Chapter 83 - 83. Announcement
"Don't mind them, The Werewolf race is indeed sometimes underestimated wherever they go. They are considered the weakest race after humans," Xue Ning explained to Fu Xie Lan.
"Is that so?" asked Fu Xie Lan to which Xue Ning nodded.
When compared to the treatment of the witch race and the werewolf race, anyone could see a very clear difference between the two. Didn't Fu Xie Lan also return some clothes that she didn't buy because she didn't have enough mana stones? Then the same thing also seems to be experienced by the brown-robed people. But the treatment of the two races is very different. Is it because wizards are the strongest race after Demons?
Those brown-robed people were not far from where Fu Xie Lan was. They numbered five people. One of the men glanced in the direction the girl was in, only for a split second.
"Miss, Wait." Luo Xie ran after Fu Xie Lan and company who were already outside the shop.
"Huh?" Xue Ning turned around. So are the others.
"You are forgetting your dress, Miss. I've packed it well," said Luo Xie, immediately handing Fu Xie Lan a box that contained her dress.
"Throw it away," Fu Xie Lan replied, not even touching the box.
"Huh?" Luo Xie was confused and didn't know how to react.
"Throw it away or it's up to you," said Fu Xie Lan, then left Luo Xie.
The four people again walked through the crowd.
"Emm Xie Lan," Xue Ning called out in a whisper. But her voice can still be heard by that girl
"Hmm?" Fu Xie Lan turned her head for a moment without stopping her steps.
"Th-that, that dress. Can it be for me??" Xue Ning said in a very small tone, she seemed a little embarrassed.
Xue Ning, who lives in Parqus Village without parents, only has a few clothes, the nomadic life also makes her not have a lot of things to carry, only a few clothes for her to change, and everything is very shabby, some are thin even torn. She doesn't have any mana stones to buy new ones, even if she does, maybe she'll use them to buy the herbs Mr. Ruo wants.
Fu Xie Lan's steps stopped, turned back, and looked at Xue Ning. She just realized that the original color of the girl's clothes had faded a little. The identification cloak did not cover all the clothes he was wearing, moreover, the length of the robe only reached her waist. Seen some threads that seem to be dangling and detached.
"You want it?" asked Fu Xie Lan to confirm.
Xue Ning just nodded.
"Okay, the dress is yours."
"Is it true?" Xue Ning said with an expression that looked very happy.
Fu Xie Lan nodded in approval.
"Then, I will return to the shop," Xue Ning said back.
"It is okay, right? I will follow as soon as possible. Ah yes, if you can't wait for me, we can meet again at Noelle a few moments later. That place is also very close from here," Xue Ning added at length and then explained which direction Fu Xie Lan had to take to reach Noelle.
The expression on Xue Ning's face couldn't hide the slightest joy in her, and it made Fu Xie Lan smile slightly.
"Alright, alright. Go quickly," said Fu Xie Lan, and after that Xue Ning immediately left them.
Now only the three of them remained. Fu Xie Lan, Wan Lie, and Gu Yi.
Suddenly, a crowd of people entered Fu Xie Lan's view, it seemed that there was something very interesting there.
The girl drew closer, slightly parting the crowd so that she could see what had happened.
Suddenly a hand wrapped around her from the side, seemingly protecting her from the friction of the people. It was Gu Yi's hand, the man then took a slight step forward, in front of Fu Xie Lan, and then turned to face the little girl. He then guided Fu Xie Lan towards the center of the crowd by walking backward.
At this time, the girl was already blushing behind her mask, her heart racing again. She didn't know what to do at the moment.
It seemed, there were times when he was very protective of her, but at other times, he was sometimes a man she had to watch out for.
She doesn't know, Fu Xie Lan just felt that way.
Wan Lie who saw his father's treatment of Xie Lan felt very happy. He became very impatient to tell the two of them his identity.
Will he also get sweet treatment from his father and mother? Without him knowing. A smile plastered on the corners of his lips behind the mask.
Wan Lie who had a tall stature followed closely behind, splitting the crowd of people. But when they were so close to the center of the crowd, Wan Lie's breath caught. What caught everyone's attention was a large board.
Not an ordinary board, but more like a bulletin board. The small pieces of paper stuck to the board were removed by several people who had the same clothes as the gatekeepers, then replaced with very large pieces of paper.
Without them even replacing it with a bigger piece of paper, Wan Lie already knew the contents of the announcement. The painting of his mother's face that previously looked small is now displayed clearly and is very large. The same painting that Xue Ning had brought before.
Wan Lie wanted to restrain his mother but it was too late, his parents were already in the crowd. Right behind the guards.
Meanwhile, Fu Xie Lan was unable to see what was at the center of the crowd, as Gu Yi's burly body was blocking her view.
After feeling that only space was left behind him, Gu Yi released his grip on Fu Xie Lan's arm then turned around.
Now nothing was blocking Fu Xie Lan's view.
The girl was stunned, she saw some people who she suspected as guards put up a painting of a girl's face which was none other than her face.
Xue Ning did inform her beforehand that her face painting had been scattered within Kanca City's walls, but for some reason, she had forgotten about it for a while, maybe because before this, her focus was shifted to the clothes in the shop she visited earlier.
"Isn't that the same?"
"Different, just look at the size it's bigger than the previous one."
The voices of people from the crowd greeted the senses of Fu Xie Lan who was staring intently at the bulletin board.
"I thought, earlier there would be a new announcement, it turned out to be the same, my time is wasted."
"From the beginning, a Fairy Half-Human has always harmed a lot of people. Look, I left my merchandise just to see an announcement that turned out to be the same."
The grumble reached the ears of the two men who had been clenching their fists since a few minutes ago. If Fu Xie Lan wasn't with them now, perhaps the place would have been razed to the ground.
"Look over there!"
"Aren't the eyes and eyebrows so similar to the ones in the face painting in the announcement?" shouted one of the men who was also standing in the crowd. One of his hands pointed at Fu Xie Lan who was wearing a mask.
