Chapter 1013: Chapter 34: Enchanting Mists and the Clarity of Water’s Reflection (Part 1)_3
Qin Ming stood up and led another person onto the ring. The black-clad artist looked ashad, “They all say I’m the strongest in the world…but little girl, we all know you are truly the number one in the world.”
“Really?” The girl looked stunned, “I’m the strongest in the world?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Qin Ming nodded.
“Indeed?” Yan Qi chid in.
Everyone laughed loudly, offering blessings to the birth of the strongest. The world’s strongest girl opened her arms to embrace everything in this world amidst the laughter…this sentence was secretly added in Gongsun Ce’s mind. The illusion hadn’t played for more than a few seconds when a flying knife of air shattered the mist, leaving Qin Qianbai standing at the back, her face red as she said, “Ridiculous!”
“Miss, could you please sit down first? The murderous aura behind is so heavy, I’m scared.”
Qin Qianbai sat down sulkily, angrily saying, “The illusion is outrageous enough, how could everyone see it. It’s preposterous!”
Qiluo timidly said, “I haven’t finished yet, that… the so-called Charming Mist isn’t actually an illusion, but a phenonon where the mist materializes. So everyone can see it, after all, it’s just mist.”
Shiyu Ling, who had been holding back for a long ti, burst into laughter at this mont: “Ahahaha! Very ambitious, little girl, with this vigor, how could you not reach number one in the world?”
Qin Qianbai, angry, covered her face: “Ah Ce, blow away the mist!”
“Alright, alright~”
Gongsun Ce used telekinesis to disperse the surrounding mist and comforted, “Think of sothing good, Miss, yours is quite sound, if my Charming Mist were projected, wouldn’t it be even more awkward?”
“I don’t want to know what Ah Ce usually fantasizes about.” Qin Qianbai puffed up her cheeks and Qiluo couldn’t help but poke them.
“She’s angry~” “She’s angry indeed~”
The Sky Clear trudged along in awkward silence for half an hour, until tall and thin shadows reappeared in the mist. As they approached, they realized that the shadows were actually extrely thick silver pillars, with massive black shadows cast from the tops of these pillars, forming grape-like patterns on the ground.
The signpost by the road was slanted in the mist, Gongsun Ce had to put in so effort to make out the words on it: Welco to Novi Town.
“The environnt in Charming Mist State is quite challenging for people, constantly seeing illusions makes it difficult to even carry out production work.” Gongsun Ce scratched his chin, “So these things are actually… weight-supporting pillars doubling as elevators?”
“As you imagined.” The Dawn Knight drove the vehicle to the base of a pillar, a wide sliding door opened automatically, and the “Garage Entrance” sign above glittered in the room.
“The city here is built above the Charming Mist.”
·
The garage elevator moved up rapidly, with the damp black wind blowing fiercely, unfriendly to the passengers in the convertible. The top-floor garage was still an ‘underground’ structure, illuminated by blue lights. The guide, Dongmu Arat, a black man in his thirties, looked apologetic when speaking to them.
“I’m sorry, tourists. So many people say this elevator needs an upgrade, but the town governnt always claims there’s no money for repairs.”
Qiluo’s hair had just been blown upright, like two large pink scallions. While speaking, she didn’t forget to tidy her hair: “It’s okay! May I ask if there are any tourist spots in this town?”
“Um…” Dongmu hesitated for a few seconds, showing the sa apologetic smile as before, “Doesn’t seem like there is.”
Dongmu told them that this is a remote town, still so distance from the most remote part of the United States, but very close to the term ‘ordinary’. There are only two trains a week to the capital of Charming Mist State from here, and they just missed today’s train. As he guided them to the exit, the man didn’t forget to hand over an iron tag, reminding everyone they could park in the underground garage for free.
“This car is really beautiful.” Before leaving, the man praised, “What brand is it?” Gongsun Ce told him it was a modified car gifted by a friend.
Everyone left the garage without any expectations, greeted by glaring sunlight and fresh air. The sky was so blue it seed as if the supre god had knocked over a bucket of blue paint while painting. The low houses in the town were neatly spread out along the four-lane road, and the tiles shimred in the light. The garage exit was right on the town’s edge, a quick glance back could see the land shrouded in blue mist, leading one to wonder how many strange or interesting illusions were buried in it.
“Not bad.” Gongsun Ce said, “I feel much better.”
Qiluo found them a comfortable hotel, and after Alandia completed the check-in process, she began assigning tasks.
“Charming Mist State is the territory of both the Church and the Mithril Pillars, so we can operate separately if needed. Given Ce’s current condition is not ideal…”
“I’m perfectly fine.” Gongsun Ce protested.
“Gongsun Ce, you were just spinning around in the lobby again.” Qiluo sighed, “Alandia, you take the role of acting captain for now, none of us have any objections.”
“Then I, Miss Qiluo, and Ce will stay in town to gather information, while Miss Shiyu and Miss Qin will go investigate the geographical principles of this state.”
“ and Shiyu Ling?” Qin Qianbai was surprised.
“I know you two don’t get along well, but…”
“How could that be~” Shiyu Ling smiled falsely, reaching out to put an arm around the young lady’s shoulder, “We have a great relationship, right?”
“Miss Shiyu and I are like family.” Qin Qianbai said.
