We meet again... Hypocrite!

Hundreds of feets march along cobbled floor, as chatters and laughters created a lively symphony into the night air. Glows from paper lanterns hung on building structures gave the environment a vibrant display of colours. Little stalls owned by elderly women staged in different corners with beckoning calls on looking eyes to purchase the dry and smoked fish they sold.

The large town was a kaleidoscope of beauty.

Xiao Yuer walked along, his pair of silver eyes watched a group of men who surrounded a frail little girl. Making perverse remarks as they touched her. Their behavior depiction how drunk and horny they were that four men decided to molest a single lady. 'Drunk men. Always about women! 'He sneered within himself as he waved his head in displeasure.

Having found the sight irritating, Xiao Yuer rolled his eyes and felt the need to hurridly move further and enjoy more respectable visage of the town. Yet, he could only walk at a slow pace to avoid unnecessaries.

Xiao Yuer looked like a beautiful goddess of the night as he walked above the cobbled road. His complexion and radiating silver hanfu had lots of eyes feast on the youth who was totally unaware of it. He was eye-catching. Temptingly eye-catching that a few men who wanted to approach him had to think twice. Xiao Yuer moved gracefully while his eyes twinkled in curiosity. He walked unhurriedly with both of his hands placed at his back as his cascading strands of silver ponytail bounced at his movement.

Xiao Yuer had just arrived in front of a junction when he heard a rumbling sound that forced him to wince lightly. He groaned and sent a palm to his stomach. Right. He hadn't eaten! He rubbed his palm over his stomach on an act to pacify his hunger till he returns, however it seemed to have grown worser that Xiao Yuer felt his intestine getting churned. Silver boots pressed on the floor while Silver eyes glanced,

"Whoa..."

"Hello, beauty ..."

Xiao Yuer scowled as he quickly sidestepped and avoided the individual who almost bumped into him. Silver eyes narrowed in ferocious intensity as his gaze shifted to the other who grinned stupidly at him then marched towards a group of guys who sat at a distance. Xiao Yuer hissed. Really? He did it intentionally or what?

He saw them laugh as THE GUY pointed at him, and all he could do was to swallow his hanger(hunger+anger). His current body was probably too weak to do anything since the Alchemy of souls drained life force before it gave life. Screw this body! Screw youthful age!

Xiao Yuer seethed but blinked and looked away when he heard someone shouting "Mr stranger! Mr stranger!"

Surprisingly, Xiao Yuer turned just to find a lady in green outfit waving right at him. Brows creased and Xiao Yuer tilted his head slightly. Then when he came to a realization on who it was, he just had to hurry over to the person.

Princess Fei Fei was drowned in sorrow when Long Haoyu instructed her to go back to their base and sleep. She had eaten, but he didn't want to, and decided to eat outside. She tried escorting him to the eatery but he declined her offer with the statement of not wanting to be at fault if anything happened to her. She was just sulking to have her way back home when she spotted Xiao yuer's frame and his silver nature. She suddenly felt... Happy!

"Good evening princess, how may I help you?" Xiao Yuer bowed, just immediately he came over.

"No need for the formalities Mr stranger, I already consider you as my friend." Princess Fei Fei laughed then shrugged at his formality. "Besides, you really are good at insults..." She remarked with a smile, remembering the last time they met which was three days ago.

"Hahahaha... I was just being truthful."

Xiao Yuer smiled as he straightened up. His eyes clouded with boredom then he killed an insect crawling beside him. Cruelly spluttering the it's organs with the floor. Princess Fei Fei admired his frame for a while and suddenly felt jealous. How could a man be this sinfully beautiful? It was unfair! Really unfair!!

"Jiang Xiao Yue..."

"Pardon?" Princess Fei Fei asked as she waltzed out from her thought. Her ethereal green eyes blinked in confusion like a deer caught on lamplight, before Xiao Yuer replied.

"You may refer to me as Jiang Xiao Yue or shortly, Xiao Yuer, and not Mr stranger since we're both acquainted with eachother. " Xiao Yuer sounded as impatient as he spoke. His stomach was on fire and in dire need for something to eat. But he couldn't just rudely do anything. Not yet.

" Oh, yes, right! Pardon me. " Princess Fei Fei laughed for a moment before a smile was left on her lips. She noticed how the young man spoke. As if he needed to get to somewhere important." You sound impatient, are you perhaps busy, or going somewhere?" She asked, trying to hide her disappointment after nodding to three passerbys who greeted her.

"Yes. I came around to find something to eat." Xiao Yuer glanced at the tea house not far from where they were, and princess Fei Fei briefly followed his gaze." What about you and your boring husband, what did you both come for? " His face was impassive as he asked.

Princess Fei Fei flushed. Not again. Does she and Long Haoyu look like couples? She wished so. She subdued a giggle and tried to reply but was interrupted when Xiao yuer's voice came again.

He leaned closer with a grin, "Oh I know! You both finally don't want to be boring couple you are, and have decided to find a hotel room for little actions isn't it? "

Sufficing Blood rushed into cheeks and ears tremendously that they gave shades of red. Princess Fei Fei blushed hard and quickly covered her ears and let out a low squeal audible to Xiao Yuer who sighed and rolled his eyes. 'Blushing lovers... Great! '

He leaned back.

At her squeal two men cladded in red and black hanfu Xiao Yuer was unaware of, approached them, but princess Fei Fei dismissed them saying she was alright.

"He is not my husband, and we are not dating" Princess Fei Fei said after the men had positioned back to a corner not far away. Trying to hide the blush on her cheeks as she dropped her slender hands which were later covered by her green Hanfu. A twinkle flashed through her pupils, startling Xiao Yuer for a moment. Her eyes brightened up, and so did her blushing face.

"Do we look like couples to you? "

Xiao Yuer pressed his lips and sighed pitifully. Really? Why the damn question woman? Can't you tell I'm hungry?

"I... Don't know." Xiao Yuer glanced down and killed another irksome pest crawling towards him. He glanced back up and his silver eyes entranced princess Fei Fei for a moment.

He really has beautiful eyes...

"But I thought you said we looked like cou..."

"I should get going princess as I don't feel quite well now. My stomach feels like they're gonna churn up." Xiao Yuer feigned pain. Contorting his face as he grabbed his stomach through his silver Hanfu. He groaned and that made princess Fei Fei step back a bit. "Do you want me to die here princess? Do you??" He flashed his silver eyes at her and winced.

"Oh... I..."

It happened so sudden that Princess Fei Fei could only press her lips together. Her lashes lowered and she apologized, "I am sorry for holding you Brother Jiang Xiao. You should go eat ok?"

She gently patted his back as he straightened up.

Xiao Yuer, 'Quite a well trained child she is. Hopefully she would certainly get that adamant man I saw her with. '

Xiao Yuer straightened up while his eyes gleamed in moist. "It's ok, I hope we meet again sometime."

"Indeed me too. Now, go eat."

Xiao Yuer bowed one last time before he headed for the beautiful teahouse around there. Princess Fei Fei narrowed her eyes as she watched Xiao yuer's departing frame until he disappeared into the Chalou. She felt something awkward lingering in the air before she called the sect members Long Haoyu authorized under her. They approached and stood beside her, but she was unaware with her gaze fixed on the Chalou.

Something didn't feel right...

Ever since they came here and after they met Brother Jiang Xiao, Long Haoyu had refused to eat anywhere else except here, Despite how not-so-beautiful it was to other ones she'd suggested.

All in all the princess could only breath pitifully before she allowed herself to be escorted by those men.

...

A tender warmth carressed Xiao yuer's skin through his hanfu as he stepped into the Chalou. The air scented of spices and teas and wine also. Xiao Yuer glanced around and recognized that this was the Chalou he ended up in three days ago. However, it seemed more animalistic and barbaric at night.

"Finish it! Finish it! Finish it! Finish it!! Yayyyy!!! Hahahaha!!!! " A group of four well fitted men and a tomboy sat and jeered at a distance, watching one of them drowsily down a full gourd of wine. Their jubilations bounced to the roof of the Chalou just as their member had consumed the last drop of wine, before collapsing on the table with a bang!

He slurred...

"Wow! Brother Kang Yating really did finish the whole drink! Cheers to Brother Kang Yating!" One of them shouted after he was done scrutinizing the gourd Kang Yating drunk with.

Deafening voices rose once more...

"Cheers to brother Kang Yating!!"

Then the tomboy amongst them chipped in, "The greatest drunkard of the entire town of Wuzhen!"

They glanced at her giggle loudly that they couldn't help but join in her crazed laughter.

" Indeed he is the greatest drunkard ever! " Another said after their crazed laughter died out that Xiao Yuer couldn't hold back the sneer on his face.

Ha! Drunkard? This one wasn't as close as how many he'd drank back then. He could finish four gourds of wine and still fight freely with it! Ridiculous!

Xiao Yuer continued his movement with a searching gaze but by then his attracting silver nature had already caught the sight of those men who's gaze lingered allover him. Lewd thoughts brewing within their heads as they took time observing every single feature he had. Including the scars on his Palms!

Xiao Yuer was ignorant. His silver eyes swept around in search for where to sit, until he finally spotted a hidden place for his beauteous frame. The other position was however occupied by a man in an all black outfit who back faced him. Xiao Yuer could see how broad the man's shoulders were through his black Hanfu.

His long black hair in a high ponytail tail, cascading...

He looked predominant as if warding of unwanted pest who would dare try approach where he sat. Almost dangerous, Xiao Yuer could tell!

Nevertheless... Xiao Yuer didn't care... His childish mind brought up a thought of him sitting there the last time, so that would be his permanent sitting position. He strolled casually towards the position. And as he passed the man to sit in the position opposite him, he noticed the man gently lowering a cup of tea from his lips.

He quickly recognized whom the man was, but Xiao Yuer had already sat down.

A curl suddenly appeared on the man's lips as he gently placed his cup on the table. His eyes flashed a strange glint before they fixed on Xiao Yuer.

"We meet again... Hypocrite!"
