The boss shouted at the top of his voice. His words, mixed with the wind, reached Rong Lan's ears.
Having already told such a big lie, Rong Lan certainly couldn't admit at this moment that she actually had no intention of proposing in the first place. Through the visible net of the headgear, she watched the cars speeding on the road, then let out a long sigh. Raising her voice, she said, "I saw someone propose while wearing a mascot suit. I thought it was really interesting, so I wanted to imitate it and see if the person I like would be surprised."
Her words were half - true and half - false. The proposal was a lie, but the reason she thought of the mascot suit was indeed that on her way here, she saw someone wearing a mascot suit outside the mall to attract customers. When she wanted to hide herself, the mascot suit she had seen not long ago just came to her mind instinctively.
"Wish you success!"
"Okay!"
It took about ten minutes for the tricycle to reach the small garden where Rong Lan had just been. There were still not many people in the small garden at this time. Rong Lan thought she had already mastered how to control this mascot suit well and wanted to be cool by getting off the tricycle in the most handsome way.
So, she stood up and leaped out of the carriage. However, the mascot suit was top - heavy. She couldn't stand steadily and staggered, almost falling flat on her face.
The boss was startled. "Be careful! If you get injured, I won't pay your medical bills."
Rong Lan was also scared into a cold sweat. After she steadied herself, she turned to wave at the boss. "Thank you, boss."
Sure enough, being cool wasn't her thing.
The boss waved at her and drove away. Rong Lan watched the boss's handsome back as he drove away with a cigarette in his mouth. Then she turned around and entered the small park. Since it was only 4 p.m., the office workers were still at work and the students were still at school, so there were still few people in the small park. The seat she had just sat on was empty.
She trotted over and plopped down on the two - person stone bench. Leaning back, she let out a sigh of relief.
Next, all she had to do was sit here quietly and observe the passers - by. According to the original owner's memory, her biological father would take a walk in the small park every evening. She didn't believe she was so unlucky that her father wouldn't pass by her when he was taking a walk. The small park wasn't that big.
Rong Lan adjusted her headgear, occupied the whole stone bench like a lord, folded her arms across her chest, and started to daze.
She didn't know how long she had been in a daze when suddenly she heard a clear call of "little fox".
She suddenly remembered the ghost Bai Rong Lan who had called her "little fox" when she first came to this world. But this voice now wasn't that of a girl's, but more like that of a young teenager.
She looked up and saw the person standing in front of her. Her fox heart skipped a beat.
Who was this person? She couldn't even see the thread of cause and effect on him. Could it be that he was a spirit like her?
The fifteen - or sixteen - year - old boy with black hair and black pupils frowned slightly. There seemed to be an eternal ice on his face. His cold expression made Rong Lan, who was already sweating from the heat inside the mascot suit, shiver slightly. The hot sweat instantly turned into cold sweat.
The boy looked like a proud "I'm not easy to mess with" type. But he just gently pushed the shoulder of the white fox mascot. "You little fox, why are you so domineering and occupy the whole bench? Move over a bit and make room for me."
Rong Lan hesitated for a moment but still obediently shrank to the side and sat up straight, making a space for the boy to sit. Her eyes were always fixed on him and she couldn't bear to look away.
He was definitely not an ordinary human. But she had been in this world for so long and had never seen a spirit other than herself. She thought there were no spirits in this world at all.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in this world was so thin that it was not suitable for cultivation at all.
Unless the spirits in this world used different spiritual power for cultivation from hers.
The boy sat down on the seat Rong Lan had made for him. He pushed her mascot headgear away with a look of disgust. "Why are you wearing this thing?"
Rong Lan was shocked. She thought he called her "little fox" because she was wearing a fox headgear. But now it seemed that wasn't the case from his words. "Why do you call me little fox?"
"Huh? Isn't it obvious?" Rong Lan's question made the boy doubt himself. He took a deep look at Rong Lan, as if he could see directly into the depths of her soul through the mascot suit. "Snow - white all over, but with a tail and claws as red as flames, and those heterochromatic fox eyes. Isn't this a fox? It can't be a cat that looks like a fox, right?"
Rong Lan: "......"
She was on high alert. The appearance he described was exactly what she looked like. She couldn't see the thread of cause and effect on him, and he could see through her true form. He must be extraordinary.
"Are you a spirit too?" Rong Lan probed.
"Spirit?" A look of confusion appeared on the boy's face. "I don't think I'm a spirit. Instead, I didn't expect that there would be a spirit in this world with such thin spiritual power."
If he wasn't a spirit, then what was he?! Rong Lan roared in her heart. Couldn't be a god, could he?!
However... "Judging from what you said, it seems that you're not from this world..."
The boy readily admitted. "I'm really not from this world. I accidentally fell into this world. I've been wandering in this world for three or four days, thinking I could find my kind, but unexpectedly, I only met you, this fox spirit."
Rong Lan was silent for a while. "Let's make a deal. Don't call me fox spirit. I don't like this name."
Since she knew that this name was not a compliment in the human society, she had strongly refused anyone to call her that. If it had been in the past, when she heard someone call her fox spirit, she would surely have a fight with them.
"Why can't I tell what your true form is? Is it because your cultivation level is higher than mine?" Rong Lan was puzzled.
He knew a lot about her, but she couldn't get any information from him. This made her feel vaguely uneasy.
What if he was much stronger than her? What if they became enemies in the future? Wouldn't she be in big trouble if she knew nothing about him?
"You can't tell what my true form is?" The boy was even more surprised than Rong Lan.
Rong Lan nodded. "I can't."
"Maybe it's because you're wearing a headgear? Why don't you take it off and try again?" the boy guessed unreliably. He didn't deliberately hide himself, so it was really strange that she couldn't tell what his true form was.
Rong Lan shook her head firmly. "No way. This headgear is my hard - won disguise. What if the person I'm going to meet just passes by me when I take off the headgear?"
Although her curiosity about this young man now had exceeded that for her biological father.
She was so curious about what species he was. After all, accidentally falling into this world meant that he had the ability to travel through worlds without being torn apart by the world rift. He was definitely not a weakling.
