Chapter: Chapter 311
“Xiaoya, you’ve been here before.” Bai Ling said in a deep voice, picking up a strand of hair from the ground.
“…” wrapped in a bath towel larger than herself, Leticia didn’t know what to say.
At a time like this, when they were racing against time, why did she come here to soak in a hot spring with this white-haired woman? They weren’t here for a vacation!
“I say, how did you recognize it?” After a long silence, Leticia finally asked a relatively normal question.
Could Bai Ling be sure that this strand of hair belonged to her sister Xiaoya, just from a single strand of hair?
Bai Ling nodded, “I have an impression of everything about Xiaoya. I won’t mistake it.”
Heh, can I call you a pervert? Leticia mentally gave Bai Ling a big cross. Saying such a thing at this time, even if you are Xiaoya’s own sister, you can’t escape the charge of being a perverted sister-con!
“Then shouldn’t we hurry up and catch up? If we waste any more time here, we might not be able to catch up.” Leticia said. It wasn’t a big deal for Bai Ling to take a bath, but now it was clear that there was no time for such a trivial matter.
Eating and resting were unavoidable, but bathing was not necessary.
Although Leticia was clean, she hadn’t reached the point of dying without a bath every day. In special circumstances, she could go a few days without a bath.
Is this a special circumstance? Does this question need to be answered?
If this isn’t a special circumstance, then there are no special circumstances in the world!
“It’s fine. Taking a bath can relax me, so I can run faster on the road later.” Bai Ling said that work and rest were both important. Rather than rushing on the road all the time, it was better to relax now so that she could run faster on the road later. ≥@!q、群[儿↗巴+*琉{酒、>吴?>!~九<>三,,!@岭#$七
As for Leticia’s opinion?
Please, it was Bai Ling who was rushing, and Leticia was just hitchhiking. Did she have the right to express her opinion?
If Leticia could walk by herself, it wasn’t that Bai Ling looked down on Leticia. Even if Leticia didn’t take a bath and set off directly, she would only need a few minutes to catch up with Leticia after her bath.
Leticia naturally understood this. Even Bai Ling didn’t care about time, so it was useless for her to be anxious. Her own means of transportation needed to refuel.
Untying the bath towel, Leticia jumped into the hot spring. She had already tested the water temperature and it was just right, not too hot.
“Speaking of which, Qianqian, how old are you this year?” Bai Ling also untied her bath towel and entered the hot spring. After entering the hot spring, she seemed to have a sudden whim and asked a fatal question.
As everyone knows, there are two questions that cannot be asked to girls: one is weight, and the other is age.
“How old do you think I am?” Leticia smiled brightly.
Bai Ling touched her chin, thought for a moment, and guessed a number, “Although you look only fifteen or sixteen, your personality is so mature. I think you are around eighteen years old.”
*Pa*, Leticia covered her face with her hand. Eighteen? That was about right.
Her real age was just over a hundred months more than eighteen.
“If you ignore the first half of your sentence, it’s not too far off.” Leticia naturally wouldn’t refuse the chance to act cute. She didn’t want to reveal the tragic fact that she was already approaching thirty. “Am I not developing well?”
Bai Ling was silent for a while before nodding. Leticia’s development couldn’t be said to be bad, it could only be said to be basically non-existent.
Her chest, which was almost not there, was so flat that one might mistake it for a boy’s chest. Other parts were also dry and thin, as if she were malnourished.
However, from Leticia’s conversation and daily behavior, Bai Ling could tell that the girl’s living environment was definitely good. At least she had no worries about food and drink. Girls living in such an environment usually had good development.
“It’s a family trait. Our bloodline dictates that our descendants will have difficulty developing.” Leticia pouted. Should her ancestors or Infino take the blame for this? It was probably the true ancestor.
When she drew talents, she didn’t draw the talent of lifespan, but instead drew the debuff of slow development. It could only be said that her luck was not very good.
After soaking for about ten minutes, Leticia stood up from the pool with a splash. “Have you soaked enough? We should leave.”
Are you that anxious? Bai Ling looked at Leticia with confusion. She felt that she should at least soak for half an hour to relieve her fatigue.
But seeing the girl’s seemingly genuine anxious expression, she couldn’t say that she hadn’t soaked enough.
Since she couldn’t refuse, there was only one choice left, right?
Bai Ling also stood up, “Well, let’s get ready to go. If we’re lucky, we can catch up to my unpromising sister tonight.”
…
*Clang!*
The sword and claws clashed, making a crisp sound. The girl in the golden-red formal dress held a beautiful rapier and was contending with a giant monster.
Around the monster, three creatures of different appearances were attacking it.
One was a black-haired, black-eyed cat-eared girl, one was a strong, white-skinned strongman, and the last was a beautiful girl with a pair of black wings.
The leader of this strange little team was the girl fighting the monster, Princess Bai Ya of the Starfall Empire.
“Wow, why isn’t my sister here yet? Do I really have to go through all the levels alone?” The little girl, who had narrowly dodged the monster’s attack, muttered with a grimace.
Yes, in this dream, Xiaoya still retained her consciousness. She was one of the few clear-headed people in this dream.
Before entering the dream, the white-haired woman had told her many precautions, including the basic information of this dream and what Xiaoya should do after entering.
Of course, Xiaoya’s mission was not difficult. She only needed to follow the plot.
In the dream, her identity was a powerful prince (princess) who was entrusted by the sleeping princess to solve the curse of the empire and defeat the witch who had plunged the entire empire into eternal stagnation.
This was not difficult, and could even be said to be simple, because Xiaoya had achieved it in the script.
Although there was some deliberate weakness on the witch’s part… but that was all in the past. As long as the witch was defeated, this dream would end. This was the information Xiaoya had obtained.
Xiaoya had actually entered the dream a little later than Leticia, but Leticia had been in the endless falling hell for quite some time. When Bai Ling rescued her, Xiaoya had already entered her first leveling instance and taught the bothersome thieves a good lesson.
Then, when Leticia and Bai Ling were rushing at Leticia’s fastest speed, Xiaoya, relying on her super physique in the dream world and a small cheat, had passed through several instances and gathered her protagonist group.
And now, she was fighting the first instance of the mid-to-late game. This giant monster was the witch’s minion, and the mission was to prevent any living beings from entering the depths of the empire.
In the script, this monster had caused a lot of trouble for Xiaoya’s team. In the end, it was the white-skinned strongman who sacrificed himself to lock the monster’s movements, allowing Xiaoya to successfully hit its vital point and kill the monster.
This white-skinned strongman was actually not human. He was a giant humanoid elemental creature, trapped in the empire due to the witch’s magic. In the story, he was moved by Xiaoya’s courage and was willing to sacrifice his life for this valiant princess.
However, here, Xiaoya could defeat this monster without his sacrifice.
“Help me control its movements!” Xiaoya shouted to her companions.
As she spoke, she had already clenched a black pendant on her chest with one hand. This pendant was obtained at the beginning of the story, and the one who gave her the pendant was naturally the sleeping princess of the Empire.
Xiaoya’s teammates immediately rushed towards the monster upon hearing her words, using various means to delay its movements.
Various powerful attacks landed on the monster, and they were actually forced to only defend. But this was not sustainable. Their burst of power could only last for about a minute at most, and one minute was not enough to kill this monster.
Of course, that was before.
The current Xiaoya was very different from the prince in the story, which was that she had the princess’s max affection from the beginning of the story!
The black pendant in her hand was originally a magical item that she would only obtain in the later stages of the story. The effect of this pendant was to allow the princess to cast spells through it.
So, who was playing the role of the sleeping princess of the Empire in this world right now?
Was it Zimo?
No.
The princess was Qila.
And Qila was a genuine master of magic. Even in the dream, her magical attainments were much stronger than the princess in the original story, who could only play support.
For example, she could now cast extremely powerful offensive spells through this pendant.
Its power was even higher than Xiaoya’s full-power attack.
Uh, Xiaoya’s combat power was actually quite poor. Even with the physique bonus of the dream world, her combat power was at most slightly better than that of an ordinary hero.
She had never fought before and had never trained. It was only natural that she couldn’t exert her full potential when she suddenly gained a powerful body.
“Qila, help me!” Xiaoya silently called out Qila’s name and aimed the pendant at the monster.
The next moment, a helpless voice sounded in Xiaoya’s ear, “Really, how many times a day do you ask me for help?”
Qila’s initial equipment given to Xiaoya had no usage limit, so Xiaoya almost grabbed the pendant and shouted for Qila to save her whenever she encountered a problem.
This even gave Qila, whose body was still sleeping in the imperial capital, the illusion that she was the one who was actually brushing the imperial instances.
Could this little girl who shouted for help whenever she encountered a problem really defeat that terrifying witch?
Muttering in her heart, Qila still sent power through the connection with the pendant.
She could see Xiaoya’s situation, so it was impossible for her to aim incorrectly.
“Tch!” A short syllable sounded in Xiaoya’s ear.
A silver light, which seemed to make the sun itself retract its rays, flashed by. How could the giant monster dodge this attack? Its huge body stiffened, and then the upper half of the black monster slowly fell off.
Instant kill.
It was like a cheat.
If the prince in the story had such a princess providing remote assistance from the beginning, where would there be a need for so many friends to sacrifice themselves?
“Thanks, Qila.” Xiaoya said softly, and then shouted to her teammates, who were already used to such things, “Let’s continue. We need to rescue the princess as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing Xiaoya’s words, the faces of the three teammates showed strange expressions. To be honest, they really felt that Xiaoya’s position in the team was actually a Qila launcher.
As soon as they encountered a tough fight, they would directly request external support, and then the tough fight would no longer be tough, and it would end immediately.
It was like playing house.
…
“Those people are going deeper and deeper… Even Black Stone failed?” In a silent city, a girl surrounded by dreamlike fantasy light dispersed the light ball in her hand and muttered in a low voice, “They are so fast, it’s really curious.”
She had turned this place into a cursed land. Who would dare to step into it?
“Senior, do you need me to go and kill all those intruders?” The white-haired girl beside her, seeing the girl’s troubled expression, immediately volunteered to help her senior solve the problem.
Did she send her junior directly? The girl pondered for a moment and shook her head.
“No, I’ll go personally. You watch that palace. The monarch has never stopped fighting against the curse.”
The girl’s decision made the girl’s eyes widen. Is it too cautious to go personally?
“Senior, I can deal with those intruders. I am a witch!” The girl said somewhat anxiously. She had been tricked by the empress of this country once, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t defeat others!
The girl smiled and shook her head, “I believe in your strength, but my heart tells me that I must go there.”
With that, the girl waved her hand gently, and a cluster of colorful mist appeared around her, swallowing her whole. When the colorful mist dissipated, the girl had disappeared.
As soon as the girl left, the white-haired girl’s expression changed immediately. She pouted disdainfully and muttered in a low voice, “Tch, just a unlucky person favored by the master. What are you showing off for? I am clearly the person the master trusts the most.”
Then, she looked at the magnificent palace with a hateful gaze, “Just you wait, mortal empress, you will definitely pay the price.”
