Chapter 155
In the guest room, Qin Zhao said to Qi Yan Su Luo, "I just saw a fabric shop across the street. You stay in the room, I'm going to buy some local clothes."
Qin Zhao kissed her on the cheek, "I'll be back soon."
Qi Yan Su Luo was used to Qin Zhao's kisses. She said, "Be careful."
Qin Zhao went out of the room and downstairs.
The shop errand boy's gaze lingered on her.
Across the street, Qin Zhao walked into the fabric shop.
Seeing a beautiful girl come in, the owner hurriedly greeted, "Miss, you come to buy clothes. See if you like any style."
Qin Zhao pointed at two sets of grey men’s clothes, “Just these two.”
The owner said, "It's too wasteful for a girl with such a good figure to wear men's clothing."
Qin Zhao glared at her, "None of your business what I wear."
The owner smiled apologetically, “Sorry for the offense. I’ll wrap them up for you.”
The owner wrapped up the clothes with coarse fabric scraps and handed them to Qin Zhao, “Forty-five coins in total.”
Qin Zhao gave her a broken silver coin.
The owner took it, gave Qin Zhao the change, then called her back, “Miss, wait!”
She looked back, “What?”
The owner said in a low voice, “Seeing you bought clothes from me, let me warn you, don't stay at the shop across.
A girl like you is like a little fat lamb to them.”
Qin Zhao simply said, “Thanks.”
Then she returned to the inn.
As for what the owner said, Qin Zhao didn't take it to heart. After all, it was hard to say who would slaughter whom.
Back in the room, Qin Zhao and Qi Yan Su Luo changed into their local clothes and put on headscarves to block the sand. They looked quite like locals.
Qin Zhao turned around in front of Qi Yan Su Luo and asked, "How do I look in these clothes?"
Qi Yan Su Luo said, "You look good in anything, but these clothes are too plain. Just a few more looks and it gets boring."
"Then just look at my face."
As they chatted, the shop errand boy's voice came from outside, "Esteemed guests, the owner has brought your lunch."
"Come in."
The other men laughed silly and squeezed in.
Seeing Qin Zhao's predicament, the fat man looked at her gloatingly, dropping his previously cowering attitude. He arrogantly stood aside to make way for them.
Seeing Qin Zhao and Qi Yan Su Luo, the five men of different shapes, reeking of foul smells, instantly sobered up. Drool almost flowed from their mouths!
The big bearded man exclaimed, "Never seen such beautiful women in my life!
Seeing two at once, I can die with no regrets!"
Qin Zhao suddenly smashed a plate at his head. The big bearded man was instantly smashed and bled profusely.
Qin Zhao said indifferently, "Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Seeing their big brother’s misery, the remaining four charged at Qin Zhao in anger!
Qin Zhao stood up and said to Qi Yan Su Luo, "Stand farther away in case you get hurt."
Qi Yan Su Luo backed away a few steps accordingly.
Qin Zhao was surrounded by the four men, at ease holding her ground against them.
Seeing Qin Zhao’s exceptional martial skill, the fat man's expression changed dramatically!
He then thought of breaking through from Qi Yan Su Luo, who looked weak.
He pushed the shop errand boy, "Go grab that woman!"
The shop errand boy nodded, circled around Qin Zhao and others, and came up to Qi Yan Su Luo, "Miss, I don't want to hurt you. Be smart and come with me..."
Before he finished, Qi Yan Su Luo kicked him in the face. The shop errand boy bled instantly from his nose and fell to the ground wailing!
Seeing this, Qin Zhao felt relieved.
She knew Qi Yan Su Luo had some martial power. Though not high, it was enough against a common shop errand boy.
Qin Zhao said to the four men, "If you want to live, get lost quickly!"
She didn't want to dirty the room and so didn't use her sword.
But the men refused to listen, shouting, "Less nonsense, we must avenge big brother and torment you arrogant woman properly!"
Qin Zhao's face darkened. She drew out her Zhan Jin sword and casually lopped off a man's head!
As blood gushed out, the fat man shrieked and his legs turned soft, falling to the ground!
The three survivors were drenched in blood. They halted and looked at Qin Zhao in horror!
Qin Zhao's sword pointed at the man opposite her. He instantly knelt down shouting, "Heroine, spare us. We were wrong. We won't provoke you again!"
But his pale plea didn't sway Qin Zhao's killing intent one bit. She thrusted out her sword, piercing through the man's heart!
