"But...we'll be married soon anyways..." Rong Jian complained as he followed behind her.

Shen Tianyu ignored him as she looked through the shop's selection of cloth, ranging from the plain sackcloth that very poor peasants usually wear to silk, usually only affordable by the wealthy. Because the village was still out of the way, despite it's size, there wasn't much selections of silk. None of these would ever catch her fancy, normally. She still used to be an official's daughter, after all. No matter how unloved, she'd still have more than a few outfits made of colorful silk. Not to mention when she has now become the leader of two multi-continental business. She soon lost interest and left the shop, her big dog following behind her.

They toured through the town in only one shichen and returned to the inn. Shen Tianyu asked for a bathtub of hot water to be brought to hr room so she could bathe. Rong Jian wanted to guard in front of her door but she adamantly refused so he could only stay cooped up in his room and guard that way, making sure no bad people would try to look. Not that she thought there would be, they were the only customers of the inn and the rest of the employees were downstairs. They were finally able to sleep on a decent surface that night. Camping out on the hard ground with only a cloth to separate the hard earth wasn't much of a comfort. Though they travel a lot and could be said to be used to it, it was still better to have a soft bed and blankets rather than soil and loose clothes accompanied by countless bugs.

The next day, they immediately set out again. Qianlu kingdom was the third largest kingdom on the Dong Qi continent they were currently on. It was located in the East, making it the closest nation to the Forest of Death. Luckily, as long as no one entered it, it wouldn't harm people except for the occasional demonic beasts that came out to hunt when food was scarce. Unfortunately for them, Rong Jian's home kingdom was Rikui kingdom, located on the south of the continent so they had to pass through a nation before they arrived at the edge of their destination. Luckily, though it wasn't the largest, Rikui kingdom was the most advanced and held quite a large amount of clout. If they ever did get into trouble, they can always get help from Rong Jian's adopted family, though Shen Tianyu preferred not to give a bad impression before she even met his family.

...

It seems some higher beings were on their side as they didn't encounter any trouble and restocked their supplies at the Lavender Palace in the capital city before setting off again. Perhaps it was because they traveled too fast that people they had a mind to cause them trouble just couldn't do so. They managed to arrive at Rikui's border in just a little over half a month, a journey that usually took a month and a half if there was no trouble on the road. Now that they were in their, or Rong Jian's, home territory, they can relax a bit more and slowed down their pace to in order to travel more leisurely. Treating this like a vacation, as it more or less was, Rong Jian pointed out the local specialties he knew and showed her the famous tourist places and lesser known gems.

Unlike their trip to Rikui, their journey to the capital, where the Imperial Palace resided, took more than a month. When they finally set foot inside the city, white was seen everywhere, from roofs to the paved ground. And alongside it was bright red that wasn't garish enough to hurt the eyes but noticeable enough to signal the welcoming of a new year. Red lanterns hung on wires between buildings everywhere, their red tassels fluttering in the wind. Many lanterns had well-wishes written on it and the name of the business establishment it came from, a form of advertisement.

Shen Tianyu was wearing a soft green robe with may layers of white underneath to preserve warmth. The coat was a soft and elegant green with smooth white frills on the open edges of the sleeve. Trailing from the girdle down to about her knees, were two ribbons in a slightly darker shade of green. Part of her long black hair was tied in a bun, the rest cascading down her back like a silky waterfall. On the side where the bun was tied was a light blue clip with almost transparent blue narcissus flowers carved on it. In her hair, behind the hair clip, two cerulean amaryllis flowers can be seen, with multiple lines of tiny pale blue beads dangling from it. Whenever she moved her head, there was a light tinkling sound form the clashing of the beads, pleasant and soft, not at all jarring. On top of her shoulders, covering up her slender white neck, that was the healthy amount of slender which looked beautiful and didn't cause people to worry over her health, was white fur. It wasn't sewn onto the robe but was more like a small overcoat or scarf, making it easy to reuse for a different outfit. Her clothes might have looked unnecessarily eye-catching and maybe even gaudy somewhere else. But in the Imperial Capital of Rikui kingdom, He city, it fit just right. In addition, because of her tender-looking skin and slim figure, even if she was a little darker than most noblewomen due to being outside much more often, she actually stood out in a good way. Her barely noticeable tanned skin actually gave a healthy glow to her, contrary to some noblewomen who looked sickly pale due to diet or powder. Even men with women around their arms were taking second glances at her, yet, she acted as if she was unaware of it.
