From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

King Nathan countered with a question.

"I'm here for tourism and staying at a friend's house temporarily. What about you?"

"almost."

"Oh? We really are destined to meet. Would you like me to show you around Tianjin?"

"That's great! I was just wondering where to go for fun."

"..."

The two ate and chatted, finding themselves getting along very well and instantly becoming fast friends.

However, King Nathan still remained cautious—

Scammers exist even among ordinary people!

After the meal, the two went to pay the bill, but Jiang Liu touched his waist, his expression changed, and he said, "Oh no, I forgot my wallet."

King Nathan: "..."

After leaving the stall, Nathan stuffed his wallet into his pocket, squinted at Jiang Liu, and said, "You didn't always go there to freeload, did you?"

"We were chatting so happily just now, I thought we were friends." Jiang Liu was actually beating his chest and stamping his feet, his face full of sadness.

Seeing the stares of passersby, King Nathan, who was leaving Nathan Island for the first time, felt a little embarrassed. He pulled Jiang Liu to a secluded spot and said seriously, "Take me on a proper tour of Tianjin, as you promised."

"No problem!"

Jiang Liu gave an OK sign and then led Nathan Wang around Tianjin.

Tianjin has ten scenic spots: Tianta Tower with swirling clouds, Jibei Pass, Sanpan Evening Rain, Ancient Temple Morning Bell, Haimen Ancient Fortress, Gushui River with Flowing Clouds, Tracing Hometown, Twin Cities Under the Moon, Dragon Pool Floating Greenery, and Central Ring Road with Colorful Ribbons.

It was nighttime, and some attractions were closed. However, Jiang Liu did not lead Nathan to the remaining open attractions or places where they could sneak in. Instead, he took Nathan to some neighborhoods and parks that were not attractions but offered views of them.

Not only can you enjoy the full view of the scenic spot, but prices in these areas are also much cheaper than inside the scenic spot.

"How about it? Compared to crowding into those tourist attractions, aren't the viewpoints I chose pretty good?" During his time in Tianjin, Jiang Liu had visited all the scenic spots and historical sites, and was now qualified to be a tour guide.

"It's really good, but—"

Nathan nodded, listening to the smacking sounds of Jiang Liu chewing Doritos, then looked at his empty wallet and twitched his lips, "You didn't even try to save me money!"

Elijah had only five hundred dollars left of the cash he had exchanged for her, most of which she had spent on late-night snacks.

Most of it was eaten by the "guide" in front of her, while she, the tourist, only ate a little.

"Don't worry about the details."

Jiang Liu shrugged and said seriously, "Next time you come here, you won't waste your money. Those tourist attractions are just crowded with outsiders who take photos, check in, and learn some historical anecdotes that go in one ear and out the other... You can't experience the joy of travel that way."

Like me, I seek out delicious food in the streets and alleys, stroll around aimlessly, and observe the scenic spots from afar, finding a sense of peace in my heart.

That was when all was well.

It must be said that Jiang Liu has excellent eloquence, and after experiencing it firsthand, Nathan Wang also believed that this way of wandering through the streets and alleys and observing the scenic spots from afar was indeed a better way to appreciate the ten scenic spots of Tianjin.

Furthermore.

As a queen, she was used to Nathan's hierarchical system and didn't really like queuing with others to buy tickets, especially having to squeeze in with them.

"The outside world is indeed different from where I'm from."

Gazing at the brightly lit Central Ring Road under the night sky, with the lights of the vehicles driving on it adorning it, resembling a giant Chinese knot, King Nathan nodded in agreement and couldn't help but sigh.

"Different? Is your hometown in a mountainous area?"

Jiang Liu asked calmly, "Judging from your clothes, you are indeed quite simple, and with your skin that's almost dark... you must be a hardworking country woman! But to have the money to travel... your family must run a farmhouse inn, right? You must treat me to a good meal sometime!"

Nathan King: "???"

# Chapter 641 This was just a "joke" (Part 2)

Being told she was a peasant woman whose family ran a farm stay made Nathan a little uncomfortable. But upon reflection, although she didn't know the specifics of the farm stay, she realized that Nathan's material and spiritual enjoyment on Nathan Island was indeed inferior to that of an ordinary person in the area.

"My family does indeed run a farm stay."

Nathan said, half-jokingly, "If you ever have nowhere to go, you can come to my house. My house is quite big."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's lips twitched, but he didn't think that Nathan King had learned the new internet slang. He figured it was probably genuine, so he joked, "You wouldn't happen to want to keep me as a sugar daddy, would you?"

This time, it was King Nathan who was stunned, then laughed and said, "You can think of it that way if you want."

"Never mind then, I'm still a good young man of the new era, I wouldn't sell my body for money." Jiang Liu said lightly, but with a hidden meaning, "By the way, you're not joking, are you?"

"You really want to!"

King Nathan smiled.

As a cultivator, this was the first time she had chatted so happily with an ordinary person, and she also spoke her mind, saying, "However, speaking of jokes, I really did play a big joke on someone. I came out this time to relax."

"I can see you're troubled... Why don't you tell me?"

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he sighed and said, "I also have troubles. I lost something and want to find it, but the place is too far away, and I can't go there rashly for fear of offending people... Let's talk about your matter first."

Seeing Jiang Liu so melancholy, King Nasen also relaxed and started talking about his joke, saying, "In my hometown, everyone... I can't say all of them, but most of them respect me very much, and are even willing to give everything for me. I myself have a certain influence."

But when I came to this big city and discussed something with others, I realized that those truly important people didn't take me seriously at all.

The place where I was received was arranged to be a secluded villa in the suburbs, and the time was scheduled for the evening.

My prestigious status is nothing but a joke here, and even in the whole world.

So, I played a prank on them, having someone impersonate me and attend the meeting... Don't you think I was being a bit reckless?

"That's quite willful."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu did not offer any comfort. Instead, he nodded vigorously and said, "Perhaps there is indeed an unimaginable gap between a small village and a big city, but at least the important people sent someone to receive you, didn't they?"

But if you make a joke about it and have someone impersonate you, even if you later explain and apologize, your first impression on them will definitely be bad.

Are all the supernatural management organizations around the world truly of one mind and all on the side of ordinary people?

Bullshit!

As far as Jiang Liu knows, India, a country where the caste system has not yet been abolished, is definitely not one of them!

King Nathan's joke... whether it was intended to lure out the one who had lost his golden branch, or it was a petty tantrum stemming from his genuine belief that the powerful figures didn't take him, the king, seriously, had already severed any possibility of any major power speaking up for Nathan Island.

It can be said.

That was a terrible move.

Jokes are something—

It can only happen between very close friends.

“I already had a bad impression on them,” said Nathan.

"You haven't even met them in person, how can you be so sure?"

Jiang Liu countered, "Practice makes perfect, but it's too late now. You've already had someone impersonate you. The best way is to let the person impersonating you take full responsibility. Otherwise, if you step in, things might really become irreparable."

"Leaving that aside, what about you?" King Nathan felt that Jiang Liu's words made sense, but as a king, he still had to reveal his identity in the end.

otherwise--

Didn't she come to China for nothing?

If you really want to use a body double, you can just find someone to impersonate you from the beginning.

"Me? I lost something very important to me, and it took me a long time to find out where it was. It was on a small island. A friend of mine told me that the island doesn't exist on any map; it's a place hidden from the world, and ordinary people can't go there..."

At this point, King Nathan narrowed his eyes, observing Jiang Liu discreetly. Only after confirming that his breathing was indeed no different from that of an ordinary person and that he had not yet mastered Qi did he lower his guard.

"You have no idea, there really are people with superpowers in this world!"

Jiang Liu described it vividly.

“Indeed, that is me,” said King Nathan.

“Really? I don’t believe it,” Jiang Liu replied.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled. Nathan smiled faintly, while Jiang Liu smiled slyly, but both smiles were fleeting.

"It was a pleasure chatting with you, but it's getting late, so I have to go now, my friend."

After saying that, Jiang Liu turned and left, waving goodbye without looking back, extremely dashing, and said, "See you later!"

"Friends?"

Despite being a king, he had made a friend among ordinary people here, though he wouldn't see him again later. Nevertheless, King Nathan waved to Jiang Liu's back and said, "See you later."

Shortly after Jiang Liu left, Xiao Zizai secretly sent a message to Zhao Fangxu: "Jiang Liu didn't kill King Nasen. He just took her shopping and to see the night view. To a normal person, it looks like a couple on a date, but to me, it feels like a grandfather taking his granddaughter... King Nasen does have an Eastern face. Is he a descendant of people from our side who went to Nasen Island?"

"Bring King Nathan here, and treat him with respect." Zhao Fangxu didn't answer Xiao Zizai's question, but simply ordered, "Our 'King Nathan' has been assassinated... King Nathan will also receive the news and will cooperate with you."

as predicted.

The call had just ended when King Nathan received a call from Alfonso. After learning the situation, he turned to Xiao Zizai, who was hiding in the shadows, and said, "Come out, I've already spotted you."

As King Nathan, blessed by the sacred tree, he is able to sense the presence of all creatures on Nathan Island.

Although this ability would decline drastically after leaving the island, over the years it had cultivated a sense that was far more acute than that of ordinary superhumans. In particular, Xiao Zi's feeling towards this guy was almost identical to that of Besdia, one of the Nine Guards of Nathan.

"Your Majesty."

When Xiao Zizai realized he had been discovered, he stepped forward confidently, bowed and smiled politely, "Our Chairman Zhao hopes you can come back with me, at least to give everyone an explanation."

"Yes, I have received the news. I am extremely sorry that your companion was assassinated in my place. I will explain everything later." King Nathan had expected Feng Baobao's assassination attempt, so he remained calm.

"Please follow me, the vehicle is already prepared."

Xiao Zizai led the way.

Once inside the car, looking out the window at the bright lights and bustling city gradually receding into the distance, and the dark, desolate forest appearing before him, King Nathan felt as if he had returned to Nathan Island.

Quiet.

Loneliness.

The only difference was that there was no tense atmosphere in the darkness...
