Fortune's Arrangement (Revised)

"Eh?!"

Startled, Xiao Yi Xian watched as Gu Mo'er's jade-like hand passed by her ear and lifted that strand of gray hair.

With a gentle twist, the strands entwined together. The gray became even more pronounced, yet it carried a unique charm.

Kurumi swept the hair hanging by Xiao Yi Xian's shoulder behind her back, withdrew her hand, and paid no mind to the lingering fragrance drifting through the air.

"Has your Poison Body erupted?"

"As expected, nothing escapes your eyes."

"It's not like I'm blind."

"Mm..." Xiao Yi Xian gathered her thoughts slightly. "After leaving the Northwest Continent, I encountered undead like those in Qingshan Town, but they were all wiped out by various Dou Emperors who seemed to belong to an army."

"I was questioned repeatedly along the way, but there were far fewer dangers. The bandits and outlaws who usually roamed about did not dare come out to rob anyone."

"Let's talk somewhere else." Xun'er stepped forward. Xiao Yi Xian stopped speaking and nodded lightly.

At a teahouse somewhere in the city, Xiao Yi Xian had become one of the Pill Tower's most prominent figures in recent years. In Holy Pill City, her name was truly thunderous. Not to mention that this teahouse stood close to the Pill Tower—without some backing, how could it dare open its doors in such a prized location?

The teahouse owner personally came to receive them, selecting the finest private room for the three of them. He wore a smiling face and appeared exceedingly sincere.

Naturally, the tea was also the best the establishment had to offer.

A specialty of the Beast Domain. Kurumi had drunk it before.

A powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake. Most of this tea was inferior stock sold by the great local Magical Beast clans.
