11 The Veiled Beauty.

MoShen sprinted through the vast forest he entered after escaping the divine alchemist sect without being caught, running as far as he could because he knew the Sect's man hunt would soon be out of the sect when they discovered he had stolen their prized martial arts.

'Although I'm not sure why the system triggered such a system, I suppose this is kind of interesting. Having powerful people chasing you gives you zeal to increases your power to fight them in the end.'

MoShen used his stored internal energy to accelerate his escape. His mask is still on. Fortunately, no one saw him wearing the mask and is still alive; they are all dead.

It's a dark night...

The crescent moon hung in the sky, illuminating the dark earth with its beautiful light. At this moment, MoShen has successfully escaped the forest and is now facing the ever-busy streets, teeming with people.

"I'm looking for a place to stay for the night." He muttered, and luckily, after a long walk, he came across a house with a lit board with the words "Inn Guru" perfectly inscribed on it.

When MoShen arrived, he was greeted by a beautiful receptionist dressed in a revealing robe.

"Welcome to our inn, sire."

"How much does a room cost per night?"

"10 low grade spirit stones."

"All right, this is it."

"Thank you for coming; this is your room key."

"Thanks."

"Wait sire, do you want someone to serve you for the night, you look a little tired and your wounds need to be cleaned?"

MoShen's behavior suggested to the receptionist that he is one of the prodigal young masters of a wealthy family. Her eyes did not miss the fact that his clothes were burned and his leg was tied to stop it from bleeding.

"I appreciate your concern."

MoShen told the receptionist, who was feeling down on herself, that she was really hurt by those words, as if she wasn't pretty enough to arouse his attention.

"Anyway, is there anywhere here where I can get a change of clothes?"

The sect must have discovered his blood; if they see anyone with burnt clothes and wounded legs, they will undoubtedly suspect that person of the crime; in order to solve that problem, he must change his clothes and keep his wound.

"Three buildings after this place, to the north, there's a cloth shop."

The receptionist responded almost immediately, saying she is relieved MoShen did not leave her completely after insulting her beauty.

MoShen went to the clothing store and bought three sets of robe and pant, as well as an expensive robe that he will use to humiliate Lu Mong and get the favour of the Lu family.

He went into the changing room to change into the black one, completely unaware that a lady in a black veil was closely following him.

Without even looking at her face, one can tell she is very pretty; as she moved silently behind MoShen, her curves were difficult to conceal under her robes.

[Detection of someone following master.]

'What am I being followed for?' He thought to himself, he had no idea someone was following him, and he was praying in his heart that it's not someone from the divine alchemist sect.

"Are you having a good time following me?" MoShen inquired when he arrived at a location with fewer crowds, he was inside one of the private dressing rooms that he had paid for.

However, there was no response.

'Weird, is the system lying or is it... a ghost?' Anyway, since no one is here, I should make things quick and leave.'

With those thoughts, he opened the door. Before entering, he checked to see if anyone was approaching, but they weren't, so he went in.

Inside, there was a large dressing mirror; he approached it and removed his clothes, revealing the burns in his upper torso, which were numerous; however, his eyes were shocked as he saw some of the smaller injuries closing up at a slow pace.

'I guess the system helps me with self-healing, or maybe it's my increased cultivation that helped me; speaking of which, I need to increase my cultivation.' Normal cultivation takes a long time; should I try dual cultivation?'

His cultivation needs to be improved; in this cultivation world, the powerful prey on the weak, and the weak have no voice to retaliate.

MoShen quickly dressed and exited the room, tossing the clothes he had worn previously and storing the others in the spatial ring.

'I need to get a new ring; I remember seeing someone selling this kind of stuff outside.'

As he was about to leave the room, a shadow appeared from nowhere and attacked him before he could even prepare himself.

He was startled, but then he saw the face of a beautiful lady with pink lips and a pretty face; there was a dark veil covering her, but it was lifted the moment she fell on him.

'Who the hell is she, and how did she get into this room in the first place?'

MoShen was startled when she attacked him out of nowhere, without even giving him a chance to defend himself.

However, she is attractive and her age is approximately 5 years older than MoShen; she has a nice body shape that will make guys drool over her beauty; if possible, she can use her beauty to create a colony of men who will serve her because of their desire for her body.

She is currently on top of MoShen, her eyes icy, but there was a tinge of red in her cheek as she looked at him.

"What's going on, who are you, and why are you standing on top of me right now?"

Fortunately, her robe was nothing like that of the divine alchemist Sect, so he mustered the courage to ask who she was.

She looked at him for a long time before speaking.

"Neither of us have ever met before."

'What's her cultivation base, system?'

[5th level, martial lord]

'She's way too powerful.'

"That's not the answer I'm looking for."

"Can you assist me?"

"If we haven't crossed paths, why do you need my assistance?"

"If you do, I'll lavishly reward you."

"Oh, what is it that a Martial Lord like you want from me?"

"Play the role of my fiancee for a week."

MoShen stared at her intently, unable to hear her say those words; however, the lady stared at him with teary eyes, and while she was shocked when MoShen saw through her cultivation, she was confident he was an expert and was happy about it.

She blushed even more after telling him what she needed his help with.
