Chapter 48
As soon as they exited the station, the outside instantly opened up.
Most high-speed rail stations are chosen in rather remote locations, so most citizens who are accustomed to tall buildings were startled for a few seconds upon seeing the barren mountains.
Right after that.
A sense of superiority naturally arose: "Their place is not that great either, even the roads are so bumpy, bumpier than ours."
"Yeah, it looks so desolate, not every place is prosperous there."
"Wait! Look, isn't that a giant python?"
Following the exclamation of the ancients, what looked like a giant python suddenly arrived in front of the platform in the blink of an eye.
As the giant python gradually came to a halt.
The doors opened, and the queuing crowd surged in.
The ancients were dumbfounded, and the ministers who dared not speak showed a look of realization - so this was the high-speed rail that Noble Consort had spoken of?
Finding seats;
Storing luggage.
Taking their seats, in one smooth motion.
Gu Sang leaned against the window seat. A few minutes later, the high-speed rail began to set off.
The scenery outside flashed by at high speed, and soon they saw green mountains and waters.
Almost a new scene every two or three seconds.
What astonished them even more was -
At such high speeds, they saw people inside the high-speed rail still sleeping, eating as if they felt no shaking at all!
They stared in disbelief with wide eyes.
If not for the constantly changing scenery outside the window, they would even doubt if the high-speed rail had moved at all.
"Oh my! So this is the high-speed rail? Not only is it countless times faster than a horse, but it's also so stable, even water placed on a table by an immortal wouldn't ripple!"
"There are so many tall buildings outside, so tall, at least a few hundred zhang high! How were they built?"
"Look, more and more people are getting on, can the high-speed rail really accommodate so many people?"
"I finally understand why the high-speed rail runs outside the wilderness, at such high speeds, wouldn't it crash into houses if it ran in the city?"
Exclamations of astonishment from the ancients rang in their ears.
Gu Sang glanced casually, then closed her eyes to rest.
She sat in the window seat.
In the middle seat sat a man with rather lecherous features.
In the aisle was a young woman wearing a tube dress, sunglasses, and big curly hair with a butterfly tattoo on her arm, looking very opinionated and domineering.
The Man first glanced at the woman's chest on his right, but immediately dismissed the thought after seeing her tattoo.
Then he looked at Gu Sang again...
With a gentle and reserved air, she appeared to be an polite college student who hadn't seen much of the world.
The Man pretended to doze off and leaned his head toward Gu Sang's shoulder.
Gu Sang frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and firmly pushed The Man away.
Shortly after, The Man did the same trick again, leaning on her shoulder.
"Excuse me, you're touching me."
Gu Sang politely pushed him away again.
Before long, The Man leaned over even more brazenly, even trying to put his hand on her leg??
This time, Gu Sang had seen enough!
"SLAP -!"
A resounding slap landed squarely on The Man's face.
The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the carriage and the ancient screen.
Gu Sang shoved The Man away with one push, her voice icy cold: "This is the third time! If you're not awake, go wash your face in the restroom."
"If you dare pretend to be asleep and lean on me again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
The Man, having lost his dignity from the slap, angrily stood up in a huff.
Failing to take advantage and instead getting slapped hard by Gu Sang, The Man cursed furiously: "What the hell, what's with the act?"
"Who leaned on you? Don't slander me with your violent ways, woman!"
"And besides, the way you're dressed is so slutty, what's wrong with touching you a little? If you don't want to be touched, dress more properly!"
Just listen!
After being exposed, The Man's first thought was not to reflect but to slander.
Gu Sang's dress was as normal as could be!
A small flower dress that reached her ankles - how was that revealing?
Before Gu Sang could get mad, Pei Changying and the ladies on the high-speed rail who heard the commotion spoke up simultaneously.
Pei Changying sneered through gritted teeth: "I warned you long ago that dressing like a harlot, you would inevitably be eyed by men! Gu Sang, you brought this on yourself!"
"With such wanton seduction, even if you get raped one day, it would be your own fault for being so vile!"
However, the modern girls were outraged, pointing at the lecherous man as they cursed: "Hey mister, the Qing Dynasty has ended, but your brain is still wrapped up tight!"
"This is how we girls normally dress, so following your logic, I should say that since you're so ugly, why don't you just go die!"
"Don't be afraid, Miss, we've called the police for you, the transit officers will be here soon."
The Man's face turned beet red as he stubbornly slandered: "Cut the crap! If she didn't give me a hint, why would I lean on her shoulder?"
"With so many women here, why would I only touch her and not the others?"
"It takes two hands to clap, she must have looked indecent and improper for me to do that. A slut! You dare hit me, you just wait, if you don't pay me fifty thousand, I'll report you to the police!"
At these words, Gu Sang completely lost control of her Primordial powers.
She immediately raised her hand again and slapped The Man hard across the face!
This slap!
Resounded throughout the entire compartment!
Even the curly-haired beauty sitting in the aisle glanced at Gu Sang!
Before The Man could retaliate, Gu Sang's next few sentences left him completely frozen on the spot: "Did one slap make enough noise now?"
"You said why I didn't touch others, only you, you daren't say, so let me say it!"
"What I'm about to say has no intention of offense, but I need to use this as an analogy."
"The clothes I'm wearing, in modern times, are as normal as can be - a long dress, white sneakers, ponytail. I look like a gentle, reserved girl."
"Now the gorgeous lady next to you."
"She's dressed in a sensual, fashionable way, with big curly hair, a great figure - compared to me, wouldn't you say she looks more womanly? More fiery hot? Why didn't you dare touch her?"
"Because you're a coward, you're afraid, your thoughts are lecherous yet you're too timid to be bold. It has nothing to do with how much or little a woman is dressed!"
"It's me - I look like an easy target, a college student who can be bullied! Even if I was touched or groped, I wouldn't dare make a scene, I could only swallow it silently."
"But her! One look and she's clearly a sophisticated, independent, strong woman who has seen the world. Not someone to be trifled with - if you dared to get touchy with her, she would definitely fight back!"
"You pathetic excuses for upright men, vile worms who fear the light, clearly it is your own dark hearts that are to blame, yet you insist on blaming women for dressing provocatively and revealing too much skin! When a more voluptuous and fiery beauty stands before you, you worry about retaliation and dare not lay a hand on her, instead preying only on meek, well-behaved girls!"
"And once these well-behaved girls dare to resist, you start slandering them for dressing improperly?!"
"You truly are disgusting, damn you!"
Gu Sang grew more and more incensed as he spoke, slapping The Man viciously across the face and sending him crashing to the ground.
