Chapter 420 (2/2)

”Lord, change your clothes and follow me to the hall. I will treat you well.” Xianji respectfully saluted me and asked us to follow her to have supper.

I changed into the clothes with different customs given to me by the maids, and then followed Xianji to the second floor from the winding ladder in the corner of the city master's palace with Xiaobai, female wolf head and Awaha clothes.

The second floor is much more spacious than the first floor. It seems to be a restaurant. There is a large long table made of stones in the middle. Various Rune flower carvings are carved on the table, giving people an ancient and luxurious feeling.

”Lord, please sit down.” Xianji stepped out slowly. Her white Tang costume, which was twice as long as her body, was very conspicuous. At that moment, Xianji really felt like a high female king. Although, Xianji's age seems obviously not big.

Avaha Yi and I looked at each other, and then sat in front of the long table, but just sitting down, Xianji shouted: ”no! Lord, you are a God. How can you sit down and wait for others? Please come to the first seat!”

Hearing Xianji's cry, I was startled. I looked at her, Xiaobai and Awaha clothes. I frowned, stood up and looked at Xianji and said, ”I'm sorry, city Lord. I don't know if you made a mistake. Although I'm a man, I'm not a holy Lord. I don't know why you call me Holy Lord?”

I didn't want to say that I'm not the Lord so early, but I still have the experience in Riyue village. I don't want people here to hold me as a God above. Although it feels great to be held by others, if I go on like this, I'm afraid I can't live without this city.

So I'd better explain my identity earlier.

”No, you are the Lord.” hearing what I said, Xianji stepped forward and said, ”our ancestors said that all men are the embodiment of the Lord. If you are a man, you are the Lord.”

”Er... And such ancestral teachings?” I was completely speechless. What kind of country is this? Men are gods. How can there be such a dog blood rule?

”Noble man, you are a man, aren't you?” Xianji slowly came to me. A pair of purple deep pool eyes looked at me and asked faintly.

”Yes...”

”Then you are the Lord,” said Xianji. ”Zu Xun said that as long as there is a man in our country, all the people in our country should entertain him and regard him as a God. Only the Lord can save our country from extinction.”

”Er... Sorry, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?” the fairy Ji said a lot to herself, but I didn't understand a word. What is saving the country, what Lord, what ancestral teachings, what are these?

Xianji blinked. A pair of holy eyes stared at me. From the beginning to now, it seems that Xianji's eyes have been on me. She hasn't left me for an inch, and hasn't seen Xiaobai or female wolf heads.

Xianji sighed faintly and said, ”Lord, there has always been a rule in our country that all guests who come to our country should be inspected by people in our country. This is for the sake of safety. Second, it is to find the body of Lord. I think I have found it today.”

”Aha?” I was even more confused. I made a pause, touched my head, looked at Xianji, and said, ”excuse me, can I ask you some questions?”

Xianji nodded. Her snow white hair trembled slightly and didn't refuse.

”I'd like to ask, where are you? I've never heard of such an independent country in the Taklimakan Desert... I came here just because I was killed accidentally. Although you say I'm the Lord, I don't know anything. Can you tell me something about your country?” This fairy Ji opened her mouth and said half ancient words, and my words seemed elegant accordingly.

There was a halo in Xianji's purple eyes. She turned to look at me, sighed gently and said, ”our country is the kingdom of aribuda. It is an independent country isolated from the outside world. Our people rarely communicate with foreigners, so foreigners do not know the existence of our country.”

”Really? By the way, what happened to the transparent wall when I came in just now? Why can I see the outside scene inside the wall, but can't see the scene in your city outside?” since Xianji seemed very polite to me, I asked all the questions in my heart.

Xianji looked at me and said faintly, ”that's Skynet. It's a barrier built by our ancestors for decades in order not to be found by foreigners.”

”But why are you isolated from the world?” I asked curiously.

Xianji looked at me and said faintly, ”our people have skin diseases and can't see the sun, so we can't leave the desert for too long. We can only be isolated from the world.”

”Well...” I suddenly realized. No wonder I think Xianji's skin is so white that it can almost be integrated with the moonlight. It turns out that her skin is too allergic to sunlight, so she can't leave here.

”So, your country... Has no day?” I thought of the key point, and I couldn't help asking.

Xianji nodded. Her purple eyes twinkled and said, ”the sky net covers the sky of the whole city. Even during the day, the sun can't shine on our country. Only the moonlight with low brightness can enter our country. Therefore, our country has only night and no day.”
