Chapter 158: Miss, This Is Your Home

Xiao Xi followed Feng Lingran’s sight and looked into the coffin. He asked curiously, “Feng Lingran, what did you see?”

“Desire.” Nu Er sneered.

Xiao Xi opened her mouth slightly. So I saw my desire in the coffin?

Ok! It turns out that the deepest desire in my heart is not beautiful men… but… wealth. Subconsciously, I knew that the value of pink and blue diamonds was extremely high. They are light and convenient to be taken away, so I saw the most valuable diamonds in the coffin.

Xiao Xi’s gaze moved to Feng Lingran’s face again. She was curious about what was Ling Lingran’s desire?

After a moment.

Feng Lingran didn’t seem to intend to say it, so Xiao Xi asked again. He still didn’t say anything which made Xiao Xi purse her lips.

This man is really stingy.

“The unspeakable desire is basically a shameful desire.” Nu Er sneered.

Feng Lingran looked up and gave Nu Er a cold look, “What is your desire then?”

Nu Er’s mouth twitched slightly, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Feng Lingran said coldly, “I will return the words to you.”

Nu Er choked on Feng Lingran’s words. She pursed his red lips and snorted coldly, feeling displeased in her mind.

Xiao Xi was intrigued by curiosity and looked at Nu Er’s fascinating face, “Nu Er, what did you see in the coffin?”

Nu Er’s cheeks were thin red; her red eyes shimmered; her long lashes drooped. She was like a shy woman who met her crush.

A light flashed in Xiao Xi’s eyes. Nu Er saw the person she likes in the coffin? Who is that person? And what kind of man would make Nu Er, a brilliant woman, tempted?

“Nu Er, is there anything we can’t say between you and me? Tell me quickly, what you did see… uh, you can tell me secretly.”

Xiao Xi thought that it was Nu Er’s privacy after all. Nu Er was a girl, so she would definitely not be willing to speak out in public.

Anyway, it didn’t matter if someone knew as long as her curiosity was satisfied.

“En.” Nu Er nodded slightly. She planned to secretly tell Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi was delighted in her heart and looked at Feng Lingran, “You let me go first. I will come back soon.”

Feng Lingran did not make it difficult for Xiao Xi this time. He put her down instead. Feng Lingran frowned as he saw her rushing to Nu Er’s side excitedly.

Xiao Xi and Nu Er walked to a corner slightly away from the crowd, then she waved a hand and gestured to Nu Er to squat down and tell her quietly.

Nu Er was obedient in front of Xiao Xi. She squatted down and whispered to Xiao Xi’s ear, “Nu Er see…”

Nu Er paused at the most critical time.

Xiao Xi’s heart seemed to be scratched by the cat’s paw. It was itchy and unbearable.

“Hurry up and tell.”

Nu Er grinned, “Miss, you are so impatient.”

Xiao Xi rolled her eyes. You know I’m impatient, then why don’t you say quickly?

Nu Er laughed. She blushed as she said softly, “Miss, Nu Er will say, but you don’t laugh at Nu Er.”

Xiao Xi even wanted to strangle Nu Er to death now. Girl, are you teasing me? Can you talk about the key points? I want to listen to the key points.

“En.”

Xiao Xi nodded. Now if Nu Er tells her that she likes zombies, I will not laugh at Nu Er.

After all, Nu Er has been lying in the underground palace for so long, and there seemes to be nothing but zombies here…

Nu Er’s breathing was slightly disrupted, and she whispered, “Nu Er saw… a pair of embroidered shoes.”

“…”

Xiao Xi was stunned. A pair of embroidered shoes? Is Nu Er joking?

Ok!

I have a low IQ. I did not understand why Nu Er saw a pair of embroidered shoes in the coffin? Is Nu Er’s desire to have a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes?

Xiao Xi returned to Feng Lingran. Nu Er looked at Xiao Xi’s tiny figure and turned her red eyes slightly.

Miss, Nu Er just wants to be by your side forever, so that you will not be bullied by anyone.

Nightshade stared at the little girl who walked to Feng Lingran. He thought that Xiao Xi gave Feng Lingran a slap meant that Xiao Xi already had His Highness in her heart. She should recognize her inner thoughts and return to His Highness. However, he didn’t expect that Xiao Xi was not only nervous after hitting Feng Lingran, but she didn’t didn’t even look at His Highness until now.

Is His Royal Highness’ hands broken for nothing?

Nightshade clenched his fingers tightly, hoping to grab the little girl who went into Feng Lingran’s arms herself.

Xiao Xi, you hurt His Highness again and again. One day, you will have retribution.

Feng Lingran saw the little girl who went back to his side, and his flattened thin lips slightly relaxed a little. He reached out to hug the little girl.

Suddenly.

A dazzling white light shot from the coffin, covering all the people beside the coffin.

Nu Er was shocked and quickly rushed toward Xiao Xi, shouting nervously, “Miss.”

In the blink of an eye.

All of them disappeared beside the coffin, leaving only the cold coffin. The coffin was empty inside as well.

The dazzling white light dissipated.

Xiao Xi opened her eyes and saw Nu Er holding her tightly in her arms. Xiao Xi said nervously, “Nu Er, are you okay?”

Nu Er smiled. Her red eyes had already turned into black eyes, “Miss, Nu Er is fine.”

“Nu Er, your eyes…”

Nu Er blinked her eyes, then Xiao Xi only discovered that Nu Er’s eyes were peach blossom eyes [1]. Although they were not like Nan Gongyin’s eyes that could suck souls, it was very enchanting. Only when Nu Er was in the underground palace, her eyes would turn red. It would only make people feel scared even if they looked good.

“What happened to my eyes? Did it turn black?”

Xiao Xi nodded.

Nu Er’s heart was filled with joy. He got up from the ground, picked up Xiao Xi, and cleared the dust on Xiao Xi’s body.

“I’m back again! That’s great.”

Xiao Xi was stunned. What did Nu Er mean? What did it mean to be back again?

“Nu Er, where are we?”

Xiao Xi looked around. Obviously, this is no longer the underground palace of Kyushu City, but an unfamiliar environment. Where did the white flash bring me and Nu Er to?

Xiao Xi’s heart skipped for a moment. If I remember correctlly, the moment when the coffin released the white light, Feng Lingran was reaching out to hug me. Then, I was brought here by the white light. Feng Lingran must have been brought here by the white light too.

Where is Feng Lingran?

Nu Er’s mouth twitched with a light smile. It looked charming and unparalleled, “This is the world of Miss.”

What?

My world?

“Squeak…”

Xiao Xi looked down and saw a snow-white little fox, shaking its fluffy tail at her.

“Ling Er.”

Xiao Xi slipped from Nu Er’s arms and reached out to hug the little fox on the ground. Her clear eyes were full of surprise.

“Where did you go? There are zombies in Kyushu City. What to do if you are in danger?”

Xiao Xi poked her finger at the little fox’s head, and she said with concern.

Ling Er cleverly laid in Xiao Xi’s arms without making a sound. Its head that was being poked at also didn’t move as if it knew that it was wrong.

Xiao Xi couldn’t bear to blame Ling Er too. Her small hand touched Ling Er’s fluffy head again, then she felt Nu Er’s strange gaze. She raised her head and met Nu Er’s peach blossom eyes.

“It’s called Ling Er. It’s my master…” She wanted to introduce Ling Er to Nu Er, but she blurted out Zi Yi’s name…

“It is your master?” Nu Er raised an eyebrow.

“Uh… this… Nu Er, you got it wrong. It was given to me by a man named Shi Fu (also mean master in Chinese pinyin).”

“Miss, it looks like you.”

Xiao Xi picked up Ling Er, then assessed it around. She said with a smile. “Like me? Hehehe…”

Nu Er pointed to Ling Er’s tails, “Six tails.”

Xiao Xi saw Ling Er’s tails that combined together and counted them. It was really six. Her mouth twitched slightly.

Zi Yi, you didn’t tell me that Ling Er’s tail will also increase?

She wanted to be quiet.

After two hours.

Xiao Xi hugged Ling Er and looked at the mansion in front of her. The plaque on the door was engraved with lively golden words, “Spirit Palace”.

“Miss, go in! This is your home.”

Xiao Xi frowned. She wanted to explain to Nu Er that she was not her Miss. Seeing Nu Er’s glamorous face, Xiao Xi’s mind flashed through the scene when she first saw her in the coffin. Nu Er’s eyes were bloody and gruesome at that time.

Xiao Xi shuddered. If Nu Er knew the truth, Xiao Xi thought that she would die horribly.

“Miss, don’t worry. There is no place safer than home.” Nu Er saw the worry in Xiao Xi’s eyes and said softly.

“Nu Er.” Xiao Xi raised her head and looked at Nu Er’s peach blossom eyes, “I want to return to the underground palace.”

“Miss, they also followed in. It’s better to wait for the end of your marriage selection and go back to the underground palace!” Nu Er saw Xiao Xi’s doubts in her eyes, and she said with a smile, “This is also Madam’s idea. Miss’s dowry is extraordinary. No one can get the dowry if the person is not sincere to miss. If their sincerity is fake, they will die here.”

Nu Er added a sentence without explaning it.

What kind of “dowry” can make Nan Gongyin and Feng Lingran so tempted?

Xiao Xi was puzzled, but compared to her life, that “dowry” was nothing in Xiao Xi’s eyes. There were strange things in the underground palace. This strange place was even stranger. She was not Nu Er’s Miss, and she was mistakenly recognized as Miss, so it would be discovered sooner or later. She had an illusion that in this strange place, Nu Er’s true Miss would show up. By the time, she would die awfully, so it was better to leave now.

Xiao Xi’s watery eyes looked at Nu Er, “Nu Er, I’m still young. I don’t want to get married so early. Can you take me back to the underground palace!”

As long as Nu Er agreed, Xiao Xi would let Nu Er take Feng Lingran and Nan Gongyin back to the underground palace.

Nu Er saw Xiao Xi’s watery eyes. Then she squatted down and sighed, “Miss, it’s not that Nu Er doesn’t want to take you back to the underground palace, but when the spirit coffin opens, if Miss’ dowry doesn’t appear, no one can leave here.”

Xiao Xi was shocked in her heart, thinking that when he was in the underground palace, Nu Er was raging when the spirit coffin was opened by Nightshade. Xiao Xi suddenly realized that Nu Er knew the effect of the spirit coffin long ago, so that was why she was so angry at that time.

I can only leave when the dowry appears?
