The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

334: The Ever Quick on Her Feet Barit

Don’t be fooled by Barit’s tyrannical attitude.
Although she enjoyed taking advantage of others, she wasn't stupid.
She had enough self-awareness to only bully the small shops and restaurants of people who had no backgrounds.
She wouldn’t dare dine and dash at the bigger more upscale hotels.
Those kinds of places had big backers; people she wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of.

It was this self-awareness that allowed her to run rampant on the island, doing as she pleased for the last two years, without repercussions.

“That’s nothing.
Do you know what happened the last time she went to my noodle shop? She said there weren’t enough side dishes, so she insisted I add more to her order.
In the end, her bowl had more sides than noodles! Who eats noodles like that?! The worse of it is, she left right after finishing.
It’s been over a month and I still haven’t seen a penny.”

The noodle shop owner was also bitter.
It was rare to see a woman so stingy, but Barit took the cake.

“That’s not bad.
You just lost a bit of food.
I came back with a sea beast from a trip two months ago.
I was going to sell it for a bit of a profit.
But that damn woman forced me to sell it to her for half the going rate!

I mean, I didn’t agree at first, but she sat outside my shop and drove all my customers away.
She even had someone harass me.
I ended up selling it to her at a huge discount just so I wouldn’t offend Lord Sabuden.
I lost so much money on the deal!”

The guy became more excited as he talked.
He was so excited that spittle came out of his mouth and hit the guy in front of him.

“Yeah, it’s been hard on everyone.
I hope Lord Sabuden dumps her sister soon.
She won’t be so intolerable once she loses her backer,” said an innkeeper.

“Never mind that right now.
We should enjoy the show.
See how those fellows can’t move? Why is that?” Someone on the side stared curiously at the five men who were now effectively turned into statues.

“Could the girl be a magician?” speculated another who was unfamiliar with magicians and the abilities magicians possessed.

“No! She definitely used sword mastery skills.”

The ever growing number of people guessing Feng Wu’s class didn’t affect Feng Wu at all.
She had her head tilted slightly to the side as she stared at Barit.
What was Feng Wu she thinking?

“You’re real pleased with yourself huh? Trying to scam money out of us using some bits of cloth? You really are a reckless person!” Margaret said triumphantly.

Barit was miserable.
Why was she so unlucky? She picked on these two because she thought they were loners without any abilities or backing.
She was going to just take a bit of coin from them; that was all, but instead, she was losing both money and face!

“Ah, actually this is all just a misunderstanding.
My clothes are barely dirty at all.
I’ll just wash them at home.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
I must have lost my head for a moment.” Typical.
The instant she knew she was outgunned, Barit backed a hasty retreat.

Margaret looked at Barit.
She had not expected the other woman to flip at the drop of a hat.
Such a fast and believable attitude change was impressive! This was talent.
It wasn’t something just anyone could do.

“Alright.
You said it yourself.
Don’t come looking for us later for compensation.” Margaret lazily waved her hand.
She wasn’t interested in giving the woman a hard time over it.

Barit was a great actress.
“Of course, of course.
It was my fault for not paying attention to where I was walking.
How could I ask the two of you for money?!”

“Xiao Wu, let’s go keep shopping.” As long as Barit wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it, Margaret didn’t care.
She took Feng Wu’s hand and walked through the crowd side by side.

“Wait! What about them?” Barit pointed to the frozen men.
It wasn’t like she personally cared what happened to them, but they were men her sister had assigned to her, plus they were useful muscle.
Without them, how was she going to keep bullying other people?

Margaret didn’t know so she looked to Feng Wu.

Feng Wu turned to look at Barit before speaking.
“They will be able to move again in an hour.”

Margaret immediately took Feng Wu away, leaving a disappointed crowd behind.

What was that? You guys didn’t even fight!

All that anticipation and this is all we get?!

We just wanted to see you teach that stinking woman a lesson.
But all you did was take care of her minions!

This woman’s fortune is too good.
There really is no limit to how shameless she can be.
That shamelessness really is like her invincible shield.

It didn’t matter what the crowd thought because Barit survived unscathed.
The crowd of pointing onlookers were getting on her nerves though.
So what if she couldn’t take care of the two masters, she could certainly take care of these small-fry shop owners!

“What are you looking at?! You better be careful with those eyes!”

None of them wanted to be her next target so they quickly dispersed.

The chubby maid asked, “Miss, what about them?” as she looked at the frozen men.
Don’t have her carry them.
With her small frame, there was no way she could carry them.

Oh you are too humble dear maid; your body is not that small.

Barit thought about it for a moment.
“I’m going home first.
You’ll stay here and wait for them to recover.”

So with her mind at ease, Barit left to go home while the five men stood frozen in front of the clothes shop and her maid waited beside them.

The owner of the shop bit his knuckles as he lamented.
Five fierce guys standing in front of his shop and blocking the entryway; this was bad for business.
Who would dare come in to shop?! He wished they would hurry and leave!

His employees were also uncomfortable with it, but they whispered comfortingly to him, saying it would only be an hour.
One hour! Things would be OK!
