The Demon Lords

Chapter 1020: Chapter 238: Good Sister_2

At this moment, in order to avoid suspicion, A Ming, He Chunlai, and Chen Daole were not sitting on the rooftop but rather in the pavilion, continuing to drink wine.

A Ming liked drinking, He Chunlai could hold his liquor well, while Chen Daole’s drinking capacity was average, but he enjoyed the ambiance of drinking, occasionally pondering life’s brevity.

"It seems very busy outside," He Chunlai remarked.

They were aware of Siniang’s dual role as a subordinate and the mistress.

Chen Daole was already slightly drunk and said:

"Since it’s so busy outside, why are we still kept here at the Fan Mansion?"

A Ming took a sip of red wine,

swirled his wine glass,

and said:

"Thus, it shows just how useless we three must be."

"......" He Chunlai.

"......" Chen Daole.

...

Xiayong city was not small, because, strictly speaking, Xiayong here was not considered the frontline, so it was not a "military stronghold."

Xiayong city did not have a curfew, so the disguised Siniang could walk on the rather busy street at this time, and crossing this street, she would reach the south city gate.

The official guarding the south city gate was from the Fan Family, and Siniang could pass with the Fan Family’s token because she not only had to leave the city herself but also had to procure some potentially useful items to take along.

At that moment,

two vibrant young women walked past Siniang, and Siniang inhaled the fragrance emanating from them.

Lord Zheng disliked such things, but Siniang, being a woman, had long mastered this realm, and her ability to differentiate such scents was naturally superior, including some "luxury items" of this world.

This scent,

came from the elusive Daze agarwood, extremely precious.

Judging by the scent diffusion, it was likely used to perfume the clothing of those two ladies.

Such an extremely rare fragrance used to scent clothing was the epitome of luxury.

Moreover, Daze agarwood was rarely produced and mainly monopolized by the Chu royal family; the last time Siniang acquired a piece was when Zheng Fan plundered the Jin State’s palace.

The Chu royal family liked to give this item as a present, also accompanying it during diplomatic exchanges.

Siniang hesitated for a moment and paused her steps.

But she quickly cleared her throat and spit on the ground, stomping her foot and cursing:

"Direct Thief, this weather is deadly cold!"

Siniang, at this moment, was disguised as a man with a thick beard. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

While she intended to pause earlier, she acutely sensed that a group of undercover elites were guarding those two girls.

Two sides of the rooftops,

followers on the ground,

responding front and rear,

no less than twenty guards, and all were skilled.

If she had shown the slightest abnormality earlier, it might have alerted those guards.

With her experience, Siniang knew full well not to expose any flaws.

However, upon discovering this, Siniang was in no hurry to leave the city; she wanted to keep observing, to keep watching.

But she dared not stay too close, maintaining some distance.

Because of the Fan Family’s presence, the Fan Family’s food, clothing, luxury, and extravagance have substantially enhanced Xiayong’s prosperity, while their commerce has gathered many branches of Chu region’s major merchants here, making the night market extremely lively.

The two ladies seemed to be shopping, looking around here and there, occasionally taking out silver to buy some small items to take back.

Siniang, hidden in the shadows, observed their details, and with her discerning eyes and insight, small details could often infer many valuable pieces of information.

What signifies poverty, what embodies true wealth, what is ostentatious, and what naturally exudes affluence.

The girl in red clothes appeared to be carefree, but in reality, she continually showed flattery to the cute-faced girl beside her.

This degree of flattery was well-balanced, making herself appear straightforward yet ensuring the girl felt comfortable, reaching the highest level of flattery.

With the blessing of my lord,

the devil kings these years have been forcedly supplemented with too much "flattery philosophy";

simultaneously, why does my lord frequently earn the favor of big figures?

That is also because my lord is the master of this art.

That girl in red attire might still be a bit immature, but against the cute-faced girl, her approach was just right.

The cute-faced girl exuded seemingly lively movements, but in essence, her every step bore restraint, clearly living in a highly regulated environment.

Originally, Siniang just intended to observe;

but the more she watched, the more she felt that this cute-faced girl’s identity might be significant.

The perfume was the first signal, the surrounding guards were corroborative, and the body language and minute details the cute-faced girl revealed, analyzed by Siniang herself, were the final conclusions. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Driven by a devil’s intuition, Siniang felt she had discovered a big catch, perhaps even a "White Dragonfish Uniform."

The two girls seemed fatigued from shopping and entered a teahouse that featured Jiangnan flavors from Qian State, specializing in snacks and tea.

Qian people doing business abroad, and not just Qian people, but people from other regions opening shops, as long as they use the "Qian region" brand, they inevitably showcase strange quirks, because living thriftily and exquisitely has become common knowledge among Eastern nations.
