Murim's Weakest Princess

Chapter 140: Mirror Press

Chapter 140: Mirror PressAfter

Receiving Anji’s permission, Aunt Wine went to look at the simple tub with ash and stones that turned continuously and washed the dirty clothes. The circuit was written without any flaw, and the energy use was very efficient because of the timer. On top of that, it was very safe to use. If Anji were to submit this invention, she would automatically be promoted from an apprentice to a librarian. Yet, it did not seem to occur to Anji how amazing her inventions were. From how she spoke of it, the young child seemed to have done this before.

Looking at the heap of wet clothing, Aunt Wine gave Anji a helping hand and tied a new hanging line that Anji could easily reach with a chair. It might not be much help because the clothes would mostly drag on the ground, but she had a feeling the smart girl would find a way to use it better.

After Anji finished her meal, Aunt Wine tidied the dishes, but Anji stopped her, telling her she would do them.

Allowing the small girl to take the heap of dirty dishes to the backyard, the head cook watched as Anji quickly drew a new talisman and stuck it on a small basin that automatically filled with warm water.

"Is this a smaller version of that washing tub?" Aunt Wine asked curiously.

Nodding, Anji grinned. "It doesn’t have stone because that would scratch and break the dishes. However, it has the same heated water function. Hot water helps to remove stubborn stains quickly."

Agreeing, Aunt Wine nodded, fully impressed at Anji’s mastery over arrays and spells. She did her best to memorise Anji’s spell design and asked if she could introduce this new spell to her kitchen. Anji agreed in a heartbeat, and Aunt Wine rejoiced. There was nothing more that a cook hated than washing dishes. Although it did not automatically clean a dish the same way the clothes were cleaned, it was an improvement already. She could not believe nobody else thought about it before.

After drying the dishes, Anji returned them to Aunt Wine, who packed them.

"Don’t make me come find you for dinner later," she warned. "If there is too much to do, you don’t need to finish everything. It was an unreasonable request in the first place."

Laughing, Anji nodded and agreed silently. The assistants who left her here must have thought she was a pushover. However, Anji was not a doormat.

Thanking Aunt Wine and escorting her to the main door, Anji waved goodbye to the lovely woman and smiled. Then, she closed the green door behind her and faced the messy courtyard once more.

Bracing herself for a tough afternoon, Anji walked to the backyard and was pleasantly surprised by a clothesline she could reach. Smiling, she silently thanked Aunt Wine for her help and looked over to the bronze mirror. Time to change her plans a little.
