Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Do You Know Who I Am?!

Translator: 549690339

When Jiang Li came to the Red Dust Fairy, he found her thoroughly wrapped in clothing. There was not a single patch of her body exposed, even her hands were covered with black silk gloves, and her beautiful eyes, reminiscent of serene water, were obscured by her hat’s black veil.

It was clear to Jiang Li that all these garments were refined by the Fairy using her immortal power, greatly reducing her noticeable presence and making her undetectable by divine senses.

That being said, Jiang Li’s divine senses were extraordinarily powerful, and exempt from this effect.

If anyone other than the Red Dust Fairy were to wear this attire, they would be completely overlooked, even if they were shouting on the streets, no one would pay attention to them.

Jiang Li’s first thought was that this outfit would be perfect for stealth killings.

Yet, even wrapped in such clothing the Red Dust Fairy still drew attention. Even if people didn’t notice her beauty and shape, they would be captivated by the grace of her walk and the melodious sound of her voice.

Even so, it was significantly less disruptive than if she revealed her identity outright.

With her current look, at most, she could be considered a striking beauty.

Observing the preparations the Red Dust Fairy had made for her departure,

Jiang Li felt a bit relieved. If she appeared in the city without any disguise, he would have a difficult time managing the situation.

“This puppet isn’t worth this much,” the Red Dust Fairy was fervently bargaining with a vendor over the price, trying to persuade him logically, but clearly the other party had no intention of being reasonable.

On the stall were several adorable wooden dolls of exquisite craftsmanship, animated by gears within. By infusing a bit of spiritual energy, they could move for a long while. The Red Dust Fairy was eyeing a little monkey doll holding a peach above its head. However, she only had a small amount of spirit stones left. If she bought the doll, she wouldn’t have any left.

Indeed, the puppet was overpriced, but the vendor was shrewd. He instantly noticed the woman’s infatuation with the doll and presumed she would buy it regardless of the high price.

Moreover, the beautiful lady’s voice was so melodious that he found himself indulging in the bargaining process. If all else failed, he reasoned, he could just make another one.

The Red Dust Fairy thought the same. However, she recalled her junior’s admonition not to waste her immortal power. She could justify using her power to refine her clothes for her journey, but she could hardly justify creating a doll with it. She could already imagine the nagging she would have to endure.

She didn’t just sneak out for fun. Her goal was to prove to everyone that she was independent and could go outside.

“One low-grade spirit stone,” Jiang Li threw the vendor the money.

Seeing the intimidating smile on Jiang Li’s face, the vendor quickly handed over the monkey doll to Jiang Li, fearing trouble if encountered later on a dark road.

Seeing the puppet she wanted to buy for ten low-grade spirit stones was bought by Jiang Li at one-tenth of the price, the Red Dust Fairy considered Jiang Li to be incredibly skilled.

“Fairy, had enough fun?”

Meeting Jiang Li’s gaze, the Red Dust Fairy mustered courage to respond, “No, not yet.”

“Do you have any spirit stones left?”

“No, not any.”

“Without any spirit stones, what plan do you have in mind?”

“My singing is lovely, I can earn spirit stones by singing,” answered the Red Dust Fairy, obviously after much thought, planning to make the most of her talent.

Jiang Li massaged his forehead. Thankfully, he had arrived early. If not, he would have witnessed a fairy reduced to singing on the streets.

If word were to get out about this, the immortal elders might blame him, and then he would have to give them a beating.

“Could you not take me back?” the Red Dust Fairy pleaded. Even through the black veil, Jiang Li could sense the pitiful look in the Red Dust Fairy’s eyes.

Despite her infinite allure, the Red Dust Fairy was fundamentally a spirit born from a fairy corpse with no previous memories. Like a child, she spent most of her time in the last three years sleeping and had not undergone much psychological growth.

The Pure Heart Sage might claim to be the Red Dust Fairy’s descendant, but in Jiang Li’s eyes, the Red Dust Fairy might see the Pure Heart Sage as her elder instead.

Otherwise, a group of juniors wouldn’t be able to persuade their ancestor to reason.

Since the Red Dust Fairy considered her rank to be low, she was well-behaved.

Jiang Li sighed internally. He understood that keeping the Red Dust Fairy in the Red Dust Pureland was not a long-term solution. Although he urged her to stay put for her safety, it was essentially a gentle form of imprisonment.

He could not possibly expect the Red Dust Fairy to remain in the Pureland forever. This problem must be solved sooner or later.

So by taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Li decided to let the Red Dust Fairy go out and see the world, assessing whether any problems would arise from this.

If he kept the Red Dust Fairy locked in Pureland, it was uncertain what drastic steps she might potentially take in anger. Even if she decided to fly around the nine provinces out of rage, it could stir up serious trouble.

“Alright. Let’s spend a few more days playing,” Jiang Li suggested, causing the Red Dust Fairy to jump with delight.

Undeniably, the Fairy was much more at ease under the protection of the current Human Emperor, and Jiang Li, being considerate, would tell her what she could do and what she shouldn’t.

For instance, she could go to the tea houses but not drink tea, enjoy storytelling but avoid pleasure houses, browse through shops and negotiate prices.

When prices were non-negotiable, the Red Dust Fairy would angrily ask Jiang Li for spirit stones, buy the entire store, and become her own boss, taking whatever she fancied.

Having strolled down a street, the Red Dust Fairy had already become a mini tycoon, owning several shops.

Afterwards, Jiang Li sold off the shops.

“Feeling hungry?” Jiang Li asked, noticing that the Red Dust Fairy kept glancing towards eateries and snack stalls.

Jiang Li understood the situation. While the Red Dust Fairy had attained the state of fasting from food, eating meant more than just filling one’s belly. He too, often bought sugared hawthorns to enjoy.

Previously, Jiang Li didn’t allow the Red Dust Fairy to drink tea out of fear that her lower face might be exposed, leading to unnecessary troubles. But if she wanted to eat, it was not impossible.

Jiang Li booked a premium room at the inn for the Fairy and ordered a wide array of fine dishes from the best restaurant. He also bought many snacks for her to enjoy in the room.

He noticed some people arguing in the inn’s lobby.

“What? There are no premium rooms available? Are you suggesting that my young master should stay in common rooms? Do you know who my young master is?” Someone was boasting arrogantly while grabbing the innkeeper’s collar.

An indignant male patron shouted, “Is your young master’s skin made of top-grade spirit stones, or is his meat made of them?”

An elegant young woman chimed in, “Yeah, exactly, did your young master sprout from a top-grade spirit stone?”

The man lost face and retorted, “If you’re brave, reveal your backgrounds!” “A commander from the Imperial Palace, Zhang Konghu.” “A wandering member of the Body-incorporating Sect, Li Nian’er.”

The man sneered dismissively, “Do you know who I am?!”

Zhang Konghu and Li Nian’er shook their heads simultaneously, “No idea.”

They both wondered if there was any force stronger than the Imperial Palace or the Body-incorporating Sect.

With that, the man quickly made his exit.

Thankfully, they didn’t know who I was, he thought..
