Chapter 148: This is an Opportunity
Audel was the type who appeared expressionless but was, in fact, extremely outgoing and would never be fazed no matter where she went.
Viola, on the other hand, was usually majestic and heroic, but in a new and unfamiliar environment, she would suddenly become reserved.
As a result of her being so reserved, Li Chengxi also became reserved.
“You don’t need to be so tense. Like I said, just make yourself at home here. Just pretend you’re here on vacation, you can be more casual.”
“I’m not reserved. I feel very good.”
“But why do I feel like you seemed a bit disappointed just now?”
“It’s nothing… It’s just a bit beyond my expectations.”
“?”
Li Chengxi was waiting for Viola’s explanation, but when she saw him staring at her, her face suddenly flushed, and she quickly looked straight ahead, avoiding his gaze.
Although Viola didn’t believe what Audel had said about the Demon God having a harem of ten thousand beauties and that believers must offer up beautiful young maidens in prayer, she was still, in fact, a little expectant.
So just now, when Viola heard Li Chengxi say he was going to change his clothes, she thought some R-rated scene was about to unfold.
She had already mentally prepared herself.
But in the end, it was really just changing clothes.
Viola, after all, was not as bold as Audel.
She could never bring herself to say something like ‘have a child with me’ out loud, so she could only explain while looking straight ahead:
“I just, I just feel that the Divine Realm is not quite what I imagined.”
“It’s actually not that grand. Didn’t you hear what Audel said?”
“I did, but seeing it with my own eyes is still very surprising.”
The Divine Realm Viola had imagined should have been a super-massive, resplendent palace.
Putting aside the matter of having wives and concubines in droves, there should at the very least be servants, musicians, and dancers filling every nook and cranny.
Outside the palace would be guarded by a massive host of heroic spirit warriors loyal to the Demon God, an army so vast it should stretch from the heavens to the earth.
Every time the Demon God appeared, they would roar ‘long live Your Majesty’ and so on.
Even though Audel had said it was completely different from Viola’s imagination, Viola still felt that, at the very least, finding a sword should not be a problem.
That was why she had so carelessly let Qian Sen take away her Crimson Fang.
Who would have known that Li Chengxi’s place didn’t even have anything that resembled a sword, forcing him to make do with a broom.
Hearing Viola’s imaginings, Li Chengxi couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
Isn’t this just Qin Shihuang? So you’re saying I should also have rivers and seas made of mercury, and famous mountains and great rivers made of gold and silver, right?
“Although I don’t have the things you mentioned, I do have some things that you don’t have over there.”
Glancing at Viola’s outfit again, Li Chengxi said:
“Tomorrow, I’ll take you to buy some clothes and look around the neighborhood. For today, just stay at home. A master craftsman is coming over later to fix the glass.”
When Viola heard this, her lips immediately curled into a happy smile, but perhaps to maintain her serious image, she tried her best to suppress a wide grin.
It looked as if she was struggling to keep a straight face.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Dark clouds filled the sky, and the trembling, muffled thunder rumbled from the distant horizon, making one’s heart tighten with tension.
As a cultivator, a type of person most people considered closest to an immortal, what was Lei Lei doing at this moment?
“No, please don’t. I know I was wrong, don’t cut my allowance… Master?”
Lei Lei put down her phone.
Although it hadn’t started raining outside, it was already pouring in her heart.
When Audel came, Lei Lei had taken down Li Chengxi’s security door with a two-handed stele-splitting palm.
When Viola came, she shattered the second-floor bedroom window with a knight’s flying kick, and now it was waiting to be repaired.
The first time, since it was her first offense, Lei Lei’s master had merely criticized and educated her.
The second time, she couldn’t be let off so lightly.
In short, her allowance was cut first, and they’d talk later.
Being out in the world, the living expenses her master gave Lei Lei were quite generous.
This was because Lei Lei was young and couldn’t find a job on her own.
Her senior martial brothers and sisters who had entered the mortal world for cultivation earlier than her were already able to work and earn their own money, having no need for living expenses from their master.
But this time, it was her pocket money that was cut.
This meant she had enough to live on, but if she wanted to buy some snacks or anything, not a chance.
Actually, Lei Lei’s style was quite similar to the two transmigrators who had come to Li Chengxi’s house.
She had grown up with her master deep in the mountains since she was a child, so how could she have ever seen this dazzling world?
Once she came out for her mortal world cultivation, she was instantly captivated by snacks and drinks, much like Viola and Audel’s obsession with instant noodles.
With no pocket money, her snacks and drinks would naturally have to be cut back.
Lei Lei was so miserable…
This made her have to consider getting a part-time job on top of her schooling.
But before that, Lei Lei pulled out a yellow paper talisman and held it to her ear.
Li Chengxi and Viola’s conversation came through the yellow paper.
Unlike Audel, Viola was not a mage and did not discover the detection talisman Lei Lei had secretly placed in the convenience store.
Otherwise, she would have had to wait until they left to place it again, which would be very troublesome.
After listening for a while, Lei Lei became confused.
What Divine Realm?
How did it become like Qin Shihuang?
Could it be that Li Chengxi was an old Earth Deity who had lived since the time of Qin Shihuang?
Thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem right.
After all, Li Chengxi didn’t give off a sense of ancientness; he didn’t seem like someone who had lived for a very long time.
Just as she was wondering what the two were talking about, she heard Li Chengxi say, ‘Tomorrow, I’ll take you to buy some clothes and look around the neighborhood.’
Go out for a look around?
This was a great opportunity!
The last time he took Audel to buy clothes, Lei Lei had no idea it was happening.
After all, the detection talisman she had placed in the convenience store had been destroyed by Audel.
This time, she happened to overhear it.
Lei Lei felt that Li Chengxi was usually very meticulous about pretending to be a mortal, and it wasn’t easy to catch his flaws.
But when facing a transmigrator from another world, he might relax a little.
Therefore, this was a good opportunity.
So Lei Lei immediately picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Gan Xiaoyan, writing, ‘I want to go buy some new clothes tomorrow, will you come with me?’
A few seconds later, Gan Xiaoyan replied with an ‘OK’ sticker.
It was settled.
She would just wait until tomorrow to secretly follow them, making it convenient to observe from the shadows…
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The heavy rain poured all day.
The next day, the weather was exceptionally clear, as if all the moisture in the sky had been rained out yesterday, leaving a sky clear for ten thousand miles.
Since it was the weekend, very few customers came by at this time anyway.
Li Chengxi, wanting to cool off, also got up early, preparing to take Viola out to buy clothes.
But speaking of which, just going out like this was too conspicuous, for example, her hair color.
It was true that Viola had red hair, but you have to understand that there are many shades of red.
Her hair color was a vivid red, or more accurately, it was like a dancing flame, extremely brilliant.
But you wouldn’t see anyone walking on the street with this color.
Even if they dyed their hair red, it was usually wine-red or dark red.
Viola was not a mage; she couldn’t change her hair color with a tap of her finger like Audel.
It was too late to dye her hair now, so Li Chengxi had to dig out a baseball cap and put it on Viola’s head.
Fortunately, Viola also had short hair, even shorter than Audel’s, so a hat could cover it.
But for some reason, the hat didn’t seem right.
The area around the top of her head was always bulging.
Li Chengxi put it on and took it off, repeating this two or three times, before he noticed a small black horn hidden in Viola’s hair.
“Emmm… so it’s because of the horn. Let’s try a different hat.”
“If it’s a problem because of the horn, I’ll just take it off.”
Viola reached up, pushed aside her hair, and plucked the horn right off.
“That can actually be taken off?”
“Yes, it’s just a hairpin. We Demon Race have a custom of using horns as ornaments, but some people are born without them, so jewelry stores sell this kind of hairpin.”
He had learned something new.
It really was another world, with customs different from Earth.
