Chapter 990: Chapter 303: Silver-Haired Doll! Spiritual Painting Avatar!

"Hey handsome, want to come in and have some fun?"

"I’m a woman."

"Want some tea, young man?"

"I drink alcohol."

"Are you tired, friend?"

"I just popped an elixir."

"Need to fix your hair, friend? Our shop has a manager, a professional, currently choosing hairstyles for free, spots are limited, first come first served."

"No need, it’s a wig."

Yuchi took off his hair, revealing a shiny bald head, leaving as the person was left speechless.

After getting off, he walked all the way and was stopped by various random passersby.

These passersby were clearly dubious characters, treating Yuchi as a juicy target amidst their urban playground, asking randomly, hoping for a score, and then they could easily fleece him; a classic tourist trap.

Fortunately, he had seen this kind of scam countless times in past lives. Entering any unknown shop would lead to a spending spree.

If it was just spending money, that was tolerable. Courtesans also cost a lot, but that money is spent happily because they are professional, doing their job, their service impeccable, no complaints; visiting courtesans never ended badly.

But being conned out of money is quite disgusting.

Even if the money lost isn’t much, it still feels bad, thinking about it ten years later would still make you curse them as real scoundrels.

"I remember it clearly, as a kid in my past life, going to the city with playmates, kids around ten, passing a salon, and getting pulled in by two touts, saying the same stuff, claiming a big city manager, offering free hairstyle designs."

"Initially, we resisted, but couldn’t hold back against young guys pulling us in, ending with a terrible hairstyle supposedly free, but then locked into expensive shady packages, with hair gel costing a fortune, resulting in a messed-up head like a chicken coop, spending a lot."

"Damn it, just thinking about it makes me mad."

So not everything is great in state capitals, there are always dubious folks trying to con people into making money, unbeknownst that such money is slippery, quick to come and go, ending up with "See you in court," getting caught by the Defense Department and imprisoned, very pointlessly.

However, there are still plenty of beauties in state capitals.

State capital beauties favor makeup, clearly better at it than other big cities, Yuchi might know only about blush and eyeshadow, but the styles they use are very complex, making even an average disciple look quite good after makeup.

Don’t ask if it’s fake or not, just ask whether you love looking or not.

Yuchi: "I love looking."

Laughing cheekily, he nodded at a few passing ladies, greeted with a wink, a bow, a pout, and a flying kiss, causing two nosebleeds.

They are masters.

"What are you doing? I am a reader of Spring and Autumn." Yuchi turned away, wiping his nosebleeds, calmly walking further.

Next, he reached one of his destinations, the Qi Family.

At the Qi Family’s entrance.

Took just a leisurely fifteen-minute walk after getting off the train, not too far, roughly two miles, and close to the Qi Family were metro stations, shopping streets, medicine workshops, and standing in the state capital center, enjoying prosperous times. Tsk, tsk, surely Qi Family’s land is extremely expensive?

Wondering about the land prices here.

Outside the Qi Family entrance were majestic stone lions and some guards, obviously guards of a prestigious family, standing very straight, cleanly clothed, holding a spear, looking handsome and kind, not just two beefy shirtless guys holding axes at the door.

Seriously.

Intimidating.

Before Yuchi could think of a way to enter the Qi Family, a guard approached directly, a handsome young man, smiling much, saying to the plainly-dressed Yuchi, "Hello, is there anything I can assist with?"

Don’t underestimate the youth... Oops, wrong narrative... Tsk, tsk, really no chance here, no room for boasting or anything? Intelligence locked tightly... No choice, Yuchi cupped his hand, saying, "I’m Yuchi, visiting the esteemed residence mainly to find Miss Qi Baiyu, can you please notify her? Tell her I’ve come to visit."

Yuchi remembers the straightforward and open Miss Qi Baiyu, but not so sure about the accompanying guard, maybe called Ximen Baojian? Ximen Baojian had lost his Divine Soul earlier, then Sun Miaoxing asked Qi Baiyu to take Ximen Baojian to Medicine Master Valley.

It’s been five or six months now; it’s October, even if slow, Qi Baiyu should be back at the residence? So just ask this guard to see if he can notify her, hoping to get the location of Medicine Master Valley from Qi Baiyu.
