Chapter 73 Returning Home
"Have you rested well?"
Early in the morning, a rather impolite young woman opened the window and peeked in. With her eyes closed, she turned her head this way and that, her body like an upside-down owl, and her voice was loud and clear, "I'm going to open my eyes."
Chen Wangping and Duoma had actually woken up a long time ago. The common people in this world had no entertainment to speak of, and basically went to bed as soon as night fell. What's more, their experience yesterday was so thrilling that they couldn't stay up all night, especially Chen Wangping. She was always worried about oversleeping, so she would often struggle to wake up not long after falling asleep, and then go back to sleep when she saw it was dark outside. She repeated this several times and finally made it to dawn.
Seeing the girl arrive as promised, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, you can look at it as you like."
Duoduo didn't seem satisfied. "You should have said no."
Chen Wangping was stunned. "Why?"
Duoduo said as a matter of course: "This completes my anti-adult routine today!"
Chen Wangping: ...
Chen Wangping didn't say anything, but Duoduo opened her eyes and nimbly tumbled back into the house. She was still dressed the same way she'd been yesterday: a brown, sleeveless linen jacket that only reached above her knees, and brown kneepads on her bare legs. Chen Wangping wanted to ask if she was cold, but seeing her calm demeanor, he knew it was a superfluous question. He could only sigh inwardly at the child's excellent physique.
Duoduo took out two candies from his pocket and threw one to each of them, "You didn't have breakfast, right?"
Chen Wangping took it and said, "Thank you."
Duoduo: "You're welcome. All expenses will be deducted from your future salary."
Chen Wangping: ...
Thomas didn't understand what they were saying, so he just sat there and watched obediently.
Seeing that both of them had finished their candies, Duoduo said, "Pack your things, we're leaving."
Chen Wangping was holding the suitcase in her left hand and holding Duoma's hand with her right hand, waiting for her next instruction. However, Duoduo walked between the two of them, threw her on his back amid Duoma's exclamation, then snatched the suitcase with one hand and hugged the dazed Chen Wangping with the other.
"Hold me tight. If you fall, you'll have to pay extra shipping fees." As soon as she finished speaking, Duoduo jumped out of the window with them.
At this time, the sky was just lit up with a layer of white light, and the streets of the ancient city of Odin were deserted, but some early risers had already started to move. When a shadow flew across the sky, they subconsciously looked up. At first they thought it was a big bird, but when they looked closely they almost popped their eyes out.
A petite young girl, carrying a suitcase in her left hand and a much taller adult woman in her right, was seen leaping and running across the rooftops of the city's residents. Oh no, there was actually a little girl lying on her back.
Incredible! She was carrying two people and a suitcase, but it seemed as if she was carrying two thin leaves, and her body was even lighter than a swallow in the morning breeze.
"That must be a transcendent!"
“That’s amazing!”
"Where can you find such a small and powerful transcendent?"
She, Chen Wangping, and Xiao Duoma, continued running across the rooftops. Soon, they came into sight of the walls of Ancient Odin City. The guards on the walls had apparently spotted their uninvited guest. They raised their weapons and shouted, "Use the city gate! Even extraordinary people can't climb over the walls!"
Seeing them raise their weapons, Chen Wangping's heart tightened nervously, "They have muskets."
Duoduo seemed to hear it, but also seemed not to hear it.
As the guards shouted at them to stop or they would shoot, Duoduo suddenly sped up and took a high leap forward with Chen Wangping and Duoma.
Amidst the bangs of several gunshots, she turned into a ball of light and rushed out like a meteor. They disappeared, and only her voice could be heard from afar, "I, am underage!"
The guards who missed the target: What the hell?
The shadow of the city had been left far behind, and beneath them were vast mountains and woodlands. Chen Wangping was still shocked. If it weren't for what happened today, she would never have thought that she would be held by a child and walk through the city wall under the threat of musket fire. This was too exciting, and even Doma cheered excitedly.
But Chen Wangping couldn't understand, "Why don't you go through the city gate?"
Duoduo: "Because there is no policy of halving the ticket price for elementary school students."
There is no fee to enter the ancient city of Odin, but an exit fee is required to leave the city.
Chen Wangping was initially shocked that Duoduo was actually an elementary school student, but then she thought about it and realized that if he started school at eight, he would be in sixth grade by 13, which would still be considered an elementary school student. She was a little surprised and said, "But this is an alien world." She wanted to explain that alien countries couldn't have the same policies as Earth, but her current position made it difficult to say too much. Duoduo was flying so fast that every word she spoke would fill her mouth with wind. She could only forcefully utter a few simple words, "Keep a low profile!"
Duoduo understood. The corners of her mouth curled up, and her beret was blown back slightly by the wind, revealing her soft, curled short hair. "I won't! I just love to see those adults stunned. You too."
Chen Wangping: ...
Thomas exclaimed, "How cool!"
Duoduo showed a little bit of pride, and the girl's eyebrows and eyes were bright. "Yeah, only those adults who lack confidence would pretend to be low-key."
Chen Wangping: ...
It felt like an arrow hit my back.
Finally, she couldn't help herself and said, "There are a lot of people who just don't like to show off! For example, I'm like that."
Duoduo said without hesitation: "But you have a face-slapping novel in your suitcase that you have read many times."
Chen Wangping: ...
Her face flushed instantly, and she could no longer utter a word of rebuttal. She had to lower her head, but she saw that half of the light that was carrying the girl flying was divided under her and Doma. So that's why. No wonder they were flying at such a high speed, and no wonder she didn't feel much discomfort in this weightless posture.
Although the child was a little arrogant, she had a kind heart. She said softly, "Thank you."
I thought the sound would be drowned out by the wind, but Duoduo glanced sideways at her and said, "A simple thank you can't cover the shipping cost."
Chen Wangping: ...
Although the ancient city of Odin is a border city of the Kingdom of Theodore, it is still quite far away from the territory of the dwarf elves. Fortunately, the speed of the light escape skill is very fast. Duoduo took Chen Wangping and flew for a while and arrived at the border of the abyss where the dwarf elves lived.
Unlike Chen Wangping's surprise and love when he saw the dwarf, Doma was a little afraid of this intelligent race with a cute appearance and hid behind Chen Wangping.
The dwarf elves' chief, Hohochi, came to greet them personally. After all, he had received instructions from Hohoda from the headmaster as early as last night. He escorted them into the teleportation array, and Hohochi breathed a sigh of relief as if his mission was accomplished.
In Chen Wangping's feeling, she was just standing in a circle, and then colorful lights flashed before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she and Doma had changed places.
The buildings and gardens before her were unfamiliar places she had never been to, but they were definitely Earth-style! The flowers and plants were the same! And the air!
Going home!
Chen Wangping's eyes became hot and she almost cried. Not long ago, she thought she would never come back.
As soon as I got back here, the mobile phone signal automatically returned, and the ding-dong message reminder sounds started ringing all of a sudden.
Chen Wangping hurriedly pulled her phone from her pocket. For the past half month in this otherworld, she had conserved her battery by using her power bank, relying on the pictures and music on her phone to get through the loneliness of wandering in this alien world. Now, Chen Wangping was incredibly thankful she hadn't used up the battery; otherwise, how could she have responded to her family immediately?
She immediately called home to report that she was safe. Listening to her mother's choked voice, her relief and gratitude towards the Fantasy Park reached its peak. She was her mother's only child, and without much help, she might have been trapped there for the rest of her life.
But Chen Wangping rationally did not talk for too long. She hung up the phone after about ten minutes, knowing that there were more important things than reuniting with her family at the moment.
At this time, Duoduo had disappeared, and the person who appeared in front of her was Chi Yizheng.
"Director Chi. Thank you for sending Duoduo to save us." She bowed to him with a confused look.
Chi Yizhen didn't stop her, but just said: "You really know me!"
Chen Wangping had already heard from Duoduo why the park had come to rescue her. She nodded and said, "I've seen you in the park's promotional video."
It was noon on Earth at this time, and the paradise was very lively with laughter everywhere.
Chi Yizhen took the two of them to the Dwarf Elf Restaurant, "Let's eat first! We'll talk after we finish eating."
In the past, when someone came to discuss something, they would mostly go to the park’s office, the same office where Lin Lanlan’s parents would take one look and think the park was very poor and would want to donate money immediately.
But now that there is a hot spring resort, and Chen Wangping has come all the way here, out of respect for the senior intellectual, Chi Yizheng went to the hot spring resort to book a suite and let Duoma sleep in the room, while they talked in the small living room in the suite which was decorated warmly and had a relaxing atmosphere.
"Ms. Chen, has anything strange happened abroad recently? And why do you suddenly want to return to China to find your cousin? Is it for my paradise?"
Chen Wangping didn't expect that the young principal in front of her, who was ten years younger than her, would be so straightforward. In particular, the principal's aura and attitude in front of her were similar to those in the interview video, gentle and kind, and his voice was also very soft, and he didn't seem to be arrogant.
No, that's not necessarily true of him.
——This is a very simple thing for our boss!
Thinking of Duoduo's words and his extraordinary powers, Chen Wangping's palms began to sweat nervously. She hadn't intended to hide anything in the first place, but now that she had met the headmaster in person, she only regretted not knowing enough. Taking a barely perceptible breath, Chen Wangping slowly said, "A lot of strange things have happened abroad recently—no, in the past six months, it should be said."
