Chapter 53: New Friend (1)
Contrary to the flamboyant voice, a innocent looking lady with translucent white jade skin, plump red lips and doe like eyes as blue as sapphire. She wore a white and green flowy hanfu which matched her smooth jade skin.
"Miss, you are?" Zi Hua turned around in confusion.
"Oh my, I have forgotten to introduce myself, excuse my manners, I should've introduced myself before asking a pretty lady like you out" The lady gave a sweet and playful smile.
"My name is Xue Lian" (A/N: Xue means snow and Lian is lotus, shout out to AkikoMiku for suggesting Lotus)
"A pleasure to meet you, I am Zi Hua, I have to say that that is quite a rare name that you have and I don't see Xue as a surname often" Zi Hua didn't mind the lady, she passed her assessment from Truth's eye and she may be related to them...
It's just that she could not determine Xue Lian's principles, beings who pass her assessment all have principles, their bottom line, they will always abide by their principles but Xue Lian's seem uncertain, it was like a wave, her principles seem to fluctuate slightly based on her mood, her principles are a mystery but what's was important to Zi Hua was that she abides by them.
The slight fluctuations won't make too much of a difference though, it just makes her quite whimsical.
"Pretty lady, my clan's a bit different, males take on Mu and females take on Xue, we do not have surnames"
"What an interesting system" Now her suspicions were more of less confirmed, however she doesn't know their situation and she don't want to put them in any danger by revealing their existence.
"Why thank you, now what's your answer to my invitation?" Xue Lian's eyes bent into crescents and her mouth became a curved line.
"It would be my honor" If she hangs out with Xue Lian she may be able to dig more information out of her.
"Let's set off shall we" Xue Lian then grabbed her by the arm and led her outside the inn towards the market place.
A variety of people were in the market place and a variety of goods were displayed in the city, earning it the name Mauve Merchant City, due to the vast amount of merchants in the city and the mallow flowers which bloom at the entrance of the city.
Mauve Merchant City is also where the main Rarity Dew Auction House is situated, although lord breaking pills were rare in Cerulean Coral City, due to the dealings that Rarity Dew Auction House has with various experts, lord breaking pills will appear in their monthly auctions here at Mauve Merchant City, it is an excellent business opportunity for them since there was already a large inflow of merchants so most of the valuable treasures will end up being sold here.
However to keep the power balance, they do not sell more than 2 lord breaking pills and 1 overlord breaking pill to each power from the Main Auction House, that was the reason why so many powers scurried to acquire Zi Hua's lord breaking pill since they had used up their turns from the Main Auction House, though once they are sold who it ends up in the hands of is out of their jurisdiction...
"The confectioneries here are delicious, they have dragon's beard, mochi of all sorts of flavors and fillings, red bean paste fried mochi, egg cake, crackers, haw flakes, egg tart, buns, doufu hua, si mi lu, tang yuan, nian gao, rice cake, water chestnut cake, thousand layered cake, sugar-coated dried fruits, tanghulu, sculpted candy, red bean pudding cake..." And the list goes on, Xue Lian led Zi Hua towards the shop.
Despite it being ancient-like some aspects here were quite advanced, most likely due to the existence of cultivation and cultivators, so the food was comparable to modern food.
"Choose what you want, my treat" She didn't mind being a spend-thrift, especially when it came to confectionery, money was of little value to her in the first place.
"You said it" In the presence of such mouth-watering desserts Zi Hua threw away her face, what's face, what's face? Can you eat it?
It seems like she had been interacting too much with Xiao Hong, talking about Xiao Hong...
Back in Heaven-defying artifact, a red haired girl sat in a corner growing mushrooms, full of grievances.
"Master, you forgot me!" Her cries were futile since Zi Hua had blocked the connection so that she will not be distracted whilst walking around like last time in Starlight Continent, especially since she had company.
