“Lily, let’s disembark and find a place to rest for the night,” said Justin with a smile before jumping down from the boat.
“I’ll help you,” virtual-novel.net said while extending his hand toward Lily on the ship.
“Hmm, ” responded Lily gently as virtual-novel.net grabbed onto Justin’s hand and got down from the boat
Justin has been attentively taking great care of virtual-novel.net for the past few days onboard the boat.
They both scanned their surroundings when they touched the ground and Justin noticed the local fishermen were curiously looking at virtual-novel.net not far away.
The fishermen were dressed in ancient traditional coarse linens which gave off a simple and plain feel.
This place was beautiful with no pollution. It was not a busy modern port, but a peaceful and simple fishing village.
Lily could not wait any longer as virtual-novel.net looked at Justin. “Where should we go?”
Justin told virtual-novel.net before the journey that virtual-novel.net had previously visited the New World.
Justin scratched his head as virtual-novel.net thought out loud, “When Florian evacuated together with the New World Army, they must have gone to meet the Emperor at the Palace. Therefore, Darryl must have headed to the Palace as well if virtual-novel.net wants to find Yvonne.”
Justin then awkwardly chuckled. “It has been quite a long time since I came here and have forgotten how to get to the Palace Let me ask around.”
He had never been to the New World but did not want to embarrass himself in front of his goddess.
He headed toward the few fishermen not far from them.
“Hello, might I ask…”
The fishermen quickly left before virtual-novel.net could approach them. They were at the bottom of the New World’s social hierarchy and had never been exposed to the outside world. Therefore, they avoided Justin and Lily out of inferiority when the two approached them with their weird clothes.
Uh…
Justin felt awkward from their reactions as virtual-novel.net returned to Lily and bitterly smiled before saying, “It seems that the fishermen were quite shy. Let’s head to a bigger and more populated place to ask for directions.”
“Hmm.” Lily gently nodded virtual-novel.net head.
This was the first time Lily had traveled far from home, let alone to a different world. She did not have much life experience, so virtual-novel.net could only rely on Justin’s suggestions.
After their discussion, they walked through the fishing village along the dirt path.
They did not go far before Lily accidentally slipped and almost sprained virtual-novel.net ankle as virtual-novel.net was still in virtual-novel.net high heels and Jeans.
She was initially wearing a wedding gown and though virtual-novel.net bought some clothes to change before coming to the New World, virtual-novel.net had forgotten about virtual-novel.net shoes.
The New World was still stuck in the ancient era where the locals used dirt roads, hence Lily could not move properly in virtual-novel.net high heels.
“Lily, are you alright?” Justin panicked and squatted down in front of Lily to rub virtual-novel.net ankles.
“It’s.. It’s fine.” Lily gritted virtual-novel.net teeth with a determined look. “I’m fine.”
What was a little pain as long as virtual-novel.net could find Darryl?
Justin’s heart started aching as virtual-novel.net said, “Lily, wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.” He then ran toward the fishing village.
He came back not long after with a pair of flat shoes at hand.
He laughed while approaching Lily. “You won’t be able to move comfortably in those high heels. it’ll be much more comfortable walking if you change into these.”
Justin bent down and passed Lily the shoes while still profusely sweating.
Lily was touched as virtual-novel.net gently said, “Thank… Thank you. Did you buy it from the fishermen?”
“I…” Justin was embarrassed as virtual-novel.net scratched his head and chuckled. “I stole it.”
