Change the Course to North-Northwest (1)
A-Qing demonstrated judgment befitting a person of the modern era.
If you run away half-heartedly, you will surely be caught.
It was a lesson taught by many modern stories.
As such, she spent ten days solely running, eating, and sleeping.
But at long last, Qing was finally able to let loose and once again immersed herself in the hobby she picked up in Murim.
It was gourmandism.
Ah, the fragrance of this chilled inn.
It has truly been a long time of humiliation
As she was sitting at the table, the server approached her.
The expression on his face was distinctly uncomfortable, though.
With the maturity of a second-year living in Murim, she now knew the dining etiquette of the Central Plains.
In an inn, the seating arrangement was important.
The best seats were considered to be at the center and by the window and the value of a seat decreased the further away it got from these spots.
The worst seats were those near the back door leading to the backyard.
Those who ate cheaply should automatically go to the worst seats.
It was an unspoken rule of the inn.
However, A-Qing boldly took a seat by the window where the sunlight shone brightest.
After only running, eating, and sleeping for ten days, she looked like a complete mess.
As such, it would be odd if the servers expression was bright and welcoming when A-Qing took the best seat.
However, all these rules meant nothing in front of a sword.
The server did not dare to say anything else and only acted a bit rudely because of the sword A-Qing leaned on the table.
What would you like?
Kekek..
A-Qing let out a bizarre laugh.
At that moment, when the servers face crumpled, A-Qing slammed a silver sycee1ancient Chinese currency. Made of purely gold or silver. on the table!
Heuk!
Thats right. Its a silver sycee. Bring me the best and most delicious dishes you have. Three of them. And bring alcohol. The expensive kind.
Understood!
The server took a deep breath.
THE GUEST HAS ORDERED A BRAISED PORK BELLY! SWEET AND SOUR FISH! STEAMED BABY FISH! AND BAMBOO LEAVED LIQUOR AS A SIDE!
The more expensive the order, the louder it should be announced.
It was a servers duty.
This customer has ordered expensive dishes!
Everyone in the inn, look here!
This person is ultra-rich. Ultra-rich, I say!
Through this, it was evident that the Chinese truth of vulgar materialism had been a characteristic of the continental nation since ancient times.
But you can only know once you experience it yourself.
It feels fucking lit!
The other customers in the inn looked at A-Qing with envy.
For example, it was like this.
Gosh, Braised Pork Belly, Sweet and Sour Fish, and even Boiled Baby Fish!
Oi, oi, how wealthy is this guy!
And then, the Greatest Beauty in the City (A Paragon of Virtue) should come over and hand her a piece of bamboo paper, but
Tsk.
A-Qing frowned.
It was because the imagined Greatest Beauty in the City (A Paragon of Virtue) was looking down on A-Qing with a contemptuous expression.
In Luoyang, A-Qing had her fill of pleasing sights.
And even then, not once did she receive a friendly glance.
Am I selfish for just wanting someone to smile for me?
It was at that moment that the server appeared and carefully placed down the alcohol and dried snacks before retreating backwards.
At any rate, A-Qing was in a good enough mood to spout all such nonsense.
There were three occasions when she was elated.
Either when delicious food was in front of her.
Or when enjoying getting soaked via a serious life-and-death duel.
Or when she had a lot of money.
In that sense, the past ten days of fleeing were more than worth it.
Though she didnt know her name, the Lady from the Black Shadow Association seemed to be dearly loved by her family.
And it was because parental love sometimes manifested in the form of gold.
Moreover, she could tell how spoiled she was by her shitty behavior and Evil Karma.
This was why home discipline was important, you know?
The gold from more than two coffins were enough as a lesson fee for the Black Shadow Association Leader.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Thats what you get for letting your child grow up crooked. She croaked because she didnt know her place. Fuck around and find out. And she found out.
A-Qing giggled as she just handed over the chopsticks for her to eat.
Okay, well then. Sit here, yes, yes, Kid. You know how to use chopsticks, right? Help yourself, okay? Im a cold person who doesnt go easy on someone just because theyre a child. After all, one must know how to fend for themselves. And of course, that includes eating.
A-Qing started to eat ferociously.
The child hesitated at first, but seeing the dishes quickly disappearing, she bravely reached out with the chopsticks.
From then on, there were basically two beggars at the table.
It was during this time when it happened.
Myeong!
With a scream-like shout, a woman came rushing in.
A-Qing could have easily stopped her since she was a Master, but she let her be because of her desperate expression and complete focus on the child.
The woman embraced the child as if snatching her away.
-
T-Thank you! Great and Honorable Expert!
A middle-aged woman, about the age of a mother, kept bowing her head.
Her name was Yang Sowol.
The gratitude was so overwhelming that it was actually somewhat burdensome.
Its just because the kid was cute, thats all. Jangmyeong? Haoo olb iz our Jangmyeongie?3baby talk. How old is our Jangmyeongie? Also when ie is placed in the end, its a way to show familiarity/fondness for someone younger than you
Instead of answering, the child blushed and averted her gaze.
Aw, look at this little kid being all cute.
It was right when A-Qing was smiling warmly.
Um, Great Expert..
Yes?
Jangmyeong has turned sixteen this year
What?
A-Qing looked at the childs thin appearance.
No matter what angle she looked at her at, the child did not seem to be over ten years old.
The child is a bit frail, so she hasnt grown as much as other children her age.
Mother, it seems to be more than just a bit.
A-Qing held her tongue.
Now that she knew his age, the childs flushed face seemed to mean something different.
It wasnt bashfulness, but shame!
If she was sixteen, so like.
It had been so long since she attended school that she couldnt immediately match the school year with age.
1st grade in elementary school is at 8 years old? Is that right? So then, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
A-Qing folded her fingers one by one and barely finished counting.
Shes a 3rd grader in middle school4basically in American terms, shes a high school freshman? This little kid?
Since she made such a comment in front of a middle school 3rd grader, it was only natural for the child to feel ashamed.
A-Qing was astonished.
And so, she alternated her gaze between Yang Sowol and Jin Jangmyeong.
Yang Sowol was a beautifully aged madam.
Even though her attire was simple, there was a certain dignity about her.
Jin Jangmyeong was a little kid with hollow cheeks.
The child looks like she hasnt eaten, but the mom looked completely fine?
Could it bePerhaps?
Moreover, the child couldnt even speak.
Yet still, she had let her guard down because she seemed like a decent lady due to her Righteous Karma.
A-Qings gaze sharpened.
Uh, Great Expert, this is a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?
The child is a bit, no, very sick, so..
Yang Sowols expression was filled with sorrow and apology for her daughter.
It was undeniable evidence of her deep maternal love.
Ah, it was a misunderstanding, after all.
A-Qing felt awkward and embarrassed.
Did you perhaps also take the wrong herbal medicine or something.?
.What in the world are you saying. You ugly thing.
A-Qing was startled.
She spoke!
Wow, what is this! So she can speak, after all!
No, wait, but at sixteen, of course she would be able to speak.
Rather than that? Did I hear? Something? Wrong? The content? Seemed? A bit?
Ehhhh? After all I fed her, what the fuck is up with her attitude?
1
ancient Chinese currency. Made of purely gold or silver.
2
famous specialist when it comes to childcare. has a lot of korean TV shows that she hosts where she provides advice and therapy for dysfunctional children
3
baby talk. How old is our Jangmyeongie? Also when ie is placed in the end, its a way to show familiarity/fondness for someone younger than you
