Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 220 Comparing Body Shapes

"Young master, please help me up, I'm afraid I'll fall."

A soft, cute voice came from inside the carriage.

Gu Qingyue, with her delicate, willow-like figure, extended a slender hand and grasped Mu Yun Chu's wrist.

Mu Yun Chu: ...Little girl, do you want to play like this?

He helplessly revealed a hint of doting affection as he helped Gu Qingyue down.

Watching the two walk away hand in hand, the coachman in black standing by the carriage thought: ...

Upon reaching the door, Mu Yun Chu raised her hand and gently knocked. The door creaked open from the inside.

Mu Yun Chu casually pulled a token from her sleeve. The middle-aged man who opened the door glanced at it, nodded, and let the two of them into the courtyard.

Gu Qingyue and her companion followed the man through a maze of twists and turns for about fifteen minutes until they arrived at the door of an inconspicuous room.

He pressed a button near the door, and the door suddenly opened.

Gu Qingyue's damned hearing immediately noticed a series of noisy sounds coming from somewhere, seemingly very far away.

The three quietly walked inside. The man pressed on the wall again, and in one corner of the small house, the floor suddenly opened to one side, revealing a dark underground passage.

The man first pulled a small torch from the wall and led the two down into the secret passage.

After walking for less than fifteen minutes, they saw a tall iron gate. The man took out a key, opened the gate, and led the two inside.

The moment Gu Qingyue stepped through the gate, she felt for a moment that the scene before her was very similar to a drug den in her previous life.

Oh no, it's the black market!

She didn't just sell drugs; she also frequented similar places in an attempt to catch a major drug lord.

I never imagined that there were black markets in ancient times, especially in a small town on the border between these two countries. It was indeed an inconspicuous place.

"Young master, do you have a private room reserved?"

As soon as they entered, a capable servant ran over. He wasn't surprised at all that the two of them were wearing masks, which made Gu Qingyue a little curious.

"Hmm," Mu Yun Chu tilted her head and hummed a single word through her nose.

She looked up and gazed into the distance, and wow!

What kind of place is this, a gathering place for all sorts of monsters and demons!

This was a vast underground market.

The roof is very high, and many large and small houses have been added, all of which are brightly lit and full of guests.

Almost every guest wore a mask or a veil, and some even had strangely dressed people with patterns painted on their faces, making it difficult to tell what they actually looked like. There were men and women, young and old.

Gu Qingyue even saw a young boy selling pastries as he walked through the streets and alleys; he was probably only eight or nine years old.

He skillfully promoted his food among a group of people, clearly a regular customer.

Gu Qingyue glared at Mu Yun Chu with annoyance. Why didn't you tell her that there was such a place before you came?

She actually has a camera in her online space. Although it's not as convenient as a phone, she doesn't know if it will be enough to take a few pictures.

Will I be burned as a monster?

This place is so much fun, isn't it?

Like the black market or demon market in the fantasy dramas she had glimpsed in her previous life?

Gu Qingyue thought about it and decided against it. If she took it out, Mu Yun Chu would probably think she was a monster first!

Suppressing her burgeoning desires, she took a step toward the first small house.

The exterior of the small house is covered with all sorts of strange patterns, and the original wood-colored plaque reads: Jiumu Pavilion.

There was a small flower in the upper left corner of the signboard, somewhat like a cherry blossom. Gu Qingyue paused for a moment, then stepped into the shop.

As soon as she entered, the shopkeeper greeted her. She was a charming woman of about thirty years old, and her slender waist as she walked over left Gu Qingyue in awe.

"Oh my, it's a young lady! Judging from your clothes, you must be from a wealthy and noble family. May I ask where you come from? What do you need from my shop?"

Gu Qingyue touched her nose. Wow, that voice was so sweet it could kill you.

Seeing the male customers in the store casting infatuated glances at her, the woman proudly puffed out her impressive breasts and scrutinized Gu Qingyue from head to toe.

Feeling scrutinized like that, Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and suddenly understood her intention, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Just browsing around, please make way."

Gu Qingyue raised her hand to touch her hair and jade hairpin. She also puffed out her exquisite breasts, arrogantly pushed aside the woman's alluring figure, and squeezed in.

As a former top agent who frequented all sorts of high-end gatherings, and as the head of Moonshadow Pavilion, could I be outdone by someone like this? Of course not!

Gu Qingyue childishly compared her figure with the woman in front of her.

She glanced down at her and saw that the other woman's breasts were indeed quite impressive, bigger than her own peaches, at least two cup sizes larger. So, she had lost?!

But she's still young, so there's still room for her to grow, isn't there?

You may lose in terms of physique, but you can't lose in terms of spirit!

She raised her chin even higher.

Mu Yun Chu, who was playing with the jade cicada outside the door, smiled and shook her head with amusement, standing there watching Gu Qing Yue from afar.

At this moment, Gu Qingyue no longer cared about comparing her figure with the alluring shopkeeper; she felt that her eyes weren't enough to take it all in.

Suddenly, I remembered the ancient-style small town I saw in Rhino Town when I first came to this world, which was similar to a certain Wu town. This place is surprisingly similar.

She carefully picked up a beautifully carved chrysoberyl cat's-eye bracelet and played with it in her hand.

Cat's eye stones were also a very valuable gemstone in a previous life.

A golden cat's eye rough stone once fetched a high price of over six million.

A chrysoberyl cat's-eye ring once fetched a record price of over ten million yuan at auction.

However, in this ancient era, she knew little about women's jewelry and had almost never seen such gemstones in jewelry stores.

Especially rare are strings of these exquisite beads!

Although the grains are a bit small, it doesn't diminish their preciousness at all.

Gu Qingyue looked around and saw that everything was indeed very rare! She also saw some other rare gemstones or jade on the shelf where jewelry was displayed.

Why not sell them in jewelry stores outside?

If the problem isn't with the gemstones themselves, then the origin of these pieces of jewelry is questionable.

However, it's none of my business.

Thinking of the various jewels piled up in her space right now, Gu Qingyue smiled with satisfaction.

After putting down the bracelet, she saw something very special on the other shelf: a long, fiery red whip made of animal hide.

She leaned closer to examine it carefully, but couldn't tell what kind of animal skin it was made of.

The workmanship is extremely exquisite, with layers of cloud-patterned edges pressed very finely, and some areas even have patterns engraved to match the leather texture.

Gu Qingyue was somewhat shocked. Based on her experience of designing many exquisite jewelry pieces in her previous life, the craftsman who made this whip was at least at the master level.

She touched it through the half-open wooden frame; it was warm to the touch.

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and picked up the whip.

"Li Niang, how much is this? I'll take it," a clear, melodious female voice rang out in the shop.

Gu Qingyue turned her head, and a woman in a blue cloak with delicate features looked at Gu Qingyue, who was wearing a scarlet dress, with disdain, and raised the whip in her hand, very proud.
