Miss Luo Yan’s Feet Are Buried With Corpses v3c50

Witch’s Night: Chapter 50 Encounter with Dawn Again

“Eeya eeya, ten guards…”

“Miss Luo Yan, could you please stop singing… it sounds creepy.”

“Eh, I think it sounds quite nice, but it seems many people don’t like it, like Sister Qingling.”

Luo Yan touched her chin. This nursery rhyme she heard in Lannister left a deep impression on her, and she liked to hum it from time to time.

“Cecilia likes it! Big Sister Luo Yan sings so well!”

Cecilia immediately raised her hand and hopped slightly, her small face puffed up with a serious expression. “Cecilia feels very safe and comfortable listening to it!”

“I don’t deny that it sounds nice, it’s just… it would be better if you sang more normal songs.” Xinya sighed.

She increasingly felt that what she drew wasn’t an SSR. It wasn’t that Miss Luo Yan had a bad temper or anything; in fact, Miss Luo Yan could almost be said to be the gentlest girl she had ever met.

It was just… some of her quirks were truly scary.

For example, liking to make food that caused flashbacks, liking to drag people to the legendary Void—Xinya hadn’t experienced this yet, but Anna and Cecilia’s expressions spoke volumes about how much more dangerous this act was than Miss Luo Yan’s cooking.

Even the song Miss Luo Yan was casually humming now made Xinya feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Although Cecilia also hummed along with Luo Yan, she didn’t bring the same strange feeling to Xinya as Luo Yan did.

“Pray to the Saint…”

Xinya repeatedly performed the Noah Holy Church prayer ritual several times before recovering.

Not only that, Miss Luo Yan didn’t seem to have any concept of common sense.

The three of them had just finished visiting several tourist attractions in the Noah Church and even bought quite a few souvenirs.

…All paid for by Xinya.

When Luo Yan took out the Lannister Black Card to buy a small pendant, Xinya’s reaction was even more exaggerated than Anna’s.

After asking, she learned that Luo Yan didn’t carry any money at all, let alone Cecilia.

So, Xinya could only pay for it herself.

Fortunately, these trinkets weren’t very expensive. Even buying a few hundred of them probably wouldn’t cost Xinya a day’s wages.

Xinya didn’t have the nerve to expense this small amount of money. It was spent, it wasn’t that she felt the pinch, but it was a bit… annoying.

In short, it was like taking care of children…

To be precise, Luo Yan had only been in the present world for a few months.

Although she was adapting very quickly, there were still many aspects she couldn’t change in such a short time.

Approaching noon, to prevent Miss Luo Yan from suggesting cooking herself, Xinya booked a good, high-end restaurant in advance, the kind where one meal could cost several times Hua Qingling’s savings.

Of course, these expenses were covered by the Noah Church, there was still no need for Luo Yan’s Lannister Black Card…

To put it bluntly, the greatest practical significance of this thing was as a status symbol, representing Lannister’s friendship. The unlimited spending was more like a bonus.

Considering that Luo Yan was from Yan City, Xinya booked a restaurant with an Eastern style.

Before Cecilia complained about being hungry, Xinya had already brought them to the restaurant entrance.

As a professional receptionist, route planning was a basic skill, as long as the map she had was correct.

However, as they entered the restaurant, Luo Yan saw a familiar figure from behind.

“Hmm? She… why is she here?”

Taking the curious Cecilia with her, Luo Yan walked over.

…….

“Are… we really okay just walking in like this?”

Ling Qi asked nervously. Even though the dishes in front of her were quite sumptuous and delicious, she barely touched her chopsticks.

This was, after all, a restaurant with an Eastern style. Even if it was high-end, it would still have a main dining area with round tables for eight.

The bustling dining area was filled with people from different regions, most of them travelers from afar.

—As the capital of the Free Federation and the land of the Saint, countless people yearned for Noah. The tourism tax revenue alone was a considerable sum every year.

His Holiness personally creating several tourist attractions wasn’t just because of his personal hobby…

Compared to the nervous Ling Qi, the blue-haired twin-tailed girl beside her was nonchalantly stuffing her face with food, her muffled voice sounding,

“You… what are you afraid of? We were invited… Besides, this is Noah, no one will recognize us.”

“But, Brother…”

“How many times have I told you, don’t call me Brother here,” Alyxsia put down her chopsticks, her expression becoming more serious. “It’s best not to even call me Sister, just call me by my name.”

“Wh-, Why?” Ling Qi became even more nervous. “Are you worried about exposing that we’re from Da-…”

“Worry my ass, idiot!” Alyxsia picked up a spoon and knocked Ling Qi on the forehead, then took a sip of soup. “Don’t you think I look even younger than you?”

“That’s true…”

Ling Qi rubbed the spot on her forehead where she was knocked and sighed.

She picked up some food, but still couldn’t eat much.

Dawn, as the most powerful human organization besides the Free Federation, naturally also received an invitation to the Ten Cities Council.

The Twelve Saints, in the name of the Saint, summoned all forces. Even though Dawn had just fought a war with one of the mega-cities in the Free Federation, there was no reason to refuse this summons.

However, since they had just fought not long ago, and now they had to sit down and discuss things peacefully, both Dawn and the Free Federation inevitably felt some awkwardness.

Therefore, to avoid an overly awkward situation, Dawn didn’t come to Noah through official channels, but took a regular Lifeline like ordinary civilians.

And after arriving in Noah, they kept a low profile, not drawing too much attention, let alone staying in the designated accommodations near “The Ark” like Luo Yan and the others.

Fortunately, the members of Dawn were used to roughing it, and at least the organization didn’t mistreat them financially for this risky trip to Noah.

As for Dawn’s representatives…

As the most talented young member of Dawn, Alyxsia had always been highly regarded.

But her performance in the Yan City war wasn’t satisfactory, so as punishment, she was assigned this rather troublesome task.

Ling Qi was there for another reason. Before Mister Nine passed away, she was the one who stayed by his side until he went to the Ember Furnace.

Putting aside her abilities and her identity before joining Dawn, this alone gave Ling Qi a reason to attend the Ten Cities Council.

However, returning to a mega-city after so long, and to the headquarters of all mega-cities, Ling Qi felt somewhat conflicted.

After all, she was still on the wanted list…

But this wasn’t unusual in Dawn. Alyxsia was also on the wanted list, or rather, almost all the Cadres of Dawn were currently on the Free Federation’s wanted list, except for those who were more… law-abiding… or cowardly.

“I’m still a little worried…”

The worried Ling Qi hadn’t been sleeping well these past few days. In her dreams, her master kept calling her name.

After waking up, she felt as if the deceased Mister Nine was still sitting beside her, still comforting her softly.

It had to be said that, as an ability user who was quite ordinary besides her spatial abilities, Ling Qi’s experiences in Yan City were quite memorable, especially Ghost Town, which had left a deep psychological scar on her, one that still hadn’t faded.

“Don’t always think about these troublesome things. The people who know you in Jade City definitely won’t be here, and it’s hard to say how many people from other mega-cities would recognize you.”

Alyxsia stuffed her face with a few bites of meat and said nonchalantly, “Did you think that just because you visited that Ghost Town once, the ghosts inside would chase after you relentlessly?

“Don’t be ridiculous, this is Noah, the land of the Saint. If ordinary Devil’s Minions dared to come here, they would just be giving the Holy Knights easy targets.”

Although Alyxsia’s comfort was as jarring as ever, it at least reassured Ling Qi a little.

“Thank you, Bro… Alyxsia, I feel much better.”

Ling Qi quickly corrected herself and then picked up her bowl, her expression relaxing quite a bit.

“That terrifying memory is still a nightmare I can’t forget. I really hope I can forget it soon, especially that Luo…”

“Excuse me, may I sit here?”

A light and pleasant voice sounded beside Ling Qi’s ear, and she immediately replied subconsciously,

“Of course, please sit.”

The restaurant’s dining area was packed, and the eight-person tables were originally designed for eight people, so sharing a table wasn’t unusual.

“Thank you.”

The light and pleasant voice said softly, and then Ling Qi only felt a flash of silver-white before her eyes, gently landing beside her.

Before Ling Qi could see who this fellow diner was, Alyxsia’s stunned expression caught her attention,

“Brother… ah, no, Alyxsia, what’s wrong?”

“It really is you, I thought I recognized you.”

The light and pleasant voice sounded again, and Ling Qi turned her head, her pupils immediately contracting in shock.

She took a few steps back in astonishment, rubbed her eyes, and took a few more steps back.

“Luo… Miss Luo Yan?”

“Long time no see,” Luo Yan looked at this woman whom she had briefly interacted with in Ghost Town and couldn’t help but sigh. “I’m glad you still remember me, Ling Qi.”

Luo Yan paused, turned to look at the blue-haired, twin-tailed girl, and said with a smile, “‘Mobile Fortress’… I remember that’s your title. We actually met not long ago.”

From the end of the Yan City war until now, it had only been less than two weeks, so it could indeed be said that they had met recently.

However, their last encounter hadn’t been very friendly.

To be precise, Luo Yan had given Alyxsia the most humiliating defeat of her life.

Not only were all her mechanical equipment destroyed, but she almost lost her life, ultimately escaping in a panic.

And among the enemies Alyxsia faced at that time, there wasn’t even a single “Peril” level ability user.

Luo Yan didn’t have a good impression of this blue-haired, twin-tailed girl who looked like an older woman, and she believed the other party felt the same way about her.

“Heh… what are you doing here?”

Alyxsia put down her chopsticks, her expression turning cold.

She couldn’t calmly chat with an enemy she had just fought a life-or-death battle with not long ago.

“About the same as you, invited to attend the Ten Cities Council.” Luo Yan unceremoniously poured herself a cup of free tea from the table. “Of course, I don’t actually have anything to do, I’m just here to travel.”

“Ah? Travel…”

Ling Qi was dumbfounded by these words, but Alyxsia didn’t believe Luo Yan’s explanation and just sneered,

“Heh, I’ll remember the crushing defeat you gave me. One day, I’ll return the favor double!”

Although Alyxsia was hot-tempered and impulsive, never thinking about the consequences of her actions, she could at least distinguish between occasions.

This was Noah, not that remote backwater Yan City. The reason Alyxsia didn’t attack immediately was because she was wary of the Holy Knights here.

The Holy Knights, renowned throughout the human world, were the ancestors of all ability user squad tactical planning.

A special operations squad composed of a high-level ability user leading a team of lower-level ability users with various specialties, this squad organization originated from the Holy Knights.

Their combat power came from the tacit understanding and cooperation within the squad. In the face of a large-scale Holy Knight squad, Dawn’s elite squads were a joke.

Even if Alyxsia gathered several Dawn elite squads, it probably wouldn’t be enough to withstand a single attack from the Holy Knights, let alone the fact that she was alone now.

Luo Yan’s situation was simpler. She just saw Ling Qi, remembered the events in Ghost Town, and came over to say hello.

Who would have thought that the person burying her head in her food next to Ling Qi was Alyxsia, whom she had just had a physical altercation with not long ago. The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

However, because Luo Yan had weak emotions, which resulted in a slightly expressionless face, it was difficult to discern her mood from her expression.

Luo Yan directly ignored Alyxsia’s harsh words and turned to ask Ling Qi,

“Where is Grifres? Didn’t he come?”

After all, they were the Ghost Town trio (not really) back then. Honestly, Luo Yan missed him a little.

“Brother Grifres… He, he’s resting at the inn…”

Ling Qi thought to herself, Brother, you’re also being remembered by the ghosts of Ghost Town, then lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Luo Yan.

“Hmm? Miss Luo Yan, we have a reserved suite, there’s no need to share a table with others in the dining area.”

Just then, Xinya, who finally found Luo Yan after she suddenly disappeared, rushed over, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

She had thought that this Granny had gotten lost, but she didn’t expect her to be sharing a table with others in the dining area…

To be honest, after spending this time together, Xinya increasingly felt that nothing Miss Luo Yan did would be surprising.

“Just meeting old friends, catching up.” Luo Yan shrugged.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Xinya, Alyxsia’s eyes turned dangerous. “Who are you?”

To actually be with this extremely dangerous “Miss Luo Yan”…

“She’s our tour guide,” Luo Yan stood up, patted Xinya on the shoulder, and said, “I told you, I’m just here to travel.”

You’re the tour guide, your whole family are tour guides!

Xinya’s forehead twitched, and she nodded with a smile,

“Yes.”
