"Hey, young man, you want to meet the Saintess? Thatâs easy. Just follow this street north, keep going until you hit a T-junction, then turn east. After three traffic lights, continue north at the fourth intersection, and youâll reach it."
"I see, thank you so much, sir!"
"No rush, young man. Thereâs a bus over there. If you walk there, itâll take forever. See across the road? Take bus 302, about twenty stops, get off at Cathedral of Light station, and itâs just a short walk. You can see it from afar, itâs huge."
"Thanks, sir. When I came, I heard thereâs a supermarket called... what was it... Skinny Dongâs that gives two kilos of eggs. Arenât you going to check it out?"
"Hmm? Is there really? Iâll go check it out right away! Goodbye! Remember, buy a ticket for your big dog when you get on the bus, or else they wonât let him ride!"
"Got it, thanks for the tip. Goodbye, sir, take care!"
Ending the conversation with the helpful old man, Lu Wenwu nodded towards the stunned Lan Shan, gesturing towards the bus stop.
"What are you staring at? Letâs go, take the bus!"
Lan Shanâs face looked dumbfounded: "Wait...did we just ask for directions? Swoosh! Isnât this a bit too hasty?"
Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow: "Hasty? Didnât I get directions like this before?"
Lan Shan blushed: "Swoosh! I thought youâd catch a âtongueâ secretly, and then use all kinds of methods to torture and interrogate... Thatâs how itâs done in all the TV shows!"
"...Iâm just asking for directions, sneaking around is one thing, but why torture and interrogate?" Lu Wenwu found this little dolphinâs logic somewhat strange.
He grabbed Mao Mao and Lan Shan by their arms and headed straight to the bus stop.
Half an hour later, after waiting a long time, Master Lu ultimately decided to use his feet for the journey.
It wasnât that Mao Mao couldnât get on the bus.
The main issue was...
Lu Wenwu had already boarded the bus, but upon attempting to pay, he found out that he always gets zero-price purchases and lacked any funds from this World.
Not to mention the currency issued in Light Realm.
Hence, Lu Wenwu got off the bus with Mao Mao, feeling a bit dejected.
He then resolutely started walking in front of Lan Shanâs skeptical eyes.
Lan Shan looked at his lonely back and desperately wanted to shout.
"Brother Wu! Weâre here to fight the BOSS! Do we really need to stick to the rules like this?"
But Lu Wenwuâs unique and unconventional thinking likely meant shouting wouldnât help.
By afternoon, having walked near their destination, Lan Shan felt that the earlier hours were somewhat surreal.
Before going to battle, people usually have majestic battle wagons, super cool flying mounts, or fiercely awesome war beasts.
Who goes to fight a BOSS by taking the bus?
Itâs even more ridiculous to go on foot because you donât have money to ride the bus!
Just when Lan Shan thought this was the peak of absurdity, Brother Wu performed an even more baffling action.
Sincerely making a reservation as per procedure!
Yes, a reservation to see the Saintess!
Before this, Lan Shan imagined countless scenarios of facing the Light Apostle.
There was the sudden confrontation leading to a fierce battle, or storming the enemyâs lair causing chaos, or even gathering armies for a duel on the battlefield.
Both sides with flags flying, a bugle sounded, and they immediately clashed.
But Lan Shan never thought theyâd meet the Light Apostle through a reservation!
When the two were led by staff into a grand prayer room and saw the self-proclaimed Saintess, the Light Apostle, Lan Shanâs heart felt a little shattered.
This magical operation and process.
Incredibly!
Truly!
They met the Apostle!
Simply inexplicable!
