3044: I Want

I Want

The tiger beast paused, then said: "Those people were thrown off the trail by the woman, but I wasn't discovered." It raised its head proudly and wagged its tail. 0

"One of you stayed behind to keep an eye on her while the other came back to report?" Feng Jiu looked at it with amusement and reached out to pat its head. 

"Yes, Master. The woman bought medicine with the money she won and she gave the elixir to an old man. But the old man's breath was very weak, it looked like he might be dying. Also, the woman wiped off the flower after she returned and disguised herself as a man."

"Come on then! Let's go and have a look." Feng Jiu said, then she opened the door and walked out. 

As soon as she stepped out with her tiger beast, Wanyan Shisan followed stealthily. But he didn't get very far before Feng Jiu discovered him. 

She stopped, then she looked back and said: "If you want to follow me then hurry up. What are you doing sneaking behind me?"

The corners of Wanyan Shisan's mouth twitched and he came out from the shadows: "How did you notice me?"

"Can you not see your shadow on the ground?" She squinted at him and looked at the shadow on the ground. 

Upon seeing this, Wanyan Shisan smiled and said: "I'm getting older, I'm not as good as I was at many things like I was before. Look how careless I am at tailing." He smiled embarrassedly and walked to Feng Jiu's side: "But, where are you going? Don't tell me you really want to go to the beautiful woman's home?"

Feng Jiu didn't say much, she just followed the tiger beast forward and crossed the busy street. They headed towards the slum area and kept walking till they arrived at a big tree, then she jumped onto the big tree and looked at the dilapidated house nor far ahead under the cover of the big tree.

In the dim light, a man in gray clothes was helping an old woman to compress the acupuncture points on her body. There was a scar at the corner of the man's eyebrow which ruined the man's delicate face. 

However, if one had seen the woman's disguise tonight, one would probably not have imagined that the person in front of their eyes would be the woman who won the title of the Number One Beauty.

Right now, she was disguised as a man and dressed in simple and shabby gray clothes with a flat chest and wide waist. Her face was sallow in colour and the scar was inconspicuous. 

"Oh? She has a scar on her face! She looks so ugly now, no wonder she didn't dare to leave her name." Wanyan Shisan said. He thought that he would see a beautiful woman, he hadn't expected to see a woman disguised as a man. 

When he thought of the words disguised as a man, he chuckled and looked at Feng Jiu who was beside him: "This woman is quite clever like you, she likes to disguise herself as a man."

"Quite clever?"

Feng Jiu pursed her lips slightly and looked at the woman dressed in men's clothing, then she said: "Showing herself in women's clothing and using tricks to cover up her flaws on her face, winning the title of Number One Beauty from the Beauty Pavilion, and able to get rid of people tailing her from the Beauty Pavilion, this person is not just a little clever."

She paused and her gaze flickered slightly, then she continued speaking: " What's more, not every woman likes to disguise herself as a man. More often than not, it's to avoid trouble and for self-protection."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Shisan glanced at her and asked: "Then why did you order the two beasts to keep an eye on her? What do you want to do?"

"I want this person." Feng Jiu said with a gleam in her eyes: "A woman with unique characteristics is most suitable to solicit to have by my side."
