Chapter 315: Playmate (1/2)

Time ticked by slowly. Xue Wei had been in the refining chamber for five days, and when he emerged, he was not sure as to how he was feeling.

Although it was his first time refining these pills, and the first time attempting something this challenging, he had hoped for a better success rate than what he had gotten.

A servant had been standing outside the door of the refining room, waiting for Xue Wei to emerge. When he saw him, he was very polite as he led Xue Wei towards the lodgings, that had been prepared for him and his friends.

Behind the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was a whole district of the city which was designated to the Pavilion's workers, guests, elders, and so on.

They had found rooms for every single member of the ambassador's entourage. Xue Wei was sent to a courtyard that looked very similar to the ones he had stayed in back in the academy in Yan Dalu.

Xue Wei decided to stay in the house for a day. Although he had managed to concoct pills and take breaks in between to restore his energy, he still felt fatigued after working non-stop for five days.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he quickly found out that the house was empty. His companions had left to enter the city, as to what they needed to do, Xue Wei was not sure.

Maybe they had gone shopping for fun, perhaps they had gone to help find a ship, or even more likely was it that they had entered the town to get rumors of the auction that would happen in a few days, and see what the response was to the things Xue Wei had put up for auction.

Xue Wei did not put too much thought into the subject but found an unoccupied room where he laid down on the bed and slipped into a deep slumber.

While he was sleeping, Lin Xiao, Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, and Hei Gou were walking on the streets of Treasure City.

All of them were cultivators, and their hearing was much better than that of ordinary people. When coupled with the fact that these experts did not bother to hide their conversation, it was easy to listen in on the subjects that were being discussed.

The most discussed subject was the auction. Everyone was eager to know more about the things that were being put up for sale at the auction.

Secondly was the infamous blood ship that had emerged in the harbor. All were curious about who had purchased it, but no one knew. There were rumors about the Fierce Demon Pirate Crew having acquired it, but there was no concrete proof for anyone buying it.

The ship was placed in the harbor where it had been from the beginning, a few men and women were onboard it, but not many. If one wanted to steal the ship, it would be possible, but all knew the consequences of stealing a ship on Treasure Island.

Lin Xiao had looked around after listening in on the conversations, and after considering for some time, he took Luoluo with him to a teahouse.

Bai Tianyi and Hei Gou tried finding news on the streets while Lin Xiao and Luoluo listened in on things in the teahouse.

”Did you hear that there will be rainbow pills at the auction?” was the phrase most said in the teahouse, and most would answer with disdain that they had known for a long time.

”Such a cute little girl,” a voice suddenly sounded in the teahouse, and a small boy who seemed to be around ten years old looked at Luoluo with curiosity in his eyes.

He had never seen a child who looked so pure and so much like a little doll, and he instantly felt a curiosity towards the child.

Luoluo looked at the boy, but her facial expressions did not change, she did not even acknowledge seeing him.

The young boy was curious about this young girl. He was too young to understand the matters between men and women, but he still felt favorable emotions towards this little girl and wanted to bring her home with him to play with.

He had grown up getting everything he wanted. When he wanted to play, servants would play with him. When he wanted a pet, Fierce Beasts would be tamed for him. If he wanted to play with someone, then it would be that person's honor to play with him.

Never before had he seen a small girl like this who viewed him as air. ”Men, I want to play with her!” he exclaimed, and the men who had followed him out of the mansion went to Lin Xiao's side and withdrew a small purse which seemed to have some essence stones in it.

”Let our young master play with your little sister, and we will pay you two hundred essence stones in return,” the man said as if he had already determined that they would accept, but to his surprise, Lin Xiao just snorted.

”Take your essence stones and scram,” he said in a low and dangerous voice. Although Xue Wei had warned them before he entered the refining chamber to be careful, he also would never allow them to be abused, so Lin Xiao did not fear them.

The men that had come out were all Sky Knights ranked between the first and third layer. They were simply not the opponent of Lin Xiao.

However, the young boy did not seem to understand this point. He pointed at Luoluo with his small childish fingers and once more said, ”I want that girl to play with me! She is cute as a doll; only such a high-quality person deserves to play with this lord!”

Luoluo who had been quiet for a long time lifted her head, and her previously expressionless face turned loathing.
