Yiwu and the Street Loafer

But now there's clearly a serious problem...

Upon hearing Cong Yu's meaning, they knew that he must have assumed they were representatives of China, but that was not the case.

However, thankfully, Cong Yu's current persona wasn't intimidating, so the other party immediately spoke up to explain, "No, we're not representatives."

"Actually, we just came out to find something to eat. The people in charge of making the decisions are probably still in a meeting right now..."

The magical girl, who clearly looked like the leader, sighed, "We've been in a meeting since this morning."

That's all they said.

Those kinds of things, like "taking the blame," are not really appropriate to say too clearly to an outsider like Cong Yu.

"..." However, it's already outrageous enough...

While inwardly criticizing the bureaucratic style, Cong Yu was somewhat astonished by its severity, but she didn't voice it aloud.

Even though Cong Yu knew that these magical girls also wanted to complain about this.

Cong Yu simply asked those in the know, "What were they talking about? Could you tell us?"

"..."

"..." Cong Yu was not surprised by the silence of these people, because as expected... the meeting still revolved around the kings.

Some of these issues are probably not very friendly to them, or even have a malicious intent.

But as I said before...

Just as Cong Yu is warning us now--

"Any conspiracy against a king can only achieve the level of anger or even rage he feels, nothing more."

Cong Yu spoke casually, then sighed and stood up, "And many people don't understand this principle..."

"If possible, you should go back and try to persuade that layman, or at least consult with the Xian Kui."

Without even thinking, Cong Yu knew there were laymen in the meeting, and the fact that "laymen were pointing fingers" was clearly something Xian Kui hadn't anticipated.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have confidently invited the top players... or to look at it from another angle.

It's possible that Xian Kui didn't realize at all that the kings would arrive so casually, leaving her insufficient time to prepare and receive them.

Only the Saint King issued a formal notification, which briefly informed her that she had sent a representative and the approximate departure time.

Other kings, even those who arrived in China "without realizing it"... Oh dear, this is truly a crisis.

"But there's no need to rush. It's unlikely that the Monster King will fight each other in China."

"I just hope your people don't come looking for trouble for no reason... That's what I wanted to say to you."

Cong Yu said this, he chuckled and left the table, "Treat us like ordinary tourists... and that's how you pass on the message."

"..." After Cong Yu finished speaking, Etzel called out, "Cong Yu, what kind of main dish are you eating? There's fried noodles, rice, and..."

In response, Cong Yu glanced at the menu and said, "Fried rice, please... By the way, did you exchange money beforehand?"

That's for sure; everyone has their own local currency, after all, we're all savvy and knowledgeable people.

Apart from...

Takemikazuchi: "???"

Money? What money?

As expected.

Cong Yu casually patted Takemikazuchi's head, pondering the question of whether small animals should eat at the table.

Takemikazuchi himself probably wouldn't care about this.

But as expected, it still didn't feel very good.

Thinking this, Cong Yu looked at Takemikazuchi, who was eating fermented soybean and mushroom sauce without any sauce, and simply said, "I'll pay for yours."

As she said this, Cong Yu turned her head to look at the magical girls at the table from before... only to find that they were gone.

Yeah, I guess he went there to act as a messenger and give a report.

But there's really no need to rush. It's the same to report to your superiors after you've eaten... Right now, we're basically going to work on an empty stomach.

The magical girls of China are having a tough time, just as he imagined.

Chapter 663 Yiwu and Street Slickers

Wow! That's so cheap!

Yaochuan Guang shouted happily as he enthusiastically browsed the stalls, looking for trinkets and gadgets that interested him.

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui were also seeing this for the first time – a business model where a bunch of items costing only "one yuan" were laid out for passersby to choose from.

It's quite novel, and although these little gadgets look cheap, they also have a kind of exquisite feel to them...

To put it simply, the workmanship is good.

Of course, this

There were many stalls, and most of the people browsing were tourists or foreigners.

Locals are probably used to seeing these one-dollar stalls quite often, but tourists find them rather novel.

I often find myself being held captive for several minutes at these street stalls.

Yaochuan Guang, Lantian Zhu, and Xiao Cui, two girls and a loli, are also among those who are being hardened into... They are enthusiastically selecting their favorite trinkets and gadgets in front of the stall.

Flipping through and examining them is like rediscovering childhood joy...

Yaochuan Guang has always been childlike; after all, when he first met Cong Yu, they were discussing the topic of a "secret base."

Xiao Cui is still a child, there's no doubt about that.

Lantian Zhu...

Well, as for Lantian Zhu...

Um, Lantian Zhu... she...

Well... although she used to smoke, drink, play pachinko, chew betel nuts, and gamble on horse races, she's probably still a child.

She's still young, she's still young (I'm sure of it).

"Huh? This hair tie..."

As Yaochuan Guang said this, he pointed to one of the pendants. "It feels like it matches Cong Yu- chan really well, and it's silver... iron... stainless steel."

After several changes of mind, Yaochuan Guang concluded that the material for the hair tie ornament was... stainless steel plated with silver paint.

That's already pretty good, it's only one yuan, what more could you want?

Upon hearing this, Lantian Zhu looked up directly, then his eyes widened instantly, filled with awe. "I predict, a snake!"

Then, on the spot, Lantian Zhu shuddered, his eyes rolled back, and he lay back... as if... dead!!!

That's impossible, of course.

It's just a hair tie decorated with the shape of Greedy Silver Snake Ring; Lantian Zhu wouldn't be to the point of CPDD (PTSD).

However, she also had to admit...

I feel that snakes and Cong Yu really go well together.

This made her somewhat puzzled, since Lantian Zhu herself knew she was afraid of snakes, and also knew that Cong Yu was a strange person whose prototype was a snake.

Shouldn't she herself be afraid of Cong Yu?

Lantian Zhu was caught in this dilemma.

However, almost immediately, she put it out of her mind... If all snakes were like Cong Yu, she wouldn't be afraid.

Like many people who are afraid of spiders and snakes, they enjoy reading doujinshi featuring snake girls and spider girls, and they can even use cockroach girls to "cool off."

There must be quite a few people like this...

Judging from the discerning logic of the ruthless Remnant Moon Madman, there are probably quite a few such people in this comment section... This is the confidence of a master detective.

Lantian Zhu also exhibited this symptom.

"..."

"Um?"

As Xiao Cui was picking through the trinkets, she seemed to sense something and turned to look behind her.

A familiar voice seemed to be heard in the Little Sprite's senses.

Yes, wherever Xiao Cui goes now, the first thing she does is scatter the Little Sprite as a precaution... just like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of a rope for ten years.

Although it's true that you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days, Xiao Cui is determined to try being a thief for a thousand days.

It emphasizes creating a comprehensive and inescapable network to eliminate all threats in advance.

The familiar face approaching seemed to be Dente...

Xiao Cui focused her attention on the Little Sprite that had discovered Dente, synchronizing the Little Sprite's senses with its own.

"..."

"Are you serious, Selena? Cong Yu and the King of Mongolia fought in Mongolia and leveled the mountains..."

Dente said this, followed by a shapely young nun wearing stockings... yes, a young girl.

Although she gives off an older sister vibe, with fleshy thighs and tight stockings, she is, after all, a magical girl.

To put it bluntly, it still won't go beyond the realm of teenage girls.

It's just that Westerners might develop better.

Standing next to the nun known as Selena, Dente, who was of average build, looked more like someone's child.

"Even if each attack is concentrated and focused, it can still create a giant crater like a meteorite impact... Is it really that exaggerated?"

Dente, who was raising this question, seemed to be talking to Sister Selena about something related to the Cong Yu.

Dente pondered that the Cong Yu he had met didn't seem like a terrifying, powerful being capable of destroying the world with every move. On the contrary, she seemed quite down-to-earth, kind, and easy to talk to...

Moreover, this can be seen from her previous boasting during the Dente San era, where she casually exaggerated Vampire Prince Level Vampire to King Level.

Actually, this child doesn't have a deep understanding of the concept of the King Level.

Dente is probably just tentatively considering the Monster King as an Ancient Ones Vampire, or something like that...

The strongest, the absolute strongest, can take on ten Ancient Ones by himself, at the level of Vampire Ancient Ones... but that's about it.

Dente had witnessed the Sun King effortlessly annihilate Vampire. But it was just a single "Sunshine Everywhere" that wiped out a group of Vampire.

They know it's strong, but they don't know the specifics.

Compared to Selena's description, the visual impact wasn't particularly strong, so she didn't really grasp it.

"It's true, I was almost knocked unconscious by the aftershocks."

Selena's words made Dente hesitate. "Just..."

Even with you saying that, I still don't really feel it...

As Dente was saying this, she saw a Little Sprite fly down... She had seen these things back in Wind City.

"Ah, it's Xiao Cui's spell. It seems Yaochuan Guang and the others have come too... Then, as expected, Cong Yu should be here as well."

As he said this, Dente looked at the Little Sprite, who then pointed its Little Sprite ahead into the street.

It's providing some kind of prompt.

Then, Dente looked up and saw the Wind City Squad happily browsing the street stalls in the bustling crowd.

Dente immediately pulled Selena towards that direction, clutching the Little Sprite in his hand, and shouted loudly--

"Hey! Lantian Zhu, Yaochuan Guang... and Xiao Cui! I've found your lost Little Sprite!"

Although it wasn't actually a case of getting lost, Xiao Cui didn't have any intention of correcting it...

Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu raised their heads and looked in the direction of the call, meeting Dente's gaze.

"Oh! You're here for the Myriad Immortals Ceremony too? Um... I heard from Cong Yu- chan that you're about to become Pope."

In response to Yaochuan Guang's enthusiastic question, Dente nodded proudly. "That's right, it's already been decided, I am the next Pope."
