The second surprise of the day was seeing Shu Lingling while on our way back to the gambling tent. She was wearing men's clothes; a circular straw hat, rough brown pyjamas, an over sized T-shirt having long sleeves and a black scarf on her neck.
Her hair was not tied and it covered half her face. She looked wary of her surroundings as she still had her sword with her.
I was four paces away, beside a busy stall, peeking at her curiously. Dang Seong was confused as to why I'd stopped and that confusion increased more when I stopped leaning on her.
"Go back, you're free."
Dang Seong didn't know what to say. Earlier, I seemed like I would take full advantage of her but now that lecherous attitude was gone. I didn't play with her body and even ignored her after that.
"What about- no, nevermind." She seemed relieved that I left her alone. However, some frustration still remained as she walked away from where I was standing.
