Chapter 248 Are You Envious?
The island where Ding Jiayi's city-state is located is not particularly large, and the other city-state is not far away. People from other provinces didn't know about this, so some people from that city-state came here out of curiosity.
By the time they walked back to the city-state, Lu Jiu's clothes were already dry. The sea breeze in Anshao Province was like a hair dryer.
As soon as she entered the city, many eyes were cast at her. Lu Jiu's hands froze as she was adjusting her clothes. How many people had come?
Someone immediately stepped forward with a bright smile. Because the skin color had darkened, the smile allowed one to clearly see the other person's white teeth.
The boy acted very familiarly, "You two are from other provinces, right?"
Shen Jufeng stood in front of Lu Jiu and nodded slightly, "We are from Long Province."
The boy turned around and made a face at his companions before turning back. "I can tell at a glance. Standing with everyone else, only the two of you are practically glowing white."
Lu Jiu covered his mouth with both hands to prevent himself from laughing out loud. This was really a conspicuous sign.
The young man tilted his head and saw Lu Jiu behind Shen Jufeng. He walked around Shen Jufeng and extended his hand to her, "My name is Jiao Fan, from Shanhe City next door."
Seeing the two hands clasped together, Shen Jufeng frowned, "Are you also here to ask about the situation in Long Province?"
Jiao Fan then let go of Lu Jiu's hand. "Yes, this is the first time in such a long time that I've seen people from other provinces coming here. I thought the whole world was isolated."
Ding Jiayi also came over and said, "Then let's go to the restaurant and talk slowly. It's your treat."
Jiao Fan nodded and said, "Let's go."
·
The group went to the restaurant. This time, Lu Jiu took out some of the ingredients he had brought with him and gave them to the manager, asking him to help cook.
Jiao Fan was standing next to her. "Isn't the area in Long Province all seawater like here?"
Lu Jiu: "No, it's just covered in forests. All you see on this side is sea water, and all you see on the other side is trees."
Jiao Fan: "So you guys deal with wild monsters on the ground, right?"
Lu Jiu: "There are also flying ones, and if you want to fight more easily, you need wings. You should have wings here."
Jiao Fan touched his nose and said, "Yes, I do, but I don't use it often. Sometimes I'm worried that if I go to the deep sea, a giant monster will jump out from the bottom of the sea."
Lu Jiu was curious about this. "A huge monster? But wild monsters are usually quite large."
Jiao Fan thought of a wild monster he had encountered before. "Oh, I encountered one before, but it was a shark-like boss monster. I had just customized a pair of wings and wanted to try them out, and then the boss emerged from the seabed and almost swallowed me whole."
Lu Jiu was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly. She had a slight fear of the deep sea.
They were worried that unknown sea creatures would suddenly jump out from the seabed, or that their huge bodies were lurking below the sea level and watching them.
"That's really scary. We rarely get attacked unless the monsters have similar skin and surroundings."
Jiao Fan: "That's not easy either. We also have to deal with the monsters flying in the sky."
Lu Jiu: "Then you should be able to use wings or mounts to travel to other city-states or provinces. I thought some people had already traveled across provinces."
After all, there are several such people in her city-state. Lin Zuo and others have already left Xuantian City and headed for Yanjing in the north.
Jiao Fan sighed, "We do want to do this, but we don't know when the next beast tide will appear. We've lived in the city-state for a long time and have developed feelings for it. Although we yearn for the outside world, we still have to protect the city-state. And who knows if there will be stronger monsters outside. With this in mind, not many people want to leave the province."
Lu Jiu understood this situation. This was probably the case in their city-state. Not many people thought of leaving the province, unless their family members were in other provinces.
"As people learn more about the situation, they will definitely want to go out and see the world. Then it won't be surprising to leave the province."
The two of them had a pleasant conversation. Shen Jufeng, who was standing on the second floor, watched all this silently, while Ding Jiayi observed silently. In her opinion, the relationship between these two was quite worth exploring.
Jiao Fan almost cried after eating familiar food after a long time.
Lu Jiu is still very interested in dried shrimps.
Jiao Fan also knew that they wanted to go to other city-states, so he said something similar to Ding Jiayi, "Try to avoid Huajiang City. There are more crazy people there."
Lu Jiu was confused. Why was he crazy again? "Can I ask what's going on? Why do people there bully ordinary residents?"
Jiao Fan's face was filled with disdain when he talked about Huajiang City. "It's more than that. They're just a bunch of rabble-rousers. Those who can't stand it have left. To put it simply, they're a bunch of wannabe local tyrants. Their greed has grown to a point where it's inflated."
Then something occurred to him, "Especially a beautiful girl like you, you should stay away from there."
At this point, she could probably guess what kind of people were there. "Okay."
After Jiao Fan swallowed his meal, he looked at Shen Jufeng again, "Mr. Su should also be careful, there are some bastards who are not particular about gender."
Lu Jiu almost choked himself. Shen Jufeng raised his eyes and said, "Thank you for your reminder." But his tone was flat and he didn't sound very grateful.
·
Jiao Fan is a professional resident of Shanhe City and the captain of a strong team in the city.
This conversation with Lu Jiu was very pleasant. We became friends and traded some supplies.
Lu Jiu bought wings from him. These wings are a bit like fish fins, which can allow one to fly in the sky. If used in the sea, they can increase agility, allowing one to move flexibly in the water like a fish.
These wings don't only appear on the back. For example, the pair she bought will have fins appear on the forearms after use.
She looked at what seemed to be a new growth and stretched it out in front of Shen Jufeng to show him, "Look, this fin doesn't look ugly. We'll go into the sea later to test the effect. Do you want to buy one too?"
Shen Jufeng reached out and touched the fish fin. It didn't feel sticky, but rather soft. "Let's wait until tomorrow. Forget about today. We'll leave tomorrow after we finish buying it."
Lu Jiu carefully observed his new wings and nodded, "All as you wish."
As if he had held back his excitement, Shen Jufeng suddenly asked, "Do you like the guy named Jiao Fan today?"
Lu Jiu raised an eyebrow, "Why do you ask that?"
Shen Jufeng still looked calm and composed, "It seems like you two are getting along well."
Lu Jiu folded her wings, crossed her arms, and began to comment, "Jiao Fan is very familiar, but not offensive. It can be considered a social talent. I can't say I like him, but if I can hear interesting things from him, I am certainly willing to chat with him."
Shen Jufeng: “…”
Lu Jiu looked him up and down. "Why are you asking this? We just got here, so he wouldn't want to find out anything from me. But, no girls have ever approached you since you came here."
Shen Jufeng's face turned cold, "Go to sleep."
Lu Jiu was still nagging behind him, "Don't be like that, it's normal that girls don't dare to approach you because you have such a strong aura. I will also be careful not to say anything else to the people here."
Shen Jufeng ignored her, went to his room, opened the door and closed it immediately.
Lu Jiu was disappointed and said, "Hey, I was just joking."
