"Sure." Jin Huan nodded.
So, they were heading to the night market to enjoy the hotpot there. They went to their usual restaurant. When they arrived at the restaurant, Jin Huan spotted a figure.
"Oh, it is that girl from earlier." One of the men said.
"What do you mean by that?" Jin Huan asked.
"Earlier, we arrested the group of men who tried to kidnap the girl at the Shanghai Inn. The innkeeper sent someone to call us. They were indeed trying to drag the girl away when we arrived." The man said.
"When did that happen?" Jin Huan asked.
"A few hours ago. Oh, you went to meet the city lord." The man said.
"How about the men?" Jin Huan asked again.
"We dealt with them and threw them out of the city. We had banned them from entering the city ever." The man stated.
Jin Huan nodded. He was satisfied with the punishment. He looked at the girl again.
The man saw him staring at the girl and joked around.
"Captain, are you interested in the girl? If you do, just go and get to know her." The man said.
Hearing that, Jin Huan frowned. He smacked the man’s head.
"What are you thinking? That girl is still young." Jin Huan said.
"Ouch... Captain, that’s hurt." The man rubbed his head.
"Serve you right." Jin Huan stated.
"I am just joking." The man was still rubbing his head.
Jin Huan looked at Bai Xifeng once again. He did not know why the girl seemed to attract his attention like that. He admitted that she was indeed gorgeous. But it was not that which attracted his attention. It was something else. And he could not explain that.
Bai Xifeng did not know that she had become something that someone could not explain. She was enjoying the hotpot. She already spent three hours at the hotpot.
Even the owner had noticed Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng kept calling the waiter to refill the stuff. They were surprised by how much Bai Xifeng could eat.
After four hours, Bai Xifeng had finally finished eating. Well, it was because the restaurant was closing up. Bai Xifeng paid for the food that she ate. She praised the owner for the delicious hotpot.
The owner was stunned for a moment. It had been a while since he got praise for the food. It made him happy. The girl appreciated the food.
Bai Xifeng walked to the Shanghai Inn. This time, no one followed her.
...
The next day, Bai Xifeng continued her exploration. She walked to north. She found a shop that sold beasts. She became interested in seeing what kind of beasts they had.
It was so big. There were a lot of beasts inside. They were caged and seemed to be in a calm state.
"Welcome... Welcome... You may look around. We have a lot of beasts inside." The storekeeper smiled widely.
"Sure." Bai Xifeng nodded.
They really had a lot of beasts.
"How much is this horse?"
Bai Xifeng heard a girl’s voice. She looked around and saw a girl with a maid and a guard. She looked like she came from a prestigious family. Bai Xifeng looked at the horse that the girl mentioned.
That was not a normal horse. It had wings. ’That was freaking Pegasus.’ Not to mention, it was so beautiful. Its body was shining silver. It was indeed shining when seen from certain angles.
"Young Lady, this horse is Qianlima. It is not a normal horse. It is 20 million gold." The storekeeper said.
"20 million gold?" The girl repeated the words.
"I understand if you think it is so expensive. You can find another beast that is in your budget." The storekeeper said.
He thought the girl was shocked when he mentioned how much it cost. He understood it might be overwhelming for her.
"Not bad." The girl nodded.
"What?" The storekeeper stumbled.
"I will buy it." The girl had decided.
"Really?" The storekeeper could not help to ask again.
"I am telling you, I am buying that. Do you understand?" The girl said it loud and clear.
"Yes... " The storekeeper nodded like he was the bird character in the Woody Woodpecker cartoon.
The storekeeper rushed to process the payment. The girl signalled her maid. The maid took out the card.
Bai Xifeng recognised the card. It was from Tongyuan Bank. The money had been transferred. Sometimes, it made Bai Xifeng think if the bank had modern technology.
The storekeeper sent someone to call the beast tamer to do the contract ritual between the girl and Qianlima. Bai Xifeng wanted to see the process.
While waiting for the beast tamer to come, the people carried the cage that contained the Qianlima to the large space. The space was quite big.
The girl had been given VVIP treatment. She had served with a drink and refreshment. People heard about the purchase. They came to see who was the richest one. They were shocked to hear how much the person spent.
The beast tamer came. He smiled as he approached the girl.
"Young Lady, please come and follow me." The beast tamer stated.
Bai Xifeng watched to see how the beast tamer did the contract ritual. The beast tamer ordered the people to take out the Qianlima from its cage. The people slowly took out the Qianlima. They were really careful in the process because they did not want the beast to startle.
