Chapter 223: Nightmare

Xiao Xi nodded. She suddenly grabbed Nu Er’s arm and looked at him pleadingly with wet eyes, “Xiao Gu has a pure nature, and he had lost her maternal love because of me. Nu Er, you promise me, from now on, no matter what happens, you must not hurt Xiao Gu.”

Nu Er had never seen Xiao Xi’s pleading eyes. Xiao Gu’s position in her heart is not like her own brother, but it is more than that.

How could he bear rejecting his Miss?

“Okay, Nu Er promised Miss.”

On the other side.

Qin Guan returned to Qin Mansion delightedly. He couldn’t help but smile happily. His mind was thinking about Nu Er’s charming face.

Bang.

Qin Guan thought too deeply and didn’t notice the front, so he slammed into the door straight. He rubbed his sore forehead with his rough palm, and he finally regained his thought.

“Master, are you okay?” Suddenly a voice sounded around Qin Guan, scaring Qin Guan.

“Damn, why are you following me like a ghost?”

The little servant said with a bitter face, “Subordinate has called you several times just now, wanting to remind you that there is a door in front, but master kept walking forward like you’re possessed. You didn’t bother subordinate at all.”

Qin Guan’s big hand patted on the servant’s head again. His eyes widened, “You are the one who is possessed. I was thinking about a big event in the imperial court.”

The servant believed in his master, “The master is concerned about the imperial court and the people. Master is really hard working.”

“Isn’t it?”

After Qin Guan finished speaking, his ears turned red. He walked into his room and looked at the bed without bothering the servant.

He walked to the bedside, removed the jade pillow, and took out a portrait from the hidden compartment underneath. The rough fingers trembling slightly when he took out the portrait. A beautiful woman in red was lying on the bed. Her fingers were long and slender; her body was as pale as jade. The unparalleled charming face; the peach blossom eyes were flickering while exuding a gruesome killing intent. Her clothes were red like the bloodthirsty equinox flower, setting off the woman’s white jade skin.

Every time Qin Guan saw this portrait, he was afraid and loved. Her eyes were poisonous. He knew he would be poisoned to death, but he was willing.

Qin Guan looked at it for a while, and his face reddened again. His whole body was uncomfortably tight. He swallowed his saliva at the portrait. His eyes looked at the flat chest of the portrait. Qin Guan seemed to feel something was wrong. When he tried tot hink, there was a huge pain in his brain. His facial features were distorted, but he was unwilling to exert even a little force for fear of ruining the portrait in his hand.

It seemed that he has lost an important memory. Whenever he thought deeply, his head hurts terribly. What happened to him?

As night came, the sky was covered with stars.

A special fragrance drifted into Qin Mansion. Qin Guan’s door opened and closed strangely.

“Who is it?”

Qin Guan was very alert. If there is a little movement, he will wake up. If not, he might have been ambushed by the enemy at night on the battlefield and died many times.

The candlelight was instantly lit.

Qin Guan saw the enchanting woman in a red dress, leaning lazily on the chair in his room. Qin Guan almost thought he saw it wrong.

“Miss Nu Er?” He rubbed his eyes vigorously. His heart was beating wildly. When he opened his eyes, he once again saw Nu Er’s face that he missed. Qin Guan’s rough face was a little red, “It’s really you?”

“Guan Guan.” Nu Er’s peach blossom eyes turned slightly. His soul stirring soft voice made Qin Guan’s heart soft. He was playing with his slender white fingers as he said casually, “I have something I don’t quite understand, can you answer it for me?”

Qin Guan got up from the bed excitedly and put on a robe, “What does Nu Er want to know? I will answer everythin I know.

Nu Er smiled fascinatingly and put down her fingers. He looked at Qin Guan with peach blossom eyes, “Where has the messenger of the holy capital reached?”

“Miss Nu Er, are you trying to…”

Regent mansion.

Xiao Xi woke up in the middle of the night with cold sweat on her head. She was panting. Her eyes looked panic. She put on her clothes, got out of bed, and walked toward the room where her body was lying.

Xiao Xi opened the door, but she didn’t see Nu Er in the room. She walked in, picked up the flint and lit the candle. She glanced at Ling Er who was cultivating with its eyes closed next to Spirit Epiphyllum, and her eyes flashed a hint of tenderness. She then looked at Xiao Xi on the bed. The familiar pale face had no vitality at all.

Just now, she had a strange dream. Xi Er’s soul awakened, left this body, and possessed her body.

How could this be?

If it could, her soul would have returned to her body long ago.

Seeing that the body on the bed was still closed, Xiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Isn’t it just a dream? How can I take it seriously? I’m overthinking it.

“Where did Nu Er go?”

Xiao Xi was a little puzzled. After waiting in the room for a while, she didn’t see Nu Er coming back. She was a little tired. She blew out the candle, walked out the door, and went back to the room to continue sleeping.

Xiao Xi saw a long figure standing at the door of her room in the dark night. Her heart suddenly trembled. After seeing the man’s face, Xiao Xi’s heart was relieved slightly.

“You can scare me to death. Master, why don’t you sleep at this late hour?”

The man didn’t answer her. His hands were behind him, and the moonlight shone on his face, making him look like a peerless jade. However, he wasn’t a warm jade but a cold jade.

Xiao Xi let out a breath, walked to the man, and patted his chest with her small hand, “Master, it’s already midnight, you should go to bed! Disciple is also very sleepy.”

“Why are you going to her?”

Feng Lingran suddenly spoke, and his dark eyes glanced at the little hand that on his chest. His eyes were indistinguishable.

Xiao Xi was getting sleepy. She shook her head and said, “I think too much, nothing.” Seeing his body blocked in front of her room, she raised her head, looking at him with sleepy eyes. She pouted, “Master, shall we chat tomorrow? Disciple is sleepy.”

Feng Lingran lowered his eyes, watching Xiao Xi’s vivid and pitiful expression. His thin lips sneered.

Master?

When Xiao Xi felt that there was something wrong with Zi Yi. He suddenly lifted his big palm and smiled softly, gently touching her head with his palm, “Okay, master will come back tomorrow to chat with disciple…”

Xiao Xi smiled sweetly at him. The weird feeling in her mind disappeared completely. She walked into the room from Feng Lingran’s side and fell asleep.

This night, perhaps it was destined to make Xiao Xi unable to sleep peacefully. Just after falling asleep, she had some strange dreams. In the dream, Feng Lingran strangled her neck and threw her into a water tank. He wanted to drown her to death.

She struggled desperately, but Feng Lingran’s hands were like sturdy shackles. She couldn’t get rid of them. The water in the tank poured into her mouth. She heard a familiar silver bell sound, and a delicate face appeared beside Feng Lingran. Her arms embraced Feng Lingran’s neck, and her body was affectionately attached to Feng Lingran’s back.

“Lord, kill her. Kill this bitch who pretends to be me. She is not worthy of you. In this world, only I’m worthy of you.”

It was Xi Er’s voice. She looked at Xiao Xi struggling in the water. Her eyes released a vicious light as if she was cursing, “Xiao Xi, you bitch, who allows you to occupy my body? You will never expect it right? I’m blessed by misfortune. I turned into you. From now on, Feng Lingran is mine, Nu Er is mine, Xiao Gu is mine, Zi Yi is mine, and you, go to death!”
