Chapter 16

"Ugh …"

At this moment, Shien's expression was stiff and he was speechless.

To Shien, who was from another world, the young lady's words were undoubtedly arrogant.

If it was in his previous life, it wouldn't be surprising if he was treated as a pretentious prick.

Unfortunately, this was a world of swords and magic. There were Gods, Demon King, and even nobles and royals. Even the races weren't limited to humans. Such words might not mean much in this world.

However, it also meant one thing.

The young lady in front of him was either an arrogant and ignorant person or a real rich young lady with an extraordinary background.

Regardless of which one it was, Shien didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Otherwise, according to the development trend of the story, there would definitely be all kinds of troubles in the future.

Therefore, Shien made a very straightforward decision.

"Then I'm really sorry. Please forgive me for asking such an ignorant question. I'll leave now."

After saying that, Sean lowered his head as if he was very humble. Then, he ran away as fast as he could.

"You …"

The young lady was stunned.

Obviously, the young lady didn't expect Shien to do such a thing.

By the time the young lady reacted, Shien had already blended into the crowd and couldn't even be seen.

The young lady stared blankly at the direction where Shien disappeared for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

That laughter was like a silver bell, extremely pleasant to the ear.

Such a scene would even cause the surrounding people to raise their eyebrows, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were infatuated and intoxicated by such a scene.

However, the people around seemed to be completely unaware that there was such an astonishingly beautiful young lady beside them as they walked past as if there was no one else around.

Until …

"Young Lady."

Just as the young girl stopped laughing, an emotionless, high-spirited voice rang out.

Unknowingly, a person separated the crowd and walked towards the young lady's direction.

If Shien was still here, he would definitely be surprised, right?

This was because the person who separated the crowd looked exactly like the young lady. It was as if they were carved from the same mold. Like the young lady's twin sister, be it height, figure, hair color, or eye color, they were all the same.

However, unlike the former, not only was this young lady expressionless, but she wasn't wearing a formal dress either. Instead, she was wearing a maid's outfit.

If the young lady was said to be a rich young lady strolling on the streets on a whim, then the maid would be a smart and reliable servant.

"You're here, La Xia."

The young girl looked at the maidservant who looked exactly like her and showed a kind and happy smile. She looked like a sister and looked very similar to her.

"Yes, I've bought what you wanted, Young Lady."

The female servant called Hua Xia replied indifferently. She was holding a bag in her arms, and from the fragrance coming from it, it was clear that it was filled with delicious food.

It was not hard to imagine that the young lady had asked La Xia to buy something delicious.

However, looking at the happy expression on the young lady's face, La Xia was a little puzzled.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Young Lady Lésia."

La Xia saw through the young lady's mood.

The young lady — Lésia didn't seem to have the intention to hide it.

"Don't mind me, I just met an interesting adventurer." Lésia seemed to be thinking about what happened just now. She smiled happily and said, "It's not because of fear or respect, nor is it because she knows my background. It's just because I didn't tell her my name and acted as if she was afraid of getting into trouble, so she fled. This is the first time I've seen such a person."

Upon hearing this, La Xia didn't ask anything else.

Although she didn't know what happened, La Xia was already used to Lésia doing something on a whim.

Because the young lady who was like a twin sister to La Xia was such a casual person who liked to do all kinds of things on a whim.

This time, she must have done something on a whim, right?

But …

"It's been a long time since I've seen Young Lady so happy."

La Xia said her thoughts honestly.

"That's true." Lésia couldn't help but smile a little and said with some nostalgia, "How long has it been since the last time you smiled so happily?"

Lésia couldn't remember.

However, Lésia didn't continue thinking about it and soon revealed a relaxed expression.

"Come to think of it …"

Lésia once again looked in the direction where Shien left, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"That adventurer's magical power seems to be a little special, and the bag he carried seems to have a very familiar power. It shouldn't be an illusion, right?"

Lésia was quite thoughtful.

The reason why she talked to Shien was not only because she heard Shien's words, but also because of this reason.

"My [Cognitive Obstruction] doesn't seem to have any effect on him. Otherwise, even if I took the initiative to talk to him, he wouldn't have immediately noticed my existence and clearly cast his gaze on me."

Lésia murmured.

"Could it be that he …"

Perhaps thinking of something, Lésia's eyes began to become cold and dangerous.

"Young Lady?"

La Xia, who didn't know what Lésia was thinking, woke her up and brought her back to her senses.

"It's okay, let's go."

Lésia smiled again and said to La Xia.

Of course …

"Looks like I'll have to stay in this town for a while."

With that thought in mind, Lésia turned around and left the place.

Seeing that, La Xia didn't ask anything and quietly followed.

From the beginning to the end, no one in the surroundings had noticed the presence of the twin girls. They were like ghosts that no one had noticed, leaving without a sound.

…

On the other hand, Shien who didn't know that he had been targeted was still rejoicing.

"Thank goodness I'm smart."

Shien, who had mixed into the crowd and ran for a distance, heaved a sigh of relief.

His own troubles hadn't been solved yet, and Shien didn't want to get involved in new troubles.

"Let's find a place to rest and enjoy my first night in the human society of another world."

Shien decided to stop thinking about troublesome things.

After living as a savage for ten days, he really wanted to change the quality of his life.

As for other things …

"I'll think about it later."

So, Shien began to wander around this town.
