Rebirth Of A Villainess 111 Misgiving 21

They moved from stall to stall, picking up things and admiring them as they went. To the little boys, it was a time to move freely and run about as much as they wanted.

"What would you like to get?"

Lin Cheng looked at the fox princess whose eyes were on the dazzling hair pins and combs that was on display by the shopkeeper on a wine colored plain cloth. Looking from one to the other, unsure of which one to choose out of them, before then the shopkeeper had introduced himself as "Chan", which was his family name.

The twin boys held in their hands, a dragon sugar candy, while chatting happily with themselves. Their eyes sparkled at the things they saw, moving from one stall to the next in the crowded marketplace.

"Shopkeeper Chan, I'll like to have the silver and blue one over to the far right!"

The man that sold the hair pins and combs, reached for the hair pin that the fox princess asked for, picking it up and wrapping the hair pin in a plain blue cloth, before handing them to her.

"Miss, thank you for buying from my shop, is there anything else that meets your eyes?"

Yan Xuequi looked again, but she didn't seem to want any from the shopkeepers merchandise.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chan. But, I do not need to get anything from your shop. I'll like to be on my way."

The shopkeeper, a middle aged man, nodded in understanding, as he watched the beautiful woman that stood in front of his shop leave with two children that looked very much alike. It was there, that the shopkeeper realized that he may have mistakenly referred to the woman as a maiden rather than a married one.

"The G.o.ds have blessed her with beauty and twins! Fortune will never cease from her house!"

Lin Cheng looked at the shopkeeper, who was carried away by what he saw, thinking that they little boys belonged to the fox princess, not knowing that they were cousins.

"Excuse me, Shopkeeper Chan."

The man came back to his senses, after staring at the three that walked hand in hand from his stall.

"Yes, Mister?"

"I'll very much like to get the hair pin with the crimson stones on them."

Lin Cheng pointed to the silver pin that had a red stone at the top, which was lying at the center of the tablecloth.

"Mister, is this for your wife or betrothed?"

The BaoXu disciple had a look that bordered on embarra.s.sment, the person that he wanted to get it for was neither of those. It was then, that Lin Cheng thought that it was no use in getting the hair pin when he wasn't anything to the person he was planning of giving it to, sensing the hesitation from the man that stood in front of his stall. The shopkeeper was quick to conclude that Lin Cheng had a someone he secretly admired.

"This is elegant enough for a maiden or a married woman!"

The shopkeeper was quick to praise the choice of Lin Cheng, who visibly relaxed when he heard that the hair pin he chose was the right choice. His intention was to ensure that he didn't lose sale for the day and not because he though that Lin Cheng picked what was the best. Wrapping the hair pin in a cloth of olive green, the shopkeeper handed it to the good looking man that stood in front of him.

Dressed in dark cloak, outwardly Lin Cheng looked like a traveler than the cultivator that he was, he thanked the shopkeeper and began running to the three that had gone far ahead of him, easily picking up the aura of the fox princess. Just as she could find him at Xuekejiu town, Lin Cheng could easily pick out the fox princess from the crowded streets of the market.

The BaoXu sect disciple never thought that the reason that he was able to single out Yan Xuequi from the thick crowd, despite not being able to tell where the twins were, it was only possible because of the connection they formed within the forest on the day he was about to be attacked by thieves.

Yan Xuequi kept chatting with her cousins and looking around for what next to get from the market, the fox princess was enjoying herself with the twins, thinking that Lin Cheng was behind them, only to turn around and he was nowhere to be found.

"Lin Cheng!"

Calling out from the crowded street, as several of the towns people began b.u.mping into them when the suddenly stopped on the street.

"Hey! Stop blocking our way!"

Angry voices of men and women shouted at the fox princess and the little boys.

"Yidan! Zimu! We have to turn back and search for Lin Cheng! How did this happen?!"

Scared that he had lost his way, the fox princess momentarily forgot that she could tell where he was because of their invisible bond.

"Aunt Xuequi, stop crying!"

The candy they were happily licked was tossed to the ground, as each twin held onto their cousin, to console her. The fox princess was b.u.mped into and pushed by those that walked the street, while holding the twins in a protective way.

"Princess Xuequi?"

Yan Xuewui turned around when she heard the voice that resembled those of Lin Cheng, gazing at him with tear stained eyes.

"How did you find us?!"

The fox princess could not believe her eyes when she saw the person that she was looking for, looked very composed, while she was scared out of her mind.

"I don't know how, but I could somehow tell where you were from the crowd."

It took a while for what Lin Cheng said to sink in and when it finally did, Yan Xuequi knew right there that he was her fated one.
