I thought I had soul-shifted but my combat power wasn't impressive at all. Later I realized this was just a glitch from a Time Travel Bureau, I soul-shifted into the year 2020 with some of my m...
I made a fuss in the bathroom for a while before I finally finished showering and came out.
I sat on the sofa with a dry towel, drying my hair and looking down at the sea. The more I looked, the better I felt.
Xie Yuancheng leaned against the back of my neck from behind the sofa and smelled the fragrance: "Ying'er can run so fast now, she couldn't even get up before."
"Hey, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't be friends with you next time."
Xie Yuancheng took a dry cloth and wiped me: "I'll dry you off, so please don't ignore me."
"You're smart to know what's good for you." He was just flirting with me, how could I not run fast!
This is truly a vacation spot, with beautiful scenery both day and night. However, staying on the sea for too long isn't good either. Luckily, we were in another dimension, or we would have gotten tanned to a crisp.
Every time I go out with Xie Yuancheng, looking at the people walking by, I feel like the Bao Gong they're talking about is only darkened by the sun.
Xie Yuancheng has now completely fallen in love with his electric scooter and uses it for transportation every time he goes out.
We had just returned from a stroll outside when the shopkeeper got out of the car and said he would be hosting a farewell dinner for us that evening.
"Great, I can see the whole ocean view now."
The shopkeeper was taken aback: "What sea view are you looking at?"
“Master, Ying’er always wants to see the night view of the sea. I was worried about the safety of going out, so I lied to her.”
No wonder Xie Yuancheng always said he would see it when I asked him; it turns out that bastard was already plotting against me.
The shopkeeper nodded: "I understand. Fortunately, this little airplane has a transparent part, so I'll open it up for you to see later."
"Really? Master is more reliable."
I grabbed Xie Yuancheng's arm: "Little liar and big bastard."
"Ying'er, it hurts when you pinch me."
Xie Yuancheng is now resorting to dishonest means, which is completely out of character for the domineering and cunning Marquis.
The shopkeeper led us around a place where time and space were illuminated. Xie Yuancheng and I had never been here before, and we immediately felt a great deal of pressure as soon as we entered.
The shopkeeper opened a door, and we followed him inside. The room was decorated like something out of outer space. As soon as the door closed, Xie Yuancheng and I felt weightless. Luckily, there was a pole in front of us, and Xie Yuancheng pulled me down to float away.
When we arrived at our destination, the seatbelts extended as soon as we sat down, preventing us from floating up.
Xie Yuancheng rarely showed such a surprised expression: "Master, you don't come here often, do you?"
"I don't come here often, but this place is the closest to the portal, so I come here to sit for a while when I have nothing to do."
I'm worried about what will happen to the dishes later; will they float away?
However, I was overthinking it, because with a huge transparent dome around us, it was clearly just like being in a normal room.
The way the food is served here is quite unique; it spirals down from the top in circles. I was wondering if they did it this way because the food didn't taste good. But after taking a bite of the ice cream pudding, I immediately dismissed that thought.
The desserts here are so delicious, not to mention the other dishes.
"Shopkeeper, there are restaurants in this time-travel world too?"
"Yes, it's very similar to Dazhao. There are people from various parallel universes there. If you're interested, I can take you there when I go to Dazhao."
I quickly waved my hand: "Let's forget about it now, we have a lot of things to do when we get back."
My poor Yu'er, your mother has gone back home, but I can't hug you.
"I know, but the crisis is temporary. You can come to me when you feel bored with life."
I didn't know what to say, I just stared at Xie Yuancheng, thankfully he reacted quickly.
“Master, I’ve got it.”
"Yes, don't worry. Occasionally going on a time-travel trip with me won't cause any problems. It can even prolong your life and keep you young forever."
"What, eternal youth?" I think the shopkeeper could sell medicine: "Shopkeeper, if you opened a shop, a lot of women would go bankrupt to buy from you."
"I'm not one of those charlatans who scam money; opening a shop would be a waste of my talent."
Xie Yuancheng and I nodded and smiled at each other. The shopkeeper was so narcissistic.
Another dish arrived, and I held the fork and cut it into small pieces with the knife. I took a bite, and it melted in my mouth.
"What is this? It's delicious, soft and fragrant."
The shopkeeper explained from the side: "This is foie gras. Although the process is not very humane, the taste is really exceptional. I only eat it occasionally, and every time I eat it, I feel both guilty and happy."
Xie Yuancheng told me the story of foie gras, and it did sound very similar to the shopkeeper's description.
The shopkeeper ordered another dish, and when I saw that the presentation was even more beautiful than the real thing, I instantly became interested.
"Yuancheng, if you retire with me in the future, I will definitely cook good food for you."
Xie Yuancheng placed a piece of roast goose on my plate: "I think it's better not to retire into seclusion. Our family can stay here in the mansion."
"Are you complaining again that I've made a mess of the kitchen?"
"Ying'er, how could I think that way? It's just that you should save your cooking skills for later, so I can let you cook again when I can't cook anymore."
"Huh? I'd be a fool to believe you."
I added some extra spicy chili sauce to Xie Yuancheng's plate, and as soon as he took a bite, his face turned bright red.
"Serves you right for being careless. Now you know how spicy it is, huh?"
Seeing his face turn red, I felt sorry for him and shook him a cup of fruit milk tea to relieve the spiciness.
"Ying'er, if you give me chili sauce again, I'm going to lose my sense of taste."
"Okay, I won't give you any next time."
Seeing that I admitted my mistake quickly, Xie Yuancheng didn't lecture me much. The shopkeeper even joined in the commotion, and the meal was very enjoyable.
After everything on the table was removed, the transparent cover was opened, and the feeling of weightlessness returned.
Xie Yuancheng held my hand tightly as we floated away. This really isn't a place to stay for long. We just finished eating and we're already floating away. This must be what it's like to be an immortal.
As soon as we closed the door, we were finally able to stand on solid ground.
The shopkeeper led us for a short walk, then we went to the place where the small planes were parked. As soon as we sat down, the planes slowly took off.
It was sunset, so I saw the sun and the sea blending together, which was even more beautiful than described in books.
"Ying'er, that's where we used to stay." Xie Yuancheng pointed out the location of the sea-view room to me. It looked so small from here.
All the doors of the small plane were closed, and the cabin was very quiet. I held Xie Yuancheng's hand tightly. After flying for a while, the cabin next to me floated upwards, with a layer of glass on the outside.
It's completely dark now, so the sea looks pitch black, but there are scattered lights near the houses and lighthouse. The lights are on in those houses, and the night is especially peaceful.
I exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
Xie Yuancheng also chimed in: "It is very beautiful, but the crime rate on this island is quite high."
"I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'm already very satisfied to see that."
Xie Yuancheng looked at me and smiled. He rested his hands on the side of his seat, and his eyes were as captivating as the stars on the sea.
