Chapter 77 - 77. Waking Up I (1/2)

Third person POV

After Hong er filled a quarter of her Qi, she stood up and changed her eye color to black again. She turned around to thank Ah Tong and Ah Xi for transferring their Qi to her. She reassured them that she was fine and no need to worry about her.

Ah Tong: ” Young Miss, won't the people from the slum notice?”

Hong er: ” I had made them unconscious when I released my light magic so no need to worry.”

Ah Xi: ” But what if there was a high skilled mage in the slum?”

Hong er: ” Then we will face the problem ahead. Sometimes we can't fully avoid trouble no matter how strong we are.”

Ah Xi : ” *sigh, but Young Miss, please don't be that careless anymore in the future. Qi deficiency could affect your health.”

Hong er: ” Uhm, I will be more careful.”

They could only sigh in defeat and hide again to protect her from the dark. Hong er dusted off the dirt on her skirt and quickly left the slum before they woke up. Hong er arrived at the inn at 5 AM, the teenage boy was worried about her as she had gone for a long time. For a girl to roam alone in a quiet road was dangerous, he wanted to look for her but he couldn't leave his job or else he would get fired. He worriedly asked Hong er.

The teenage boy: ” Young Miss, are you okay?”

Hong er: ” Uhm, I'm fine. Why are you asking?”

Hong er jokingly asked him.

The teenage boy: ” I forgot to tell you that there is a group of ruffians called Skull Gang. They always hurt and kill people in this town if the citizens didn't give them money. And the worst thing is the mayor of this town ignored the problem even though the citizens had complained about this for many times. Oh, I apologize that I was talking too much.”

Hong er: ” No no, it is fine. It is better for me to know more about this city.”

The teenage boy: ” Then if you don't mind me asking this.”

Hong er: ” Yes?”

The teenage boy: ” You didn't buy the bun?”

Hong er: ” Aiya, the old man's bun had been sold out. What a pity~”

The teenage boy: ” A-ah…”

The teenage boy: ' Who would buy a whole amount of buns in the middle of night?'

Hong er: ” Then, I will go back to my room.”

The teenage boy: ” Ah, yes yes.”

Hong er went upstairs and saw Qiyi and Qier were standing in front of Weisheng's room. Qiyi and Qier noticed Hong er had came back, they silently greeted Hong er. They were worried about Hong er because she hadn't come back for an hour since she went to buy breakfast for them. They were prepared to go wake Meiyun and Huayun up, but Hong er came back before they could go wake them up.

They saw that she didn't bring anything back in her hand. Hong er noticed their thought so she used hand signals to explain it to them. She didn't want Weisheng to hear this as she didn't want him to worry about her.
