Kyoto, top floor of the Yugong Tower.
After putting on her scarlet shrine maiden outfit and purple wig, Amamiya Nisho, while applying red contact lenses to the mirror, said in a deep voice, "Ruri-nee, I've arranged everything for you. We'll be flying directly from Kyoto to Jiangcheng Airport in China."
"Although I don't know why you want to go to Jiangcheng, since it's your biggest wish before marriage, I'll do everything I can to help you fulfill it!"
Looking at her younger brother who was getting dressed up, Ruri Amamiya was lost in thought. Last night at the Amamiya Shrine, she had expressed her "last wish" to go to Jiangcheng, China. Who would have thought that her brother would immediately start making arrangements?
As a priestess of the Yugong Family, she was strictly forbidden from going out. So her younger brother came up with a plan to "swap identities." She would disguise herself as her younger brother, Yugong Nishang, and go out, while her younger brother would disguise himself as her and stay at home!
" Sister Liuli, this is your first time going abroad. To be honest, I'm terrified. But I have friends in Jiangcheng, and they're reliable. If anything unexpected happens, just call them!"
Yugong Nishang stuffed the contact book into Yugong Liuli's arms. To ensure his sister's safety in Jiangcheng, he disregarded the rules of the Imperial Crown Team and privately inquired about the cities where other core members were located.
You wouldn't believe it until you asked!
Apart from Chou Ox, who did not respond, all seven core members of the Imperial Crown, including Yujingzi, Huranlang, and Jueying, were actually living in Jiangcheng.
So, I gave them a heads-up beforehand, cutting out the details and concealing my sister Liuli's identity. I only said that a relative of mine was going to Jiangcheng for a trip and that if they encountered any trouble, I hoped they could lend a hand!
Yujingzi and the others readily agreed.
" Sister Liuli, I hope you can fulfill your wishes on this trip to Jiangcheng and leave without any regrets!"
Yugong Liuli's eyes glistened with tears, deeply moved.
[ Nishang, I really don't know how to thank you enough]
Yugong Nishang smiled and said, "We're like siblings, bound by blood. Saying thank you is too formal."
At this moment.
The driver's voice came from outside the door.
"Young Master, it's time to visit the Priestess."
"Okay, I understand."
Yugong Nishang quickly took out clothes from her suitcase and urged, " Sister Liuli, time is of the essence, hurry up and go to the bedroom to change your clothes."
[good]
Ten minutes later.
" Sister Liuli, please be careful."
[ Nishang, you too, your sister will be back soon]
Yugong Liuli disguised herself as her younger brother and left the room that had confined her for eighteen years. Unlike her unplanned escape when she was eight, this time she had her younger brother Nishang, to help her and arrange everything.
She left the Yugong Tower without incident, got into a taxi without incident, and arrived at Kyoto International Airport without incident. It wasn't until she boarded the international flight to Jiangcheng that she finally realized she was leaving the country where she had lived for eighteen years.
Looking down at the night-shrouded landscape through the airplane window, the once endless neon-lit buildings had transformed into colorful stripes and spots, appearing both unfamiliar and insignificant, and a sense of unease inexplicably arose in my heart.
She suddenly didn't want to go to Jiangcheng anymore.
She wanted to get off the plane immediately, take a taxi back, and return to the Yugong Tower, to the room that had confined her for eighteen years.
The fact that she and her younger brother switched identities will be discovered by the family sooner or later. When that happens, her brother will definitely be severely punished by their parents, especially their extremely angry father, who might even draw a knife and injure him.
It's not too late to turn back now. As long as she goes back to the room where she's been trapped for eighteen years, her brother won't be punished, her parents won't be angry, and everyone will be at peace.
Can.
This was her last chance to see the former Imperial Emperor, and even if the probability was only one in a million, she wanted to try.
She wasn't a brave person, but when it came to meeting her seniors, she wanted to be brave just this once!
Ladies and gentlemen, our plane has landed at [ Jiangcheng International Airport ]. The moon sets, crows cry, frost covers the sky; river maples and fishing lights reflect the sorrowful nights. Beautiful Jiangcheng welcomes you.
The arrival announcement sounded.
"We've arrived at our destination."
Yugong Liuli's face was full of anxiety. She dragged her Doraemon- themed suitcase and followed the crowded passengers off the plane. Everything around her, both people and objects, was completely unfamiliar.
Bang.
Suddenly, someone bumped into my shoulder hard.
"Maleg, can't you watch where you're going?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Like a frightened little animal, Yugong Liuli quickly bowed and apologized. Only after the bloated man in sunglasses disappeared from the airport exit did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Walking close to the wall should prevent you from bumping into anyone."
Thinking this, Yugong Liuli pulled her suitcase close to the wall of the adjacent passageway. She hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, her eyes under her bangs revealing a nervous look, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for others.
"Holy crap! Do you even know how to walk?"
As if by reflex, Yugong Liuli immediately began bowing frantically towards the source of the sound, apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Passengers around them cast strange glances their way.
"Get out of my way! You're blocking my way!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Who told you to come to Jiangcheng? Didn't I tell you not to come? What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
"Can you please get out of Jiangcheng?"
"Sorry..."
Yugong Liuli's apologies grew softer and softer. Her face flushed with shame. Leaning against the wall, she slowly squatted down, using Doraemon's suitcase to cover herself, hoping not to cause trouble for others.
Because of her predecessor Imperial Emperor, she really liked the city of Jiangcheng, but Jiangcheng didn't seem to like her back.
It all feels like I've gone back to the time I ran away when I was eight.
She stood alone on the highway, cars honking wildly in front of her, drivers rolling down their windows and yelling, "Idiot! Whose kid is this? Can't you see where you're going? Don't you know the traffic rules: stop at red lights and go at green lights?"
She genuinely didn't know the traffic rule about stopping at red lights because no one had taught her, but she knew she had caused trouble for others.
Yugong Liuli bit her lip, turned her head to look at the airport exit that was just a stone's throw away, her heart filled with unknown fear. She was afraid that her lack of common sense would cause trouble for others.
but!
She wants to see her senior!
You might run into your senior when you step out of the airport.
With that thought in mind, Yugong Liuli got up, grabbed her suitcase, and walked towards the exit. She swiped her card to open the exit gate, and just as she was about to reach the airport exit, a large group of people suddenly surrounded her.
"Miss, where are you going?"
"Going to Jiangbei District? Miss, my car is super cheap, only 20 yuan. If you want to go, I'll give you a discount!"
"Hey sis, wanna go home? We're one short for a game of mahjong in my car."
A cacophony of voices soliciting customers filled the air.
Yugong Liuli had never seen such a grand occasion before. Her face immediately turned bright red, and she stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, "I... I'm sorry, I'm not going."
"Wow, the fare is so cheap!"
"Is your dad here to pick you up? Come with me, he's in my car."
"Come on, little sister, let me get your suitcase for you."
Yugong Liuli's eyes were filled with panic as she watched the men closing in, her heart pounding in her chest.
Anyone is fine!
Someone, please help me!
Yugong Liuli fell into despair.
Sudden!
Just then.
A long, slender, fair hand reached out from the crowd, firmly grasped her right wrist, and pulled her out of the crowd.
"Huh?"
