Chapter 470: Your Eyes Can’t Hide It When You Like Someone

In August, the sun was still scorching in Jingdu.

“Come here, it’s cooler here.” Na Luo walked to the shade under the roof of the cafe and waved at Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang stared at the beautiful woman under the eaves for a moment before walking to Na Luo’s side in small steps. She stood under the eaves with her to shade herself. A female singer’s love song was playing in the cafe. It sounded very pleasant, and made the afternoon weather seem more cool and breezy.

Na Luo leaned against the window gla.s.s and turned to Sheng Yang. “I’ll accompany you all day. Is there anything you want to do? Let’s do it together.”

Sheng Yang frowned and asked her, “What about you? What do you want to do?”

Na Luo didn’t speak, but she looked at Sheng Yang with undisguised desire.

Her gaze was so burning that Sheng Yang quickly lowered her head.

Sheng Yang immediately understood what Na Luo wanted to do. Na Luo wanted to do it with her!

Sheng Yang took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as she raised her head. She looked up into Na Luo’s eyes and asked, “Is something big about to happen?” So today’s company was the calm before the storm.

“Don’t ask so much.” Na Luo ignored Sheng Yang’s objections and forcefully held her hand before pulling her into the cafe.

Standing at the door, Sheng Yang looked up at the name of the cafe. It was very special. It was called—

At the unfinished building cafe.

Na Luo opened the door of the cafe and a gust of cold air blew into her face, instantly waking Sheng Yang up.

The cafe was decorated in an industrial style. It retained the original walls and floor of the cement building and only hung a few flowers on the wall. With the decoration of the flowers, the cold industrial-style building instantly seemed more cozy.

Na Luo ordered a cup of black coffee called “Drifter”, but she ordered a cup of flat white coffee called “Happy New Year” for Sheng Yang.

The former was mixed with wine, and the latter with milk.

While waiting for the barista to brew the coffee, Na Luo pulled Sheng Yang to a table behind a table. She picked up the pen and paper on the table and said, “Shall we go eat spicy hotpot first? Then watch a movie? Or go to the sauna for a ma.s.sage?”

Na Luo acted like an ordinary and harmless young lady discussing her schedule with her best friend.

Sheng Yang only wanted to escape from Na Luo’s control and return to Yufu City as soon as possible. She wasn’t interested in Na Luo’s arrangements the entire time.

Na Luo also sensed her resistance. She put down the letter and stared at Sheng Yang without blinking. Sheng Yang was annoyed by her stare. She said coldly, “I know I’m beautiful, and I know you’re infatuated with me, but please don’t look at me with such a mushy gaze.”

“I like you, so the way I look at you can’t hide it.” Na Luo was always looking for an opportunity to confess to Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang pretended to be deaf.

The waiter brought the flat white over and placed it in front of Na Luo. Na Luo pushed the cup of flat white to Sheng Yang and said, “Yang Yang, let’s be good friends for another day. Today, let’s put aside our prejudices and each other’s ident.i.ties. You will be Yang Yang and I will be Na Luo.”

Sheng Yang stared at the beautiful Cupid’s Arrow flower in the cup and pondered for a moment before replying softly, “Okay.”

Seeing her nod, Na Luo smiled.

After drinking the coffee, Na Luo pulled Sheng Yang into a roadside boutique and bought a pink sunhat for her. Sheng Yang had an inexplicable resistance to fans. She said, “Only little girls buy pink hats. I’m already grown up.”

“You’re my little girl.” Na Luo ignored Sheng Yang’s objections and put the sunhat on Sheng Yang’s head.

The brim of the sunhat was very long. Sheng Yang’s palm-sized face was hidden under the sunhat, making her look even more pet.i.te and exquisite.

Na Luo looked at him deeply before saying, “It’s quite beautiful. Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

The two of them went to watch a fantasy movie. The female lead was a female celebrity called Su Qianqian. She played a decisive female Beast Tamer.

Sheng Yang recognized Su Qianqian and secretly told Na Luo, “I know Su Qianqian. She and Yu Huang are fake friends.”

Na Luo commented seriously, “Her acting skills aren’t as good as Yu Huang’s.”

“Of course. She’s only capable enough to carry Yu Huang’s shoes.”

Sheng Yang calmed down and watched the movie carefully. However, this movie was top-notch in both the plot and filming methods. Su Qianqian’s acting skills weren’t bad. When Sheng Yang saw the female protagonist die in the finale, she even shed a few tears.

It was already three in the afternoon when the two of them finished watching the movie.

The sun was still scorching, but there was cool wind. Na Luo suddenly asked, “Do you want to take a walk by the sea?”

It was rare for Sheng Yang to come out for a breather, so she naturally didn’t want to go back so early. The underground palace was gloomy, and living in the underground palace was like living in h.e.l.l. Sheng Yang didn’t like it at all.

What was so good about the netherworld? The human world was better.

“Sure.”

Na Luo rented an electric scooter and carried Sheng Yang through the city. When it was almost dark, they finally arrived at the edge of the Divine Sea.

In the evening, the beach was very lively. Children were running on the beach in only their underwear. Some bold men and women were playing volleyball and games on the beach in tank tops and bikinis.

Sheng Yang looked at the people running and finally felt alive.

Na Luo took off her white shoes and stepped on the soft beach, leaving rows of neat footprints. But soon, new waves came and washed her footprints clean.

The row of footprints seemed to have never appeared.

Na Luo stared at the flat sand surface. She couldn’t help but wonder if she would disappear without a trace like these footprints if she died, or would someone remember her?

Na Luo waved at Sheng Yang. “Come and play in the water.”

Sheng Yang shook her head. “It’s inconvenient for me to do that.”

Na Luo had forgotten that Sheng Yang was on her period today and it wasn’t convenient for her to go into the water. She walked to Sheng Yang’s side on the fine sand and said to her, “Then let’s take a walk.”

“Okay.”

The two of them left the noisy beach area and arrived at the less populated reef area.

Na Luo sat on the reef and washed the fine sand off her feet with seawater. After washing her feet, she raised her wet feet and wiped them on her leggings before putting on her shoes. Sheng Yang stared at the bold Na Luo and felt extremely conflicted.

If only Na Luo wasn’t an ancient merman.

After Na Luo put on her shoes, she pointed at the vast Divine Sea and said, “When a Beast Tamer breaks through to the Divine Master Realm, his beast form can break through the restrictions of his beast body and possess a real human body to become a real human. As for my mother, she was once the beast form of a Divine Master. Ten thousand years ago, a battle of the Divine Masters erupted in the three thousand worlds, and there were heavy casualties in that battle. My mother’s host also died. Before my mother died, she used the last of her energy to tear open a spatial tunnel for me and threw me into it. Only then did I escape.”

“When I woke up, I had already arrived at the Holy Spirit Continent. I lived alone in the trench for 10,000 years. In these 10,000 years, I knew my place and had never killed anyone. Not only that, but I also helped clean up a lot of marine trash and saved many seriously injured people. The old dean of your Divine Realm Academy was saved by me once.”

“But I never expected that after I kindly saved a merman, I would end up being surrounded and killed by that despicable merman race!” Recalling the siege eight hundred years ago, Na Luo instantly felt enraged. “I’ve never hurt anyone or done evil, but they wanted to capture me alive and skin me alive! What kind of logic is that?!”

Na Luo was enraged. The seawater of the Divine Sea immediately churned into huge waves with power comparable to a huge tsunami.

Seeing this, Sheng Yang hurriedly pressed her hand on Na Luo’s shoulder and reminded her loudly, “Na Luo! Control your abilities and don’t harm the innocent!” There were countless civilians on the beach. They were innocent.

When Na Luo heard Sheng Yang’s voice, she calmed down a little. The huge waves on the sea also flowed back.

Na Luo heard the child crying in fear. She turned to look at the distant beach. Her lips moved, and there seemed to be guilt in her eyes.

Na Luo sighed and said, “Let’s go.”

“Where are we going?”

Na Luo raised her head and looked in the direction of the Prosperous Capital. She said, “I’ll bring you to see the luxurious gift Su Xuanye prepared for the Beast Tamers.”

When Sheng Yang heard this, she felt a chill down her spine.

Luxurious gift?

There was probably a bomb in the gift bag.

Na Luo raised her hand gently, and the void in front of her suddenly twisted. Na Luo tore open the distorted s.p.a.ce with her hands, and a spatial tunnel appeared in front of her.

Only a Prime Emperor could easily open up s.p.a.ce!

Na Luo grabbed Sheng Yang’s slender wrist and pulled her into the spatial tunnel. They shuttled through the dark s.p.a.ce for a while. When they appeared again, they had already arrived at the Prosperous Capital.

Sheng Yang heard the bell for the end of cla.s.s. She looked up and saw the entrance of a school. On the door was written—

Prosperous Capital’s No. 1 High School.

“Na Luo, why did you bring me here?”

There was a road in front of the entrance of Prosperous Capital’s No. 1 High School. On the other side of the road was a small square. At the entrance of the square, there were a few round b.a.l.l.s that prevented cars from driving in. Na Luo sat on the ball. She stared at the students entering and exiting the entrance of Prosperous Capital’s No. 1 High School and asked in confusion, “Yang Yang, are Healers very powerful?”

Why were Healers suddenly mentioned?

Sheng Yang nodded and said, “High-level Healers are indeed very powerful. Healers can basically cure all the cancers that the medical world can’t completely cure.”

Na Luo asked, “The reason why Healers can heal patients is because they convert the spiritual power in their bodies into healing power. That’s why they can help the patient cure the illness, right? This sounds very similar to how Purifying Spirit Masters use psychic power to exorcise demons.”

“Something like that.” Sheng Yang asked suspiciously, “Why are you asking this?”

Na Luo frowned slightly and said, “Then, if someone with a high cultivation level created a brand new infectious virus and silently spread it in a city, can those healers still save them when the entire city falls ill?”
