Snakes & Ladders

Who was this?

Old Fru's lips twitched whenever he thought of how many times he explained his current appearance to those who couldn't recognize him. And the worst part was that at the rate he was going, he did expect to breathe through to the 12th Dan of the True Qi realm in another month or so.

Then when that happened and he got younger again, wouldn't he start explaining things all over the same way he was doing now?

Sigh... If only he had successfully ranked up all those years back.

Then, he would've maintained his appearance and avoided all this useless Mombo Jombo stuff.

Alas... even the Village head, Yangku, couldn't remember him.

'Eh-erm!' He coughed: "Village Chief Yangku. It's me... It's Old Fru!"

"What?... Old Fru, is that really you?"

The gang of men looked at Old Fru in disbelief.

Besides Miroku, the Village head's son, all the other men had seen Old Fru years back. Whether briefly or up close.
