章節 184: Standing Out

Old man Ling leads us to a small shop with clothes of all kinds. A young woman comes over with a bright smile and says "How can I help you?" Old man Ling says "Give me your best dress in white for the lady and something nice for her escort." 

The woman quickly nods and disappears as I turn and look at Old man Ling with a frown. He gives me a toothy grin as he says "The stories always talk about you in white." I nod my head slightly but still feel uneasy. I don't like how all these people seem to know me and what I like...

An hour later, Ted and I walk out looking like new people. I tell the old man that I'll pay him back but he refuses and says "Just ease the deity's anger and bring back the rain." I nod in thanks and leave the small town with Ted.
