Chapter 190: Chapter 189 The Person Who Confused Xiaomei
“Who exactly are you?” Silver Fox looked at Sally, no longer feeling so cautious. Just this brief encounter had proven her strength: even at his peak, he was no match for her, let alone now.
“Just passing by.” Sally tossed him a bottle of elixir.
Silver Fox caught it with his mouth, hesitated none, crunched it open, and swallowed it alongside the shattered glass.
Seeing this, Sally’s lip corner twitched slightly: …Doesn’t it hurt your mouth?!
Before her eyes, the wounds on Silver Fox’s body healed.
Sally was somewhat surprised. The elixir was something she had picked up during the Holy War, from the belongings left by defeated squads; unexpectedly, it was quite effective.
“Let’s leave this place first.” Wrapping Silver Fox in her elemental power, she teleported outside the brothel.
The people inside the brothel all ran out, scattering in all directions. The Brothel Madam sat on the ground and wept.
“My life’s work!”
Suddenly, a disheveled woman burst out of the crowd, holding a knife, and stabbed the Brothel Madam straight in the neck.
The Brothel Madam looked at her, blood gushing from her mouth, unable to utter a word, and with eyes filled with rage, she breathed her last with a grudge.
The disheveled woman dropped the knife and disappeared back into the crowd, fleeing.
It wasn’t just this woman; others who had been imprisoned were also saved by Xiaomei.
When the fire started, Sally thought of the people locked up in the dungeon, so she had Xiaomei move all those still alive outside.
Unexpectedly, these women turned out to be quite fierce.
They took the opportunity to return and exact their revenge.
And the Brothel Madam truly deserved her fate.
…
Silver Fox’s name was Qing He, and he came from Green Hill Valley.
When Xiaomei heard this name, she advised Sally to get on good terms with him, since the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox also came from Green Hill Valley.
By now, Sally was incredibly curious about this Nine-tailed Celestial Fox; the kind of talent Xiaomei held in such high esteem.
The Fox Clan were adept at disguise, so Sally had him transform into a cat that somewhat resembled a silver gradient. That way, no one would notice him walking down the street.
“Did you come to the Mortal World just to degrade yourself, mixing in with nothing? You are from the Fox Clan, yet you not only fail to enchant others, but you get enchanted yourself. If our ancestors heard of this, they would surely spit out blood in frustration.”
Qing He hung his head in shame, “I… I’ve only just descended from the mountain.”
“Just left the mountain and nearly got wiped out; I think you’d better return and learn some more skills from your clan members.” Sally stopped, looking across the street at the large vermilion gates ahead, hung with a signboard made of rosewood — Feng Residence.
“I hadn’t expected the Mortal World to be so perilous,” Qing He squatted down, lifting a hind leg to scratch his ear.
Watching his action, Sally found it slightly dog-like….
“Where there’s gain to be had, there’s peril.”
Qing He hung his cat head lower, “That person lives over there; I thought it was a lady of peerless beauty, but turned out to be a man… I won’t come down the mountain so easily in the future.”
With that, he ran off, calling back as he went, “I’ve told you who he is, so we’re even.”
Sally replied, “Alright.”
Qing He ran off.
Sally then activated the System Map to check out Feng Residence.
When she saw the beautiful woman sitting under the grapevines, sipping tea and enjoying fresh fruit, she understood why Qing He was deceived.
Indeed, this woman was out of the ordinary. If it were just about appearance, she would naturally be a top beauty, but nothing incomparable; even her own body’s looks surpassed hers.
However, she exuded a mysterious aura that attracted others, making it hard to look away.
“Xiaomei, is this the person who’s confused you?” Sally asked Xiaomei.
Xiaomei responded, “He’s very skilled at disguising himself; even I was fooled.”
“What do you mean?”
“He’s from the Demon Clan, not the Human Clan.”
“Even though he hides it well, he exposed his own aura by injuring Silver Fox.”
“What kind of demon is he?” Sally asked, curious if the creature that had deceived Xiaomei was an expert in disguise—a great immortal, perhaps.
Xiaomei replied, “He is a Snake Demon.”
As expected, a great immortal.
“Now that we know, let’s get going,” Sally said, stroking her belly that had been growing slowly for over half a month.
Her waistline wasn’t obvious yet, but in the last few days, her belly would swell up like a blown-up ball.
“I’m a bit hungry, let’s find somewhere to eat and then get some sleep,” she added.
“Alright, Host,” Xiaomei responded, losing interest after learning what the other was.
Sally also had a similar Beast Husband belonging to the serpentine kind—Zi Qi. Though he was a hybrid, he possessed the bloodline of the Snake Clan and was a Dragon Snake, with a talent surpassing this one before her.
Sally teleported away and found an inn to rest in.
As soon as she entered, she was greeted warmly by the attendant, “Welcome, esteemed guest.”
“Do you have any premium rooms available?”
“Yes, yes, please come to our Virtue Room.”
Following the attendant into the Virtue Room, Sally gave him a gold coin and asked not to be disturbed.
The attendant, pocketing the tip, assured her, “Please rest well, esteemed guest, no one will disturb you.”
After drinking a cup of juice made from heaven-sent treasures, Sally’s stomach was quickly satisfied, and drowsiness crept over her.
She fell onto the bed and began to sleep.
But, she hadn’t slept long when Manman, who had had her fill of sleep, woke her up.
The little girl wanted to play with a mechanical bird and asked if she had bought one yet.
Sally immediately felt awake again.
She could not break her promise to her child! Telling Manman to wait, she teleported out of the inn and headed for the market.
However, after asking several shops, she could find no mechanical birds.
Finally, a beggar on the street told Sally that the mechanical birds were released by the Feng Residence, which would surely have them.
Sally gave the beggar two gold coins and teleported towards Feng Residence.
Arriving at the entrance of Feng Residence, Sally knocked on the grand vermilion door.
The door opened.
The servant inquired, “Who might you be?”
Sally replied, “I would like to meet the young mistress of Feng Residence, could you please announce my visit?” and handed the servant another gold coin.
The servant’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Is this gold!”
Sally nodded, “Yes, it’s fairly pure.”
It was mainly because she didn’t have any other currency, but it was fortunate that this continent accepted gold.
The servant immediately went to make the announcement.
Soon, the servant returned and invited her to meet the Feng young mistress.
Following the servant for a while, Sally then saw the Feng young mistress.
The young mistress was surprised to see Sally, “Miss Sally?”
Sally was taken aback, looking at the Feng young mistress, her features seemed strangely familiar.
Xiaomei said, “She is Fen Jue.”
“No wonder. Since we are acquainted, it should be easier to talk,” Sally said, feigning confusion on her face, “How does the Feng young mistress know my surname?”
Although she had asked the servant to announce her, she hadn’t disclosed who she was or her name.
Caught off guard, Fen Jue decided not to hide any longer, “I… I was previously at the teahouse wearing a mask, my apologies.”
“No problem, and you don’t need to apologize to me. It’s actually me who has brazenly come here, hoping to buy something from the Feng young mistress,” Sally explained.
