Chapter 250: When I Enter a Dream
Early the next morning, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took Xia Yubing to the Europa Consulate in Yundu. Military Attaché Edi Daike and Seeing Lan Shiwen were already waiting there.
In terms of procedure, the person sending him off should be the local ambassador himself, or at least a civil official should be sent. But given the personal relationship between Edi Daike and Van Daike, it was more appropriate for this military attaché to come and see him off.
"Look who's here? It's been a long time, my brother. Have you had fun in Yunzhou during this time?" Edi Daike, with a small belly, gave Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe a big hug, his face full of enthusiasm.
Releasing the hug, Edi Daike cast his gaze at Xia Yubing, who was following behind Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and smiled: "I suppose this is Ms. Xia that you mentioned on the phone last night, right? Truly a charming beauty."
Xia Yubing was wearing a very slim-fitting pair of light blue jeans today, stepping on a pair of pure black long boots, and draped in a loose woolen coat on her upper body. She stood behind Van Daike wearing smoke-colored sunglasses, looking more like a female bodyguard hired from somewhere than a guest.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe smiled and said to Seeing Lan Shiwen, who was silently drinking tea on the side: "Since Ms. Xia has chosen to trust us, she is a friend of the Daike family from now on. I hope you won't make things difficult for her."
Seeing Lan Shiwen didn't speak. The cup lid and the tea saucer collided with a *ding* sound, which counted as a default response.
The identity Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe arranged for Xia Yubing was a pitiful Granted who was persecuted by the Nine Provinces regime. Her family was excluded and oppressed by the Qinzhou government because they were involved in strange powers, and they had no choice but to flee to Yunzhou to seek political asylum from the Europa Consulate.
In this statement, it was true that Xia Yubing was a Granted, and it was true that the Xia family was involved in the strange. Even the fact that there was no consulate in Qinzhou was true. The only thing that could be considered a lie was that the Xia family hadn't actually suffered any oppression or exclusion. Their property scale had been shrinking year after year purely because there were no qualified successors in the family for these two generations, and the family's core industry didn't dare to be handed over to the sons-in-law recruited from outside, leading to more success in defending than in pioneering.
From the perspective of the Daike family, everything Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said was true, without half a point of deception. Coupled with Seeing Lan Shiwen's cooperation, even if they investigated, they wouldn't find any flaws.
"Welcome to the embrace of the free world! Madam." Edi Dai Ke was as enthusiastic as ever; his cousin had recruited a seeker of refuge who was a Gridder for the family within his work area, and after returning to the family, he would also be able to sponge off some credit for it.
Edi Daike, who had picked up a political achievement for nothing, wanted to pull his cousin and Ms. Xia to have a big meal before leaving, but was brushed off by Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe with "there is an old saying in the East that long nights lead to many dreams."
Escorted by bodyguards, the two arrived at the roof of the Yunding Building, boarded the giant airship painted with the rose crest with thorns, and set off to leave Yundu.
This giant airship, named 'Saint Abilon,' was over 300 meters long, with a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The ship's specifications were more massive than the vast majority of commercial passenger airships on the market, but it was not usually open to the public for passengers.
'Saint Abilon' was a private airship built specifically for him by the airship company under the name of Marquis Van Daike. Only friends invited by Van Daike were qualified to board the ship for a tour.
Therefore, strictly speaking, there were only two passengers on this airship now, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and Xia Yubing, and the rest were service and staff.
"Welcome to embrace the free world!"
Walking into the airship owner's exclusive room, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe poured a glass of red wine and turned to Xia Yubing behind him, raising his glass from afar: "This guy's taste in hidden wine is not bad. Do you want to drink some?"
"Not drinking." Xia Yubing took off her sunglasses and cast a look of disdain at the middle-aged handsome uncle face of Van Daike: "Not drinking wine poured by an uncle."
"It seems you like fresh meat." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe changed back to his original appearance and took a shallow sip of the wine glass. This was Van Daike's private room, so there was no need to worry about being monitored.
Putting down the glass, he lay on the sofa, sinking his exhausted body into the soft velvet. He hadn't slept all night because of Xia Yubing's tossing yesterday, so he could just make up for it on the road.
"That's right, this looks more pleasing to the eye." Xia Yubing was happy, humming and drinking the remaining half glass of red wine of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, turning around to look, he had already fallen asleep.
So tired...
Thinking of her own actions last night, Xia Yubing's cheeks flushed, feeling a bit guilty. She pulled a blanket from the side to cover Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, took out a sleep eye mask from her pocket, and put it on him. This room had no windows, and the air circulation system was hidden in the decorations on the wall. Xia Yubing leaned over and kissed Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe on the neck, put on her sunglasses, and walked out of the room, intending to ask the maid for something to eat.
Walking on the walnut floor, Xia Yubing's footsteps were unusually steady, giving people a strange feeling as if she were not on a high-altitude flying vehicle, but in some high-end hotel on the ground.
Extreme stability was the biggest advantage of an airship, while the disadvantage was that as a travel vehicle, the airship's flight speed was far inferior to international cutting-edge supersonic passenger planes, so there were gains and losses.
From the inland of the Nine Provinces to Europa, flying across the Eurasian continent from the air at a speed of less than 150 kilometers per hour would be a very, very long journey.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lay on the soft sofa covered with a blanket, his hazy consciousness gradually blurring, quietly falling asleep.
The flight of the airship was very stable, without any bumps, but Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe in his sleep felt as if his soul was lying on a swaying little boat. The waves rose and fell, and the little boat rose and fell with them, carrying the lonely soul on the boat to drift very, very far.
Opening his eyes, what came into view was a piece of blurry, dim darkness.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe rubbed his eyes and sat up. The touch from his buttocks was cold and hard, as if what he was sleeping on was not a soft and smooth velvet sofa, but a stone slab.
Reaching out to touch, it really was a stone slab.
"What's going on?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked around in confusion, wanting to find the light switch in the dim room. A few seconds later, he suddenly reacted—no.

The lighting in Van Daike's room was on 24 hours a day. He slept directly wearing an eye mask and wouldn't turn off the lights.
Could it be that Xia Yubing turned it off?
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe reached out and touched his head. He didn't touch the eye mask that Xia Yubing had put on him when he was sleeping hazily, but instead touched a prickly half-inch short hair.
This is not my head.
Van Daike's hairstyle was a standard European back-combed style, taken care of by the maid every day. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe himself had a lazy medium-length hair, and when eating, he would tie his hair up if it blocked his eyes.
No matter which identity, he had never had a crew cut.
Just as Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was confused, a sense of inexplicable crisis suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, adding a few points of eerie atmosphere to this dim room, as if there was an inaudible voice whispering softly in the depths of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's mind:
【It is looking for you.】
【Hide, hide.】
【Don't let it find you.】
