Chapter 4, Enchanting Shadows (Part 1)

At this moment, Chi Qing happened to arrive at the tea house. It had only been a little over an hour since they last met, yet she had changed into a new outfit. She wore a white crop top on her upper body and a green short skirt on her lower body, and the exposed, delicate skin evoked a primal urge in those who beheld her

Chi Qing said softly: "It is too stuffy here; why don't the three of us go to the hot springs..."

Meng Nan whispered, "Have you seen that little monk outside? He always follows me around begging for alms. I'm almost driven to distraction. Can you help me shake him off?"

Ximei looked at Meng Nan in surprise, as she did not know what place Meng Nan referred to as Kaifeng

Once the lane enters the urban area, it is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. Ximei drove the maglev car into the second-level lane, switching the automatic transmission back to manual driving. The speed noticeably decreased, and the current speed of the floating vehicle is one hundred kilometers. Through the spacious car windows, one can see that the sides of the road are lined with maple trees. Judging by the colors of the maple leaves, it should currently be autumn.

The tea, unlike what he was accustomed to, presented a rose-red hue and had a slightly sweet taste upon reaching his palate

Chi Qing and Xi Mei, one on the left and the other on the right, linked arms with Meng Nan as they exited the tea house

He secretly glanced at Chi Qing and Xi Mei, who had already wrapped themselves in long bath towels. The two women's slender legs were exposed beneath the towels, appearing even more alluring and seductive. It was unclear whether they were wearing underwear underneath.

The hot spring mentioned by Chi Qing is located less than 200 meters from the tea house. Perhaps due to the anticipation of facing two beautiful women candidly, Meng Nan's body temperature rose slightly, and his mind was filled with scenes from adult films he had previously watched.

Upon arriving at the "Lover's Wharf" mentioned by Chiqing, Meng Nan realized that it was actually a tea house. They arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time. Ximei chose a window-side seat, from which they could see the beautiful scenery of the distant "Tongtian River".

Blackwood Cliff? That seems to be the location of Shaolin Temple!" The delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Meng Nan could hardly believe his ears; the girls here were surprisingly open-minded, inviting each other to take a bath just after meeting. He glanced at the two beauties in front of him, each one possessing remarkable qualities. Was he dreaming? To encounter such unexpected fortune upon arriving here was astonishing. Since they were so proactive, what reason did he have to refuse

The bathroom is approximately over 40 square meters, with a floor covered in colorful pebbles, which feels very comfortable when walked on barefoot. In the center of the room is a lotus-shaped pool. Meng Nan tested the water temperature, which was just within the range that the human body can tolerate. He entered the pool with a bath towel.

The red-haired woman pointed at the condom in his hand and said in a soft voice, "How does it feel to use this brand of condom..." Meng Nan was captivated by her enchanting voice, feeling a stir in his heart; this woman was indeed very open, clearly trying to seduce him

Could you take me to Kaifeng

Meng Nan corrected, saying: "I am very good at speaking the truth"

Have you been there

Meng Nan looked curiously at the visual phone; both the image and sound quality were top-notch. It turned out that there was one in his car as well, but its quality was far inferior to this one. His greatest strength was his ability to adjust his emotions. In fact, coming to another world was not a bad thing at all; everything here was filled with a sense of mystery for him. Hadn't his uncle promised to take him back in five years? He could use this five-year period to properly cure his illness and, by the way, experience the exotic customs of this place. This was simply a tremendous opportunity.

The red-haired girl smiled charmingly: "Isn't that easy!" She threw a flirtatious glance at Meng Nan and gracefully walked outside. Another girl whispered to Meng Nan: "As long as my sister keeps that little monk occupied, you can sneak out with me through the back door!" Meng Nan nodded cheerfully, secretly thinking: "It seems I truly possess extraordinary charm, making these beautiful women willingly serve me."

The slender-browed girl smiled and replied, "Sister Chaqing! Where are you? Do you want me to come pick you up?"

The red-haired woman blocked the intelligent one's line of sight. As the intelligent one reached out to push her away, they accidentally touched her ample bosom. Seizing the opportunity, the red-haired woman grabbed the intelligent one and screamed loudly, "Assault!"

I have always lived at "Heimu Cliff"! The only place names that Mengnan knows are just a few like those in the *Atlas*.

The woman beside Meng Nan grabbed his hand and said, "Why aren't you leaving quickly!" At her reminder, Meng Nan finally came to his senses and quickly followed her to run towards the back door

My name is Meng Nan! Meng Nan smiled, and only then did she realize that her eyes faintly shimmered with a blue hue, possibly due to wearing colored contact lenses

Meng Nan forced a smile and was about to speak when the LCD screen on the console flickered, displaying the avatar of the red-haired woman who had just distracted the AI: "Hi! Thin Eyebrows!"

A long suspension bridge appeared before them, with a considerable span. According to the odometer, this bridge is at least 3,000 meters long. Below the bridge flows a magnificent river, its waters surging and clear.

Meng Nan secretly felt relieved that he had not completely undressed; otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing. He imitated the way the others did and wrapped a towel around his waist, then took the lead into the bathroom. This was not because Meng Nan was shy, but mainly because he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the towel would be lifted by his little brother, forming a tent.

Many places here are different from the original world of Mengnan, and it is estimated that it will take him a considerable amount of time to understand this entirely new environment

At that moment, he heard a sweet, delicate voice whispering in his ear: "Handsome! Could you do me a small favor?" Meng Nan turned around to see the two alluring ladies he had encountered in the supermarket smiling brightly beside him

Meng Nan cleared his throat awkwardly, wondering if his presence had affected the relationship between the sisters. He contemplated saying goodbye

The two individuals entered the water beside Meng Nan one after the other, their delicate skin occasionally brushing against Meng Nan's in a subtle manner

Ximei ordered two cups of tea and some desserts, which somewhat disappointed Mengnan. In his heart, he felt that this breakfast was not much better than the vegetarian meal at Shaolin Temple, and he would have preferred steamed buns and beef noodles for a more satisfying experience

He glanced at the distant intelligence, and the young monk appeared anxious, pacing back and forth at the door. A brilliant idea emerged in Meng Nan's mind, and she said to them: "Could you please help me with a small favor first?"

I did not bring any money today! And *the* *book*'' Meng Nan frankly admitted.

There is a small parking lot at the back door of the supermarket. Meng Nan followed the woman to the front of a red magnetic levitation car, and she used a remote control to open the car door. Just as Meng Nan and she had just settled into the car, they saw the intelligent system recklessly chase out from the back door.

The lukewarm water temperature pricked at every pore of his skin, while the sisters, Chi Qing, gracefully approached the edge of the pool. The slender figure of Chi Mei was slightly taller than Chi Qing, who appeared more voluptuous.

The woman with thin eyebrows nodded slightly as she parked the maglev vehicle next to a circular building ahead. Meng Nan hurriedly ran towards the bank with his credit card. Upon reaching the ATM, he inserted the card, but the electronic voice immediately announced: "This card cannot be used!" The credit card was ejected, and cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead: "It's over! Uncle really didn't lie to me; this place is completely different from my original world. No wonder my phone has had no signal, no wonder the 'Shaolin Temple' has moved from Kaifeng to Yundu, no wonder the cars here have no wheels..."

After Chi Qing and Xi Mei entered the room, they began to remove their outer garments. Meng Nan, naturally unwilling to lag behind, was down to just his underwear when he suddenly thought that bathing together might be a custom here. If that were the case, it would be better for him to hold back a little.

This is rose tea picked from Yunwu Mountain, a new type of tea developed by recombining the genes of rose and Longjing. Ximei's action of drinking tea is extremely elegant, while Mengnan shows little interest in her introduction, focusing primarily on the matter of satisfying his hunger.

Upon thinking of this, Meng Nan's mood immediately improved. However, a significant challenge lay before him: the credit card his mother had given him was of no use here, and no matter how much money his parents sent him, he would not be able to receive it. On second thought, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. If things really become untenable, he still has an uncle who is a monk at the Shaolin Temple. As the only descendant of the Meng family, his uncle would surely take care of his food and drink.

Meng Nan had consumed three servings of snacks before finally wiping his mouth in satisfaction and downing the rose tea in front of him in one go

The slender brow smiled and said: "You are very eloquent https://www.hetushucom.com." The compliment from Meng Nan made her beautiful eyes exceptionally bright

The slender brow shook her head: "Places like that, which are the abodes of Buddhism, generally do not welcome outsiders disturbing them." She smiled at Meng Nan: "They are even more averse to women stepping into their territory."

The slender brow pointed towards the east: "The Tongtian River flows ahead into the Quiet Sea, and the clouds possess the most beautiful beaches and sunshine in the entire world!"

The bare legs of Chi Qing lightly brushed against Meng Nan under the table, whether intentionally or not. Although separated by fabric, Meng Nan could still feel the delicate smoothness of her skin.

My name is Ximei! The lady gently introduced herself as Mengnan.

Xi Mei explained: "I saw that Meng Nan was hungry, so I ordered some food first."

Two beautiful women nodded

It's nothing, I am naturally a person who loves to smile

Meng Nan tried his best to calm himself down. Shaolin Temple was clearly in Kaifeng, so how did he suddenly end up in 'Yundu'? Moreover, what was this 'Yundu'? He had never even heard of it. Could it be that he was truly taken by his uncle to the so-called other world?

The young woman smiled charmingly at Meng Nanyan and said, "Hold on tight!" She quickly started the engine of the maglev vehicle, which shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Ximei noticed Mengnan's curiosity and gently asked, "Have you never been to Yundu before"

While driving, Ximei introduced to Mengnan: "This great river is called the Tongtian River, and it is one of the longest rivers in the world"

Delicate, slender fingers gently pressed a button on the control panel, and the magnetic levitation vehicle switched to autopilot. She tossed her long black hair slightly, then picked up a blue hairpin to tie her long hair into a ponytail at the back of her head: "This is 'Lanwu Town' on the outskirts of 'Yundu', you really don't know?"

As it was his first time bathing with a girl, and coupled with the fact that he had no money in his pocket, his gaze was mostly directed towards the ground, while matters of purchasing tickets and shopping were entirely handled by them.

"May I ask where this place is?" Meng Nan realized something from her expression and began to strive to understand his current location

Meng Nan nodded with a smile, as he has always been very good-tempered towards beautiful women

Meng Nan nodded happily. After eating vegetarian meals for an entire week, he had lost some weight around his waist. Since a beautiful woman had taken the initiative to invite him, he naturally accepted without hesitation

Are there any banks nearby

There are many fun places to visit in the cloud city; who would go to a temple for tourism?" Ximei shrugged her shoulders

Is travel not allowed either?" Meng Nan asked, somewhat puzzled

With a concerned expression, she asked, "Are you really okay?"

Chi Qing cast a cold glance at Xi Mei, who lowered her head in a somewhat awed manner, clearly afraid of this elder sister

Meng Nan followed them to a private room, which was divided into two sections: an inner and an outer room. The outer room was quite small, entirely constructed of wood, and furnished in a rather elegant manner. The overall style of the room was somewhat reminiscent of a Japanese tatami.

He returned to the car with great difficulty and sat down beside the slender figure.

"How about going for dim sum together?" said Ximei, taking the initiative to extend the invitation

He has heard of the Yangtze River and knows about the Yellow River, but he has truly never heard of this River of Heaven.

She flashed a highly seductive smile at Meng Nan and sat down opposite him: "It seems that both of you did not wait for me?"

He did not know why, but his heartbeat felt a sudden acceleration

How exaggerated! I never expected that she would resort to such a primitive method to deal with a young child, but Meng Nan soon realized that her approach, though rudimentary, was remarkably effective, as curious onlookers in the supermarket quickly gathered around them

Ximei seemed to notice Mengnan's discomfort: "Are you feeling unwell?" Mengnan shook her head

Xi Mei looked at Meng Nan, who occasionally revealed a strange smile, and couldn't help but ask: "Have you encountered something happy?"

The slender-browed lady smiled and said, "Rest assured, this time it is on me."

The slender and agile figure instantly vanished from Meng Nan's sight

Twenty minutes later, they entered the urban area of Yundu. The towering buildings lined up on both sides caught Meng Nan's attention, as these high-rises were mostly over seventy stories tall. Even today's Shanghai does not have such a large-scale cluster of buildings.

No need, let's meet at the "Lovers' Wharf" in an hour and have dim sum together

Meng Nan seized the opportunity to flatter, saying: "And the most beautiful girl in the world!"
