#566 - Chapter 566 Buying a Straw Hat on the Black Market

Now is a chaotic time. Although Lianyun Continent hasn't been affected, it's still best to be careful when traveling.

Especially since we're here for revenge.

They have no idea about the strength of that so-called Fa, so they can't act rashly.

Although their master is still in the Qi Training stage, who knows what kind of traps she'll set.

Therefore, buying straw hats is just a pretense; the real purpose is to gather information.

"Xiaobai, dirty your face."

Lin Yaoyao's positioning for this group is a镖队 (biāoduì: armed escort) traveling abroad.

She looked around just now and saw that Mu Qianqian, Xiaoqing, and the others were all ready, except for the straw hats.

Ye Qingjun and Ye Hongxue are still young, so straw hats or anything else don't matter.

Ji Changsheng, Wang Xuan, and the other men are fine.

Xiaobai's face is too fair and delicate, unlike that of a normal child.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately became anxious: "Why do I have to dirty my face, Senior Sister?"

"Why aren't Xiaoqing and the others doing it?"

Xiaobai was indignant. No matter what, he was once a Demon Emperor.

An existence that countless people feared.

Now he's fallen, being bullied by a little girl.

Just wait, when he recovers, he'll make her serve him while he bathes.

After being beaten so many times, Xiaobai has also realized: dying is easy, but living is worse than death.

Lin Yaoyao was reminded by Xiaobai, and she turned her head to carefully examine everyone's faces, saying: "They are indeed too fair and delicate."

"Xiaoqing, Mu Qianqian, everyone, dirty your faces."

Hearing this, everyone glared at Xiaobai unhappily before slowly smearing their faces into a cat-like mess.

Seeing this, Lin Yaoyao said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go."

Xiaobai wanted to remind Lin Yaoyao that she hadn't dirtied her face, but when he was about to speak, he instantly chickened out.

Forget it, being quick-tongued for a moment will only hurt himself.

The group followed Lin Yaoyao, walking past the prosperous shops along the street.

Each of them sighed with emotion: It's still good to be in the city; Master's Xiaoyao Peak has nothing.

Before, there was still a place to live, and at least the spiritual energy was abundant.

Now, there are only a few walls and a few pieces of land left.

Master is truly miserable.

To have fallen to Master's current state, no one else has.

The old woman in the clothing store saw them and thought Lin Yaoyao and the others were lost.

So she stepped forward and said: "Girl, are you looking for something?"

"Girl?!!"

Lin Yaoyao was shocked upon hearing this: Wasn't she dressed as a man? How could a mortal see through her at a glance?

Everyone was a little gleeful upon hearing this.

Heh, you only let us smear our faces, but you didn't smear yours.

See, you've been exposed, haven't you?

"Um, we're not looking for anything. We want to buy a few straw hats, but we don't know where they're sold," Lin Yaoyao said speechlessly, suppressing the urge to beat someone.

Lin Yaoyao sized up the old woman, not letting her guard down.

"Oh, straw hats? We don't have them here. Maybe at night, the black market has them."

The old woman looked at Lin Yaoyao and the group, recognizing that these people's identities were not simple.

Her shop was also a spy shop for the Continent Lord Yun, specializing in gathering all kinds of information.

What if these people were transformed from people from another world? Wouldn't their Lianyun Continent suffer?

"What? You have to go to the black market to buy a few straw hats?" Lin Yaoyao was shocked.

Xiaobai had already gripped his halberd, just waiting for Lin Yaoyao to shout, and he would let Erha rush out.

"Yes, girl, don't waste your efforts. Go check out the black market."

During this back-and-forth conversation, the old woman had already determined that Lin Yaoyao and the others had a problem.

Immediately, she didn't plan to say more, and she supported herself with her cane and went inside.

"Why is this old woman like this?"

Ye Hongxue stuffed her little hands and muttered with dissatisfaction.

"Let's go. If they don't want to say, what can we do to them?"

Lin Yaoyao shook her head and walked ahead, seeing a tavern ahead with a banner waving in the distance.

The banner had four words written on it in a very scrawled manner: "Purple Sky Tavern."

It was a little after noon, and the tavern was surrounded by a circle of bamboo, making it look very quiet.

Since ancient times, taverns and teahouses have always been good places to gather information.

Now they had been wandering in the scorching sun for most of the day, so it would be good to go in and sit down and inquire about some news.

Lin Yaoyao made up her mind and said to the others: "Xiaobai and Xiaoqing and I will go ahead. We'll meet at the tavern in front. You guys walk slowly."

Such a large group of them walking together would be too conspicuous. Splitting into two groups would be just right.

Everyone instantly understood and nodded.

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing sped up their pace upon hearing this.

Purple Sky Tavern was the tavern that Fa had once visited. Recently, because people outside were panicking, business had been bleak.

At this time, the waiter was sitting at the door, dozing off.

The shopkeeper was holding a duster and chasing mosquitoes in the shop.

"Excuse me, do you have any food here?"

Xiaoqing walked to the door, was glared at by Lin Yaoyao, and instantly reacted, asking.

Unfortunately, the waiter was asleep, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, not answering for a long time.

Xiaoqing asked several times but no one paid attention to her, and she immediately became anxious, shouting: "Is anyone there?"

The sudden shout made the shopkeeper, who was swatting mosquitoes, accidentally hit himself on the head with the duster.

"Who, who's there?"

The shopkeeper came out very impatiently.

"Please, esteemed guests, come inside quickly." The shopkeeper was indeed used to doing business. As soon as he came out and saw them, he understood the situation and quickly changed his expression.

"Shopkeeper, I wasn't slacking off."

The waiter was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard the shopkeeper's voice and woke up from his dream.

He looked up and saw Lin Yaoyao's captivating face, and a large string of saliva flowed out.

"What a handsome young man..."

Lin Yaoyao suppressed the urge to chop someone and walked inside, saying: "First, bring five jugs of good tea. We have more people coming later. Do you have a private room? Prepare one for us."

"As for this waiter, if he makes us unhappy, you understand..."

Lin Yaoyao flicked her finger, and instantly a small knife pierced through the table and bounced up, shattering the stone table from bottom to top.

The shopkeeper looked on, wanting to cry but having no tears. Before, a weirdo had smashed a table.

He had exhausted his words to get the housekeeper to provide a Phoebe zhennan stone table, and now it was broken.

But he couldn't express his suffering. Who told his waiter to offend the guests first?

The shopkeeper glared at the waiter, already thinking about how to beat the waiter's butt off.

"Huh? Any objections?"

Lin Yaoyao saw that the shopkeeper hadn't responded for a long time, and she asked doubtfully, slightly using her pressure.

"This humble one wouldn't dare, this humble one understands. The private room is on the second floor. This humble one will take you up now."

The shopkeeper glared at the waiter and turned to walk ahead.
