Li Beibei, arm in arm with a towering young man, strode over and greeted Xin Sui with an air of pride and arrogance.
"Fifth Sister, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you while out shopping."
"Come, let me introduce you. This is the second young master of the Thorn City Lord's family, my fiancé Herik, a mid-star (second tier) expert."
The tall and burly Herek scratched the back of his head and gave Xin Sui a simple smile: "Hello, Fifth Sister."
Xin Sui returned the greeting with a polite smile: "Hello, Third Brother-in-law."
Not getting the desired sour expression from "Li Xueli," Li Beibei pouted, thinking she was just putting on an act in front of her.
His eyes swept over Shui Duoduo and her brother. "Fifth Sister, didn't Dad say you came to Bright City with some important person to enjoy life? Why are you still hanging out with people like this?"
His words were full of disdain for Shui Duoduo and the other person.
Xin Sui chuckled inwardly.
I don't know whether to pity Li Beibei or be speechless. The "this kind of person" in your eyes is the male protagonist of this world.
Fortunately, judging from Shui Duoduo's expression, she clearly didn't take Li Beibei's mockery and disdain to heart.
Just as Xin Sui was about to speak, a car drove up.
The car window rolled down, revealing a young and handsome face.
The man had a pair of azure eyes, and a blue feather earring dangled from his left ear, giving him an exotic beauty.
He got out of the car, walked up to Xin Sui, bowed slightly to her, and gestured for her to proceed.
“Miss Li, I am Ferro, an official under the deputy city lord. The deputy city lord invites you to his residence for a chat.”
Li Beibei's eyes widened instantly.
Could it be that the important figure Li Xueli has climbed up to is actually the deputy city lord?
Good heavens! Is she about to become rich?!
At the same time, after Ferro finished speaking, the entire street suddenly fell silent, as if a mute button had been pressed.
Countless eyes were cast over.
Most of them are envious.
"Who is that beautiful woman? How did she manage to receive an invitation from the Deputy City Lord?"
"Ahhh, that's Lord Ferro! He's only thirty years old and he's already a Great Star Realm (Third Tier) expert! And he's so handsome, I wish I could have his offspring!"
"What a sissy! How is that effeminate pretty boy handsome? Pshaw."
"Ah, I wish I could get an invitation from Lord Crimson Frost. I really want to get to know Lord Crimson Frost up close."
...
The streets quickly returned to their bustling and noisy state.
But Xin Sui remains the focus of everyone's attention.
Xin Sui wondered if she would be beaten up by Chi Shuang if she refused their invitation in front of everyone.
"Sorry, as you can see, I'm shopping right now. I still have a lot to buy, so I'll have to do it another time—"
Before she could finish refusing, Ferro said, "It's alright, you can shop as much as you want. You can come with me whenever you're done shopping."
Xin Sui: "..."
Li Beibei pulled Xin Sui over, letting her fiancé's tall and broad frame block the two of them.
He whispered, "Are you stupid?! That's an invitation from the deputy city lord, why aren't you going? What are you even doing browsing? You can buy things anytime!"
Xin Sui chuckled: "Li Beibei, whether I accept the deputy city lord's invitation or not is none of your business, is it?"
Li Beibei became anxious, "How can it not be a problem? No matter how much we argue or fight at home, once we step outside, we're sisters with the same surname. Aren't I just thinking of you?"
Xin Sui shook his head, not wanting to explain further.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs."
He said to Shui Duoduo and the other person, "Let's go."
They continued browsing.
However, if her gaze lingered on something for more than two seconds, the stall owner would immediately hand it over.
"You are a guest of the Deputy City Lord. It is my honor that you have taken a liking to these items. Please feel free to take them."
Some she didn't even look at before the stall owner squeezed in to give her the items.
Xin Sui truly experienced just how popular Chi Shuang, the deputy city lord, was.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the goddess of the entire city of Brightness.
If Crimson Frost is supposed to be a subterranean spy infiltrating humanity, why is she so beloved?
There is a reason for this, of course.
First, Crimson Frost regards all the people in the city as her food, and the taste of human food is positively correlated with their mood and happiness index.
Therefore, in order to ensure the taste of the food, she did her best to ensure that the people in the city lived well, and to provide for their material and spiritual needs as much as possible.
In the eyes of the city's residents, it was clear that the deputy city lord was working tirelessly to ensure they could live a better life, so how could they not be grateful?
Secondly, people are visual creatures, and Chi Shuang's figure and looks are top-notch, making her attractive to men and enviable to women.
Who could not like her?
Thirdly, Crimson Frost's special ability is soul-capturing, which is very effective against humans. Even those who oppose or hate her will become obedient and adoring after being captivated by her soul.
Faced with the throngs of stall owners and shopkeepers, how could Xin Sui possibly continue browsing?
He could only tell Shui Duoduo and the other person, "I'm going to visit the deputy city lord's mansion. Contact me with Jingka if you need anything."
Shui Duoduo nodded.
Li Beibei felt incredibly jealous watching Xin Sui get into Lord Ferro's car.
Chao Shui Duoduo said "Hey," and asked, "Do you know my fifth sister? What's your relationship with her? Do you know where she lives?"
Shui Duoduo glanced at her and said, "No comment."
After saying that, he grabbed his sister and left, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.
"Hey you—" Li Beibei stomped her foot angrily, "What kind of person are you!"
