"Welcome to Jericho City." The two women still looked like they did in the holographic image.
It was just that Wolf Mother wearing clothes made him feel a little unaccustomed...
Wolf Spider put on her usual gentle smile and said to Li Pu, "You look even cuter in person."
"I can fulfill my promise at any time," Wolf Mother said to Li Pu coldly, subtly puffing out her proud chest with her arms crossed.
Wolf Spider and Wolf Mother spoke their own minds, ignoring each other.
"Jericho City will hold a welcome banquet for you in a few days, when all the dignitaries of Jericho City will meet you." Wolf Spider took a step forward, relying on her own affinity; she did not cause Tifa any discomfort.
Wolf Mother said disdainfully, "Kid, first piece of advice, stay away from anyone who seems kind to you."
Sighing, Li Pu didn't want to know what kind of connection these two women had.
"My dear sisters, I just want to take a comfortable bath, eat something, and then sleep in a soft bed."
"Sorry, we want to rest first," he said quietly.
A cool night breeze blew by, reminding the two women, who were a little excited by Li Pu's arrival.
After a moment of awkwardness.
"Get in the car with me, I'll take you to rest," Wolf Spider invited softly.
Li Pu glanced at Tifa in his arms. She nodded, and this time Li Pu helped her and accepted Wolf Spider's proposal.
Wolf Mother did not stop them, but smiled wryly and said to Li Pu, who brushed past her, "I suggest you come to my office, it might be the most comfortable place you'll spend tonight."
Incomprehensible...
Li Pu ignored Wolf Mother and helped Tifa into Wolf Spider's luxurious extended coupe.
Inside the car, which was like a small living room, Wolf Spider sat across from Li Pu and the others, smiling gently.
The aphrodisiac effect of the toxin had slowly dissipated, and the tired Tifa leaned on Li Pu's shoulder and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
Wolf Spider took a bottle of red wine from the car refrigerator and poured it into a goblet, shaking it gently and elegantly.
"Would you like a glass, Your Excellency?" The bright glass reflected her mature smile.
"No thanks, don't drink and drive," Li Pu replied casually. He just wanted to get to a safe place as soon as possible.
Wolf Spider narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "What a humorous child."
She looked up at the beautiful Tifa leaning on Li Pu's shoulder and said, "Beautiful and uninhibited, you two are a match made in heaven."
Li Pu couldn't help but think: Uninhibited? Is this considered uninhibited? Then you haven't seen Tifa carry the entire Italian parliament.
Do you have some misunderstanding about my family's force-speed-double-A weakling Tifa?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Fortunately, this is a parallel world version of Tifa; teaching her from scratch is fine.
"Thank you for your blessings, big sister, you are also very beautiful," Li Pu replied politely.
Hearing Li Pu call her sister, Wolf Spider's eyes curved into crescents.
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling~" The retro car phone next to Wolf Spider rang suddenly, and she answered it with a smile.
Then, her smile disappeared completely.
"What? No one can live in any of the houses in Inner Sail District tonight?"
"Including mine?"
Chapter 4: "Sir, there is only one room left."
Jericho City, on the edge of the Outer Sail District slums.
Sitting in the luxurious extended car, the carriage was filled with a faint fragrance of perfume, the subtle fragrance made Li Pu feel as if he was in a sea of flowers.
The scent was soft and captivating, bringing a sense of comfort, and the exhaustion from running and escaping all day began to emerge.
The delicate and gorgeous texture and cool touch of the seat came into contact with his bare arms. His fingers slid across the soft leather seats, the touch was comfortable, like a gentle and warm embrace.
He felt the slight bumps as the car traveled on the road, but it still maintained its stability and comfort. As the vehicle traveled, Li Pu's stomach felt a slight emptiness, followed by the warm light floating down from the drooping ceiling, casting a gentle glow on him.
A slight reverberation of music came from his ears, the soft and elegant melody surrounding the car.
The noble and sickly beauty opposite him sat quietly, the soft neon lights reflecting on her face, outlining a refined outline. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes seeming to see through Li Pu's heart.
Taking off the white five-petaled Lily flower behind her ear, Wolf Spider's smiling eyes contained a hint of apology, and she presented the flower to Li Pu.
"This is a secluded flower shop, no one will disturb you, please rest well." Her purple-pink eyes sparkled with sincerity, with a "you have to believe me" look on her fox-like face.
As the current City Lord of Jericho City, she absolutely could not admit the fact that she could not even arrange a house in Inner Sail District, absolutely not!
She silently clenched the hand holding the Lily flower.
Calmly accepting the flower, Li Pu saw a retractable high-end small round table in front of him, with two goblets placed on it, both poured by Wolf Spider herself, even though he said he didn't drink.
It was the glimpse of snow-white skin that she inadvertently revealed while pouring the wine that made Li Pu couldn't help but look sideways.
What did she eat to grow up? Although this woman was thin and sickly, she had everything she should have...
His lack of understanding of Jericho City and the accumulated fatigue made him too lazy to think about the accommodation standards, and he felt that having a place to stay was good enough.
Li Pu, who took the flower, suddenly felt Tifa, who was holding his neck, increase her strength.
"Is she pretending to be asleep?"
"It must have been a difficult journey. Poor child, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me." Wolf Spider radiated the loving aura of an older sister, almost overwhelming Li Pu.
Seeing no hint of displeasure on Li Pu's face, Wolf Spider breathed a sigh of relief, retrieved a black card from her snowy cleavage, and slid it across the table.
"This is my supplementary gold card. You can take this young lady around and have some fun before the banquet starts." A feeling of feeding a cute puppy arose within her, and a strange glint flashed in her eyes.
Tifa tightened her embrace around Li Pu...
He remained impassive, silently pushing the gold card given by Wolf Spider back.
Wolf Spider's smile didn't fade, and she said generously, "I apologize, I was too presumptuous. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact me promptly. I'm always happy to be of service."
With that, she retrieved two devices resembling cell phones from her snowy valley, except they were foldable, transparent, and emitted a faint, fragrant scent.
Li Pu's pupils dilated. What kind of four-dimensional snow valley is that?
"Can you set the language to Chinese?" He casually took one, fiddling with this novel Apocalypse device. The "illiterate" Li Pu made the request without hesitation.
Wolf Spider narrowed her beautiful eyes, recording the information Li Pu inadvertently revealed.
"Of course~ Come~ Give me your hand, and I'll teach you how to do it." Wolf Spider approached Li Pu without any reservation, smoothing out the wrinkles on her pencil skirt with both hands, her hips almost touching Li Pu's side as she gently guided his hand across the screen, speaking softly.
The faint floral fragrance from the beauty lingered around his nose, Tifa's natural, pure scent mingling with Wolf Spider's floral perfume in Li Pu's nostrils, creating a clash.
Faced with the bad woman's assault, Tifa coughed lightly, resting her exquisite face on Li Pu's neck.
Her gentle breath tickled his neck, but her breathing seemed a little rushed, and her hands and feet exerted a little force...
Li Pu wisely held Tifa, gently moving his body to distance himself from Wolf Spider.
Wolf Spider saw through this and chuckled, looking at Li Pu with a blooming smile.
He glanced at Wolf Spider, then at the gold card. Li Pu felt helpless inside. It's not that I don't want it, it's that I'm afraid my little darling Tifa will strangle me on the spot...
Fortunately, Wolf Spider quickly finished the settings, and Tifa's increasingly tight lotus arms slowly loosened.
Wolf Spider curled the corner of her lips, gracefully rising, finally letting Li Pu go.
She elegantly exited the car, personally opening the car door for Li Pu.
"This is it."
Following Wolf Spider's guidance, Li Pu picked up Tifa and stepped out of the car.
The ground trembled slightly, not as stable as the previous helipad. Only here did Li Pu truly feel that he was on a city-state made of connected ships.
The salty smell of the sea, accompanied by the moist sea breeze, rushed towards him.
After the sea breeze passed, the unique odor of the slums, mixed with sweat, the poor living environment, and the stench from the open-air drainage ditches, assaulted his nostrils.
Fortunately, the fragrance emanating from the flower shop in front of him diluted these nauseating smells a lot.
However, the atmosphere permeated with poverty and despair in the air was suffocating.
The whispering voices of the residents reached Li Pu's sensitive ears.
Some opened their drafty windows, and the bolder ones watched from afar on the street.
"Shh! Big shots from the Inner Sail District are here!"
"That car is so impressive. I'll get one when I have money!"
"In your next life."
"Isn't that the new City Lord?"
"Really the new City Lord? She actually opened the car door for a young punk?"
"I've only seen the new City Lord on the news. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful in person."
"Heh, just a pretty face, a puppet sent by the upper echelons."
"Don't say that, you don't want to die!"
The bodyguards of the surrounding convoy blocked Li Pu and the others tightly. Except for the smiling Wolf Spider, no one saw the faces of Li Pu and Tifa.
These bodyguards were like celebrities guarding against paparazzi, leaving Li Pu speechless.
Following Wolf Spider into the flower shop, a kind old woman got up to greet them.
"City... City Lord." Wolf Spider hurriedly helped the trembling old woman up.
"Mrs. Iwen, no need to be so polite. When I first came to Jericho City, I was fortunate enough to have you provide me with accommodation. This time, I need to borrow two rooms from you." She held the old woman's hand and said kindly.
After some meaningless small talk, Wolf Spider got up to leave.
"These two are esteemed guests of Jericho City. Please take good care of them. I will reimburse you for all expenses." She glanced at Li Pu, nodded with a smile, and then left gracefully.
"Creak~" The door was gently closed.
Tifa sprang up from Li Pu's arms like a spring.
She walked briskly to the old woman and said softly, "Grandma, tell him there's only one room left."
"Please, please~" she pleaded softly, clasping her hands together.
With an expression that said you know, I know, she winked cutely at the old woman.
The kindly old florist couldn't help but feel affection for Tifa, giving her a knowing and benevolent smile as if to say, "I understand."
Chapter 5: Resting Together
Outer Sail District, a two-story flower shop.
The unbearable smell of the outside world was gone, replaced by a refreshing floral fragrance.
The walls of the living room were covered with all kinds of flowers, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.
After Tifa jumped out of his arms, Li Pu started fiddling with the novel terminal in his hand.
In his previous life, as an internet addict, he simply couldn't resist playing with his phone and surfing the web, immediately becoming a head-down user.
Looking at the terminal composed of folded chips, Li Pu felt it was exceptionally high-end.
There were only three icons on the terminal's interface.
"Communications, Holy City, Accessor?"
He clicked on them one by one. The so-called communications program was a combination of text messages, audio and video calls, and radio communications.
"What is this Holy City program?"
Just as he was about to click on Holy City, a red dot appeared on the information icon.
Turning the volume down to the minimum, Li Pu clicked on it.
"Account deposit: One million Holy City Coins" "Note: Secretly given to you, don't tell Miss [REDACTED], let me know if it's not enough."
Attached to the bottom of the message was a smiling selfie of Wolf Spider.
Her account avatar was a blood-stained white Lily.
