Durin watched the young mistress standing outside the counter—with both ears sharp and black, signifying her great age.
Although in this land, Grassland Elves are called short demons, considering that Orcs are all demons, the tailless monkey spirits are quite egalitarian about it.
When she walked over, Xiaoqi, who was vigorously spitting melon seeds next to Durin, saw her and immediately greeted her with an exceedingly ingratiating smile: "Madam Qi."
Madam Qi smiled and stood there.
Xiaoqi stood up and obediently moved to another table, striking up a conversation with his friends.
Meanwhile, Durin addressed Madam Qi as she sat down: "Madam, I believe in the Chang Tang adage that one does not visit the Temple of the Three Treasures without a reason. You must have something on your mind today."
"You are quite astute," the lady said with a nod and a smile.
