“Yes.” Ling Chuxi nodded heavily. She definitely would not disappoint Elder Brother when they meet the next time.
Ling Wushang smiled, and after saying goodbye to Ling Chuxi, his body shot up to the skies and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ling Chuxi looked at the horizon at a distance and it was a long while before she retracted her line of sight. In the end, her line of sight fell onto the stone bead on her own wrist. This was the only clue that Mother had left for her. What was really different about this stone bead? Elder Brother did not know as well. Ling Chuxi fiddled with it for quite some time but she did not discover any clues. She could only give up for the time being.
The skies were gradually turning brighter. Ling Chuxi found a little stream to wash her face. As she looked at her own ‘chicken nest head’ and her face covered in dust and dirt which were reflected in the water, she could not resist shaking her head and smiled bitterly. She would end up in such a disheveled state every time she encountered that old pervert. Why was she so unlucky that she could provoke him for some inexplicable reason?

Anyhow she had the ability to fight back in this encounter and it was not like the last time when she could only afford to run for her life. And furthermore, it seemed that this old pervert had even worse luck. Every time, there would always be an expert appearing to help her and send him flying away with a slap.
“Wait till we meet the next time. I will send him flying with my own palm. Hmph hmph.” After Ling Chuxi had freshened up, her mind was refreshed and her mood was better too. She was picturing the various scenes of how to torture the old pervert in the future while heading toward the direction of the capital. It was fortunate that she did not get lost this time.
It was morning when Ling Chuxi had walked out of the mountain range. She stopped in front of a teahouse by the roadside and touched her stomach which had shriveled up. She was really somewhat hungry right now.
It was still in the early hours and there were not many pedestrians on the road. The teahouse was even more deserted inside. There was only the boss with big arms and a round waist and his wife together with a few waiters who were busy cleaning the tables and chairs.
“Dear guest, the sun is shining brightly now. Take care so you don’t get heatstroke. Come in to have a cup of green tea before leaving.” Although Ling Chuxi was covered in dirt and dust, the texture of her clothes were of fine quality and her bearing was even more so different from ordinary people. The waiter welcomed her with a face full of smiles.
There were many people who came from the south and travelled to the north. The waiter’s eyes were rather perceptive by now. He could see at once that Ling Chuxi was a wealthy person.
“Dear guest, we have freshly plucked Jade Green Leaves and Red Brocade Robe. Which kind would you like?” The waiter asked.
“Give me a portion of smoked meat.” Ling Chuxi looked at the smoked meat swaying, glistening with oil, as they were hung under the eaves, and swallowed her saliva.

“And do you have any fresh wild game?” Ling Chuxi ignored the waiter’s astonishment and continued to ask. ‘I’m hungry and I must eat meat.’ For such a foodie like Ling Chuxi, how could she be full with only drinking some porridge and eating a few mantou?
“Yes, yes, yes. We managed to trap a few wild rabbits and wild chickens last night and they are fat.” The boss kicked the waiter aside with his foot and stood in front of the table like a piece of wooden board. The boss also looked at Ling Chuxi with his face lit up in happiness. ‘Heh heh. Such a big customer coming in early in the morning. Today’s luck isn’t too bad.’
“Alright. I will take half of each.” Ling Chuxi said with her eyes shining brightly.
“Dear guest, we even have air dried wild boar meat. Do you want to have a taste of it?” The boss asked with even further happiness lighting up his face. ‘This young lady is definitely from a wealthy family. She must have secretly sneaked out to play. She has ordered so much food, and she would not finish it anyway. In the end we can still keep them and use them again. This young lady is really extravagant. Heh heh. But this has nothing to do with us. It doesn’t matter what you can eat or what you can’t eat. As long as you pay for what you ordered, that will do.’
