"Shadowless asked again, 'Shadowless, shall we attend the welcome banquet?'"
"Why not participate? Isn't that Blood Burning Secret Technique more appealing? Let me make this clear first: if you manage to steal that Blood Burning Secret Technique, it's mine," Qinghe said.
Wuying and the two ghost kings looked at Wang Yao. Wang Yao smiled slightly and nodded.
If this trip can truly force the Liang Clan to turn against the tribal alliance, Qinghe will need to take something back to her father to explain, and the Blood Burning Secret Technique is undoubtedly the best gift.
"Then we'll make our move after the welcome banquet, once they're all drunk and sound asleep at their lodgings." Wuying stared at everyone with wide eyes.
“Alright!” The two ghost kings, Wang Yao, and Qing He nodded in unison.
"There's one more thing, is the Old Man of the Moon going to see Qiao Bushi, the patriarch of the Shu clan?" Wuying asked again.
“Of course I’ll go. This was originally my mission here, and it will also make the Shu tribe understand that there is no way out for them to be indecisive,” Wang Yao said.
After carefully examining every aspect of the plan, Qinghe felt reassured that there were no loopholes except for the fact that the other party's level was beyond her control. She then went upstairs in the villa to rest, by which time it was already dawn.
Wang Yao and Wu Ying stayed in the villa until the afternoon of that day when a Mao tribe member disguised as a cat quietly slipped over and told them that the delegation had arrived in Cheese City and that the Mao tribe embassy was preparing to hold a welcome banquet the following evening, so they should make preparations in advance.
They calmly dismissed the kitten that had come to deliver the message, and Wuying and the two ghost kings nodded to Wang Yao one after the other, their figures gradually turning into nothingness in front of him.
They did not want to rely on the Mao Clan to provide information such as the number of envoys, their approximate cultivation levels, and where they were staying. Instead, they chose to have several Netherworld Ghosts skilled in concealing their whereabouts actively collect this information.
It was still daytime, and although the weather was cloudy, it was the height of summer, and the yang energy was still intense. In order to find out the news as soon as possible, the ghosts were really going all out.
Not long after the three ghosts left, Qinghe came downstairs. Wang Yao told her about the information the Mao clan had given him and the operation that would begin the next day. Qinghe walked to the villa door, glanced outside, and then turned to look at Wang Yao.
"Is there anything else?" Qinghe asked.
"Nothing much to do today," Wang Yao shook his head.
“Then come shopping with me,” Qinghe said.
"Go shopping...? We don't have any money, what's the point of going shopping?" Wang Yao was taken aback.
"Even if I don't have money, I still have to go shopping. I'm wearing this outfit to the banquet, aren't I?" Qinghe pointed to her slightly asymmetrical coat and scolded Wang Yao.
“Uh…” Wang Yao glanced at Qing He and thought to himself that it wasn’t a big deal that she was wearing this outfit. However, he was not a typical straight man and knew that arguing with a young girl over something as trivial as shopping was really annoying. So he nodded helplessly.
As Wang Yao accompanied the overjoyed Qinghe to the streets of Cheese City, he pondered repeatedly about where to get money. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and started tapping his earphones as he walked.
"Let me tell you, you definitely won't regret coming shopping with me. The Shu Clan has the most and most complete selection of luxury goods in our Holy Domain. You know brands like Chameleon, Hamster, and Halibut, right? The Shu Clan has all of their exclusive stores!" Qinghe exclaimed to Wang Yao with wide eyes.
"Never heard of it." Wang Yao shook his head blankly, thinking to himself that the brands in the demon realm are all quite lively.
The two first boarded the bus for free as "foreign guests" and asked the driver where the shopping centers were most concentrated in Cheese City. Following the driver's directions, they transferred buses several times and finally arrived at Baiwei Street in the city center, which is also the most bustling area of Cheese City.
Here, towering buildings stand side by side, shops line the streets, and rats swarm around, making it comparable to the bustling shopping districts of the human world and the underworld.
"Look, look! A chameleon, a chameleon!" As soon as she got off the bus, Qinghe was stunned by the bustling street. She paused for a moment, then immediately pointed to a large advertising screen on the wall of the building directly opposite and exclaimed in surprise.
Following her pointing, Wang Yao saw a chameleon on the screen lying on what looked like a sand dune. Suddenly, its tongue shot out and struck an insect flying past not far in front of it. Then, with a flick of its long tongue, it swallowed the unfortunate insect.
The large text at the bottom of the image reads, "Chameleon brand clothing always helps you stand out and say goodbye to mediocrity!"
Then the scene changed, and several mice with painted eyebrows and eyes, dressed in an exceptionally fashionable way, were posing and preening on the screen. Qinghe was so engrossed in watching that she stood there, completely mesmerized.
Wang Yao had seen far too many of these kinds of product advertisements, far more than Qinghe, who had grown up under a rationing system.
Not to mention the human world, Wang Yao had seen countless commercial centers in the underworld. He had even personally robbed several underworld supermarkets. So, seeing this now, he didn't find it particularly novel.
Qinghe stared at the advertising screen for a long time before timidly pulling Wang Yao's arm and walking towards the shopping center below the screen.
This is a spacious boutique, decorated in a high-end and luxurious style. Several fashionable and graceful mice are putting on a continuous fashion show on two specially built catwalks in the store, while a few well-dressed mice sit in chairs by the catwalks and watch.
The rest of the boutique surrounding the two runways was filled with mannequin rats dressed in various fashions, each with an arrogant expression, their heads held high, looking disdainfully at the few shoppers passing by.
