Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 188 - Red Veil Girl

Among the crowd and densely packed humans in the Jade Treasure City, there was a girl with a striking appearance that attracted quite a number of people. But not wanting to look for unnecessary trouble, especially in Jade Treasure City, the girl's observers immediately turned to something else.

It is said to be striking because the clothes the girl wears are all red with some black accents. Plus from his slender body smelled the fragrance of flowers that were as fragrant and alluring.

For those who pay attention to the girl, can see some of the beauty of the face that she has because it is covered in a blood red veil in line with her clothes. His skin was pure white and pale like a white marble.

She was the girl named Yun Lian, the young genius of the Moon Cloud Sect. This beautiful and almost always expressionless girl walked casually down the streets of Treasure Jade City without caring for her three guard elders confused as well as frantically searching for her whereabouts.

Long stay in the sect and preoccupied with endless training made the young soul of Yun Lian rebel and want to seek freedom even if only for a moment, so quietly while her three guards were off guard, she said, he looked for a gap to leave at will.

As far as he went, there were a few things that caught his attention. Something he could not find in the Moon Cloud Sect nor the surrounding cities of the sects in the Red Land Country. He concluded the Jade Treasure City was dozens of times more pleasant than any city he had ever visited.

There were so many shops selling good items as long as Yun Lian stepped foot on the streets, but then she stopped at a shop that was a bit quieter than the other shops. The items sold caught his attention, so Yun Lian decided to stop for a look.

"Miss, is there anything that catches your attention? We sell a lot of nice trinkets that are suitable for a pretty girl like you. Please choose yourself."

A shopkeeper man smiled broadly at the arrival of Yun Lian. For a moment he was stunned by the appearance of the girl and began to issue seducing techniques so that his merchandise could be bought.

"The stuff you guys have is great, I like it. But I can't buy it, I don't bring money." Yun Lian responded with her melodious voice.

The shopkeeper's man was a little surprised and astonished. According to him, from the appearance of Yun Lian should have been the girl from a family of being and carrying quite a lot of money.

"Ah, what a pity." The shopkeeper was suddenly disappointed. It was clearly visible on his face.

"Can I just look around? I rarely see good stuff like you guys sell?"

"Oh, can. Just please. But remember Miss, if you're secretly taking things without paying, don't blame me for being rude." The shopkeeper gave a warning and was wary of Yun Lian.

"I don't bring money doesn't mean I want to steal. If I bring it, I intend to buy a lot of these trinkets." Yun Lian defended herself.

Despite being born and raised in a black school, Yun Lian was never educated as a thief by those closest to her.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes watching Yun Lian while stroking his chin. "Hm, you seem to be telling the truth. All right, I'll be generous to you, Miss."

The shopkeeper watched Yun Lian for a while then took out an item from his merchandise shelf. Black hairpin mixed with gold.

"This hairpin I think suits you, Miss Beautiful. Take it, I'll give it as a gift."

Yun Lian accepted it without hesitation. "Thank you, Uncle."

The shopkeeper nodded slowly while smiling widely. He wanted to say something, but first a voice cut him off.

"Well, what did I find? A girl in red was shopping for jewelry... Hi, pretty lady."

The voice of a young man sounded from the direction beside Yun Lian and the shopkeeper. The young man was wearing clothes made from the skin of a savage beast. His body was stocky and revealed a wide smile full of arrogance.

Yun Lian ignored the greeting of that young man named Wang Bei. He was the representative of the Clever Taring Sect who would attend the Young Cultivator Meeting and become the representative who had last arrived at the meeting hall. But in fact, he was still casually wandering the streets of Jade Treasure City.

"Uncle, thank you. I'll go first."

Yun Lian left without waiting for the response of the shopkeeper man who was too shocked by the appearance of one of the members of the Clever Fearing Sect in his photo. In his mind, hopefully no problems would come his way until he did not have time to respond to Yun Lian.

Seeing the girl who caught his attention leaving just like that, Wang Bei immediately followed.

"Miss, why did you leave me?"

Once again Yun Lian did not respond to Wang Bei, not even assuming the young man existed. Though just now his mood was happy for getting a good item for free, but it was destroyed by the arrival of Wang Bei.

Yun Lian just kept on stepping without caring for Wang Bei who followed her like a chicken.

"Ah, yes my name is Wang Bei. I'm. bla bla bla bla..."

Without being able to prevent Yun Lian, Wang Bei told a long, excited story while accompanying him on his walk. After all Yun Lian had no intention of preventing Wang Bei since she had not considered Wang Bei to exist in the first place. Just let him be Wang Bei while he noticed everything that was of interest to him.

"Miss, if you want something, just say it and I'll buy it for you. Think of it as our introductory gift." Wang Bei was still trying to get Yun Lian's attention.

His efforts were successful, but not as desired.

"no need. I don't need anyone else to give me anything. You just go."

Wang Bei widened his eyes. "Miss, you're not only beautiful, your voice is also melodious, but your words are so piercing." Wang Bei pretended to be hurt. "Come on, no need to hesitate. Oh yeah, I introduced myself. May I know your name, Miss Beautiful?"

"No, and I don't want to tell you. Go away, you're bothering me."

Wang Bei who was trying to be patient started to lose his patience.

"Miss, why are you so expensive? In terms of looks, I don't look bad, do I? Even looks handsome. But you're ignoring me."

Yun Lian remained silent, making Wang Bei growled. His outstretched hand touched Yun Lian's shoulder, making the girl stop. Wang Bei smiled widely without knowing he was already provoking a big problem.

Yun Lian turned around, her mood getting worse and she did not like Wang Bei's touch on her shoulder at all. Half-turned around, he stared and coldly pointed at Wang Bei.

"You really don't understand your limits."

Next to Yun Lian's hand caught Wang Bei's hand which was on his shoulder. With a single swift movement, Yun Lian twisted Wang Bei's large body in midair and slammed it hard onto the ground.
