Yan Xiaobao ran down the stairs, slipped through the back door unnoticed, and slowly made his way through the alley, turning towards the main street.
Yan Xiaobao's plan was simple—he wanted to explore the city and see if he could stumble across treasures. Finding his way back to the Mercenary Guild didn't need to be rigid; the young man boldly strode onto the bustling road.
He clearly garnered a lot of attention. Children pointed at his hair, their mouths busy asking their mothers about the beautiful Angel walking among them. This led to their parents' awkward blushes, hastily apologizing to others around them.
Most citizens mistook Yan Xiaobao for being part Demon Beast, which explained his striking yet distinctive appearance. Xu Yue, however, didn't seem bothered by the brief glance she gave him before he wandered into the first market he encountered, a cheerful smile lighting his face.
