Chapter 31: A Violent Transformation of Clothes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Muqing surveyed the clothes in front of her. The collar was adorned with pearls the size of a fingernail, and the front was embroidered with sparkling gold thread. There were two yellow gemstones the size of pigeon eggs on the sleeves. The whole outfit revealed that she was loaded with money and was begging for robbers to rob her.
But with the current situation, Xia Muqing could only accept the clothes.
“I’ll borrow it for a while. I’ll return the same one to you later.”
Huangfu You wanted to say that there was no need to return it.
However, she was left confused by Xia Muqing’s words. Why wouldn’t she return this to her? Why would she return the same one to her?
In the next second, Huangfu You understood.
Xia Muqing swiftly removed the pearls on the collar and the gemstones on the sleeves.
She took off her wet clothes and changed into Huangfu You’s clothes.
“Thanks. I’ll see you around.”
With that, Xia Muqing opened the door and strode out.
The people outside the door heard the sound of the door opening and looked over.
Xia Muqing’s strides were confident. The black scary mask on her face made everyone pay attention.
After all, it didn’t match her clothes.
However, there were quite a number of rich young ladies who pretended to be ordinary people these days.
They misunderstood that Xia Muqing was one of them too. After seeing that there was no Azure Cloud Eagle behind her, they stopped paying attention to her.
Xia Muqing left before everyone’s eyes.
“Shall we follow her, Princess?”
Hearing Huangfu You’s order, the captain of the guards entered the room and asked.
“There is no hurry.” Huangfu You wasn’t eager to chase after her this time.
Huangfu You’s shyness towards Xia Muqing had completely disappeared.
Her expression was completely different from the unruly, willful, and arrogant image she had portrayed in the outside world.
Thinking about Xia Muqing’s last words, she smiled.
Xia Muqing was a smart person. She could understand her intention with one look.
She had accepted the royal family’s invitation.
Huangfu You tidied up her things slowly while the captain stood behind her.
His respectful attitude towards her seemed as though he was serving an emperor and not a princess.
After Xia Muqing walked out of the inn, she rented a carriage and headed to the capital.
The black eagle followed Xia Muqing high up in the sky.
Naturally, no one could catch a glimpse of the eagle flying at such a height. But an eagle could see the people on the ground clearly.
It followed Xia Muqing’s carriage all the way.
It stared at her intently, afraid that it would lose her.
Xia Muqing was a little worried about whether the black eagle would be able to keep up with her, and not about its speed or eyes.
She was worried that the black eagle would be curious to check out what it saw on the road.
Every time Xia Muqing stopped the carriage to rest, she would walk far away to find an empty space to wait.
The black eagle understood what Xia Muqing meant. It flew down to meet Xia Muqing and to eat something.
Just like that, they traveled all the way to the capital. Xia Muqing alighted from the carriage a distance away from the entrance and paid the driver.
She waited for the black eagle in the open space, but it never came.
Xia Muqing had a bad feeling.
After waiting for a long time, the black eagle didn’t appear. Instead, a group of people came.
This group of people should have traveled from a long distance to the capital. As they walked, they discussed what they had just seen.
“That Azure Cloud Eagle is really fierce. It’s expected of the murderer.”
“Yeah, so many people failed to catch it.”
“Why is it here? Is it here to eat Liu Ji Restaurant’s roasted chicken? Hahaha.”
Thinking that it was absurd, the person who spoke laughed out loud.
“Forget it, what does it have to do with us? The Azure Cloud Eagle is not something people like us can dream of.”
They chatted and laughed as they walked past Xia Muqing.
