Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 142: Chapter 85 Searching for One's Origin_3

Despite her doubts, Hexia decided it was inappropriate to approach further and disturb the temple, so she continued her search for the address on Chenxiang Street, Bamboo Lane.

Sadly, there was nothing related on the Star Network, and some of the information even linked to other star domains.

After leaving the temple, Hexia decided to ask the locals, but unfortunately, they didn't have any leads either.

Feeling disappointed, Hexia prepared to eat something and try the temple again tomorrow.

She sat down in a restaurant, ordered her favorite dishes, and was about to enjoy her meal when a man with silver-white hair approached. He was flipping a folding fan and was dressed in an Eastern-style moon-white robe.

"Hey there, miss~" he struck what he thought was a handsome pose and greeted Hexia.

"Hello, is there something you need?" Hexia looked at the man before her, who seemed to be wearing some kind of perfume.

"I am Feng Jianxue, from the Flying Feather Star Domain." The Flying Feather Star Domain is one of the central star domains of the Federation and is quite prosperous and wealthy.

"Hmm." The girl nodded slightly, still composed.

Seeing that Hexia had no reaction to his appearance and family background, he gave an awkward laugh and continued.

"The Flying Feather Star Domain is exceptionally bustling, with headquarters of many major enterprises located there, including many film and television enterprises. By chance, I am tasked with finding a once-in-a-century jade, to make it into a shining star of the Milky Way."

"So?" The girl tilted her head.

"Ahem, so I feel that you, miss, have the talent in this area, and I am curious if you might be interested in our enterprise."

"No." Hexia shook her head, finding this guy quite suspicious.

"Don't reject it so quickly..." His voice trailed off as he unnoticeably seated himself, continuing to introduce his enterprise.

"Do you know about the currently hot songstress 'White Swan' Audrey?"

"Audrey is indeed a songstress belonging to our enterprise, a true talent with the gift for being a songstress, not some fake merchandise. Miss Audrey just turned 17 and is already a Starshine Level Diva, still in her rising phase..."

As he spoke, he unfolded his personal terminal in his hand, which contained a photo of him with the girl in a white dress. However, it seemed the woman named Audrey appeared quite proud and somewhat disdainful of the man beside her.

As the man rattled on, Hexia was wondering how to interrupt him when a waiter approached.

"Excuse me, are the two of you together?"

"Yes, indeed, please bring me a portion of roasted goose, and add some Elves' clear brew." The man quickly spoke before Hexia could.

Seeing that Hexia was about to refuse, he played his trump card.

"I know where Chenxiang Street is, so please be patient, miss."

Once their ordered dishes were served, he began to eat immediately, devouring the food as if he hadn't eaten in days.

Hexia slowly savored her wontons and bass slices, sipping hot soup before turning her attention to the man opposite her.

"Can you tell me now?"

"Oh, have you finally taken an interest in our enterprise, miss? Actually, the benefits we offer are quite exceptional as well..."

"Stop, you know what I want to ask, right? If you don't say it now, I'm leaving." She had eaten enough by now and wasn't very hungry.

"Alright, alright, just a moment, I'll tell you where Chenxiang Street is." Seeing that Hexia was serious about getting up, he quickly spoke.

"Chenxiang Street is located underground in Jielou City, at the heart of the city. It's said that all the past city masters have lived there, and it's where the ancestral shrine of the former Sword Guardians of Jielou City is."

"Ordinary people don't go there, so not many know about it. I just happened to hear you asking about it on the street, so I came over to see, and I was struck by your stunning beauty, utterly captivated..." Then he went on rambling again.

"How would one get to such a place?" The girl couldn't help but ask. She was just an obscure girl with no power or status.

"Well, I have a clever plan. Please wait until I finish eating, and I will explain everything to you, miss. Oh, by the way, may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

"Hexia." The girl responded crisply, then shook her head.

Though the man before her seemed dubious, she didn't feel any malice from him. Having the talent of a songstress and the boon of a Transcendent Profession, it was rare for anyone to lie in her presence. This was why she remained patient instead of simply turning around and leaving.

She decided to question him for now, as he seemed to know a lot. Additionally, if her mother truly came from Chenxiang Street, didn't that mean her mother was once the kind of lady whose hands had never touched spring water, and for some reason, she had severed ties with her family?

After pondering for a moment and patting the large spider at her feet, Hexia felt a bit more settled.

Coming to Jielou City, she had finally grasped a clue.
