Volume 1 Chapter 134 (1/2)
Three beauties traveling together
Two days later, a horse carriage was on the road to the west of Banta City, heading for the mountain road.
A slender arm pulled open the curtain and Vivian’s little face popped out. After looking at the scenery outside, she couldn’t help saying in an emotional voice, “So dwarves live in remote mountains like this, now wonder it’s so hard to see them.”
“That is before, it’s much easier to see them now.” Still’s voice came from inside the carriage, “Vivian, when the company starts working again, if you want to see dwarves, you can just go to the magic machine workshop. There are several hundred dwarves usually there.”
“Un.” Vivian gave a strong nod, “Banta City’s people aren’t that curious about dwarves anymore, right?”
“But they should be very curious about elves, don’t you think so, young miss Agnes?” Still’s final words were actually directed at Agnes on the other side of the carriage.
Agnes honestly thought about it before saying with a nod, “It should be. We elves hate contacting humans more than dwarves, so we haven’t appeared in front of humans for several hundred years. It is normal for them to be curious about us.”
“But your tribe must show themselves to humans now. Young miss Agnes, don’t you feel worried?” Still then asked.
There was a helpless tone that filled Agnes’ voice, “There’s no other way, our tribe is facing difficulties and to solve this, only you humans seem to have a way. In order to survive, there’s no other choice even if we have to reveal ourselves to the humans again. Then again, I feel that chairman Xu is right, not every human is bad. Other than chairman Xu who is a good person that is honestly willing to help us solve our problem, there is a person as pure as an elf like Vivian. There are also noble and beautiful people like young miss Still who I also like very much.”
Still’s face became a bit red, “Many thanks for your praise, but I think that is because your luck is good and the first human you met is Xu Yi. Although this fellow is a profiteer, his character isn’t bad. Since he has promised that he would help you, he will definitely do it.”
Agnes nodded, “That’s right. After interacting with chairman Xu a few times, as well as my observations from following him, I feel he should be a trustworthy human.”
Still thought about it before suddenly saying, “That’s right, Agnes. You mentioned that you kept following Xu Yi during this time, does that mean you follow him all the time? Could it be that when Xu Yi was sleeping, bathing, and using the washroom, you also followed him?”
Agnes had a natural expression as she nodded, “Yes.”
Still opened her eyes in shock, “You’re by his side when he’s bathing? Could it be that you saw all of him?”
Agnes didn’t seem to understand what Still meant and said in a confused voice, “I saw all of him, is there anything wrong?”
Xu Yi in the front of the carriage suddenly started coughing, as he became angry in shame.
“Ke…...Ke, ke…...I say Agnes, why didn’t you tell me that you were with me when I was bathing?”
Agnes pulled open the curtain and looked at Xu Yi in the driver’s seat, “Because I felt there wasn’t any problem. Why do you and young miss Still all care about this?”
Xu Yi slowed the carriage and looked back at Agnes. Seeing her innocent expression, he could only give a helpless sigh before looking at Still with a strange expression. He said in a voice that was angry from shame, “You’re still smiling! I was unknowingly seen by her, I’m the one who suffered a loss, alright?”
Still gave a soft snort, “You are a man, what loss can you suffer. Agnes is a beautiful elven girl, the one suffering is her.”
Xu Yi shook his head, determined not to discuss this issue with Still.
But after seeing Still and Agnes’ conversation, with the relationship between them becoming much warmer, he felt more assured.
His plan today only included Agnes and himself, but he found that when they left, because Evita and Akali had already gone home, there was no one to take care of Vivian. So he could only bring her along.
And he didn’t know what was with Still, insisting on coming with him.
Xu Yi’s words were fruitless, so he was forced to agree in the end.
So Xu Yi’s travel plan that seemed quite simple included two extra girls.
But this also had an advantage. The journey was much more lively and wasn’t as boring.
Because Xu Yi invested in making a road to the dwarf tribe, the final twenty kilometers wasn’t a pure hike like before. The swaying horse carriage went along and in less than an hour, they could already see the smoke plumes filling the sky.
“Could it be that place is on fire?” Seeing the thick smoke, Still couldn’t help asking this in a surprised voice.
“No, it should be the smoke from the steel and concrete factories.” Xu Yi looked at the thick smoke that filled the sky and slightly knit his brows.
Although this scene made him remember the factories on earth and gave birth to a warm feeling, seeing this still made him remember the serious problem of pollution.
The Norma Tribe and the Angola Tribe used to be filled with beautiful scenery and environment, but since Xu Yi created the steel and concrete factories here, the smoke from the factories had ruined the environment.
