Zhou Xiaotong consumed the Face Changing Pill Xue Fanxin had given him and disguised himself as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth. His skin was much fairer than before, and his appearance was completely different. It was impossible to tell that he was Zhou Xiaotong.
Xue Fanxin took out another male outfit that had originally been prepared for her from her space and handed it to Zhou Xiaotong. “Change your clothes. Quickly.”
“Okay.” Zhou Xiaotong did not ask further and listened obediently. He took the clothes to the bushes beside him and changed.
When Zhou Xiaotong went to change, Xue Fanxin also went to her space to change. She took off her tattered clothes and changed into the clothes she usually wore. She washed up briefly so as to not be in such a sorry state.
In that case, if the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect came looking for her, she would have an even better explanation.
Soon, Zhou Xiaotong had changed. However, he had never worn such high-end clothes, so he felt rather awkward wearing them. Furthermore, he did not dare to move his limbs greatly, afraid that he would damage the clothes.
Such clothes should be very expensive.
Even the richest person in their village could not afford to wear them.
“Ninth Imperial Consort, these clothes must be very expensive, right? If they’re damaged, I definitely won’t be able to pay for them.” Zhou Xiaotong walked up to Xue Fanxin, looking as awkward as possible, still holding his tattered clothes in his hand.
“I have plenty of such clothes. Even if they’re damaged, I don’t need you to pay me. Take this storage bag. There’s some money, medicine, and food inside. If we accidentally separate, you won’t be too miserable. By the way, give me the clothes in your hand.” Xue Fanxin handed the storage bag to Zhou Xiaotong and took his clothes away, burning them with spirit fire.
They could not let the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect see these clothes, or their identities would be easily seen through.
How could Zhou Xiaotong be in the mood to care about his tattered clothes now? All his attention was on the storage bag Xue Fanxin had given him. He secretly peeked inside and realized that there were many things. Just the crystal coins alone were quite a lot. There were also clothes, food, and even weapons.
“Ninth Imperial Consort, are you really giving these things to me?” Zhou Xiaotong said, feeling a little flattered. He did not dare to take them. After all, the things in the storage bag were too valuable. Even if he sold his entire village, he would not have that much money.
“Yes, I’m really giving it to you. These will all be yours in the future. Don’t be so polite to me. It’s fate that we met. Just treat it as making friends. Also, don’t call me Ninth Imperial Consort. When we’re out, just call me Fanjiu. As for you, you have to change your name.”
“Then I’ll be called Fantong.”
“Pfft… Fantong[1], the good-for-nothing.”
“Haha…” Zhou Xiaotong scratched his head awkwardly. He had not expected the name he had casually given to be so….
“Alright, we’ll talk about the rest in the future. I’m almost done resting now. Let’s continue to escape.” Xue Fanxin did not waste any more time chatting with Zhou Xiaotong and continued to lead him deeper into the Yungu Mountain Range. Furthermore, the journey was very smooth. They did not encounter any danger, nor did any demonic beasts come out to attack them.
But some people were not treated so well.
A few elders had been injured in the battle with the demonic beasts.
However, even if they were injured, they had to continue pursuing through the Yungu Mountain Range. They had to capture An Xiaomeng.
“This new disciple called An Xiaomeng is really not simple. She actually escaped here. How did she dodge those demonic beasts?”
If they had not discovered the traces of the two new disciples escaping, they would not have believed that a new disciple could escape to the depths of the Yungu Mountain Range alive. After all, even they could not deal with the demonic beasts here.
How could the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect know that the demonic beasts in the Yungu Mountain Range would not attack Xue Fanxin at all?
