Chapter 5: Encounter in the Town

One can feel that as the internal anger and malicious curses intensify, the effectiveness of Channing's commands is continuously diminishing... Yet, there remains a reluctance to leave the city gate

"Gudong." Mingxi swallowed hard, then looked up again; it was not Channing, but that little attacker!

Upon returning to the inn, Channing unexpectedly sat at the table drinking.

What? It's me again! Mingxi jumped up

She was almost in tears, waiting for you all! However, when it came to saying who she was waiting for, she couldn't articulate it. Considering her own miserable situation, she could only let her face fall and say: "Woe is me, I have been mistreated..."

Upon seeing this, Mingxi also sat down at the table and poured a glass of water

Valley, one of the top ten good men of the new century! Wrapped in a cloak, eating oatmeal cakes, life has never been so fulfilling

Running while feeling frustrated, sigh, I clearly haven't done anything, yet I've ended up at odds with a group of countries that are obviously strong and each one is better than Channing, this feeling is truly ...! ... frustrating!

Hmm. Channing's gaze was icy

"Nonsense, are you expecting me to go instead?" Channing frowned, noticing that Mingxi had no intention of leaving. "I command you, Mingxi, to guard the city gate over there for me!"

With this addition from Channing, there are nearly 200 gold coins in total, including the purple gold coins

"It looks like..." Mo Feite stroked his chin, "Who dares to mistreat you? We will help you seek justice!"

What is it? That little guy, upon closer inspection, truly looks more and more masculine! Such a strong presence

It is unclear how much is enough; she only knows that a grueling trip for the Fiery Fire Mercenary Corps amounts to merely 300 gold coins, and that is calculated per person. With around twenty individuals, it is already quite good for each to receive more than ten, not to mention the injuries sustained during work.

What? This teasing is too quick, isn't it

Channing is also a typical handsome man in Western literature; in terms of appearance, he is indeed not inferior to anyone here. However, due to preconceived notions, one always feels that Channing's temperament is somewhat lacking compared to others.

"Don't you think that's foolish? Besides, there are no inns over there," Channing said disdainfully, casting her a glance. "So, I am telling you, go over there and keep an eye on things!"

Well then, may I have the honor of witnessing your weapon?

He cautiously glanced at the men behind Mo Feite, several of whom were of similar age. Among them, one was exceptionally MAN-like, tall, strong, and silent, with tightly pressed lips and sharp eyes... Indeed, it was possible that he had already been paired.

Mingxi did not find any special meaning in Mo Feite's words; she simply listened in a daze, silently thinking to herself, "I regret to inform you, my so-called noble lineage is probably on par with that of a magical beast... I truly do not deserve the title of a descendant of Yan and Huang"

How despicable I am, how despicable I am, how despicable I am! Mingxi feels like she is going crazy

I am certain that you cannot lift the lightest axe in this weapon shop... yet you have defeated a level 3 swordsman in a non-combative duel.

The few men behind immediately surrounded, passing the message to look.

That shout is very simple, just like the old women in the mountains

Although bearing a unique appearance exclusive to the entire continent, Mingxi still happily goes out for strolls every day. Undoubtedly, Channing is wealthy and extravagant. Whenever Mingxi mentions needing money, he pulls out a large handful of gold coins, filling Mingxi's pockets and even asking if it is enough

Although he did not understand why, it was not until eight days later that Mingxi saw Kelly and her group in a weapons shop

The clear eyes darted between Meifite and Kaier, wrinkling the nose and grinning, as if sensing the scent of intrigue.

She has not left even a single step, not eating, drinking, or attending to any needs

He maintained the posture of handing over the oat cake and met the clear gaze. Under the assault of those dark pupils, he finally retreated, coughed once, and said: "Here."

Looking up, a large bag of oat cakes is in front of me

Clearly and directly handed over the gun: "Just take a look, no need to say so much... Men are always so fussy..." Muttering under his breath, truly deserving of being the submissive one.

There is no need to elaborate on the previous remarks; Mingxi felt as if smoke were rising from her head: "W-what... what lineage?"

What is it?

Your body is as delicate and tender as the most cherished pearl of nobility, yet your skills are sharp and seasoned like a battle-hardened warrior..." Mo Feite said in a lyrical tone, "Moreover, you possess a lineage that appears incredibly noble and pure... you are like a miracle

It can be seen clearly that the reactions of Kelly and the others varied significantly.

"Is this really for me?" She took it with clear surprise, eagerly took a bite, kissing as she chewed, "This is amazing! How did you know I needed this the most?"

To be precise, I am more interested in you as a person than in your gun

Channing's command this time was rather severe, and the clear body executed it quite thoroughly; she was even more diligent than the guards at the town gate, standing there foolishly for an entire day

Ah? Oh! It's nothing... "Mingxi is cold, " I said. "My name is Mingxi, do not call me Miss." I always feel there is some ambiguity.

Hmm? It just dawned on her that she had never known this man's name, merely subjectively assuming he was the little top. "Oh! Hello, hello!"

So when do we depart

In order to be cautious, Channing resolutely refused to go outside, spending each day eating, drinking, and attending to personal needs within the confines of his room. He either observed the pedestrians on the street through the window or sat on the bed in meditation

Kailier and her companions gradually walked out of the town's entrance. She clearly saw the figure of the last person in their group, patted her backside, and thought about getting up, but hesitated at the thought of going over to Channing.

For an entire day and night, this scoundrel never thought to bring her something to eat or a blanket, only knowing how to issue orders to torment himself. Heaven! There are so many scoundrels in this world, how did I end up encountering the worst of them!

With a clear expression of grief and indignation, he walked out with a determined stride.

Although there is a sense of helpless hatred towards Kelly, Mingxi, after all, is nearly thirty in this lifetime, and possesses a certain level of self-control. Upon encountering a group of handsome men and beautiful women, she merely smiles politely at them.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Mingxi let out three silly laughs and said: "I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about what you said... Well, until we meet again"

Mofeite was nearly choked to death; he swore that he had never been looked down upon in his life, especially not by a little girl who had no fighting spirit and no magic! But now, in need of assistance, he could only endure and ask what the desire of a "little shou" was, awkwardly accepting the silver spear.

She looked at the man before her with a sense of clarity and slight discomfort. He was the most beautiful man she had encountered since her arrival in this world. Although he was not yet fully mature, his silvery long hair and slender, slightly upturned azure eyes... The slight curl of his lips and the delicate, tall figure beneath the white robe already bestowed upon him a beauty that could be described as alluring... This man truly ought to star in "Brokeback Mountain"... The slight curl of his lips and the delicate, tall figure beneath the white robe already bestowed upon him a beauty that could be described as alluring... This man truly ought to star in "Brokeback Mountain"...

Seeing Mingxi's reluctance to say more, Xiao Gong did not press further, but simply sat up straight and looked at Mingxi: "I am Yare Karlson"

Ah ah ?

The scorching sun during the day and the dew at night... The next morning, she squatted at the city gate, with tears and snot streaming down her face...

He waved his hand clearly, indicating his unwillingness to discuss further: "You are leaving, right? Then goodbye"

Having said that, he took back his gun, ran out of the weapon store, and wondered whether Channing had seen this group of people

It can be said that

Just as Mo Feite was about to speak, Kaier walked out and smiled at Mingxi, saying, "In that case, we shall meet again, Miss Mingxi"

What a tempting pair... Indeed, Mingxi is a fujoshi

There is a kind of impulse to retreat: "That... did you all see it?"

A man approached Mingxi and politely said: "It is an honor to meet you, Miss. I am Mo Feite Aido Bolte. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

"To be precise, we have been discussing you all along." Mo Feite suddenly leaned in, awkwardly draping his arm over the shoulder of the young man.

However, since the extravagance is attributed to her, Mingxi cannot really blame her for anything. Every day, she strolls through the streets, practices martial arts, and enjoys a rather pleasant life.

In other words, after they leave, shall we stay for another three to five days

The young man appeared somewhat uneasy and said, "You should be lacking this as well"

Let you be in this day and night

Miss, Miss? After only a brief glance at him, she turned her attention to her companion behind her, leaving Mo Fei somewhat doubtful of his own charm

It was quick; her shoulder was tapped, and a deep voice said, "Excuse me, may I intrude."

Kachite is a bustling small town, without a doubt, as it serves as the first stop on the plains connecting to the Samoren Empire. Among the four human nations on this continent, including the Holy See, Samoren is undoubtedly the most prosperous and powerful.

However, it is quite joyful

The morning sun shines on the face, and a gentle breeze carries a refreshing coolness, making it truly a wonderful day

She turned her attention to the other weapons in the shop, not worried about what might happen to the gun. Firstly, among the eighteen weapons, she was least skilled with firearms; without a gun, she could be even more formidable with other weapons. Secondly, in this world, only she knew how to handle a gun, and even if others took it, they would not be able to use it. Lastly, the materials of this gun could not be processed with the smelting technology of this world; she had confidence in the technological level of her hometown.

However, it is so cold and I am so hungry... I lower my head in clear despondency

It cannot be too early, nor too late; it must be at least three to five days after their arrival

Why is Channing being so kind as to deliver food

The women focused their attention on her hair color and appearance, while the men turned their attention to the gun in her hand

Seeing Mingxi's lack of reaction, Yaléi seemed momentarily taken aback, but soon regained his composure. Noticing that Mingxi appeared to have no further needs, he turned and walked out of the town

"Clear, I saw you here yesterday at noon. Why are you still here now? Are you waiting for someone?" A familiar voice sounded, carrying an enticing tone.

As the words fell, a cloak was pulled over the head, still carrying the warmth of the man, instinctively wrapping tightly, revealing a small head, feeling an unprecedented warmth

Uh... feeling tongue-tied, I thought that telling this person would not be beneficial to myself, so I could only shake my head bitterly and say, "It's nothing, I'm doing this voluntarily"

Mingxi remained crouched, holding her head and weeping. Suddenly, she caught a whiff of the rich aroma of oatmeal cookies

So how do you know they have left? Are we really moving near the other end of the town gate... this is too foolish

Kailier is as beautiful as ever, and she seems to be in a good mood. Eight young people are following her, all of whom are attractive, both the men and the women.

After taking several hearty bites of the oat cake, Mingxi finally regained her composure, only to realize that there was no one in front of her. She turned her head and saw that Yaléi had not walked far from the town, and she quickly shouted, "Yaléi! Thank you!"

"Who?" the young man asked earnestly

***

The closer the tones of hair and eyes are, the more noble the lineage is; and you, surely, must be a lost member of royalty...
