The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#133's chat. Kechandeep Lodging. II
The light of the night moon was dim as Chen Khu and Mathanadeva had changed their clothes and were preparing to descend to the first floor.
"You look a little more handsome if you're wearing those clothes" said Mathanadeva, chuckling at Chen Khu dressed as a southern continent resident.
"Handsome..?? I think I look weird, " Chen Khu said as he looked at the clothes he was wearing.
The supply of clothes that Chen Khu had been carrying all this time and stored in his magic bag was indeed exhausted, for that Chen Khu had asked one of the maids to wash his clothes.. instead Chen Khu temporarily wore clothes belonging to Mathanadeva, although it was made from good and the price was quite expensive.but the body of Mathanadeva is almost ten centimeters higher than Chen Khu.. making the tip of the clothes worn by Chen Khu touch the floor.
"Hahaha, we eat first" Mathanadeva said, patting Chen Khu on the shoulder.
The two walked down the stairs and the atmosphere of the restaurant had not changed much even though the night continued to move. There was only one empty table in the corner of the room they could occupy.
Mathanadeva called the waiter when both of them had already occupied the table and the three maids brought their order to eat which was indeed quite a lot.. this certainly caught the attention of some people considering the portion ordered by Mathanadeva is equivalent to a portion for five people.
Chen Khu did not care about the sight of people on them.he immediately grabbed a piece of chicken when the plate had just touched the table.
"Slow down" said Mathanadeva half-whispering.
Chen Khu ignored Mathanadeva's words and continued to put food in his mouth.
"Chen Khu.. slowly eat it. Don't be such a trance... do you not realize that someone is watching us..? " mathanadeva warned.
"I know your majesty, some of them are warriors, while others are just merchants" replied Chen Khu with a mouth full of food..Mathanadeva was silent and tried to act like Chen Khu, but still he felt uncomfortable if anyone noticed him and it made his appetite less.
"Why noble.. What food is not good..? " tanya Chen Khu whispered after spending a glass of water to drink.then grabbed the thigh of the chicken that was on the plate Mathanadeva.
"Chen Khu.. You've already finished four servings of food and are still taking my share as well..? " Mathanadeva glared furiously.
"I just feel sorry for this noble chicken, he sacrificed his life to eat not to be seen, said Chen Khu as if he did not care about the sharp gaze of Mathanadeva.

"Looks like you're new here..? " three people approached Mathanadeva and Chen Khu.. Mathanadeva only went silent not responding to the words of one of the three people, whereas Chen Khu only turned his head slightly with the chicken thigh still bitten and after that resumed his eating.
" Your clothes are good. It seems that you people are. only unfortunately you are deaf.. !!" the man continued his words this time with a slightly raised tone because the two people in front of him seemed to ignore his presence.
"Sorry sir, we are not used to talking during meals" said Mathanadeva after finishing his meal and drinking a glass of water.
"What is your purpose in this village..hah..?? you seem to mean evil to this village" said the man who made Chen Khu and Mathanadeva look at each other.
"So one of my friends saw you bring someone in a condition bound to the government office...is that what is called passing coincidence.. huh..? " the man in front of Mathanadeva spoke in a rebuking tone.
Hearing the tone that was the interlocutor of Mathanadeva was already rising.. Chen Khu stood up and tried to whisper something in the man's ear, but when Chen Khu was about to approach the man.. the two comrades put on a watchful attitude and prepared to pull out the sword but as Chen Khu signaled by raising his palm, the two men delayed to pull out the sword but still showed caution.
"So what you said..!! he is the king of Gurjara, or you will be put to death for your tongue, " whispered Chen Khu then patted the man on the shoulder before sitting down again.
"Omong is empty. what might a ra.. "the man has not finished his words as a sword swung rapidly at his neck to make his head separate from his body.. making both colleagues dumbfounded until the knees of both of them tremble.
"What are you doing Chen Khu..?? " shouted Mathanadeva with bulging eyes.. Mathanadeva himself did not expect that Chen Khu would do so and Chen Khu's overly rapid movements while pulling out the sword could not even be captured by his eyes.
"I warned you, but you ignored it..!! " cold Chen Khu said as he stood up and looked at the body of the man who already had no head.
"Bring your friend's corpse or you will be the same fate as him" said Chen Khu then save his sword.
All eyes were momentarily fixed on Chen Khu who easily killed the big-bodied man before him.. then some people ran out of fear while some people consisting of warriors who were used to seeing murder were just amazed to see the ability shown by Chen Khu whose speed could hardly be captured by eye.
"You will get a reply because you have dared to make trouble with the group of red lotus." said one of the male colleagues earlier while lifting his partner and assisted by another colleague.
"Tell me to your word, it's a punishment for not heeding the warning I've given." replied Chen Khu cynically.
The two men passed while carrying their partners and not long after the two men left the restaurant the waiter who had gotten tip money from Mathanadeva came in a hurry..
"Master you should leave this place immediately.they are members of the red lotus group that is very feared in this area." said the waiter who looks scared.
"It's his own fault for not heeding the warning I gave." Chen Khu replied briefly.
"But sir..!! "
" Come on. continue your work.and please bring us some tea" said Chen Khu cutting off the waiter's conversation and the waiter left Chen Khu and Mathanadevaa.
"You seem to like murder a lot.I was curious.what did you whisper to the man earlier." said Mathanadeva as if infuriated by what Chen Khu had just done.
"A proper punishment for a man who speaks harshly to the king of Gurjara is the death penalty" whispered Chen Khu as he stood and pressed his lips against the ears of Mathanadeva.
"You said that.???. " said Mathanadeva surprised.
"Just calm down.he couldn't possibly divulge it.." Chen Khu replied then poured tea on his cup that the waiter had just read.
