Chapter 358 Why Are You Not Affected?
The ground, the walls, the busy tavern, the customers in the tavern...
The yellow sand disappeared, and the people and objects that were made of sand just now became living reality!
They have color, sound, and life!
The waiter who had just handed Xiao Yu a jar of sand was greeting customers in a familiar manner. The customers were chatting and laughing with each other, and the food on the table was still emitting heat and fragrance.
This city made of sand has become real!
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes. At the same time, the "burden" that had been pressing on them was suddenly released.
They were breathing heavily, as if they had just ended a long nightmare and woke up completely.
Even Xia Wanqing woke up and looked around in a daze.
Xu Chuchu touched the ground. The tavern was paved with common bluestone slabs, with a thin layer of mud and dust left by people walking on it... but there was no sand, not a single grain.
At the same time, all the sand on her body, in her hair, and even in her clothes disappeared.
Even if the wind is strong, it is impossible to blow the sand so cleanly.
Was it all an illusion? Could there really be an illusion so real that even they couldn't tell it was real?
How did the illusion disappear?
When Xu Chuchu came to her senses, she was still sitting on the ground, leaning on Xiao Yu's arms, and every passerby looked at them.
"Oh, the young couple hasn't hugged enough." Sect Leader Feng recovered and came over with a sly look on his face. "It's different with a beautiful woman by your side. We are all envious."
Shu Yu didn't want to agree with Master Feng, but her face showed "agreement".
"Why are you still talking about this at this time?" Xu Chuchu coughed lightly and stood up.
Xiao Yu sat on the ground without moving, and said with a smile: "Ignore them, they are just jealous..."
Wuwu flew over and flapped its wings towards his face, interrupting him from saying anything else.
Xu Chuchu quickly brought Wu Wu back, wrapped him in a cloth, and held him in her arms to avoid causing a commotion. "Don't worry about it for now. Let's replenish our supplies while we still have water and food."
They found a seat and ordered food and water from the waiter. Each of them drank a large can of water. After eating their fill, they all felt alive.
Now that the Sand City has become a real city, who knows what it will become next. Let’s eat first and accept the fantasy.
They walked out of the tavern and along the street and found that everything was exactly the same as before except for the lack of sand.
The pedestrians selling buns and steamed cakes didn't even look the same.
This city is not as luxurious as the capital or Tailing County. It is almost entirely made up of bungalows, but it is still quite rich. Whether it is clothing or food and accommodation, they are all top-notch.
They also went out of the city to take a look and found that outside was natural land, further away was woodland, and there was a river beside the city, which was the Black Water River.
Not a grain of sand could be seen.
"Why did it change suddenly?" Xu Chuchu murmured to himself.
If there was any change just now, it was that Xiao Yu freed her from the suppressed painful emotions.
"Why are you not affected?" Xu Chuchu suddenly asked Xiao Yu.
"After we came in, Sect Leader Feng, Shu Yu, and I all felt hopeless, irritable, and helpless," she said. "You were the only one who remained calm and was able to wake me up... and even knew how to tease me."
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and smiled. "Yes, actually, when I came in, I also clearly felt a sense of unconscious repression, but it quickly passed. But I think you were all affected."
"So I speculate that the sand city will amplify the anxiety and restlessness in people's hearts. If they can't overcome it, they will fall into it and become part of the sand city."
"But once you wake up, you will bring this city back to life."
"Chu Chu, you are the most important."
Xu Chuchu was still a little confused: "But you haven't explained why you weren't affected. Is it because you're more determined than us?"
"No, it has nothing to do with determination." Xiao Yu looked at her intently. "I think it may be because I don't have as strong a sense of responsibility as you do, and I don't have anything to worry about. Except..."
He squeezed Xu Chuchu's hand, using actions instead of words.
"Go on, besides what?" Xu Chuchu refused, "You were so direct when you started, and you're now shy when you talk."
Xiao Yu couldn't do anything to her, so he whispered, "Except you."
As long as Xu Chuchu is by his side, he has nothing else to ask for.
He would accompany her to do whatever she wanted to do, that was all.
It was this kind of belief that prevented him from being affected by the Sand City and enabled him to find a way to awaken Chu Chu and end it all.
After hearing what he said, Xu Chuchu was finally satisfied: "It seems that the Red Dragon Queen had a reason to choose you."
After she finished speaking, she realized that perhaps they still had a long way to go on this road, and everyone would play a vital role, and no one could be missing.
"Look over there!" Shu Yu suddenly squeezed in between the two of them and pointed to the right front.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found several men working together to carry two fat pigs towards the back of the city.
These two pigs had just been slaughtered, and blood was still flowing, dripping to the ground in strings.
It was clearly a bloody scene, and people along the street, including children, were watching it all the way. Some even ran after it, as if they wanted to watch something exciting.
Something must be wrong when things are abnormal, so several people followed quickly and silently.
After walking through two streets, we saw two more teams carrying slaughtered animals. One team was carrying a cow, and the other was carrying two sheep. They looked like they were going to offer sacrifices, and I didn't know what god they worshipped here.
As we walked further, there were even more people gathered around, but they were just pointing and talking from the periphery, and few people came forward.
Pushing through the crowd and taking a look, everyone was horrified and immediately put away their cultivation.
There was actually a giant black dragon lying on a wide open space!
There are a few active little dragons around!
The dragon clan actually appeared so naked in front of humans!
Fortunately, these dragons were either sleeping or lying lazily, otherwise they would have discovered them long ago.
Looking at the residents in the city, some were standing in a circle outside to watch, while others were actually lying on the dragon, scrubbing its scales with cloth.
It seems that the people here have long known about the existence of the dragon clan and worship them?!
Even responsible for taking a bath?
