On the Petals of a Flower, I found something that does not belong to me

21

For everyone who can't live here in 'yesterday'

 The next day, the woman who had helped me with the related issues of the period, came and woke me up. She gave me her delicious soup to eat again and brought my underwear inside. It had not dried yet, as she told me, but I had to leave. Sect leader Nie had been waiting for me for two hours.

 After eating the soup quickly, about half an hour later I was at the exit of the Jin Sect area, face to face with a visibly angry Nie Mingjue and a relatively skeptical Jin Guangyao.

 "You are so thick faced! Do you know how long I have been waiting?" Nie Mingjue barked.

 I flipped my hair behind my shoulder and then caught it in a low ponytail with the elastic hair band I always had on my wrist. Bless the elastic band.

 "I was born a queen, what can I do" I said ironically. "The servants normally wait. And you waited a little."

 Nie Mingjue clenched his fists. "What exactly are you saying?"

 A pain pierced my abdomen again. "It doesn't matter. We need to go to your sect to find information. I think I want to get out of here as fast as you want to get rid of me. So let's go. The faster, the better."

 Jin Guangyao looked at me and smiled at me. "If I have further information about that noise, I will inform Sect leader Nie, and he will inform you. We will tell you anyway in two days, for the start of our journey, in case you do not find anything."

 I nodded. "Thanks. Yes, we will."

                                                                                         ***

 The faster, the better I said, eh?

 Well, I regretted it bitterly.

 Very bitterly.

 "Move. Did you not say the faster, the better? You walk like a turtle."

 I ignored Nie Mingjue's comment and forced my legs to go faster. I was in pain everywhere.

 Damn my lack of working out and my period.

 The two disciples who had come with Nie Mingjue grinned at each other and started whispering and looking at me like cats.

 Cursed bloody bastards.

 "Ah!"

 My leg found something and I stumbled, but I found my balance. One of the disciples rolled his eyes.

 "Will you stop?" I addressed both of them. "Ever since we left, you have been looking at me like idiots. You do not have a period and you are fine. If you look at me like this again, in the name of God, I will try to cut your bloody private parts. And I'm not kidding. I have a knife."

 Of course I bluffed. I didn't have anything on me, except for water and some clothes.

 The disciples flinched. "Sect leader," said one. "Did you just heard her talking to us?"

 "Ha!" I made and rolled my eyes. "Run to your mom."

 "Excuse me?" made the second discipline.

 "Go shit yourself, asshole," I murmured.

 "You..." said the first.

 Nie Mingjue abruptly stopped. Then he turned to look at me sternly.

 "How do you speak..."

 "Leave me alone" I said and passed him. "How you speak, how dare you, blah, blah, blah. Your disciples are making fun of me but I pay for it. I don't know if you are thickheaded, brainless, stupid or you play it. Aren't you in a hurry? Go ahead. Keep walking."
