Chapter 366: Old Acquaintance

Of course, Xiao Fan only complained in his heart and did not voice his thoughts.

The one man and two women left the restaurant once again to stroll around the Imperial City.

This time, besides Xiao Fan who was still wearing his purple robe, both women had changed out of theirs.

Hu Rui was dressed in a red robe, which matched her personality and made her look even more fiery, especially as it accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Nangong Lingxuan had changed into a white robe, making her appear as pure as snow, possessing a transcendent beauty.

Moreover, Xiao Fan vaguely noticed that both women seemed to have applied makeup…

After the one man and two women had been strolling for a while, Xiao Fan directly suggested that he wanted to go see the market they visited yesterday.

His intention in bringing the two women out this time was actually to go to that market to see if he could encounter any ancient artifacts similar to the black compass.

The two women were suspicious and felt that Xiao Fan was a bit strange, but they only thought about it and did not refuse.

The three of them went to the market again, but after strolling for the entire morning and walking through all the stalls, Xiao Fan did not sense anything unusual from the Vientiane.

This left him speechless…

In the end, the three of them left the market. Xiao Fan did not buy anything, while the two women bought quite a lot.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Xiao Fan lost interest in the market and wanted to return to the restaurant: "Let's go. It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

"Not going back."

"Not going back."

The two women were in a unified front, blurting it out without even thinking.

Xiao Fan: "…"

They had only been out strolling for a few hours, and they hadn't had enough yet.

Going back to the restaurant now? That was out of the question.

Thus, the two women dragged Xiao Fan along to continue shopping.

Xiao Fan felt like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet, and he gritted his teeth as he accompanied the two women for another hour.

He was expressionless, like a walking machine; shopping was too much of a torture for him.

However, the two women were having the time of their lives. Even the usually icy-faced Nangong Lingxuan would occasionally reveal a smile that was pleasing to the eye.

Just then, a communication jade slip inside Xiao Fan's Storage Pouch made a sound.

Xiao Fan was startled and took it out to check.

Afterward, his expression changed.

"It's her…"

Xiao Fan was puzzled. He couldn't find her in the Jixian Sect, so how did she come to the Imperial Capital?

Furthermore, the other party told him not to tell Hu Rui and Nangong Lingxuan, and arranged a location for Xiao Fan to come and meet her secretly.

Does this mean she knows where he is right now?

"Um, I suddenly remembered I need to buy some dried meat, and my Spirit Beast hasn't been fed yet." Xiao Fan casually found an excuse…

"Huh? Xiao Fan, you have a Spirit Beast?" Hu Rui was stunned.

"A Spirit Beast? How come I've never seen it?" Nangong Lingxuan, who was at the side, also looked puzzled.

They had been in contact with Xiao Fan for so long, yet they never knew he kept a Spirit Beast.

Usually, when keeping a Spirit Beast, it is placed in a spirit beast bag and carried around; one would never be like Xiao Fan, who leaves his Immortal Cave at the drop of a hat and leaves the Spirit Beast in the Spirit Beast room without caring about it.

Xiao Fan gave a wry smile, took out the spirit beast bag, and let out Little Jin.

"Woo-woof"…

As soon as the Golden-Haired Lion came out, it let out a low roar at Xiao Fan, then looked around suspiciously, discovering that it was actually in a strange city…

It had originally wanted to act spoiled, but it immediately became well-behaved.

Nangong Lingxuan and Hu Rui were taken aback; they hadn't expected Xiao Fan to actually have a Spirit Beast.

And this lion looked quite impressive, even if its strength wasn't much to speak of.

There were many Spirit Beasts in the Imperial City, but most were not as imposing as the Golden-Haired Lion.

The Golden-Haired Lion looked at Xiao Fan with large, confused eyes, feeling a bit puzzled.

"Whoosh"…

Then, under the Golden-Haired Lion's confused gaze, Xiao Fan put it back inside again.

"See, this is my Spirit Beast." Xiao Fan spread his hands.

"You really do have a Spirit Beast, and this lion looks really good." Hu Rui was surprised: "Xiao Fan, how did you get this Spirit Beast?"

Her eyes were gleaming with greed; it looked like she had taken a liking to the Golden-Haired Lion.

Hearing this, Nangong Lingxuan also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what Xiao Fan had to say.

The Golden-Haired Lion certainly had a good appearance; regardless of its strength, it was perfectly fine to keep as a pet.

"This… I picked it up in the wild mountains." Xiao Fan was speechless. Back then, he was chased into a dense forest, ended up seizing this lion's Immortal Cave, and then the Golden-Haired Lion insisted on following him.

And so, it ended up like this…

"Picked it up?"

The two women were speechless. Since he said he picked it up, what could they do?

"You two go ahead and stroll for a bit. I'll go buy the dried meat and will come back to find you in a moment. This lion has such a big appetite, it's always eating…" Xiao Fan let out a breath.

The two women nodded, not thinking too much about it, and continued strolling.

After Xiao Fan left, he followed the location provided by the communication jade slip just now.

It wasn't far from his current location, and Xiao Fan arrived a quarter of an hour later.

Xiao Fan was puzzled; he hadn't expected the location sent by the other party to be a gambling den.

He walked in suspiciously. As soon as he entered the door, a woman came up to greet him with a smile.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you are really slow."

The person who came was none other than Qiao Rong. She was wearing a colorful dress, her posture was beautiful and moving, and her large, smiling eyes kept sizing Xiao Fan up.

Xiao Fan was stunned. Why had Qiao Rong changed?

Her appearance was even more outstanding than before.

"It was a bit far, I just arrived." Xiao Fan also sized Qiao Rong up with a suspicious gaze.

He discovered that he could no longer see through Qiao Rong's cultivation level, which gave him a shock.

"Let's go, let's go inside and chat." Qiao Rong said with a smile.
