Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Have You Taken a Fancy to Me?

Lei Nuoyi was lost in thought, and in the meantime, you had casually picked out a simple piece of clothing and put it on.

After Archbishop Doyle’s transformation, you appeared quite slimmer than before; at first glance, you seemed taller as well. At this moment, you resembled a humble commoner with a smug look on your face. Where was the so-called "style" of an Empire Pest?

"Little Xiu, have you really decided to buy this one? Don’t you want to pick a few better ones?" Lei Nuoyi deliberately asked.

"Now that you mention it, maybe I should choose a couple more. I can’t wear the same outfit every day at the Academy."

Saying this, you began to browse again. These words actually provided Lei Nuoyi with some relief—she had been worried that her brother had been rendered foolish by the Fire-winged Demon. However, when you placed two more articles of clothing on the checkout counter, Lei Nuoyi was stunned again because the next two items you chose were hardly different from what you were wearing, with all three pieces totaling no more than one silver.

"Hey, this looks rather unique. Boss, how much for this necklace?" At that moment, you spotted a necklace emitting a faint white glow hanging prominently in the display window.

"Young master has such fine taste. This is the scarce Cloud Iron Necklace; it would make an excellent gift for a dear lover."

"How much?"

"Erm, to tell you the truth, this Cloud Iron Necklace has a flaw. I found it, but its value..."

"Since it’s something found, one silver should be enough."

You turned to look at Lei Nuoyi and realized she was standing there, staring blankly, so you couldn’t help but say, "Sis, what are you zoning out for? Hurry up and pay. I’m broke except for the Imperial Academy badge I have on me."

Strangely, you had been burnt to a crisp, but the badge on your clothes was still as good as new, and the fabric underneath the badge on your chest remained intact. Upon seeing this, you had even comprehensively thought about placing the badge over your crotch to protect a certain important part, to prevent more despicable people from getting a successful sneak attack.

Lei Nuoyi didn’t pay. Instead, she gripped your shoulders tightly and said earnestly, "Little Xiu, you..."

"Sis, why are you looking at me with those eyes... Could it be you’ve fallen for me? No way, Sis, I don’t want to be caged up like a piggy—ouch!" Your head received a fierce knock from Lei Nuoyi. "Sis, why did you hit me?"

"I’m telling you to stop talking nonsense." Lei Nuoyi gave you a shut-up look. She put down the silver on the checkout counter and pulled you out of the store.

"The esteemed young lady, the Cloud Iron Necklace..." The shopkeeper hurriedly followed out.

"What necklace?" Lei Nuoyi asked, as she had been preoccupied and thus unaware that you had purchased a Cloud Iron Necklace.

"Oh, right, Sis, this is for you." You nonchalantly placed the necklace emitting a faint white glow into Lei Nuoyi’s hand.

"Hmm?"

"Just consider it a gift for my dear sis. How can a beauty like her not wear any jewelry around her neck? Sigh, where’s the sense in that?" You shake your head with an air of regret that is quite convincing.

"Looking for a beating?" Lei Nuoyi chuckles as she knocks on your head, then tosses a silver ingot to the shopkeeper and pulls you out of the boutique without looking back. After leaving the clothing store, Lei Nuoyi changes her mind. She thinks your positive change is a good thing and maybe you have actually matured, so she decides to bury her doubts deep in her heart and stops asking further.

"Xiu, you need to be more cautious around Luo Fei’er from now on. Avoid her whenever possible," Lei Nuoyi reminds you along the way; she certainly doesn’t want her little brother to encounter the same trouble as today.

"Psh, if I could have avoided that woman, I would have done so a long time ago. Seeing her is no different from seeing a ghost." While speaking, you glance unintentionally to the side, then let out a helpless, utterly dejected sigh, saying, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Hey, who’s this Cao Cao anyway?"

While you’re pondering over who "Cao Cao" might be, Luo Fei’er approaches with her head down. Her eyes are somewhat red as if she’s been crying. But the moment she sees you, the once cloudy sky in her mind clears, turning into a vast expanse of blues as if you, in this moment, have transformed into a handsome and strong Tough Man.

However, Luo Fei’er hides her feelings well. She quickly shifts from her somber demeanor, her smile blooming brightly like flowers on her beautiful face: "Lei Xiu, you did quite well today, winning several thousand gold coins for this young lady. Here, this is a reward for you."

Before Luo Fei’er can get close to you, Lei Nuoyi’s sharp presence forcefully pushes her several steps back.

At this moment, Lin immediately stands in front of Luo Fei’er. He knows that a master like Lei Nuoyi could end his life in an instant, but it is his duty to always shield Luo Fei’er from any danger.

"Luo Fei’er, don’t be too excessive," Lei Nuoyi’s voice is icy cold, clearly indicating that she’s angered.

"General, I believe what I’ve done isn’t excessive at all. I did ask for his consent beforehand, and he even signed the Life and Death Contract. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s his own lack of ability, trying to punch above his weight," Luo Fei’er says insincerely.

"Shut up!" Lei Nuoyi’s glare intensifies as a gust of icy wind sweeps by, compelling Lin to retreat several steps with Luo Fei’er, "I don’t care what he did wrong before, but today he has already made amends for his past wrongdoings. There should be no more grievances between you and him! If you continue to harass him over this matter, I will definitely..."

"Sis, let me handle this," you step forward in front of Lei Nuoyi with a smile that’s hard to read, "Hey, how much are you going to pay me?"

"Tw—twenty thousand gold coins." Luo Fei’er wanted to say two thousand initially, but seeing Lei Nuoyi’s murderous look, she quickly corrected to twenty thousand.

"If it’s twenty thousand, I’m afraid that little bag of broken silver you have there won’t cover it," you reply with a cold laugh.

"This is just a tip for you. I’ll have the gold sent over later."

"Hmm, that’s more like it."

You take the bag from Luo Fei’er’s hand and upon inspection, find it to be filled with perfectly good silver ingots.

Then, with a greasy grin that disgusts Luo Fei’er, you say, "Luo Fei’er, I actually have quite an interest in your body. Next time, I’ll make sure to drug your idiot Knight first, then, heh heh, tie you up and take you to a deserted place, oh ho ho."

Not just Luo Fei’er, but even Lei Nuoyi behind you gets goosebumps upon hearing your laughter. Your talent for playing the villain is truly innate, you’re just born to be a scoundrel!
