Chapter 631: 95. Big PotpourriThe two girls shrank back against the wall and whispered,
âWe⌠we would have followed him, but he didnât take us with him; he just took your belongings and dashed off, leaving us behindâŚâ
âYou⌠you scoundrels! Iâll beat you to death!â
Kexie Ning was so angry she felt like vomiting blood, ready to strike them with her musical instrument, but when she lifted it, she accidentally hit a passerby behind her. Just as she made contact, she felt a wave of panic wash over her; the instrument in her hands was the heavy âBoundary Flute,â which could seriously injure someone if it struck them.
If the person was hurt, did it mean⌠she would have to pay compensation again?
Kexie Ningâs half-raised instrument froze in mid-air; she didnât dare turn her head to look at the person behind her. Beads of cold sweat formed on her brow, her eyes frantically rolling in their sockets. Then, suddenly, she dropped to her knees and kowtowed three times to the person she had bumped into.
âMerciful sir, spare my life, it was an accident! If youâre hurt, I have no money to compensate you⌠sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!â
The other two girls also turned pale with fright; they didnât have a single coin left on them. If they had to compensate, it would mean giving up everything, so they followed Kexie Ningâs lead and lay prostrate on the ground, apologizing to the gentleman they had bumped into.
âAh, no worries, itâs not a big deal⌠The images on your backs, arenât those unique to a circus? Why have you become street performers now?â
âThatâs⌠a long story.â
Before Kexie Ning, the gentleman spoke in a calm voice, so neutral in gender that it was difficult to distinguish. Kexie Ning couldnât see his movements, but she guessed he was looking at the paintings they had hung on the wall, the last remnants of the circus that Colin hadnât stolen.
âIt really is fascinating. Members of the Slime Species, dressed in imitation skins and performing in the blizzard â this is indeed rare. Iâve heard rumors that Slimes are beings of great wealth. How did you come to be in such a dire state⌠And why do you hold the Boundary Flute? Are you going to perform a song for me?â The latest_epÉŞ_sodes are on_the Nová´(l)FÉŞre .É´á´t
Embarrassed by the gentlemanâs words, Kexie Ning bashfully pursed her lips but sensed his interest in their performance. Such a person was most likely to give them money, so she quickly put on a flattering smile and said,
âI have traveled far and wide; I donât even need you to tell me where youâre from. I can offer you a song from your homeland⌠Let me guess, youâre from Schwali, right? Iâm quite adept at songs from Schwali. Let me sing for you. The red flowers amidst the mountains, oh, the General who left his town~ I lingered on the day you departed, pickingâŚâ
As Kexie Ningâs voice struggled to continue singing, a row of shimmering Northern Realm silver coins clinked into the battered bowl before her. Kexie Ningâs pace slowed until she was completely mesmerized by the glint of the silver coins, swallowing her saliva in barely contained greed.
âOh my, this is truly generous! Thank you, thank you! You, the gentleman from SchwaliâŚâ
Afraid that the gentleman might change his mind, she quickly clutched the bowl filled with silver coins to her chest and cautiously looked up to check his movements. It was then that she noticed how strangely he was dressed.
He wore a heavy, black leather coat and a beak-like mask that made it hard to tell if it was part of his face or something else. He donned a dark bowler hat and casually waved at Kexie Ning before walking away,
âMake good use of these silver coins. Iâve heard that the Slime Species can turn a small investment into a business hundreds of times larger. Iâm looking forward to it.â
The figure walked further away and soon disappeared into the crowd. Despite his peculiar appearance, he merged with the sea of people effortlessly, stirring the imagination.
But Kexie Ning didnât care. She just looked down at the bowl full of silver coins, greedily burying her face behind them and inhaling deeply.
âYes, thatâs our race.â
When she lifted her head again, her once pale face was now infused with healthy color, as if sheâd grown thirty years younger. She greedily looked in the other direction of the street, where the carriage studded with high value had gone.
