Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2790: Chapter 2791: Transaction

Central Region, Xihua City.

This was an extremely upscale restaurant, located in the wealthiest district of Xihua City; anyone who came here to dine was either rich or noble.

Because it was not a mealtime, the front of the restaurant was rather deserted, and even the waiter welcoming guests was so bored that he leaned against the door pillar and dozed off.

Just then, the crisp sound of wheels rolling over bluestone shattered the quiet.

The waiter jolted awake from his half-sleep, looked up, and saw a carriage entirely pitch-black— even the nag pulling it was black— slowly approach and stop at the entrance.

He hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and quickly stepped forward with a broad smile to welcome them.

But he did not take the initiative to speak, because as a waiter of such a high-class restaurant, he knew very well that guests who came here all had their quirks, more or less.

Especially a carriage this black—it made one’s heart tremble; who knew what kind of person its master would be.

If the other party disliked being greeted, then his enthusiasm would not only be wasted effort, but might even backfire.

So he only stood respectfully by the roadside, head lowered, eyes downcast, not daring to look any more than necessary.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the carriage curtain sway, then a faint fragrance wafted over as two women in white gauze stepped down from the carriage.

Both of them wore veils and bamboo hats, hiding themselves tightly from head to toe.

Yet this waiter dealt with people every day, and his eyes were sharp; though it was only a lightning glimpse, he could still tell that both women were rare beauties.

Especially the one walking in front—she was a beauty among beauties.

But the more that was the case, the less the waiter dared to raise his head.

Because women of this level appearing here would surely have backgrounds of terrifying depth.

With someone like him, just one extra glance might bring about a fatal disaster.

So he stood properly and obediently in place, and only when the two white-clad figures had gone far away did he dare to slightly lift his head, looking with a face full of dread at the backs that had already vanished at the turn of the second floor.

The two women in white stepped up to the second floor.

The second floor was even more luxurious than the main hall on the first, and more private as well.

A thick carpet covered the floor, and their footsteps made no sound at all.

The two walked at an unhurried pace to a private room at the very end of the corridor, then the woman in front spoke slowly.

"Wait outside."

"Yes, Miss!" the woman behind answered, sounding very much like a servant addressing her mistress.

The woman pushed open the heavy door and walked into the private room.

Thick curtains hung over the windows, not letting even a sliver of light through.

So although it was broad daylight outside, the private room was pitch-black within.

The woman showed not the slightest panic and closed the door behind her.

With a click, the door shut, cutting off all sound from outside; the room was so quiet it was unnerving.

Just then, a soft chuckle came from out of the darkness.

"Although this is not our first meeting, every time I see you I still can’t help but be captivated by Miss Yun’s peerless beauty."

As the voice fell, a point of candlelight flared up on the square table in the center of the room.

The candlelight was a ghostly blue, making the private room seem all the more eerie and terrifying.

Yet all this horror combined was still nothing compared to the one sitting behind the table.

To call it a person was not quite accurate; it was only an existence whose form was somewhat close to human.

The reason for saying so was that although this existence sat there, it was like a wavering mass of shadow; even the nearby candlelight could not penetrate its surface in the slightest.

And the way that clump of shadow flickered from time to time looked like a terrifying image that would only appear in a nightmare, enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Even so, the woman showed no trace of fear. Instead, she slowly removed her hat and veil, revealing a face of exquisite, otherworldly beauty.

It was Yun Lingxuan.

"Steward Hong overpraises me."

With that, she sat down openly and calmly opposite the mass of shadow.

The shadow quivered a few times, then a face gradually emerged in the region that could be called its head.

It was a face that defied description.

Its features were no different from a human’s, even rather handsome, but once put together they gave a sense of extreme wickedness—one extra look and you might go mad.

And now, that very face was greedily gazing at Yun Lingxuan.

Were it any other woman, she would probably have lost her mind on the spot.

But Yun Lingxuan seemed used to it, calmly meeting the gaze across from her.

"Hehehehe..." The shadow let out a shrill, grating laugh. "Do you know why I find you beautiful, Miss Yun? Because you’re the only woman who dares to face me directly without changing color!"

At this point, the face furrowed its brows, then said in a rather dejected tone,

"I don’t know when it started, but women like that have grown fewer and fewer! Especially once they learn that I can see through all their disguises, there’s not a single woman left who’s willing to stand in front of me!"

"After all, no matter what clothes they wear, what disguises they use, it’s all useless; in my eyes, they’re no different from being stark naked! Hahahahaha!"

The shadow burst into a smug, wild laugh.

Yun Lingxuan did not react at all, simply sitting there quietly until his laughter tapered off, and only then did she say slowly,

"Have you finished laughing? If you’re done, let’s begin the transaction."

The shadow muttered in a slightly frustrated tone, "Hey, do you really not feel even a little afraid?"

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid?" Yun Lingxuan replied calmly.

"I can see through all your disguises, you know!"

"Oh? And then? Can we start the transaction now?" Yun Lingxuan said.

The shadow suddenly felt very unaccomplished, so he spoke listlessly, "Alright, alright, this is no fun at all. Let’s just hurry up and get on with the transaction."

Yun Lingxuan nodded, then reached into her pocket and took out a pitted, dull gray stone.

At the sight of the stone, the shadow’s eyes lit up.

"I truly didn’t expect Miss Yun to have gathered so much wish-power in such a short time!"

As he spoke, a tentacle extended from the shadow to take the stone.

Yun Lingxuan lifted her hand and avoided the tentacle, then said evenly, "And what about what I asked for?"

The shadow froze for a moment, then resentfully tossed out a glowing sphere.

"There’s just no helping it. We’ve already traded so many times, and Miss Yun is still this wary?"

With an indifferent expression, Yun Lingxuan received the sphere of light and carefully examined it. Once she confirmed it was what she wanted, she finally tossed over the stone in her hand, saying at the same time,

"Can’t be helped. When dealing with existences like you, one has to stay on full alert."
