After eating her fill, Rae Gu burped with satisfaction while rubbing her bloated stomach.
Shu Ren rolled his eyes seeing her lazily leaned her back on the chair's back rest. He sighed after looking at his purse and thought, [Surely, raising a pig would made me penniless in no time.]
"Where do we go next?" Rae Gu smilingly asked her piggy bank. She was so happy having Shu Ren at her side, at the least she won't get starved if she would keep on sticking to him.
"Let's go for a walk and find a dress shop. I want you to change into a male outfit." Shu Ren who was unaware of her thoughts shove his purse into his sleeves. If he were to know what was on Rae Gu's mind, he would surely cry a river.
"Can't we rest for a bit? I felt so heavy." Rae Gu released a soft yawn and cutely asked Shu Ren.
"Are you a pig?" Shu Ren spoke in a disdainful manner, and he was now unquestionably raising a pig who only knows how to eat and sleep.
"You're a pig, your parents were a pig, your whole family were a pig." Rae Gu roared at Shu Ren,as she felt so insulted.
"Alright, alright, we will go after a minute. You need to take a walk, else you will have indigestion. We need to go to Onyx Town as soon as possible, or they might find us." Pacifying Rae Gu, he wanted to persuade her to go and walked with him to find a dress shop, so they could start travelling as soon as possible to their destination before Huang Ryu's spies spotted them.
"What?! a minute? That fast? Hmp! Nevermind then, let's go." Rae Gu snorted, but as a doctor, she knows that she needed to walk to help her body digest the foods faster, so she still stood up from her chair and exited the restaurant with Shu Ren.
...
Walking along the street, Rae Gu kept on stopping each stall which were selling a food and buy every delicious looking delicacies.
"Shu Ren, we'll be bringing this on our journey." Rae Gu passed a lot of packed foods and let him carry everything.
Package after package has accumulated in Shu Ren's hand. His was paying for everything, and now, he even carrying it himself, he really wanted to tossed everything on the ground, and left her alone, if only not for his promise."Mistress, this should be enough. It will only take two weeks to travel to the city, besides we can stop over a town along the road."
Rubbing her chin, Rae Gu contemplated and after a while she noddingly agreed. "You're right, then let's go and find the dress shop."
Thankful that he was able to convince her, Shu Ren gladly walked on the street and leading out the way to find a dress shop.
After walking for ten minutes, They saw a dress shop and went in. Shu Ren looked over each outfit and picked up a phoenix red male outfit that would fit Rae Gu's lean body, and hand it over to her. "Change into this."
Rae Gu blinked her eyes and looked at the clothes in her hand. She didn't have any idea on how to wear it, with the inner clothes, outer clothes and belt, it seems so complicated, "Shu Ren, how do I wear this?"
"You don't know?" Shu Ren looked at her puzzledly, and his eyes were like asking her which planet did she even came from.
"I'm a woman, naturally i don't know how to wear this." Rae Gu pouted her lips, somewhat feeling wronged.
The white dress that was given to her when she was still in Huang Ryu manor, was much more easier to wear than this, so she felt dejected.
Shu Ren helplessly sighed and called for a female attendant and let her help Rae Gu change into the male clothes.
After changing her clothes, Rae Gu went out of the fitting room. The outfit perfectly fit on Rae Gu's slender body, and she looked like a scholarly handsome man.
Shu Ren nodded with satisfaction, and have her hair tied up like a man. He then followed the attendant to find a hat with a veil and also to pay for the bill.
Thereafter, Shu Ren had already bought everything they needed but couldn't find Rae Gu at his side. He looked around the shop, but she's nowhere to be found.
Rae Gu who went out of the shop ahead of Shu Ren, saw a candied fruit shop across the street, and being a gluttonous food lover, she quickly walked to the shop.
One block away from where she was walking, a horse was on rampant and running towards Rae Gu.
Unaware of her surroundings, Rae Gu was too distracted by the candied fruit across the street that she wasn't able to see the incoming horse.
"Watch out!" The onlookers shouted in unison, Rae Gu who was inattentive turned her head and saw the raging hoof steps of the horse near her.
She wanted to dodge, but it was too late for her since the horse was only a half meter away from her.
So Rae Gu chose to jump up and hug the neck of the horse, and flexibly reached her right leg to the back of the horse.
Luckily, the horse paused his steps a bit after being startled by Rae Gu's hug,and this gave her a chance to hook her right leg to the other side of the horse and use it to sprang up her body to the back of the horse.
Ridden by Rae Gu, the horse was now even more furious. it was circling, jumping, and kicking just to shook her off from its back.
Rae Gu clipped both of her legs to its stomach and hug its neck tighter to avoid herself from falling.
And having just recovered her strength after being coma, doing this was very taxing to her body.
She was now sweating a lot and even need to exert all her energy to stay on the horse back, else she would die from the impact if she was to be thrown out.
Feeling that Rae Gu was hard to throw off, the horse ran forward at his top speed.
"Oh my God! Help me." Rae Gu yelp at the sudden acceleration of the horse.
Shu Ren who was looking for her just got out from the shop, and was greeted by this horror scene in which Rae Gu was clinging for her life into the back of the horse.
His face turned pale and cried inwardly, [Oh shit! I really can't take my eyes off you even for a minute.] Shu Ren dropped all the things in his hand, and ran after the horse.
"Make way! Make way!" Shu Ren shouted at these gossiping spectators that was blocking his way, and tried to hasten his steps to follow the horse.
"Horsie, you want to eat apple right? I'll buy you a lot when you put me down." Rae Gu thought to persuade the horse by talking to it.
"Neigh!" Seemingly the horse understood, it stopped its hooves in going forward and jumped around again, trying hard to throw off Rae Gu from his back.
Rae Gu shriek, "No, not this way, gently.... do it gently, alright horsie?"
Her strength was draining fast and her arms and legs felt numb. At present, Rae Gu was too tired to hang onto its back.
The horse felt that her clasped has loosened a bit, so, it jump and kick with full force and was able to tossed Rae Gu from his back, before he continued running.
"Ah! help!" Rae Gu was flying in the air and screamed at the top of her lungs.
Waiting for the impact, Rae Gu closes her eyes and after she felt the impact, the pain never came, instead she land on something that was hard yet soft.
"General!" A man with blue eyes run towards Rae Gu's direction.
Slowly opening her eyes, Rae Gu swept her eyesight around before looking down.
She gasped after seeing a man's back while she was sitting on top of his butt, his face plastered on the ground and his arms were wide spread like a gecko.
"Mister, thanks a lot." Rae Gu felt guilty, but still thank him for lending his butt in catching her.
"Get off my back." The General talked while he gritted his teeth. He was never humiliated like this in his entire life.
And right now, an unknown woman just pop out from nowhere, and hit him on his back, even worse since it was too sudden, he was caught off guard and his body fell forward with his face hitting the floor.
His humiliation was even more painful than having his nose hit on the ground.
