The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 423-424: Return; Zi Cheng’s Group of Three Returns

423: Return

Ming Xi and Jier understood why the holy envoys for Spring and Fall ended up at the tomb after talking to Fall.

“It turns out the two of you were sent here to be my side because the High Priest foresaw I would be in danger.” Ming Xi never expected they were there because of him.

The High Priest of Star Marshall hall had foreseen Ming Xi’s trip was doomed, that he would end in grave trouble if no one was there to help him. Though he wouldn’t die, his vitality would be severely depleted.

The four great emperors were vital figures in the human world so their successors were protected by Star Marshall hall. Anytime the hall knew a successor was in mortal danger, assistance would be immediately sent.

The High Priest dispatched two envoys from the hall to help Ming Xi, the future king of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom, after he foresaw the danger Ming Xi would be in.

This was why the two envoys pretended to be siblings and had a “chance” encounter with Ming Xi. Scarlet was the Spring Envoy and Mojia was the Fall Envoy and both had put in a lot of effort to keep their identities secret.

They had nearly rushed in back when Ming Xi’s soul was on Death island. But the two refrained after contacting the High Priest and learning the island was not where they would be needed.

It was a good thing they waited, because Ming Xi did return alive.

Jier was not sure how he felt when he found out the two pretend siblings were his future colleagues and that they had hidden under his nose without him suspecting who they really were. He had suspected they were hall agents from the start, but he never suspected they were holy envoys.

Future colleagues! He did not feel good about it at all!

A huge water cyclone popped out after Fall finished his explanation. The water column was meters high and quite impressive looking. It remained for several seconds and caused the boat to capsize before disappearing. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

A young lady with deep-red hair and wearing a white cheongsam appeared in the sky after the cyclone faded away. She slowly descended onto Ming Xi’s boat. Such an entrance, of course people wondered who she was.

“Phew. All settled.” The red head entered the cabin with a relaxed expression. This was of course Scarlet, the Spring envoy.

“What did you do to the sea god?” Jier was still behaving quite familiarly with Margaret, despite her secret identity as Scarlet, and didn’t hesitate to ask her.

Ming Xi had explained some of what had happened inside the tomb. His story telling was much better than Feng Wu. His simple words managed to convey the tension and drama so well that Jier could picture everything in his mind. He was anxious for them, even though he knew the ending.

“Everything is fine. I sealed the tomb back up. This time, it should be locked up tight and no one should be able to find it.” Scarlet blinked indifferently while she playfully smiled as though what she did was not a big deal.

The tomb was sealed again. As expected of a holy envoy for the four seasons who succeeded to the throne. Jier knew he couldn’t have done it, seal a tomb back up. josei

Ming Xi was relieved to hear the news. The sea god’s tomb was too dangerous and it was better to keep it locked and lost beneath the waters.

Feng Wu was worried about her friends, the king and his attendants. He had held off on reincarnating because he wanted to save all the other kings inside the tomb, but now Feng Wu didn’t know how he was.

“Don’t worry Xiao Wu. All of them reincarnated already.” Rui Baby telepathically reassured Feng Wu.

“That’s good.” Feng Wu was relieved to know everyone was all right.

Rui Baby had let the kings and everyone around him reincarnate when they entered the last level of the tomb. They were all spirit bodies that should have reincarnated long ago, but the selfishness of the sea god forced them to remain and suffer in the world for thousands of years.

The last level wasn’t something they could help with anyway. No matter how powerful a spirit was, it had no advantages when standing before a god. Not only would the spirits be unhelpful, but they would have only gotten injured standing before divine aura. It was senseless to have them stay after considering all this, so Rui Baby had let them all reincarnate when they entered the final level.

“By the way, this. . . ” Scarlet said as she took out a staff with a sapphire embedded from her space ring.

Ming Xi and Feng Wu knew what it was with one glance. Wasn’t that the sea god’s scepter?

Though it had downgraded to a quasi-heavenly item, it was still a rare treasure. So many people would have fought over it if they knew of its existence.

Scarlet had her own divine item though, so the staff was worthless to her. She brought it out to see if Feng Wu wanted it, but before she could finish her sentence, the staff turned into a stream of light and escaped to the sky.

She shrugged as she looked at it flying away. “I wanted to give the staff to Xiao Wu to play with, but it doesn’t look like that will happen.”

“Looks like it developed spiritual consciousness. A creature like that will find its own master. It must be looking for a new owner.” Mojia explained.

Feng Wu didn’t have any particular feelings about losing the sea god’s scepter even though she knew Scarlet had wanted to give it to her.

And with that, trip to the sea god’s tomb finally came to an end.

Ming Xi was noncommittal when Jier told him about Yanran, Oleen, and Milty’s return. He would report the facts as they stood. As for what the school planned to do about it, he had no interest whatsoever.

Standing in front of the academy gates made Leo feel refreshed! There had been small disasters, big disasters, and the trio pig teammates who managed to come back alive. He must have done something in his previous life to get this kind of karmic reward.

“We’re finally back! Let’s have a big meal together!” Leo felt he had to eat more to make up for the courage damaged by the excessive worry he had.

“I’m coming with. Senior Leo won’t mind inviting us fellow junior brother and sister for a meal right?” Jier didn’t miss his chance to mooch of off his senior. Of course he made sure to include Feng Wu in on the deal.

Feng Wu: Delicious food!

Leo’s mouth twitched. This was going to be an expensive meal, but he wasn’t stingy; so though he was worried about the money, he nodded and agreed.

424: Zi Cheng’s Group of Three Returns

Only asking Jier and Feng Wu to join seemed poor manners, so he extended the invite to the rest of the group as well.

Unsurprisingly, Ming Xi, Yanran, Oleen, and Milty said they had other things to do, and refused the invitation. In contrast, Ink agreed heartily.

They said their farewells at the gate and went to their respective dorms to wash up and rest.

Feng Wu held Xiao Ye in her arms as she opened the dorm room with her key. It looked recently cleaned, probably because someone recently did some housekeeping.

Xi came down as soon as she heard the door open. Her eyes lit up when she saw Feng Wu.

Annika had also returned earlier so the three girls sat, had tea, and ate snacks.

“Xiao Wu, how come you only returned now? Class starts in two days and everyone else returned earlier. Only you and Jasmine weren’t back yet. We couldn’t contact you so we were really worried. I was afraid something had happened to you and you couldn’t return for some reason.”

Annika ate the snacks Feng Wu brought back from Bilou island happily. The snacks were delicious – sweet, crispy, and fragrant. Compliments!

“We went to a god’s tomb.” Feng Wu was like a little squirrel as she nibbled on her piece at a fever fast pace.

“God’s tomb! You mean the sea god that’s in all the gossip lately?! I heard it was dangerous and a lot of people died. Why would you want to go to such a dangerous place?! Tell us everything that happened!” It was obvious Xi was very curious about what had happened to Feng Wu and her group.

Even though Feng Wu’s storytelling was as monotone as water dripping, the girls were nonetheless spellbound.

“Did you meet Jasmine inside the tomb?” Annika drank some more fruit tea after asking her question.

Feng Wu thought for a moment. “We met once, but not again since then.” Feng Wu had gone through several king tombs, but had only run into Jasmine once in all that time.

“She’s probably OK right?” Annika was a little worried.

Though Jasmine had a bad attitude, was too competitive and arrogant, she and Annika had been close once because they were classmates. Annika was the most worried about Jasmine not returning.

“She is OK, still alive.” Feng Wu said seriously.

Annika’s mouth twitched. She was relieved, alive was good enough she supposed.

After chatting for a while longer, Xiao Wu took Little Bun out for Leo’s dinner. She held him in her arms while Little White followed along behind them.

Leo, Ink, and Jier were already there and waiting, having been there ten minutes earlier. They had already ordered from the menu. Feng Wu was a little late because of her chat with the girls.

“Xiao Wu, come, sit down. I ordered all your favorite dishes.” Jier waved her over.

Ink’s mouth twitched. What favorite? Was there even anything Feng Wu didn’t like to eat? It wasn’t like she was a picky eater.

Leo didn’t pay them any mind and had the waiter serve the food up. There was only four of them, but they somehow ordered twenty dishes. These guys were determined to stock up on their food stores.

Feng Wu’s heart did a little skip. Someone was staring at her viciously. But she quickly ignored it when she didn’t see anyone after turning around to look. Instead she sat down and focused on stuffing herself silly with the food in front of her.

In a private box where Feng Wu couldn’t see, Yifu was staring at her through a crack in the door. She had wanted to find an opportunity to kill Feng Wu while in the tomb; sadly, she never got the chance.

Her group had encountered a huge crisis while in the tomb; fortunately they were rescued by a mysterious figure. However, after rescuing them, the man remained on Feng Wu’s boat, which made Yifu very unhappy. She didn’t like the idea such a strong person could be friendly with Feng Wu.

Yifu knew a lot of elusive people but the only reason any of them gave her any consideration was because they were giving Zi Cheng face. If it wasn’t for Zi Cheng, none of them would have cared about the first daughter of the main wife of some small family.

She wasn’t jealous of Zi Cheng’s popularity but she was unwilling to lose to Feng Wu, who she looked down on.

Jasmine had survived the trip and was fortunate enough to come away with a legendary magic ring for water mages. She had gotten it herself and wasn’t a gift from Zi Cheng.

Yifu got a legendary defense necklace from Zi Cheng, which she wore happily for several days.

As for Zi Cheng, she managed to snatch the crown from the sea god’s head. It was semi-magical and it was amazing that she managed to get it from everyone else.

Most people who entered the tomb were lucky enough to leave the tomb with their lives, never mind magical items. So, the fact that all three left with something was outstanding and would have made so many people envious.

“Yifu, what are you looking at?” Jasmine casually glanced in the direction Yifu was looking at.

“A nasty person.” Yifu said in disgust.

“Yifu, don’t be like this. Feng Wu isn’t a bad person. Why do you hate her so much?” Zi Cheng said helplessly. She knew Yifu harbored strong animosity towards Feng Wu, but she didn’t understand why.

“I just can’t stand the way she pretends to be all innocent. Look at her, hanging around all those guys all day long, pretending to be all pure. It’s disgusting.” Yifu poured a glass of red wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Zi Cheng shook her head and looked at the glass in Yifu’s hand.

“Don’t drink so much. We have to go back to school later.”

“Yes, of course.” Yifu obediently put down the glass.

“We’ll just have less contact with her since you don’t like her. Don’t think of ways to plot against her. We go to the same school. If you harm her without just reason, the school could take action against you.” Zi Cheng coaxed softly.

Jasmine’s eyes darkened. “Zi Cheng is right. If you move on Feng Wu, it’ll only fall back on you. It’s not worth it.”

“But I can’t let it go. I don’t want to let her off the hook. I want her dead.” Yifu made no secret about her desire to kill Feng Wu.

Yifu was never a big-hearted person. If it weren’t for Zi Cheng’s god-defying favorability system, the friendship between the two girls would have ended as Zi Cheng became more popular. But because of the absolute control the favorability system exerted, it was impossible for Yifu to think badly of Zi Cheng.
