The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 605

Chapter 605 - Something Amiss (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside the restaurant, a woman with messy hair and shabby clothes had been thrown out of the building entrance. Without a care for her own condition, she immediately tried to get up to barge back into the restaurant.

“Let me in! My children… my children are still inside…” That woman reached forward to enter the restaurant but was instantly thrown out again by a waiter from the restaurant.

The surrounding spectators seemed to be used to such scenes and appeared to be eagerly waiting for the chance to watch a good show.

The woman was filthy and her raised hands were black with dirt. She stared into the building with bloodshot eyes, repeatedly trying to barge into the restaurant. Every time they threw her out, she would rise again with renewed efforts.

“Let me in! My children! Give me back my children!” The woman wailed out her heart-wrenching plea. But the faces of the bystanders held not the slightest bit of sympathy.

Ji Fengyan and Lu Shaoqing followed the sounds of the commotion and saw that woman being pushed to the ground.

Ji Fengyan’s face immediately tightened. Without another word, Lu Shaoqing stepped up to block the waiter who was just preparing to kick the woman. He admonished in an imperious voice, “How could you perform such a cruel act in broad daylight and in public?”

Startled, the waiter left his leg hanging in mid-air.

Meanwhile, seeing someone willing to help her, the woman instantly threw herself by Lu Shaoqing feet. She clutched desperately onto the side of his pants.

“Save my children!”

Lu Shaoqing’s brows wrinkled unwittingly. His gaze toward that restaurant staff had become increasingly sharp.

Under Lu Shaoqing’s harsh glare, the staff licked his lips rather sheepishly. He murmured, “Don’t listen to her crazy talk. This is a mad woman spouting nonsense day and night. None of her words are true.”

“What the hell is going on?” Ji Fengyan asked in a solemn voice.

The waiter knew that Lu Shaoqing and Ji Fengyan were not from Ping City as they looked very unfamiliar. Unwilling to stir trouble for himself, he reluctantly started explaining.

That woman had been a refugee who fled to Ping City. Arrangements for her housing were to be arranged per the Ping City’s rules. However, that was a period when a large number of villages had come under demon attack and there had been an influx of refugees. Unable to arrange all those accommodations in time, they had placed a portion of the refugees in restaurant lodgings across the city.

This woman had initially stayed in that restaurant. She came bearing two bundles as if carrying two babies. She had them in a tight embrace the entire day and did not allow anyone to even look.

In the end… people realized that she was not carrying any babies but two bundles of straw!

After being found out, the woman had gone mad and insisted that they had abducted her children. However, apart from herself, no one else had entered her room. Everyone in the restaurant could bear witness to that.

Everyone thought that the woman must have gone insane with grief after losing her children to the demons. They had been sympathetic at first, but the woman kept insisting her children were still alive and that she had personally brought them into Ping City. She had squatted outside the restaurant day and night looking for her children. People started getting irritated by her behavior and felt that this crazy woman was purposely creating a fuss for no reason.

“Her children have probably long perished, but she wants to blame it on our restaurant. We had let her stay here out of kindness, only to have her turn around and accuse us. How could there be such unfairness in this world?” The waiter got increasingly angry as he spoke. If not for Ji Fengyan and Lu Shaoqing’s presence, he would have hit her again.
