What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 129 Daily Life. - Four girls today 8. Wei Qingping’s “monologue”.

In the previous chapter, we saw how the Swordsman King and Wei Qingping worked together to kill two "Iron Hoof Beasts." Fortunately, these two "Iron Hoof Beasts" were just ordinary wild beasts, so killing them wasn't difficult at all. However, there were some unexpected incidents along the way. Please see the previous chapter for details.

Afterwards, the Swordsman King dealt with the bodies of the two "Iron Hoof Beasts". Then, Wei Qingping also began to talk to the Swordsman King about herself and the other three girls.

As they were chatting, Wei Qingping happened to talk about how she knew them.

Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "That day, I was cornered by several classmates in the playground. They wanted me to pay them, but I didn't have any money... By the way, do you have any money?"

King Jianhao stopped what he was doing and answered Wei Qingping's sudden question. He told Wei Qingping, "What does this have to do with me? I'm not a king anymore, and I have no money!"

Wei Qingping quickly explained her "question," saying, "No, I'm asking you, when you were in school, there were always classmates asking you for money, did you have the money to give them?"

The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "You won't give me money even if I have it! When I was in school, I was quite tall, so not many people dared to ask me for money."

When the Swordsman King said this, Wei Qingping suddenly realized that she had grown taller. She put the fire materials she had picked up on the ground and asked the Swordsman King, "When I return to my original world, I won't become short again, right?"

The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "How would I know that..."

Before Wei Qingping could say anything, the Swordsman King said to her, "Go on with your story. If you keep asking and answering questions with me, we'll have to stop what we're doing. This dinner will be completely delayed."

Wei Qingping quickly continued to look for and pick up materials that could be used to make fire.

After a while, she continued to talk about her own affairs with the Swordsman King.

Wei Qingping thought for a moment, then continued to tell the Sword King about her "past." She told the Sword King, "Just now... that day, I was cornered in a corner of the playground by a few classmates, and then they just happened to arrive. Mingyi shouted at us, 'What are you doing?', and then the classmates who were blocking me all looked at Mingyi and the others."

Having said this, Wei Qingping stopped, as if she was carefully recalling the scene at that time.

Seeing Wei Qingping was stunned, the Sword Master King asked Wei Qingping, "What then? Go on."

Wei Qingping's memory might have been a little hazy. She told the Swordsman King, "And then nothing happened... I don't know why, but my classmates stared at Mingyi and the others for a while, then left on their own. Afterwards, those classmates who used to block me often never asked me for money again."

King Jianhao thought to himself, "This is like a jackal meeting a tiger and a leopard." Then he asked Wei Qingping, "You didn't even know them in the beginning, why did they come to help you?"

Wei Qingping shook her head and told the Swordsman King, "I don't know! Maybe they saw that I had the potential to join them... Mingyi and the others are better, they can join without paying!"

The Swordsman King stroked his beard and thought to himself, "This doesn't sound right..." Then he said to Wei Qingping, "Go on!"

Wei Qingping then told the Swordsman King, "After that incident, they came to ask me out to play once. A few days later, I officially joined Mingyi and the others. After that, they took me out to play almost every day, and I didn't have to pay for anything we did or ate."

The Swordsman King thought to himself, "Oh, it seems that those students who bullied her didn't dare to ask her for money anymore because they saw that she was always followed by people." He then asked Wei Qingping, "It's a good thing you didn't meet a bad person. It sounded like a scam to me..."

Before the Swordsman King could finish, Wei Qingping angrily threw everything she had picked up on the ground. She angrily said to the Swordsman King, "Hey! Don't talk about my friend like that! You're the bad guy!"

After she finished speaking, Wei Qingping squatted on the ground. She was angry and thinking about the past. As she thought about it, tears began to flow.

Seeing Wei Qingping crying, King Jianhao realized that what he said was indeed too much. When he thought about his past experiences, he felt that he was not as good as this little girl who was like a "blank sheet of paper" in front of him.

The Swordsman King said to Wei Qingping in a comforting tone, "Don't cry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to your friend. I've been in this alien world for so long that I've become a bad uncle."

Seeing Wei Qingping still with her head down, the Sword King felt even more guilty. He said to Wei Qingping, "Don't be angry. We'll have barbecue later. If you're in a bad mood, even delicious food will taste bad!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Swordsman King sped up the process of dealing with the beast's corpse.

After a while, Wei Qingping started to prepare the fire again. As she was not in a good mood at the moment, she stopped talking and worked silently.

After working for a long time, King Jianhao and Wei Qingping finally ate the delicious barbecue from another world, and the meat they ate was the meat of wild beasts that did not exist in their original world.

Wei Qingping ate while smelling the aroma. With her mouth full of grease, she said to the Sword Master King, "Oh my God! This is so delicious! It's much better than the grilled fish!"

Seeing Wei Qingping enjoying her meal, the Swordsman King knew the past was over. He said to Wei Qingping, "It's not bad. Although I haven't been an adventurer for many years, I still remember how to make this 'Adventurer's Barbecue'."

While eating the delicious barbecue, Wei Qingping asked the Swordsman King, "I see you didn't add anything to it, how come it's so delicious?"

The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "Grilling doesn't necessarily require a ton of seasonings; the way you cut and grill it also makes it delicious. This also shows that you're really hungry and would be happy with something greasy. You haven't eaten since leaving the lake, and you've been hungry for days."

As Wei Qingping ate, she thought to herself, "If Mingyi gets a bite of this, she'll definitely eat all the meat!"

King Jianhao then said to Wei Qingping, "After we finish the meat, we can still have steaks. After we finish the steaks, we can roast the bones. The stuff inside the bones is delicious."

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "How come you know how to eat so well?" After asking, she changed her mind and said to King Jianhao, "It would be great if Mingyi could have such delicious barbecue too. It's a pity she's not here."

When the Swordsman King saw that Wei Qingping was thinking of his friends, he asked Wei Qingping, "Have you ever gone to eat barbecue together before?"

Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "Yes! We've eaten together! Whenever the four of us go out to play, we always have dinner together before going home."

After hearing this, the Swordsman King thought to himself, "She just said that she often goes out to play with friends, and junior high school girls always eat out. Is that true?" Thinking of this, he asked Wei Qingping, "It seems that you often eat out at night. Doesn't your family call you back for dinner?"

Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "I remember that only Mingyi's family cooked dinner at night. Mine and the other two families didn't cook at night. My aunt was too busy, so I had to take care of dinner by myself. Jiahui and Xinyang's families might be too busy too..."

After hearing this, King Jianhao became curious. He asked Wei Qingping, "Do you live with your aunt?"

Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "Yes... Ever since I can remember, my parents have been missing. I've been living with one aunt or another since I was little. If I hadn't seen their photos, I wouldn't know what they look like."

When King Jianhao heard Wei Qingping talking about family affairs, he couldn't help but think of his own family affairs.

After a while, the Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping again, "Have you ever been to your friend's house?"

Wei Qingping told King Jianhao, "No, I haven't been there. We haven't known each other for long. I just met them last semester." After she said that, she just finished the barbecue in her hand, and then went to get the steak to continue eating.

After hearing this, the Swordsman King thought to himself, "As expected..."

While chewing on a steak, Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King, "My luck has improved since I've been with them."

The Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping, "Did you win the lottery later?" After asking, he thought to himself, "I wonder if there will still be such a thing as a 'lottery' in that world decades after I traveled through time."

Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "This isn't a matter of winning the lottery! Every year I almost get hit by a car while crossing the road, but since I met them, nothing bad has happened to me."

King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "I don't understand metaphysics, but it seems that these three people must be your benefactors, helping you to change your luck. Wait, it can't be that you are unlucky and that is why they were buried alive..."

Wei Qingping immediately lost her temper and said to the Swordsman King, "Hey! You're going a bit too far! What do you mean by 'I...'" Although she was very angry, she changed her mind and said, "Maybe it's really possible that I have implicated everyone? But according to the words of the gods, it doesn't seem to be that meaning..."

Just as Wei Qingping was lost in thought, the Swordsman King said to her jokingly, "Look. Was I still a king before I met you, and after I met you, I started running for my life?"

After hearing this, Wei Qingping became even more confused. She thought to herself, "Could it be that I'm really unlucky and have caused harm to others..."

Seeing that Wei Qingping actually took it seriously, the Swordsman King didn't know whether to laugh at her or pity her.

After a long silence, the Swordsman King, who was chewing on a steak, suddenly said to Wei Qingping, "Alright! God of bad luck. Stop thinking so much and eat!"

Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King, "There's no such thing as a bad luck god. I've already said I'm a 'prophet'!"

The Swordsman King said to Wei Qingping, "If you are really that unlucky, no matter how many 'prophets' you have, they will be of no use to you."

What followed was basically just idle chat with no real value.

After the Sword Master King had eaten his fill, he said to Wei Qingping, "Let's pick up some more branches to fuel the fire before it gets dark. We'll spend the night here and set off tomorrow morning."

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "There's still so much meat left. Will it go bad if we leave it out?"

King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "There's nothing we can do if it's broken. If only we had a pot, we could keep cooking it so it wouldn't break easily. Later, we can dry the meat out a bit and remove any moisture. Maybe it can keep longer."

Wei Qingping then asked King Jianhao, "Can we dry it by smoking?"

When the Swordsman King heard the word "smoky," he almost laughed out loud. He told Wei Qingping, "Silly child, we're running for our lives. This smoke is too big. It would be terrible if someone saw us."

Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King, "I don't think anyone is really catching up with us. The cliff is so steep..."

The Swordsman King said to Wei Qingping, "It's hard to say. It's better to be careful. We can all use climbing tools to get up, and maybe those who are chasing us will do the same."

Wei Qingping looked at the pile of fragrant barbecued meat, feeling a little reluctant to leave. She suddenly asked the Sword Master King, "But we have been burning fires these days, grilling fish and meat, doesn't that also produce smoke?"

King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "Have you forgotten how complex the terrain was that we were walking through? We only lit such a small fire, and the smoke wasn't that big, so it wouldn't be easy to be discovered. If we were to use 'smoke blast', we wouldn't be able to control the smoke."

Wei Qingping suddenly started thinking and said to the Swordsman King, "It would be great if there was a 'range hood'!"

King Jianhao was speechless after hearing this and said to Wei Qingping, "Alright! Stop saying useless things." Then he thought to himself, "It's been decades since I last saw a 'range hood'. I wonder if that world still has household appliances like 'range hoods' decades after I traveled here."

Wei Qingping suddenly said to the Swordsman King, "Even if they saw us, they might not be able to catch up with us. You almost got lost before, and the people chasing us might get lost too."

King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "Can you please not bring this up? But you're right. Even if we saw him, we might not be able to catch up quickly. Forget it! Let's not take that risk. After all, it's best not to be discovered."

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Oh right! What if the people chasing us use dogs to track us? Wouldn't that mean we can't escape?"

The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "There are no such things as cats and dogs in this other world."

Wei Qingping muttered, "Oh, so it doesn't exist in another world. I said I'd never seen it before."

Next, we are almost done with Wei Qingping's story. After we finish telling about Wei Qingping's day, we will of course talk about other things.
