Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!-Chapter 238 - 238 Delivering Tea

238 Delivering Tea

As Kong Rui sipped her tea, she listened to the discussions of the people around her. From time to time, she would glance at the guests at the table.

Someone at the neighboring table seemed to realize these people’s identities and he lowered his voice as he said to his companion, “They seem to be from the northernmost tribe.”

“It’s said that those people are good at controlling beasts. Spirit beasts that our empire can’t control are just ordinary beasts to them. I heard that their capital is frozen all year round, and those people are still living a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Moreover, their race is very strange. Women have a higher status than men! I think…” As the person spoke, he glanced at those people. “Those people are most likely from there! ”

That person spoke very seriously. so he was very convincing.

Kong Rui frowned slightly, but she doubted that person’s judgment.

She had read about the tribal people in the extreme north. Although there was a tradition of women being superior to men, their clothes seemed to be a little different from those of the people in front of her.

In addition, the book also recorded that the tribes and people in the extreme north had a feud with the other sects and clans in the five continents. It was even more impossible for them to bring a disciple in the attire of the Profound Heaven Sect with them.

Kong Rui was even more curious about the identities of these people, but she was even more curious about why these foreigners were here at this time.

She wasn’t a patriotic person. She just didn’t like people coming all the way here to obstruct her plans!

“Did you notice? That woman has a strange smell on her,” said a greasy-looking man at the table on the other side of Kong Rui.

Kong Rui immediately pricked up her ears to listen to see what the other party had to say.

“What smell? It’s just the stench of animal skin! Could it be that you want to say it’s the smell of blood?” A friend beside him looked indifferent.

The man waved his hand and said in disdain, “You guys don’t understand these things! That woman has the smell of a special spice from High Heaven Pavilion. That smell is really…” As the man spoke, he even revealed an intoxicated expression.

His friend beside him sneered. “You even know the smell of High Heaven Pavilion’s special spices? Are you…”

The greasy man slapped his friend’s hand away and scolded, “Can’t I have a few good besties?”

“It just so happens that I have some of those spices here. Come and smell them. Is this the smell?!” As he spoke, he took out a small incense box from the small bag he carried with him.

Everyone at the same table leaned over to smell it. Then, they frowned slightly and someone said, “It seems to be the same smell!”

“When they passed by, I felt that they smelled different from the girls in the Imperial Capital. So it was this smell!”

Kong Rui subconsciously sniffed towards the direction of the table, but she didn’t smell anything. Instead, she choked on the greasy-haired man’s strong smell of cosmetics and coughed a few times.

Her cough seemed to alarm the people at the animal fur woman’s table.

When the woman in animal skin looked up at Kong Rui and saw that she seemed to have really choked on something, only then did she retract her gaze and continue listening to the gray-robed old man.

Kong Rui took a while to calm down before picking up her teacup again and taking a sip.

“Eh, it’s cold already.” She put down the teacup and called the waiter over.

The waiter went to Kong Rui’s side with a frightened expression. “Miss, what instructions do you have?”

Kong Rui sized up the waiter before saying with a smile, “Today’s tea is not bad. Pack some for me and send it to Fragrant Garden in the evening.” f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

“Fragrant Garden?” The waiter couldn’t help but call out, but he quickly suppressed his surprise.
