BXBX NOVEL Chapter 10: Stroll
Chapter 10: Stroll
After dressing up, Alizejh and I were currently eating our breakfast inside a cafe. Since it was a day off for Alizejh, we decided to take a stroll in the city.
Every single person on the street was rich. Gold chain, red cashmere fur capes, it almost seemed as if all the normal people had suddenly disappeared, probably because of the event.
There was a lot of tension in the city, because of the Auction.
There were rumors that some robbers were going to try and steal all the auction items.
A group called \'Joker\', is one of the most famous robber groups of the current century.
Although no one knew the authenticity of the rumors, the auction personnel surely did not take jt lightly. After all Regent Auction was the greatest auction of all time.
It was the sole reason why influentials would come to the banquet.
Countless. Priceless. Rarest of the rare treasures would be sold. A few could be treasures from different places in the celestial or some could be from the lost ruins in the Lower World.
After rating a lot of clothes, and seeing Alizejh\'s every outfit for four hours I felt a little exhausted. I owed her this much for the morning.
"Haaa..."
"Brother... why are you sighing?" She asked with a worried tone.
I could not help but show a disgusted expression to her. If she thought I can not see through her worry facade then she must be dumb.
"Nothing much... it\'s no matter of concern." I gave a fake smile to which she also gave a fake smile and shoved the cloth bag in my hands.
"Buy them for me!" She pleaded.
My face must have been looking like a donkey at the moment, probably because Alizejh is the one who gives me my pocket money and she is also the one who is making me spend it.
Does this not mean... I am not getting any money in reality???
Clothes are pretty expensive after all.
Oh my god.... she is shameless.
As we were buying the clothes I came across a conversation between two people.
"Did you hear about \'Joker\' they might steal during the Auction?" One of the workers said.
"No I don\'t think they have the guts to do that... they have already offended many countries and people, this would be like digging their own grave."
"Noo I don\'t think that they are afraid of anything! They have never failed nor are they afraid or else they would have been caught a long time ago!"
"Well, you might be right... anyway, I have a feeling that we can see a lot of drama."
I was not interested in their conversation so I left after buying the clothes for Alizejh.
We bought an ice cream and started to walk in a random direction.
Sometimes I still wonder what that page from the void was... I could clearly remember the pain my astral form had felt.
Normally it should have been impossible to feel pain or lose consciousness in an astral form. It was very peculiar!
The language the text was written in was pretty mysterious.
I sighed as I licked my chocolate ice cream.
At that moment, Alizejh pulled my hand smirking evilly, trying to hide her excitement.
She pulled me into a dark alley, I immediately gulped my saliva. What is she going to do now?
Well if you wanna do that then I am fine with it...
We traveled a bit and then finally reached the end.
A bright light invaded my eyes as a huge bustling noise entered my ears. Elves, dwarves, demons...
She smiled smugly,
"Welcome to the Black Market.".
At this point, I was quite a lot stunned. The surroundings were actually not half bad in terms of beauty, reminded me a bit of the fairy markets.
As I kept on observing the place, reminiscing about my homeland, Alizejh suddenly waved towards someone and went running towards them, talking with them cheerfully.
At that moment the old man waved towards me and asked Alizejh,
"Who is he?
"Is he your husband?" The old woman asked nonchalantly.
"Wait what?! You got yourself married?!" The old man exclaimed with a face full of shock. The couple didn\'t believe her. After all, they knew that she was the cold prodigy of the Enforcer Department and knew about her family situation.
The old woman came closer to me to analyze my face and nodded to herself while muttering, glaring at where my penis is supposed to be.
"Hmmm, I can definitely see why she would choose you."
Alizejh\'s face reddened but she didn\'t deny being called my wife.
Meanwhile, I wondered if they were blind. It is not hard to see that we are twins... after all, we almost got the same exact face and silver hair.
Tugging my hand, I reluctantly followed the old couple as we went inside an Antique shop belonging to them.
It had a peculiar old smell to it, making me want to sniff more. I have always liked old smells especially the smell of ancient books.
The entire shop was made out of wood and in glass cases were many accessories and other items,
However, none of them caught my attention. Most of the shelves were empty. It seemed like the items of this shop had also been given to the Auction House to auction off.
At that moment the old male elf came out with fairy ale. Dumbstruck, I started to stare at the old elf.
If there was one thing the Fairy Realm was famous for then it would be alcohol and Fairy Ale was a popular product that we sold realm-wide.
A pretty common drink in the Fairy Realm even beggar fairies would drink it. However, it would be sold at expensive prices to other realms.
It could be called the national drink.
The man then started to boast about fairy ale and how he had gotten it through so much trouble and connections.
Then he started to pour it into glasses and gave one glass to all of us.
Similar to a glutton, he gave us less and gave himself more. I did not mind it, I was excited to taste the ale.
Since I was stuck in the black abyss and then in a human world, I had started to appreciate food.
I stared at my ale with longing eyes, sniffing it from time to time. It was what one was supposed to do before drinking it back in the fairy realm.
The old man stared at me with an irritated gaze and snorted disdainfully, probably wondering why I am not drinking it after all alcohol evaporated into the air.
"Alizejh your husband is quite weird..." The old female elf whispered.
Alizejh ignored the woman as she focused on her own drink.
Tears welled out of my eyes and fell on the ground as I kept on staring at my glass. All the people in the room seemed weirded out.
"If you don\'t want to drink I can drink it.."
I immediately took a sip of the ale, tears started to well up even more as I started to drink it. It was horrible. Lowest quality fairy ale of the fairy realm.
I had never even tastes this quality despite being a fairy, probably because I had better drinks reserved for me as a king.
Even the lowest quality was much more better in quality compared to human alcohol. To be expected afterall Fairy Alcohol is fermented using spirits and is handmade.
Noticing the expression of the couple, Alizejh tried to change the topic and asked the old lady,
"Old Yemi, can you make a divination?"
Yemi nodded understanding the intention underlying what she said to make the awkward environment better.
I was a bit shocked when I heard divination. Divination was one of the rarest classes of races across realms.
Only a handful of people gave it and can predict out someone\'s fate. Of course, fate isn\'t absolute because many people in the world are fateless and keep on impacting upon fate and so are called sons of fate.
The old elf man seemed proud and proudly wrapped his arms and gazed towards his wife. Although he had seen divination done by his wife many times he still loved to watch it.
"What do you want me to divine upon?" Yemi asked with a smile on her face. She was also excited to divine.
She hadn\'t divined in a long time and wanted to try it out.
"Of course love." She said shamelessly.
Yemi laughed, all females have their insecurities. Even if they are stronger, no woman wants to see their man snatched away.
They sat at a table, the mood was very jolly. At that moment Yemi held Alizejh and my hand with both of her hands making it into a message chain.
She closed her eyes as she began to mutter something. It felt like as if she was praying when she started to mutter. Her eyes were deeply closed into immense concentration.
At that moment I felt the familiar energy trying to enter inside my body which I gradually accepted as I knew that it would tell me my fate.
After a few moments, the old woman started to laugh out loud, tears were almost coming out of her eyes as she looked at Alizejh and me with an amused expression.
Then her face turned totally serious and looked at Alizejh with a very serious face.
"Your husband is quite the playboy. He will capture the hearts of many and make a jolly family. Almost everyone in his harem will be tamed including you and that\'s not all every one of them are at the peak of power...oh what\'s this.... your husband is pretty amazing! It seems like that\'s not all! In his harem, some of them will also be celestials! I can\'t peer more!" She sighed regretfully but looked at me in a different light.
She was utterly aghast and looked at me then Alizejh,
"How did you find someone like him?!"
She had a surprised expression. Celestials were not ordinary matters. This meant that this young man in front of her would maybe ascend into the celestial realm someday.
The old man snorted and had a changed view of me and looked at me in a different light but he still didn\'t try to hide his annoyance. After all, I was weird as fuck in his view.
Alizejh blushed a bit but was actually feeling hurt in her heart when she heard that I would have my own harem.
\'This might be the only time I\'ll get to bully him!\'
She clenched her hands and put one on my stomach and pouted while nibbling on my earlobe.
\'Better if I bully him right now as much as I can!\'
Staring at me with disdain, she harrumphed,
"You dare talk about having a harem! You need to be taught a good lesson."
Physically cringing, I felt a bit weak. I just taught a lesson yesterday to a girl and now she is my wife!
At that moment I noticed that the old woman was still holding my hand and her eyes were closed in concentration.
It seemed that curiosity had got the upper hand of her when she came to know about my divinity of ascending to the celestial realm.
So she tried to peer into my fate.
Even Alizejh and the old elf man were looking at me then her with a curious expression. It was not every day that someone could ascend.
Even for emperors, it was immensely hard. Only some of the demon apostles of the seven sins had ascended before.
Even in the greed family, only my supposed grandfather had ascended into the celestial realm.
