Chapter 332 An Unsettled Grocery Shopping Trip
This wasn't just a random guess by Tang Zijun.
Tang Zijun had already begun to suspect this when Grilando was able to recognize the hyacinth.
How likely is it that two completely different dimensions could have creatures with the same abilities and appearances? Moreover, the dream world and the real world don't seem to be parallel worlds. In addition, the two sides experienced a great war during the mythological period. Tang Zijun reasonably suspects that the two dimensions had communicated for a period of time.
It might be some kind of dimensional passage, or it might be a connection at the level of the Dream Realm. Tang Zijun is not quite sure yet, but a great war that threatens the lives of the gods would definitely have a huge impact on both sides, and this impact would not be limited to the material.
But these are not things Tang Zijun needs to consider right now. His most important task is to carefully select the ingredients for today's lunch.
What's it like to go grocery shopping with a charming older woman?
Tang Zijun said he has gotten used to it over the past six months.
For most guys, going out with a pretty girl is a lot of pressure. There's no way around it; good-looking people always exude a strong aura when they're out in public.
Fortunately, Tang Zijun himself was not bad-looking, and after Tang Cao came over, he often accompanied his sister shopping. Gradually, he stopped caring so much about other people's opinions.
Strolling through the market, the two were greeted by a dazzling array of vegetables. Tang Zijun's nose twitched slightly, and she led Tan Zhixin toward the direction where the pesticide smell was fainter.
In today's society, where everything is kept simple, it's impossible and unrealistic to find vegetables that haven't been sprayed with any pesticides. So, Tang Zijun is usually the best among the worst.
Tan Zhi followed gracefully behind Tang Zijun, filled with curiosity about everything in front of her. For her, shopping for groceries was something she had never dared to dream of before.
Since losing her ability to transform, Tan Zhixin has never left the flower shop, because without the ability to protect herself, she is a sitting duck for heretics and those driven by greed.
The negative energy contributed by magical girls is far greater than that of ordinary humans. She is well aware of the immense harm that an existence like her would cause if it fell into the hands of evil creatures.
Because of this, she imprisoned herself during her teenage years, and the only person who stayed with her was Xiao Qing, the snake.
And now, she has finally stepped out of her own "Leifeng Pagoda".
"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Tang Zijun picked up a tomato and turned to ask softly.
"Anything is fine," Tan Zhixin said with a smile. "I'm not a picky eater, but I prefer milder flavors. I eat more vegetables and fish. I like the natural freshness of food, you know?"
"I understand," Tang Zijun replied, then looked at Tan Zhixin with interest. "But as a wood-elemental magical girl, you should be able to communicate with plants, right? Isn't your vegetarianism a bit...?"
"It's not communication, it's just my one-way control. Ordinary plants can't even reach the level of the Tree of Life. Do you think I can listen to a comedy routine just by putting two potatoes in front of me?" Tan Zhixin rolled her eyes.
Tang Zijun chuckled but didn't reply. Instead, she took a bunch of lettuce and celery and weighed them.
Just then, a cry of surprise came from not far away.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Tang Zijun turned her body slightly.
"Brother Tang, it really is you!"
In the blink of an eye, I saw Su Siyao, that little girl, running over.
"I thought I'd mistaken you for someone else. When did you get back? Have Tangtang and Sister Nan returned yet?"
"We just arrived too. Didn't Tang Cao tell you?" Tang Zijun didn't expect to run into Su Siyao here either, and raised her hand to greet her.
"Tangtang hasn't spoken to me for days." Su Siyao pouted, then leaned close to Tang Zijun's ear and whispered, "She said the network used by the bureau isn't accessible outside, is that true?"
"It's true, we've been quite busy these past few days." Tang Zijun nodded. Without enabling special mode, the bureau's mobile phone cannot connect to the external network, so naturally, it cannot use QQ or Green Bubble.
Only after receiving Tang Zijun's approval did Su Siyao nod slightly.
Then she turned her gaze to Tan Zhixin, who was standing alone and beautiful behind Tang Zijun. Looking at the pretty older sister who had obviously come with Tang Zijun and was quiet and did not interrupt, Su Siyao asked with some curiosity.
"Brother Tang, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Tan Zhixin, an advisor to the bureau." Tang Zijun didn't reveal Tan Zhixin's magical girl identity, then turned around and said, "This girl is Tang Cao's classmate, Su Siyao."
"Hello, Sister Tan." Su Siyao waved enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Tan Zhixin smiled and nodded. "Hello."
The two sides had actually met once before, when the Tree Crown Royal City fell, but judging from their appearances, neither of them probably remembered.
After a pause, Tang Zijun suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what are you doing here? Is the college entrance exam over?"
"It's over, a complete failure..." Su Siyao stuck out her tongue and sighed. "As expected, it's too difficult to prepare for the college entrance exam with only half a year in the first year of high school."
"First year of high school?" Tan Zhixin looked at Su Siyao with some surprise, then moved her gaze from her face down to her chest—it didn't look like her at all.
Tang Zijun didn't think much of it. He assumed Tan Zhixin was surprised that she was starting the college entrance exam so early, so he explained, "Yaoyao and Tang Cao are both top students. They had already finished high school material before they even entered high school. However, the difficulty of the college entrance exam varies every year, so..."
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do, this year's history and physics exams were just too difficult." Su Siyao shrugged, but quickly cheered herself up again. "But I believe I'll succeed next year!"
"Next year will probably be even more difficult."
"How so?" Su Siyao asked, looking up.
Tang Zijun smiled and said, "The magical girl has been revealed, and the gods have been confirmed to be real historical beings. The exams from now on will probably change a lot."
Upon hearing this, Su Siyao's expression instantly froze.
Seeing her like this, Tang Zijun couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, just kidding. The textbooks shouldn't change much in the short term, and with your intelligence, I believe you'll definitely get into your target university next year."
"Actually, I'm fine." Su Siyao waved her hand. "Anyway, Tangtang didn't take the college entrance exam this year. If I had actually passed, it would have been a bit difficult. I don't want to be separated from Tangtang."
"Well..." Tang Zijun's smile froze a little when she said this. "Actually..."
"What's wrong?" Su Siyao looked at Tang Zijun's changing expression and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Actually... Tang Cao has already been recommended for admission." Tang Zijun's lips twitched, and she said dryly.
What?!??
The once noisy market fell silent for a few seconds because of a girl's scream.
Su Siyao's face was filled with disbelief. Then, a feeling of betrayal welled up in her heart, her nose tingled, and two streams of hot tears flowed like a surging spring.
"Ahem, didn't she tell you?"
"No!" Su Siyao headbutted Tang Zijun in the chest.
Tang Zijun scratched her head awkwardly and turned to look at Tan Zhixin helplessly, but the other only covered her mouth and chuckled in exasperation.
After feeling upset for a while, Su Siyao slowly raised her head and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Tang, where did Tangtang get admitted?"
"Yanbei," Tang Zijun answered truthfully. Seeing Su Siyao's eyes go black, he quickly continued, "But don't worry, Tang Cao can't leave Xuecheng for a while."
Don't forget, this is her jurisdiction!
"Oh, right!" Su Siyao blinked, suddenly realizing, but then she asked doubtfully, "Wait, she can go to university now, but she can't leave Snow City, so what's the difference between being recommended and not being recommended?"
"No, not exactly." Tang Zijun said in a low voice. "Actually, this can be considered a back door opened for Tang Cao by the higher-ups. After all, as you know, her elemental resources are quite rare, and the higher-ups don't want her to waste her talent."
"Oh, I see." Su Siyao suddenly realized. "The above is just an excuse for Tangtang not to go to school. On the surface, she's been recommended for admission."
Actually, it was to let her focus on improving her magic power.
"That's it." Tang Zijun spread her hands. "So, you don't need to worry about separating from Tang Cao, at least not for the next year."
the other side.
As soon as she got home, Tang Cao adopted the attitude of the young master of the house.
Katie blinked as she looked at the pink slippers Tangcao had specially brought out. "What are these?"
"Slippers? They're specially for wearing at home. They're so comfortable," Tangcao replied with a grin.
"Is this what you wear at home...?"
Katie seemed to be deep in thought. Then, her boots turned into a faint golden light and disappeared, revealing her bare feet. She tentatively put her feet into the slippers and then savored the somewhat strange feeling.
"How are you feeling?" Tang Cao asked.
"Very soft..." Katie thought for a moment and replied.
"That's right, soft clothes are more comfortable to wear." Tangcao smiled, then pulled Katie into the living room.
Every time Katie entered a house, she would curiously look around at her surroundings, as everything in the house was completely unfamiliar to her.
Tangcao quickly closed the balcony window, then gently grasped the pendant on her chest. The next moment, with a faint white glow, the temperature in the entire room dropped instantly.
After doing all that, she finally lay sprawled out on the sofa.
"Cool.."
However, unlike Tang Cao and Katie, Qin Nan seemed to be preoccupied at this moment.
Seeing that the usually talkative Sister Nan had suddenly fallen silent, Tang Cao rested for a while before turning to ask, "Sister Nan, what are you thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing." Qin Nan replied casually.
"You seem distracted." Tang Cao sat up.
Little Grey flapped its wings and landed on the clothes rack.
"She's thinking about your brother and... ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a slipper slapped him down.
