Perhaps it was the sound of the door opening that startled Li Sushang awake, who was fast asleep with snot bubbles coming out of her nose.
Upon seeing Bai Zhi's somewhat surprised gaze, she quickly explained, "Lady Bai Zhi..."
"Okay, no need to explain, I understand. Training has been tough lately, right?"
Bai Zhi asked with a smile.
"Yes, Lady Baizhi is right. I've been training day and night these past few days. I was just too tired, so I fell asleep leaning against the wall."
"I understand, therefore, Su Chang obeys!"
"Yes!"
Fairy Boat Girl immediately stood at attention.
"Take Miss Artoria and Miss Nito to learn about our Celestial Ship, and treat them to some of its special delicacies. The budget is 20 credits, which I will transfer to you."
Chapter 894 Miss Artoria, let me introduce you to Xiao Guizi
"Hey, Miss Artoria and Miss Nitocris seem to be non-human beings."
Li Sushang led Artoria to Xuanye Avenue in the central hub of Xingchahai. After buying three cups of Immortal's Joy Tea from the shopkeeper of Buyeyehou, she handed them to the two of them and then asked them with some curiosity.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. If you two don't want to talk about it, that's fine too. Actually, I'm just curious. I've never seen Lady Baizhi bring anyone back on her own initiative before."
Realizing that her words seemed somewhat abrupt, Li Sushang belatedly scratched her head and hurriedly offered an explanation.
"It's alright, we are indeed non-Chinese."
Although they had never heard the term "barbarians" before, Artoria and Nitocris clearly had a good understanding of it and were able to roughly guess its meaning.
“My name is Artoria, and the lady next to me is Nitocris. I come from a country called Camelot, and Miss Nitocris comes from Egypt.”
After Artoria finished speaking, she took a small sip of the Celestial Joy Tea and her eyes lit up. This kind of sweet treat, which was full of sugar and had an extremely high calorie content, was obviously something that no normal human could resist.
So she calmly began to sip the Fairy Happy Tea.
This stuff is way better than Gawain's mashed potatoes.
When Li Sushang had drunk half of the cup of Fairy Joy Tea, she nodded in confusion. For some reason, she felt that she had heard of the country called Camelot that Artoria had mentioned somewhere before.
It feels strangely familiar.
"Strange, where have I heard that before?"
Li Sushang searched her empty mind for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion—
I'm sure I've heard this place name before in class, but I can't remember it now!
As for the sense of familiarity, it's definitely because I was hit on the head by the teacher's chalk during that class, which made the memory a little more vivid.
Well, that's it.
So Li Sushang happily cast this idea to the ends of the universe.
"Hehe, how about it? Our Fairy Happy Tea from Fairy Boat tastes pretty good, right? Hey, let me tell you, there's actually an even more amazing secret recipe for Fairy Happy Tea, but I don't usually tell anyone."
Li Sushang spoke mysteriously to the two of them.
"An even more powerful secret recipe? Would it taste even better?"
Artoria immediately became interested. This Celestial Joy Tea is already so delicious, if you add that so-called secret recipe, wouldn't it be an absolute delicacy?
Li Sushang lowered her voice, looked around, and only after confirming that no one was looking at her did she say, "This secret recipe is actually the water from the Lin Yuan Realm."
"Scale Abyss Realm? What's that?"
Artoria was somewhat confused.
"Oh dear, I forgot you're barbarians. Look at my brain."
Li Sushang tapped her head before continuing, "That is the homeland of the Vidyadhara clan, and also the place where many Vidyadharas are reborn."
"Lady Baizhi was also born there~"
"The sea there is also the source of Lin Yuan Ice Spring. Just one sip is enough to make you feel very satisfied. Paired with the ingredients of Immortal's Happy Tea, tsk tsk."
Li Sushang's eyes were practically sparkling.
"Hey, now that you mention it, wait a minute, I'll go buy some Lin Yuan Ice Spring water to try."
After the girl finished speaking, she quickly got up from her seat at the milk tea stall and ran to a nearby vending machine to buy two bottles of Lin Yuan Ice Spring water.
"Here, give it a try. I guarantee it'll taste good. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I feel like this. After one cup, I feel full of energy, and I even have the strength to swing my sword."
Li Sushang handed the two bottles of Lin Yuan Ice Spring water to Nitocris and Artoria respectively, looking at them expectantly.
Nitocris and Artoria exchanged a glance. Seeing Li Sushang's enthusiasm, they could only take the two bottles of Lin Yuan Ice Spring water, open the caps, and pour them into the Immortal's Happy Tea, which they had drunk quite a bit of.
Artoria tried a sip of the Fairy Joy Tea that had gone from half a cup to a full cup. To her surprise, although the sweetness and milk content had decreased, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
This sense of satisfaction also brought a touch of pleasure.
Overall, it was a very good experience.
"Right, right, I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Seeing their expressions, Li Sushang smiled smugly, "This method was taught to me by a good friend of mine."
"She's very good at creating something interesting in all sorts of ways."
"Oh, by the way, Lady Baizhi asked me to show you two around the Immortal Ship. My friend is actually quite well-connected on the ship. I'll take you to her; she'll definitely be able to broaden your horizons more than I can."
"I will leave everything to Miss Su Chang's arrangements."
Artoria had no objections, after all, she could see that this Miss Li Sushang was truly a kind and simple person, which was probably why Bai Zhi wanted her to take her and Miss Nito to tour this place known as the Fairy Boat.
"Okay, I'll text my friend right away."
Li Sushang took out her phone and sent a message to her friend Gui Naifen, telling her to come over quickly.
Only after receiving confirmation did she happily put down her phone.
"To be honest, my friend is actually an internet celebrity. Recently, she's been making videos like 'essential travel guides for out-of-towners visiting Luofu.'"
"Internet celebrity?"
Nito was somewhat puzzled by the term.
"They're just internet celebrities, huh? Oh, you two, don't you know what the internet is?"
"I know a little bit about it... well, it's something that allows people to chat and exchange information remotely."
Artoria had fought in several Holy Grail Wars and had seen computers and networks before, so she was quite knowledgeable about them, while Nitocris was somewhat lacking in this area.
"Oh……"
Nito nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Hey, Miss Su Chang, what are you doing here? Are you on duty today?"
A voice caught the attention of several people.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a short girl with brown hair and wearing a light blue dress walked over.
"Miss Qingque, oh, what are you doing at the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub at this time? Isn't it the Taibu Si's working hours?"
Hearing this question, Qingque chuckled dryly, "I'm just buying some Immortal's Joy Tea for Lord Fu Xuan, and I also came here to visit my card-playing friends."
"Miss Su Chang, are these two your friends?"
Qingque looked Artoria and Nitocris up and down, then asked Li Sushang.
Chapter 895 Miss Artoria, hello, I am Guinevere
"No, these are Lady Baizhi's distinguished guests. This is Miss Artoria, and this is Miss Nito. This must be their first time visiting our Luofu Immortal Ship. I am here as their guide to show them around the ship's unique features."
Li Sushang said earnestly.
"You two are honored guests of Lady Baizhi. We understand. Would you like to try our Immortal Ship's unique Imperial Jade?"
"Eh?"
Li Sushang was stunned for a moment, and after a couple of seconds she hesitated before saying, "Miss Qingque, isn't this inappropriate?"
Bringing people to tour the fairy boat, only to have them play cards instead, seems a bit far-fetched.
Even she would find it very problematic.
"Oh, what's the big deal? You know, our Fairy Ship not only has food, but also fun things to do. And just by looking at Miss Nito's appearance, I can tell she must be very talented at playing cards."
"Maybe he's the kind of person who'll engage in a dark duel at the slightest disagreement."
Qingque made a few cool moves, "I'll stake everything, my turn, draw a card, and your life will be as fragile as a candle in the wind!"
“Miss Qingque… what you’re saying doesn’t sound like Imperial Jade, but rather like some strange card game.”
Even with Li Sushang's intelligence, she felt this was a bit too outrageous.
"Don't worry about the details. We can play with the Imperial Jade in the same way. In fact, a company from Edo contacted me recently, saying that because I was the one who discovered and perfected the Imperial Jade, they wanted me to star in a drama about a genius girl named Imperial Jade, and I could also be the screenwriter for that drama."
"Those cool lines from earlier, if we adapted them and put them in that show, it would be amazing!"
"Hehe, I might just become rich overnight by relying on this show, then quit my job at the Bureau of Taxation and live a life of leisure."
"At that time, Miss Sushang can call me President Qing!"
Li Sushang looked at the short Qingque and felt it was hard to imagine that Qingque was called "Chief Qing".
That probably describes someone who has no dignity whatsoever.
"I think...it's not impossible?"
Nito hesitated for a moment, then whispered that she was genuinely interested in what Qingque had said about the Imperial Jade.
She wasn't a particularly serious person, and she had played card and board games before, even in her day.
"what?"
Li Sushang opened her mouth, "Miss Nito, do you really want to try the Imperial Jade?"
"Yes, I think Miss Qingque is right. The unique features of Xianzhou are not only its food, but also its culture and entertainment. Experiencing the unique features of this place through entertainment is a great idea."
"See, Miss Nito is willing too. As for Lady Baizhi's matter, I'll talk to her about it later. Lady Baizhi is kind-hearted and will definitely not hold it against her."
Qingque stood with her hands on her hips, looking like a victorious little bird.
"Well... alright then, Miss Qingque, please take good care of Miss Nito."
After Nitocris expressed her opinion, Li Sushang was easily persuaded. In any case, Qingque was also a member of the Taipusi and not a dangerous element. Letting Nitocris go with Qingque might allow them to visit more places and experience more.
"Don't worry, I may be lazy, but I never let anyone down."
"Qingque said confidently."
"Shangshang, I'm here."
A cheerful voice rang out, and Li Sushang felt someone press her shoulder.
"Little Gui Zi, you're here?"
She turned around with some surprise, and sure enough, it was her good friend, Gui Naifen.
"Hmm, as soon as I heard you needed me to show your friends from other places around the Immortal Ship, I rushed over immediately. Hey, is that friend this person?"
Gui Naifen looked at Artoria.
For some reason, she felt that although Artoria seemed like a serious person, she inexplicably gave off a sense of warmth.
She has that kind of vibe that her older brother has.
"Yes, this is Miss Artoria. She was brought here by Lady Baizhi. She's probably still quite unfamiliar with our Immortal Ship, which is why I thought of you, Xiao Guizi."
“You often wander the streets and alleys, so you are much more familiar with the Fairy Ship than I am. It’s perfect to take Miss Artoria with you to explore the area.”
"Hello, Ms. Gui Naifen."
Artoria reached out her hand, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with Gui Naifen.
"Hello, hello, I am Gui Naifen. Although I am not a celestial being like Changshang, I have lived in Luofu for many years. Many friends say that I am an expert on the Immortal Boat. For someone like Miss Artoria who is new to the place, I can help you get acquainted quickly."
Gui Naifen also extended her hand and shook hands with Artoria.
"I knew Xiao Guizi would be fine, but speaking of which, Xiao Guizi seems to have the same name as Miss Artoria, that of a non-human being."
