Chapter 283 Getting angry
Chapter 283 Getting angry
Ning Zhe was not around, and Xia Yubing was in no mood to run around the street in suspenders and freeze, so she obediently put on a pair of canvas trousers and followed Fusolus to the hypermarket in Vivian Harbor.
The predecessor of Vivian Port Hypermarket was an ancient residents' market. Villagers living nearby would bring their own handicrafts and agricultural products here and exchange them for refined salt and silver coins with camel-riding merchants. Fishermen would also come here with pearls and seafood they caught, and over time the market grew to a large scale.
The Vivian Port hypermarket has now become a famous international trade center, with many famous brands opening stores here, including a women's clothing brand named after Fussole, which mainly sells swimwear, underwear, and some intimate bedding. Fussole holds two fashion shows at Vivian Port every year, one underwear show and one swimwear show, in early summer and late summer respectively.
The fashion show of Fusoles and the jewelry exhibition of Milicato are both famous events in Vivian Port.
"Tomorrow is the last swimsuit show held in Vivian Harbor. It's a pity that the respected Mr. Dyke was unable to come due to something." Fusolus Milicato put one hand in his trouser pocket, shook his head and sighed.
This was the third time he had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned this matter in front of Xia Yubing. From the tone of his voice, it seemed that he was hinting at something, which made her inexplicably angry.
Xia Yubing raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Vivian Harbor is sinking, but your brand is still operating and the models have not retired. The next swimsuit show will still be held in another place, and it can even be more grand, right?"
Fusolus smiled and shook his head: "Flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again. Once you miss some precious things, you will never meet them again. Even if you can pick them up in the distant future, the people and things you pick up will no longer be the same as before."
What this means is that Van Dyke left due to some urgent matters, and what he missed was not a superficial fashion show, but something more important.
"You might as well explain it more clearly." Xia Yubing said in a deep voice.
"It seems that I have been presumptuous." Fusolus smiled and did not continue.
Xia Yubing really wanted to know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in such a mysterious way, but the other party didn't seem to want to continue.
After all, her current identity was just a grantee who was brought back from Kyushu by Marquis Van Dyke. She was persecuted by local forces and had to seek political asylum from the Dyke family. If it weren't for the fact that this lady Xia seemed to have some intimate relationship with Marquis Van Dyke in private, Fusorus would not have wasted his precious time on this foreign woman.
After shopping in the hypermarket, Xia Yubing went back to the hotel to rest, using the excuse of having something to do. She lay on the bed and wrote down everything she had just seen and Fusolus's strange behavior in a notebook, hoping that Ning Zhe could see it as soon as possible.
At the same time, Ning Zhe had already gotten off the plane and was heading towards Vanessa Castle.
Vanessa Castle is located at the foot of Mount Boreto, with only one larger town nearby called Brechette. There is no airport in the town, and after Fusolus's private plane landed at the nearest airport, Ning Zhe immediately drove along the highway to the town of Brechette, where he abandoned the car and left.
Using Taiyi's 'change' rule to switch his identity to that of a flying bird, Ning Zhe flew directly into Mount Boreto, which had long been designated as a nature reserve. The Vanessa Castle, which was filled with a heavy historical atmosphere, was located at the foot of the mountain.
After flying to the foot of the mountain, Ning Zhe was not in a hurry to go in, because he had discovered on the way here that the road into the mountain had been blocked by roadblocks. Occasionally, a police car could be seen parked at the intersection, stopping and inspecting vehicles passing on the road.
Ning Zhe tried to switch to Aurore's identity, disguised as an ordinary woman passing by, and found a policeman to ask about the situation here. The answer he got was: "Not long ago, a thief broke into Vanessa Castle and stole the precious cultural relics stored inside. This area has been blocked now. No one is allowed to enter." "It seems that the Flimmisret family has taken action and mobilized the police to block the roads around Vanessa Castle." Ning Zhe understood roughly.
When I said goodbye to Lan Shiwen in the dream before, the last words he left were: [The people of the Fulim family already know that I came in, and their ascenders are on their way to kill me. ]
——In order to wash off the ideological stamp, Ning Zhe tried to let Lan Shiwen die for him in his dream and trigger the death return, but failed. Lan Shiwen's "save point" was after he was stamped with the ideological stamp.
Although the reset failed, the alarmed Lan Shiwen still found Vanessa Castle and provided Ning Zhe with a crucial piece of information by engraving a message, helping him solve the puzzle of the "ghost".
The arrival of this uninvited guest also alarmed the family members of Frimmisret's family.
"Among those responsible for sealing Vanessa Castle, there should be a Grantee or even an Upgrader. We need to be careful."
Ning Zhe transformed into a long-tailed tit, standing on the branch of a birch tree. A pale girl without facial features stood quietly on the treetop one step behind him. She was wearing a wedding dress as red as blood, and the gold thread on the fabric was shaped into a pattern of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. Between her ten white fingers was an opened almanac:
【The 24th day of the seventh lunar month】
[Suitable for: traveling, visiting relatives, accepting marriage proposals, building, and getting out of trouble.]
【Avoid: buying and selling, burial,】
I'm lucky today. I found 5 auspicious items and 2 unlucky items. Moreover, when Ning Zhe was flying here with the almanac, two of the 'auspicious' items had already been triggered.
"Chuhuo" is a Chinese word unique to the lunar calendar and needs to be explained as two separate words.
"Chu" means to move, and "huo" refers to incense, that is, the altar of the gods, and can also refer to the stove fire or furnace fire for cooking.
"Out of fire" means moving incense burners, plaques, statues and other shrines used to worship gods, or moving the stove for cooking at home. If it is changed to modern families, it can probably be understood as moving electric rice cookers, induction cookers, gas stoves for cooking, etc.
Now Ning Zhe is carrying around the almanac that carries the Snake God's summons and rules, and is constantly performing the auspicious event of 'coming out of the fire', without having to find a special deity to move to.
Of course, if he is unlucky one day and opens the almanac to find that "fire" is on the taboo list, Ning Zhe will be unable to move forward.
After adding two buffs to himself, Ning Zhe spread his wings and left the treetops, went into the woods and went around the mountain behind the castle, avoiding the multiple checkpoints set up by the police, and quietly flowed into the Vanessa Castle in the real world.
