Chapter: Chapter 308
Guess? Guess what the hell, is there any part of you that I haven’t seen? Leticia took a deep breath and showed a very fake smile, “I believe a beautiful young lady like you wouldn’t do something like deceiving people, would she?”
This remark made Bai Ling chuckle again. When it came to beauty, the girl beside her was not much inferior to herself, and this girl had just reported a fake name without hesitation.
“In any case, I also plan to go to that cursed kingdom. I wonder if I have the honor to become companions with Miss Qianqian?”
“I don’t think I have the right to refuse,” Leticia snorted and started walking forward. “Since you want to follow, then follow. I’m just a young girl with no strength to hold a chicken. I can’t compare to a wandering knight like you.”
Leticia deliberately emphasized the four words “wandering knight,” clearly indicating that she was questioning the identity Bai Ling had just revealed.
Of course, Bai Ling did not react to Leticia’s questioning, as this identity was just something she had made up casually.
Walking side by side on the deserted avenue, Leticia casually asked a question, “Miss Bai, why are you going to that place?”
“Me? Just to bring back a disobedient relative,” Bai Ling replied with a normal expression, then she threw the question back to Leticia, “And you? That place is not suitable for ordinary people like you.”
The vicinity of the Sleeping Empire was crowded with desperate fugitives. A pretty little vase like Leticia would probably not survive a single day if she went there.
Moreover, Bai Ling couldn’t understand the scene of Leticia’s appearance. In her eyes, Leticia had fallen from the sky. If she hadn’t intervened in time, Leticia’s ending would probably have been to be smashed into Leticia-chan.
Yes, from Bai Ling’s perspective, the mountain where Leticia had been before did not exist. In fact, Leticia couldn’t find that mountain after being rescued by Bai Ling.
It felt like that mountain was a spawn point. After Leticia jumped down, the spawn point’s function was gone, and it naturally disappeared.
It was strange, but this was a dream, so all the strangeness was not so strange.
“I’m going to find something.” Leticia didn’t hide her purpose either. She wanted to find something, although she didn’t know what she was looking for. “Then, I will shatter this false world.”
“That sentence fits your appearance very well,” Bai Ling chuckled. She didn’t take Leticia’s second half of the sentence seriously. Shattering this false world was something so embarrassing that only boys and girls of this age would say it.
It was like her own sister, thinking about encountering fairytale things all day long, like saving a kingdom or defeating a dragon to marry a princess.
Logically speaking, it wouldn’t be difficult for her sister to marry a princess given her status. The only problem was that her sister was a girl.
“Alas, my sister is also your age. You are quite alike,” thinking of her troublesome sister, Bai Ling sighed and held her forehead.
Leticia’s face fell. Alike? How could she be alike to that dead girl Xiao Ya?
She was so mature and reliable, while that girl Xiao Ya was much less reliable than her.
“I’m not joking, I’m serious,” Leticia waved her hand and explained earnestly, “Your sister might have chuunibyou, but I don’t.”
“Ah, yes, yes, yes,” Bai Ling looked at Leticia with a doting gaze. For some reason, she had a desire to indulge this girl.
Guided by this thought, whatever Leticia said, she would just respond with “Ah, yes, yes, yes.”
But this reaction didn’t satisfy Leticia. She glared fiercely at Bai Ling, “Tch, just a white-haired girl.”
Ending this discussion that had no result, Leticia’s gaze shifted to the sword at Bai Ling’s waist.
This sword looked very beautiful, but it was completely different from the sword Bai Ling used in Leticia’s impression. Bai Ling’s real sword was even more beautiful than the one she was currently using. This golden long sword looked like something a nouveau riche would use, not beautiful at all.
“Oh? You want to see my sword?” Bai Ling noticed Leticia’s gaze. She thought Leticia wanted to see her sword, and she naturally wouldn’t refuse such a small request.
Even if Leticia immediately turned around and attacked her with the sword after taking it, Bai Ling wouldn’t be afraid. She was a super powerful swordswoman and couldn’t be harmed by an ordinary person like Leticia.
Thinking this, Bai Ling untied the sword and handed it to Leticia before Leticia could refuse. She even thoughtfully told Leticia, “Be careful, this sword is a bit heavy.”
Taking the long sword, Leticia indeed felt her hands sink. This sword was completely incomparable to the Star Sword she had used before. The Star Sword felt great in her hand, and its weight was just right, not too heavy, nor too light. Although the sword had been resisting when Leticia used it, this resistance actually made Leticia happier.
A sword with intelligence was much better than an inanimate object without intelligence.
Gently stroking the golden sword in her hand, Leticia shook her head, “This sword is not good, it’s not suitable for you.”
As if her words had triggered some change, a brilliant light suddenly fell from the sky. The light shone on the sword in Leticia’s hand, and the golden sword gradually transformed under the light.
Before long, a sword that Leticia was extremely familiar with replaced the golden sword.
“Old friend,” Leticia drew the familiar Star Sword from its sheath and smiled. “This sword is more suitable for you.”
Seeing this miraculous transformation of the sword, Bai Ling also blinked in astonishment. Her sword had changed its appearance in such a short time, and this sword looked much more advanced than the one she had used before!
“Can I see it?” Feeling the joy emanating from the sword, Bai Ling quickly said. She had a feeling that this sword was the most suitable sword for her!
“Of course, this is your sword originally,” Leticia smiled and handed the sword to Bai Ling. How could the Star River Sword Saint not use a Star Sword?
Taking the sword handed by Leticia, a sharp light flashed in Bai Ling’s eyes. She could feel it, she could feel a terrifying power awakening from within her. Holding this sword, she could probably split a mountain with a single swing!
Taking a deep breath, Bai Ling raised her sword and lightly swung it towards an open space not far away.
A white light flashed, and a deep sword mark appeared on the still quite solid road. This power was truly terrifying.
Even Bai Ling herself was startled. Did she not know her own strength? Before, she could only achieve this by exerting all her effort, but now, she hadn’t even used any force, just a gentle swing of the sword in her hand!
For this kind of boost, Bai Ling glanced deeply at Leticia. This girl was definitely not as ordinary as she appeared.
After getting her sword back, in such a short time, she turned her sword into such a divine weapon. How could such a girl be an ordinary person?
“May I ask how you did it?” Bai Ling asked in a low voice after sheathed her sword.
Leticia put her hands behind her back and showed a harmless smile, “I don’t know.”
This time, she wasn’t lying. She really didn’t know why the golden sword turned into the Star Sword that Bai Ling had used before when it fell into her hands. Perhaps it was due to her perception?
However, it didn’t matter. The increase in Bai Ling’s combat power was a good thing for both of them.
Of course, it was only unimportant for Leticia. For Bai Ling, this was definitely something worth paying attention to.
But if Leticia didn’t want to say, she couldn’t do anything about it. She couldn’t just have her subordinates arrest and interrogate Leticia, right?
Although Bai Ling would usually do that, today, facing Leticia, she felt that she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Walking on the lifeless avenue until dusk, Leticia felt like her legs were no longer her own. Why hadn’t they arrived at that place yet!
“I can’t, I can’t. I need to rest for a while.” Looking at Miss Bai who was still looking energetic, Leticia had to speak to Miss Bai.
Otherwise, she would fall behind later.
“Walking for a whole day, it’s about your limit,” Bai Ling stopped. She had been waiting for Leticia to speak.
And Leticia’s performance also impressed her. She originally thought Leticia would not be able to hold on an hour ago, which was already the limit for an ordinary girl.
But Leticia managed to hold on for another hour, only speaking now, and from the looks of it, Leticia had not reached her limit yet.
“Almost, I have to save some energy in case of necessity. Speaking of which, how much longer do we have to go?” Leticia crouched down and gently kneaded her sore calf.
Her clothes were suitable for movement. Although it was a dress, it was not the type that would hinder movement. Of course, it couldn’t compare to the sportswear worn by Bai Ling.
“At this speed, it will still take three more days to arrive,” Bai Ling calmly revealed a number that made Leticia’s mentality explode.
Three days?!
Her legs were almost broken after walking for one day. If she walked for three more days, she would really spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair!
Of course, this was a dream. Even if her legs were broken, it wouldn’t affect reality. The key was time. She didn’t know how long three days here corresponded to in reality. Leticia could only try to end this dream as quickly as possible.
“Hoo, well, if you travel alone at full speed, how long will it take?” Leticia asked.
The reason why the two of them were walking so slowly was entirely due to her. If it weren’t for waiting for her, Bai Ling should have already left her far behind.
As expected, Bai Ling’s answer formed a stark contrast with the previous three days: “It only takes a few hours to reach the outer camp.”
Well, it seemed she was indeed dragging them down significantly.
“Ahem, well, Miss Bai, can we negotiate?” Leticia rubbed her hands and said somewhat sheepishly.
To reach that place in the shortest possible time, she could only ask Bai Ling to take her there, right?
With Bai Ling’s ability, even carrying one person, she could reach that place in a short time. After all, Leticia was very light, really light.
Because she was not only short but also thin, and even flat. With these three characteristics combined, it would be a ghost if she were heavy.
Seeing Leticia’s expression, Bai Ling understood what Leticia meant after a moment of thought, and a smile appeared on her face, “Of course, but this is not free.”
“Say it, what’s your condition?” Leticia gritted her teeth. Anyway, it was in a dream, so it didn’t matter what request Bai Ling made.
Given this person’s personality, she probably wouldn’t make any strange requests.
Probably?
Bai Ling rested her chin on her hand, her expression a little tangled. However, she quickly thought of what to request: “After you finish your business, come home with me.”
Leticia fell silent. She never expected Bai Ling to make such a request. But after much thought, she found that there was no problem with her agreeing. The reason was very simple: after she finished her business, this world would undoubtedly disappear. If this world disappeared, then the promise she made would not have to be fulfilled.
As for whether Bai Ling would remember this matter after waking up? There was no need to worry about it at all. Even if Bai Ling remembered, would she have the cheek to bring it up?
Leticia entered this dream world to save her. She couldn’t let Leticia lose both the wife and the soldiers, right? That would make Leticia heartbroken.
“Okay, I promise you,” Leticia nodded.
Bai Ling was somewhat puzzled by such a straightforward agreement. In her opinion, facing such a request, Leticia should have hesitated a bit. Agreeing so easily always gave her a strange feeling.
For example, Bai Ling was now suspecting if Leticia planned to renege on her promise later.
Although this request was just a whim, and she might not even let Leticia fulfill her promise after the event, it was different for Bai Ling to not let Leticia fulfill it herself and for Leticia to break her promise.
Bai Ling didn’t like it when someone broke their agreement with her.
“I think you agreed too easily,” Bai Ling expressed her thoughts, “Will you really keep your promise?”
Regarding Bai Ling’s suspicion, Leticia didn’t explain much. Explaining now was useless. “I can only say that you can trust me. When everything is over, you will also get the answer you want.”
As for whether she would keep her promise?
Ah, her answer didn’t seem to mention that at all.
“Is that so?” Bai Ling lowered her eyelids. This answer seemed to imply something.
