Chapter 513

Kato Kei whispered, "Princess, in your world this attire offends customs, but in this world it's perfectly normal."

Zhu Meichuo didn't understand.

How can showing so much still be considered normal!

This severely shook her worldview.

"Dear guest, you can choose any profession."

"Then choose Priest," said Kasumigaoka Uta.

"You too, guest, your stats are excellent—you can pick any profession. Still, I recommend you choose Assassin."

Kato Kei fell silent: "Then Assassin it is."

When it was Zhu Meichuo's turn, she felt nervous, her face tense as she pressed her hand onto the Adventurer Card.

"Your Strength stat is top-tier—you can choose Swordsman or Knight. Which will you pick?"

"Swordsman," Zhu Meichuo hesitated briefly, then selected her profession.

"Take your card, guest. Now you can go hunt monsters and level up. Still, I suggest you join the upcoming Cabbage Festival—hitting cabbages also grants experience."

"Thank you."

Zhu Meichuo nodded, looking toward Kasumigaoka Uta and the others.

Kasumigaoka Uta: "Let's go meet up with the others first. As for adventuring, we'll deal with it after the cabbage fight."

"Alright."

Zhu Meichuo naturally went along with the group's lead.

She understood nothing of this world, so she wouldn't risk anything lightly.

Following Kasumigaoka Uta and the others, the group arrived at an open field outside the city.

Many people were already there—even the goddess who had just performed had arrived and begun her preaching.

Yet as soon as the Adventurers heard Akuha's preaching, they fled as if encountering plague.

"Big Sister Bai!"

"Jigoku Sister!"

"Miss Shadow!"

Upon arriving, Kasumigaoka Uta's smile widened as she warmly greeted several beautiful women.

"Let me introduce you—this is Zhu Meichuo, Princess of Great Ming."

"Greetings, all elder sisters!" Zhu Meichuo bowed. "My father's earlier rudeness—please forgive him."

A young girl in white robes stepped forward, graceful in bearing: "I'm Bai Suzhen. If you need anything, find me."

Xiao Bai also approached: "I'm Bai Suxin. Of course, you can call me Xiao Bai. By the way, you must've heard the story of me and Big Sister Bai—the Bai Shechuan, right?"

Zhu Meichuo gasped: "Are you two…?"

"We're snake demons!" Bai Suzhen said without a care.

The chat group's atmosphere was simply too good.

Whether demon, ghost, god, or immortal, all coexisted harmoniously—far better than her own world, where demons were treated as outcasts.

"Wow, it's a Princess!"

At that moment, a wild girl rushed over: "I'm Koma, and this is my friend Gojoe!"

"Hello!" Zhu Meichuo felt a wave of relief.

These people weren't hard to get along with at all.

Why had her father offended everyone?

"I'm Yuli, wow, it's a Princess! Battalion Commander, look—it's a Princess! I actually met a Princess!"

"Yuli, don't be rude."

"I'm Miyamizu Miko. So you're the Princess of Great Ming. You haven't bought any Wu Gong yet, right? Later, come to me—I'll lend you some."

Zhu Meichuo froze: "Lend me?"

Miyamizu Miko smiled: "Strange? Everyone's just ignoring your father, not truly angry—just giving him space."

"Then thank you."

As they spoke, countless cabbages flew through the sky, dense and blinding, obscuring the heavens.

"Cabbages really fly!" Zhu Meichuo was stunned; seeing one pass by, she immediately drew her sword and slashed—it fell with a single strike.

With that swing, Zhu Meichuo felt her understanding of swordcraft deepen slightly.

"Is this the leveling up the Adventurer Card mentioned?" Zhu Meichuo was surprised, and began striking cabbages with renewed vigor.

Kasumigaoka Uta and the others made no effort to compete with Zhu Meichuo; they stood at a distance watching, occasionally reaching through the air to snatch a few cabbages into their storage rings.

Zhong Suqiu mused: "If they can be stored in a storage ring, they must not be living beings."

A few minutes later, Kasumigaoka's group each collected one hundred cabbages and stopped.

For them, this was purely recreation—not for profit or leveling.

Only Zhu Meichuo fought hardest—and faced the greatest danger.

At first, the cabbages flew sporadically, unresponsive.

Finally, dozens surged toward Zhu Meichuo at once.

Zhu Meichuo's Wu Gong was weak; soon her brow was slick with sweat, her breath ragged.

Had it not been for the positive feedback from the Adventurer Card, she would have collapsed long ago.

"Take a break."

As Zhu Meichuo's strength failed, a calm voice spoke; the expressionless girl stood behind her, waved her hand, and the cabbages vanished into her grasp.

After several such interventions, no more cabbages rushed toward them.

"Thank you, Young Lady Kato."

"It's nothing," Kato Megumi shook her head. "We're friends now, so helping each other is only natural."

Friend?

Zhu Meichuo smiled: "Then I look forward to your guidance, Young Lady Kato."
