LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 16 Dusk
After Qingtian took Meili and ran out of the Lingshi Store, he immediately met the butler and guards waiting nearby.
There is strength in numbers. In addition to finding security within yourself, you can also borrow it from others.
Qingtian was very satisfied with the crowd around him, and bravely watched for a while, but the goblin didn't follow...
There was a big question mark on Meili's face, Qingtian gave her an ellipsis: I'll tell you slowly when I get back.
My sister, there have been so many changes and little secrets since she came back from the trial.
"Then let's go to the clothing store first to decide on the dress for the banquet."
"Okay!" Sunny nodded.
So except for the housekeeper who went to the Lingshi store to check out and get the goods, everyone else went to the clothing store together.
This is the first time Qingtian has experienced a high-end clothing store of this size up close.
Every skirt made in the store for women attending palace banquets is not only well-made and smooth in design, but also uses popular materials and expensive accessories. There are even miniature psychic arrays engraved on the bottom of some embellished accessories. Can produce different special effects.
Mei Li likes blue. The main color of the skirt is the gradient starry sky, with layers of soft light gauze, sprinkled with diamonds and sapphires. After using starlight psychic special effects, it looks like a star-studded deep blue universe.
When she put on this dress, Qing Tian was stunned, as if in a dream, like an elf falling into the mortal world.
The dress for the sunny day was chosen by Kasna. It was a light brown translucent tulle embroidered with gold thread, layered with diamonds and obsidian, and used a scattered halo of psychic effects.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel a little lost on a sunny day. The girl is as dazzling as a gem. Is this me now? It's a bit unreal.
Every girl has a princess dream. Qingtian feels that she has realized the dream she once had, a warm family, a rich life, a beautiful princess dress...
"What's wrong? You don't seem happy?" Meili came over with matching hair accessories and gently helped Qingtian arrange her hair.
Qingtian lowered his head: "I just miss my mother a little bit."
"No way, we've only been out for a long time, but mom has such good taste, the skirts look great on her!"
Qingtian nodded, remembering that a long time ago, he had an argument with his mother because he couldn't wear skirts when learning martial arts. That was already in the previous life...
"Meili, let's leave a picture!"
"good idea!"
So the two of them brought their "equipment" and used special psychic stones to record a heartwarming image. Yilan was eight years old and Meili was eleven, a beautiful childhood time.
……
Seeing that it was getting late, the group went to the Spiritual Pet Center to pick up Nami.
It is simply a paradise for pets, with everything from grooming, feeding, playgrounds, spiritual infusion, spiritual enlightenment, skill training, etc.
When I saw Nami, he was lying lazily on the soft mat next to the pet swimming pool. Special staff were helping to take care of his white curly hair. Fish jelly and spiritual fruit were placed in front of his paws with manicured nails...
Qingtian stared straight ahead, almost doubting life. What does the dream of a princess mean? This is the pinnacle of life!
Someone is raising and pampering her, and she is completely unburdened! Why didn't she travel through time to Nano...
Nami shuddered at Qingtian's jealous little eyes, and helplessly pushed the dinner plate toward her with her chubby paws, and then pushed it.
Meow - eat it, I'll reward you.
Qingtian twitched the corner of his mouth, grabbed a small red fruit and threw it into his mouth. It was very sweet and delicious. He grabbed two more...
Seeing that Sunny was eating well, Nami waggled her tail and meowed proudly, looking like she had successfully shared and was satisfied.
It was interesting to see it on a sunny day and I rubbed it on the head.
Meili and the housekeeper next to her were a little dumbfounded. Do they usually interact like this? Why is it a bit weird? When did Yilan start eating cat food?
After packing up, the two carriages returned to Morton Manor from the imperial capital.
The sunshine that had been shining brightly all day converged and slowly set in the west.
……
"Elder Su Mu, they are returning in a carriage!"
In the Divine Chosen Group, Su Mucheng sat on the sofa and looked at the image transmission mirror and nodded: "I saw it."
The deputy elder Sora next to him smiled awkwardly...
Su Mucheng frowned and raised his head to look at him without speaking.
Um? Vice Elder Sola was stunned by his dark purple eyes: "That..."
"How long are you going to stand here?"
"Oh, yes, I'll go right away!"
Sora finally woke up and remembered what he should do now.
Wasn't it just to test a stupid kid? I was actually nervous all afternoon...
No, if the other party is really possessed by a powerful and evil demon spirit as the elder said, that would be quite tricky.
"Elder Su Mu, if the opponent is very powerful, it will be difficult for me to control the power..."
Su Mucheng stretched out his finger and wiped it lightly on the image transmission mirror with an expressionless face, and the picture suddenly became blurry.
"Except for Morton Yilan, no one else cares about life or death."
Sola trembled, that was a member of the Morton family! Forget it, the sky is falling... the saint is holding it up.
"Then Morton Yilan..."
"I will keep watching and give you a signal to stop at a certain point."
"Yes!"
……
The sunset in the evening reflected the red clouds, sweeping away the sultry heat of the day, and the wind picked up.
On a sunny day, I was lying on the window edge admiring the scenery of the city suburbs. The wind picked up the broken hair on my temples and cleaned the tip of my nose, which made me itch and sneeze——
"Does it look good?" Meili also poked her head out.
"It's beautiful. The sun sets and the dragonfly touches the water. It's interesting."
Meow meow--
Nami suddenly stood up, put his little paws on the other window edge and screamed.
"what happened?"
Qingtian and Meili turned around and saw that the steward's carriage was stopped by many soldiers at the fork in the road ahead.
After a while, the sisters' carriage also slowly stopped. The driver and a guard got out of the car.
"Miss, the military passage in front is closed. They said that the Divine Chosen Group borrowed the barracks venue this afternoon to hold internal selections. We may have to take a detour." The housekeeper hurried over to explain the situation.
"Wasn't it good when you came?" Qingtian asked doubtfully.
"I don't know the details. I also showed my pass from the Duke's Palace, but it didn't work either."
"So strict?"
"How about I summon the Duke and ask him to say hello?"
"Is it a long detour?" Meili didn't want to find her father. Favors are sometimes more troublesome than detours.
"It will take half an hour longer to arrive by taking the ordinary commercial road."
"How about we take a detour, what do you think Yilan?" Meili turned to look at her sister. She didn't have anything to do, it was only half an hour longer. She was mainly worried that Yilan would be hungry.
Qingtian was more sensitive to the Chosen Group, so it was best not to run into them, so he nodded in agreement.
"Let's take a detour. Let's eat some snacks in the car first. It looks like dinner will be late."
Mei Li distributed the pastries to the coachman and the guards. The housekeeper contacted the manor steward and asked Kasna to start dinner later. Then everyone turned around and took a detour from the northwest.
There were still some carriages and horses on the trade road at first, but once they left Dakkin Province and entered the border of Tatton Province, they could only see the faint outline of the woods in the dusk, and there were no more vehicles.
Meili lit up the car's built-in psychic lamp. The yellowish light left a faint strip of light as the fast-moving carriage moved forward, but it soon disappeared.
Qing Tian held Nami in his arms and looked out the window at the increasingly dark sky, feeling a little uneasy for no reason. Nami felt her emotions and licked her hand obediently.
The driver and the guard who were chatting at the head of the carriage are no longer talking now.
In the quiet woods, only the even sound of horse hooves and the rhythmic rolling of wheels can be heard.
Suddenly, the carriage in front made a clanging sound, which immediately disturbed everyone's sensitive nerves.
The horses neighed and the carriage came to an emergency stop.
"Oh, damn! We hit something!" The driver's curse came from the distance.
"Old man, don't panic, Tang En, go to the lady's side! William, you two go over and take a look, pay attention to your safety."
The housekeeper is still very calm. After all, he is old and has always experienced some things.
Tang En was the second-highest among the four guards and a junior in heaven. After hearing the butler's instructions, he quickly walked towards the sisters' carriage.
The fourth-level guard guarding the sisters, named Qiao Qi, was paying close attention to the surrounding movements, with one hand on his sword. Although it might be a false alarm, being cautious enough is the quality a guard should have.
The two guards who went to check lit a candle and held sabers.
The sky was completely dark at this moment, and the dim lights in the carriage and the candles swaying in the wind gave off a pale light, as if they were about to be swallowed up by darkness at any time.
