What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 106 Daily Life. - Yang Mingyi's "clever" response.

The previous chapter talked about Yang Mingyi bringing Cordelia and Li Xingqi to the Adventurer's Guild. Yang Mingyi learned from Minnias that someone was causing damage in the Huxia Forest.

Yang Mingyi asked Minnies, "So, is the president here?" As she spoke, she pointed her finger upwards at the ceiling.

Minnies told Yang Mingyi, "Alas, the president is basically staying in the Huesia Forest now. I haven't seen him for several days."

Yang Mingyi then asked Minnies, "Then the guild has been quite quiet these days. Could they have moved their office there?"

Minnies told Yang Mingyi, "That's about right. Anyone looking for the president goes straight to the Huxia Forest."

Yang Mingyi said "Oh" and then asked Minyas, "Hey? Do you have an illustrated book that records various monsters?" She had only heard about it from the adventure team when she was in the dungeon before, and she had never seen the "illustrated book" with her own eyes.

Minnies told Yang Mingyi, "Yes. Look, there is a table in the middle of the hall, and the 'illustrated book' is displayed on it." As she spoke, she pointed to a booth in the middle of the hall.

After hearing this, the three girls all turned back to look at the display stand where the illustrated book was displayed. Curious, Cordelia and Li Xingqi immediately ran to look at the illustrated book.

Yang Mingyi looked at the illustrated book on the table from afar, muttering to herself, "Ah? So that's the illustrated book that records the monsters? I've been here so many times and I didn't notice it. Speaking of which, that illustrated book is so huge..."

Minnies asked Yang Mingyi, "Mingyi, they seem so interested in monsters. Are you sure you don't want to join our guild?"

Yang Mingyi turned around and whispered to Minyas, "Their families are not short of money, they are all super rich. The carriage parked outside is full of good things they bought today." The things in the carriage were basically all bought by the other two girls. She didn't buy anything today. After all, most of the bounties she got from previous missions were with You Jiahui.

Minyas said to Yang Mingyi, "Oh, so that's the case... That's such a pity." Only then did she completely give up the idea of ​​persuading the two girls to join the Adventurer's Guild.

Yang Mingyi whispered to Minyas again, "One is the daughter of a baron, and the other is the daughter of a wealthy merchant." She began to chat with Minyas about gossip. She was also a loose-lipped person, saying whatever came to her mind. On the way here, she almost told others about her visit to the underground city.

Minyas said to Yang Mingyi, "Oh... Baron's family, then the territory should be near the royal capital. If it's a duke's or marquis' family, they are all in other towns. There won't be that much territory to be allocated to them near the royal capital."

After hearing this, Yang Mingyi suddenly felt that she had gained some new knowledge. She asked Minyas, "Oh? You know about this kind of thing. Sister Minyas, you know a lot. Why haven't I heard you talk about this before?"

Minnies said to Yang Mingyi, "That's because you usually come to see Jialisi first and never talk to me."

Yang Mingyi said to Minnies, "Oh, yes, yes, it seems I will have to ask you for advice more often in the future."

Then, after chatting with Minnies in a low voice about the guild, Yang Mingyi also walked over to look at the monster encyclopedia.

By the time Yang Mingyi walked behind the two girls, they were already flipping through the book with great interest. The three girls were flipping through the monster encyclopedia, and when they saw the various monsters, they were sometimes surprised and sometimes laughed happily.

At that moment, the three girls happened to turn to the page titled "Speed ​​Swimmer," which featured an illustration of a speed swimmer. Yang Mingyi looked at it and thought to herself, "What the hell is this? If I hadn't seen that monster myself, I'd have thought it was a banana." The thought brought back memories of the dungeon's horror, but the illustration made her want to laugh again, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Cortilauia asked Yang Mingyi, "What's wrong?" She thought Yang Mingyi had seen something funny again, but she didn't see it either.

Li Xingqi asked Yang Mingyi, "Mingyi, the monster you mentioned earlier that can 'walk on water', is it this 'speed-swimming monster'?"

After Yang Mingyi stopped laughing, she immediately nodded and said to the two girls with a smile, "Yes, it's this monster."

Cordelia asked Yang Mingyi, "Then how do you know it uses water magic? Have you seen it?" Her question was like another "soul-searching" for Yang Mingyi.

Yang Mingyi was stunned and thought to herself, "Oh no, I definitely can't say that I've been to the underground city. How am I going to make up this lie..." She was so anxious that her head was buzzing and sweat was coming out of her back.

Before Yang Mingyi could reply, Li Xingqi said to Cordilauria, "Why ask? Look how much it looks like a boat."

After hearing Li Xingqi's "quick answer", Yang Mingyi immediately agreed and said, "Yes, yes, that's because it looks like a ship. Look at those words, what do they say?" As she spoke, she pointed to the words next to the illustration.

The two girls quickly read the text description next to the illustration, and then they immediately understood and said in unison: Oh - so that's how it is.

Cordelia muttered to herself as she looked at the illustrations. "Hmm, this description seems to refer to 'water walking'."

Li Xingqi agreed, saying, "That's right. As for 'gliding quickly on the water,' even though we can't glide quickly yet, the old wizard who taught us water walking has demonstrated swift gliding, so that's definitely what 'water walking' means."

Then, Cordelauria suddenly came across a passage that made her feel sick. She covered her mouth and said to Li Xingqi, "Look, they said there's a chance of dropping monster materials like 'eyeballs'..." She felt a little nauseous at this point. Fortunately, she hadn't eaten much at the tavern, otherwise she would have likely vomited.

Li Xingqi felt disgusted after seeing this. She felt indescribably nauseous and had goose bumps all over her body. She muttered, "Ah? Eyeballs? Eh..."

Cordilauia told Li Xingqi, "Stop talking, it's so disgusting..." As she spoke, she covered her mouth and was about to vomit.

Seeing this, Li Xingqi quickly turned to the next page, fearing that Cordilauia would vomit on her. The two girls continued to flip through the monster encyclopedia.

Yang Mingyi, now unaware of the need to speak, had already left the illustrated guide. She genuinely didn't dare interrupt, fearing her words would betray her previous experience in the dungeon. Seeing the two girls continue absorbed in their gaze, unsuspecting her, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, furtively wiping the sweat from her forehead, she thought to herself, "I've been so cautious with my words, my mind's almost a mess. Sigh..." She was still used to the habit of speaking without thinking.

Cordeiroia and Li Xingqi continued to study the illustrated guide, completely absorbed. Little did they know, their future paths would be profoundly altered by this moment of fascination.

The two girls continued to flip through the pages, and Li Xingqi happened to turn to the page about "Hundred Hands Flower".

After looking at the illustration, Cordelia blurted out, "Wow! This monster looks so exaggerated..."

After looking at the illustration, Li Xingqi also muttered, "It looks quite weird. I feel like it's a very dangerous monster."

Cordelia said to Li Xingqi, "We've encountered a high-level monster here. It's naturally more dangerous than what we saw before."

Li Xingqi said to Cordelia, "That's what you said... That seems to be the logic. High-level ones are stronger than mid-level ones, and mid-level ones are stronger than low-level ones."

The two girls in front of him were chatting like this, while Yang Mingyi had a dull look in her eyes and didn't respond. It was obvious that she was thinking about her own things...

I don’t know how much time passed, but after the two girls finished reading the entire monster encyclopedia, Yang Mingyi finally came to her senses.

As soon as Li Xingqi turned the last page of the Monster Manual, Cordelia said to the other two girls, "Okay, we've finished reading! Let's go!"

Yang Mingyi asked the two girls, "There's another book next to it, don't you want to read it?" As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes to another illustrated book next to the monster illustrated book.

Cordelia glanced at the text on the other illustrated book next to the Monster Encyclopedia and immediately asked Yang Mingyi, "Oh, there's another Monster Encyclopedia?"

Li Xingqi asked Cordilauria, "What do you mean, do you still want to see it?"

Cordelia told Li Xingqi, "Forget it, it's getting late now, and I still need to go back and pack up my shopping. I'll come back next time I have a chance. I've seen a lot of monster specimens anyway."

Li Xingqi said to Cordilauria, "That's true. Many noble families like to display stuffed monsters and monster heads."

At this point, I have to interrupt again. Of the two mid-level monster carcasses that You Jiahui had previously sold to the Merchant Guild, one was taxidermied and then auctioned off by the Merchant Guild. Naturally, the participants in the auction were all wealthy nobles or major merchants. They were particularly interested in this highly collectible "luxury item."

Afterwards, after Yang Mingyi said goodbye to Minyas, the three girls walked out of the Adventurer's Guild together.

Yang Mingyi's outing for the day ended at the Adventurer's Guild.

Just now, in the Adventurer's Guild, two girls were so engrossed in their illustrated guide, while Yang Mingyi was lost in thought. None of them noticed the lights had been turned on. When they stepped outside, they realized it was already dark. They had just walked together in the darkness.

Just as the three girls were about to get on the carriage, Cordilauria suddenly asked Yang Mingyi, "Hey? Mingyi, something's wrong! Didn't you say you had seen the monster encyclopedia before? Then why did you ask the receptionist where the 'encyclopedia' was?" She had been completely attracted by the monsters recorded in the encyclopedia, and only at this moment did she recall the thing that made her feel "wrong" before.

After hearing what Cordilauria said, Li Xingqi also began to doubt Yang Mingyi.

The two girls just stared at Yang Mingyi.

Yang Mingyi quickly replied to Cordelia, "I heard about that illustrated book from other adventurers, and today was my first time looking at it." Her story was pretty much accurate; the adventurer group had indeed told her that the Adventurer's Guild had an illustrated book containing monsters. She simply didn't mention that she'd heard about it in the dungeon, nor did she claim to have seen the monster herself.

Cordelia said to Yang Mingyi, "Oh, so that's how it is." At this point, she thought to herself, "Right, she didn't say she'd seen the illustrated guide, she just said the Adventurer's Guild had one. Hmm, I misjudged her."

Li Xingqi asked Yang Mingyi, "So what quests have you done in the Adventurer's Guild? I haven't heard you talk about it before."

Yang Mingyi calmly answered Li Xingqi and said, "They are just a few missions to defeat mid-level monsters. But Jiahui fought all the monsters alone, and I didn't help much." What she said was the truth, so it was very natural when she said it, and there was nothing strange about it.

Li Xingqi said to Cordeira, "Oh! That's why she was knighted by His Majesty the King."

Cordelia lowered her head in thought, muttering, "So that's why. I only heard it was because she liberated the Hussia Forest and the Dead Flow River. So, I wonder how she did it."

Yang Mingyi said to the two girls, "Yes! That's why." After that, she walked to the front of the carriage to light the lamp.

At this moment, facing Yang Mingyi's fluent responses, Cordelia and Li Xingqi didn't find anything unreasonable in her words. Therefore, they no longer doubted Yang Mingyi. Afterwards, the two girls boarded the carriage together.

Why was Yang Mingyi able to answer so naturally? Actually, Yang Mingyi hadn't been seriously looking at the illustrated guide in the Adventurer's Guild just now. She was just thinking about what the two girls would ask, so she had already thought of the answers in advance.

Taking advantage of the bright moonlight at this time of night, and the flickering lights on the broad main road, the three girls sat in the carriage and slowly returned to the palace...

Afterwards, after Yang Mingyi and the two girls returned to the palace, something else happened. But let's not talk about that for now, because there's something more important to discuss first.

Since we're already talking about Yang Mingyi, how could we not mention You Jiahui? She happened to be in the shopping district this afternoon, but she had no chance to run into Yang Mingyi. She wasn't here to hang out, but to discuss something with the president of the Merchants Guild. What was that about? So, we have to start from this morning...
