Chapter 192 – Herb Garden

Chapter 192 – Herb Garden

The next day, Aiko was completely rested and ready to brawl.

She would shop to her heart's content, since she would have to sit through yet another banquet.

At that thought, Aiko just wanted to run away, but she couldn't leave Lady Liu alone with Chen Shi. Who knows what he would do to her...

And... Aiko would also like to give a gift to Lady Liu.

She took good care of them and even taught them etiquette.

While it's not important currently, as Aiko could just play the 'too young card', that thing won't last forever, so she should start training the 'reserved beauty card'.

Aiko stared towards her team, they were once again chatting along. She was happy that they were on good terms, since Aiko would be sad to lose either of them.

Their cooperation was also good, the Umbra Fox always had a few ropes on her hands to tie her assailants.

Meanwhile, the Blood Fox was the muscle of the group. She could easily lift all the tied-up bodies and transport them somewhere else.

...

Aiko stretched and waited for her team to get ready. She would go in the Sect Clothes, since they were attracting less attention.

It was definitely not because she didn't want the Umbra and Blood Fox to dress her up.

Aiko didn't have to wait long before they were ready.

Now it looked like Aiko was the Young Miss of some wealthy individual, followed by her guards.

Aiko happily nodded and took the Lamp with her, since she got the Ghost that served as a pseudo-version of Mei.

She could buy a few more pieces of clothing for Mei, since she rarely saw her change clothing.

That was not bad since Aiko was similar, but she felt that it would be better if Mei had more clothing. She would no longer grow higher, unlike Aiko who was yet to reach her top height.

Aiko skipped a few steps and jumped on the wall to their courtyard. They couldn't use their Recognition Inhibition Bracelets inside the Palace, but that same rule didn't apply outside the Palace.

This would allow them to stay mostly hidden from others, but very hidden from Mortals.

They wouldn't be disturbed while shopping if they were like this.

...

Aiko equipped both of her Recognition Inhibition Bracelets, which turned her 'ugly', but compared to Mortals, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

They traversed the alleys, since most nice shops were quite far away from the Palace for some reason.

Aiko didn't understand why, but considering their speed, that was not an issue.

She could traverse the city many times before the sun went down, which meant the actual time would be spent shopping.

Her first destination was the Herb Garden.

Aiko had no idea why they called it like that and she wouldn't question it as long as they had good quality products.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

As they arrived in front of the shop, they could already smell the alluring smell of the Herbs.

They entered the Herb Garden. It was quite a large shop compared to the shops around, but it was still smaller than the Inscription Shop owned by Chen Shi.

"Ah, but before we start." Aiko smirked. "No bullshit with Jade Slips, alright? Everything will be done so that everyone currently inside can see it." Aiko wouldn't let them try to scam her, since the Blood Fox gave her a few tips when they were walking through the alleys.

His face distorted further, this stupid Young Miss dared to question his credibility.

"Why should we cater to you? This challenge was taken by many and none had issues." He proclaimed.

"Pfft." Aiko almost laughed out loud. "Would you be proud to announce to others that you were scammed?" Aiko giggled, her sweet laughter attracted more attention from outside and the peanut gallery increased. Some actually had real nuts!

"You wouldn't announce it, you would rather leave with pride." Aiko shrugged and shook her head at him. "Do I look like a stupid Young Miss to you, old fossil?" Aiko scoffed at him.

'Yes...' The Peanut gallery behind Aiko nodded their heads that she looked like that. Fortunately, Aiko didn't notice that otherwise, she would cuss everyone out of the shop.

"You-!" The old Cultivator behind the counter almost raged.

"Enough." The Manager spotted this commotion and came out. "What's happening?"

"He is trying to scam me." Aiko pouted innocently. "I just want to take the challenge and get what's on the sign..." Aiko hmpfed away from them, like stupid Young Miss would do.

His brows twitched, but their Owner said that they should attract more customers this way, so they had to naturally humour her.

"You can take the Challenge-" The Manager said, but Aiko interrupted him.

"So that everyone could see it." Aiko smiled from ear to ear.

The Manager was also slowly losing patience, but he had an important guest inside, so he couldn't make too big of a ruckus.

"That can be arranged." The Manager nodded, trying to satisfy this little Young Miss.

Aiko nodded with clear and innocent eyes and happily smiled.

The Shop was pretty much packed with people, only about 1.5 metres around Aiko was unoccupied and that was only because her team was holding them back with their glares.

Some sat down, others pulled out chairs. They had this odd feeling that they would be here for quite some time, so they prepared the necessities to watch the show.

"Nuts, all kinds of nuts!" One spectator started to sell the important food for spectating.

"I will take one pack."

"I will take two."

"Give me a few, too."

Everyone immediately jumped at this situation and Aiko's lips could only twitch.

'Maybe I should buy a few shops of nuts and sell them whenever I get into this situation...' Aiko thought about it for a while, even if she raised the price a bit, some would still buy it. Not to mention, considering the times and times she got into this kind of trouble... she would definitely make a lot of profits...

Aiko nodded gently, swaying her body from boredom. "Have you prepared it?"

The old Cultivator was a lot more polite now, but he was still glaring at the stupid Young Miss. "We are still preparing it."

"How about now?" Aiko soon asked again.

"Not yet." The old Cultivator had a really unsightly expression and he wished that this little stupid Young Miss would finally give up and head home, but unfortunately...

"And now?" Aiko asked again and he almost flipped the whole counter on her.

"Not. Yet!" He stared daggers at the stupid Young Miss, but Aiko just shrugged.

"You should hurry it up, they are running out of peanuts." Aiko pointed at the spectators like she was concerned about them.

The peanut gallery's hearts warmed up and some of them vowed to protect this little Young Miss.
