Dragon Raja: History Simulator

Her almond-shaped eyes, which always held a gentle, watery glow, were now wide open, filled with disbelief and astonishment.

The tray shook violently in her hands, the cups clinked together with a crisp sound, and a few drops of scalding tea splashed out and landed on the back of her hand, but she didn't even notice.

What did she see?

The girl Xia Mi, who always seemed somewhat aloof and mysterious, was now pressed tightly against Wang Anzhi, their bodies almost intertwined. Xia Mi's hands were wrapped around the back of Wang Anzhi's neck, and their lips... were locked in a passionate kiss.

Wang Anzhi had his back to the door, so she couldn't see the expression on his face, but Bai Zhouyue didn't need to look to know that he was definitely enjoying himself.

What kind of reaction would a man have when faced with a kiss from a stunningly beautiful enchantress?

Bai Zhouyue needs no further explanation.

Her cheeks turned deathly pale instantly, followed by a flush of embarrassment. It felt as if all the blood had rushed to her head, making her dizzy.

The girl in the small boat subconsciously took half a step back, her steps faltering slightly, and bumped into the door frame with a soft "thump".

The pain in her head seemed to snap her out of her shock. She hurriedly lowered her head, her gaze unfocused, staring intently at the swaying of her skirt. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, so loudly she suspected the whole room could hear it.

Unable to go forward or backward, she stood frozen at the doorway, holding her breath.

After a long while, Bai Zhouyue looked at the two of them with a bitter expression. She casually placed the tray she was holding on the table, half of the tea on it was spilled. Fortunately, the dessert she had made herself was intact, but it looked quite tasteless to Xiao Zhouyue.

She listlessly finished saying what she hadn't said before:

“…Miss Xia, I’m here to bring you desserts and tea.”

Wang Anzhi noticed the commotion at the door from the very beginning.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Xia Mi used even more forceful strength to drag him back into her arms, and Wang Anzhi was powerless to do anything about it.

Wang Anzhi cursed Constantine inwardly, realizing that his power had been outmatched by Jormungandr.

And so, until Bai Zhouyue happily opened the door and absentmindedly placed the tray on the table, the two adulterers in her eyes did not let go.

Only when Xia Mi saw that the little boat girl in front of her had tears in her eyes and seemed about to cry did she release Wang Anzhi with satisfaction, and added a sentence.

"It tastes amazing."

Chapter 208 See you in autumn

Go against Tiangang.

This is truly going against the natural order.

Looking at Xia Mi's smug smile, Wang Anzhi trembled with anger. "A hen crowing at dawn, what kind of behavior is this?"

Immediately, he wanted to turn around and explain to the girl in the small boat what he probably, maybe, still had that thing called "innocence".

However, Xia Mi was one step faster.

She released her hand almost simultaneously, taking a natural half-step back, as if she hadn't been the one who had just offered the kiss.

She raised her hand and casually brushed her fingertips across the corner of her lips, where they seemed to still have a slight sheen.

Then, she turned to Bai Zhouyue, who was standing frozen at the door. Instead of feeling embarrassed or panicked at being caught, she smiled brightly with a hint of mockery.

"Oh, it's Miss Xiaozhou," her voice returned to its usual clear tone, even with a touch more languid than usual, "Why didn't you knock before coming in? Look how shy you are, your face is all red."

She tilted her head, her gaze like a small hook, looking up and down at the bewildered Bai Zhouyue with great magnanimity.

"But young girls will see a lot more of this when they grow up."

"I've grown up."

Bai Zhouyue mustered her courage and said, "I am already 18 years old."

"18 years old?" Xia Mi tilted her head and sighed. "That is indeed a bit old."

As she spoke, she walked lightly toward Bai Zhouyue, as if the incident from earlier had never happened.

Xia Mi's gaze fell on the tray that was still wobbling slightly in Bai Zhouyue's hands, and on the spilled tea stains. She chuckled softly, "How thoughtful. But next time, perhaps you could wait a little while before coming in?"

The dragon girl's words were loaded with meaning, her tone full of teasing, as if she were saying that Bai Zhouyue had interrupted something good, yet she couldn't pinpoint any obvious mistake.

The young girl was made even more embarrassed by her unexpected teasing. She lowered her head even further, her ears turned bright red, and she stammered, not knowing how to respond.

"We accept the tea and snacks. Thank you for your trouble, Miss Xiaozhou."

Xia Mi smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream, her eyes sweeping over Bai Zhouyue, then glancing at the silent Wang Anzhi behind her. "Young Master Wang, don't you think so?"

She casually tossed the question away, as if everything was under her control. The girl who had just momentarily shown weakness and made a surprising move had been perfectly concealed by her.

Then, Xia Mi seemingly unintentionally added:

"Perfect timing, we're leaving too?"

"Are you leaving now?" Bai Zhouyue asked anxiously.

She still had some hope for Wang Anzhi here, but if he left, wouldn't she just have to watch helplessly as this wicked woman took him away from her?

Bai Zhouyue was truly unwilling.

Xia Mi nodded with a smile, "That's right. The railway and air routes will probably open tomorrow. We have tickets for tomorrow. We'll go to Xiangyang first to see Patriarch Zhou, and then..."

She glanced at Wang Anzhi and said thoughtfully, "We might go to Japan for our honeymoon."

"Lord Nuwa." Bai Zhouyue murmured softly. If she had the power of Lord Nuwa, she probably wouldn't have had to watch Prince Wang leave like this.

She deliberately ignored Xia Mi's mention of a "honeymoon trip" to Japan, forcibly brainwashing herself into believing that this was all the witch's way of trying to anger her.

Xia Mi nodded, looking quite troubled. "That's right, the King of Bronze and Fire has gone missing. We have to report this to the Goddess Nuwa."

"And then?" Bai Zhouyue asked again.

Xia Mi asked curiously, "Is the Bai family so carefree? If I remember correctly, one of your family heads just died, and he was turned into a corpse guardian, which suggests he may have made a deal with the Dragon King."

The Dragon Girl counted on her fingers and said with ill intent:

"In fact, you just depleted an ammunition depot that was roughly equivalent to a small-scale war. The concentration of gunpowder in the air could be smelled from several kilometers away, not to mention that your Bai family compound is located on the outskirts of Chengdu."

She said with a smile, "I estimate that government officials will come to inquire about the matter before dawn. With such a big commotion, as far as I know, it's impossible for no one to take charge."

As she spoke, Xia Mi couldn't help but mutter to herself that when she first woke up, the place where she had been sleeping had changed from a military stronghold to an alley.

At that time, she didn't know much about modern society and almost got discovered.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and not only successfully evaded the official search by using her historical experience, but also successfully obtained an "identity" in a mixed-race society.

Bai Zhouyue bit her lip, remembering how her brother couldn't even find peace after death, and didn't even have a burial place. She said softly:

"These things have nothing to do with me. The elders in the clan and Mr. Qin can handle them themselves. I don't need to get involved."

Xia Mi nodded, then asked with some curiosity:

"So, we don't need to arrange marriages now? I've heard that large families like yours often do these kinds of marriages."

Bai Zhouyue glanced at Wang Anzhi, her face flushing slightly. "The premise of a marriage alliance is to have a backbone to establish the family's future goals, and to see who can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, just like my eldest sister."

The girl recalled, "She and I, and my brother, didn't get along well because my brother forced her to marry the head of the Chen family, that old geezer."

My eldest sister resented my brother for this incident her whole life. She refused to give a eulogy at his funeral and didn't want to come back to see him.

They hate me because of me.

As she spoke, Bai Zhouyue's voice dimmed, "But I can actually understand her. Her husband is twenty years older than her and has countless illegitimate children, yet he and my eldest sister don't have a single child."

The eldest sister said that this was because the Chen family head was too hypocritical; he wanted the Bai family's support but didn't want them to use it as an excuse to interfere in his family affairs.

The young girl sighed softly, "Eldest sister... is also a very pitiful person."

As she spoke, she glanced furtively at Wang Anzhi and whispered:

“Now, someone like me has no value in marriage alliances, and I can also enjoy some very precious freedom. I plan to go to Kassel College in the fall.”

Xia Mi remained noncommittal and looked at Wang Anzhi.

Wang Anzhi's lips twitched slightly, sensing the arrival of a chaotic battlefield he had never encountered before.

He walked over to Bai Zhouyue, took a sip of the tea she had poured for him; it was still warm and had a pleasant fragrance.

"It's delicious, thank you, Miss Xiaozhou."

Wang Anzhi looked at Bai Zhouyue, whose brows were slightly dimmed, and smiled:

See you in the fall.

Xia Mi curled her lips.

Bai Zhouyue parted her lips slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

Chapter 209 If I set foot in Tokyo in the future

Xiangyang.

As the sky turned bluish-gray, a light rain began to fall.

Nuwa, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked along the path. Looking at Wang Anzhi's dark eyes, which were slightly tired but still bright, she softly said:

"came back?"

"came back."

Suddenly, Wang Anzhi felt a tremor in his heart. Looking at the girl in the blue dress in front of him, the softness deep in his heart was suddenly touched, so much so that he lost the ability to speak and could only reply with similar words.

"What about that girl? I remember she loved being by your side the most," Nuwa said calmly, as if she still had no emotion.

However, Wang Anzhi keenly sensed the emotions involved, and he cautiously said:

"Xia Mi said she wants to pack her luggage properly for her trip to Japan; she wants to make a travel plan."

With the reopening of railways and air routes, the journey from Chengdu to Xiangyang has become very short. "A thousand miles to Xiangyang can be reached in a day," as the saying goes. This was true in ancient times, and it is even more so today.

The Dragon Girl did not like to see Nuwa, so when she learned that Wang Anzhi was coming to tell Nuwa about his trip to Sichuan, she jokingly said, "Go see your good sister."

Then left.

Wang Anzhi himself couldn't explain why. He looked at Nuwa's lower body, which was covered by her dragging skirt and trousers, and her upper body, which had the air of an ancient lady.

He thought to himself that it might be because Nuwa was superior to the ever-competitive Little Dragon Girl not only in the aspect of "dragons," but also in the aspect of "humans."

Thousands of years have passed, and Wang Anzhi still doesn't know what the goddesses Ba, Yin Lihua, and now Nuwa have gone through.

After experiencing Constantine's "elixir of immortality" and the "example" of Shao Nanqin, Wang Anzhi had to admit that the so-called immortality was real.
