Chapter 39

When I get back, I'll tell my friends about what I've experienced. Whether they will believe me or not it's up to them. Hm, or maybe I'll tell that weird guy who believes in ghosts and was teased for having an invincible friend because of how odd his words are. But he might be doubtful too. To see is to believe are what most people get convince to nowadays, sheesh.

"Ack."

A guy just bumped into me in a hurry all dressed up in worned out clock. Man, what a tall guy, looks like seven feet tall.

"Are you alright?"

"Mmm. Fine. Fine. By the way, do you know where..."

Is the comfort room aka Restroom. Is that how to say it? Do they even have this vocabulary before? How should I say this? No. Can a noblewoman even say it directly? Or in public?

"Where is?"

"Err, to relieve myself."

I regretted drinking too much water. They said it only has little to no spicy added flavor but no, its too much for me I felt like I'm breathing fire. Well, I've always been weak with spicy foods. Am I even Asian? To think I carried my avoidance for spicy foods in this place or is Li Jia Ying like that too?

"Let me accompany you."

Accompany... "No, just tell me. Li Jia Ying can manage."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes."

"You see that pillar, turn left and go straight until the end. That's where women relieve themselves."

"Great."

I followed Ml's instructions while observing the interior designs of this place. Maybe I could use it in the future as a reference in making a story. That dream of mine, it's still burning inside my chest.

It'll continue to burn until the day I'm buried deep inside the fertile land of earth. Kidding aside, it's probably better to just take a piss.

I took off my mask off that's been bugging me and squatted down. "Hah."

"Princess Li Jia Ying?"

Hmm?

"Eh?!"

Dagnabit isn't this the cannon-fodder Bai Ying Yue! Why on earth is she— "Oh? Oh! Pretty sister from the Baquet!"

She chuckled. "Oh my, pretty sister from the banquet eh? It really is the Princess. Are you with your husband?"

What a beautiful smile!

"Yes!"

I cheerily replied. Looks like she's in traveling clothes on a rush too. Her hair is somewhat in a mess and eyes tired. The circles underneath her eyes are beggining go obviously turn dark.

"You're here?"

"Yes, Princess."

Why won't she continue talking? Oh, right fools don't need to know.

"Why? Li Jia Ying is with husband. You're here with your husband too?"

I'm sorry, I don't know any better ideas to say.

"Ah." Bai Ying Yue looks troubled. Come on, you can tell me. I'm a fool, a really big fool. "Well, pretty sister is on an adventure. This place is beautiful so pretty sister is going to see everything!"

"Oh! Oh!"

I clapped feeling fascinated before realizing the situation we're in now.

Both were in a shared lavatory, squatting to take a piss, and chatting. "..."

Haha. Whatever.

"Big sister, you have no husband to show you? Husband showed me everything!"

I told her boasting like a child as I puff my chest, and even made a gesture when saying 'everything'.

"Well no. Someone better than a husband is accompanying me."

Bai Ying Yue proudly said. My eyes brightened and beamed at her. "Better than a husband? Who? Whose better? Li Jia Ying doesn't know!"

Now, I'm curious.

"Wife, are you still not finished?"

Tch. Way to ruin the mood, darling. We were going to the gossipy part. Sigh. I put my mask on and was about to wave goodbye but nodded. "Big Sister, Li Jia Ying have to go!"

Waving goodbye isn't a custom here. That was dangerously close. After all, this woman was a first-tier actress. Need to be cautious to the max.

"Alright! Hope we meet again!"

"Yes."

I walked out first. Such a shame, I didn't figure out who's with... Her?

This man that's standing not far from us... He was the one who bumped into me. Wait, don't tell me? Looking back, Bai Ying Yue bowed seeing Ml glancing smilingly at me before looking at the man behind me.

"..."

I see. So what we saw a while ago might not be a coincidence. Now, how is he better than having the male lead Zhiyuan?

"Wife, you shouldn't stare at another man. It's quite rude."

Really? Why do I feel that underneath his cloak he is looking back at me more intensely than I do?

We passed by the man wearing a cloak and went ahead. All the while, my mind tries hard to remember what was written in the novel. Surely, there must be a reason. Moreover, it was in a Third POV so it doesn't solely focus on the FL. So, what was it?

"That baron's daughter has been in our region for over a week."

Ml only spoke when we were in our carriage.

"Li Jia Ying was quite surprised seeing her. The man with her is what bothers me the most."

This brain, how long do I have to ponder just to remember what happened? Aiysh.

"He is one of the Princes of the Koumn Empire."

Now I remember! Bai Ying Yue saved him from the slave market of the Fu Empire not knowing he was an undercover spy. In the later chapters, they conspired with Ml in taking over the Fu Empire, and in return, he will aid their Koumn Kingdom. After all, an alliance is better than waging war.

But why are they here? In the story, they didn't come here. Don't tell me, "Husband, did they look for you?"

"No."

No? Then does that mean they only came here because they want to see the festival just like me? I don't think so. There must be something going on. Especially if the characters in the story are here. There will always be surprising events that'll occur.

Either they will look for him in the coming days or there's just something fishy going on.

"Are you overseeing their moves?"

"What's the matter?"

He asked but I felt he isn't bothered. It's more like he is testing me.

"Li Jia Ying just feels bothered with the two of them coming here. There must be something going on."

What's the situation in the Koumn Kingdom now? Why would the actress Bai Ying Yue come here when she can send someone else? Whose accompanying who?

"Ah."

And why am I even concerning myself with these trivial events? Not good.

"It seems you're very bothered."

As a reader, even if I skim and skim its parts I'm still curious.

"It's nothing. Just a flimsy thought."

As long as we don't meet and clash then all is well. This is a story where all three transmigrators went on the path of revenge. Each had their way of giving retribution to their enemy and had some cooperation along the way. But most of the time, they mind their own business as any modern person does.

No, if I'm not mistaken one of them died. The lover of that person had turned ballistic wreaking havoc against all the empires. The male lead was the only one who was able to stop him.

Who was the woman that died? I'm sure that woman died after Li Jia Ying, or was it the other way around? Man, I need to write down all that I could remember before my fish memory turned empty as a can.
