Chapter 36: Enemies on a narrow road

Although Murong Qingyan’s words didn’t give much proof, the clerk’s attitude didn’t change.

As a shop clerk, he already encountered a lot of different kind of people. So although the lady in front of him is wearing a veil, her temperament wouldn’t deceive his eyes. Such temperamental only exist from a lady of a big family. So even if she is not a real pharmacist, he still cannot dare to offend her.

However, Murong Qingyan doesn’t know what the clerk is actually thinking.

Anyway, she only went to this place to buy some porcelain medicine bottle. She didn’t plan to buy a large number of it.

After all, Little White told her while she’s refining them that Jade medicine bottle is much better. Because jade medicine bottle could prevent the pill to lose its effectiveness, in which porcelain medicine bottle couldn’t do.

Thinking such things, Murong Qingyan couldn’t help but sigh.

“Master, what’s wrong?” When Little White heard Murong Qingyan’s sigh. He got curious: “Aren’t you satisfied with those bottles that you bought?”

Of course, Little White didn’t speak those words directly, but only inside Murong Qingyan’s mind. After all, a magical beast that can directly communicate with its host doesn’t exist in this world. They can only communicate through their mind once the contract had been made.

“No, those small bottles are quite good.” Murong Qingyan said while putting all the small porcelain inside her space and while no one else is looking. Then, she said: “I just sigh because I felt like a beggar! Those bottles are very expensive and it almost took half of my savings!”

“In the future, don’t tell me to buy jade medicine bottles for the pills. Obviously, becoming pharmacist will only burn all of my money!”

Hearing Murong Qingyan’s words, Little White couldn’t help but laugh: “Master, how can you say that you’re a beggar? There’s so many treasures inside the space, just find one and sell it. I’m sure it will worth a lot of money!”

“Say that to me again later!” Murong Qingyan thinks for a moment, then said: “Little White, we walked for a long time now. So, aren’t you feeling hungry?”

It’s almost noon, so Murong Qingyan could already her stomach rumbling!

“Master, we are going to have a lunch now?” When Little White heard that they will go to eat now, his eyes started sparkling! And even began to rush: “Hurry Master, let’s go now! I am very hungry!”

Looking at the small white ball that is begging for food, Murong Qingyan could only shake her head and laugh. However, she still walked towards the biggest restaurant in the street.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Murong Qingyan reserved a room. Anyway, she spends so much money already so it wouldn’t be bad if she will spend some for herself.

Murong Qingyan could say that this Yue Restaurant is worth of being called the biggest restaurant here. However, it’s already been quarter an hour before all the food she ordered has arrived.

When Little White saw all the tasty dishes on the table, all the complaints he had inside his mind had vanished. And just jump directly on the table and started eating.

Looking how fast Little White eats, Murong Qingyan could only shake her head. If a person would see him right now, they might think that she didn’t feed him for a long period of time!

Anyway, Murong Qingyan picked up her chopstick and was just about to start eating. When suddenly, she heard a burst of noise outside the room.

“Shopkeeper, we want to eat in this room, so ask the people inside to go out. We will pay their losses to compensate.”

Hearing such familiar voice, Murong Qingyan couldn’t help but squint her eyes. Her eyes flashed with a trace of sharp light and her lips curve into a mocking smile.

It seems that enemy is really narrow road ah! You can’t even have a peaceful meal.

*Enemy is really narrow road (Idiom): enemies always run to each other.

I remember in high school, I ended up in a massive fight with another dude who I rarely spoke with (It was a misunderstanding on his part, so I was really pissed and fought back against him and his 2 friends).

Dude was also a state champion level boxer, so I had a small bit of fear in me, but thankfully I have a solid jaw and it just ended with us exchanging a few solid hits and an angry glare before the teachers broke it up.

That night, to cheer me up, my friends took me out to the local skate park and all the people said ‘Oh him? He never comes here, not even once in the past few years’ so I was able to relax and drink beers for a while, having fun with everyone there etc.

The first thing we see when we’re leaving is that dude and a group of friends going to the skate park! At MIDNIGHT…

Like, WTH!? Even he said he never goes there but just felt like it since he was in the area. Thankfully reality isn’t a C-novel, so we both had a chat and we buried the hatchet and drank together instead of getting into another fight.

Life is always weird like that, one minute you’re throwing punches and the next you’re drinking beers and showing each other respect for a good fight.
