Chapter 255: What’s Left for You to Eat
"It’s not that I don’t want to keep you with me, but it’s not appropriate to stay in my house any longer."
"That place has already been exposed. If we continue to be watched by assassins, I won’t feel at ease either."
"But I have talked to the people from the Dragon Sakura Club, so you can rest assured."
Chao Lu, on Yingzhou’s side, still couldn’t show her true identity.
There is an official bounty on her, and spies from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are also searching for her.
Yagyū’s house is not a safe place either, so they have to find a suitable safe house for her.
Just consider it as owing a debt, and Xue Hanlei promised to take care of this matter. She said she would arrange for a moving company to help her with the relocation under the guise of cover.
Bai Wei stood in front of the car and said, "Then I won’t send you far. I’ll wait until the day you leave Yingzhou before bidding farewell."
"Thank you…" Chao Lu never expected the efficiency of the other party’s work. In just half a day, the situation progressed smoothly.
All she could say was a feeble thank you.
"You’re welcome." Bai Wei nodded.
"Young Master Bai, I left a letter. Although I don’t know who the friend you mentioned is, if there is a chance in the future, please deliver this letter to them."
"Alright."
Bai Wei agreed and watched as the moving company’s vehicles drove away.
Chao Lu and the panda left, leaving him alone to gaze at the vast lawn, feeling a bit lonely.
Why am I not from Sichuan, where pandas come from?
For the first time, Bai Wei felt rebellious towards his ancestral hometown.
Back in the house, a letter was placed on the table. The letter was not mysterious and couldn’t be delivered to Europa through the ocean of the spiritual world.
After thinking for a moment, he still opened the letter to see what Chao Lu had left for her ‘friend’.
After reading it once, she did not sign her name, so the letter could be for anyone. It was a letter of confession.
It claimed to be a letter for a friend, but it described the experiences and changing emotions in detail, as well as the confusion and expectations for the future, and the determination to return home.
"It’s like a farewell letter."
"Or maybe she is writing it as a farewell letter."
"It’s not the right time for Michelle to see this."
Bai Wei put away the letter. There was something else in the envelope. She opened it and saw that it was a strand of green hair that Chao Lu had cut as a token.
"This might pass through the security check of the ocean in the spiritual world."
…
Dundun and Chao Lu were placed together in a box and sent like late Christmas gifts stuffed in packages.
This wait lasted an entire afternoon, a total of six hours.
When Dundun, unable to resist his drowsiness, fell into a deep sleep, the box was opened, and a gust of cool wind blew in, followed by the light.
"We’ve arrived," the delivery person politely said. "Please come out, you must be tired."
Chao Lu walked out of the wooden box and the staff handed her a checklist. "Please sign here."
"What’s this?"
"It’s a receipt. If you’re satisfied, please leave a positive review." The staff confidently said, "Dragon Logistics, we can deliver anything."
Chao Lu signed her name and left a positive review. Then, a group of ten people put on their hats and left the scene in an orderly manner.
She noticed that she was in a warehouse. She pushed open the door, walked through the corridor, and suddenly, light flooded in.
Chao Lu was taken aback. The scene here was very familiar. "Dragon Sakura?"
"It’s another ‘Dragon Sakura’," a voice answered her question. "The exterior design is exactly the same as before. The building here adopts an overlapping architectural style, with reference to the maze design of the Labyrinth of Minos in Greek mythology. It was designed by a local designer named Yingzhou Gong. Xiaogao has a knack for the recursive structure of overlapping mazes. When customers come in, they see only two levels of Dragon Sakura, but hidden between the height difference of these two levels is the third level of Dragon Sakura."
A graceful figure sat in front of the bar, wearing a gorgeous backless gown, holding a cup and tilting her head to drink a sip of Snow’s Kiss.
"Only those who are invited can come here… Welcome, Princess Chao Lu."
Chao Lu looked at the figure, still with a mocking caution, and asked, "Are you the owner of Dragon Sakura?"
"Yes," the figure glanced sideways and smiled. "Don’t I look like one?"
"I thought the owner of Dragon Sakura was a dragon."
"I am a dragon," the owner replied, but there was no trace of dragon characteristics in her entire body. Her eyes weren’t dragon-like, she didn’t have horns on her head, and even her chest wasn’t like those peaceful princesses of the dragons.
Dragons are not mammals, so there’s no need for these body parts to develop too well. They’re pretty much useless.
Even in a humanoid form, dragons would proudly display their racial features. The antlers on their heads and the dragon scales around their throats are the unmistakable signs of the little dragon girls, and they live boldly and ostentatiously.
Chao Lu didn’t answer immediately but observed for a while. She had seen dragons before, not many but not few either.
Most of the dragons from all over the world have developed a business-minded mindset, and their business style is often straightforward and domineering.
This owner didn’t exude the pride and shrewdness that dragons usually have. Instead, she was filled with a lazy and carefree aura, more resembling a fluffy fox spirit than a dragon.
"It’s impolite to think that way," the owner turned sideways, crossing her legs. "Although being a fox spirit is not bad either, I am indeed a dragon."
"Ahem…" Chao Lu awkwardly skipped the topic. "Thank you for your help."
"Fair trade, that’s all," the landlady said with waning enthusiasm. "It’s not like I’m doing it to help you."
Chao Lu bit her lip. "I don’t know what Mr. Bai has given up, but if necessary, I can repay a portion…"
"Still, you’re a girl with a conscience. But I’m afraid you can’t repay this favor." The landlady crossed her arms. "He offered himself as payment, so what about you?"
Chao Lu hesitated. "It’s… too much of a sacrifice."
"That’s why I’m curious. Why would such an arrogant person bow his head to you and not to other women?" The landlady rested her chin on her hand. "You don’t seem to have anything special about you, except for being clean."
Princess Chao Lu fell silent, not understanding why the other person saw her in such a high regard.
The landlady lit a mint-scented cigarette, and a waiter immediately brought a flame. She took a deep drag and exhaled a puff of white smoke in Chao Lu’s direction. Within the misty haze, Chao Lu seemed to see a pair of amber eyes opening, as if a dragon coiled in the sea, spewing out dense fog with elegance and majesty.
"There are rooms here for you to use freely. Meals will be provided three times a day. If you have any dietary preferences, remember to inform the waiters in advance. I can guarantee your safety, but not your freedom."
"Although you can’t leave here, you can watch TV, read newspapers and books, enjoy various forms of entertainment. Even the trial version of Hell’s game console is available here. Other than that, you can ask the waiters for anything you want. As long as your daily expenses are less than 100,000 yen, it can be arranged."
The landlady began to set the rules.
Chao Lu asked, "How long do I have to wait?"
"You have to wait here for seven days. After seven days, I will arrange for a merchant ship heading to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to briefly dock at a port in Tokyo Bay. You can board at that time. As for what you want to do and where you want to go after returning to your country, I won’t interfere."
Chao Lu asked again, "Can I meet Young Master Bai?"
The landlady raised an eyebrow, got up, and left behind a remark that brooked no argument.
"After I’m done with him, you can line up at the end."
Chao Lu silently gritted her teeth and pursed her lips.
Her eyes showed a hint of grievance.
…
"Hooray, the demon girl is gone!"
"Brother, you did well~"
"We’ll have a feast tonight~ Oh, and Jingūji will come later."
Yagyū Simozi inadvertently revealed that she had invited her best friend to deal with the demon girl.
Bai Wei could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, he was efficient, and Xue Hanlei was also efficient in carrying out the task. They didn’t waste any time.
Otherwise, dinner tonight might turn into a beheading meal.
Saki Jingūji quickly arrived at Yagyū’s residence. She was in a good mood and didn’t cause any trouble for her best friend. However, Jingūji couldn’t keep still, causing Bai Wei to change seats continuously, making him mentally exhausted throughout the meal.
When it was 9:30 in the evening, Bai Wei lay down on the bed on time to rest. He closed his eyes, ready to sink into the ocean of the spiritual world, when suddenly he heard a strange noise.
"Hmm?"
He opened his eyes and looked outside, but there was no sound, so he lay back down.
After he logged into his overseas gaming account using VPN, there was another loud commotion in the room.
The White Snake God and the Pink-furred Fox were fighting again.
