Chapter 45

45 MY WORLD, HERE I COME!!

After washing their feet in the lake, Yang Ning turned to Xiaowei and said, ” Xiaowei, I am suddenly feeling so hungry. Can you bring me some sweet steamed buns to eat?”

” Sweet steamed buns? My Lady, but the shop that sells sweet steamed buns is at the corner of this road. It will take time if I go there and come back after buying them. How can I leave you here alone for so long?”

” Why don’t we do this? Since we have washed our feet, let’s go there together and eat the sizzling hot sweet sweet buns while sitting outside the shop. They taste better if we eat them piping hot. We can also have some spicy dumplings as well.” Xiaowei said as she tried Yang Ning to accompany her to the shop.

To wash their feet in the lake, they walked down the rugged road and there were not so many people around either.

How can she leave her lady alone when it’s not safe around this area? What if some thief or thug attacked her to see her alone when she was not around?

Yang Ning pursed her lips and was surprised by Xiaowei’s commitment. This girl always tries hard to keep her safe and protected.

But her motto is not to be safe but to die and go back. And today....she will complete her long-awaited goal. ANYHOW!

Yang Ning wore a gloomy expression on her face and pouted her lips to show her dissatisfaction. She flared her long skirt and sat on top of one of the large boulders near the lake and announced, ” I DON’T CARE. I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE JUST TO EAT SOME SWEET STEAMED BUNS.”

.....

” I AM ALREADY TIRED OF WALKING SUCH A LONG DISTANCE. NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME TO WALK UP TO THE END OF THIS ROAD TO EAT THE SWEET BUNS?”

“XIAOWEI, DID YOU ALREADY FORGET THAT I AM STILL WEAK AND IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERING? HOW CAN YOU BE SO HEARTLESS TO ASK ME TO WALK A LITTLE MORE AND NOT BRING THE BUNS TO ME? IS IT THAT HARD OF A REQUEST? HMM?” Yang Ning softened her voice as she looked at Xiaowei with her slightly welled-up eyes.

Teary eyes are the best kind of weapon for weak-hearted people like Xiaowei. Always works like a charm.

Xiaowei was shocked and was caught off guard to see the teary eyes of Yang Ning. Did she hurt her lady’s feelings by ignoring her command?

Compared to the other Masters, Yang Ning rarely asks her to do something for her. How can she not fulfill this request of hers and let her feel upset because of it?

” My lady, please do not cry. If you want to have some sweet steamed buns, then I will go and bring them for you. But.... Please don’t cry because of it.” Xiaowei said seriously as she could not bear to see Yang Ning’s teary eyes and did not want to upset her because of such a small matter.

Yang Ning’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard this. ” Really? You will bring the sweet steamed buns for me? Xiaowei, YOU’RE THE BEST!!”

“Ah! Since you’re going there, bring some spicy dumplings as well. After you mentioned it, I am craving to eat them as well.”

Xiaowei nodded and handed her something before she could leave to buy something to eat for Yang Ning, ” My lady, hold this small dagger in your hands. It’s for your safety.”

” If you see any thug or a wild animal coming to attack you, do not hesitate to use this dagger at them.” She instructed her carefully.

Yang Ning: “...”

Yang Ning’s face went pale and her eyes widened in shock when she heard her words. ” What....what? Wild animals? Why....why would there be any animals around here?”

Even though they have to walk down the road to reach the lake, the area is quite populated with people and there are many street stalls as well.

Why would there be any wild animals in the area where people freely move around and do their business?

” My lady, did you already forget about it? Did you forget that this lake connects to the most dangerous and the deepest forest where many wild bears and tigers have been seen?” Xiaowei looked at Yang Ning in confusion.

Her asking such obvious questions was kind of confusing. How can she not know about it? It’s not like she is coming to the lake for the first time.

” Although, generally wild animals do not cross the forest and come to the area where people reside. I heard that in the past few days, a wild bear has been roaming around the residential area.”

“He has also attacked and killed 5 people in the last few days, causing fear in the hearts of common people. The Crown Prince and the capital police are working to find that wild bear but it hasn’t been caught yet.” Xiaowei told her everything about whatever she knows about this news.

Even though she does not go out of the palace frequently, it’s not that hard to find information about the outside world while staying inside the Yang Household.

” That’s why I gave this dagger to you to protect yourself in case a thug or a wild bear attacked you when I was not nearby. My Lady, Be careful and wait for me.”

After hearing Xiaowei’s words, a cold sweat covered Yang Ning’s back. This was something she has never experienced in her whole life.

Wild bear and Tiger? Ha!Ha! Hahaha!!

She wants to experience a peaceful and less painful death to return to her world. But she does not want to be eaten by wild animals and die miserably.

However, before she could think twice about this decision of hers, Xiaowei turned around and left her alone to buy the items that Yang Ning had asked her for.

Seeing Xiaowei gone, Yang Ning took a deep breath and looked at the deep lake carefully. She took a deep breath and muttered under her breath, ” Fang Li, You can do it.”

” Don’t be scared. It’s not like any wild bear is coming to attack you. It’s all in your wild imagination.”

” You just need to take a deep breath and jump into the lake and drown and die. BOOM!! Everything will be resolved then. Go Go!!” She decided and chanted to boost her morale and grabbed her skirt to jump into the lake.

” MY WORLD, HERE I COME!”
