The Golden People

Once the Vidyadhara and the people from the Alchemy Commission had been escorted away by the Cloud Knights, Bailu cautiously poked her head out and asked, "Are they all gone?"

"It's safe to come out now; they've all been taken away by the Cloud Knights," Xiao Xi said patiently.

Only then did Bailu feel relieved. "Thank you, big sisters. I am the Scion of Medicinal Sprites of the Alchemy Commission. If you two ever suffer from any bruises, colds, fevers, or other ailments in the future, feel free to come find me. My medical skills are truly excellent."

"Then we thank you, Lady Bailu. The title of 'Scion of Medicinal Sprites' of the Alchemy Commission is truly renowned throughout the Luofu Xianzhou," Stelle said with a smile, offering her praise.

"This... it's not that impressive," Bailu said, her cheeks flushing slightly as she grew shy from Stelle's compliment.

Xiao Xi couldn't help but pat Bailu on the head, softly inviting her, "Do you have anything else to do later? If not, would you like to come with Stelle and me to stroll around Aurum Alley?"

Bailu's eyes lit up in an instant. "Yes, yes! I know everything there is to know about the delicious food and fun places on the Luofu Xianzhou. I can be a tour guide for Sister Xiao Xi and Sister Stelle, and I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time," Bailu said confidently.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble you to be our guide, Lady Dragon. Let's go—destination, Aurum Alley!" Stelle said with a laugh.

The place where Stelle and Xiao Xi had met Bailu was already quite close to Aurum Alley, and after walking for only a short while, they could see their destination in the distance.

However, once they actually arrived, Xiao Xi and Stelle discovered that it was quite different from what they had seen in magazines; how should they put it—it was perhaps a bit desolate.

The street was not particularly bustling; on the contrary, there weren't many people wandering about, and while there were quite a few shops, some of the storefronts had already closed down.

Bailu, however, was not affected by this at all; instead, she pulled Xiao Xi and Stelle into the street, full of energy.

As soon as they entered, the three of them headed straight for the snack stalls in Aurum Alley, and Bailu said to us excitedly, "We're here, we're here! This is it—the gathering place for all the delicacies in Aurum Alley!"

"Big sisters, let me tell you, the most famous thing about Aurum Alley is that there is an ex-traordinary amount of delicious food here," Bailu said, gesturing with her hands, her excitement visible to the naked eye.

"The local street food here is truly authentic. If you want to eat such authentic street food on the Luofu Xianzhou today, you can't go wrong if you come here."

"Got it, got it. Hehe, are you a little glutton? You're practically drooling," Stelle teased with a smile when she saw Bailu's expression.

"Ahem, I—I am not! Anyway, just follow me and you'll be fine. I'll definitely make sure you have a good time."

"Alright, I see a snack stall up ahead. Why don't you sit on the chair nearby and wait for a moment, Bailu? Consider it payment for being our guide—Stelle and I will cover the bill today."

"Really? Thank you, big sister!" Bailu cheered.

Xiao Xi and Stelle walked up to the snack stall Bailu had recommended. "Boss, my companion and I are here traveling. Regarding the food, do you have any recommendations?"

"Hey, you've asked the right person! This is your first time on the Luofu, right? My shop is a time-honored brand that has been open here for hundreds of years. The ingredients are absolutely top-notch, and I guarantee the taste will satisfy you. Come, try a sample first; if you like anything after tasting it, I'll pack some up for you," the boss said to Xiao Xi and Stelle with great enthusiasm.
