Chapter 215: My Life is Tough, I Can't Learn to Bow

"I will maintain this pace; I must cross that line before that falling leaf hits the ground, otherwise I'm going to have bad luck!"

Zhang Suannai thought to herself, staring intently at the falling leaf ahead while maintaining her pace.

The leaf fluttered in the air, drifting left and right.

But just as she reached the halfway point, this damn leaf actually stopped fluttering and fell straight down.

"It doesn't matter if I quietly speed up a little."

Zhang Suannai thought to herself, accelerating slightly, but she couldn't be too obvious; at the very least, she couldn't overtake Chen Shu and the tour guide walking in front.

The leaf hit the ground.

Zhang Suannai stopped her steps, still half a step away from the line ahead.

"This time doesn't count; I still have one more chance."

Zhang Suannai thought this to herself and nodded secretly.

That's right, that's how it is.

Today, she, Gate of All Wonders, and Nameless Person received orders that an expert wanted to tour Tasha and specifically requested them to serve as bodyguards. Zhang Suannai knew with her butt that this silly vegetable must be going through the motions, but there was no help for it; military orders were like mountains, and although a Sword Sect Disciple possessed a backbone of pride, they could also bend and stretch.

Those who understand the times are heroes, after all!

Zhang Suannai considered herself a hero!

A super invincible great hero!

So, imitating the bodyguards in movies, she wore black sportswear, carried a Long Sword in her hand, and kept a cold face as she followed behind Chen Shu.

"I am a robot now!"

Zhang Suannai told herself this in her heart.

Absolutely not giving him a chance to be smug.

If he tries to act cool later, she will absolutely not cooperate with him, not even giving him an expression, letting him act cool to an empty room.

Beside her were the indifferent-looking Gate of All Wonders and the always-silent Nameless Person, while Chen Shu walked at the very front with the diplomat named Shang Xia, who was also acting as their temporary tour guide for this trip, taking them out to tour Tasha.

"Up ahead is the Daban Temple, and Tasha's most famous snack street is also here. It's just that the domestic situation in Tasha has been severe recently, the tourism industry has almost come to a standstill, and the economic downturn is also very serious. These snacks are not daily necessities, so many have closed down; your experience might not be very good."

"It's fine, just joining in the fun."

Chen Shu smiled gently and said to the tour guide: "Don't be so polite; we are all just out to have fun. Have you noticed? The four of us all know each other, and the three of them weren't sent by the military either. Just treat us as a tour group. Based on age, we should even call you sister."

"Ah?"

This female civil servant was somewhat stunned:

"How old are you?"

"Real 21, nominal 22, approximate 23, fuzzy 24."

"Ah?"

"21."

"Aren't you an expert group? I always thought you just looked young!"

"Hey..."

Zhang Suannai walked behind, hugging her sword with an expressionless face, knowing that this person was probably going to act cool again; she must pretend not to see it.

Yet she only heard Chen Shu say with a chuckle: "Used connections to come and see the world."

Upon hearing this, the young lady tour guide immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Suannai was very surprised.

He actually admitted it?

And didn't act cool?

Zhang Suannai couldn't help but fall into deep thought, considering that if it were her, given such a good opportunity just now, she would have had to act cool a little bit no matter what.

At this moment, she saw this silly vegetable turn around and hand his half-finished bottle of water to her:

"Guard Zhang, help me hold this."

"?"

Do you believe I'll draw my sword and chop you down?

"Hmm?"

"?"

Hmm your mother!

Zhang Suannai kept a cold face. In her mind, her current image and temperament were exactly the same as her two roommates in daily life, carrying a cold aura that kept people at a distance and a freezing force field, and she said coldly:

"I am a guard, not a servant!"

After thinking about it, she added: "I am only responsible for saving your dog life at critical moments. If you want to live, behave yourself!"

So cool!

Who says guards are inferior? Look, isn't she very stylish right now?

"I'm going to eat Tasha's snacks in a moment. If you are a guard, logically speaking, you cannot participate; you can only stand on the side and watch us eat."

"!"

Zhang Suannai glared at him with a highly intimidating gaze, then snatched the water from his hand.

Those who understand food are heroes.

Zhang Suannai considered herself a hero.

The group arrived at the snack street next to the Daban Temple. Looking at the oil stains on the ground, this road should usually be crowded with small vendors on both sides, but now only a few scattered tricycles were still operating, and there was almost no business.

Chen Shu went over to take a look and bought a few types of snacks.

A kind of fruit salad-like thing, a beef wrap, and a stir-fried sweet and spicy hodgepodge.

Chen Shu invited the young lady tour guide to sit down together and began to taste them.

The main ingredient of the fruit salad is the God King Fruit; the God King Fruit is a local specialty, and the fruit flesh looks like mangosteen but is a bit smaller, with a sweet and sour taste, a unique fragrance, and a very refreshing mouthfeel.

The beef wrap uses a thin, soft, and chewy flatbread, while the beef is grilled and sprinkled with many spices, making it heavily seasoned and spicy; once grilled, it is placed inside the flatbread and rolled up, and the taste is quite good.

The hot and sour hodgepodge is just average; one cannot tell what is inside, and if it were replaced with something like seafood, it might be much better.

They chatted while eating.

Zhang Suannai became cold and icy, not saying much.

In reality, Zhong Miao Zhimen has a relatively gentle personality and is not as funny as in the group; it might also be that because Zhang Suannai is sitting right next to him, he does not dare to be funny.

Wuming Renshi is much more silent than online and does not like to talk much; sometimes when his gaze meets someone else's, he will silently look away.

Most of the time, it is the young lady tour guide chatting with Chen Shu.

After finishing their meal, they went to stroll around the Daban Temple.

What is very magical is that there is actually a statue of Shengzu in the Daban Temple.

Chen Shu snatched the job from the young lady tour guide and explained to them: "This is because after Shengzu unified the world back then, in that era, he was regarded as the only true god walking on earth and the only king in the whole world. Later, after Great Xia relocated, the country of Tasha, which had inherited a portion of Great Xia's culture and system at the time, wanted to shape an image of 'orthodoxy' for itself, so it publicly claimed to be the orthodox successor left behind here by Shengzu. As time passed, they even believed it themselves, and for a very long time afterward, they considered Shengzu to be their ancestor. In fact, he is not; Tasha and us are very different."

The young lady tour guide nodded repeatedly: "That is exactly it."

Zhong Miao Zhimen also nodded in sudden realization.

Wuming Renshi is a bit uncomfortable, as if he feels it is not good not to respond, but he does not know what to say if he does.

Walking out of the temple, the group began to head back.

"Guard Zhang."

"!"

"Give me a sip of water."

"!"

Zhang Suannai handed the water over with a cold face.

Chen Shu finished drinking and handed it back to her.

"Thanks."

Thanks your ass!

Zhang Suannai took it silently, pretending she was a guard robot without feelings so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable inside.

At the same time, she prayed secretly—

Hurry up and have someone come to launch an attack! It would be best to beat this silly green vegetable half to death so that he has to beg her to protect him! Only then will he understand that she is not just a guard who carries water, but a super invincible big shot! He should be respectful to her!

Unfortunately, the attack was slow to come.

"Sigh..."

Zhang Suannai sighed in her heart, holding the water in one hand and her Sword in the other, boredly aiming at a stray dog sitting in front, thinking to herself:

"I must walk to it before it stands up, otherwise I will die on the spot!"

The thought had just finished when the dog stood up.

"I still have one life left."

Zhang Suannai walked with her head down, honestly deciding not to play these games even if she was bored, but the cracks in the floor tiles were seducing her again, making her unable to control the thoughts in her heart:

"If I keep my pace unchanged, when I reach the twenty-eighth step, my toe must hit a tile crack exactly.

"One, two...

"Twenty-eight...

"Oh, I said it wrong just now, it's twenty-nine.

"Twenty-nine."

Zhang Suannai felt relieved.

At this moment, she sensed a gaze from the front, looked up, and saw that silly green vegetable looking at her with an extremely strange expression; heh, didn't expect that I still have such a cold side, did you?

"Why do you look even more like an idiot than usual today?" Chen Shu asked in confusion.

"???"

Idiot your mom!

Do you understand what being cold is?

Only to hear Zhong Miao Zhimen on the side immediately chime in: "I think so too."

You think my ass! You bootlicker! A little bit of street food was enough to buy you off; are you people of the Daoist sect really so spineless?

Then Wuming Renshi on the side also quietly glanced at her, then quickly retracted his gaze.

Look, look, look!! Good thing you ran fast, otherwise I'd gouge your eyes out!

Zhang Suannai was very active in her heart, but she still kept a straight face, even lifting her chin, and said proudly: "I just feel that there is nothing to talk about when I am with you all!"

"Then tomorrow the three of us will go out and let her stay at the hotel to be on duty and stand guard."

"... That's not necessary."

A Sword Sect Disciple knows how to bend and stretch.

Back at the hotel.

Chen Shu took out his Mobile Phone and connected to the Wi-Fi.

Chen Shu: Haha

Qingqing:?

Chen Shu: Went strolling in Tasha today and ate some snacks

Chen Shu: 【Image】

Qingqing: What is that in the bottom right corner?

Chen Shu: Hot and sour hodgepodge

Chen Shu: I feel the flavor of the sauce is quite good; the acidity is mainly provided by tomatoes and lemons, it's fermented and very refreshing, but the ingredients aren't great. If they were replaced with small seafood, it would definitely be much tastier, but it's a pity it's a bit far from the sea here.

Qingqing: How is it made?

Chen Shu: I don't know. If you can make me happy, once I'm in a good mood, I might consider asking the local chef at the hotel.

Qingqing: How do I please you?

Chen Shu: Think about it yourself.

Qingqing: I don't want to eat anymore.

Chen Shu:...

The room diagonally across the hall.

Zhang Suannai had already forgotten the humiliation she suffered during the day, happily holding up her Mobile Phone, and also found her goddess roommate.

Zhang Suannai: Qingqing Qingqing

Zhang Suannai: Look at what I ate

Zhang Suannai: 【Image】

Zhang Suannai: I was invited to protect that boyfriend of yours who isn't dating anyone today. Let me tell you, Tasha is so dangerous. We walked down the street, and just because our skin was relatively fair and we were dressed well, many people were eyeing us covetously. Fortunately, my aura is powerful, and I scared them all off; otherwise, your boyfriend who isn't dating anyone would have been robbed at least two or three times.

Ning Qing: Sorry, not interested.

"..."

Zhang Suannai's expression was extremely complicated.
