A Young Woman's Heart

Chapter 254 The Dragon Palace! (Part 2)

(One)

The beautiful celestial music began to change its tune, and the Dragon Palace transformed from a celestial abode into a hellish demon's lair.

The Dragon King turned his head, revealing a huge dragon head, and the fairies also turned their heads, revealing their true forms.

There are goldfish heads, turtle heads, and catfish heads...

The combination of the unpredictable lighting and eerie music creates a chilling atmosphere that makes one feel uneasy.

"Anyone who trespasses into the Dragon Palace shall be executed!" The Dragon King threw a wooden plaque from his mouth. Because he was very close to Mo Xueyao, she could even see the words "Execute Immediately" on it.

"Ah! I've found it!"

"Whoa—!" Wang Jiale and Mo Zhuyou clung to her thighs like straws, completely unaware of the ropes hanging from the mechanism.

It was actually quite obvious, but no one noticed it in the dim lighting.

So the token seemed to fly, so it flew from the Dragon King's mouth to the other side and slammed into the wall.

Actually, it should be embedded; there must be a groove in that area.

After careful consideration, Mo Xueyao realized that the terrifying atmosphere could no longer frighten her.

The train continued forward, and a large guillotine fell from above, beheading with a scythe. The screams were louder for those sitting in the back, as the guillotine was almost touching their scalps.

Mo Xueyao took a quick look up and discovered that the metallic sheen seemed to be painted on, probably because it contained something like foam.

Just as the tail of the train escaped the guillotine, it crashed heavily to the ground as if it had almost succeeded.

The water mist spread out like splashing smoke, and also made a loud noise, which was quite fitting for the occasion.

However, Mo Xueyao was certain that the sound was coming from a speaker.

It has to be said that the sense of immersion is really good. Wang Jiale next to him was panting lightly, looking like he had just survived a disaster.

"Pfft, is it that scary?"

"Huh? Aren't you scared, Haruka?"

"...No."

"That was really scary just now!"

Girls seem to be more easily drawn into the atmosphere of a scene.

Mo Xueyao sat there solemnly, about to say a few words in an extremely rational manner, when the Dragon King actually caught up from behind.

It has wheels mounted on its feet.

Many of the girls sitting at the back of the car hugged each other.

Of course, some people laughed excitedly.

Judging from that voice, it sounds like Cha Li.

"Xiaoxue, its whiskers look like real fur!"

"It has a painted mustache on its face; those plastic hair strands are to make the design more realistic," Mr. Xue said calmly.

This was a rare moment when Mo Xueyao felt she had something in common with him.

The Dragon King pursued them closely, followed by shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Then came a very powerful shout of "Here comes Old Sun!", accompanied by electronic music with drum beats, and a statue of Sun Wukong, holding a golden cudgel, rushed out from a hidden door around the corner.

The statue only performs two movements: swinging the bat to the left and swinging it to the right, but the sound effects are extremely rich, producing more than a dozen different collision sounds.

The train had begun to leave them behind, and the sounds of the impact seemed to be fading into the distance.

It wasn't until the light at the cave entrance reappeared that people felt like they had survived a disaster.

This place is not the same as the entrance to the cave, but several teachers were already waiting here.

"Whoosh..." The staff opened the car doors one by one and let the students get off. When Wang Jiale got off, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

However, she didn't seem scared at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite excited: "How thrilling! That was so exciting!"

"Yes, it was indeed quite exciting." Mo Xueyao did not deny it.

"So, how was it inside?" Ye Wen asked with a smile.

"That looks fun! Wen, you should go in and play too!"

"Our teachers are going in last. You all line up and go out one by one. Don't block the way."

The students from Class 1 and Class 2 excitedly chatted about the exciting parts they had just seen inside, and then left the exit of the Dragon Palace.

This place is actually not far from the entrance, and you can see students from other classes queuing up.

After Class 1 and Class 2 came out, Class 3 and Class 4 followed closely behind.

"That was so much fun! It felt like we played for ages, like half an hour!" Mo Zhuyou ran off to her older sister again.

"No," Mo Xueyao replied. "Only fifteen minutes."

"Huh, it's so short?"

"It's probably because it's so amazing that it feels short."

"That makes sense."

"Little Yao Yao! I love the scene where the little white dragon comes out! It's so realistic!"

"Yeah, I like that part too. It's so realistic. I don't know what kind of technology they used, it's amazing."

As Qiu Yi led the students into the ground-level park, she turned around with a hint of pride and said, "This Dragon Palace Amusement Park was built with the intention of competing with Disney. It uses the most advanced technology and is very impressive."

"Really? It proves that we can build such amazing amusement parks too." Wang Jiale put her hands on her hips and nodded proudly, seemingly proud of it.

……

In fact, the Dragon Palace is just one of the attractions in this amusement park.

The ground section is the real main body.

It's a perfect blend of ethereal elegance and modern style, and it's done just right without feeling awkward.

Qiu Yi led everyone to a big tree and then let the students move around freely in the amusement park until they gathered back under the tree before 4:30 p.m.

This is the tree that Mo Xueyao saw before, a tree that is over ten meters tall.

Unfortunately, it is indeed fake.

However, it's quite realistic; even the texture of the bark feels just as rough as a real tree.

Besides being a tree, it also functions as a gashapon machine and a beverage machine.

Gao Yuan was the first to rush over, put in a coin and bought two bottles of drinks that cost twice as much as usual at the convenience store. He felt particularly curious as he watched the coin fall down with a 'plop plop'.

Surprisingly, the park didn't have any other large amusement facilities, only some small and medium-sized rides like a carousel, Ferris wheel, and bumper cars.

Compared to an amusement park, it looks more like a unique garden.

Honeysuckle blooms on the haystacks made of green grass. It is a maze-like space with several swings at the very back.

Only she and Li Wanyan entered; everyone else had gone off to play elsewhere.

Despite the large number of tourists, the depths of this maze are surprisingly tranquil.

It was as if she had found a secluded paradise in the midst of the bustling world, which made Mo Xueyao slow down.

She sat on one swing, while Li Wanyan sat on another one next to her.

She tiptoed and gently swayed on the swing, and the sky and the ground seemed to rise and fall with her.

"The bustling city in the wilderness, and the seclusion within that bustling city." Mo Xueyao swung higher and higher on the swing, making her squint her sky-blue eyes.

It's already afternoon. Mo Xueyao had already gotten a hamburger from the teacher for lunch, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to find a quiet place to rest instead of following the others.

Are you tired from playing today?

"Uh, a little bit." Mo Xueyao said, then suddenly stopped the swing with a strange expression, took off her shoes, and sniffed the little leather shoes in front of her. "Hmm... it's definitely not my shoes that smell bad."

Li Wanyan chuckled and said, "What are you doing?"

"Ahem! It's nothing, I just remembered that Cha Li said someone's shoes smelled bad yesterday... I might as well go back and spray some floral water on them."

"When fragrance and stench are mixed together, the smell becomes even more unpleasant."

"Really? It seems Wanyan tried it. Hmm—could it be that Wanyan's shoes smell bad?"

Li Wanyan raised her eyebrows, glared at her, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "If you're afraid of the smell, you can swing on the swing without shoes right now."

"Hmm? This way the wind can dissipate the stench?" Mo Xueyao thought it was a good idea, though she knew Li Wanyan was joking.

However, she still took off both shoes, stood on the swing, and swung even more vigorously.

"Wow, Yaoyao, Wanyan? What are you doing here!" The quiet little maze became lively again. Hua Yinyin ran in with a digital camera, turning back every now and then to take a picture.

Where did the camera come from?

"We borrowed these from A-Qiu. We've already taken a lot of pictures. Little Yao Yao, do you want to take a picture to remember this moment?"

"Of course!" Mo Xueyao immediately sat back on the swing and put her shoes on.

Although it was still in the same province, this place was already far enough away for her.

I don't know when I'll be able to come back next time.

Or perhaps they might never come back.

Taking a few photos will at least preserve the scene, so that you can look at it again when your memory fades in the future.

Hua Yinyin picked up her camera and snapped a picture without hesitation of the moment Mo Xueyao put on her shoes.
