Luo Ling opened the curtain and saw a naked body, then immediately closed it again.
Luo Ling was silent.
"Luo Ling, what's wrong?" Chi Nu's puzzled voice sounded, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Why are you taking a shower?"
Luo Ling's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a little bit unbelievable.
Did she see it wrong
"Can't I take a shower?" Chi Nu asked curiously, "Didn't you and Sister Yao Ji want me to take care of myself more before?"
"That being said..."
But it's still strange.
Before, Chi Nu had to be forced by Luo Ling to take a bath, and it was probably the same when Yao Ji took her with her.
"Come in, I'm dressed."
Chi Nu said, and there were some rustling sounds again.
Luo Ling stood at the door of the tent for a while before walking in again.
"Akagi, you are..."
After entering, Luo Ling couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Oh my god, what did she see...
Chi Nu actually imitated Yao Ji and tied up her long hair, almost weaving it into a complicated and beautiful hairstyle.
"What's wrong?"
She looked up, her delicate lips tinged with a hint of red—she was even wearing lipstick!
Not only that, the light rouge on her face and the obvious outline on her eyebrows all indicate one thing.
--Akagi actually knows how to put on makeup.
This was something Luo Ling had never thought of, because she didn't know how.
It must be said that after dressing up, Chi Nu really looked like a stunning beauty. If she grew up a little more, I'm afraid even Yue Jian, the most beautiful woman Luo Ling had ever seen, would be incomparable to her.
Even if I can't have the same proud figure as Yuejian.
"Sister Yaoji has to do this in front of the mirror every few days. I've learned it by watching." Chi Nu closed the small box and asked curiously, "Luo Ling, don't you know how to do it?"
"... ...
Luo Ling didn't want to answer.
She refused to admit that she couldn't do it, after all, she had done it several times before!
Although the results are always somewhat disappointing.
Oh, anyway, it's barely satisfactory!
"Why do you suddenly want to dress up?"
Luo Ling sat down and asked.
"I've been hurt by a ghost, so I'm sure I'll become very ugly in the future." Chi Nu was a little depressed, "Sister Yao Ji said that I'm actually very pretty, and asked me to stop being sloppy.
"But I always feel it's troublesome. Anyway, I can consider it when I grow up. But now... I don't have much time to look good."
After all, Chi Nu is still a girl. Although she doesn't care about her image on weekdays, she actually cares about it very much.
But she knew that she was very beautiful, and no matter how willful she was, that would not change.
But now... change has occurred.
"Luo Ling, do I look good?"
Chi Nu raised her head and looked directly at Luo Ling, her pair of alluring amber eyes making people sink into her.
“Of course it’s beautiful.
Luo Ling nodded. She was also a girl, and there were many different faces.
Even she had to admit that none of her forms could compare to the Akane.
"Who do you think is prettier, me or Sister Yao Ji?" Chi Nu asked again.
What's the fatal problem
Wait, the one asking the question is Akane, she probably really wants to know this.
"Of course you look better." Luo Ling held up his chin and said, "Why don't you get it a little dirty? I'm afraid others will miss you if they see you."
Unlike Chi Nu's personality, her appearance is soft and delicate, with a hint of alluring charm, yet not a bit vulgar.
Even a tattered dress could not diminish her charm in the slightest, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.
"I don't."
It was indeed a Akane-like answer.
"Sister Yao Ji also said that I am prettier than her. It seems she didn't lie to me." Chi Nu nodded thoughtfully.
"You should take a rest first. I'll watch you from the side." Luo Ling said, "When you've rested, we'll leave."
"good."
Akane didn't ask why, she just nodded and said.
She got down from the stool, grabbed a piece of cloth, and lay down on the ground to sleep.
Her behavior, however, is completely different from her current appearance.
"Sleeping with full makeup on..."
Looking at the naked woman who was already snoring slightly, Luo Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She regained her composure slightly and refocused her attention on a jade slip that she kept close to her body.
This was a gift from Yao Ji, and it contained a large amount of information about the war between ghosts and gods. Luo Ling only took a cursory look at it last time and did not study it in depth.
Now Luo Ling happened to have some free time, and he could use the information in this jade slip, combined with the descriptions of the old general and Chi Nu, to speculate on the exact situation of the current disaster caused by ghosts and gods.
Thousands of years ago, after the large-scale disasters caused by ghosts and gods came to an abrupt end for unknown reasons, small-scale disasters caused by ghosts and gods have occurred again, but each time was larger than the current one.
Yes, this was an unexpectedly short and weak disaster caused by ghosts and gods.
The only difference is that this time the scope of impact is far greater than before.
It can even be compared to the large-scale disasters caused by ghosts and gods in the past.
This is never a good sign.
"Besides, at this point in time, what is the situation in other places..."
Not to mention the still closed Victoria, what is more important is the "present world" of the Great Xia Imperial City, the remaining Valhalla, and... Columbia.
The "Valhalla" plan should have occurred at about the same time as the "legend" from ancient times, so this can be ruled out.
The Great Xia Imperial City has also passed its most dangerous moment. The two emperors used their last lives to pave the way for the Great Xia Imperial City.
Only one thing.
"So, Columbia... could it be that this is when it was destroyed
When this guess emerged in his mind, Luo Ling's heart couldn't help but tighten for a while.
Chapter 120: The First Night (5k)
If we calculate based on the time node, it will indeed be around this time, as long as Luo Ling's previous speculation is correct.
The destruction of Colombia was guided by the Messenger of Doom and spread by puppet rumors. It was a completely out-of-control disaster. Until the void completely annihilated the entire Colombia, the process of the birth of "Doomsday" was greatly advanced.
Logically speaking, it should have spread to other places of origin and caused quite an impact.
But the fact is, in the files of past records of the Great Xia Imperial City, there seems to be no knowledge of this.
As for the other two places of origin... Unfortunately, there are no records that are so old.
Victoria is in an infinite time loop, not to mention Valhalla, which has been devastated by disasters.
According to previous speculation, "Legend" is the "Transmutation" rule separated from the Great Xia Imperial City to counter the spread of "Doomsday". The disaster caused by the destruction of Columbia may be directly reflected in the "Legend"...
Of course, these are just Luo Ling's speculations.
In addition, Luo Ling has another speculation about this inexplicable disaster caused by ghosts and gods.
She glanced at the sleeping Chi Nu, a complicated look flashed across her face, but she still focused her attention on the jade slip.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Luo Ling woke up from being immersed in the contents of the jade slip, he turned his head slightly and was almost startled.
Chi Nu sat beside her, staring at her intently. Her little face was no longer tense as before, but revealed a bit of curiosity... This looked more like the expression she should have at her age.
However, after noticing that Luo Ling had noticed her gaze, Chi Nu began to frown again and pretend to be cool.
"I see you've been in a daze, Luo Ling."
"... I'm watching this."
Luo Ling waved the jade slip in his hand.
"Have you been watching this all night?" Chi Nu frowned slightly.
"To be exact, it was a whole day."
Luo Ling pointed at the little bit of setting sun shining through the door. Chi Nu had lay down to rest at dawn, and now it was already dusk.
"oh."
Akane reacted, but her unchanged expression made it hard to tell whether she felt embarrassed or not.
"By the way, Luo Ling, I don't know why I'm not hungry anymore." Chi Nu touched her flat stomach and said with a frown, "I remember I was a little hungry before I went to bed, but after I got up, I didn't feel anything."
“…Is that so?”
As Luo Ling spoke, his eyes naturally shifted away.
Of course she knew why. After embarking on the path, Akane was no longer an ordinary person, and her way of obtaining energy was no longer limited to food.
As long as you practice the path, you will have enough power, not only to release your abilities, but also to maintain basic survival.
But in reality, if one wants to achieve this, the average person with special abilities must almost reach the upper level, but Akane has been awakened for less than a few days and is able to achieve this on her own.
If she were in Doomsday Messenger, Akane had already met the requirements to become a "messenger horse", and she didn't even make any effort for it.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Her aptitude to be close to "Doomsday" is so strong that it is terrifying. No wonder Yao Ji is so worried about her.
Unfortunately...
Luo Ling shook his head and stopped thinking about these trivial things.
"Pack up, we are leaving." Luo Ling put away the jade slip and said in a deep voice.
"Don't you need to rest?" Chi Nu asked, "It's already evening."
"No need." Luo Ling shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I'm worried about the same situation as last time."
Once you fall asleep, you will return to the real world, and then a month will have passed.
What’s more worrying is that more than just one month has passed.
"oh."
The red girl responded and jumped down from the stool, and a crisp jingle sounded.
Luo Ling looked at her white bare feet stepping on the ground and asked,
"Aren't you going to put on your shoes
Before, the naked girl always looked sloppy, so it was normal for her to be without shoes, but now that she was dressed up beautifully, it seemed a little inconsistent to run around barefoot.
"No, I'm not used to it."
Chi Nu shook her head, and then began to skillfully pack some things that might be useful on the road in the tent.
Seeing Chi Nu refused, Luo Ling stopped forcing her.
She walked out of the tent and saw a figure sitting by a campfire in the distance, with sizzling meat roasting in the fire.
