Chapter 122 - 121 Liu Sisi’s Sky Experience, Yun Dian Paradise
An hour and a half later, Li Jing arrived at the community where Liu Sisi resided using Sky Control.
At this time, it was close to two in the afternoon.
He was about ten minutes early from the meeting time that Liu Sisi had agreed upon in the Immortal Message.
Upon arriving at the location, Li Jing didn’t rush to head upstairs.
Liu Sisi had asked him to come two hours later, indicating that she needed time to doll up.
He had to understand this.
After waiting for a while under the apartment building and seeing that the time was almost up, Li Jing went up to the floor where Liu Sisi lived and rang her doorbell.
No sooner had the doorbell rang than the door opened from the inside. Liu Sisi, carefully dressed, walked out.
She greeted Li Jing with a smile as she closed the door behind her.
"Where are we going?"
"You decide."
Li Jing shrugged.
"You invite me out without thinking where to take me?"
Liu Sisi clicked her tongue, thought for a moment, and said.
"Since you have no idea, how about we visit the newly opened Yun Dian Paradise?"
"Yun Dian Paradise?"
Li Jing frowned.
Yun Dian Paradise is a world-renowned theme park.
It is similar to Disney from his previous life, generally a place for holiday amusement.
Going to the amusement park, Li Jing didn’t mind.
Indeed, a Yun Dian Paradise had recently opened in Jianghai.
But its location was not in North City but in Shangcheng District. The journey there was far from just distant.
It was already two o’clock. Wouldn’t they arrive there by five or six o’clock?
As if she could read Li Jing’s thoughts, Liu Sisi winked playfully.
"Aren’t you capable of Sword Controlling? It shouldn’t take long to fly me there, right?"
"Well..."
Li Jing hesitated.
Patrols by Sky Control were quite casual. There were no restrictions on whether it was during duty hours or rest time, and there were no restrictions on whether to bring people or not.
In his previous role in the Assistant Inspector Department, although he could freely use Sky Control at any time and place, there was a clear requirement not to bring people while using Sky Control.
This could be regarded as a "privilege" of in-job patrolling.
The problem was that Liu Sisi had just broken through to the Second Realm Cultivation Level not long ago, and she had only just started learning magic skills. It was estimated that she hadn’t learned Sky Control yet and had never flown up the sky.
Being flown by someone else using Sword Controlling wasn’t a pleasant feeling. Li Jing had experienced it firsthand.
If she wasn’t used to it, she could faint on a flying sword in a split second.
Li Jing was worried that Liu Sisi wouldn’t be able to handle it...
On the other hand, seeing Li Jing’s hesitating expression, Liu Sisi pouted and huffed.
"Looking at your expression, you’re not willing to fly me there? When you invite me out, can’t you have a bit of sincerity?"
"..."
Li Jing.
This...
It seemed that he couldn’t refuse?
He gave an amused look at the feigned anger on Liu Sisi’s face, and Li Jing gave in helplessly.
"Okay, I’ll take you there."
"That’s better!"
Liu Sisi smiled with satisfaction, casually hooked her arm around his, and laughed as she pulled him toward the elevator.
"The park has just opened a few days ago and there are a lot of discounts. I’ve heard there are a lot of unique facilities that other places don’t have, and they’ve also opened a big themed market with a lot of new things. Since it’s such a rare opportunity to go there once, let’s have a good stroll when we get there."
"Hmm."
Li Jing nodded his head in agreement and said,
"Today is to make up for your birthday, you call the shots."
The words had just left his mouth, when Liu Sisi frowned and looked over.
"Do I only get to call the shots today?"
"..."
Li Jing.
When it came to stirring trouble, Liu Sisi was truly a professional.
Give her a small loophole, and she would seize the opportunity to show off her "Divine Might".
So...
How was he supposed to handle this move of hers?
Seeing Li Jing’s troubled expression, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but chuckle. She retightened her grip on his arm, both intentionally and unintentionally, and did not seek to gloat any further.
...
When they reached the ground floor by elevator, Liu Sisi could barely contain her excitement.
"Flying sword! Hurry up!"
At her words, the corner of Li Jing’s mouth twitched. Instead of summoning his flying sword Blue Edge, he chose to summon Linglong Tower.
He had no choice.
To cater to Liu Sisi’s "sky ride" experience, the Linglong Tower was a better choice than the Blue Edge.
There is a difference between a flying sword and a tower, after all.
And the fact was, as he was concerned about whether Liu Sisi would be able to withstand the flying sword, Linglong, the spirit weapon, was eager to perform as she picked up on his thoughts.
If it were an ordinary day, Li Jing would certainly choose to ignore Linglong.
But in order to take care of Liu Sisi, he didn’t have an option.
If he took Liu Sisi there using a flying sword and she ended up vomiting from the discomfort when they arrived, not only might she not let him off the hook, but their trip to the amusement park wouldn’t be very enjoyable either.
Seeing that Li Jing had summoned a golden pagoda instead of a flying sword, Liu Sisi was taken aback for a moment and quickly turned her head to the side.
Seeing her reaction, Li Jing rolled his eyes. He didn’t give her the chance to complain and immediately instructed Linglong Tower with a thought.
Linglong Tower, rare as it was to have the opportunity to show off, dared not detain when given the command from its master.
With a "whoosh," the Linglong Tower magnified to a size just large enough to accommodate the two of them. It covered Li Jing and Liu Sisi and soared into the sky in a ray of golden light.
Liu Sisi hadn’t had a chance to speak before she was brought up into the sky. Her small hands instinctively tightened their grip on Li Jing as she was covered by Linglong Tower.
Under the protection of Linglong Tower, the experience was not as bad as flying by sword, and there wasn’t the feeling of being torn into the sky.
But the super-high speed of Linglong Tower was genuinely felt by Liu Sisi.
Just as Li Jing had thought.
Liu Sisi hadn’t had time to learn Sky Control yet and had never flown into the sky.
Being taken to the sky at ultra-high speed all of a sudden, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared. How could she complain about this tower?
After a good while, she finally came to her senses.
Realizing that she had instinctively held onto Li Jing tightly, Liu Sisi’s pale face blushed a little. She raised her eyes in annoyance.
"Did you do that on purpose?"
"What?"
Li Jing played dumb.
But how intelligent was Liu Sisi?
Of course, she couldn’t be fooled by his simple pretense.
However, at this moment, she really didn’t dare to let go, and there was no room for her to play.
With Linglong Tower’s protection, she was not having a bad experience, but the sense of weightlessness under high-speed movement was extremely intense.
After giving Li Jing a hard stare, Liu Sisi looked down, trying to enjoy the rapidly receding view of the city below.
Having her first flight was very novel to her.
This chance was not commonly available.
Even if she learned Sky Control, using Sky Control within cities was not allowed. She could only float around for self-amusement at home.
Unless she was like Li Jing, who joined the patrol.
Seeing Liu Sisi looking at the city below, Li Jing got the hint. Guided by his thoughts, he commanded Linglong Tower to slow down and make the tower’s body transparent.
As Linglong Tower slowed down, the scenery on the ground suddenly became clearer.
With the tower’s body transparent, Liu Sisi’s vision became much wider.
After glancing at Li Jing, she smiled without speaking and continued to appreciate the rare view.
...
About ten minutes later, they arrived at Yun Dian Paradise in the Shangcheng District, landing on a main road leading directly to the park’s entrance.
For a journey that was only ten minutes, Liu Sisi seemed unsatisfied.
As they moved slowly through the vanishing spell, she gradually adjusted to the weird feeling of being carried in the air.
In any case, she was now also at the cultivation level of the Second Realm.
With Li Jing taking good care of her during their slow vanishing trip, if she couldn’t get used to it, there would be no need for her to learn how to "fly" in the future.
As her feet touched the ground, Liu Sisi didn’t say anything more, she directly grabbed Li Jing and gave him a fierce pinch.
Li Jing barely had time to put away the Linglong Tower after landing. Suddenly, hit by her unyielding hold, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Liu Sisi’s small strength was negligible.
But one cannot refuse the fact that she was fierce and her angle was quite tricky!
Turning his head and seeing Liu Sisi’s angry face, Li Jing laughed embarrassingly and rubbed his arm.
"Let’s go buy the tickets first?"
"What else? Can we get in without tickets?"
Liu Sisi humphed unhappily; looking at the arm she was tightly holding, she bit her red lips but showed no signs of letting go.
Li Jing did not notice Liu Sisi’s unusual behavior.
What’s that old saying?
Once a stranger, twice familiar.
After their previous trip to the spiritual objects market, he was no longer that naive young man who would easily be swayed.
...
Yun Dian Paradise in Jianghai City has only been open for a short time, but business is booming.
After they purchased tickets and passed through the inspection gates to enter the park, Li Jing and Liu Sisi both stopped in their tracks and looked around to see nothing but people everywhere.
Looking at all the tourists, Li Jing turned his head.
"This place... business seems to be a bit too good."
"It is a bit exaggerated, but it’s understandable since it’s just opened."
Liu Sisi agreed, looking at the sea of people with some difficulty.
Looking at this crowd, there was no hope for the amusement facilities.
If they wanted to queue, it would probably take several hours to get a chance to experience a ride.
After a moment of thought, Liu Sisi said,
"Anyway, we are not in a hurry to go back, let’s first go around the main market. People will probably be fewer in the evening. When it gets darker, the park should also have various theme activities."
"Okay."
Li Jing nodded, looked at the sign, and headed towards the main market.
Yun Dian Paradise is not small in size.
It took them more than twenty minutes to find the main market.
Once they were in the market, Liu Sisi was immediately attracted by the colorful custom merchandise.
What about women, huh!
Once they entered the market, it was pretty much the same scene.
As expected, Li Jing became the "tool person" again.
Just like their previous trip to the spiritual objects market, Liu Sisi dragged him around haphazardly, stopping to look at everything she saw and buying all sorts of stuff along the way.
The consumption in the main market could not be compared with the spiritual objects market of course.
After all, the goods here were aimed at ordinary tourists.
Apart from having nothing to do with cultivation, they were basically toys, dolls, and various custom clothing.
Compared to the outside market, things here were a little more expensive.
But this kind of expenditure was nothing for Liu Sisi.
The most expensive items were only a few thousand, it’s not a big deal for neither Liu Sisi nor Li Jing whose eyebrows wouldn’t even furrow at such a price.
...
Unconsciously, more than three hours passed.
After the shopping spree, Liu Sisi was satisfied after spending about a hundred thousand. She looked around the main market several times and lost interest.
Looking out, the sky was gradually darkening, Liu Sisi looked at Li Jing.
"It’s about time, let’s go outside."
"Okay, let’s get out."
Li Jing quickly responded.
Being a toolman plus a "prop" throughout the whole process, the things in the theme sale area of Yun Dian Paradise amusement park are hardly interesting to him.
Just some broken dolls and toys, how could they be as fascinating as various wonderful spiritual objects?
Spending three hours browsing is simply torture to him.
As he walked out of the sales area, he saw a parade coming from the other end of the road, with many playful children chasing the tail of the parade.
Li Jing frowned as he saw this.
At a glance, there were more than a dozen Health Bars of different lengths in the parade.
The short ones had about 3,000 points; the long ones had 4,500.
The Health Bars in view were all members of the parade.
Some of them were sitting on floats, some were dressed in mascot costumes, and some were dressed like clowns.
That wasn’t too alarming.
To this day, Li Jing has become somewhat numb to the existence of human-shaped demons infiltrating human society.
The Management Bureau has human-shaped demons and Yue Lingling, who became a live broadcaster, the Meng family even has a huge number of relatives who married into rich families as trophy wives.
Seeing human-shaped demons elsewhere wouldn’t surprise Li Jing.
However, the sight in front of him was truly outrageous.
In the parade, those who were dressed as non-human beast-eared girls while sitting on the floats were mainly demons.
They did not wear related accessories, but simply revealed their demon beast body features.
They had animal ears on their heads, tails behind their waist, dressed in special costumes like maid outfits, interacting with roadside tourists and even distributing candy to chasing children.
Compared to what Li Jing saw at the Meng family’s gathering, this scene was too much.
Watching this from afar, Li Jing wore a strange expression on his face.
These beast-eared girls, they were too blatant.
Comparatively, Su Qiong who is hidden within the Management Bureau and Yue Lingling, who is a live broadcaster, are nothing.
At least they are relatively low-key.
These beast-eared girls don’t pretend at all, with their demon beast body features fully exposed while "doing business"...
Liu Sisi didn’t show much interest in the parade when she stepped out.
Such parades, which children are fond of, wouldn’t attract her.
Seeing Li Jing looking intently at those strangely dressed beast-eared girls on the floats, Liu Sisi slightly frowned.
"Do you like this kind?"
"..."
Li Jing was speechless and changed the subject.
"Sisi, don’t you think the props used by the beast-eared girls in the parade look very real?"
"What’s there?"
Liu Sisi snorted and said.
"They’re just very realistic props, not the real thing. Yun Dian Paradise is the largest chain theme park in the world, if they can’t even make realistic props, how could their business be so successful?"
"If you put it this way, it makes sense."
Li Jing echoed.
Liu Sisi’s words made sense.
If he couldn’t see the real Health Bars, he might really think those were realistic props.
While agreeing with Liu Sisi verbally, Li Jing couldn’t help but glance at those beast-eared girls again.
In a place like Yun Dian Paradise, the parade crew is usually composed of permanent staff employed by the park, so they basically operate every day.
Considering how blatantly these beast-eared girls in the crew acted without the use of any props, it’s most likely that some higher-ups in Yun Dian Paradise knew about them.
Obviously, they were another group of people profiting from demons...
Were these demons voluntary or forced?
Did Yun Dian Parks in other cities and countries also keep such a parade crew?
Just as he was thinking, a girl dressed as a princess on a float in the parade suddenly screamed and burst into a cloud of blood.
