Chapter 54: Meeting Senior Mei Again



The only ones who were really determined to pursue Xi and the others were the remaining Sicilian group, which numbered no more than a dozen people. Although Xu's motherland was rapidly increasing its troops, it was only a paper increase for these pursuers, as they could not grow wings and fly over.

If these ten people were used to search for the rest of the people, then they would be strong enough. However, using them to search for Xi at this time, they were really stretched to the limit. Even Sicily himself had little confidence.

Because Xi had already escaped from his hands once before, and they escaped together under heavy siege. Now the power he could mobilize was reduced by more than half. Even if there were reinforcements urgently allocated, it would be like distant water cannot quench the nearby fire. Suzhan Xi and the priest Du gave them the feeling that they were really elusive, as if they had an extremely abnormal ability of group spatial displacement.

After the four of them reunited, they were quite sad. In this battle, Du Yuqi's participation in the dispatch was certainly important, but Lin also made an indispensable contribution. If it weren't for him, the local tyrant of the virtual motherland, who gave his full help and completed a lot of trivial but extremely important tasks, it would have been a hundred times more difficult for Du Yuqi and the others to escape.

However, not long after they met, Xi was full of energy and asked Lin to spar with him, and Lin could only agree with a wry smile. The two of them fought enthusiastically, and Jet asked Du Yuqi to treat his injuries. The two began to chat, but the chat involved some things in the future. What bothered Du Yuqi the most was that the fourteen hours of his stay were about to end, and he was about to return to Earth. How to enter the Arad continent to help them next...

The crisis facing the group is only temporarily resolved at this moment. It can be expected that the mysterious organization will never give up the hunt, and Xu Zu must also want to maintain the face of the country and is determined not to give up. It's not that Du Yuqi thinks highly of himself. If it weren't for him, it would be a hundred times more difficult for Xi to get through this period safely.

After some discussion, Jet didn't have any solution, but he came up with an idea, which is that professional matters are best done by professionals, such as summoning masters like Mingxi, who are the best people to ask.

According to the route designed by Du Yuqi before, they will continue to head northeast, pass through the north of Miranda Plain, and then arrive in Rabat, from where they will hire a Magadha and fly to Cantwin in the south of the Delos Empire.

Originally, Du Yuqi chose the city of Kantwin because the powerful artifact that the clown had mentioned before was there. Now, it was not known whether it was a coincidence or not, but the information that Feng Lin deciphered from Shi Siding's ring also pointed to Kantwin.

Du Yuqi had a hunch that the value of the secret obtained from Shi Siding might even be higher than the artifact given by the clown, so he must not miss it.

According to the judgment of Du Yuqi and Lin, the morale of the pursuers behind them was already very low. Even if reinforcements arrived to regroup, it would only give them a buffer time of about a day. Even if this estimate was optimistic, ten hours was essential.

Rabat was about five hundred miles away, and it would not take more than five hours to find a manned Magadha ship there, so the rest of the journey would basically be no problem. Du Yuqi calculated again and again, then left some first aid medicines in his dimensional ring, as well as easy-to-preserve foods such as instant noodles, melon seeds, and sausages, and then said goodbye to the three people.

Before leaving, Du Yuqi saw Xi's slim figure standing next to her, looking rather lonely. He couldn't resist the urge to reach out and hug her, but he immediately held back. Although Xi was beautiful, she was also extremely powerful. The consequences of doing so were difficult to predict. It would be too embarrassing to get beaten up.

After returning to Earth, Du Yuqi first discovered that his Sacred Crowns had been reduced to only two. This discovery made him wail. At first, he thought that these things accumulated very quickly, but now he knows that no matter what time it is, you will regret not having enough money when you need it...

At this time, Du Yuqi naturally had no intention of going back to school for classes, so she simply went back to her rented house to catch up on some sleep. However, as soon as she got back, she saw the pillow on the sofa, and naturally she thought of Xi in her pajamas, holding the pillow, eating snacks and watching TV... Not only that, the whole room was still filled with the faint fragrance of lotus on her body, which naturally made Du Yuqi feel lost and sad.

Du Yuqi was, after all, just a little otaku. In such a situation, it was inevitable that he would feel distracted and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, until finally his eyes were too tired to open, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.

However, not long after Du Yuqi fell asleep, he was awakened by the buzzing sound of the phone. He picked up the phone and found that it was from his roommate Yan Chenyan. He was so angry that he wanted to throw the phone at him. After a long while, he suppressed his anger and said:

"Do you know what happened to the last person who disturbed my sleep?"

The other side was silent for a long time, and only after a while did a sweet and soft voice come:

"So you were sleeping? I'm so sorry."

Hearing this voice, Du Yuqi suddenly shuddered. How could he forget this voice? It was Senior Sister Mei who he had been unable to find anywhere. He immediately lost all his sleepiness and said:

"It's okay. I had a cold in the afternoon, so I took some medicine and sweated outside. Now I woke up from a good sleep and everything is fine."

Senior Mei said with concern:

"Are you really okay now? How do you feel?"

Du Yuqi immediately said:

"It couldn't be better."

Senior Mei chuckled and said:

"I'm at school now and I'm a little hungry. Can you come and have supper with me?"

Du Yuqi immediately laughed and said:

"What a coincidence! I just happen to want to have a midnight snack too. Let's meet at the Dongdaemun Gate of our school. Is it convenient for you?"

Senior Mei said:

"It's settled. Is this your new phone number? I'll call you later."

Ten minutes later, Du Yuqi met Senior Mei at the east gate of the school. After not seeing each other for a month or two, she seemed to have lost some weight. After meeting, the two walked side by side, and then went to the barbecue bar next door for a midnight snack. They even asked for a private room. This barbecue bar was designed in the style of Pirates of the Caribbean. Each private room was designed in the style of a medieval ship cabin. It was very distinctive, reflecting the lights and nightlife outside the window, and created a unique atmosphere.

Du Yuqi chatted with Senior Mei for a while and felt that she seemed to have changed a little. Before, Senior Mei gave him the impression of being lively and cheerful, full of energy, and able to handle anyone and any situation appropriately and confidently, with a smile as bright as the sun. But when he saw her this time, he felt as if she were an orchid blooming in the night, exuding a subtle fragrance and seeming much more reserved.

There is no doubt that a lot of things must have happened to Senior Mei during the days she was missing. Du Yuqi tried to ask her indirectly, but she always cleverly changed the subject.

The dishes they ordered were served one after another. The signature dish, grilled fish, was a must, with sweet peppers, onions, fresh celery, watercress, pineapple and other condiments. It was a full plate, and there were also various grilled skewers. What surprised Du Yuqi was that, as a girl, Senior Mei actually took the initiative to order drinks.

The wine here is also very famous. It is called Lady Wine. It is packaged in a very delicate and retro blue and white porcelain bottle. A bottle weighs only two or three taels. There is a small stove underneath boiling water to heat the wine. It is paired with a miniature wine glass shaped like a plum blossom, which is very artistic.

Even girls will not feel spicy when drinking such hot wine, but will feel a sweet and sour taste in the wine. After drinking it, their whole body will feel warm and comfortable. This is why it is called lady wine. However, this lady wine is made of green plums, grain liquor and honey. It tastes very smooth, but in fact the alcohol content is still very high, at least around 40 degrees, and it is easy to get drunk without knowing it.

The girl took the initiative to ask the boy to drink with her. Although Du Yuqi was not good at this, she could not give in. In addition, the pocket-sized wine glass could only hold a penny of wine at most, and she would not feel anything after drinking it in one gulp. So the two of them ate and drank at the same time, and unknowingly drank three or four bottles of wine. At this time, the alcohol was surging, and Sister Mei's fair face was stained with two blushes, making her look even more charming.

While chatting and laughing, the two naturally talked about the last experience of racing with robbers. At that time, Du Yuqi was concentrating on racing and did not notice what Senior Sister Mei was feeling at the time. Now listening to her story, he realized that she was originally a law-abiding person, but since that day, she suddenly became obsessed with the excitement and feeling of speed when her life was hanging by a thread.

At this point, Senior Mei suddenly leaned forward, closing the distance between her and Du Yuqi, and looked at Du Yuqi with a look that seemed to be both angry and happy:

"I heard about something a few days ago. I heard that a very amazing mysterious driver appeared in this city. He actually used a second-hand broken van to crush the professional driver in terms of strength, forcing the professional driver to retreat without a fight. At the same time, he also made a very famous young master in the circle look humiliated. Is this you?"

Du Yuqi laughed and said:

"How did the truth become like this after being passed around?"

After that, she told Senior Sister Mei the whole story. When Senior Sister Mei heard that Du Yuqi really challenged many luxury cars with a second-hand Wuling Hongguang and won the battle, her beautiful eyes flickered with admiration, and suddenly said to Du Yuqi seriously:

"Take me for a car race!"
