Chapter 3
“Boss, we caught another piglet...”
“Great. Let’s give him an electric baton combo first...”
“Aaaahhh!”
Xia Mingyu suddenly jolted awake on the bed.
Still shaken, he looked around the wooden cabin he was currently in.
He had just had a terrifying nightmare.
“****”
At that moment, a gentle female voice sounded beside his ear.
Although it was still a language he could not understand, her voice was as soft as a clear mountain spring flowing through his heart, gradually calming Xia Mingyu down.
He turned toward the voice.
A blonde girl wearing a belted tunic was looking at him with concern.
Her clothes were nothing more than rough, light-brown linen. They were extremely plain, yet they could not hide her beautiful and graceful appearance.
Her face was as pure and flawless as a lily blooming in the early morning. Her nose was slightly raised, while her skin was smooth and pale like white porcelain.
Her brilliant golden hair flowed down like a waterfall. Every strand was soft and glossy, almost like carefully woven golden silk, warm and dazzling.
Beneath her long eyelashes was a pair of captivating deep-blue eyes.
They were clear yet profound, like two peaceful bays that seemed capable of drawing a person’s soul inside.
Even though she was wearing nothing but worn-out linen clothes, she still possessed an extraordinary beauty.
She did not lose out at all to those legendary beauties who became famous throughout an entire era.
As expected...
When it came to fashion, the final deciding factor was still the face!
Xia Mingyu sighed inwardly while quickly looking around.
A simple cabin made from logs.
A stunning beauty wearing linen clothes.
A completely unknown language that he could not understand...
When all of these things were put together, something was obviously very wrong!
The last thing he remembered was collapsing in front of the bow-wielding young man who had shot and killed the alpha wolf.
Could it be...
Had he somehow been taken onto an enormous reality show?
“****”
Seeing that he had calmed down, the girl brought over a bowl of water and carefully handed it to him.
“Thank you.”
Xia Mingyu was already terribly thirsty, so he did not think too much about it.
He accepted the wooden bowl and drank everything in one go.
The cool water moistened his dry lips and flowed down his throat.
It felt as though new strength immediately spread through his weakened body.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyu lifted the blanket.
Ignoring the blonde girl’s attempts to stop him, he stepped onto the floor barefoot and walked straight outside.
He had to see for himself exactly what kind of strange place he had ended up in!
The moment he left the wooden cabin, the first thing that entered his sight was a winding dirt path.
On both sides of the path stood houses built from logs and straw.
Thick layers of green moss covered their roofs, making it obvious that these houses had been standing there for a very long time.
Not far from the path was a wide open space.
An enormous old oak tree stood there, its branches covered with lush green leaves. Its trunk was so thick that it would probably take three or four people holding hands to completely surround it.
Several people wearing similar linen clothes were gathered along the path and beneath the shade of the old oak tree.
They stood in small groups, talking to one another.
Some carried farming tools that resembled hoes.
Some carried baskets filled with fruit on their backs.
Others were carrying wooden bathing tubs.
But there was something else.
Above every one of their heads...
There was a line of text.
“Th-This... This...”
Xia Mingyu stared blankly at the scene before him.
His eyes widened and his mouth hung slightly open.
The shock on his face could not be hidden.
At this moment, he could finally be certain.
This definitely was not some reality-show prank.
He was just an ordinary nobody.
There was no way anyone would spend such an enormous amount of money building a place like this and hiring so many actors just to fool him.
He had really arrived somewhere completely new.
A place with an unknown language.
A place that might not even exist on Blue Star.
“*****”
Before long, the people dressed in linen noticed him.
The moment they saw the words floating above Xia Mingyu’s head, every single one of them showed the same expression.
Shock.
Fear.
And disbelief.
