SORCERESS 101 Chapter 48

Mu Lingxi took a glimpse back to the Mu clan's residence . She will be lying to herself if she would say that her heart did not ache for this kind of departure .

Somehow, even she just met them not too long ago, she still has some attachment towards them . Especially to the clan head, she treated Mu Ruochen as her own grandfather .

There is also the sick looking maid Yanyan .

"It saddens me to think that I can't bring her with me," Mu Lingxi said as she started to walk away .

Ja.n.u.s could feel how heartbroken Mu Lingxi was . He tries to chat at her to ease the heavy feeling but the little girl becomes quite melancholic as they walk farther, away from her supposed home .

Her sorrow was not unfounded . After all, she thought that for the first time, she will finally got to know how it feels to have a family she could call her own . Yet before she could enjoy it, reality slaps her hard .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntShe learned the harsh truth, in a hard way . In this world, you better not trust anyone aside from yourself . Lest you get yourself betrayed by the one you trust the most .

Just like what happens to her now, it was like she was given a taste of love from a family . One of the things that she really craved for .

She was given hope when she was at her most vulnerable state . Then it was taken away from her when she was starting to learn to depend on it .

The night was dark, for the moon was young and the stars were asleep and rare . The clouds were thick and it does not help to lighten up the ambiance but it rather painted everything blue .

They continue to move forward but as if fate is not yet contented, a heavy downpour of rain precipitated soaking the bustling city wet .

Many ran at the sidewalk to look for shelter, and so are the main character and her pet cat, Ja.n.u.s

The good thing is that, not too far away from where they took shelter, they saw a busy tavern packed with people .

On its chimney, one can see an emission of thin smoke as if an inanimate signboard, waving to the customer to come in . The savory smell permeated the air . As soon as Mu Lingxi and Ja.n.u.s got a whiff of the smell, their stomach growl in unison .

It was only this time that Mu Lingxi realized how hungry she was . She chose to set aside the loneliness churning in her heart since she understands that glooming over it won't do her any good .

The master and cat duo took a sprint towards the busy tavern . At its door hang a plaque saying 'IM HUNGRY', written in an artistic way .

"Hmmm . . . I bet the owner of the store put more effort into writing it rather than thinking the t.i.tle itself . "

The tavern was like an 'eat-all-you-can' place . They have to pay 100 gold coins per head if they would like to eat . An additional 50 gold coins if they would like to stay for the night .

Mu Lingxi pays a total of 250 gold coins . Just enough for food for two and one room in one night . It was all thanks to Ja.n.u.s' wittiness . He manages to put a pile of gold coins in the storage ring when he took a 'casual visit' on the Mu clan's treasury .

******

"MEOW"

[Well it was such a pity to just let you guys piling up there useless . Come with me and I will put you in good use . ]

Ja.n.u.s said while he was trying to gather the pile of gold coins inside the storage ring using his two cute little paws .

He even have the audacity to hum the tune of 'marry had a little lamb' while he was busy wiping the floor littered with gold coins .
