Chapter 519: “Can You Draw?”
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The carriage came to a stop in front of a large square . This square was clearly a very popular gathering place within the city, as many other merchants had set up their carriages in the same place .
There was nothing green to lighten up the atmosphere, nor were there any statues . It was one large and flat square, but even so, numerous ghosts were making their way across it .
Some had stopped in front of the other carriages and looked at the goods, while others were rushing through the crowd, not even looking at their surroundings .
While the creatures who were living here were ghosts, they behaved exactly like the beings in the living world . Everyone was intelligent and moving rapidly to solve their own problems .
There were not many ghosts who were standing still and talking amongst themselves . In the living world, you would see everyone being friendly, and willing to help one another, but here, it was truly clear that one could only put their trust in themselves .
Gossip was not something that was very widespread, and those who did enjoy gossiping were generally the higher-ranked ghosts who had already reached a certain level .
Xue Wei and Lan were curious as to what they could find in this regional capital, but they were also realistic . They knew that finding Li Zhiqing would not be easy, and finding her at their first real stop was not highly likely .
But even so, they were not discouraged .
As the carriages came to a stop, the middle-aged ghost began setting up the caravan's stores . Ghosts did not need sleep, and thus the square was full of life at any given time during the day .
The middle-aged ghost had gotten many items from Xue Wei, and while he wanted to keep the majority for himself, there were still some things he could sell to the highest bidder .
However, these things were not going to be placed on display in this square . He was going to personally contact the leaders of the city, and try to get the best price for the items he had acquired .
Even so, it would take time for him to get in touch with these people, so the caravan was likely to stay in the city for a long time .
But this had nothing to do with Xue Wei and Lan . They had already completed the deal with the ghost, and the ghost had also fulfilled his promises . Xue Wei and Lan had arrived at the Regional Capital, and thus they were going to split up .
The female ghost followed Xue Wei and Lan as they departed from the caravan . The middle-aged ghost also came to say goodbye, and they parted on good terms .
Many of the surrounding ghosts were quite confused . Ghosts did not have a good relationship, so why would this caravan leader be so respectful and polite to another?
Even a young female ghost was following behind him as if she was his servant .
And he had a small, beast-like robot on his shoulder . This figure was truly an enigma, and no one knew his origin or background .
When examining for his strength, they also soon found out that it was impossible for them to measure it . Whenever they sent a spiritual probe, their energy would be swallowed up by this figure's inner power, and would not even cause a ripple to let them know about how strong he was .
This made many of the ghosts present apprehensive . Was this a new powerhouse who had come to their city to settle down?
Many were nervous . Not because they did not like powerful experts, but because of the unknown . No one knew what these experts would do .
If he began to harvest the souls within the city, then many souls would be lost, but putting up a fight was impossible .
Fortunately for them, Xue Wei was not a ghost . He had no interest in consuming others to enhance his own strength, and he was only here to search for someone; however, explaining this would be hard .
"Do you know how to draw?" Xue Wei suddenly asked Lan, who was somewhat annoyed . "I do," he answered, but his voice was rather amused . "However, how do you expect me to draw in this shape?"
Xue Wei's lips twitched . He had forgotten that the amazing and undefeatable Lan was suddenly a mere expert trapped in a tiny snake-form .
He had no hands! How could he possibly draw? With his mouth?
Lan and Xue Wei both felt somewhat stupid, but Lan understood Xue Wei's question . If they could spread an image of Li Zhiqing, then it would be easier to locate her .
"Can you draw?" Lan asked Xue Wei, who furrowed his brows . Could he draw? He had no idea .
Sensing the uncertainty, Lan projected an image into Xue Wei's mind . It was a picture of a beautiful and gentle woman . Her eyes were soft and generous, there was no darkness within them, and Xue Wei felt an instant feeling of kinship with this figure .
The three of them, Xue Wei, Lan, and the female ghost, continued moving forward, but they were surprised to find that while there were stores in the city, there were no shops for recreational purposes .
But upon thinking it through, Xue Wei understood why, and he frowned . He was thinking of finding a tea house and sitting down to draw a few images of Li Zhiqing, which he then would distribute and try to locate her, but now it seemed that it would be difficult even to find a place to sit down .
The female ghost was looking at Xue Wei with narrowed eyes . She had not directly heard that he was a living being, but she had understood some things from the way he was acting .
Any ghost would be clear of how a city worked, but he was looking for something she had never even heard of before .
