Parallel World Episode 19 Recap
> Parallel World Recap
Chang Dong woke up to find the car keys placed inside a water bag, which belonged to the frail man. Quickly, they sought out Li Jin'ao, who immediately recognized that the water bag contained the Siamese Twins. Just then, Fei Tang entered the room, and with two Fei Tangs present, everyone's attention turned involuntarily to the silent and reserved one.
Indeed, the imposter Fei Tang was completely exposed, transforming into the frail man from Scorpion Eye. Li Jin'ao acted promptly to subdue him. Ye Liuxi handed the water bag containing the Siamese Twins to Fei Tang, and Li Jin'ao reminded them that raising the twins would require some time and occasional feeding with fruits. Once raised, the twins could be used to their advantage.
Considering that the Red Flower Tree Inn was no longer safe, everyone prepared to pack up and leave, but they were ambushed by poisonous smoke in the car. Unaffected, Ye Liuxi effortlessly subdued the attackers with three or four moves. The leader recognized Ye Liuxi as Qingzhi, so Ye Liuxi took advantage of the situation, ordering him, as Qingzhi, to prepare five customs documents.
With an estimated two days' journey remaining to Blackstone City, they spent almost the entire day on the road. By late afternoon, they arrived at a new location, gradually approaching a large lake that appeared dark blue in the twilight. At the ferry crossing, food was placed on an altar, and a signboard above read "Welcome Gate." Surprisingly, a scene of a dragon drawing water appeared on the distant lake.
To ensure everyone's safety, Ye Liuxi and Chang Dong planned to take a detour, but they ended up returning to the original location. Unable to proceed, they had to stop and rest. Ye Liuxi sat by the lake, chatting with Chang Dong. She mentioned that the leader of Scorpion Eye, Jiang Zhan, had the same tattoo as her. Chang Dong reassured Ye Liuxi not to worry, as tattoos don't necessarily signify anything. Many families or factions might have similar tattoos, and it only indicated that Qingzhi's identity was not simple.
While Ye Liuxi and Chang Dong were teasing each other, they suddenly saw a gatehouse emerging from the lake, slowly approaching them. Chang Dong called for everyone to get in the car, accelerated, and entered a village named Welcome Village. On the street, a small number of tourists were seated. The two masked women approached and demanded Ye Liuxi and others to show their customs documents, escorting them to an underwater interrogation room.
Ye Liuxi and the others followed the instructions, and Ye Liuxi removed her mask. The person behind the scenes sighed when they saw Ye Liuxi's true appearance, like seeing an acquaintance. The water women asked Chang Dong where they lived in the market and the name of the Yulin guard chief. Chang Dong had no idea, unable to provide an answer. The water women concluded that these people had forged the customs documents and ordered them to be given the water ordeal.
Just as the order was given, the lake water seemed to come to life, forming a water column and pulling Fei Tang away. Ye Liuxi swung her knife at the water woman, who transformed into a puddle of water. The person behind the scenes ordered them to be released, and Fei Tang narrowly escaped. He angrily questioned why he always suffered in such situations.
The remaining two water women took the exploration team to check into the inn, preparing a table of food. Everyone's tense nerves instantly relaxed. Fei Tang noticed that every time they encountered a crisis, Ye Liuxi's anger seemed to resolve it effortlessly, as if her emotions could influence the outcome. Ye Liuxi remained silent, and Chang Dong seemed thoughtful.
Although some unpleasant events occurred last night, after a night's rest, the hospitality in Welcome Village was well-arranged. Fei Tang was thinking about ways to make money but couldn't find a starting point. Ye Liuxi considered that if Welcome Gate was so powerful, it indicated that Blackstone City's influence should not be underestimated.
As the car approached the water curtain wall, everyone clearly felt submerged in water. The view included fish and grass, but the car remained dry. Soon, the car emerged from the lake, and not far away stood a sign indicating that Blackstone City was 400 kilometers away. Passing through a barren land, Chang Dong left a marker on a dead tree, guiding Li Jin'ao to meet with them.
