Chapter 120: Poisoning (2)
Xintu's troubled voice was quickly followed by Seol’s dissatisfied tone.
"We can’t take three people. If it were men, I could carry two on my back, but both of them are women. Yeongryeon isn’t strong enough to carry two people while running."
"I don’t want to ride on her back anyway! I’d rather just walk."
"I—I’m sorry! But I already apologized, didn’t I?"
"Does saying sorry just erase everything!?"
Even after another round of apologies, Seol’s anger hadn’t subsided.
The humiliation of having her pressure points sealed and her clothes stolen still weighed heavily on her.
Technically, there wasn’t much difference between her original outfit and being stripped, at least in terms of fabric coverage, but psychologically, it was an entirely different story.
"But no one else saw you, right?"
"What!? You saw me!"
"I—I’m sorry!"
With tensions still high, finalizing who would be traveling to the Martial Alliance was turning into a mess.
