Chapter 943 First Arrival, Yuanwu City
“Brother Yuan, thank you very much for your kind offer,” Baili Hongzhuang spoke slowly, “But it’s too much trouble. Beichen and I will explore around Yuanwu City and stay at an inn.”
Although Yuan Hongyang and his companions were very hospitable, Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen were outsiders, and going directly to Yuan’s residence would be quite bothersome.
Moreover, they wouldn’t stay in Yuanwu City for long and would soon leave.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hongyang understood Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen’s intentions and didn’t insist further. He smiled and said, “Then, let’s bid farewell here. I hope we can meet again in the future.”
Di Beichen nodded, “If the opportunity arises, I will definitely invite Young Master Yuan for a drink.”
“It’s a deal, hahaha.”
“A deal.”
Yuan Hongyang and his five companions departed, bringing back a considerable amount of supplies from Tianyan Kingdom.
Xueyuan Kingdom was cold year-round, making it difficult for crops to grow. Therefore, most of them engaged in trade outside to meet their family’s needs.
After Yuan Hongyang and his group left, Di Beichen held Baili Hongzhuang’s hand and, with a handsome face tinged with apology, said, “My lady, Xueyuan Kingdom is always cold. Shall we first buy some warm clothing?”
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, tightly holding Di Beichen’s hand and smiling, “Good, Xueyuan Kingdom is so cold that I doubt we can find such warm clothing near Tianyan Kingdom.”
Even during the winter in Fengbo Kingdom, it was never as cold as Xueyuan Kingdom. The people in this country were used to enduring winters.
Di Beichen understood that Baili Hongzhuang was trying to comfort him. He squeezed her hand and said, “Let’s go into the city quickly.”
Yuanwu City.
As soon as they entered the city gate, Baili Hongzhuang noticed the differences between this city and countries like Fengbo. The wide streets could accommodate eight carriages side by side, and the entire city exuded cleanliness and brilliance.
There were hardly any street vendors on the streets; all goods were sold inside shops. It seemed that Xueyuan Kingdom was too cold for common people to endure selling goods outdoors.
However, the absence of street vendors made the city appear even more extensive.
Looking around, the food in the shops emitted a tempting warmth, increasing their appetites.
Di Beichen noticed Baili Hongzhuang’s expression and couldn’t help but smile. He rarely saw this cute side of her.
Usually, she was strong and confident, but now, being with him, she displayed the kind of innocence typical of her age.
“We’ve been eating dry rations on the flying beast for so many days. It’s been a long time since we had hot food. Shall we buy new clothes first and then have a meal?” Di Beichen suggested.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded with a charming smile, “Sounds good.”
Now that she was in an unfamiliar place with Di Beichen, she felt genuinely happy. If one day they could live a carefree life together, it would be wonderful.
Soon, Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen purchased several sets of warm clothing, making them look even more compatible with the Xueyuan Kingdom.
Baili Hongzhuang’s clothes had collars made of white beast fur, soft and warm, much like the clothing of most people in Yuanwu City.
