Chapter 46: Returning To The Mortal Realm (2)

After she found herself back at the spot where Nine Ballads had killed her with Mascot in her arms, Shen Jingbin was left in a bit of a trance. At that moment, two white carrier pigeons holding letters in their beaks landed on her shoulders.

Shen Jingbin recalled Mascot and retrieved the letters from the carrier pigeons.

They were from Quiet And Steadfast and Shen Jingchen.

“Where hell did you run off to! Didn’t you receive any of our mail?!”

“Reply once you’ve received my mail. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”

After reading the letter, she summarized the incident where Nine Ballads had killed her and recounted it to the two of them. Before a few minutes had even passed, Shen Jingbin saw their carrier pigeons come flying back.

“Stay where you are and don’t move!” Their replies were oddly in sync.

Shen Jingbin obediently remained at her current location and waited for them. After a few minutes, both Quiet And Steadfast and Shen Jingchen could be seen riding over on their mounts. Shen Jingbin’s sharp eyesight also spied what seemed to be a girl sitting on the back of Shen Jingchen’s dragon.

Shen Jingbin only managed to discern who she was after they got off their mounts. She turned out to be Slight Chill.

“Slight Chill learned how to refine medicine. This Apothecary Master has a very eccentric personality, he refuses to teach anyone who isn’t introduced by a fellow Apothecary.” Shen Jingchen explained. “Honestly, each NPC you meet in this game is stranger than the last.”

Slight Chill gave him a look of disdain and said, “Don’t tell me you’re expecting all of them to have upright morals? In that case, what’s the point of playing the game?” She then shifted her gaze to Shen Jingbin and said, “Come with me, I’ll take you to meet Unparalleled Medicine.”

Unparalleled Medicine was the Apothecary Master’s name.

Thus, Shen Jingbin followed behind Slight Chill as the four of them made their way towards Unparalleled Medicine’s wooden house. While looking at Slight Chill’s back, Shen Jingbin felt that the Slight Chill she knew of from before didn’t seem to be the real Slight Chill.

Shen Jingbin thought that maybe, just maybe, everything might have all been just one big misunderstanding between the two of them.

A short while later, the four of them arrived at Unparalleled Medicine’s doorstep. Slight Chill signalled for the other three to wait before taking a step forward. She then raised her hand, and gently knocked on the door.

“Who’s there?” The slightly impatient voice of a man came from within the house.

“Master, it’s Slight Chill.”

Shen Jingbin softly asked Quiet And Steadfast who was beside her, “Does he really remember the names of all his disciples?”

Quiet And Steadfast leaned a little closer to her ear and replied, “Giving her name is just a symbolic gesture. Only he knows whether or not he really remembers it.”

While they were whispering to one another, the door to the wooden house was opened and a man with an unkempt appearance stuck his head out. He sized up the four of them for a moment, before he settled his gaze on Slight Chill and said, “Why have you come looking for your Master?”
