Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Strange Girl
“Human beings really have a talent for entertainment.”
After getting off the Skyrocket, Sandora commented as such.
It seemed like I had heard her praise humans before, sigh, it seems that in Sandora’s eyes, the only redeeming feature of humans really is just their spirit for entertainment…
Qianqian stretched beside me and took a deep breath, “Phew—sitting on the Skyrocket really leaves you feeling refreshed and invigorated!”
I looked around at the other visitors who had just come off the Skyrocket, each pale and even still slightly trembling, and I couldn’t help but feel that my life, surrounded by various Superwomen, was infinitely bleak.
“Pandora, was the Skyrocket fun?”
I smiled, lowered my head, and gently ruffled the hair of the little girl, whose serious expression couldn’t hide the slight smile tugging at her lips, and asked.
Pandora hesitated for a moment, then revealed a happy smile and nodded forcefully, replying, “Yes!”
“Alright, let’s head to our next destination… Oh no!”
My sudden cry alarmed Qianqian and the others, “What’s wrong?”
I frantically searched through all my pockets, then spread my hands and said, “Dingdang is gone!”
Everyone became anxious instantly.
It goes without saying, it must have happened on the Skyrocket when the ride was too intense, and the petite Little One was thrown out—since there are no buttons on my pockets!
It’s hard to imagine, if Dingdang, this supernatural being, appeared in public, what kind of disastrous reactions it would trigger!
It could even possibly draw global attention!
I was not worried that Dingdang would get hurt. Despite being only palm-sized and seemingly delicate, her body is purely Divine Race and given her current status as the ruler god of this world (a ruler god receives a bug-level status granting immunity from all conventional damage in this world), she could probably push back even if a small planet were to hit the Earth…
“Where could this little thing have gone…” We looked around, our eyes nearly popping out, but the problem is Dingdang is merely about fifteen centimeters tall—God knows where she was thrown!
What’s worse, this amusement park pays a lot of attention to environmental preservation; with this girl covered in lush greenery, wearing a green dress and green hair, if Dingdang was thrown into the bushes…
“Lin Xue, is your ability of any use?” In my urgency, I could only turn to the girl next to me who could turn any small incident into a world-level disaster.
Lin Xue didn’t hesitate, immediately closed her eyes, and began to carefully sense the surrounding energy fluctuations.
After a long while, she opened her eyes and reluctantly shook her head.
That was normal, after all, Dingdang is a god, and any scrutiny by mortals is prohibited by Divinity unless Dingdang willingly releases her energy. Otherwise, even if Lin Xue’s power was ten times stronger, she wouldn’t be able to detect Dingdang’s presence.
Just then, Pandora suddenly tugged at my sleeve and pointed behind me, saying, “Brother, over there.”
I turned around just in time to see the dizzy Dingdang skewedly flying out of a small flower bed.
It seemed the little thing had been completely shaken silly and didn’t even notice it was about to fly into a crowd…
Luckily, there weren’t too many visitors around this area, and most people’s attention was drawn to other attractions. Considering how tiny Dingdang was, nobody noticed this little figure wobbling in the air.
Without my instruction, Qianqian had already slowed down time around us, and then Pandora, like a white bolt of lightning, shot forward. The next second, the little thing was grabbed by the wings and placed in my hands by Pandora.
Completely disoriented, Dingdang wobbled in my hands for a while, then giggled at me, “Ha… Ha… Ah Jun… Spinning… spinning…”
…It seems that even the robust physique of the Divine Race can have such unexpected weaknesses!
I carefully stored the disoriented Dingdang, trying to flap her wings and fly away, in my pocket, and then said, “Let’s rest for a while, and discuss further after Dingdang comes around.”
No one objected, and frankly speaking, the now ninety-nine percent more adorable Dingdang was much more interesting than those rigid amusement rides…
In a quiet corner with few people around, we found some benches to sit and rest.
Watching the trio of carefree loli either daydreaming, dozing, or amusing themselves, I suddenly felt sentimental: youth is indeed blissful!
… Why did I suddenly feel like I had fallen into some weird mental state? Could it be that maintaining my “daddy” role for too long had completely changed my psychological age?
Just as we were enjoying this rare moment of peace, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from nearby.
I looked towards the source of the voice, and to my surprise, it was Lin Feng, who I had not seen for a long time and had almost become a passerby.
Lin Feng didn’t expect to encounter our group, and seeing Lin Xue with us, he glanced back and forth over us, then suddenly made a strange expression, saying, “Sis, could it be true what Dad said, that you and Brother Chen…”
“Rumors!” Lin Xue and I exclaimed in unison.
Lin Feng was shocked: “Such a well-coordinated couple!”
Lin Xue’s expression darkened: “…believe it or not, I will pinch you!”
Lin Feng completely ignored Lin Xue’s expression; instead, he lost himself in his own fantasy world: “It’s okay if my sister agrees, I have no objections, but I heard Brother Chen already has two…”
We exchanged glances, then in unison yelled: “Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty!”
“Haha… the sun is truly round today…”
Having had little past interaction, I hadn’t realized until now that Lin Feng’s mouth also deserved a good smack! Could this sort of lips, almost usable as a special weapon, be a specialty of the Lin Family? Or is it that anyone associated with Lin Xue might catch this virus-like smacking ability?
“I always feel like someone is secretly speaking ill of me…” Lin Xue suddenly looked suspiciously at me, her eyes gleaming with scrutiny.
I immediately claimed innocence: “That’s your illusion!”
“Ah Jun,” my sister whispered in my ear, “Public channel—we heard your thoughts just now…”
… What in the world was I thinking!
Lin Xue glared at me threateningly for a full ten seconds, giving me the chills, until she finally turned away, and I began to ponder how to minimize the chaos Lin Xue might cause—especially now that she also had access to Shadow City to study the counterfeit Space-Time Sensor, heaven knows what kind of prank she could prepare for me!
With Lin Feng around, we had to be more cautious with our conversation, and more importantly, I had to be careful of the ‘little thing’ in my pocket that might poke its head out due to curiosity—Lin Feng was still unaware of our group’s secrets, but Lin Xue had reliably kept them.
“Little Feng, when did you get back? And where’s your new girlfriend?”
Lin Feng immediately grew a bit reserved as he replied, “What new girlfriend? Sally is my first girlfriend… I just got back today, initially planned to go home first, but then I won a couple of amusement park tickets in a roadside draw, so…”
“Enough, enough, you who have love but no family affection…”
Just then, a tall, pretty girl with brown curly hair came running up to Lin Feng’s side and stuffed a bunch of souvenirs into his hands.
Was this the foreign girlfriend Lin Feng had met in the Amazon Zone, the girl named Sally?
Sure enough, Lin Feng immediately introduced her to us: “Let me introduce everyone, this is my girlfriend, Sally, a half-Chinese mixed-race girl, isn’t she beautiful?”
The girl named Sally bowed politely to us and said in decent Chinese, “Nice to meet you.”
“This is my sister, Lin Xue, I’ve mentioned her to you before; these are my friends…”
Lin Feng introduced us one by one, and Sally seemed to be a very polite girl, continuously greeting us following Lin Feng’s introductions.
Finally, Lin Feng moved on to Pandora.
“This is Pan Lili, Brother Chen’s sworn sister…”
Sally smiled and turned her gaze towards Pandora: “Hello… oh!”
Suddenly, Sally let out a frightened scream, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world; her face turned deathly pale, her eyes, filled with terror, fixated on the slightly astonished Pandora as she staggered backward, eventually tumbling to the ground.
