As night falls, the streets are lit with energy-saving lights, without flickering or colorful colors, and the street lights of Dongting City in the new era only have one color—white, neat and atmospheric, and rigid and regular.
Although at the beginning of the federation, there were older generations who would miss the colorful nightlife before the new era and the neon metropolis with lights that never go out at night, but as time went by, the old people passed away, and the natives of the new era earth federation did not have any Having seen the city that never sleeps, the strict management of the federation, and the unromantic streetlight colors, there is no objection.
For Ma Shuangshuang, who grew up on suspended buses and subways, it was the first time she sat in a government limousine and saw the street scene reversed and the street lights reflected on the window glass, which made her nervous and uneasy.
Ma Yiming's waist was very straight, although restrained, after all, he was a nineteen-year-old boy who had never seen the real world, so he still left traces.
Only Lin Luoran's children's shoes, whose biological age has spanned from before the new era to today's "moving museum", leaned on the soft leather chair in the back seat, and almost fell asleep.
The banquet is held on the seventeenth floor of the City Hall. As the second most prominent building in Dongting City, the City Hall is second only to the Dongting City Library in scale. It is located in Yueyang District. Starting from Ma’s Villa, you need to pass through the city. Lin Luoran They came a bit late. Tonight's celebration banquet was full of celebrities. There were many reporters from TV stations and electronic newspapers. The camera was improving, and the moment the shutter was pressed, the flash flashed with some agility and grace.
It is no different from the red carpet more than 300 years ago.
Lin Luoran looked out of the car window, looking at those beautiful men and women wearing old-fashioned dresses, and for a moment thought that she was attending a slightly larger-scale ordinary reception three hundred years ago.
Seeing Ma Shuangshuang grabbing the hem of the gift skirt into a mess, Lin Luoran asked the driver to take them to the side door.
Ma Shuangshuang gave her a grateful smile, and Ma Yiming's javelin-like body relaxed slightly.
Lin Luoran doesn't care about being exposed to the public, but she doesn't want to compete with the so-called celebrities who rely on the news for space—it is estimated that her believers will see the photos of "Fairy Chenxin" appearing on the Dongting Entertainment Express like an entertainment star, which is also a blow to their pious beliefs .
The place where they got off was a somewhat lonely underground parking lot, and it turned out that Lin Luoran was not the only one who chose to go through the small door. At least she saw another black car coming in.
It's not a government license plate, which has some meaning.
She glanced inadvertently, and a girl wearing a top hat with a black veil covering most of her face was surrounded and got out of the car. The strength of the bodyguards seemed to be of a higher level than the few trash from Longao Trading Company.
The girl exuded a sense of coolness all over her body, her chin was soft and her gauze hat was exposed, and she was well dressed. Her temperament, although Ma Shuangshuang was thin, was more lovable.
"It's a pity..." Lin Luoran withdrew her consciousness and whispered something, but the two siblings walking beside her couldn't hear what she was saying clearly.
Soon on the 17th floor, Lin Luoran saw that Ma Shuangshuang was nervous, so she motioned for her to go in with Ma Yiming's arm. This was also a polite way before the new era.
Unexpectedly, just as the brothers and sisters stepped into the magnificent banquet hall, a strong beam of incandescent light struck down.
The strong light makes people can't help squinting. Under such a beam of light, every subtlety of a person will be maximized. Fortunately, the clothes of the Ma brothers and sisters fit well, and the jewelry was gorgeous. Instead of losing face like some dark villains wished, they managed to gain a little limelight.
Ma Yiming was tall enough, but he was a bit thin. With this tailored tuxedo, he had the delicate and pale aristocratic beauty of a top-line male model in Europe before the new era.
Although Ma Shuangshuang is still a young girl, her green retro long dress completely conceals her lack of figure, and a jade bracelet wrapped in silver threads makes her slightly pale complexion a different kind of softness. The hair is loose, and the hem has a natural curly curvature. Only the front hair is pulled up, and she is wearing a small emerald crown that is exquisite, but it will not steal her green face, making her seem to be preserved in the form of words , only seen in the mountain elves described by European literati before the epoch.
"Hey, who are these two..."
"I don't know, I haven't seen it before."
"Is that silk dress on her? It's really luxurious, and that set of emerald jewelry..."
Discussions came from the corner of the reception, eight women were everywhere, Ma Yiming and his younger sister seemed to be calmly waiting for the beam of light to hit the next guest. Those veiled or bright prying gazes from the corner made the young man even regret for a moment—the glory of the family does not need such a fake reception to reappear, right? They stand out, except for the gorgeous clothes and expensive jewelry, no one even knows the origin, so what is going on.
Lin Luoran suddenly appeared beside him, and Ma Yiming was startled: "Aunt Lin, where did you go just now?"
The lamp post was knocked down, Lin Luoran disappeared under the bright light without being noticed, and suddenly appeared in the corner, Ma Yiming was frightened half to death.
Lin Luoran changed the subject and asked, "How is it? How did you feel about the banquet?"
How does it feel
The vaulted hall of thousands of square meters is filled with extravagant flower bonsai. The crystal chandelier is large and gorgeous. On the small stage, there are several women in white clothes playing the violin instrument that is very popular in the new era. You can't tell whether it is good or bad, and the movement is quite moving.
The aroma of the high-grade mutated animal meat is intoxicating, and it is placed on the long tables around the venue together with the luxurious milk cakes for unlimited consumption. There are also waiters passing by with trays, and the red wine under the crystal lamp is refracted by the glass, and the color becomes more and more intoxicating.
Everything seems to be arranged according to the dinner party information left before the new era, and there is no fault in it, making Ma Yiming feel perfect and at the same time, a kind of "just so".
After all, Ma Shuangshuang was straightforward: "It's no different from the ones in the old movies."
Lin Luoran stopped a waiter, took two glasses of wine, and handed one to Ma Yiming. Regardless of the curious and longing eyes of the minor Ma Shuangshuang, he took a sip and smiled:
"It's still different. Before the new era, it was necessary to give a tip to show that you are satisfied with the service of the waiter. Now, it is impossible for the customer and the waiter to sit next to each other, exchange their respective accounts, and then transfer crystal coins to pay the tip..."
As soon as she told it, this scene was formed in the minds of Ma Yiming and his sister. Ma Shuangshuang couldn't help but burst out laughing when he thought of how a high-ranking celebrity whispered to the waiter in order to give a tip.
"Miss Lin is really humorous."
The middle-aged man who had been listening secretly in the shadow for a long time couldn't help but chime in. He moved a step, and his face was exposed from the shadow.
Ordinary, but somewhat mature and charming, too familiar to the citizens of Dongting City, Ma Yiming called out in a low voice: "You are Mr. Pang."
Mr. Pang smiled, nodded acquiescingly, and was close to the people as always.
Of course his name is not "Mr. Pang". In fact, as the youngest member of the Federation who is expected to enter the Senate and become the most popular, he is in charge of Dongting City, the most important city at the beginning of the Earth Federation in the new era. Huo, with extremely moderate political methods, was called Mr. Pang by the citizens of Dongting City because of a speech he gave at the beginning of his tenure, instead of the formal but distant title of Mayor Pang.
He took the initiative to come to say hello, but Ma Shuangshuang didn't understand what it meant, so Ma Yiming was absolutely flattered.
As for Lin Luoran, toasting to him and nodding his head was considered a response, which somewhat made people feel that she was overbearing. At least because of Mr. Pang, the nympho Mr. Pang, the two noble ladies not far away have a lot of opinions on Lin Luoran, a "little girl" who doesn't know what to do.
Pang Xian looked at Lin Luoran from a close distance. His skin was translucent without any blemishes. He was not sure if she was the person he was looking for. After three hundred years, a person still looks like a person in his early twenties, even if he is an Alpha It is not easy for the alliance's technology to do so.
There have been no traces of cultivators for nearly three hundred years. If there were not video files on file, he would not know if those former Chinese cultivators existed.
It is said that the woman in front of her is a nun.
Pang Xianzhong was secretly vigilant. Everyone could see that the Alpha Alliance was suppressing monks. This matter should be handled more conspiratorially. Loran.
"Mr. Pang, it's your turn to speak." The chief secretary reminded Pang Xianzhong in a low voice. He smiled at Lin Luoran and strode onto the stage.
Ma Yiming stared at Aunt Lin's back, wondering what the origin of the mysterious Aunt Lin was, even Mr. Pang valued her so much.
The mystery of Lin Luoran can be seen from the plants that appeared overnight in the yard of Ma's villa. They taste delicious and are not ripened with nutrient solution at all. Ma Yiming even feels that the fertile soil of Dongting City can't grow such plants. of natural crops.
How did Aunt Lin do it? Cured sister Ma Shuangshuang's disease.
Did he know that a person like Bao Honglai would never sign the "House Purchase Contract" that left the Public Security Department of the City Hall speechless. But if the contract is fake, someone from the city hall should have come to the door to make trouble.
With a completely unpredictable strength, it can come and go freely among the mutated beasts. Although it was not shocking, Ma Yiming could clearly feel that Aunt Lin only exerted a very small force to defend the city that day, and she was able to handle it with ease.
How strong is Aunt Lin? He faintly felt that it was definitely not as simple as the existing classification of martial arts.
Martial arts of level nine and above are called "great martial arts masters". Aunt Lin is a great martial artist? Or, the more mysterious spiritual powerhouse...
…
"...the more powerful people in Dongting City are, and the safety of the people is guaranteed, the more technological progress can be created for development and reconstruction. Restoring the mother planet of the earth to its original appearance has always been the unswerving goal of the Federation."
Pang Xianzhong's words were sincere, and there was a kind of calming power in his speech, which made his speech very convincing. It was obviously a long-standing cliché, and there was a lot of applause from the audience.
Especially those reserved ladies, some of whom have already moved to Yuexing, came here specially to listen to Mr. Pang's speech today, and naturally clapped their hands red, especially applauding.
The charm of a political star is extraordinary. Lin Luoran happened to catch a glimpse of the black-veiled girl who walked through the parking lot like them. She stared at Mr. Pang and clapped her hands very much, revealing a little of the girl's heart.
... Kill all the young and old? Lin Luoran was in a cold sweat.
She put down the wine glass, ever since Mr. Pang started talking to her, Lin Luoran felt a scorching gaze staring at her, which was not filthy and had nothing to do with Fengyue. She looked away calmly with her spiritual sense, but couldn't help but let out a little gasp.
Unexpectedly, it was a slightly extravagant, elegantly dressed young woman, staring at her direction and bursting into tears, with huge silent teardrops streaming down her face, her expression was very excited.
Lin Luoran saw a familiar look between her brows.
She still couldn't remember which old person it was, but after Penglai Xianshan condensed the godhead, it changed drastically, and the extremely quiet sea of consciousness suddenly parted a silver thread, rushing towards the eyebrows of the crying woman staring at her in the corner.
Lin Luoran "looked" at the closely connected line of faith between the two, as well as the familiarity between the brows, and suddenly realized that, just as he was about to comfort the young woman, he heard the microphone on the stage rang again.
Mr. Pang's voice was a bit rough, and he didn't see much joy. He said welcome words, which made people hear the rising political star's disobedience.
"The Weir family of Star, a fourth-level member of the alliance, arrived on the top floor of the city hall three minutes ago. It seems that they are going to add a surprise to our reception."
…
surprise? For most people it is.
In particular, as a member of the fourth-level member of the Alpha League, the guest of the Weir family from the star Kaiser planet, with a handsome appearance similar to that of the Eurasian on Earth, how many young girls with pink eyes have pink bubbles
But what Mr. Pang hides under his calm face is shock.
What good things can people from the Weier family do when they come to Earth? As a fourth-level member star, their technology did not open the earth by one or two steps. These strange double-eyed Kaisers have a similar appearance to humans on earth, but a more perfect appearance... Did they come to earth to visit the miracle after the disaster? King's mentality
Pang Xianzhong hated other alien members of the alliance, and their undisguised disdain for the mother planet of the earth-they called the earth a cursed wild planet.
Like this ville. Colin is a person with a high status in the Weier family. He has been on Earth for a month and lingered, which put a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
However, why did this handsome young man go to the corner? Pang Xianzhong's face became more and more ugly, because he found that Colin, the direction he was going to was obvious - Lin Luoran and the three were new faces in the banquet, and they were rejected by others. At the long dining table in the west, she was the only one standing there with the Ma sisters That's all.
The target of the Weier family is Lin Luoran
Pang Xianzhong was startled by this realization. Lin Luoran's appearance is very in line with the aristocratic temperament of Planet Kaiser, who always pays attention to inheritance. Is it hunting for beauty, or is there some other purpose? No matter what it is, Pang Xianzhong feels that the situation is quite difficult.
ville. Colin stepped forward and brought the banquet's attention to Lin Luoran.
The beauties who suddenly gained a sense of presence are second to none. The most important thing is that the noble youths of this fourth-level member star, most of them walked in front of Lin Luoran, who was very strange to the people in the dinner party, raised their tone, and uttered an interstellar lingua franca :
"Beautiful lady, have we met somewhere?"
The interstellar language is very standard, the male lead is very handsome, and the female lead is also a perfect match. This kind of scene with the right time, place and people is generally called "encounter".
Only Lin Luoran looked cold, feeling like he was being molested
It's not a good feeling to be teased by a kid. She opened her mouth coldly, and dropped a sentence that caught everyone's eyes:
"You don't speak Earth language?"
—Hey, shouldn't you be blushing shyly at this time? The noble ladies were indignant, and deeply despised Lin Luoran's behavior of pretending to be aloof and trying to catch his own money.
Pang Xianzhong laughed imperceptibly, and Bao Honglai laughed too, hiding in the dark.
The one laughing is that Lin Luoran is probably the target person, the other laughing is that Lin Luoran offended a member of the fourth-level member of the Star Family under the watchful eyes of everyone, and his house will probably be returned soon.
And the young woman who was crying excitedly when she saw Lin Luo blushed, and clenched her fists because of Colin's disrespectful tone.
It was the anger and resentment that the gods in his heart were underestimated, Jeanville. Colin looked around as if he had been pricked by a needle.
