Touring Qianyu Kingdom's Capital

Zhu Xiao Wan was reading a medical book when Ning Rou Li and Ning Hai Heng came and asked her to go out with them.

Ning Rou Li was two years older than her. She looked cute and lovely but people were still able to know that she was older than her. Ning Hai Heng was one year older than her, he eats a lot but was not fat and was quite good-looking. His face always looks slothful no matter what he was doing.

She planned to explore the capital when it was nighttime. But since they've asked, there was no need for her to sneak out of the manor at night like a thief.

However, "My eyes and hair..."

Ning Rou Li regarded her appearance with a laugh, "It'll be fine!" Ning Hai Heng nodded in agreement.

Of course, in a fantasy world like this, purpled-eyes and silvered-hair wouldn't be so strange or scary to the extreme. Changing her clothes to a simple but more appropriate light purple dress. A white one would make her look like some kind of celestial being. Zhu Xiao Wan exited her room, "Ok, let's go."

Ning Rou Li showed her around while she was being stared at my many, Ning Hai Heng followed while eating dumplings and steamed buns. Finished the foods in his hands, he saw a gambling house.

"I want to go play some gambles," he said.

Ning Rou Li looked at the gambling house and asked Zhu Xiao Wan, "Do you know how to play?"

Zhu Xiao Wan observed the place. A casino, she went to places like casino many times before, "A little but not too bad."

"Then we'll go together!" Ning Rou Li said while having a silly smile on her face.

-----

"Three, five, six, you lost! Haha!"

"Again! I'll win this time!"

Laughter filled the casino with a few curses. Ning Hai Heng went off to play dice games, as for Ning Rou Li and Zhu Xiao Wan, they were sitting at the poker table.

"Fold!" Ning Rou Li had no luck in poker today, she did not even have a single win yet.

Seeing her so frustrated, Zhu Xiao Wan glanced at the other players and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. It seemed that Ning Rou Li had been tricked. "I'll play for her," she said.

-----

"Xiao Wan, are you sure you know how to play only just a little?" Ning Hai Heng was holding foods in his hands again.

Ning Rou Li's eyes sparkled brightly, "Yeah! You won so much money!"

Zhu Xiao Wan just smiled. Although her body was of a thirteen-year-old, she wasn't. How Ning Rou Li acted made her felt awkward. To strangers, Ning Rou Li was the elder sister while she felt like she was the elder one instead.

Not staring intensely at Zhu Xiao Wan anymore, she said, "Let's go to that shop before we'll eat lunch!"

Ning Hai Heng's eyes shone when foods were mentioned. He followed the two and entered the shop.

"Xiao Wan, pick something, I'll buy it for you!" Seeing that Zhu Xiao Wan was about to refuse, Ning Rou Li smiled, "I know you don't lack money, but this will be my gift to you."

Acting a little hesitated, "Thank you," she said.

They separated to find themselves some items. There were two old bookshelves deep inside the shop, Zhu Xiao Wan asked the shopkeeper, "Those books, are you selling them?"

"Those old books are for sales," the shopkeeper said.

Looking through the shelves, there are some medical books, others are useless to her. She took out a book about medicines and elixirs, she noticed a book that had no title on the cover but just a drawing of a mask.

Zhu Xiao Wan skimmed through the mask book and was surprised. 'Countenance Altering' was the name of the book. Ning Rou Li and Ning Hai Heng didn't need anything and didn't find anything they like either, hence, they are waiting for her. Putting the Countenance Altering book back to the shelf, she took the medicines and elixirs book called 'Concoctions' with her.
