Chapter 202 News of Martial Law, The Dragon Girl with Medicine
"Identity checks, martial law imposed!"
Hearing the shouts of the Cloud Cavalry outside, Liu Ying panicked.
After all, aside from fighting, Liuying is just a naive young girl.
"Check this area as well, so that nothing is missed."
Several Yun cavalrymen noticed the alley and were preparing to come in to inspect it.
Liu Ying subconsciously took a few steps back.
“Come with me.” At that moment, Eve grabbed Firefly’s wrist.
After the light flashed, Eve and Firefly disappeared into the alley.
"Strange? I think I just saw two figures in here?"
The Yunqi Army soldiers, who arrived a few seconds late, were somewhat bewildered.
Looking at the colorful ribbons and sequins scattered on the ground, and the doghouse not far away, he suddenly understood something.
"Could it be that it's the puppy's birthday today?!" Yunqijun suddenly felt like he had found the truth.
Suddenly, he felt a blow to the top of his head.
"Stop thinking about all that and get to work." A slightly older Yunqi soldier walked up from behind him.
"It is said that this matter is of great importance, and that the general personally gave the order."
"Moreover, I heard it's related to the plague that afflicted the ancestral homeland..." the older Yunqi soldier whispered in his ear.
"What! The plague has struck the ancestral lands!!!" the young Yunqi soldier exclaimed.
"Hush!!" The older Yunqi soldiers immediately hissed.
"Keep your voice down, this is confidential. I heard it from someone else, so don't tell anyone."
Upon hearing the older Yun cavalryman's words, the younger Yun cavalryman immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Good heavens, this matter is actually related to the plague that afflicted the ancestral home! That's a really big deal!! He's never seen anything like this in his eight lifetimes.
"It's good that you know. Get to work now, or you'll delay things and get blamed by your superiors."
The young Yunqi soldiers dared not speak, but nodded frantically and immediately joined the team checking identities.
On the other side, Liu Ying felt a dizzying sensation. When she opened her eyes again, they were no longer in the alley, but on the main street of Chang Le Tian.
"Where is this...?" Looking at the crowded street around her, Liu Ying suddenly felt a little scared.
"This must be a market," Eve said, looking around.
The surrounding roadsides were lined with vendors and bustling crowds, creating a lively scene.
Yes, it's confirmed. It should look like there will be small cakes.
Eve already had a plan in mind.
While completing the task, enjoy a small cake.
After all, she hadn't eaten it since the Black Tower Space Station.
"But, is it okay for us to just walk around on the street like this?"
Firefly looked around worriedly.
But the more lively it was, the more worried Liu Ying became.
After all, the Cloud Cavalry had already launched an investigation.
"Here, put this on first." Eve casually tossed out a white robe, clearly the same style as the one she was wearing.
"Once you put on the robe, when others look at your face, it will be shrouded in light, making it difficult for them to see clearly, so you don't have to worry about that."
"Like this..."
Liu Ying, half-believing and half-doubting, draped the robe over herself.
However, she always felt that something was off.
Others couldn't see their faces clearly, but it seemed like everyone on the street was staring at them.
Among a group of people in short sleeves and t-shirts, two people who are wrapped up tightly are obviously more suspicious!
Just as Firefly was about to say something to Eve, Eve had already vanished, leaving only a single sentence behind.
"I'll go take a look around first, then we'll meet here."
"Sigh... Well, as long as we don't get exposed, that's fine." Liu Ying shook her head helplessly.
She looked around; the bustling market seemed like a good place to gather information.
Just then, she suddenly noticed another person wearing a robe not far away, but this time a gray robe, waving at her.
"Hmm? Is someone calling me?" Liu Ying tilted her head and walked over curiously.
In front of the gray-robed man was a small table with many books on it, suggesting he was a bookseller.
It seems that because of his strange representative, hardly anyone patronized his business.
Firefly approached cautiously.
Before she could even speak, the other person said, "Miss, your aura seems familiar."
"Familiar? But this is my first time in Luofu!" Liu Ying was a little confused.
"Is this your first time visiting Luofu? Oh, you're from out of town. Would you like to take a look at this guide?"
The gray-robed man was somewhat surprised. He picked up the book on the table and handed it to Liu Ying.
"But I don't think I brought any money..." Liu Ying searched her entire body but couldn't find any credits.
They must have left in a hurry and forgotten to bring money.
"It's alright, it's fine, it's free." After saying that, the gray-robed man immediately handed the book in his hand to Liu Ying.
"I believe that after you've seen it, you'll understand and choose us." The gray-robed man suddenly packed up his stall and quickly left.
"Strange fellow?" Liu Ying looked at the guide in her hand, then at the gray-robed man who had disappeared, and silently shook her head.
However, the people at Xianzhou were quite enthusiastic, and I was just missing a guidebook to learn more about Xianzhou.
As Liu Ying walked, she flipped through the guide.
On the other side, Eve strolled down the street.
This place seems similar to Liyue in Teyvat, filled with ancient Chinese culture and architecture.
Eve looked around, finding many novel and quirky little objects quite interesting.
"Perfect timing, let's decide on the local specialties first." Eve thought for a moment, then decided to deal with the specialties for the little rabbit first.
To avoid a situation like the one where credits were unusable in Belleburg last time, Eve confirmed beforehand that credits could indeed be used here.
Eve was completely relieved; she still had the 5 credits Himeko had given her last time!
After browsing around for a while, Eve came to a stall selling handicrafts and immediately took a liking to a Luban lock.
These educational toys are perfect for little rabbits.
"Boss, how many credits does this cost?" Eve asked, pointing to the Luban lock.
"Hey, beautiful lady, you've come to the right place today! The hottest mechanical item this year, the Luban Lock, is now available for only 1999 credits. Don't miss this opportunity!" The shopkeeper's mouth was like a machine gun, spewing out messages like a stand-up comedian.
"This price is reasonable..." After thinking for a while, Eve decisively made the purchase.
"And this one, this one, these are all extremely popular. Taking these out will definitely make you look very prestigious..."
With the boss speaking in a comedic accent, Eve soon found herself carrying several bags, all filled with handmade items.
"Specialty items for the little rabbit, all done!" Eve snapped her fingers with great satisfaction.
The toys here in Luofu are quite unique; I think the little rabbit will be very happy.
I counted my credits and found I had about 3 left, enough to buy myself a small cake and another one for Yingbao.
Having made her decision, Eve headed straight for Louvre's pastry shop.
After asking around, Eve learned that the pastry shop seemed to be on the other side of the street, and that there seemed to be Cloud Cavalry inspecting it.
Eve shouldn't have gone, just to be on the safe side, but it was no big deal for the little cake.
Little cake, she's here!!!
.................................................. ............................
Changletian, East Street.
Eve, dressed in a white robe and carrying a bag, walked down the street.
The atmosphere here is quite different from what it was just now.
Perhaps because of the Yunqi Army's inspection, the place wasn't very lively. The vendors weren't even shouting their wares, and the number of people was significantly reduced.
"Verify identity without error."
Eve raised her head and looked ahead.
A fully armed cavalry unit came into view, guarding the checkpoint and advancing step by step, checking the identity of everyone.
"This is a bit troublesome..."
Eve frowned slightly, preparing to dodge, when suddenly a small creature darted out from the crowd in front of her.
Eve wasn't paying attention and was bumped right into, both of them falling to the ground, their bags dropping.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I rushed in too fast..."
Eve looked up and saw a little one lying in her arms.
The little girl has dark blue hair with a pair of dragon horns on top, and two long, tied pigtails at the back. She also has pointed ears and blue eyes.
"Dragon horns?" Eve glanced at the horns on the little girl's head.
"Big sister, I'm so sorry. I wouldn't have bumped into you if I wasn't worried about being caught and taken back." Bai Lu immediately climbed off Eve.
"Take them back? Where are you from? Where's your father?" Eve got up, dusted herself off, and picked up the scattered bags.
"I don't have a father," Bai Lu said very seriously.
"This... I'm sorry, but what about your mother?" Eve suddenly felt a little guilty.
Such a young child has lost his father.
“I don’t have a mother either,” Bai Lu continued.
“This…” Eve was speechless for a moment, and felt even more guilty.
Is this an orphan? I feel so inhuman... Wait, I think I'm a tree.
"I understand. You all think I must be a kid who secretly ran away from home because I'm small." Bai Lu noticed Eve's speechlessness, so she put her hands on her hips and said smugly.
"Hmph, this is a celestial vessel! Don't judge a book by its cover, little sister from the short-lived race! Our Vidyadhara clan is self-sufficient in reincarnation and doesn't need any parents!"
"A short-lived species? A little sister?" Eve looked at the little girl in front of her and immediately became interested.
He looks so cool, it's kind of funny.
"Who's the little sister? That's still uncertain," Eve said with a slight smile.
"Hmph, this dragon girl is 300 years old, isn't that making me the eldest sister?" Bai Lu put her hands on her hips, still acting arrogantly.
"Really? Only 300 years old? Then you can call me big sister, little sister." Eve's lips curled up slightly.
"Eh? You, how old are you...?" Bai Lu immediately took a step back timidly.
"That's about 20 times yours," Eve said after thinking for a moment.
"20 times...that's 6000 years old?" Bai Lu counted on her fingers.
"How could that be? You're lying!!"
Bai Lu looked at Eve and took a few steps back in fear.
"Even the immortal beings of the Immortal Ship can only live up to 1000 years old, and at 800 years old, they will develop a demonic form..."
"Who, who exactly are you?" Bai Lu stared intently at Eve, her whole body trembling slightly.
Suddenly, Eve lifted her hood, raised both hands, and made a funny face.
"That's right, I am the Demonic Yin Body, whoosh!!"
"Ahhh..." Bai Lu was so frightened that she turned around and lay on the ground, only her little dragon tail swaying back and forth.
“Hahahaha…” Eve burst into laughter.
Upon hearing Eve's laughter, Bai Lu immediately realized she had been rejected and stood up angrily.
"If you are not a demonic being, then who are you?"
Bai Lu looked closely at Eve's face. She couldn't see it clearly before because of the hood, but now that she looked closely, her face was very beautiful, fair and flawless, and made people feel lightheaded at first glance.
Hmm, such a beautiful face couldn't possibly be a demonic being!
"I am indeed not a demonic being, nor am I some kind of immortal being," Eve said seriously.
"Not an immortal species? Then how can it live to be 6000 years old?" Bai Lu asked, sucking on her finger.
"Maybe it's just because I'm a tree, and I happen to be able to survive," Eve said after thinking for a moment.
"A tree?" Bai Lu was once again baffled.
This older sister is so strange! She always says things that I don't understand.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance.
A new cavalry force quickly arrived.
"According to the report from the Dan Ding Division, the Dragon Girl carrying medicine has slipped away again. We are now under full martial law and must find her as soon as possible."
"Yes."
"The Dragon Girl with Medicine in Her Hands?" Upon hearing Yunqijun's words, Eve looked down at the little one below and immediately understood.
The so-called "Dragon Girl with Medicine in Her Hands" must be her.
Seeing that the Cloud Cavalry was about to arrive, Bai Lu immediately panicked.
"Big sister, quick, come this way with me!!" Bai Lu grabbed Eve's hand and quickly ran to the side.
Eve immediately followed in Bai Lu's footsteps.
After all, it wouldn't be a good thing to run into the Cloud Cavalry at this time. It would be better to see what this Little Dragon Girl is planning to do first.
