The Story of Nine Journeys

Weird Girl

The innkeeper met Jun Yuan after being told by a servant that things were safe,as an expression of his gratitude he allowed Jun Yuan to stay one more night without having to pay as well as a few gold pieces

The next day Jun Yuan continued on his way, he decided to meet one of his best friends first to ask for some information about the whereabouts of one of the Empress' medicinal herbs, it was better if the person he met knew both

After passing through the city gate Jun Yuan accelerated his pace, at a crossroad he turned left and entered the forest,as usual, he prefers to meet wild animals or demons rather than having to meet robbers or mountain bandits

Half a day passed by Jun Yuan arrived at the edge of the forest, he jumped down right under a large tree, in front of him was a lake, smiling backward behind his mask, and,after passing through the lake and a hill not far from it he will arrive at a village where his best friend lives

But his forehead creased as he looked at a woman by the lake, with his trained senses he felt a strange aura around the woman, as his breath felt a little claustrophobic,he turned around to continue his steps when a voice suddenly stopped him

" hey, why are you going, are you as afraid of me as they are "

This surprised him a little, he had suppressed his existence in addition from the beginning he was standing behind a big tree, that woman was really not a random person, he said,Because already and worried that the woman was offended he walked up to her

" waaahhh, I know you're not sep- "the woman hangs her words when she sees someone who shows up

" what the hell is that mask huh,,, so mysterious hmmpphh "the Woman grunts

Jun Yuan almost slipped when he heard it, recently there was a new person in his meeting with a bright light commenting on him wearing a mask

" quickly take off your mask or I'll forcefully open it" said the woman with a waistline

Jun Yuan was really shocked for him, other than his family no one else said that even people who knew him well no one dared, either,he watched carefully the woman in front of him who turned out to be a girl dressed in red with hair on a ponytail, her age might not be too much different from him, her face cute inversely proportional to her behavior

But to his surprise his body always gave a signal of danger as well as his instincts to feel the great power behind his tiny body

Without a warning, the girl moved quickly to remove the mask she was wearing,still surprised by the girl's behavior and the distance was too close he responded too late but instinctively his hand immediately grasped the handle of the sword on his waist

" your mask is pretty good and, uh," the girl froze just after seeing the face of the man she took the mask off

"waahhhh,, you're so handsome, I like that I like that you have to be my husband ya ya ya ya ya " eyes round white teeth lined up when smiling cheeks blushing and his innocent face making it look so adorable

Jun Yuan sighed, his hand releasing the sword he held because this time he felt no danger

" return my mask "

The girl shook her head, the mask she hid behind her back

" no, not until you promise to be my husband "

" quick return "

" no, I said no yes no "

" please, please, return "

" promise first "

" you think that's all married "

" of course "

Jun Yuan was annoyed by himself when his hand moved about to grab his mask he was again surprised when the girl jumped and danced on the lake water quickly

" get after if you can weeeekkk," the girl turned around as she ran and stuck out her tongue

One thing that came to his mind about the girl "TAK KNOW SHAME" was that he had to chase after her

not why, his aunt explained that the mask was one of his parents' relics so he did not want to lose it

Jun Yuan chased up to the island in the middle of the lake was not able to regain his mask, he finally gave up because there was more important business and he could not waste time like this

the girl snorted

" hmmph, you don't shout heh "

He took off one of the red ribbons that tied his hair and gave it and his mask to the man who had been chasing him

" keep that as a sign that you're my future husband, remember that "

The girl actually just wanted to play, though,he had no friends he could invite because the strict rules of his parents in the rage again his family has a high position in his residence makes it not arbitrary people who can approach him because only people of the same level or higher than him who can approach him while his degree is below him must respect him even have to bow if he meets him

" thank you "Jun Yuan received his mask which he immediately put back on

" you'd better tie a ribbon to the handle of your sword "

Jun Yuan frowned

" why,,,? "

" well, if it looks better, "the girl smiled with satisfaction

" actually where are you going "ask the girl

Jun Yuan did not answer

" oh, I want to take back your mask huh,,,, uh, are you on a mission but your clothes are not the clothes of a sect or you're a royal eye " the look on the girl's face changed while she was thinking and to be honest it was funny in Jun Yuan's eyes

" no " replied Jun Yuan briefly

" then why don't you tell me "

" sorry,,,"

" that's not the answer, aiish, you can't help but talk briefly heh "the girl shook her head

" sorry,,,"

" i'm sorry again, said another heh "

" what "

" anything,,,"

" let's tell "

" aarrrgghhh,, the long word "the girl to the point of stomping her feet was so irritated

" have you never spoken to your parents "

" i don't have parents "

" at last,, but a little longer, eh, what did you say was "the girl just realized the meaning of the man's answer before her

" i don't have parents "

" oh my god, I'm sorry" said the regretful girl

" it's okay "

The girl regained her emotions at Jun Yuan's reply, wanting her to tear the man's body apart

" name "

" uh, what "

" what's your name "

The girl patted her forehead, after so long she was with the man in front of her she just remembered they had not introduced themselves

" May,,, "

" May,," Jun Yuan said with his brows furrowed

" just call Mei "reply with the girl

" all right, Yuan "

Mei displayed her smile as Jun Yuan mentioned her name

" it turns out my future husband is named Yuan "

Jun Yua nodded

Mei removed a bracelet on Jun Yuan's wrist then replaced it with hers while he wore Jun Yuan's bracelet to replace his bracelet

" it's a reminder that you already have a future wife "

The sun was already leaning west when they parted shortly after exchanging bracelets

" the strange girl "murm Jun Yuan jumped on the branch of the tree he passed while staring at the bracelet in his hand

While far behind her the girl walked in opposite directions

" Yuan,, interesting, let's see how far you can go after knowing who I am "
