CHAPTER XXIX
Kudongguo? Isn't this the Red South Country?
"Qing, the green dragon witch...... What's going on here? β
Xiao Wei was still stunned, Qiao Na had quickly found the point of his words, this was not the country that Xiao Wei and they came to at the beginning, so corresponding to the Vermilion Bird Witch in the Red South Country, the Blue Dragon Witch was probably the person this country needed.
"Who are you talking about the Blue Dragon Shrine Maiden?"
After thinking about it for a while, Jona looked at the blonde young man in front of her with a little vigilance, although he had a heart-pounding smile on his handsome face and slightly raised eyes that looked very sexy, Jona always felt that everything was a little unnatural.
"The legend of the Blue Dragon Witch will bring prosperity to our country, and she came from a different world to be chosen by the Blue Dragon. By awakening the green dragon, you can fulfill the three wishes of the witch. The blonde-haired man looked polite and answered the questions of the two girls with a smile, "Who is the witch of the green dragon, I can't be sure for the time being, but as long as the two of you go to the green dragon hall with me, you can understand." β
ββ¦β¦β
Hongo Yui was a little overwhelmed when she heard this, she remembered the appearance of Mizhu being held by the hearts of the people when she became a Suzaku shrine maiden, and she looked at Jona as if asking for advice, but Jona was still unmoved.
"No, what I want to know is why you think the shrine maiden of the green dragon is among us." Qiao Na looked at him quietly, "Xiao Wei and I are just ordinary people passing by, you can't be mistaken." β
"No, I'm pretty sure, because I'm one of the Seven Stars of the Green Dragon Witch, and my mission is to protect the Witch, and when the Witch came, I had already sensed it."
Antarite still replied with a smile, I don't know why, after seeing too much of Asakura's good facial paralysis smile, Jona has learned to observe other people's expressions. If there is no emotion under Makura's good smile, then under the appearance of this man's smile, there is a faint trace of evil.
"But we're all ordinary people." Jona frowned, "What are the conditions for becoming this Blue Dragon Witch, as long as you come from other worlds?" β
"It depends on the will of the Blue Dragon Star Monarch." The blonde-haired man, with a fake smile on his face, did not answer the question directly, but said as if he had read through the minds of the two, "If the ladies want to go back to their original world, they can also make a wish to Qinglong through guΓ², and any wish can be fulfilled." β
"Any wishes?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wei suddenly shook a little. She turned to look at Jona, and there was a hint in her eyes that she wanted to try it out, "Shall we ...... then?"
"Did your friend Mijoo summon Suzaku?" Jona asked coldly.
"That's not ......," Xiao Yui shook his head.
"Then we don't call." Jona said resolutely, "I don't believe that there is such a simple thing, and if the wish is fulfilled, there will inevitably be a corresponding price...... In some myths, even if you make a wish to the gods, you have to give sacrifices. What's more, we can't be sure what kind of existence the green dragon is at all. If it's for the prosperity of the country...... Offering a maiden to the so-called gods is simply a common plot, let me think about it, if the shrine maiden makes three wishes, will she also be devoured by the green dragon? β
ββ¦β¦β
Unexpectedly, after Qiao Na tentatively expressed his speculation in the worst case, the smile of the blonde man who was very polite just now became cold, he stared at Qiao Na intently, and soon smiled again, "No, Miss is too worried, although the witch can awaken the green dragon, but don't worry, this does not cost anything." β
"I don't believe what you say." Jona also stared into his eyes, "I don't like to take risks without being sure, especially this kind of thing that I can't control. β
"Senior, you're so right, I didn't even think of this possibility......"
Xiao Wei suddenly came to her senses, and she hurriedly said to the blonde man, "No, forget it...... We don't want to be the Blue Dragon Shrine Maiden. β
Xiao Wei's voice was a little uneasy, but he still simply rejected the other party directly. However, what was a bit surprising was that Qiao Na thought that Antares would turn his face in anger because of this, but his expression did not change, and he still said to the two of them very gently, "It doesn't matter, if the young ladies change their attention, Antares of the Blue Dragon Seven Star Warriors will always be waiting for you here." β
"That...... Thank you. β
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Xiao Wei was still a little reluctant, and after thanking the other party, he followed Qiao Na away.
The two walked a long way, and Xiao Wei secretly glanced behind him and found that the other party was still watching them in place.
"If we can't get out...... Maybe ......"
"Don't be fooled." Jona, as if she knew what Xiao Yui was going to say, directly interrupted her, "There are no such light things in the world, have you ever thought about why we, who are ordinary people, suddenly have three chances to fulfill our wishes in vain?" β
I'm afraid of the price to pay...... It's not something you can afford.
"I was wrong, Jona-senpai." Xiao Wei was very frightened, "I won't become a Qinglong witch, and when I go back, I must tell SΓΉ Meizhu and ask her not to touch this book again." β
"Hmm." Joanna nodded faintly.
Before they knew it, they had come to the urban circulation and trading area of Kudongguo, where there were more people, but everyone on the street was depressed, and there were many ragged homeless people lying in the corners of the city, crying and scolding, and many beggars begging.
This scene looked a little bad, and when I inquired about it, I learned that the king of the kingdom of Kudong was not virtuous, and was punished by the gods, and it had not rained for a long time, and the crops had not been harvested, but the king was lascivious, and the palace was all day long, regardless of the life of the people. The people are dying of hunger, and the taxes will be increased, and the daughters and wives of those who cannot pay the taxes will be taken away. Many people fled the country with their wives and daughters, and now everyone wants to become a citizen of the Red South, and many people even take the risk of crossing the border, but once they are caught, they will be executed on the spot for treason, and I heard that General Xinsu killed many people, all of whom were refugees who fled from the city.
This country is really bad...... Although I sympathize with the people of Kudong Province, after all, this is just the world in the book.
"So do you know Taiyi-kun?"
She asked the homeless people who were lying on the ground.
"I don't know, what is that?"
The homeless men looked at each other, but they all shook their heads in confusion, and finally they looked at Jona pleadingly, "Well-dressed young lady, you can reward us with something." β
"What do you want?" Jona asked.
"We haven't eaten anything in days." They cried, "One loaf of bread is fine, please." β
"I don't have bread, but I can give you something else." Jona glanced at the wasteland covered with dead leaves on the side of the street, said to Xiao Yui, "Wait for me", and walked to the wasteland.
The Daughter of Mori Green: Recreated.
Xiao Wei originally looked at Qiao Na curiously, but after seeing a giant tree full of fruit growing at a speed visible to the naked eye on that wasteland, she couldn't help but be shocked, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "What's going on?!" Jona-senpai?! β
"It's nothing, it's just my ability."
Jona held out her hand, and the tree, as if spiritual, fell a ripe fruit from the branch into her hand.
"Try it, this one seems to be called Garingo...... It's similar to apples, but the key words are non-toxic and full-filled, and I often grow plants that I don't recognize. β
As she spoke, Qiao Na threw the fruit at Xiao Wei, who looked at the bright red fruit, hesitated, and took a bite gently.
ββ¦β¦ Delicious! β
"Really? Then give it to the refugees. Joanna looked up at the fruit tree. If you can adapt to the difficult living environment of the Demon Realm, then you should be able to survive in this kind of drought.
"It's a miracle...... What a miracle! β
"Miracle girl! You must have been sent by the gods to save us! β
Witnessing this qiΔ process, the poor people who received the fruit cried out in disbelief, they had already identified Jona as the embodiment of the goddess, and happily gnawed on the fruit of the giant tree, and one by one kowtowed and knelt down to thank him.
Jona calmly faced these poor people who regarded her as a messenger of the gods, and did not accept or explain, but asked again, "So everyone, does anyone know where the legendary Taiyi-kun is?" β
"Taiyi-kun? What's that......"
When they heard this, they all looked at each other and began to talk in whispers, but none of them seemed to know what Jona was talking about. But this is also expected, it is normal for ordinary people not to know these things, but just when Jona was not hopeful, a teenager suddenly jumped out of the crowd, raised his hand and said to them, "I know, I know!" In the past, I heard my father say that when I was transporting goods, I would occasionally pass by Taiyijun's mountain, if you want to go, I will send you there after Dad returns from delivery in a few days! β
"That's great, please."
Jona was immediately overjoyed, and thanked Xiao Wei happily.
"Why! That's as it should be! β
The boy also rubbed his nose and said happily.
Things seem to be solved, Xiao Wei couldn't help but relax, sighing that it was really a lot of disasters after coming to this world, although she still couldn't forget the ghost that saved her and Meizhu in the first place, but after all, they didn't belong to this world, and after going back, they had to persuade Meizhu again, don't approach this book anymore to do dangerous things, or work hard to prepare for the exam, hoping that they can all be admitted to the Ice Emperor together in the coming year......
But at this moment, Jona suddenly felt a not-so-good-natured gaze behind her.
That gaze was very piercing, vaguely with malice, which made her suddenly shake her spirit. Jona immediately looked back, but there was no suspicious person behind her, except for the group of poor people surrounding them.
Is it a delusion? Joanna frowned and thought to herself. But it doesn't matter.
After she withdrew her gaze, the blonde-haired figure leaning against the corner suddenly sneered, and then left the place without looking back.
