Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 1467 10: Awkward Wing-Flapping Under the Shade of the Tree
On the horizon's plain, countless construction machines come and go, various personnel shuttle about, from day to night, from winter to midsummer, from nothing to skyscrapers everywhere, and transportation networks crisscross, everything proceeds rapidly, everything changes swiftly.
It has been a year since the establishment of the 'Jade Dragon.' Now, the Dragon Vein system in the Ziqiu Star Domain has laid out several lines, spanning three continents, benefiting over a billion people, and bringing significant changes to the area. Many residents within the Federation have come to visit and tour to experience it in advance, which also brought immense economic benefits to the locale.
"What everyone sees now, those tall towers, are the Wind Stabilizing Towers in the Dragon Vein system. These towers can stabilize the Dragon Vein system and also act like water valves, allowing access to the system. They can be paired with various 'Taoyuan Secret Realms' or 'Plant Gardens' suitable for cultivating High Rank crops and so on," the tour guide introduced to the visitors and then led a group of people to continue on a small levitation sightseeing vehicle.
...
"This is a rest stop in the transit area. Do you see that large square ahead? It has a statue of the soaring Jade Dragon and a handwritten nomination by Miss Hexia. At the time, it was proposed to erect a statue for Miss Hexia, but she refused, expressing that these achievements were the result of collective collaboration," the guide said as he led the crowd toward the square, commencing a tour of its various facilities, and allowed everyone to experience the magical sensation of being washed by Dragon Vein Particles.
"Tonight's accommodations are in a large hot spring hotel located in the mountains, where the water, nurtured by the Dragon Vein, can wash away everyone's fatigue," the guide mentioned once more, almost as if everything here is associated with Dragon Veins.
Though some rational travelers knew it was merely a promotional tactic by businesses, they couldn't resist the urge to try it for themselves, since after all, they traversed multiple star domains to get here just to experience these things.
With the construction and expansion organized by 'Jade Dragon' gradually settling into a routine, Tilan finally found a rare short period for rest.
All the various changes happening in the Ziqiu Star Domain now were something she only fully understood regarding the construction of the Dragon Vein system. As for the later derivative tourism industry, she never paid attention to it, thus was unaware that her reputation had massively spread through the tourism sector.
After switching off the projection communication in front of her, Tilan walked to the sofa beside her, removed her shoes, and lightly stepped on the floor in her black long socks. She then sat down, resting her head on a linen pillow, and felt a sense of drowsiness that soon led her into a sleep state.
Since the establishment of the Jade Dragon, she had been extremely busy throughout the year. Initially advancing various projects, then arranging manpower, and dealing with the distribution of interests among different Factions within the Jade Dragon. Over time, even if there were no physical issues, it was inevitable to feel some mental fatigue.
Not long after she fell asleep, the door gently opened, and Ores, with curiosity, walked in, accompanied by a fluffy giant spider at her feet. At the moment, it too curiously poked its head before quickly running up to the ceiling.
Dressed in a low-cut Dailan long dress, Ores carefully tiptoed closer, then bent down, her eyes with a fresh luster as she looked at the sleeping Tilan, albeit holding back the urge to reach out and touch her.
Half an hour later, after a nap, Tilan felt much better in her mental Status and found Ores leaning on the sofa beside her with a pillow, also sleeping soundly.
When did she come in? A thought flashed in Tilan's mind. After all, even though she fell asleep, not just anyone could easily approach her. Perhaps it was only Ores, due to their long companionship, that aroused no reaction.
Seeing Ores like this, Tilan had an inkling to laugh. She guessed Ores probably came looking to play but was too shy to wake her, so she sat beside the sofa to wait, and as she waited, she fell asleep herself.
Resting her hands on Ores' shoulders, Tilan gently shook her to wake Ores up.
Awakening with a look of glee, Ores happily exclaimed, "Tilan~"
"Alright, don't sleep here anymore. Let's go out for a walk."
"Hmm."
Leaving the room, the pair walked through the corridor of the mansion, encountering several Blood Clan maids along the way. They were dressed in uniforms accented with blood roses, exuding a sense of classical elegance and flair.
"Miss Hexia, good afternoon."
"Same to you, Sha Lian, Lu Ya." Tilan remembered the names of these maids, after all, they had been together for a long time.
Exiting the mansion, the two strolled through the yard, with Ores recounting what she had recently learned and some little things in daily life to Tilan.
"Yesterday, the big spider and I went fishing by the river. I used fragrant bait for fishing, and it found a little cotton ball from somewhere, using its own web to fish with it as a rod..." Ores gestured with her hands, and soon the two gradually walked outside.
"At first, I caught a few white fish of unknown name, later the maids told me they were quite valuable."
"Then the big spider got anxious. I watched it pull the little cotton ball out of the water, apply a bit of saliva, and put it back in. Soon, it was pulling up several big fish, one of which was so big I could barely lift it." Unable to lift it was surely impossible; perhaps Ores simply didn't want to dirty her dress by exerting too much effort, Tilan thought.
