Free Web NovelChapter 2368: Chapter 2368: Noblewoman
"Big brother, don’t get too happy too soon. We’ve escaped, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we’re safe." That damned old man locked in the coffin actually made us take the Soul Severing Pill.
I’ve heard that this poison is extremely aggressive. Seems like the only way for us to survive is to help him find the treasured sword.
"Yeah, where can we find a sword that can cut through Mysterious Iron?" Thin Man also started to worry; these are world-class treasures, not so easily found!
Fat Man’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Go to the War Prince’s Mansion."
Thin Man was momentarily stunned: "War Prince’s Mansion?"
Fat Man: "Yeah! Didn’t we dig a tunnel that leads to the War Prince’s Mansion kitchen that day?"
Speaking of this tunnel, Thin Man was fuming. It was because of this tunnel that both brothers got poisoned, now their lives hang in the balance. He said angrily, "Who knows if the tunnel collapsed when we fell into the underground palace?"
Fat Man: "Let’s go back and check it out."
Thin Man: "Ah, I’m exhausted. Let’s rest a bit before talking!"
They had been trapped in the underground palace, and hadn’t closed their eyes for an entire day and night. Although they had eaten rat meat, after all this turmoil, it had long been digested, and their stomachs were growling again.
Fat Man rubbed his round belly and said, "That’s true, I’m starving. Let’s find a tavern to eat and sleep, I’m so tired."
Thin Man continued, "Fatty Brother, you have a lot of nerve. We’re on the brink of death, and you still have the mood to sleep!"
Fat Man: "Big brother, don’t worry, doesn’t it take seven days? We’re not in the right condition to head out now, it’s better to gather our strength and then head to the War Prince’s Mansion."
Shortly after, on the bustling street of the Capital appeared a pair of men, one tall, one short, one fat, one thin. They were completely soaked, even their hair was dripping water.
Their combination of builds already attracted attention, and their bedraggled appearance drew even more curious gazes.
Their turn-back rate on the street was a hundred percent, with people pointing and whispering about them.
The two brothers narrowly escaped death, poisoned, and were only thinking of quickly filling their stomachs, getting some sleep, and then heading to find the sword, return to the underground palace, hand it to the Elder, and exchange for the antidote. They couldn’t care about much else anymore, people could watch if they wanted to, they always caused a stir whenever they descended the mountain.
"Mama, mama, why is that uncle so tall? His legs look like two sticks, so small and thin, just like my wrist." A four or five-year-old Little Kid, dressed in silk clothes, pointed with chubby little hands at Thin Man and laughed heartily.
"What’s so interesting about him? The fat uncle next to him looks much better, his body is round like my Embroidered Ball." Next to Little Kid was a little girl, about the same age.
As they were about to enter the Drunken Sky Building, a sedan chair arrived across the street, from the carriage stepped out a noblewoman and two Little Kids.
The two Little Kids, oblivious to worldly dangers, laughed recklessly at the fat and thin men.
The noblewoman’s expression was very haughty, she didn’t care about the Little Kids pointing at the fat and thin men. She looked at Thin Man contemptuously, and then chuckled to herself a few times, stretched out a hand to hold the two Little Kids’ hands, and walked towards the tavern...
More than ten maids followed the noblewoman in succession, entering the tavern.
The two brothers watched them walk into the tavern with open eyes.
Thin Man was furious: "That damn woman is so arrogant, who the hell is she?"
