Chapter 36 - meeting Han ling2, another encounter 1

Han ling clenched her fists beneath her long sleeves but still politely smiled and said 700 gold coins.

She wanted that dress at all cost. She would be attending her friend's birthday party tomorrow night and so she wouldn't let an ugly lady take it. Besides, it was too big for her.

Just look at her clothes.

Though expensive, it's true beauty was lost because this woman decided to wear it.

Theresa was also not ready to back down and said: "One pearl"

This made them all stare at her.

Who was she?

Does she think pearls are that easy to get?

To clear their doubts Theresa brought out a refined pearl and gave it to the attendant.

"The dress is now mine, Han Ling. I can decide what to do with it. Yes as you can all see I'm but a thin, weak lady who will destroy the beauty of this dress so I've decided to--"

Theresa took Ren's sword from its sheath and began to cut the dress into pieces and then handed the pieces to Han ling bowing.

"Dearest Miss Ling, forgive me for giving you this ugly gift."She said as Ren took back his sword.

"I'll take it on one condition. Who are you?" Han ling asked.

Theresa simply turned to face the female Ren for an answer.

"Madam, she is someone you cannot offend. I advise you to take this gift that she's offered you from her heart. You are the second person to receive such a wonderful gift"Ren advised.

Han ling nodded and released her aura.

These two old women standing before her only had the money but no cultivation.

She wanted to suppress them into kneeling down and maybe get some pearls from them but the reverse was the case.

Ren released a tiny bit of his aura directed to only her alone which made her sweat and she hurriedly took the rags with a smile and then left.

"Ok, People showtime is over" Theresa announced and began to walk out with Ren.

She had lost interest in that shop.

Since she was already like this why not just explore the ancient world like this?

So she and Ren disappeared and reappeared at the market place which was so crowded.

There were many strange items that Theresa did not know and so Ren explained to her through telepathy.

He would often pat her shoulders which she found annoying.

Just like before, she received glances from people who either felt sorry for her condition or used her as an example of someone suffering punishment from heaven.

"See her? If you keep lying you will become like that Jun'er. Do you wanna be like that?"

These were the words of a mother to her child on seeing Theresa.

But Theresa wasn't bothered.

What dazzled her, even more, was that there were no much food vendors in the market but you could find the ones who sold low-cost clothes, pills, jewelry and anything related to cultivation.

She was very disappointed but did not voice it out.

What those novels said were lies. BIG LIES.

Ren told her that here majority were cultivators so not everyone wanted to eat or even knew how to cook.

Those who sold street food and snacks in the market are those poor people who can't cultivate.

But those owners of top restaurants in Luo ye imperial city were cultivators who used their energy to prepare food, so those who eat do not only conquer momentarily their thirst for some food and wine but also eat energy prepared food that is very good in purifying their bodies.

The food prices there in these places are very high only the rich can afford them.

"Ren, I want us to find a restaurant, top restaurant.I'm really hungry," Theresa complained.

She had pearls so she could eat as much as she wanted.

Boy! Her stomach must be really angry. She needs to pacify it as soon as possible.

The stinky tofu that she ate here on the street wasn't as delicious as the one described in the novel "Gourmet of another world".

Ren nodded.

He was not a good pet.

How could he forget that mistress was a human from another world.

He held her hand and disappeared.

----------

Exotic restaurant---

Theresa was eating in the high-class section of this restaurant.

She was eating the meat and giving leftover bones to Ren.

"What does mistress think I am? A dog?"Ren thought unhappily.

If not for the vision last night from his Grandpa, he would not have so easily submitted to her.

Anyway, at least he has several ways to make her suffer.

"Ren, try out this bone, "Theresa said handing another bone to him but he waved it away.

"Mistress, I'm a cultivator so--"He got interrupted by Theresa.

"Cultivator or not, you are still a beast. And a beast needs food." said a heartless Theresa.

"Mistress if even I must eat, do you have to give me bones to eat? Your current appearance is befitting of a dog why not you eat them?'

Ren, however, dared not to voice his complaints out.

"Mistress, when you finish eating I, will swallow the bones," He said to Theresa with a forced smile.

"Ok! As they said back in my former world, one does not waste food" said Theresa.

"Is bone then the only befitting food for me?"Ren thought again.

Just then, a worker ran in sweating.

"What is it?"Ren asked.

A hint of anger found in his tone of voice.

"Madams, please follow me to another room. Eh... someone had booked this place before" the short middle-aged man explained.

"Oh, there are seats here for 8 people and there are 4 tables so let him come here," said Theresa.

"This scene mostly happens in transmigration novels I had read on webnovel. I can 't believe I'd actually see it real." she thought.

But the man began to sweat even more and tried to persuade them to leave until he heard footsteps and people talking.

His face paled and he wanted to faint.

He wasn't able to do as he was told. What will he do? If they fire him, how will he provide for his ailing wife and 6 children?

These two ladies before him were so hard-headed that they have landed him into trouble.
