: The Man She First Met
A small thin figure was squatting by an inconspicuous street corner yawning his head off. His half closed eyes were looking at the patrolling teams roving on the bustling street as he pulled out an apple from within his clothes and began to take bites out of it in a big show of utter boredom.
Dressed in beggars rags, old, tattered and filthy, his dirty face was even well smeared with mud and grime, his hair wrapped within a broken rag, looking every inch an malnourished skinny little beggar. Nobody would have guessed that the very one person who had so greatly angered the towns mayor as to make him order an all out search for that woman from the brothel would be this little beggar by the street corner.
What bad luck! How do I get out of here? Even if I have the patience to wait, the poison in my body wouldnt allow it! Taking bites out from the apple, Feng Jiu sighed softly. If she had known that the vulgar and disgusting man that she killed last night was the town mayors only son, she would have at least let him live, and the mayor wouldnt have deployed all the guards to comb the entire town to search for her.
But, who was that black robed man then? Assassin?
Remembering the energy that had surrounded that mans body when he made executed his moves, she began to feel a little jittery. She had thought that after being reborn, she would at most just have to deal with living under the rule of some ancient dynasty. Who would have thought that the people here cultivated immortality? Immortal Cultivation, that was something that entered the realm of fantasy! But thinking back to the fact that she, a person from the twenty first century, had even been reborn into a god damned place like this, made everything else seem not as strange anymore.
Immortal Cultivation! Then her whole arsenal of skills her body possessed would amount to nought before these cultivators of immortality!
She flung the half eaten apple away and sat there sighing to herself, dispirited. Until a crisp and clear sound rang out right before her.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
