Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 352 - Noble Backing

The Ren'duan opened its mouth to speak, but not before bursts of flames rushed out as if they waited their entire life to find freedom.

It was after this that its voice finally drifted out. “You are blacklisted. Leave or face extermination.”

****

Long Di’s group paled while Violet Flame Noble felt his knees go weak. Wei Yun raised her brow in interest at this development.

“Gatekeeper,” Violet Flame Noble stepped forward to do damage control. “I ask you to overlook this one matter. He is my… he is with me.”

He made sure to take care of the way he introduced Long Di since he wanted to use his prestige and trust with the Ren’duans to fix this matter.

“Look, it’s Violet Flame Noble!” The present experts were surprised to spot one of the Five Nobles here.

“So that brat had such an impressive backing?”

“The Five Nobles might have powerful sway anywhere else, but not even they can move the Ren’duans. The Gatekeeper won’t change his mind,” said someone else.

“No.”

Just like the expert versed in the matters of the Ren’duan said, the Gatekeeper refused without giving Violet Flame Noble much in the way of face. However, this was how the Ren’duans usually acted.

“Just give us what we need and I’ll help you,” a lovely voice drifted out and the crowd’s attention was drawn to Wei Yun.

“I-Ice Star Yun!?”

It shook the crowd to see two of the Five Nobles and it was even even more shocking they both stood up for Long Di.

“W-Who is this brat!?”

A grey-haired elder stared at Long Di with a pensive gaze, as if he wished to see through him.

Long Di’s own gaze immediately locked on to that old elder saying. “Mind you blind yourself.”

That elder trembled when he heard Long Di’s words. This particular elder was a somewhat famous existence and was known to be very adept at utilising his spiritual force.

He was about to use his heavenly gaze on Long Di to uncover his secrets, when the latter’s senses buzzed, alerting him to the old cultivator’s attempt.

Long Di was strong enough to stop the old man from looking if he wanted to, but he put up no such defence. Who was he to stop people from being suicidal? He would be hypocritical if he did that.

“I do what I want,” Long Di told her, causing Wei Yun’s eyes to narrow. “By the way,” he looked at the Gatekeeper. “Could she even do anything?”

“No.”

The Gatekeeper didn’t react much to Wei Yun’s words, to begin with. Conversely, his gaze never left Long Di the entire time. He wanted to make sure he didn’t get any closer to the forge.

“Chinkeeper, since I’m blacklisted, can you answer a few of my questions?”

“C-Chin… keeper?” The Gatekeeper’s expression finally broke when he heard Long Di’s appellation for him, and it was into one of confusion.

“Yeah. You’ve got a chaddish chin there, chaddical even. Dare I say, the chaddiest?”

“Flattery will get you nowhere?” The Gatekeeper wasn’t sure if Long Di was complimenting him or insulting him, so his tone was questioning at best.

Long Di didn’t let him think that for long though, commenting, “Just stating facts. That’s the kind of chin you can play Tetris with my guy. Who needs a block when they’ve got what you got? I mean, if I had a chin fetish and you were to slap me with that chin, I don’t see myself fighting back. Back to the main point, can you answer a few or one of my questions?”

ಠ_ಠ

The Gatekeeper found it hard to keep up with Long Di. The boy was randomness incarnate.

Immediately, a few people began shivering as the temperature fell a few degrees. A faint tinkling rang out as an ice carriage flew through the sky towards them.

Ice and snow fell in a trail behind it as it made its way over. Its elegant bearing couldn’t be concealed, and Wei Yun smiled when she saw it.

“Is tha–”

“No way.”

Some people had an idea of who this was but didn’t dare to believe it in the slightest.

Why would that existence come here?

It was for a weapon, right? It was to seek help from the Ren’duans, right?

Before long, the ice carriage rolled to a gentle stop in a clearing near the Ren’duan Dwelling. Even the Gatekeeper paused in what he was doing while Long Di resumed his surveillance on the forge as if what was going on over yonder had nothing to do with him.

The ice carriage door opened and people saw a blond-haired beauty step out wearing beautiful golden armour.

Who else it could be but Heavenly Sun Noble?

“It’s Heavenly Sun Noble!”

Hearing this, Long Di’s head snapped to the side to spot the one who spoke.

“Don’t I know you? Aren’t you the same guy?” he was surprised to see the same person who introduced the ‘bigshots’ last time.

Granted, the one in the Demon Region was different, as it was a demon, but this human was surely fulfilling his role with the best of them. Sure, Long Di met someone similar in the city before, but that was an expert of the younger generation. This person was a middle-aged man, just like the demon.

“I just feel compelled to do so,” that person admitted.

Long Di gave him a thumbs-up before commenting. “You really are the peanut gallery’s spokesperson, aren’t you? This might be my unpopular opinion, but… you’re the unsung hero of many cultivation novels.”

The peanut gallery's spokesperson’s cheeks reddened. “Thank you?”

Heavenly Sun Noble’s head swivelled like a gamer’s chair until she found who she was looking for. “Long Di?”

“Hey, Shai Bing.”

What are you doing in front of the forge!? Get away from there!”

“Him again!?”

The crowd was practically going crazy at this point!

Why was this guy being favoured by all the best of their generation!?

Who else backed him!? Heaven!?

“Too late, I already got blacklisted,” Long Di admitted.

Heavenly Sun Noble released a sigh of exasperation. How did he manage to get blacklisted so quickly!?

She had a thought that her time with Long Di wasn’t going to be as easy as she initially believed.

Heavenly Sun Noble cupped her fist at the Ren’duan before Long Di. “Gatekeeper, can you overlook this issue this one time, please?”

“No,” even though the Gatekeeper said this, he was now looking at Long Di with new eyes.

“Excuse me,” a cold voice drifted within the ice carriage.

Heavenly Sun Noble jumped and quickly left the doorway of the ice carriage. “S-Sorry Divine Daughter.”

As soon as she said this, Qin Ling showed up at the door allowing the crowd to see her. This time she wore a veil to hide her face much like how Shen Ling wore Blossoming Abyss.

“I-It’s the actual Divine Daughter of Ice Phoenix Hall!”

Her head did the same thing that Heavenly Sun Noble’s did.

“Nooo…” a whisper escaped from the crowd when they saw this. A bad feeling crawled the length of their spine.

Her gaze then landed and froze on Long Di.

“Nooo!” That bad feeling infinitely magnified.

“Long Di,” she called out coldly.

“Heya Qin Ling, still got that ice chip on your shoulder?”

Ah, so he knew the Divine Daughter then.

“YOU’VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!”

“Her too!?”
