Chapter 298: Darkness Girl
Back in the lively comrcial district, lanterns that resembled all sorts of aquatic creatures were hung up in front of the stalls and almost half of all the stalls were decorated. It was a tradition for every dley Sea Day.
Many people gathered at the comrcial district just to admire the lanterns and they were very excited about the upcoming festival.
dley Sea Day was a generous festival. Other than attracting trade and deals from people and providing a chance to the commoners to have a glimpse of all types of items, the festival also ant free food for everyone. Many poorer people would be able to get a satisfying al.
However, amidst the lively and excited atmosphere, several n were shuttling across the crowd nervously. They were Higan’s bodyguards and they had sohow lost her.
The mistake was even more severe than failing to protect Tang Long. Everyone knew what Higan ant to Starstay City—she was their one true queen!
However, because of that, she was able to easily shake off five rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors at once.
“We’ve lost contact with Young Master Long too. His comms are offline.”
“What about the Young Master’s bodyguards?”
“We contacted them, but they say they are waiting for him and daren’t simply make a move. They are unable to contact him as well.”
“Why don’t we go back and wait? Even in Darkness Port, there are only a handful of people who could harm the queen...”
The last bodyguard to speak sighed helplessly. Despite the anxiety, he was not particularly concerned since the queen had shaken them off on her own. She left them mostly because she wanted so personal ti to wander around the district and not because she was in danger or because she wandered off to cause trouble.
So, other than waiting for her return, what else could the bodyguards do?
After leaving her bodyguards in an anxious state, Higan shuttled across the crowd alone. She was not worried about her n at all. With her hands in her pockets, she sauntered around like an absent-minded girl who was curious about almost everything.
She walked past the stall selling the shell ornants but was disappointed when she found out the toy was gone. She walked up to the owner, trying to ask where the toy had gone, but she sohow did not muster enough courage to talk to a stranger. All she did was stand further away as she stared at the stall for a while before leaving.
Where else could she go?
Without Tang Long’s guidance and care, Higan seed to be clueless about everything. Nonetheless, she was not nervous and did not care. She hesitated for a while before she wandered around the comrcial district. She had no destination in mind and did not need one. She would go wherever that caught her attention.
However, should it not be winter already? Should it not be snowing in winter?
Within Higan’s dry and depressing mories, every single day remained the sa for her, but Darkness Port was a whole new place for her to discover.
It was winter. The sky was blue yet the sun was warm. The bright warmth covered the entire deck area, and there was the faint salty sll of the sea in the air.
There were the aquatic products on sale in the market, the fragrance of the food on sale at the store, the little toys on display, the different types of houses and buildings, the people who were arguing, fighting, loving, quarreling, shouting or even showing no expression at all. Everything impacted Higan’s perception with a dash of unusual realism.
The realism felt like it was alive with a vigorous power that shattered the silence and pain in her mories.
Higan curled her lips into a smile.
The windy sea breeze blew, lifting her veil and revealing her absolute beauty. Her stunning radiance caught the attention of a few rugged n further away from her. Since when did Darkness Port have such a stunning beauty? Why had no one noticed her until now?
Do note that in a place like Darkness Port, the beauty of won could not remain a secret forever. Beautiful won were either taken or they themselves were powerful. There was no in-between.
“Hey, pretty girl, why don’t we have a drink?”
‘Make a move whenever a pretty girl appears.’ That was the motto that a lot of n in Darkness Port lived by.
The few n who saw Higan’s face surrounded her.
Higan stopped walking. Devoid of any uncertainty, she sized up the n who surrounded her in a curious gaze through her veil. Were they inviting her?
Back in Starstay City, only a handful of n had the courage to even speak in front of her. Why were the n in Darkness Port so bold?
“What’d you say, pretty lady? I’m a sailor of the Transporter and I have plenty of Black Sea coins. Why don’t we find ourselves so fun?” another man spoke after he saw that Higan did not avoid them.
The n closed up on her, so they were now less than one and a half ters away from her.
Higan frowned slightly as a strong discomfort rose from her heart. Even though she was curious why the n had the courage to talk to her, it did not an she accepted their presence. After all, she was still the cold-blooded queen that she was. She disliked talking to people, even more so when they ca so close to her.
“Are you people talking to ?”
Right after she spoke, the n around her whistled excitedly. The lady did not just look enchanting, but even her voice sounded alluring. Her frigid voice had a tinge of naivety and squeamishness unique only to a girl, and it made the n want to own her.
“Yeah, of course, we’re talking to you. Co on, girl, we’ll buy you the best alcohol and sleep in the best hotel. You are going to have the best night of your life. What’d you say?” One of them could no longer hold back his desire. His face was full of frivolity and an obscene smile.
Disgust rose in Higan’s heart and what followed was coldness as she said, “Not interested. Move.”
After that, she wanted to walk away from the n, but one of them could not bear her attitude anymore and reached out to grab her. “Hey, girl, it’s not up to you to decide. Co with us. You’ll be interested soon enough.
Higan dodged the man’s grasp and stopped once more. Then, she turned around.
The wind lifted her veil up, and under the veil, her smile was like a blossoming flower, but her gaze was icy cold. It was so cold that it could freeze one’s bones at a single glance. Her black pupils under the cold gaze were like a bottomless well, and it felt she had no human emotions.Visit web novel. live If You like manga , comics
“You, did you just try to touch ?” Her smile grew more alluring and beca breathtakingly enchanting.
The n, who claid to be sailors, did not speak at all. Not one of them uttered a word. They were all stunned on the spot and their Adam’s apples were bobbing as if sothing was stuck.
What kind of smile was that? It was so enchanting that she looked like a fairy. Any man would easily fall for her smile and give his life to her in a heartbeat. However, what was with that gaze? It was so cold that it could freeze one’s heart in a single glance, so one could not help but be afraid of her.
Nevertheless, the n’s egos would never allow them to be afraid of a girl. One of them mustered up enough courage and said, “Yeah, we are touching you. So what? You’ll soon learn it’s natural for n to touch you...”
Before he could finish, his expression changed for the worse.
“Hot! Hot! It’s so hot!” the man scread ceaselessly all of a sudden. The other n started to feel hot as well, and all of them hopped around madly. The heat was not sothing that they could endure, so despite everyone watching, they started to undress until not a shred of cloth remained on them.
Soon, a crowd gathered for a show. No one in Darkness Port felt ashad of naked n, so no one was kind enough to put so clothes on them. They gathered just because they wanted to watch a monkey show.
Strangely, a few seconds after the n got naked, they started to feel cold.
They ran around madly and tried to snatch people’s clothes to wear, but their actions and movents sohow slowed down and were twisted in a strange way to the extent that none of them were able to dress.
They then covered their stomachs, screaming crazily that their stomach hurt. What followed was fierce coughing and ceaseless choking as big chunks of flesh and blood were spat out. In the end, their skin started to rot as they scratched their bodies furiously.
The n were tortured by the coughs, pain, and scratching for a full five minutes before they fell to the ground, absent of any signs of life.
“I know him. That’s York. Isn’t he a rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior?” soone in the crowd cried in shock though it was not because of sympathy but because he recognized one of the dead n as a rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior. A Purple Moon Warrior strangely died on the street! It was unbelievable and sowhat scary.
On top of that, the crowd soon distinguished the identities of all the dead n. They were rank 1 Purple Moon Warriors and one of them had reached the limits of rank 1 and could break through to rank 2.
What caused their strange deaths?
No clue was left at the scene, but one of them managed to utter sothing before he died. He coughed furiously and scread his lungs out, “The girl...the girl with a veil!”
However, there were countless girls with veils over their faces in Darkness Port since the city was not a kind and safe place, especially for ladies.
The crowd discussed among themselves in shock as they viewed the deaths of the n as a supernatural incident.
The military police of Darkness Port arrived at the scene after seven to eight minutes to clean up the scene and carry the bodies away, but neither one of them was shocked or surprised. The dead n were sailors, and at the sa ti, the n of the Dark Judgent. If the folks from the Dark Judgent wanted justice served, they would have to pay the military police to investigate their deaths. Otherwise, they would have died for nothing.
No matter how big of a commotion she caused, Higan had already wandered onto a main avenue three streets away from the scene.
The main avenue was filled with restaurants and bars, it was as lively as the entire comrcial district and it was filled with vitality as there were even more people here.
Curious, Higan strolled into the avenue, she loved the liveliness of the street, albeit she could never join them.
The few n were dead, but she had already forgotten about them before they even took their last breath.
“The Dreamy Visitor?” Higan stopped in front of a restaurant located in the center of the avenue.
