Chapter 12: I'll be covering you from now on

Ethan didn't care and continued to survey her.

  This heroine was about 5'5", even shorter than Evelyn. But she didn't give off the "she's small" vibe at all. This probably comes from her explosive body and the body of a tough bloodthirsty temperament ...... as well as the hand carrying the long knife more than a metre long.

  The heroine originally has a slightly bewitching melon face, and a pair of very beautiful big eyes, think in the jianghu should also have a "slut fox" and other nicknames. But her eyebrows are fierce, no charm, and the left side of the face from the corner of the eye next to the narrow scar pulled down at least five centimetres long is also the beauty of the destruction of very little left. Other than that, the only thing that attracted attention was probably her graceful neck.

  It was a pity that the jianghu people's skin was not snow-white after being exposed to the wind and sun.

  Ethan thought for a moment, getting up and walking into the bedroom, picking through the wardrobe before choosing a set of clothes that would suit her.

  A pair of Hibbing house shorts that she'd been wearing as pyjama trousers since she'd bought them, so short that her thighs were only about a third of the way covered when she wore them herself, roughly the equivalent of a pair of boxer shorts that were a little wider and styled to be able to be worn out of the house.

  A solid grey body shirt.

  "These are my clothes, so you'll have to make do with them for now! I'll get you a new set when we get out." Ethan took the clothes and handed them to her and said, "By the way, you do wear body suits and stuff, right? Like wraps and corsets."

  "Yes!" Phoebe took the dress, "What's a woman walking the streets without a chest wrap!"

  "Fair enough." Ethan looked at her bulging breasts, if she didn't wrap her breasts, when she was running away, the picture was unimaginable. "By the way, are you wearing panties?"

  "Panties?" The heroine blinked.

  "......" Ethan was silent, "If you don't mind wearing them like this, I'll buy them for you when we get out."

  "No problem, jungle children don't hold back!" The heroine took the clothes and pointed to the bedroom, "I'm changing in here, right?"

  "Hmm."

  "Thanks a lot, I, Phoebe, take this favour!" She casually placed the glass of water, which hadn't moved, on the coffee table and headed for the bedroom, still carrying the knife in her hand.

  After half a day of rustling, the heroine finally came out, "I'll leave my clothes with you for now, don't throw them away for me, I'll need to wear them later!"

  Ethan looked at it and thought that the heroine's intelligence still had something to offer - she compared the look of the body shirt and shorts that Ethan was wearing, and slipped the dress trousers over her body without putting them on backwards, or making jokes about wearing trousers inside shorts or anything like that.

  Seeing that the heroine was wearing Ethan's shorts, which looked a bit wide, revealing a pair of snow-white well-proportioned legs underneath, straight and taut, very powerful; the upper body Ethan was wearing a bit small t-shirt on her body was still very large, almost covering her buttocks, and the bulging breasts were still pushing out the shirt with two bulges, which looked like a kind of strange temptation - -It would have been even better if she hadn't worn her black brogues on her feet.

  Ethan silently found his flip-flops for her, "Wear these, you don't mind, do you?"

  "Don't mind!" The heroine said, "It's just that won't this ...... be weird to wear out of the house?"

  "No, a lot of people wear this in the summer."

  "What about dress trousers? Do people in your world dress like that?" The heroine tugged at the wide cuffs of her dress and shorts, "In our world, only people who can't afford clothes in the poorer parts of the country dress like that."

  "Anyone who wears less than that." Ethan said, gesturing to her shorts, "Just out and about you'd better be careful, if there's a breeze it might lift the shorts up and you're inside ......"

  "OK! It's rather cool." The heroine hangs on to his flip flops with one finger in each hand, "How should I put this on?"

  A few moments later, with her flip-flops on, the heroine emerged from the bedroom, "Can we go out now?"

  "Well, wait a minute."

  "Okay ......," Woman was already starving.

  Ethan raced downstairs to see if Elaine was there, and only when he confirmed that Elaine had gone out did he repeat his return to the third floor and say to the heroine, "Okay, we're out the door now. But remember, it's fine to look around like a curious baby, but don't touch or talk around. Stay close to me, don't run around, listen to me, and ask my opinion beforehand about what you want to do ......"

  "Curious baby ......," the heroine froze.

  "Hmm?"

  "I see." The heroine chose to bow down to the big man.

  "Good!"

  Ethan opened the bedroom door then, and Woman was right behind him, watching every move he made.

  "Right!" Ethan suddenly turned his head, "You're going to have to leave your sword here. In our world knives and swords are controlled weapons and are not to be taken all over the streets."

  "Hmm? Not even a knife can be taken out of the house?" The always honest female warrior frowned at this time, "Weapons are the fundamentals of interdependence for jianghu people, a guarantee of life and a symbol of status. Even the officials in our world will not seize swords! Not to mention that this blade is the one I spent two silver lumps ...... on."

  "I can't take you out to dinner without putting down the sword."

  "Ta ......"

  The long sword fell to the ground.

  The warrior woman looked at him seriously, "Let's go."

  As he descended the stairs Woman had been following him silently, quietly surveying the suddenly richer world.

  The front desk had been air-conditioned, with cold air constantly blowing out, unusually cool for this summer; leather light brown sofas and glass coffee tables, small brightly coloured benches, counters adorned with mirrors reflecting direct silhouettes of people and various decorative items hanging on the walls; soft, pure music emanating from a desktop stereo, a ticking clock that ticked away, and a thin, skinny man sitting inside the counter constantly tapping on the keyboard of his laptop computer Little girl ......

  Of course, all of these heroines were quite unfamiliar.

  "Ta-da-da-da ......"

  The crisp sound kept coming.

  Evelyn was knocking obliviously, and a sweet smile that was hard to see on a normal day overflowed between her eyebrows, as if she had reached some kind of heavenly realm. But just then, Ethan walked down-

  Brush!

  The little girl's body directly trembled, her smile stiffened on her face, and she stopped typing in a panic, then closed her laptop as if nothing had happened.

  "Boss!"

  "Hmm." Ethan gave her a curious look, "What are you doing?"

  "Nothing ...... nothing." The little girl panicked.

  "I see you've been typing eh." Ethan looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you so nervous, I'm not docking your wages, said you could just play."

  "No ...... no!" The little girl quickly waved her hands.

  "But I heard you keep typing eh ......"

  "No ......"

  "Yesterday too."

  "No ...... I was just ...... casually playing around."

  "Talking to your boyfriend, right?"

  "Huh?" Evelyn froze, then her face abruptly turned redder, "No! I don't have a boyfriend."

  "Oh so!" Ethan nodded, "I'll take one of my friends out for a walk first, and if Elaine comes back, have her do the grocery shopping! Um, buy more for the fridge."

  "Hmm." Evelyn nodded her head in a rush and quietly looked over at the woman behind Ethan, only to make eye contact with the other woman.

  Abruptly, she withdrew her gaze like a frightened rabbit.

  Ethan then pushed out the door with the heroine -

  A completely unfamiliar, incomparably rich and shocking world unfolded in Phoebe's eyes!

  She subconsciously held her breath!

  The morning sunlight was perfect, bright but not too hot, reflecting a shimmering light on the freshly sprinkled streets.

  There was traffic, buildings so tall she had to lift her head to see the tops of them, ornamental plants blooming all year round in the flowerbeds, huge signboards and shops of all sorts close by; the passers-by were all dressed in cool, but good-quality clothes, and there was no one with a pout or a grovelling face or a sword or a weapon in the street; rather, there were groups of children running from one side to the other and passing her by, laughing and giggling, with a snack in their hands. Crossed her from the other side far away ......

  The heroine was deeply shocked!

  Ethan was patient too, standing by and waiting for her, and it took a while before he said, "Let's go."

  At this point the heroine took a quick step to follow him, "This is your world? Station Master."

  "Keep your voice down so no one knows you're from another world." Ethan said to her calmly, not caring that a person was brushing past them at that moment.

  "Oh." The heroine nodded and really lowered her voice.

  She clattered on her flip-flops, because of her short legs she had to stride very fast to keep up with Ethan, and these shoes were really getting on her nerves, "Did you just say that girl was talking to her boyfriend? What do you mean boyfriend? But that's just her!"

  "It's when two people like each other and fall for each other, but aren't officially married. In order to try and see if they fit together, the two people identify this relationship with each other 'above strangers or friends, but below husband and wife' as a boyfriend and girlfriend, also known as lovers. The male is called the female's boyfriend and the female is called the male's girlfriend." Ethan said, "And naturally our world has the means to communicate with people thousands of miles away across space."

  "And that's possible?"

  "What?" Ethan chuckled, "Surprised?"

  "It's also ...... okay, in our world, although it's very much not ...... recognised as such a relationship, there are actually people who are still privately engaged before they get married." The heroine was surprised by this.

  "This is not quite the same."

  "I can understand that."

  "Pfft!!!"

  "Eh? Station Master-sama, what's that look on your face?"

  "Nothing." Ethan waved his hand in a hurry, changed the topic and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

  The heroine's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and she rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said, "Well, I'll just eat whatever I want! ...... Or we can just find a stall on the roadside and eat a bowl of yangchun noodles at random!"

  "Yangchun noodles are plain noodles in clear soup, right? ...... Who still eats vegetarian noodles in this day and age!" Ethan frowned, "I do know of a Chinese restaurant at the back gate of the university that is very cheap. His hot and sour noodles are delicious, and the beef noodles are also good, with plenty of beef, go over and have a bowl of beef noodles."

  "Beef noodles??" The heroine was very shocked, then she gulped and became even more embarrassed, "Then ...... that'll break your bank!"

  Ethan glanced at her and smiled, "Let's go."

  Along the way the heroine was again a whole lot of questions, such as what is running on the highway ah, why those people riding on two wheels as long as the legs make a strong pumping will not fall ah, who is singing and playing the musical instruments in the shop selling clothes on the street ah. Those red fruits in the window are skewered into a string of what ah why the road people take in eating ah good ah, how much a string of how much money she a money penny can buy a few strings of ......

  Ethan had no choice but to buy her a bunch of strawberry ice candy gourds and let her eat them as she walked along the way.

  It was hard to get to the noodle shop, Ethan found a corner with no one in it and sat down, ordering her a bowl of three taels of beef noodles with a fried egg and a marinated egg, the two of them staring at each other wide-eyed.

  "Lord Station Master, look at your expression ...... Did I give you trouble?"

  "No."

  "No is good." Phoebe finished with a sigh of relief, and pointed to a table next to the couple showing love, "That pair of men and women are lovers, right, what are the things they are holding in their hands? I've seen you use it too, is it some kind of spell or something."

  "That's called a mobile phone, it's one of the artefacts we use to communicate across the air with people who are miles away."

  "Oh, a mobile phone." The heroine secretly noted down the name and continued to quietly stare at those two, "Say, don't you guys feel like it's degrading or something when they're so blatantly flirting in broad daylight? In our world, they would definitely be called dog men and women! Even the most famous White-haired Twins in the Jianghu would not dare to be like this!"

  Ethan turned his head to take a glance and gritted his teeth, "That's right! This pair of dogs ...... is really indecent!"

  It wasn't until the beef noodles were served that the warrior woman subsided a little and turned her attention to the noodles.

  She ate the noodles similarly to Elaine, by chucking the beef on top of the noodles one by one and eating it all before she started eating the noodles underneath.

  Within two bites, the heroine looked up again, "Eh? Aren't you eating?"

  "I had breakfast."

  "Oh." The heroine was too embarrassed.

The bowl of beef noodles came in a delicate white porcelain sea bowl with actual beef on it, and the broth was so thick and flavourful that she simply wanted to scream out and guess that the price wasn't low!

  Phoebe had eaten beef once in the course of her journey, just that once, or at a certain big brother's 60th birthday banquet. At that time, that big brother sent his disciples to the next village to steal two whole cows to kill, cooked a dozen pots, and the jianghu people who smelled the wind came to sit around the pots all over the grass, the flavour of the beef and the atmosphere of the feast is still fresh in her mind! And that was the only time in Phoebe's life that she ate meat to her heart's content.

  The flavour of beef boiled in plain water is naturally not as good as modern beef boiled with various spices and deodorisation processes, so despite the small portion, Phoebe felt it was better than the one she had eaten before.

  And the last time I was afraid to eat, afraid of being known by the government, but this time it is frankly sitting in an extraordinary decorative shop, do not have to worry about breaking the law and so on. Also with a fried egg, blowing a cold wind from a strange object.

  Phoebe felt only one word, cool!

  After finishing the noodles and drinking the soup to the bottom, Phoebe stood up and watched Ethan blearily as he settled the bill.

  The three taels of noodles were eight dollars, and the fried eggs and marinated eggs totalled three dollars, for a total of eleven dollars.

  The heroine remembered it well.

  "It seems that the money in this world is quite valuable, so big a bowl of noodles plus beef is actually only eight dollars, so counting up one's own room fee seems to be a total of two hundred and twenty dollars ......" The heroine's expression suddenly froze down, wrenching her fingers and blinking her eyes continuously for a long time before she She came to the conclusion--

  "Did I not sleep through more than twenty bowls of beef noodles in one night!" The heroine's eyes widened in shock.

  She was inwardly apprehensive as she mechanically moved her feet to keep up with Ethan, feeling her whole being lose its vigour all of a sudden.

  How long would she have to work to earn back that much money?

  If she were in the original world, it would take four or five days to earn more than two hundred pennies if things went well. If it didn't go well, it would take half a month, and she would still have to put her head on her shoulders!

  Phoebe hurriedly followed Ethan and said, "That station master, that bowl of noodles ......"

  "What?" Ethan turned his head, only to see this heroine entangled her hands tightly together in front of her body, full of tangled and embarrassed, "I don't have any money ...... right now."

  Ethan instantly laughed, "A bowl of face value is a few dollars, count it as my treat."

  "Huh?" The heroine froze, then rubbed her hands together again and laughed, "How can this ...... this work!"

  Ethan waved his hand and continued walking forward.

  The heroine, on the other hand, followed behind at a fast pace, while shouting, "I, Phoebe, have remembered the favour of this bowl of noodles, and I've made you a friend! Eh you walk slowly! I'm telling you don't take my words seriously, if you have anything to say to me, I, Phoebe, promise not to be ambiguous!"

  Ethan completely ignored her, even pretending to look like he didn't recognise her at all, and turned straight into a lingerie shop.

  It wasn't good to keep letting the heroine come up empty, so shopping for clothes started with lingerie Let's go!
