Chapter 141: Shopping With Irene-1

"I am Lyla, an official holy knight, and I would like to ask you some questions," Lyla stated, looking at Li Wei and Irene as she showed her official badge.

Hearing this, Li Wei became relieved, knowing she didn't find out about Irene, and was about to reply when Irene did, before he could say anything.

"Miss Lyla is a holy knight, so of course, we will answer your questions," Irene replied, nodding with a respectful expression.

To Lyla and her companions, she appeared a young girl, so they didn't think too much, but to Li Wei, who can see her original appearance, became stunned at her expression.

'Looks like it's not her first time dealing with them like this,' he cursed in his mind, watching her calm eyes when Lyla started to inquire.

"I haven't seen you both inside the city before. Did you both just arrive? Also, can I know your names for easier conservation?" Lyla asked.

To which Irene nodded again and replied,

"Miss Lyla, we were on a quest to the earth and just returned. Because of this you haven't seen us inside the city. By the way, I am Irene, and he is Brother Wei, my party member," she said, pointing at Li Wei.

'At least tell fake names idiot!' Li Wei shouted in his mind as he looked at Lyla and her companions, who wore a stunned look.

When suddenly he got a sound transmission from Irene.

(Just leave this to me. I am familiar with their questions and routine), she said with a confident tone, making Li Wei speechless.

'Just how many times she ran away before like this,' he muttered in his heart, wondering if it was really the right thing to tag along with her.

While Lyla and her companions came out of a stunned look and looked at them strangely.

"Miss Irene and Mr. Wei, I apologize for bothering you, but I wonder if you can introduce your last names to me. I want to check something," Lyla asked with narrowed eyes.

'Damn, we are going to get caught,' Li Wei thought feeling bitter as prepared for escape.

However, unlike him, Irene was still calm and replied.

"Of course, Miss Lyla. My surname is Smith, and so is Brother Wei's," she said.

"Okay, then please wait a minute," Lyla nodded and took out a communication tool, asking her companions to check their names in the register.

While Li Wei channeled his MP silently for his shadow step in large amounts.

'What a bad luck,' he thought, sighing inwardly.

When Lyla got a reply from her companion and turned towards them with stunned look.

"Miss Irene and Mr. Wei, you both are married couples, so you should stay away from dangers. Also, I am sorry for taking your time, and you can go now," she replied, making Li Wei dumbfounded.

"Haha, Miss Lyla, I want to stay at home too, but my husband wanted to see the new world too badly, so he took a simple quest and brought me along," Irene replied, hugging his left hand with a shy expression.

While Li Wei, who was still dumbfounded, suddenly felt a soft sensation on his hand, making him stiff.

'What the hell is going on here; can someone explain to me?' he screamed in his mind, putting a calm expression with full force.

But he was still thinking how the things reached here so fast and why Lyla and her companions didn't find out about their identities.

He had a guess about this, but he wasn't sure and could only wait to ask after separating from Lyla and her companions.

"Then I will not disturb you both anymore," Lyla said and took her leave with her companions, leading them into a nearby alley where she could see Li Wei and Irene without alerting them.

Watching her like this, her companion Ava became puzzled.

"Miss Lyla, what happened? Why are you still observing them? There is no way Priestess Irene will cling to any man, so it's useless to go after them," Ava commented, shaking her head.

"I know this, Ava, but don't you think those couples are suspicious, especially the man Wei Smith? He seems to be a little anxious after seeing us," Lyla replied, telling her observation.

"Miss Lyla, you mean the man knows something about Priestess Irene?" Ava asked with a stunned expression.

However, Lyla shook her head.

"No, I don't think so, but I feel he is a bad guy, and somehow I can't shake this feeling," she muttered with a frown and looked at her other two subordinates, Mia and Isla.

"Mia, Isla, go follow him secretly, and if he is acting suspicious, inform me," she instructed.

"Yes, Miss Lyla, as you wish," her companions nodded and disappeared using stealth, not knowing that Li Wei and Irene already knew that they are keeping an eye on them.

"Irene, how long are you going to hold me like this? Also, can you explain what happened just now?" Li Wei asked, looking at Irene, who was still hugging his arm tightly, making him feel the soft sensation.

However, Irene didn't seem to notice it and smiled.

"Brother Wei, we have to hold on like this until Mia and Isla stop following us," she replied and continued.

"As for what happened just now, it's simple. I asked someone to write our names on the register after we left the villa, and for our marriage status, I have to do it because we are both orphans in the register and will make others suspicious," she explained as she walked along with him.

While hearing this, Li Wei finally understood what happened and confirmed his guess.

The register had the records of everyone, but it doesn't mean it will be added automatically, especially newborn kids who don't even have names.

Because of this, a few persons in every city were allowed to insert the name on the list manually; of course, they can't erase it later for security purposes.

But this didn't stop Irene from taking advantage of this, or maybe she threatened the person to do it, and it worked.

"Don't think you can also do this. Those persons are all officials, and they wouldn't do it even if you threatened them; it's just that the one I contacted is a special one," Irene remarked, watching his thoughtful expression.

"Oh, so it was like this," Li Wei nodded, feeling disappointed as he was thinking about adding Diablo and Lucifer to the list.

"By the way Irene, do you know those soft things are touching my hands for a while?" Li Wei mentioned suddenly, making her stiff.

"You... you are not allowed to think about that, and don't mention it again; also, if I didn't do this, Lyla would've gotten suspicious," Irene replied with a glare as her face steamed like a hot bun.

Lyla and her companions knew she wouldn't do anything like this, because of that she did, making their doubts disappear about her being Irene.

It did come at a price, but knowing her future runway plans will depend on what she was about to buy, she had no choice but to do this.

As for other plans, she already used them and certainly, Lyla and her companions wouldn't fall for the same trick.

'Looks like I can't escape without anyone helping me now,' Irene thought with a sigh as she ran out of plans for not getting caught alone.

While Li Wei looked at Irene with troubled eyes.

'Did I trigger the flag, or am I overthinking it?' he thought, sighing inwardly while also praying he was overthinking it.

Irene hugged him now without much thought, but if it was someone else here other than him, would she do the same?

There wasn't even any need to ask her about this as he got the answer.

'Ugh, XinXin, you have pushed your cute brother into some serious trouble,' he thought with a sigh when they both arrived at the destination.

"Brother Wei, look, that's Nana Fashion, the shop sister Li told me about," Irene said, pointing towards the shop with an excited expression.

"Yes, this is the one," Li Wei nodded recognising the shop as he came here before with Li Xin and others.

"Brother Wei, then let's go inside," Irene replied, pulling him inside the shop like lovers while Li Wei showed an unwilling expression as he got pulled inside.

Just as they entered a beautiful young woman inside the shop greeted them.

"Welcome to Nana's Fashion. We have all kinds of dressing and fashion clothes available for both women and men."

"By the way, I am Nancy, and I will help you with your shopping, so can I know about the preference of dressing? We have special dresses for couples too, and I think you would definitely like it," Nancy suggested without giving them any chance to reply.

"Miss Nancy, can you show the dresses for her, and it will be better if you show every type," Li Wei stated, pointing at Irene while ignoring Nancy's suggestions.
