Chapter 394
The morning passed by quickly and Lin Huang brought them to the hotel after lunch . As they registered themselves at the front desk, fatty and Zhang Mengmeng did not stay too long in the room . Following Lin Huang's plan, the headed to a tourist attraction within the foothold . The White Capital was the biggest and oldest footholds in Division7 . There were many historical sites that occupied large spaces with various beautiful sceneries . It would take more than a month to visit all of them .
Lin Huang planned the trip from near to far so they could first visit the attractions that were closer to the hotel . If they had enough time, they could visit attractions that were further away or change their hotel if they wanted to .
Later, Lin Huang brought them to a giant lake . "This lake is called the Jingyue Lake, it's one of the most popular attractions in the White Capital . It's extra beautiful at night . I picked the hotel that's not far from here so you can see the night view of the lake from your balcony . There are a couple of celebrity monuments by the lake and one of the most popular ones would be the monument of Jingyue's Home, the ruins of a demigod's home…"
"So this is the lake that's named after the demigod Jingyue?" Fatty had heard of the demigod Jingyue before so he had a serious expression plastered on his face as he looked at the lake .
"Yes, the White Capital during that time was much smaller compared to what we see today . This lake was just a nameless lake in the while . The demigod Jingyue built his own house by the lake and that's how the lake got its name . " Lin Huang smiled and nodded .
"I know this one!" Lin Xin interrupted .
"More than 200 years ago, the demigod Jingyue fell in love with a man so she stayed by the lake . She announced to the world that she would wait by the lake for that one man for 10 years . If the person came within those 10 years, she would be with the man forever and ever without questioning the world . If he didn't come within those 10 years, she would head to the virtual world and never return… 10 years later, she disappeared . Some said she went to the virtual world while some said she left with the man . However, nobody knows what the man was…"
Fatty gave his full attention while listening to the story while Zhang Mengmeng seemed to be distracted . She did not look interested in the story at all .
"Brother, do you think that the demigod Jingyue got together with the love of her life?" Lin Xin asked Lin Huang .
"I think only she would know the answer . " Lin Huang shook his head and smiled .
"I think she did! What do you think, Mengmeng?" Fatty looked at Zhang Mengmeng, he seemed to be anticipating her reply .
"I… don't know . " Zhang Mengmeng waved her hands .
It was past four in the afternoon after looking at a couple of attractions by the lake .
"Jingyue's Home is just there, let's take look and have dinner after that . " Lin Huang looked at the time and decided that Jingyue's Home would be the last attraction of the day .
All the attractions by the lake were complimentary and one could enter just by scanning their ID as there were no restrictions .
As it was the summer holidays, the attraction was crowded . Jingyue's Home was in a small area with a small building and a courtyard to match . However, as it was a tourist attraction, the Union Government expanded the area around it to make it more than 30 times larger than it originally was . After queuing up, they entered the attraction . There were many people but it was not too cramped . They spent more than an hour walking around the expanded area and entered Jingyue's Home as the people left .
Lin Huang noticed that the ruins were perfectly maintained as he walked into the courtyard, he could even feel that the ruins were slightly covered with a unique force . It was possibly left by the demigod Jingyue or by some other people to prevent the ruins from being destroyed . The courtyard was small, only about 200-odd square meters . There were colorful flowers in the courtyard and the soil was moist with grass that had obviously been trimmed . The ruins must be maintained all year round .
People followed the cobblestones on the floor and walked to the middle of the courtyard where there was a big rock . Many couples surrounded the rock and placed their palms on it .
"What are they doing?" Fatty was puzzled but soon he noticed that all of them were couples .
"This is a Love Rock . They say if two people who sincerely love each other place their palms on the rock together, their palms would light up . " Lin Xin explained immediately . Young girls were always extra sensitive regarding topics about love .
"Let's try!" Fatty pulled Zhang Mengmeng along . Zhang Mengmeng hesitated but soon followed anyway . The both of them queued for more than 10 minutes and before long, it was their turn . Lin Huang and Lin Xin watched by the side . As fatty and Zhang Mengmeng placed their palms on the rock, nothing happened after a while .
"Eh? How come it doesn't light up?" Lin Xin was confused as everyone would have their palms lighting up, at least a little or more but nobody experienced what the both of them did where nothing happened .
Lin Huang looked at Zhang Mengmeng in doubt and then looked at fatty, he was upset .
"Why is it like that?"
"Don't bother, sometimes such things aren't accurate . " Lin Huang patted fatty's back .
"It's late, let's see the building and have dinner . "
"It doesn't work all the time?" Fatty looked at Lin Huang in all seriousness .
"Even machines that are top-notch fail sometimes, let alone a rock . " Lin Huang pulled fatty away .
Zhang Mengmeng held her head down without saying anything, she seemed upset too .
"Sister Mengmeng, don't be sad . Such thing might not be accurate . " Lin Xin consoled her immediately .
"Thank you . " Zhang Mengmeng forced a smile . With Lin Huang leading them, they went into the building . It was made of a unique kind of wood with light natural fragrance . Lin Huang felt refreshed as soon as he stepped into the building .
"This is so neat…" Fatty seemed to lighten up a little and exclaimed .
"Girls are more attentive . A guy wouldn't be able to come out with something so detailed . " Lin Huang smiled and nodded .
Lin Xin did not say anything as she had been here more than once . It was Lin Huang's first time so Lin Xin took the initiative to be the tour guide and explained the things they saw to them as they visited the attraction . As it was almost 6:40 p . m . , they had toured the entire attraction . Lin Huang then led the way as they left the attraction and headed to a popular restaurant that he picked for dinner…
