Chapter 512: Interchangeable Temperaments

What a joke. How could Lady Zhao possibly be afraid of real-life, regular dogs?

No dog would be able to withstand her staff.

Those so-called “evil dogs” from the gaming world were nothing like their real-life counterparts!

With that thought, she chose to leave. She had no intention of committing animal abuse in public…

A few days later, Zhao Youyue received Su Li’s invitation to go to her house to play. After all, it was already late August. Her University would start on September.

Su Li’s house was in Jiangnan Province. To be precise, it was in a village in a sleepier, slower part of Jiangnan Province. It was not even accessible by highspeed rail. Therefore, Zhao Youyue and Su Li first had to get there by bus. Then, they had to switch to car where paddy fields greeted them from both sides before finally arriving at the village.

Su Li was most apologetic, mainly because she had not yet learned how to drive. She had often disregarded the necessity of the skill. Modern public transportation was so well-developed that public buses should be able to take people just about anywhere, in big cities at least…

Su Li had miscalculated. She did not expect going back to her house to be such a complicated matter, mainly because she seldom had to return home since being independent. Her parents were simply too annoying, constantly urging her to leave behind her peaceful bachelorette life. Fortunately, she had become extremely famous within the manga and illustration world. She had an extremely high income which also meant her being financially independent, and was the pillar among her family. Therefore, her elders could not make decisions for her. Ordinary men would feel inadequate. After all, money was the modern age’s lingua franca. She could do anything she wanted with it.

Su Li found it highly embarrassing to go back home via Lady Zhao’s car. Even if Zhao Youyue had insisted, she would have been too embarrassed to accept the offer. Fortunately, Lady Zhao had been as empathetic as always. She smiled and said, “I’m not some sheltered, pampered lady. It’s just a few hours of sitting in a bus. With my phone in hand, time would always fly…”

Su Li was most touched, seeing how Lady Zhao was willing to put herself through great inconvenience for her sake. Su Li made up her mind to pick up driving and chauffer Lady Zhao herself in the future. It was her only way of making amends.

The two of them hopped up a big bus. Once again, long-haired Zhao Youyue started drawing in stares like moth to flame. Was that really the case? More than her pretty face, more than her long hair, it was her freaking gem-encrusted walking cane – or as she called it – her staff. Ordinary people might dismiss such a staff as fake. The gemstone had to be fake. With the advancement of technology, synthetic products sometimes even surpassed their originators…

Well, they had it right. That huge, giant gemstone at the top of Zhao Youyue’s staff was indeed a fake. But anything fake in Zhao Youyue’s hands had to be the real thing!

Take a look at Su Li. Lady Zhao’s sudden interest in staffs was a mystery to her. Nevertheless, all she needed was to look upon the gorgeous staff, and immediately assumed that it had to be extremely valuable. This was just like how players had reacted in “Tale of Wuxia 3”. Not once was Jane Doe Su’s “Flying Sword of Myriad Colors” taken as what it was.

That sword had been nothing but a beautiful ornament. Someone like Jane Doe Su could wield grass and massacre a town if she wanted to, what of a sword?

If she could turn a blade of grass into a sword, why not wave a cane about!
