[I'm done] Lory comes out wearing a white bathrobe, while drying her hair with a towel [Wanna take a shower?]
[En..] He gives a slight nod.
[Oh, put your clothes in the laundry bag... that's the bag where I put my dirty clothes, I have to wash your clothes quickly because we don't have clean clothes] Lory feels guilty Zhao Li Xin lives a hard life with her in her world while in the previous world, Zhao Li Xin pampered her with all the luxury that was no less than the emperor's daughter.
Zhao Li Xin who didn't notice Lory's trepidation answered casually while heading to the bathroom [Okay...]
After Zhao Li Xin went into the bathroom Lory used her powers to dry her hair then her hands stretched into the bathroom to pick up the dirty clothes while purposely averting her eyes from Zhao Li Xin's naked body knowing it would be difficult to control herself from gawking her husband's body
Once she managed to get all their clothes, she piled them all on the floor and then stretched her fingers while calculating how much Mana she would use.
"I hope it works"
For someone who has abundant mana like her is not an easy task, but what else could she do? She had no money to buy clothes and doing the laundry in the bathroom sink would take a long time and she couldn't leave them both naked because the obvious thing would happen besides, she still had an appointment with Madeline to settle their payment, but on second thought ... perhaps she should cancel the appointment...
Lory slaps her forehead to stop her wild thought, she reminds herself there are many things to do like buying a lot of daily necessities including cell phones, laptops, and cars.
Lory also considers leaving this city as soon as possible after what happened in the forest she worries those military people will notice something and look for her.
Oh well, he could only do one thing at that point. He raised his left hand and a small breeze came then slowly lift the clothes from the floor into the air.
Lory then raised her right hand soon after water droplets appeared then merged in the air then envelop the dirty clothes after that Lory snapped her fingers and the water began to swirl in the air just like a washing machine.
The water started spinning at the regular speed just like a washing machine and a minute later Lory clenched her fists as the water disappeared then came the wind which blew the wet clothes away and soon all the clothes started to dry and then they fell to the ground. floor.
[It's done] Lory sighed in relief for not wrecking the clothes instead. it seems her control got a lot better compared to the past.
Lory checked their clothes, thought it was not perfect but at least it didn't smell like sweat and dirt anymore, this should do for now. Just as she finished getting dressed someone knocked on her door.
Lory looked towards the bathroom to make sure Zhao Li Xin didn't show any signs to go out. Lory then opened the bedroom door and saw Madeline's face.
"Miss Jane, we have finished completing your payment we put everything on this card but do you have a minute because my boss wants to meet"
Lory didn't mind "Okay, when?"
"is it okay if it is right now?" Maddy looked at Lory hopefully.
"Okay, but I'll tell my husband first" replied Lory.
"Of course, I'll be waiting in front of the elevator, okay?" Maddy beamed with delight.
Lory closed the door at the same time the bathroom door opened and Zhao Li Xin with just a white towel covering her waist came out [Guild lass coming?] Zhao Li Xin recognized Madeline's voice.
Lory stares at Zhao Li Xin for a long moment before she answers [.....Yeah, she said his boss wants to see me would you like to come?]
Zhao Li Xin was used to being glanced at by his wife and he loved it but he replied nonchalantly, [No, I won't understand what you're talking about anyway, I'd rather continue cultivating the Immortal Flame]
[Okay, I'll tell you what they want, and I've washed your clothes but they're not completely clean yet so I hope you'll be patient for now, after this, we'll buy new clothes, a phone, tablet and anything you want okay since I already got the money" Lory waved the platinum card in front of Zhao Li Xin.
Lory's proud face amused Zhao Li Xin, but then again he felt uneasy to use Lory's money for his own need after all he came from an extreme patriarchy society.
Therefore, Zhao Li Xin was determined to return all of Lory's hard-earned money double if not triple once he understood the way of this world because after all his pride as a husband would not allow him to use his wife's money casually.
[Then, thank you for madam generosity] he jokes while bowing his head elegantly.
[Of course] Lory peck Zhao Li Xin's cheek [I'm going now, don't forget to lock the door after I left okay]
Zhao Li Xin chuckles [Yes, wife] he answers obediently but then something flashed in his dark eyes, [Lory, why don't you wear your jacket?] Even though Zhao Li Xin smiled with a gentle voice but his gaze was strict.
Lory just realized she has exposed too much skin for his standard, Lory smiled shyly then took the jacket and put it on in front of Zhao Li Xin [I'm going now]
[En, be careful,] Zhao Li Xin felt much better seeing Lory covering herself up, people in this world might say he was petty or old fashion but there were still some things he found hard to adjust to, luckily Lory didn't mind.
On the contrary, Lory always tried to understand his customs and view which she knew were very different from hers, therefore their relationship was relatively smooth sailing, and if it wasn't for Lazarus's problem they probably never would have encountered serious problems in their relationship.
However, if Loy knew what Zhao Li Xin was thinking, he would say that Zhao Li Xin was trying to adjust to him, he never forced Lory to do anything he didn't want and even if he forbade it because he was worried about Lory's safety, even though in the end Zhao Li Xin complied with Lory's wishes.
Zhao Li Xin also didn't expect that Lory would follow the views and ways of thinking of people in her world just like Lory who never forced Zhao Li Xin to change for her sake therefore despite all the turmoil and chaos around them, their relationship still remain strong.
Madeline took Lory upstairs and then took her to the only room in the place.
Madeline knocked on the door twice then a deep voice came from inside [Come in!]
Madeline opened the door and invited Lory to come in "Boss, I brought Miss Jane"
The big man behind the counter immediately put out his cigar on the ashtray then stood up and smiled "Miss Jane how are you" he stretched out his big hand.
Lory shook the man's hand with a friendly smile "I'm good, how about you sir...?"
"My name is Jack Quaid and I'm fine as well," he smiles flashing his white teeth.
However, what caught Lory's attention was callous on the man's palm which showed that he was used to handling weapons, and judging from his body posture it didn't seem like he had not stopped training, well Lory had expected this much so she wasn't surprised.
"Please have a sit Miss Jane" he invited Lory to sit down.
After Lory sat down Jack asked again, "Do you like coffee or tea?"
"Tea is fine," replied Lory.
Jack then signed Madeline to prepare the tea then he returned his gaze to Lory "Your husband is not coming with you" Jack asked.
Lory shook her head slowly "He's a bit tired so he rested..." Lory answered casually and Jack nodded in understanding without asking further.
Madeline came and then served a cup of hot tea for Lory and coffee for Jack.
"Thank you" Lory politely said and Madeline nodded her head with a smile then she took a seat on the sofa that was not too far from them and tidied the scattered papers, it seems she was not leaving them alone which make Lory more comfortable.
Jack clasped his hands on the table and then said seriously "First of all I would like to express my apologies for the misinformation we provided, frankly, I didn't expect Zhyger to wander around in that place because its habitat is usually on the top of mountains far away from human habitat but I guess it was after the dark ages when many Beasts leave their usual habitat" he sounded irritated and a little frustrated.
Now this shocked Lory, "Oh, pardon my rudeness but… I never thought the guild would care about the safety of hunters let alone a low-level hunter like me?"
