Chapter 354
"This is... Senior Chu?"
Wearing a purple dress that appeared mature and gentle.
Her black long hair was braided and placed among the turbulent mountains, giving a dangerously tempting criminal feeling.
Combined with the girl's virtuous and approachable aura like a neighborhood big sister and her beautiful face.
Just one glance made Su Mo's heart ache slightly.
Senior Chu, how did she get here too?
Could it be that in the Dayun truck incident, she hadn't successfully saved her?
So she also followed her through time?
Just as Su Mo was murmuring, a notification sound suddenly rang in her mind.
[Ding, detected host's inner thoughts. Challenge System warm reminder: the female the host currently sees is not the 'Chu Tianlan' the host knows. Can be viewed as a parallel character of female 'Chu Tianlan' from the same timeline, but due to different growth environments, personality will also change accordingly. Please note, host.]
Hearing this notification, Su Mo first froze slightly—it seemed she had successfully protected Senior Chu!
Then came a wave of joy, because she was now in another world and could still encounter the parallel world's Senior Chu.
Didn't this mean that her bond with Senior Chu was so deep?
This was really too coincidental!
Perhaps it was Chu Tianlan's familiar gentle face and aura that made Su Mo relax her guard somewhat.
After observing for quite a while longer and confirming there were no other people in the small caravan, Su Mo emerged from behind the big tree where she'd been hiding.
From the lush trees walked out a girl in stunning cherry pink—the color itself was eye-catching.
Not to mention Su Mo's originally beautiful appearance, the faint refreshing fragrance around her, and the sacred, unattainable pure aura brought by the Saintess Constitution after arriving in this other world.
As soon as Su Mo emerged from behind the big tree, she seemed to carry a protagonist spotlight-like halo that was completely impossible to ignore.
The purple-dressed girl spotted Su Mo immediately.
Looking at Su Mo's stunning beauty, the purple-dressed girl's long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a faint green glow, licking her crimson lips somewhat thirstily like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.
Under her purple bare dress, a thin tail with a heart shape also excitedly stood up as if discovering prey.
However, this excitement completely disappeared like an illusion when the purple-dressed girl saw the sharp bone umbrella in Su Mo's hand and sensed the sacred aura around Su Mo. She replaced it with a gentle smile like a neighborhood big sister, raising her slender wrist and calling out:
"Traveler, are you here to buy some items?"
Because of the great distance, Su Mo hadn't noticed the momentary change in Chu Tianlan's expression.
Now hearing Chu Tianlan call her 'traveler.'
Although Su Mo felt it was somewhat incongruous for a merchant to suddenly appear selling goods in this monster-infested forest, and for the boss to be a beautiful girl.
Perhaps due to the familiar feeling around Chu Tianlan, or because the shop sold shoes, and she was currently in desperate need of information, Su Mo finally gathered her courage to walk forward, while walking she also stayed alert to her surroundings for any goblins hidden in the grass.
After all, when escaping earlier, Su Mo had discovered that the demons in this other world didn't wear clothes.
And the goblins were all male—if she were pounced on by goblins and surrounded, that would... really be too sorry to her man's heart.
Perhaps seeing Su Mo's defensive posture, the purple-dressed girl's mouth curved into a gentle smile as she softly reminded:
"Traveler... oh, looking at you, you should be Lady Saintess who came to subjugate the Demon King. Is this your first time in the Lust Shadow Forest? I've lit demon-repelling campfires here—demons won't approach, please rest assured!"
Lust Shadow Forest?
Hearing this clearly wrong name, Su Mo's mood became somewhat complicated.
But hearing that no demons would approach, Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As she gripped her bone umbrella and got closer to Chu Tianlan.
Su Mo noticed something incongruous.
Emmmmmmmmmm was it her imagination?
Why did her lower abdomen seem to be heating up slightly, as if encountering something similar?
But Su Mo didn't pay too much attention to this.
She just attributed it to the campfire's temperature.
Taking steps, when Su Mo reached Chu Tianlan's cart, she saw the goods being sold in the cart.
Perhaps due to the other world's production technology, the goods sold in the cart were somewhat simple and crude.
Crude-looking cowhide short boots, dry little bread that old European men would eat, a rusty tetanus iron sword, and some light green unknown potion bottles... On these items were placed signs with other world writing, with prices ranging from 5-20.
Looking at these goods, Su Mo extended her pale little hand and pointed at the price tags on the wooden signs with some confusion:
"Senior Chu... that shop owner, hiss~"
Su Mo originally wanted to ask about prices, but as she spoke, her bare jade feet accidentally stepped on a small branch, causing her to hop slightly and suck in air sharply through her crimson lips.
The purple-dressed girl was already quite excited seeing Su Mo's stunning beauty and Saintess's aura.
Now seeing Su Mo's pale, delicate little feet beautiful as palms, just imagining... licking these little feet once would be much more delicious and interesting than those greedy adventurers in her cart.
But sensing the sacred aura around Su Mo and the threat from her bone umbrella.
The purple-dressed girl ultimately suppressed the impulse of her little tail under her skirt with her hands, looking at Su Mo's pure face and formulating an interesting plan in her heart.
Emmmmmmmm it seemed the current Saintess was very crisis-aware, making rash action extremely dangerous.
Better to take it slowly, gradually dyeing this pure Saintess with her own colors.
Having made this decision, looking at Su Mo's pale little feet, the purple-dressed girl walked to Su Mo's side, picking up a potion while introducing:
"Lady Saintess, I'm called Lin Haibolan Chu'er, just call me Chu'er. Your feet are injured—do you need to buy a potion? Only 5 Telang coins, and it will cure you immediately."
Hearing the purple-dressed girl's name was actually eight parts similar to Chu Tianlan's name.
Su Mo couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.
Because Senior Chu and the purple-dressed girl in front of her had similar names, just changed to Western style.
Didn't that mean the Demon King named Shallow Silk in this parallel world might be that evil black-hearted loli An Xiaoqian?
Silently shivering, she felt that if she fell into the Demon King's hands, that would be really miserable...
Facing the green potion in Chu'er's... uh... still call her Senior Chu's hand, Su Mo honestly really wanted it.
After all, having wounds on her feet that stung slightly when walking was really uncomfortable.
But thinking that she was currently penniless, Su Mo finally shook her little head honestly and spoke:
"Mm~ no thanks, Sister Chu'er, I don't have enough money... Telang coins right now."
Hearing Su Mo's explanation, Chu Tianlan's gentle face showed a hint of joy.
No money... no money was great!
After her long phoenix eyes swayed slightly in their sockets twice, Chu Tianlan directly handed the green bottle to Su Mo, then picked out a size 35 small leather boot and handed it over together, saying:
"Lady Saintess, not having Telang coins is fine. You subjugating the Demon King is for humanity's sake—consider these two items my support. Of course, if Lady Saintess could help me with a small favor, that would be great."
Hearing Chu Tianlan's tone shift to making a request, Su Mo faintly had a bad premonition.
But feeling her currently abundant physical attributes and looking at the sharp bone umbrella in her hand, Su Mo gained some confidence.
"A small favor? Tell me about it."
"Lust Shadow Forest belongs to Succubus Demon King Lilith's territory. This forest subtly spreads the Demon King's evil demonic aura. In this aura, anyone entering this forest cannot escape, and their body will be influenced by this aura, with thinking and body being subtly changed, accumulating large amounts of lust web."
"Lady Saintess... I've been in this Lust Shadow Forest for a long time... blah blah... and the demons' sizes are too enormous, so I'd like to request that Lady Saintess could help me a little—just let me hug you with your sacred aura, that would be enough."
A hug?
Just that?
That simple?
Hearing this completely reasonable request, Su Mo was somewhat surprised—could her sacred aura actually have purifying effects?
Though somewhat puzzled, looking at the potion and little boots in her hands, following the principle of not accepting rewards without merit, Su Mo finally nodded her little head in agreement.
Somewhat worried about problems, Su Mo didn't put down the bone umbrella weapon given by the Saintess statue, slowly walking to Chu Tianlan's side, slightly opening her arms and gently embracing Chu Tianlan.
Perhaps the other world's clothing didn't include women's undergarments.
After embracing Chu Tianlan, Su Mo could super clearly feel the bouncy collision of big white rabbits and the beautiful girl's soft skin. Smelling Chu Tianlan's unique lavender fragrance, Su Mo, who had unexpectedly come to the other world, finally relaxed her nerves somewhat.
Just as Su Mo was enjoying this super soft embrace, she didn't notice a tail with a heart-shaped mark quietly emerging from under Chu Tianlan's skirt.
Its tip carried a small sachet, quietly hanging it on Su Mo's cute sky-blue ribbon panties, emanating barely perceptible pink alluring aura.
After doing all this, Chu Tianlan ended the embrace, feeling Su Mo while lowering her head to lightly lick her crimson lips.
After this, just wait for my little Saintess to walk into the trap!
