162: Chapter 162: The Black Cat's Blessing (Part 3)

What was the reason?

It was because Blue Shadow had been left here by Tai You to observe Qian Ye.

After all, they didn't know her background, so they had no choice but to follow her and figure out her purpose.

Blue Shadow glanced at the sky; he should get some rest too.

Having been in the dungeon for so long, he naturally knew that some things only appeared late at night.

Night fell, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds. Only a few scattered stars twinkled in the sky, casting a faint light over the silent town.

Suddenly, the sound of a cat meowing pierced the silence.

Qian Ye opened her eyes. There wasn't a hint of sleepiness in them, only absolute clarity. As the meowing grew closer, she turned her head to look at the window.

At some point, a cat had appeared there silently, its shadow cast against the window.

The meowing continued. Qian Ye sat up and sighed, "Time really flies."

"Hmm, it's time to get down to business."

When she stood up and looked at the window again, there was nothing there, as if everything just now had been an illusion.

Qian Ye stood up, and when she appeared again, her clothes had changed once more.

It was still a red and black color scheme.

The red was like a blazing flame, passionate and uninhibited, while the black was like the depth of the night, profound and reserved. The two intertwined, like a magnificent movement played on the red and black keys of a piano.

The fluffy skirt was like blooming petals, with layers of ruffles, pleats, and lace intertwined.

Holding a hong ling umbrella, she looked both elegant and playful.

Opening the door, Qian Ye heard a cat meow. A black shadow flashed by and quickly darted into the darkness.

Seeing this, the corners of Qian Ye's mouth curled up. It wanted to lure her over.

Hmph, she had more important things to do right now.

Thinking this, Qian Ye walked in the opposite direction of the black shadow.

The town at night was not as lifeless as it was during the day; there were faint lights along the entire street.

There were even people open for business.

Qian Ye stepped in her small leather shoes, the pitter-patter sound echoing through the street. Her appearance instantly attracted the attention of the people on both sides of the street.

One by one, they put down what they were doing and stared at Qian Ye in the center of the street. As she took each step, their gazes followed her.

Looking at Qian Ye, a flash of greed appeared deep in their eyes.

Qian Ye seemed to feel nothing. Holding a small black flower pot in her arms, she walked toward those shops with elegant steps.

The flower pot had golden patterns on it, and the soil inside was still moist.

"Little girl, why are you all by yourself so late at night?"

An Old Woman with a hunched back looked at Qian Ye, who had appeared in front of her stall, and smiled kindly.

"Hmm, I'm hungry."

The implication was that she was hungry, so she had come out.

"Hahaha, it just so happens that I've made some snacks. Why don't you have a taste, little girl?"

"But, but I don't have any money..."

Qian Ye looked at her aggrievedly.

"You must be new here, little girl."

"Look over there..."

Qian Ye looked in the direction she pointed. At another stall, some people had already sat down.

They were choosing food from what was in front of them, and some were already gorging themselves.

She only saw them eating without paying for anything.

The Old Woman saw the confused look in Qian Ye's eyes.

She explained, "Here, thanks to the blessing of Curtain Shadow, we have the prosperous life we have today."

"So, we are also doing good deeds to accumulate blessings for Curtain Shadow."

"This food is all free, provided for these visiting Guests to enjoy."

Only then did Qian Ye "suddenly realize."

"Wow, that's amazing."

A red light flashed in the depths of Qian Ye's eyes. This food looked like ordinary food, and she didn't know what they were actually up to.

"Wow, Big—cough, cough—Ye, Ye Ye, you're here~"

Tai You was curiously staring at his surroundings when he spotted Qian Ye and his eyes lit up.

In his excitement, he was about to call her "Big Boss," but when he met Qian Ye's gaze, he suddenly remembered that she had told them to call her by her name.

Although he didn't know why.
