Chapter 1423: Chapter 1421: Who’s the Idiot
“Ah…” Even after Wang Dadong had stopped for quite a while, Gado was still screaming.
“Come on, don’t scream so ecstatically. It’s like I’ve forcibly done something to you. Well, now no one should be able to tell you’re the Cardinal anymore, right?” Wang Dadong said to himself, looking satisfied at the Cardinal whose appearance had completely changed.
Hearing Wang Dadong’s words, Gado finally calmed down, turned to look in the glass next to her, and screamed again.
The glass reflected a completely unfamiliar face.
“What have you done to me? My face, ouch, it hurts!” Gado touched her face and felt a sharp pain.
“Don’t move! I placed silver needles in your face. If you move recklessly, you might get injured and disfigured. I won’t be responsible for that,” Wang Dadong quickly said.
Gado immediately dared not move anymore.
Despite being a goddess untouched by the human world, she was still afraid of being disfigured.
Next, Wang Dadong also disguised himself.
This way, it wouldn’t be so easy for the people from the Holy See to catch them.
Seeing Wang Dadong change his appearance with just a few silver needles and a few pinches on his cheekbones and chin, the beautiful Cardinal showed a look of surprise.
“How did you do that?”
“It’s simple, really. It’s just a derivative use of Huaxia’s acupuncture and bone-setting techniques. Changing appearance is no big deal. If we wanted to, we could even change the size of our bodies, though there are certain parts that can’t be changed,” Wang Dadong said casually.
“Huaxia really is a magical country.” Gado marveled.
There are many ways internationally to change appearance, but changing body shape is quite difficult.
How many secrets is this man hiding?
With their appearances changed, Wang Dadong could now walk boldly in this religious country without hindrance.
The bustling streets were filled with cars, and the two of them wandered like a pair of young lovers among various street stalls.
Especially Gado, who was now no longer the cold, high goddess she once was, but a naive girl full of curiosity about everything.
She even squatted down and carefully selected at stalls selling counterfeit goods.
However, she knew she had no money, so she just looked.
“Does this look good on me?” Gado asked Wang Dadong, tilting her head with a shiny water diamond hair clip in her hair.
Even though Gado had been disguised by Wang Dadong, she still looked like an extraordinarily beautiful woman, with arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, and little dimples that appeared when she smiled.
“It looks good.” Wang Dadong nodded with a smile.
Although it was just a water diamond hair clip that wouldn’t be worth much in Huaxia Country, it looked more dazzling than a real diamond on Gado’s head.
“Do you like it? If you do, I’ll give it to you,” Wang Dadong said.
Gado took the hair clip from her head and shook her head gently.
She liked it, but both she and Wang Dadong had no money.
They had already stolen clothes and dined and dashed before, which made her feel bad enough. How could she take someone else’s things on top of that?
“Actually, there’s nothing special about it. Oh, what’s that?” Gado put the hair clip back on the stall and ran joyfully to another stall.
“Boss, how much for this?” Wang Dadong picked up the hair clip.
“Young man, you have a good eye. This is our latest model of the year, designed by a professional designer over five months. It’s definitely worth the price!” The vendor, being quite shrewd, had already seen that Wang Dadong was going to buy it for that impossibly pretty girl.
Wang Dadong was speechless, thinking how it was just something any ordinary factory could produce for a cost of about five bucks, almost getting inflated into a world-limited edition by this vendor.
“Just tell me the price?”
“Just a thousand euros, fair trade.” The vendor said.
“What the hell, why don’t you just rob someone!” Wang Dadong cursed outright.
“Buy it or not, it’s up to you. If you don’t, I’m only short by one euro, but your girlfriend, tsk tsk…” The vendor had a knowing look.
“Buy!” Wang Dadong gritted his teeth and said.
If it were any other time, he would have just flipped the stall over. But since he wanted to give it to Gado, it couldn’t be a stolen gift.
He immediately threw an old ring to the vendor from his hand.
“I have no money; use this as payment.”
The vendor picked up the ring, looked at it, and his eyes flashed with a sharp glow.
Although he sold fake goods, precisely because he’d seen so many fakes, he could instantly recognize the real thing.
Damn, this ring looked unremarkable, but there was an eighty percent chance it was an antique, and it was made of gold inlaid with jade.
“Enough looking, Empress of the Ming Dynasty of Huaxia’s burial item. I bought it for over a hundred thousand, and I’m letting you have it cheap.”
“That’s out of my league.” The vendor pretended to be in a dilemma.
“No need to get change, just give me some cash. I’m short of money right now.” Wang Dadong said impatiently.
The vendor’s eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out a few dozens of euros and handed them to Wang Dadong.
“Thanks.” Wang Dadong left a sentence, didn’t even count it, took the money and hair clip, and chased after Gado.
The vendor was dumbfounded for quite a while before muttering, “Idiot!”
Then he carefully played with the ring in his hand, suddenly seeming to think of something, and quickly and cautiously put the ring away.
Exchanging something worth over a hundred thousand for a trinket worth a few bucks and a few dozen euros, Wang Dadong’s actions were indeed quite foolish.
But was it really an Empress’s burial item from the Ming Dynasty? Wang Dadong didn’t know; it was a gift from a friend who used to run an antique shop, and the claim that it cost over a hundred thousand was just a casual lie.
However, when the vendor called Wang Dadong an idiot, it wasn’t because Wang Dadong exchanged something worth over a hundred thousand for a trinket worth a few bucks.
Instead, it was because this thing wasn’t just worth a hundred thousand; it was clearly worth millions!
While the two were haggling, Gado ran over to another stall.
“Gado.” As she picked up an earring to try it on, a low voice suddenly spoke beside her.
She turned her head and saw a woman picking out jewelry right next to her.
Gado’s face changed dramatically.
“Don’t look at me, just listen.” The woman said.
“Yes, High Priestess Mei Lan.” Gado couldn’t suppress her surprise, having not expected to be recognized by the High Priestess even after changing her appearance.
But that was understandable; she had trained in the Holy Light Power of the Holy See. Even if her cultivation was sealed by Wang Dadong, with the strength of the Guardian Priest, she would surely be noticed at a glance.
“I have a special perfume here. Ordinary people won’t notice anything unusual when they smell it, but if a master of internal strength smells it and then uses their inner strength, it will quickly deplete. However, they must inhale a sufficient amount. Spray it on yourself and find a chance to let him smell it.” As Mei Lan spoke, she handed a small bottle to Gado.
Discovering that Gado was hanging out with that dreadful man made Mei Lan very angry. However, she could just exploit this opportunity…
