Fire Pattern Twelve Beast Head Belt

Fire Pattern Twelve Beast Head Belt

Lin Mo gave Li Xuan a long look, his eyes filled with several different emotions, then walked straight out of the private room.

But the moment he stepped out, Lin Mo's face twisted. Fury flushed his face red, and he no longer knew how to vent the rage in his heart!

He angrily swung his fists through the air again and again.

Damn Li Xuan, spending so many of his Gold Soul Coins!

Damn Li Xuan for getting him drunk!

Damn Li Xuan for refusing to give him his abilities!

Damn Li Xuan for breaking free of his control!

At that moment, Lin Mo's mind was filled with hatred for Li Xuan. He wished he could bite Li Xuan to death just to vent the hatred and anger in his heart.

Still, Lin Mo was a calculating man. He quickly calmed himself, took the list from his robes, and began purchasing supplies throughout Sala City.

This time, Lin Mo had accepted quite a few favors from others and needed to procure the supplies they required.

Leaning by the window, Li Xuan watched Lin Mo's retreating figure and grinned. The angrier Lin Mo got, the better Li Xuan felt.

"Good thing I bought everything I needed in advance. Otherwise, I'd have had to waste time arguing with Lin Mo over a few Gold Soul Coins. I hope the next part of the plan goes smoothly." Li Xuan returned to the bed, lay down, and began considering his next steps.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's stomach rumbled.

"Waiter, bring me a whole table of dishes. Put it on Lin Mo's tab!" Li Xuan shouted toward the waiter in the corridor.

"Right away, young master!" the waiter answered from outside before going to prepare the feast.

Before long, a table full of dishes, complete in color, aroma, and flavor, was delivered before Li Xuan. With Lin Mo no longer in his sight, Li Xuan ate with great delight.

It had to be said that this restaurant's food was truly excellent. If Li Xuan had not needed to keep the Void Pearl's existence hidden, he would have had the restaurant prepare several tables of food for him to take away.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Xuan continued sleeping in the private room. After all, he had nothing else to do.

Time passed swiftly, and before he knew it, midnight had arrived.

Lin Mo also returned to the restaurant, dragging his exhausted body behind him.

Seeing that Li Xuan was still asleep, he nodded in satisfaction, then rented a room and went to rest alone.

Lin Mo had originally planned to leave that night, but he was simply too tired. He decided to rest for the night before returning to the Flower Sea.

Early the next morning, Li Xuan rose early. Lin Mo had already prepared to set out for the Flower Sea and appeared to be waiting for him.

Li Xuan carefully studied Lin Mo's expression and raised an eyebrow.

Lin Mo really had his eyes on him. Li Xuan had messed with him that badly, yet he could still chat with him so calmly.

Thus, Li Xuan became even more wary of Lin Mo.

"Xuan Ge'er, it's time for us to set off back to the Flower Sea. The things you purchased have already been delivered outside the city. We can take them back directly," Lin Mo said to Li Xuan with a smile.

Li Xuan froze for a moment upon hearing that, then asked Lin Mo with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? How did you know what I bought? Could anything have been left behind?" Li Xuan blinked and asked curiously.

"The supplies purchased in Sala City by the Flower Sea's managers must be reported by the shops and approved before they can be sent into the Flower Sea. Once the shops finish reporting them, the supplies are sent for inspection," Lin Mo explained with a smile. His tone was as gentle as ever, as though he had not been the one whose face had reddened with suppressed fury yesterday.

"So that's how it is. Fine by me. It saves me from having to visit each shop and talk to them. We can just leave together when the time comes." Li Xuan smiled faintly and said no more.

"Oh, there's one more thing. It was sent over by the jewelry shop, so I didn't have them send it directly back to the Flower Sea. Take a look first. If anything needs changing, we can have them alter it right away." Lin Mo pointed at a large box on the table as he spoke to Li Xuan.

Following the direction Lin Mo pointed, Li Xuan saw a fiery red brocade box on the table.

Li Xuan walked over to the brocade box and opened it.

Inside the box lay a red belt.

Li Xuan took the belt from the box and carefully examined it in his hands.

It felt heavy in his hands and carried a warm sensation. That should have been a property of the material itself.

It seemed his five Gold Soul Coins had not been wasted. The belt was of excellent quality.

The entire belt was fiery red and faintly translucent. If he had not seen the raw ore before, Li Xuan would never have believed it was metal.

It was three fingers wide and about one finger thick. Thirty-six rectangular metal pieces were connected together through mechanisms, forming the belt.

Twelve of those metal pieces had beast heads engraved in relief upon their surfaces. Each beast head was different, with distinct expressions. The carving work was exceptionally exquisite, and it seemed Li Yu had truly put effort into making this belt.

More importantly, Li Yu had considered that Li Xuan was still growing, so the metal pieces on the belt could be removed freely.

Li Xuan quickly removed twelve metal pieces, then fastened the belt around his waist. Though the belt was forged from metal, it had a layer of cloth padding on the inside that fit his body more closely. It sat perfectly around his waist, neither loose nor tight.

Li Xuan patted the belt in satisfaction, then took out a cloth bag and placed the twelve removed pieces inside.

More importantly, Li Xuan had already sensed the Void Pearl embedded within the belt. However, he did not want to inspect the Void Pearl in front of Lin Mo, so he could only leave it be.

"Xuan Ge'er, can we set off now?" Seeing that Li Xuan had played with it long enough, Lin Mo spoke.

"Let's go." Li Xuan nodded, then left the restaurant with Lin Mo and boarded a carriage bound for the Flower Sea.

Li Xuan looked around from within the carriage and found, to his surprise, that theirs was the only carriage traveling along the road.

Something was wrong!

The construction materials he had bought should have filled at least ten carts. Where had all his things gone?

"Brother Lin Mo, where are the things I bought?" Li Xuan asked Lin Mo with a confused expression.

"Although we're managers, we're still Flower Slaves. The things we purchase must undergo strict inspection before they can enter the Flower Sea. Those goods have already been sent for inspection, and it will probably take a few days before they reach us." Lin Mo smiled with delight at Li Xuan's expression.

"I see." Li Xuan nodded.

Luckily, he had put the map into his Void Pearl ahead of time. Otherwise, it would definitely have been found.

Then, Li Xuan lifted the curtain and aimlessly watched the scenery outside.

Good afternoon, dear readers. Hehe, today's update is out a tiny bit earlier again. I hope I can keep working hard and get the chapters out even earlier.
