Vol 5 Chapter 2 (2/2)
“We actually agree with what the lady has said.”
“And if the king dies like that, Wuxi Cave’s monarchy will end and everyone’s lives will improve.”
“You two! I’ll kill you both when we get back!” The male barbarian scolded them but he had no room to consider anything else besides avoiding his lady. The troops that surrounded them did not admonish the two girls either and some were even snickering.
I looked at Lu Bu, who also looked at me, and we didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Umm…”
“Ah, I’m really sorry about interrupting your journey.” Seeing that we had been left alone at the side for a long while noe, the lady hurriedly ran over and bowed as she spologised, “My husband is always so slovenly and wanted to steal some money while we were on our honeymoon so we can have some fun. But to think he actually wanted to steal from the poor. We must seem like a joke.”
“Ah, it’s fine it’s fine, just a misunderstanding.” Before Lu Bu and I regained our senses, Wen Yuan had already caught up and began to speak with the lady, “But a honeymoon huh?”
“That’s right, our king said that there are a lot of tasty foods in the north.”
“Even though what he just wants to avoid the work in the Cave….”
“N, nonsense! I just trust Jinhuaisanjie, that’s all!” The male barbarian protested.
Eh? Why has the atmosphere become so friendly and cordial now? They were just robbers before…
“Speaking of which, where were you all heading to?” The lady asked.
“Ah, we were heading toward Runan, but we took a wrong turn and have to go by a long way now and are unsure of how to make it to our destination.”
Runan. The girl called Ahuina muttered.
“You just need to take a boat from the Yellow River. Runan is at the end of the River.”
“Really!”
“Un, the Yellow River Crossing is a straight road ahead.”
Yellow River Crossing…
“Since you’re headed towards the end of the Yellow River, why don’t you come with us?”
“Eh?” The sudden help was unexpected, and now that lady actually offered to go along with us?
“We were planning to return anyway and to do so, we need to take a boat from the Yellow River as well.”
“Take it as penance for our king’s crimes.”
“Silly king.”
“Why is it always my fault in the end?! I’m the king!”
“I’m your lady!”
“I’m your subordinate!!”
“What’s so special about being my subordinate!”
They began arguing again.
After that, we learnt they were indeed from Nanman. The man was called Meng Huo while his lady was Zhurong s.h.i.+.
