Chapter 449: Beach, Lying Down, Jealousy.jpg

They searched for an inn in Yanwei City.

They didn’t stay at an old and familiar place, nor did they choose a shop that had changed owners. In the end, they settled on a slightly expensive inn, its decoration reminiscent of the 1980s, but the environment could only be described as terrible.

Bai Wei asked for a triple room, but since his body was a puppet and he only needed rest, he wouldn’t be there for sure.

They paid with dragon coins, which they had exchanged beforehand in the South Sea Dragon Palace. They currently had no worries about money and basic necessities, but they definitely couldn’t afford to be extravagant.

After a day of jostling, snake girl arrived at the inn and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep.

Chao Lu checked and said, "She’s really asleep… I’ll give her a signal to wake up when it’s daytime."

Bai Wei said, "I’ll keep watch."

"Is it necessary?" Chao Lu asked. "We’re inside the city, so it should be relatively safe."

"What you say doesn’t matter," Bai Wei said. "You’re Princess Bai Ze, and many conspirators are watching you. That Xiangliu guy earlier… whatever his name is, he killed over a hundred light cavalry troops. I even let one person go back. With the people we killed today, they will quickly come to Liu State to find you. This news is bound to spread and spread fast."

Chao Lu asked, "What’s the benefit of it spreading?"

Bai Wei said, "The problem is, they don’t know where we’re going. We can enter Liu State or delay and hide, or find an opportunity to return to Bai Ze Kingdom. They will definitely think this way. So, while these guys are searching everywhere, we can take a step ahead, cross Liu State, and reach the imperial court to buy some time. There will definitely be some unfortunate guys causing trouble with Xiangliu’s light cavalry."

Chao Lu blinked and agreed, "The word ‘trouble’ is used very well."

"Vulgar language. A lady shouldn’t talk like that."

"But I’m not an ordinary lady, I’m a fairy princess," Princess Bai Ze said seriously.

"Indeed," Bai Wei sat still, "Luckily you are a fairy …"

If you were an ordinary girl, you would definitely be like Liu Xiaowan. I would have to marry you no matter what.

Chao Lu, as a woman, had a very keen sixth sense and noticed that Bai Wei’s eyes were not quite right. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Wei tried to fool her, "I am using a puppet body, with standard dead fish eyes. How else do you expect me to look at you? Should I stick on some big cartoon eyes?"

After some thought, Chao Lu continued to ask, "Did you have something else to say just now?"

Bai Wei nodded. He sighed and took it seriously. He raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and his magical spell took shape, creating a silence barrier.

Chao Lu thought she already understood Young Master Bai’s abilities very well, but seeing that he even knew magic, she couldn’t help but speak a few words in her hometown dialect.

"You know magic … transcendent beings, magic, martial arts. You are no longer just a warrior-mage …"

"Lying drunk on the battlefield, don’t laugh at me, for throughout history many warriors have not returned … My nickname is Jun Mo Xiao, I am a lone fighter, oh no, a lone person."

Bai Wei pretended to be something he wasn’t.

This joke probably couldn’t be understood by anyone in the world. Chao Lu showed a confused expression but didn’t ask any questions.

"Although Xiangliu’s light cavalry and some foolish soldiers may be delayed, smart people won’t be."

"The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is complicated, and various people guide the chess from behind the scenes, using people as pawns to plan for the country."

"Bai Ze Kingdom probably hasn’t been infiltrated too much, or maybe there are multiple forces at play. But as the chess game reaches its conclusion, no one will let you go. You will become the decisive piece, whoever can control you can change the situation according to their own wishes."

"Now, you have a chance to turn things around. The ultimate goal is the imperial court."

Bai Wei said, "You understand my analysis, so… the person playing chess from behind the scenes naturally sees it as well."

He opened the map and tapped on several cities in Liu State with his finger.

"Although taking a straight line is the fastest, it is also the most dangerous. Along the way, we will definitely encounter a lot of pursuit and blockage. Once our identities are discovered, we will be like fugitives in the spotlight, it won’t be so easy to leave after stepping onto the stage."

Chao Lu nodded her head. She took a sip of water, which she brought with her. She didn’t dare to touch the water in the inn.

"So we have to go around?"

"At this stage, we can only go around," Bai Wei pressed his finger on the next city. "The next step is to go directly to Longyao City by waterway. Then I need to find someone in Longyao City who can help us. We’ll stay there for three days and then figure out a way to leave."

Chao Lu fully agreed. She also had no idea what to do. Seeing Bai Wei’s thoughts and emotions, she was already prepared to shout "666" (a gaming term).

Right now, she was like the ADC (Attack Damage Carry) in the bottom lane, diligently farming minions and waiting for the support to feed her resources, then saving up money to buy equipment.

As for setting the pace and seizing opportunities, that wasn’t her concern. She just needed to obediently avoid taking risks or giving away kills.

And as for whether she would be able to take over the game later on… that didn’t matter. As long as the jungle (player) kept getting kills everywhere, even if she was bad, they could still win easily.

Of course, if you were to say that Chao Lu wasn’t thinking about anything, that would be impossible. But she knew very well that all she could do now was to relax and not think about anything or doubt anything, and to wholeheartedly believe in him.

If being a decorative vase could save the Bai Ze Kingdom, she would rather be a vase her whole life. If marrying royalty could continue her family and country, she wouldn’t mind being a princess through marriage. Unfortunately, nobody thought highly of her.

There was a beautiful moving picture.

…Please let me go, all this pile of gold is yours.

Bang!

…Confused and angry, I will hit you and claim this pile of gold as mine!

Chao Lu, just like this pile of gold, is definitely desired by someone from the Bai Ze Kingdom. They will destroy Bai Ze Kingdom and take her away, just like what will happen to Qiongqi Country.

The peace talks never had any hope from the beginning.

What else could she do? She had already thought about giving up and returning, hoping to hold hands with her loved ones and leave together. Just like the dragonflower… But the dragonflower at least had a chance to sacrifice itself, what about her? She didn’t even have a chance to sacrifice herself.

Whether Bai Wei is the last straw for her survival or not, she will seize it without hesitation. She trusts every word he says, and that is enough. He doesn’t need to say so much, even if it’s a lie. She will follow him to the ends of the earth, willing to drown herself completely in this lie. As for whether they can truly save Bai Ze Kingdom, she hasn’t thought about it too much.

Unless a heroic spirit takes charge at the country’s gate, no one can save them. What they are doing now is perhaps just buying a little more time to catch their breath.

It’s okay to think of this as the last long journey of your life.

As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of "honeymoon" and her cheeks turned red.

"You’re blushing," Bai Wei said. "What are you thinking about?"

"Um… Nothing, really!" Chao Lu immediately denied, feeling a bit embarrassed. She lacked the boldness of Liu Xiaowan and changed the subject. "What about her? What should we do? Should we bring her to the palace?"

"Do you think there’s something wrong with her?" Bai Wei asked with a hidden meaning.

…I think she might disturb our honeymoon.

…A sweet death in January.

Chao Lu glanced at the snake girl and saw her sleeping peacefully. "There shouldn’t be any problems. I probed her mind earlier, and she didn’t have any defenses. Her magic is also working normally. Since she’s a resident of the palace, we can bring her along."

Bai Wei was uncertain; he felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

The snake girl’s goal is also the imperial court. Their goal is also the imperial court, and they also saved people by chance.

The imperial court is the name of a city, and it is a super big city with a population of eight million. It is also a rare pure land in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, where a snake girl can be accommodated.

But the problem lies here. Why did the peaceful imperial court come to Xiangliu country?

Unfortunately, the fragments of heaven are completely bound to the coordinates of reality, and they should be kept secret. Otherwise, this snake girl would be imprisoned and all kinds of troubles would be avoided.

Suddenly, Chao Lu said, "You probably aren’t interested in playing with snakes, right?"

Bai Wei, "What?"

He snapped back to his senses and stared at the fairy woman, "What nonsense are you thinking? How could I have such a hobby?"

Chao Lu lowered her head and then persistently asked a question she was concerned about, "Then… what about dragons?"

Somehow, she thought of Michelle, the Dragonborn, and added a supplement, "The dragons from the East."

"Is there a possibility…?" Bai Wei tried to ask, "Am I more inclined towards people?"

"Absolutely impossible."

"Hmm…" Bai Wei exclaimed, disconnected from the network. The puppet ended the connection, leaving only Crouching Tiger Sword here on guard.

Chao Lu held her cheek, pondering if she was being too emotional. But there was nothing to talk about in the long night. After Matsushita arrived, she couldn’t help but associate the snake with a dragon.

She thought to herself that she still held some grudges.

So, it was Xue Hanlei, and it was the East Sea Dragon Palace…

The sting of Xue Hanlei’s words still lingered in her heart. Xue Hanlei could never have imagined that Young Master Bai would come looking for her. If she knew, would that dragon lie on the beach, biting its lips with an envious and jealous expression?

At first, it might seem satisfying, but Chao Lu soon found herself smiling bitterly.

"…I can’t figure it out. I can’t understand it. And he won’t even tell me… Why?"

A cold laugh echoed like a fantasy.

– He thinks he owes you this!

Chao Lu pretended not to hear the words and softly said, "I’ve been under a lot of mental stress lately… I hope I’m not going crazy… but that wouldn’t be so bad."
