Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 363 Are the consequences of disturbing a nap serious?
There is still no guest at the Fairy Sleep Inn today.

The potted plants hanging from the ceiling simulate the bright afternoon sunshine, which shines like gold on the old wooden floor. The platinum-colored beams of light reflect the plankton drifting aimlessly in the ancient ocean, giving the old hotel a lazy, peaceful and seemingly decadent temperament.

The bartender, Xie Liya, stood behind the counter, holding an exquisitely shaped glass wine glass in her hand. One eye was covered by her silver side bangs, while the other eye reflected the clear liquid in the glass. She was thinking about what name to give to her latest masterpiece so as not to disappoint its elegant mood.

A few rabbits were taking a nap on the clean and tidy table. Several potted plants and the vines hanging from the flower racks were drooping their branches and leaves, looking drowsy. An idle morning glory tree had placed a violin on its branch and was playing Master Billingswig's "Funeral Music" in great character. It was said that the music was composed specifically for the funerals of human aristocrats and later became the standard music for various compulsory funeral ceremonies of funeral services. The mournful, wailing, and intermittent violin sounds echoed in the afternoon sun, making people feel a little upset.

"enough."

After her inspiration was interrupted for the thirteenth time, Xie Liya finally couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed the rag on the counter and threw it at him, saying expressionlessly: "If you play such an ugly song again, I will throw you out."

The branches and leaves of the morning glory tree trembled together, and the mournful music stopped. Cialia snorted coldly and lowered her head to continue looking for inspiration for a name. A few seconds later, the sound of the violin was heard again, but this time it was playing Sir Weasley's "Sacred Music". As the name suggests, it is completely different from the previous "Funeral Music".

The only thing they have in common is that they are both very noisy - although if this evaluation was heard by the fanatical fans of the two masters, they would definitely protest loudly and try to discuss with you the difference between classicism and neoclassicism, but to Shelia at this moment, there was no other more appropriate adjective except noisy.

This guy is really stubborn.

The corners of her eyes twitched and she subconsciously clenched the wine glass in her hand. A groan of being overwhelmed was heard in the air, and even the liquid in the glass gurgled and bubbled.

"Business?" Xie Liya was a little skeptical, but soon she no longer had any doubts. It was not because she believed her younger sister's explanation, but mainly because she saw Saint Xia Liya and Ling Ge behind her also walked into the hotel.

She left the counter, casually threw away the rabbits sleeping on the table, then asked the two to sit down and asked curiously, "So, what's the business? By the way, would you like a glass of 'Aurora Beam'? It's my masterpiece that I just finished."

At that moment, Xie Liya didn't bother to argue with the morning glory tree that loved to play musical instruments. She looked up in the direction of the door, and was disappointed and surprised, or perhaps a little confused, because the person who was walking into the hotel with a proud look on her face was none other than her younger sister Xie Mi.

Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other reason for Shemi to come back here. Traveling fairies would not stop until they completed their pilgrimage. This was the nature of their race. Although Shemi had long been an exception, he couldn't be so special, right?

Didn’t she embark on the journey with Ling Ge, Xiao Xia and others and start her own pilgrimage?

Xie Liya had a very bad premonition in her heart, and she blurted out: "Xie Mi, you were driven back!?"

Could it be that the hotel is about to open again?

It has been a long time since they last showed their power, and it seems that these guys have forgotten their own majesty. It is necessary to make them recall the humiliating, painful and cruel memories... but it failed.

By the way, it was just named.

Before Miss Celia could show her power, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open. The wind chimes hanging on the door kept shaking, making a crisp ding-dong sound, which immediately injected new vitality into the dull atmosphere in the hall.

Why did you suddenly return to the hotel?
Could it be that--

Hmm? Are there any guests?

If it's true, it's terrible. This has never happened in the history of traveler fairies! Is my little sister going to be remembered in history because of this? Even the reputation of the Levi'reyère family will be lost? No, as the second daughter of the family, I will never allow this to happen. I must find a way to remedy it... In the face of an unprecedented crisis, the bartender remained amazingly calm and composed. In just one second, she systematically sorted out the situation, understood the current situation, considered the consequences, and conducted a round of silent thinking. Finally, she came up with a brilliant countermeasure: Otherwise, break off relations with Shaymi?
Xie Mi, who was walking on the steps with a proud attitude of "returning home in glory", almost fell down when he heard this. After holding on to the table next to him to stand firmly, he shouted to his second sister in frustration: "That's not the case! I came back for business! It's business!"

Xiao Xia and Ling Ge both came along, and it seemed like they really had something important to discuss.

"No need." Ling Ge politely refused. Saint Shallia turned her eyes to Shemi who was angry beside her and said, "Let Shemi speak. After all, it was her idea."

"Shamy's idea?"

Xie Liya was surprised. What ideas could her silly, stupid, and overly naive sister come up with? She didn't really believe it. "You look down on me again, second sister!" Xie Mi knew what she was thinking at a glance and said angrily, "Today, I am no longer the same person I used to be!"

"Well, it seems there is no difference."

"Second Sister!!!"

"Okay, okay, then tell me what kind of good idea it is."

Xie Liya had an expression that said, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

But Xie Mi didn't say anything. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Where's the eldest sister?"

"She's sleeping in her room." Xie Liya replied, "Don't forget, it's her nap time now. You don't want to... wake her up, do you? Have you considered the consequences of doing so?"

At the end of her speech, her tone was somewhat sinister, and Shemi shuddered. Some unbearable memories seemed to emerge in his mind, and his face became very ugly. As bystanders, Ling Ge and Saint Xia Liya looked at each other, not understanding what they were talking about. It sounded like disturbing the boss lady's nap was a terrible thing?

"No, never mind!" Xie Mi suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it will disturb Big Sister's nap, this matter must be made clear to her!"

"Oh?"

There was a glimmer of light in Xie Liya's eyes.

For the belief in your heart, you dare to face the terrible disaster, and you are willing to do this... Xie Mi, it seems that you have learned a lot in this long journey (less than a month). As your second sister, I have seen your growth and feel very gratified.

Xie Mi didn't understand why her second sister suddenly showed an expression of "you have grown up", she hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, second sister, if you don't hurry up, the eldest sister will wake up!"

Wouldn't that be better?

Linger found it difficult to understand her logic.

Miraculously, Xie Liya understood and nodded in agreement: "That's right. Let's go upstairs to find the eldest sister without delay. As for Xiao Xia and Ling Ge, why don't they wait here for a while?"

The two naturally had no objection, so they nodded in agreement. So before going upstairs, the bartender was very considerate (actually out of selfishness) and brought two glasses of "Aurora Beam" that she had just prepared to their table, and asked the potted orchestra in the corner to play a piece of "Lamentation" by Master Billingswig for the two guests who came from afar. If they didn't like it, they could change it to "Sacred Music" by Sir Weasley depending on the situation... After doing all this, she took Shaymi upstairs to wake up the boss lady who was taking a nap. The two figures, one big and one small, looked very tragic.

Amid the sad music, Lingge silently took a sip of the water in the cup. Hmm, it tasted a little sweet.

"You feel……"

He put down his glass and was about to ask something when the ceiling above him suddenly shook violently. The whole hotel seemed to be shaking, the wood creaked and groaned. Then there were clanging sounds across the old wooden floor, the rumble of furniture falling, a queen-like sneer, a cold and serious questioning, Shemy's begging for mercy, and Shelia's calm voice saying "It was all Shemy's idea". It seemed that the upstairs was quite chaotic.

The amazing thing is that the magic plants were not affected at all and continued to play the music calmly. Only a few Mr. Rabbits were hiding under the table and trembling.

Saint Xia Liya also took a sip of the sweet "Aurora Beam", then opened her clear and bright golden eyes and asked: "What did you want to say just now, Lingge?"

"nothing."

The young man silently looked away, ignoring the atrocity happening right under his nose.
