Chapter 99: My First Experience Riding with Two People
Bai Mengran couldn't resist the cute girl's attack and burst out laughing.
She couldn't help but reach out and gently pat Jiao Jiao's temples, and compromised, "Alright, then you can come with me. After I finish this important business, I'll take you to [Fairyland] to play."
"A new general merchandise store is opening today, and I'm sure you'll find the things they sell interesting."
Speaking of those two stores, Bai Mengran said that the system is not yet open to the public because she hasn't arranged the staffing.
I plan to check how much money I have left after I finish my work, and then decide how many AI waiters to hire. It's not too late to open the store once we have enough staff.
However, she was also a little itchy, after all, she had never even seen what the new shop actually looked like!
"Wow! Great! Sister Bai, let's quickly call Uncle Kun to go to the yamen!"
He Yuejiao was really impatient. Seeing He Kun walking leisurely down the corridor with his servant, she wished she could set fire to his backside to make him run faster.
"I'm sorry I'm late and have kept Miss Bai and Second Miss waiting. The carriage is already waiting at the door. Would you two like to set off immediately?"
"Sister Bai, shall we go with Uncle Kun?"
He Yuejiao wasn't sure if Bai Mengran had come in the flying carriage today, so she asked.
"Um... Mr. Kun, may I ask how long it will take for your carriage to get there?"
Although Bai Mengran lost her carriage today, she gained an even more beloved new favorite. She plans to take Jiaojiao to experience a two-person mount as well, as the playful girl will definitely enjoy it.
He Kun stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "The yamen is located in the center of Taoyuan Town. It takes about half an hour to get there from the He residence."
"Uncle Kun, you should take the carriage to the yamen first. I'll bring Jiaojiao and meet you there in half an hour. Is that alright?"
Bai Mengran's mount could only carry one person at a time, so He Kun had to drive the carriage there by himself.
"Alright, alright, then this old servant will go ahead first. Miss Bai, please take your time."
He Kun assumed Bai Mengran had other things to do, and since he had arrived there first, it wouldn't hurt to wait for them a little longer.
Seeing that Uncle Kun had left the mansion first, He Yuejiao immediately came to Bai Mengran's side with her eyes sparkling, "Sister Bai, shall we still take that flying carriage from yesterday?"
She thought that the carriage had taken less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to get to Taoyuan Town yesterday, and if she went there now, she would have to wait there for a long time.
"Let's go! But today we won't be riding in a horse-drawn carriage; instead, I'll take you to ride some more interesting and novel things!"
After Bai Mengran finished speaking, she made a "shh" gesture to her, looking mysterious.
He Yuejiao excitedly got into character in a second. She also put a finger in front of her mouth to make a "shh" sign, tucked her head into her neck, and even made her voice extremely soft.
"Where is what Sister Bai mentioned? Please take me to see it..."
"Okay, Jiaojiao, take me to a secluded place, where only the two of us can see this thing."
This mount is too dazzling. Bai Mengran thinks it's better to keep it hidden, so that only she and her companions can see it.
He Yuejiao became even more excited upon hearing how mysterious it was. She told the maids not to follow her and took Bai Mengran's hand to a rockery in the backyard of the He residence.
"Sister Bai, is this a good spot? When I was little, I used to hide here all the time when we played hide-and-seek, and nobody could ever find me!"
She led Bai Mengran to what she considered the most secluded place, though she didn't yet understand what was going on.
"Okay, Jiaojiao, you should prepare yourself mentally. Don't be scared when I conjure something up."
Bai Mengran gave her a heads-up beforehand, and seeing that she nodded in agreement, she began to set up the mount.
First, click "Follow" to release the koi fish mount. At this point, only she can see the mount.
Next, Bai Mengran selected "Add Secondary Seat," and pulled He Yuejiao to stand in front of the mount. He Yuejiao's avatar immediately appeared in the add list, displaying the message: "Add her as secondary seat?"
Bai Mengran smiled sweetly at the unaware, bewildered woman and pressed [Confirm].
The next instant, the golden koi carp mount appeared before He Yuejiao's eyes without warning.
Jiaojiao stared in disbelief, her inner voice exploding with rage! ∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"Sister Bai...is this...is this some kind of magic? How can this goldfish be so big? And so dazzling..."
Ahhh! Sister Bai is definitely a fairy! Good heavens, she personally witnessed Sister Bai conjure up an extraordinary giant fish. It must be a treasure from the celestial realm, it looks so golden and ethereal!
"This is my new mount, named the Lucky Koi. I can invite Jiaojiao to ride it with me!"
Bai Mengran was not surprised by Jiao Jiao's reaction. After all, she had reacted similarly the first time she met her, but she was much calmer this time.
"Wow!! Is this a mount that only gods have? I've seen pictures of gods riding white cranes down to earth in picture books, but I never thought I'd actually see a real one today!"
Moreover, the mount in front of her was truly beautiful; the koi carp seemed to be waving its tail and shaking its head as if greeting her.
The lifelike appearance made He Yuejiao's heart flutter; it was much more vivid than the mounts in the picture book.
"Um... if that's how you want to understand it, then that's fine too..."
Bai Mengran thought about her question seriously. In fact, she couldn't explain the origin of the mount. When in doubt, she could only turn to the gods and borrow the name of the all-powerful immortal.
"Sister Bai, did you just say that only you and I can see this koi fish?"
When He Yuejiao realized that besides Sister Bai, she was the only one who could see this celestial mount, she was so excited that she almost danced with joy, her big eyes brimming with light.
"Yes, Jiaojiao, you're the first person besides me to see this mount, and also the first to ride it with me!"
Seeing that she was almost excited, Bai Mengran silently recited "Mount" in her mind, and with a flick of her koi head, she spat out more bubble steps. This time, however, there were more bubbles, which gathered together to form steps that the two of them could step on.
“Jiaojiao, step on this and sit behind me.”
Bai Mengran took the lead and rode up the steps, demonstrating it to Jiaojiao.
He Yuejiao nodded and quickly followed suit, stepping onto the steps made of bubbles. Although the steps felt soft and bouncy, they were also quite bouncy.
She carefully straddled the top, gripped the handle in front of her, and only after settling in did she begin to truly experience the sensations.
Just then, she saw the koi carp glow brightly, and when she looked up, she saw a translucent dome enclosing them inside.
"Wow, I got on too! Sister Bai's koi fish mount is amazing!"
"Haha, Jiaojiao, hold on tight, we're about to take off!"
Bai Mengran had already determined that her destination was the entrance of the Taoyuan Town government office, so she pressed the [Fly] button, and the koi fish flicked its tail and flew far away.
