The registration process took a long time. Because there were so many people, Reina thought that there would be very few people, but in reality, there were far more people participating in the competition than she had imagined. So much so that she had to stand for three hours before she could write down her damn name.
It was as if they had been freed. After the group of people finished registering, they picked up their luggage and headed towards the old city district. Before the competition started the next day, they could move freely. In other words, the contestants had to take care of their own needs.
However, this wasn't something that the contestants needed to worry about. Someone had already taken care of it for them.
The three contestants from Tianshan Town each had a person in charge following them. The person in charge of taking care of Reina was a woman called Beth. She wasn't lucky. She had a long face, crooked teeth, and freckles all around her nose.
Words like pretty, cute, and other adjectives didn't apply to her. She wasn't tall, and was even more lovable than Reina. She never met Reina's eyes. She carried a square bag and dragged a wheeled suitcase behind Reina, chattering non-stop.
"It's eleven in the morning. We have to get to the hotel by two in the afternoon. Otherwise, the hotel might give our rooms to other people. We can't book a place to stay at this time. Oh, right, during the competition, remember, don't! Don't eat anything of unknown origin. Forget it, other than the food I give you, don't touch anything else. The same goes for the water. I've already prepared the water for you. That's the mountain water from Tianshan Town. There definitely won't be a problem … "
"I want to eat this!"
Reina said without hesitation as she came to a street stall and pointed at a string of fragrant meatballs.
"Okay!"
The owner agreed readily. This scared Beth so much that she let out a yelp and rushed forward. She squeezed out a smile and said to the owner, "No, we don't want it. I'm sorry."
Then she pushed Reina out of the shop.
"Miss Linglan, did you not listen to me just now? We can't eat outside food. It's not safe," she complained.
Even when she was lecturing, she didn't look at Reina. Instead, she glanced at Reina's face and then lowered her head.
"I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat."
"We'll eat as soon as we get back to the hotel. Miss Linglan, where are you going? Wait for me, it's not over there. "
Just as she was halfway through her sentence, Reina had already gone to another stall and shuttled back and forth between the two stalls at an extremely fast speed. Bess dragged her luggage and hurriedly chased after the last time.
Reina deliberately quickened her pace so that she wouldn't be able to keep up. To be honest, she didn't like being controlled like this, nor did she like listening to Beth's nagging. She would do whatever she wanted to do. That was her life's creed.
She heard the sound of gongs and drums. In the distance, there was a group of people dressed in strange clothes. They were performing as Jackie Chan. Reina was curious and chased in that direction.
There was no way Beth could keep up with Linnai, who had walked over ten thousand miles. Not to mention, she was carrying heavy luggage. Strangely enough, Linnai had clearly said that she would help her carry the luggage, but Beth had refused no matter what. She had even said that participants needed to conserve their energy. This was something Linnai couldn't understand.
Due to the competition, the streets were filled with people. In the blink of an eye, the conspicuous white-haired girl was nowhere to be found. Beth's eyes widened. She wanted to call out Ling Lan's name, but she seemed to be afraid of something. With a bitter expression, she desperately walked forward and called out Ling Lan's name in a normal voice.
As if the heavens were against her, the crowd rushed towards her. She lowered her head and forced herself to squeeze through the crowd.
"Hey! Watch where you're going! "
"Sorry, sorry, excuse me, Linglan! Linglan, where are you? "
At that moment, she bumped into someone. The person didn't move, but Beth was knocked to the ground. The luggage in front of her scattered all over the ground. There were maps, books, and a large pile of documents. It was a disaster. Before she could stand up, she was mumbling sorry and crawling up from the ground. She didn't dare to look at the person's face. She stared at the ground. Judging from the person's shadow, he was very tall.
"Hey! You bumped into me! "
"Sorry, sorry."
Beth apologized as she hurriedly picked up the things on the ground.
Ah, why am I so unlucky? What if I can't find Miss Linglan? I'll definitely lose my job. I'm so stupid.
However, the person standing in front of her still didn't leave. He suddenly squatted down and helped her pick up the things on the ground. Beth saw this and felt inexplicably touched. It was a wonderful feeling to be helped by a stranger in this unfamiliar city.
"Your things."
The person stacked the messy documents together and handed them to her. Beth nodded at him.
"Thank you."
She thought that the person was so kind and couldn't help but look up at him.
It was a handsome face. She believed that the handsome man that the girls in the village talked about was the face that she saw at this moment. He had a chiseled face and a pair of beautiful eyes.
However, the person's next expression made her feel as if she had fallen into hell.
He seemed to be shocked, and the things in his hands all fell to the ground. Then, he hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back.
"What an ugly woman! Haha! Wu Yan, is this your type? Hahaha! Your taste is really unique, hahaha. "
The man next to him suddenly laughed, mercilessly mocking Bess's appearance. Bess knew how she looked. She quickly lowered her head. She knew that she shouldn't have raised her head, and she shouldn't have worn such a beautiful dress.
But even so, Beth still felt terrible. She wanted to escape from this place and these people.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
She said in a low voice, then picked up the rest of the things and stuffed them into the bag. She was about to stand up, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground again. She was in a sorry state, and the other party didn't help her up, although she saw the other party's hand reach out halfway and then retract. This made her heart tremble and completely shattered her fantasy.
Although she knew that it was just her imagination, she still couldn't help but imagine a handsome prince on a white horse who could accept her appearance and fall in love with her. Or maybe she would become a beauty overnight.
The monkey-like man was still laughing, which attracted a lot of attention. Beth was most afraid of the eyes of the people around her. That was the thing she feared the most. She covered her ears with all her might, but the mocking laughter that tortured her still drilled into her ears.
However, at this moment, the crowd suddenly let out a "wow" sound, and the laughter stopped.
"Hey, what are you bastards doing? Especially you, what did you do to my follower? Bastard. "
It was Linglan's voice. Beth looked up and saw that she was grabbing the handsome man by the throat, pressing him to the ground and stepping on him.
