Chapter 416: Western Regions (8)
—Shia. 『So-ryong, are you back? Could you tell me what happened today?』
Just as I finished talking with the village chief and reached for my curry again, a voice rang out.
It was Cheong-yu Sojeo’s voice.
‘Can’t I just eat in peace...?’
What kind of torture was this—being forced to pause while eating one of my favorite dishes?
Still, since it was Cheong-yu Sojeo asking, I figured I’d reply while grabbing bites in between.
I’d already shared what happened at the temple with the others the moment we arrived, but Cheong-yu Sojeo must have missed it since she’d been swapped out by the Golden Crown Snake King version of Cheong-yu.
She had been asleep, after all.
“Ah, right. I should tell you about today’s scouting. First off—we found the Five Venoms Clan.”
—Shiaa. 『That’s a relief! You found them quicker than I expected!』
Cheong-yu Sojeo sounded genuinely happy, her tone brightening as I mentioned the Five Venoms.
Her questions followed right after.
