“Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have brought in your guest.” Xin Zhe brought Ning Caichen into the palace hall. Ning Caichen was wearing purple clothes, had a long sword slung behind her back, and held a small bag in her hands.

Seeing the empress sitting up above, she bowed gently and used Great Xia’s etiquette for women.

“Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness!”

The sword behind her back trembled slightly.

The empress glanced at her briefly before continuing to look at her laptop.

Speaking of which, this laptop was already pretty old.

Ren Baqian was in the midst of examining the leather bag in his hands, which contained the herbs for making a nourishing and healthy soup.

Supplementation must never stop!

He lifted his head and looked at Ning Caichen before saying, “I’m giving you one last chance to change your mind.”

“I’ll never regret this!”

“So it shall be. In fact, it’s pretty good over there. There are mobile phones, computers, mangas, television dramas, movies, and an abundance of supplies. You can lead a populous and affluent lifestyle with plenty of food, drinks, and fun,” Ren Baqian said.

This was indeed the case. This world wasn’t comparable to Earth in terms of supplies and entertainment products.

Of course, this comparison was made with regard to the current situation of this world.

After listening to what Ren Baqian said, even though Ning Caichen didn’t know what he was talking about, she became more interested in finding out where she would be going.

At the same time, she was also curious about their outfits.

He was wearing a pair of Bermuda shorts and a t-shirt while the empress was wearing a long red dress. Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were also wearing long skirts. The clothes that they were wearing were very different from Dayao’s style of clothes.

“Commander Xin Zhe, where are your casual clothes?” Ren Baqian asked.

During a previous trip to Earth, he had bought her some clothes.

It was the same for Qing Yuan and Hong Luan as well. Knowing that they were going to Earth, they diligently had changed into their casual outfits.

“I have buried them!” Xin Zhe replied as she adjusted her glasses.

Ren Baqian was dumbstruck.

What did she do that for?

“Forget it. We’ll just make do with whatever you’re wearing. I’ll have to get someone to prepare some clothes for you there.” Apart from Xin Zhe, Ning Caichen’s clothes were inappropriate as well.

Lin Qiaole got excited after learning that she could go back to Earth and see her good friend, the husky. However, after just five minutes of excitement, she became sleepy. After 10 minutes, she was only half-conscious. Currently, she was sitting on the floor and bobbing her head.

“Hold on tight.” Ren Baqian waved his hand. He originally planned to get someone to cover Ning Caichen’s eyes, but after some thought, he figured that it was only going to take a split second. Once she arrived on Earth, she would be exposed to knowledge of that place and would be able to guess everything, so there was no need to cover her eyes.

He held the empress with one hand and Ning Caichen with the other.

The surroundings started changing instantly.

Everyone appeared in a hotel room.

“This… This is?” Ning Caichen looked around her with her eyes wide open. It was merely an instant, but everything around her changed.

The room wasn’t big, but it was clean and tidy. The glass window was crystal clear, and sunlight shone into the room.

She felt that the decor of the room was extremely lavish, especially the golden wallpaper behind the bed. Ren Baqian felt that it was hideous, but it was different for her.

This, however, wasn’t the most important thing. It was clearly night time a minute ago, so why did it suddenly become day?

Lin Qiao became energetic after arriving on Earth. She squatted on the floor, raised her head, and started making noises.

“Howl Woof!”

“Stop howling, your friend isn’t here!” Ren Baqian slapped her head.

“Where is this?” Ning Caichen asked as she took a careful look around her.

“You will find out soon enough.” He curiously looked at her. “How’s your sword, Green Pearl? Can you still command it?”

Ning Caichen was a bit unclear about what he meant. She moved her finger and Green Pearl sneakily flew out from its sheath. It twirled around her waist as if it was trying to escape from the empress’s sight.

“It doesn’t seem to be affected. ” Ren Baqian nodded as everything was good.

This room was a suite that had a separate living area and bedroom. The empress took Qing Yuan, Hong Luan,and Xin Zhe to the living area to watch television. Ren Baqian left Ning Caichen in the bedroom and went out to buy two sets of clothes.

He planned to buy a western-style outfit for Xin Zhe—a short skirt and a white T-shirt. He always felt that this outfit suited her with her glasses.

Putting this outfit on, she would simply be the best candidate for a secretary.

As for Ning Caichen, it was a set of unisex clothes—trousers and a casual jacket. It gave her the look of a mature young lady with her artificial looks. The only problem with it was her flat chest. It was even flatter than Lin Qiaole’s. However, this would no longer be the case after she returned from Thailand.

After she followed Ren Baqian’s instructions to put on her clothes, Ning Caichen asked, “Your Highness, where exactly is this? I took a look outside just now, and it seems like I have come to a bizarre place. It’s not a place that I know of.”

As for how they managed to teleport from Dayao’s palace to this place in an instant, she suppressed that curiosity for the moment. However, she was feeling curious about everything that she saw, especially those moving metal boxes that she saw downstairs as well as the tall buildings here. What was that box with sound and moving pictures in the living area? Were there little people in there?

If it wasn’t for the slight stench in the air, she would have suspected that this was where the gods lived.

“In the future, you will live here. After you are done with the tasks that I assign to you, you are free to do anything during other times. As for where this place is… You will find out soon enough.” Ren Baqian smiled. Although this place was very different from the other world, with Ning Caichen’s imagination, she would probably take some time before realizing that this was another world.

He called in Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, Xin Zhe, and Lin Qiao before starting a briefing.

“There are some occasions this time around that will require you to pass off as Her Majesty’s relatives.”

“This… We dare not!” Qing Yuan and Hong Yuan quickly responded. Impersonating the empress’s relatives meant that they were impersonating the royal family!

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. You must pretend to be Her Majesty’s relatives or else some issues will be troublesome. This is important. Xin Zhe will be her paternal cousin while the rest of you will be her maternal cousins. Remember this. And Ning Caichen… You’ll be her good friend.”

“I’ll be claiming connections with a higher social class!” Ning Caichen turned watery. She probably would not be able to change this artificial attitude of hers. After sending her on the three day tour in Thailand, she would probably become a full-fledged monster when she returned.

“What does Your Highness want us to do?”

“Nothing much. I just want to attend a wedding according to the tradition here, and that’s it. Alright, you simply have to remember your own identities. If others ask you, you just have to tell this to them. I can show you around today.” Ren Baqian clapped.

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan suddenly grew excited. During the previous trip, they had only been out once. For the rest of the time, they stayed in the villa.

Both of them were very curious about the outside world.

Xin Zhe didn’t have much expression on her face, Lin Qiaole simply looked sleepy, and Ning Caichen looked pretty interested to see what kind of place this was.

When everyone went downstairs, the front desk got a shock. When had so many gorgeous ladies gone up?

The hotel staff didn’t think of them as social escorts, but one could immediately tell by looking at their eyes that the staff were simply curious about when so many gorgeous ladies had arrived at the hotel. The staff only had to see them once to never forget their looks.

The hotel was located in the center of the city, and Ren Baqian was ready to grab some food.

However, they witnessed a brawl not long after walking out of the hotel.

Both of the combatants dressed and looked like ordinary people who had collided into each other while walking. Then, they became aggressive.

“Are you blind?”

“What’s the matter?”

“F*ck! Still being so unreasonable after bumping into someone? F*ck you!”

This was similar to the daily incidents in Lan City.

The two instantly started fighting.

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan had spent little time outside the palace and had not seen many brawls. They immediately became high-spirited and started cheering and applauding.

This was commonplace in Dayao.

However, this was China. The act of two ladies cheering and applauding attracted strange stares.

Ren Baqian wasn’t bothered by it and actually found it quite interesting. This wasn’t because of the strength of the fighters, but due to their attitude. He felt that both of them were eager to test each other out just now and immediately started fighting when they both refused to give in.

They weren’t irascible, but it was more like they were simply searching for someone to test their levels.

As Ren Baqian stood aside and watched, he realized that both of them were almost at the Earth Wheel level. Even though they didn’t really have the skills, their speed and strength were actually not bad.

He was slightly surprised to see such strength on the street. It had already been four years since China had announced the [Fifteenth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation]. These guys were already considered pretty talented for achieving such strength after only four years of practice. They had already distanced themselves from ordinary people.

However, after thinking about it, this seemed pretty normal. After all, China’s population was four times greater than that of Great Xia. The people here led wealthy lives and were physically fit. Compared to malnourished people in feudal societies, talented people were naturally more likely to appear.

“This is an era of great change,” Ren Baqian muttered to himself.

It was still alright now. It hadn’t been too long and the influence wasn’t that great yet.

Once more people attained the Man Wheel level and above, people would start to see the profound impact of the [Fifteenth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation].

Because, in the city, if Man Wheel experts were more prudent, they would already be able to escape pursuits and even dodge bullets.
