Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Chi Linglong behind her also paused slightly. The female official in green subconsciously rubbed her toes lightly on the tile, as if to confirm whether it was really a stone.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the lobby, with dozens of bulbs shining simultaneously, illuminating the entire lobby as bright as day.

The light was neither candlelight nor oil lamp light; it had no flickering flames or smoky smell. It was soft and steady, like sunlight being contained in a glass dome.

The Empress looked up at the lamp, remained silent for a long while, and then slowly spoke:

"It doesn't need fire or oil, so what is this thing?"

"Your Majesty, this is called an electric light."

"Electricity? Like the lightning from that sky?"

"I guess so!"

The Empress nodded, gave Lin Mo a deep look, and didn't ask any further questions.

But the shock in those phoenix eyes was so intense it couldn't be concealed.

Lin Mo can actually use lightning from the sky?

Is he really a deity descended to earth?

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment while I prepare a few guest rooms for you."

Lin Mo bowed slightly and turned to walk towards the hotel lobby reception desk.

The receptionist was tidying up the check-in forms when she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw a young man in an official robe approaching.

Cangwu County is now a well-known tourist destination in the surrounding area.

Many officials bring their families here for sightseeing.

In addition, Lin Mo's portraits have always featured him in modern casual wear.

He usually keeps a low profile and rarely appears in Cangwu County. The waitress didn't recognize him at first glance as the legendary immortal from Lianhai County!

They assumed he was some official visiting from out of town and politely asked:

"Hello sir, do you need to check in?"

"Give me a luxury suite."

The waitress glanced down at the registration form, then looked up with an apologetic smile:

"I'm sorry, sir, the hotel only has three standard rooms and one double room left."

Lin Mo turned to look at the Empress and the others. Seeing that they could squeeze in, he nodded in agreement.

"Then let's book three standard rooms and one large room!"

Anyway, the Empress hadn't seen much of the world and didn't know what was good or bad.

After taking the room key from the waiter, Lin Mo returned to the lobby and gestured to the Empress, leading her and Chi Linglong up the stairs.

Upon opening the guest room door, the Empress and Chi Linglong stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

In the center of the room stood a large bed covered with snow-white sheets, and a small table lamp on the bedside table cast a soft glow that made the whole room feel warm and comfortable.

A writing desk and a cushioned chair were placed by the window, and the light gray cotton and linen curtains were gently swaying in the evening breeze.

But what first caught the Empress's eye was the half-open door in the corner.

Inside the door was a separate bathroom with a spotless white porcelain toilet, a glass mirror above the sink, and a sample of soap from Lianhai Trading Company next to it.

Chi Linglong went in first. She walked around the bathroom, frowning as she studied the structure of the white porcelain toilet for a long time, and finally couldn't help but turn around and ask:

"Prefect Lin, what is this?"

"toilet.

It's for convenience.

The button next to it, just press it and you can flush the water; the dirty stuff will automatically go down to the septic tank.

That's a bar of soap on the sink, for washing hands and showering. It lathers up easily and leaves skin feeling soft and supple after washing.

Lin Mo stood at the door, introducing the place in a calm tone.

Chi Linglong stared at the toilet for several moments before pressing the flush button with her finger.

With a whoosh, clear water gushed from the tank, swirled around the inside of the toilet bowl, and disappeared cleanly.

A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her usual cold demeanor, only glancing back at the toilet as she stepped out.

The Empress did not personally press the flush button, but her gaze swept back and forth in the bathroom several times.

From the white porcelain toilet to the glass mirror, from the sink to the towel rack, every detail deepened the shock in her eyes.

Her bedroom in the imperial palace in the capital was already the most luxurious room in the Great Xia Dynasty, but she had to admit that compared with the "king-size bed room" that Lin Mo mentioned, her bedroom was like a cave of primitive people.

After showing them three more standard rooms, Lin Mo respectfully took his leave, citing the late hour and the need not disturb His Majesty's rest.

The empress did not try to stop her. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently pressing her fingers against the mattress, feeling the strange sensation of the springs bouncing in her palm.

Once Lin Mo's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, she slowly stood up, walked to the window, and pushed open the glass window.

The town of Cangwu outside the window did not fall silent as night fell. The glass streetlights on both sides of the street illuminated the entire main street as bright as day. People came and went on the street, and the shops along the street were brightly lit. There was a long queue in front of the stinky tofu stall, and sparks flew from the charcoal stove for grilling gluten. A faint aroma that she had never smelled before wafted in the air.

The Empress leaned against the window and looked out for a long time, then suddenly turned to Chi Linglong and said:

"Linglong, change into casual clothes and come with me to take a look."

The two changed into ordinary clothes for wealthy women. Chi Linglong also took off her blue shirt and changed into a plain long dress. The two blended into the crowd of shoppers and did not stand out.

The empress walked along the main street, stopping frequently, and for the first time stopped in front of a stinky tofu stall.

The smell made her frown, but the long queue in front of the stall made her unable to resist her curiosity.

Chi Linglong stepped forward and bought two portions. The Empress took them and looked at the dark, sizzling, oily cubes in the box. She hesitated for a while before using a bamboo skewer to poke a piece and put it in her mouth.

Then her eyes lit up.

She had never experienced that crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, pungent yet fragrant taste in her life.

"What is this?"

The empress chewed on stinky tofu and asked indistinctly.

"Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes delicious; it's a specialty of Lianhai."

Chi Linglong had already eaten several pieces, and there was still a small piece of chili skin stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Next up were grilled gluten, grilled squid, and then bubble tea.

The Empress held the cup of milk tea with the thick straw in it, took a sip, and was immediately captivated by the chewy and bouncy little black dumplings.

Chi Linglong went even further. After finishing one cup, she paid for another one herself, frowning as she studied how the pearls were inserted into the straw.

"Your Majesty, how was this thing inserted?"

The straw is so thick, and the pearls are so big and so black…”

"I don't know either."

The Empress waved her hand, focusing on her bubble tea.

Half an hour later, the Empress and Chi Linglong sat on a bench by the roadside. Neither of them spoke, but they silently touched their slightly protruding bellies.

As the night breeze blew by, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and the vendors began to pack up their stalls.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the Empress sent Chi Linglong to summon Lin Mo to prepare for their journey.

She tossed and turned all night, barely sleeping a wink.

The impact of Cangwu County on her was truly profound.

The cement city walls, the glazed streetlights, the electric lights, the flush toilets, and the bustling night market that lasts until late at night—everything exceeded her expectations of what a county town should be like.

If Cangwu is like this, then what about Lianhai...?

Lin Mo's true foundation!

What will it be like?

She tossed and turned on the spring mattress, her mind filled with images of Lianhai County. The more she thought about it, the less she could sleep, so before dawn she simply sat up.
