Chapter 358: Shadow Cast By The Wind (1)
With its deep-rooted history, the Pung Empire was full of legends and folklore that traveled between villages, making the journey far from dull.
"Hey. Believe it or not, 200 years ago, a nine-tailed fox used to live right here!"
"Uh... Sure."
Anella wore an exasperated expression and tried to ignore the man at the next table, who was enthusiastically spitting as he talked.
"This outlander kid doesn't believe a word we say, huh. Haha!"
"Well, that's how it is! No one believed me for 28 years when I said I fought a two-headed wolf when I was a kid. It was such a headache!"
"That's because it's a lie!"
As the men continued their noisy conversation, Anella quickly got up and left the restaurant.
Cold sweat trickled down her back, melting away in the cool breeze of the Pung Empire.
"Phew. This is nice..."
The fresh air definitely had a way of lifting one's spirits. The men back in the restaurant were harmless—sure, they liked to exaggerate, but their real intent was to share the famous local legends and customs with outsiders.
