Chapter 465 - The Golden Wall of Glory

Chapter 465: The Golden Wall of Glory

It was more like a slave ship or an escape ship than a passenger ship.

The ten beds in the cabin were stacked with people.

There were only two or three people in each bed. Basically, there were four or five people.

What was more frightening was that on the way to each row of beds, there were many people who made chairs out of their skin.

Sitting there, the corridor was completely blocked.

The cabin was still like a steamer. It was hot and dry. The omnipresent flow of people was emitting heat, and the air was mixed with all kinds of messy odors.

“Are you kidding me? A week of travel and you’re actually sitting there?”

With an unbelievable thought, Lei Luo struggled to squeeze step by step out of his window. When he walked to his bed, he saw that there were already three people sitting on his bed. All of them were very young children, and they looked about four or five years old.

Lei Luo looked at the father of the children on the lower bunk and said awkwardly, “Uh, I’m sorry, this is my bed.”

“Uh… look…”

The father did not explain anything. He just pointed at the eight or nine children who were sitting on the bed with him and smiled apologetically.

“Okay.”

Lei Luo smiled helplessly and made some space for the children. Then, he leaned against the window and lay down.

Because of the difference in temperature between the port and the cabin, a layer of water vapor was piled up on the glass window.

Looking at the heavy black outside the window, Lei Luo began to feel a little tired. He blinked his eyes, wanting to lie down and sleep, but he was afraid of kicking the child.

In desperation, he could only turn around. But then, he suddenly received a magic beacon.

As he opened it, he saw only a short sentence in the magic beacon: “Where are you?”

Five days later, Lei Luo arrived at the Golden Wall of Glory.

According to the original plan, Lei Luo should have gone directly to Trump’s residence, buthe decided not to do so. Instead, he stayed in a hot spring hotel called “Autumn.”

The reason was very simple. A person named Ulysses had changed his schedule.

After getting off the spaceship and taking a comfortable bath in the hot spring, Lei Luo held a cup of fragrant tea and sat diagonally on the window.

He took a sip of green tea and a wisp of fragrance went from his throat to his feet. Lei Luo raised his head and sighed comfortably.

“This is really good tea.”

After sighing, Lei Luo leaned against the window frame and looked at the garden outside the window.

The small spring in the middle was covered with colorful pebbles and there were three to four goldfish in it.

There were a few peach trees and osmanthus trees planted beside the small spring.

The two trees were not very tall. They were only one meter tall, which made people feel obedient and comfortable.

The wind that came out of nowhere filled every corner of the air with the strong fragrance of the osmanthus trees.

Beside the small spring was a green lawn with some beautiful flowers that could not be named.

At first glance, it was just a patch of green grass and a small pool of spring water with some numbers and flowers in the middle.

However, if one looked carefully, one could see that this light layout was filled with the store owner’s intentions.

‘If I can live a lifetime alone in this kind of place, it wouldn’t be too bad.’

For some reason, this thought suddenly appeared in Lei Luo’s mind.

However, when this thought appeared in his mind, even he himself found it a bit funny.

If everything in the world could be done as one wished, then what trouble would there be in this world?

Just as Lei Luo was repeating this in his mind, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter outside the door.

“Brother Lei Luo, your life is very carefree.”

Without turning his head to look, just hearing this voice, Lei Luo knew who this person was.

“If a person is truly free and unfettered, every place is a fairyland on Earth. Because of a momentary obsession with the situation, people who can’t help themselves are just pretending to be free and unfettered.”

After Lei Luo finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the tea in his cup. Then, he slowly got down from the windowsill.

Seeing that Lei Luo’s movements were somewhat slow and his complexion was not very good, Ulysses asked him with concern, “Have you not fully recovered?”

Only then did Lei Luo turn around. He saw Ulysses who had just entered the room and also saw a woman beside Ulysses.

Although he knew that this was not polite, Lei Luo could not help but stare at the woman’s face for a moment.

When Lei Luo looked at her, she had just turned around from outside the door and seemed to be on guard.

When she turned around and saw that Lei Luo was looking at her, she smiled politely.

At this moment, the light source outside the window just happened to shine on her face.

The smile reflected by the light changed Lei Luo’s stunned look.

Lei Luo only saw that on her fair and delicate face, her gem-like eyes seemed to be beating.

Her lips were slightly thin, and her exquisite nose floated on it. Everything seemed to be natural.

If it was just her appearance, she could not be considered a top-notch beauty. She was roughly on par with Allie.

However, unlike Allie’s direct and frank beauty, the feeling she gave off from her eyes and expression always had a soul-stirring hint and temptation.

“This is my personal guard, Diana.”

Ulysses was a very meticulous person. Although Lei Luo’s stunned expression only lasted for a moment, it was completely noticed by Ulysses.

However, he did not mind and introduced it generously.

Lei Luo nodded slightly at Diana and said with a faint smile, “Oh, so that’s how it is.”

His daze just now was already too impolite. If he was still too enthusiastic now, Ulysses would probably be displeased.

Diana nodded with a smile again. “The two of you can talk here. I’ll keep watch outside.”

As Diana spoke, she walked out of the room.

After Diana walked out, Ulysses sat down and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry. Although we’re personal guards, we grew up together, so we don’t pay much attention to etiquette.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not from a noble family, so I don’t care too much about it. I think it’s good that she’s like this.”

As Lei Luo spoke, he sat down beside Ulysses.

“You must have been in a hurry. Have you eaten yet?”

“Yes.” Ulysses smiled and patted his stomach. “I don’t think so. I feel hungry now that you mention it.”

“All right. I just ordered some food. Let’s eat some together. To be honest, I just got off the ship, so my stomach is empty too.”

Because they did not want to be interrupted in the middle of the serious discussion, before the owner of the restaurant served the food, Lei Luo and Ulysses continued to chat.
