The attendant stilled, seemingly recalling that Yao Si was here for training. She smiled, abashed. “Hehehe, it’s the same. But Missus, if you wish to tour the area after your training, you can come find me. My service number is 233. I’ll be sure to provide you with a special discount.”
“Sure!”
The attendant prepared a stack of documents. But just as she was about to continue her introduction of the training, a buzzing sound came from beside her. She placed the documents down and pulled out a paper talisman, then made a strange hand gesture. A white gleam shot into the amulet. The next moment, the woman’s face fell.
“What? Car accident? What happened, there’s a customer here waiting to be transported!” the attendant said in frustration, frowning. “Fine fine, you can head over to a pharmacist first. I’ll try to find a solution.”
The attendant put away the amulet, then, with an apologetic face, she walked back over. “Missus, I’m extremely sorry, I just received a notification that the VIP transport meant just met with an accident. Will it be alright if I arrange for a public transportation for you instead?”
“No worries, it’s be fine.” Car accident was not something one could predict. Yao Si could understand that.
“Great, thank you for your understanding.” The attendant heaved a sigh of relief, thanking her repeatedly. “I will arrange for a transport right away.”
She pulled yet another purple talisman. After chanting a line, a stream of light flew out. In less than ten seconds, a celestial swan came flying from the thick layer of clouds ahead!
Excuse me! This… this is their transportation equipment?
Hehehe, the celestial race sure is interesting.
“Welcome!” the swan greeted monotonously, once it came to a stop.
Is it a swan or a parrot…
The swan stationed itself in front of her before lowering its wings intelligently.
Is it inviting me to sit on its back?
“Missus, please!”
It really wants me to sit on it!
Yao Si got awkwardly up onto the swan before settling in.
“Wishing you a pleasant journey!” Attendant 233 waved towards Yao Si, and with a flap of the swan’s wings, they rose up.
What surprised Yao Si was the the stability. Despite the repeated vigorous flapping, Yao Si could barely feel the wind. It was akin to sitting on an advanced flying machine. She couldn’t help glancing around at the surroundings—the majority of people at the port were also getting up on celestial swans.
It seemed like this was the normal transportation among the celestials! It was indeed refreshing, except for… the influx of advertisements!
“Celestials’ leading port welcomes you. We offer two different experiences – tourism and training! There is a total of 811 tourism locations, including…” Then specific descriptions followed.
Initially, Yao Si thought that the swan was possessed and could now communicate, but soon, she realized that it was simply repeating the same things over and over again. It’s much better than a parrot, it can actually recite texts!
Yao Si was subjected to its advertisements throughout the entire journey, until they arrived at a massive palace. It had the same vintage vibe. With its red walls and golden roofs, it appeared imposing and majestic. At the entrance was a gold tablet which read: Celestials’ Training Office.
Yao Si jumped off the swan’s back. Just as she was about to enter the office, the swan turned abruptly, stopping her with its beak. With a screech, it opened its beak wide.
What? Does it want to be adopted?
