The two of them stopped in front of a stall where the owner displayed various wood-carved bead bracelets.

Lv Qingzhu took a look and discovered that they were all fake aged products. She picked one with a decent appearance, rubbed it a few times in her hand, brought it to her nose for a sniff, and then frowned.

The owner, seeing Lv Qingzhu’s expression, sensed that she was an expert.

Just as Lv Qingzhu was about to leave, the owner suddenly said, "Miss, hold on, I also have sandalwood ones." As he spoke, the owner pulled out a wood-carved bead bracelet from under the stall and handed it to Lv Qingzhu.

Lv Qingzhu turned back to take a glance at the item in the owner’s hand, grabbed it, and examined its color in the sunlight. She then took another sniff, and indeed, there was a faint, elusive fragrance.

Do not underestimate this fragrance. Though it is faint, it can last for a hundred years.

Lv Qingzhu held the wood-carved bead bracelet and smiled slightly, saying, "Indeed it’s sandalwood! Do you have any that aren’t aged? I’ll buy two strands!"

The owner’s old face slightly flushed. His gaze swept over the moundlike Ah Mo and her naturally fierce face, and he said, "Yes, yes..."

As he spoke, the owner bent down and retrieved two brand new bracelets from under the stall. Lv Qingzhu touched them and smiled, "These bracelets are quite nice..."

Duan Rong walked in from the alley entrance. He didn’t often come to this antique street anymore, only occasionally to pick up some books. Over the past year, he noticed quite a few shop owners had changed.

"These days, business is hard."

Duan Rong walked slowly, suddenly noticing two people standing in front of a stall ahead.

He observed the backs of the two people. The one in a water dress with a sword was normal, but the person beside her was as massive as a mountain of flesh.

Moreover, judging by the hairstyle and clothing from the back, it seemed to be a woman. Duan Rong walked past the stall, giving them an involuntary second glance.

At this moment, the stall owner also saw Duan Rong and enthusiastically called out, "Give it a touch, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you!"

Duan Rong heard the owner call him to "give it a touch" and instantly had a black line across his forehead.

At this moment, Ah Mo and Lv Qingzhu turned together to look at Duan Rong behind them.

As the two figures turned, the intense contrast and collision made Duan Rong hold his breath, his heart jumping to his throat...

Ah Mo’s face was fiercely menacing. Although she was smiling, it was chilling to the bone!

Lv Qingzhu held a sword in her left hand, hanging down, while lightly grasping a string of wood-carved bead bracelets in her right. Her waist was as straight as a sword; though her smile was charming, her eyes were sharp and restrained...

Although the owner warmly called out for Duan Rong to give it a touch, Duan Rong did not respond to him, simply walking nonchalantly past the stall.

Ah Mo nudged Lv Qingzhu with her elbow and whispered, "Miss, the owner called him to give it a touch?"

"I know." Lv Qingzhu turned back and started chatting with the owner, who quickly explained to her the origin of Duan Rong’s nickname "Give it a touch."

Lv Qingzhu’s eyes shimmered with interest. She had always been extremely curious since childhood, with a love for all things strange and unusual, people included.

Lv Qingzhu paid for two bracelets, one for her and one for Ah Mo, and the two of them turned and left the stall.

Lv Qingzhu immediately saw Duan Rong ahead, turning as if heading toward a store by the street. Just then, Lv Qingzhu suddenly knit her brows, and nearly at the same moment, Ah Mo’s large hand flashed, gripping close to her side. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

As Duan Rong turned ahead, his peripheral vision caught sight of Lv Qingzhu and Ah Mo. Ah Mo’s moundlike physique was truly eye-catching, towering like a landmark amidst the crowd.

Duan Rong’s gaze shifted. Maybe once he wouldn’t have noticed, but now with a glance, he could see that a pickpocket had approached Lv Qingzhu.
