Chapter 323 - The Four Evils Of Windless City (4)
When Leng Ruoxue and her grandfather saw this general"s mansion, which was identical to the one on the Ling Feng Continent, they were so touched that tears welled up in their eyes and threatened to spill over. Their beasts were really too considerate. Unfortunately, her elder brother was still in seclusion and had yet to see this new home!
After dinner, Leng Ruoxue and Freak returned to the purple bamboo house to continue learning mystic skills…
After two days, Leng Ruoxue finally mastered all the mystic skills proficiently. The greatest advantage of mystic skills over spiritual skills was that they were more powerful. They were only elementary mystic skills, but they were more powerful than heavenly spiritual skills!
"Xue"er, shall we go out for a walk?" Freak suggested after seeing that Xue"er had already finished learning.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue knew that Freak had been staying by her side all the time for the past two days. Although he would occasionally take advantage of her, he was probably bored to death.
"Then where should we go?" Freak asked excitedly. Yay… I"m going to spend some time alone with Xue"er!
"Let"s go shopping on the streets!" Leng Ruoxue didn"t know where to go either, but they had yet to go around the streets.
"Okay." Freak didn"t care where they went. He just wanted to be alone with Xue"er. But there were always third wheels disturbing him in the s.p.a.ce.
The two of them left the bracelet, exited the guest room, and ran into the waiter downstairs.
"Are you two going out?" the waiter asked respectfully.
"Yes, we"re going out for a walk," Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
The waiter looked around cautiously and whispered, "Dear guests, I advise you not to go out today!"
"Uh! Why is that?" Leng Ruoxue"s curiosity was piqued.
"Because today is the day the city lord"s daughter chooses her husband," the waiter said with a strange expression.
"What does her choosing her husband have to do with us?" Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement. Are ordinary people prohibited from going on the streets when the city lord"s daughter chooses her husband? If so, they"re a little too overbearing!
"Miss, to be honest, the daughter of the city lord of Windless City hates women who are more beautiful than her the most. She usually thinks of various ways to get rid of such women when she meets them…
"And she loves handsome men the most, especially stunningly beautiful men. Any man she wants can"t run away from her. Almost all the good-looking men in Windless City, except for President Lan of the Mystic a.s.sociation, have fallen into her hands…
"You two happen to fit the likes and dislikes of the city lord"s daughter, so I advise you not to go out today to avoid getting into trouble," the waiter advised earnestly.
"She"s just the daughter of a city lord. How can she be so lawless?" Leng Ruoxue really couldn"t understand. To her knowledge, the city lord of Windless City didn"t even seem to be a mystic. What could his daughter rely on to do whatever she wanted so wantonly?
"There"s nothing we can do. He has a strong backer, and no one dares to provoke him," the waiter said disdainfully.
"Do you mean the Sun family?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"Not only the Sun family but also the Artificer a.s.sociation. The city lord"s daughter is said to be a rare one-in-a-hundred-year talented artificer. Moreover, she is the beloved disciple of the Boundless Heaven Continent"s Artificer a.s.sociation"s vice president," the waiter explained.
"Artificer a.s.sociation? No wonder she"s so arrogant!" Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully. What she hated the most were the second-generation rich children who relied on their status and power to lord over others. But it was no wonder she was so rampant with the Artificer a.s.sociation backing her. After all, only the Five Major a.s.sociations were comparable to the Three Great Families on the Boundless Heaven Continent.
After hearing about the glorious deeds of the city lord"s daughter, Leng Ruoxue was surprised to find that the women she had encountered on the Ling Feng Continent were really nothing… Compared with the city lord"s daughter, those women"s behavior seemed much more childish.
"Yes! The citizens of Windless City privately named the city lord"s daughter as one of the Four Evils of Windless City," the waiter said with a chuckle.
"Uh! Four Evils? Who else is there?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"Flies, mosquitoes, c.o.c.kroaches, and the city lord"s daughter," the waiter said very smoothly.
Leng Ruoxue was at a loss for words. Rats were among the four evils she knew, but now the rats had been replaced by the city lord"s daughter. This was really…
"Guests! Don"t leave the inn for the next few days! I"m saying this for your own good," the waiter reminded worriedly.
"Uh, thank you. May I know where the city lord"s daughter will be choosing her husband?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"Why are you asking? Don"t go and watch the commotion!" the waiter said worriedly. Alas! He really didn"t want such a beautiful girl to peris.h.!.+
"Hehe, don"t worry. We won"t go." Although Leng Ruoxue wasn"t afraid of trouble, she was new here after all, so she wouldn"t cause trouble if possible. After all, a strong dragon couldn"t suppress a local snake!
"Oh, that"s good. The city lord"s daughter will be choosing her husband on East Street. It should be under martial law now," the waiter said.
"Hehe, thanks for the news." Leng Ruoxue took out a purple gold coin and stuffed it into the waiter"s hand as a reward. Then she walked out of the inn with Freak.
The waiter stood still while looking foolishly at the pair leaving as he muttered in his head, Didn"t I make it clear? Why do they still want to go out?
"Xue"er, where are we going to shop?" Freak asked after leaving the inn.
"Wherever you want," Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. She came out to be with Freak!
"The city lord"s daughter is in the east. Let"s go north!" Freak said after some thought.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded, and the two walked toward North Street together.
North Street was in the north of Windless City and was a rather bustling street. There were shops lining both sides of the street, but there were few pedestrians on the street.
"Xue"er, let"s have a bowl of noodles!" The two of them walked around for a while before Freak happened to see a noodle stall on the street, so the idea of eating noodles came to his mind.
