Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 118: The whole city is drinking tea, and the flower girl mistakes reality for a dream
Twilight City.

The cobblestone road was filled with golden sunlight, and the street vendors' shouts rose one after another, with a cheerful tone he had never heard before.

The streets were bustling with people, and almost everyone had a bright smile on their face.

Xia Mingyu stopped on his horse and stared at the scene in front of him.

This cityscape looked much happier and more harmonious than the one he saw when he first came to Twilight City.

In fact, even on Blue Star, he had never seen the citizens of any city look so happy.

It always feels a bit weird!

"Master, what's wrong?"

Berg, who was riding a brown horse behind him, couldn't help but ask when he saw Xia Mingyu stop.

"Berg, do you think the citizens of Twilight City look a little too happy?" Xia Mingyu said.

"It does look a lot happier than when we first came here, but isn't that a good thing? It means Lady Rosa is governing better." Berg looked puzzled.

"That's true, but I always feel it's a bit weird." Xia Mingyu held his chin and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the citizens coming and going seemed to have a faint scent of tea on them.

This tea aroma is very familiar, it is the aroma of evening tea!

"So, the reason the citizens seem so happy is thanks to the evening tea?"

"But that kind of tea can only bring back memories. Even if it does make people happy, the scene of everyone being so happy is too exaggerated!"

"Besides, the price of one copper sol is still quite high for ordinary people. It's okay to try it for a while, but you can't drink it every day."

Xia Mingyu frowned tightly, he had a very bad premonition.

"Go ask someone."

Xia Mingyu dismounted and walked towards a stall on the roadside.

"Freshly baked wheat cakes, only one copper coin each, absolutely worth the money!"

Mike was holding up a golden wheat cake and shouting loudly, when he saw a handsome young man wearing a black top hat slowly walking towards him.

"Sir, it's been a while. Would you like to try some wheat cakes? It's free."

After recognizing the young man as the nobleman who came with Anna last time, Mike quickly took out the most tempting wheat cake from the pile of wheat cakes on the stall and presented it with both hands.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not here to buy wheat cakes this time. I want to ask you some information." Xia Mingyu said.

"Then you've found the right person, sir. I've been selling wheat cakes in Twilight City for over a decade, and I'm well aware of all the rumors and gossip here."

Mike's expression brightened, and he patted his chest confidently.

"I left Twilight City for about a week. Why did everyone I saw have a smile on their face when I came back?" Xia Mingyu asked the question in his mind.

"Your Excellency, you may not know that recently, Master Erkus of the Dusk Chamber of Commerce has been using various methods to promote Dusk Tea, so many citizens have bought bags of tea to try."

"And once you tasted it, it was incredible! It's said that anyone who drinks the tea will see the scene they most desire, and realize their dreams in the dream of tea fragrance. Therefore, it quickly became a city-wide favorite."

"Those people have smiles on their faces because, through drinking tea, they realize dreams that would otherwise never come true: becoming aristocrats, marrying the girl of their dreams, getting rich, and so on."

Mike sighed, as if he himself had an impossible dream.

"Wait, doesn't evening tea only allow people to see past memories? How can it cause hallucinations?"

Xia Mingyu was shocked as if struck by lightning and asked anxiously.

He had a bad feeling. If tea leaves that could make people have hallucinations were placed on Blue Star, wouldn't that be very close to drugs?

The only difference between it and a real drug is its unknown addictiveness.

"Ah, sir, I don't know about that, because I have never had evening tea either. Although I have thought about trying it many times, I prefer to be with my wife and make oatmeal cakes for her rather than having false dreams."

Mike waved his hand, indicating that he didn't know either.

"If you really want to know more about evening tea, you can ask Anna."

Seeing the anxious look on the young man's face, Mike thought for a moment and said, "You're not going to tell me that Anna is also having evening tea, are you?"

"More than that! She's been drinking several cups of evening tea a day lately, and she hasn't even sold flowers. If this continues, she'll be broke in no time!"

"Alas, she abandoned her real dream for the fantasy of tea. My Lord, you must give her a good scolding when you see her!"

Mike smiled bitterly, his brows revealing uneasiness, and he was obviously deeply worried about Anna's current situation.

Xia Mingyu was silent for a moment, then he jumped onto the back of the black horse in a flash.

Tapping.

Without bothering to explain to Berg, he rode his black horse at full speed towards Anna's house.

In front of a small house.

dong dong.

"Ana, are you there? I'm Starfire, and I'm here to visit you!"

Xia Mingyu knocked on the door and shouted.

"Black Flash!"

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Xia Mingyu mobilized his magic power and hit the wooden door hard with his fist wrapped in black flames.

boom!
The already dilapidated door shattered into pieces of wood under this huge force.

Xia Mingyu rushed into the house and looked around.

Soon he followed the strong smell of tea and found Anna's bedroom.

The girl was lying on her back on the messy bed in disheveled clothes. She looked dazed and her fair face was flushed unnaturally.

Her thin linen nightgown was wrinkled and rolled up to her abdomen, revealing her snow-white belly button. The collar tie had loosened, revealing a large area of ​​tempting plumpness.

On the bedside table, there was half a cup of hot tea, emitting a faint steam.

"See no evil."

Although he was extremely anxious, Xia Mingyu still took off his coat and put it on the girl's exposed body.

"Anna, wake up, it's me!"

Xia Mingyu reached out and gently patted the girl's soft cheek, trying to wake her up in this way.

"Master Starfire~"

Anna's eyes were hazy, her pink lips moved, and she let out a faint, mosquito-like moan.

"Are you going to let me sleep with you again?"

"Then please love me, hug me, and kiss me~"

She stretched out her pale arms, trying to hug the young man's neck, and then gave him a sweet kiss.

"Wake up!"

"Freeze, water."

Xia Mingyu pushed away the girl's embrace, and black magic power surged from his fingertips, quickly outlining two magic patterns and superimposing them.

A ball of ice-cold water splashed on the girl's face, and even her long chestnut hair was wet.

Stimulated by the cold, the girl shivered instinctively, her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and her originally blurred eyes gradually became clear.

"Are you finally awake, Anna?" Xia Mingyu asked worriedly.

Looking at the worried black-eyed young man in front of her, Anna finally realized that this was not a dream, but reality.

In other words, she had just been asking for it from Master Xinghuo like a wild cat in heat.
The girl's fair cheeks turned red almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a cherry-pink blush quickly rushed from her neck to the tips of her ears.

At this moment, she felt a sense of despair that she wished she had never been born in this world.
