Chapter 723 Is this a dream?

If they hadn't witnessed that terrifying monster with their own eyes not long ago, the two adults would have thought that Ye Wanxi had just made up all this story to trick them into buying the amulet.

Since the person was brought by Li Qinyan, and seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Qinyan immediately stepped in to smooth things over: "Ahem... Is this the lucky charm that caused such a stir online before, and that supposedly saved all the passengers on the plane from kidnappers? Can I buy a few?"

"Yes, each person is limited to five tickets."

Li Qinyan: "???" What the heck? This thing is subject to purchase limits?

Despite her complaints, Li Qinyan couldn't take them back once she had said them.

Upon learning that a single talisman cost 100,000 yuan, she reluctantly paid for two, her expression as she transferred the money as if her flesh was being ripped off, which almost made Ye Wanxi laugh in anger.

Qiu Yuerong, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, was speechless.

You'd be better off saying nothing at all. You didn't handle the situation well, and you've made their Sister Ye look even more like a swindler selling talismans.

While Ye Wanxi and Li Qinyan were making their transaction, the couple had been secretly checking what Li Qinyan had just said.

Most of the leaked information and videos about this matter had already been deleted, but some netizens' comments are still there.

The couple looked at the netizens' comments and some people's summaries, and felt that the matter was too mysterious and not very real.

But for the sake of their child, the two gritted their teeth and spent money to buy a good luck charm.

After the transaction was completed, Aunt Fang couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Ye, is our Zhao Zhao all set? Around when will he wake up?"

"Five more minutes."

Aunt Fang's eyes brightened slightly: "Will she wake up in five more minutes?"

"Um."

Uncle Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief and said at the right time, "In that case, let's go outside and sit for a while."

The child was still asleep, and they absolutely dared not let Ye Wanxi leave like that.

Fortunately, five minutes isn't long; I can just sit outside for a while and we'll be there, so it won't delay anything.

"Okay, I also have something I want to ask her."

The appearance of this doll is suspicious. If it were just one, that would be fine, but if it's a mass-produced item...

Xiao Jihui will probably be busy again.

Xiao Jihui, who was busy with official business at the time, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

Achoo! Who's talking about me behind my back?

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside, and then the office door was pushed open.

"Deputy Commander, the first squad has just lost contact, and the members remaining outside are requesting backup."

Xiao Jihui's expression changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly: "What?"

Ye Wanxi was unaware of what was happening on Xiao Jihui's side. Uncle Zhao called Ye Wanxi and the others to go outside, but Aunt Fang was worried about her daughter and decided to stay in the house to wait for the child to wake up.

As she watched the group leave, Aunt Fang immediately noticed the doll in Ye Wanxi's hand, remembering what Ye Wanxi had just said about the terrifying monster being sealed inside the doll.

Aunt Fang's expression changed slightly; she wished she could throw it out of the house immediately, as far away as possible.

"This doll..."

Ye Wanxi glanced down at the doll, and said thoughtfully, "Can I take it with me?"

"Yes, yes, of course!" Aunt Fang's eyes lit up; she couldn't have been happier.

Ye Wanxi nodded and went out with the others.

Five minutes is about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Uncle Zhao led the group back to the hall. Just as he started brewing tea, he heard his wife's joyful exclamation from inside the room.

Looking at the time again, it was five minutes, not a minute more, not a minute less. Amazing!

Zhao Fangzhao felt like she had a very long dream in which she entered a fantastical fairy tale kingdom and met many of her favorite two-dimensional characters.

She settled in the kingdom, and everyone treated her very kindly.

Until one day, the darkness hidden beneath the peaceful facade was exposed, the Fairy Tale Kingdom turned into a living hell, and the paper figures she loved tore off their masks one by one, becoming executioners who hunted her down.

Zhao Fangzhao tried desperately to escape, but he was outnumbered and surrounded by a large group of people, losing his way to safety.

She awoke with a start the moment the butcher's knife was raised.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw my mother's surprised and excited expression.

"Zhao Zhao, you're awake! You're finally awake! You scared your mother to death!"

"Mom?" Zhao Fangzhao blinked, somewhat bewildered. "I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time."

"No, I slept for a long time, more than an hour."

"Yeah?"

Zhao Fangzhao's mind was still a little sluggish. More than an hour? Had she only slept for a little over an hour?

What was she doing more than an hour ago? I have absolutely no recollection of it.

"Alright, alright, get up first. Your sister Li brought guests over. If it weren't for her, you would be in grave danger this time. Come with me to meet them."

"Sister Li? Sister Li from next door?"

"Who else could it be but her? We really owe her a debt of gratitude this time. You have no idea how scared I was just now. It was all because of that doll you brought home. Why did you have to play with that thing? You almost lost your life. If anything had happened to you, how would your father and I have survived?"

As Aunt Fang helped her daughter put on her coat, she unconsciously began to mutter to herself.

Zhao Fangzhao grew increasingly confused. A doll? What happened to her doll? Right, where is her doll?

"Mom, where's my baby?"

Aunt Fang was also quite annoyed when she heard her ask about the doll: "Doll, my foot! You almost got killed by it."

"What?"

Before Zhao Fangzhao could think further, Aunt Fang had already pulled her out of the room.

Upon emerging, Zhao Fangzhao immediately spotted Ye Wanxi sitting opposite his elderly father and exclaimed in surprise, "You are... that celebrity, the one who played the senior sister..."

Ye Wanxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the little girl was probably talking about the first TV series she acted in after she traveled back in time. In that series, she played a senior disciple of a sect whose personality was somewhat similar to Yun Ke's.

"Yes, I am the senior sister."

Upon confirming the identity of the person in front of him, Zhao Fangzhao's eyes widened even more: "What are you doing in my house?"

Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Fang slapped her and scolded, "You have no manners! What do you mean, 'senior sister'? This is Miss Ye. Your sister Li specially invited this master to save you. Show some respect and don't be so rude."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangzhao looked as if he had seen a ghost, his gaze shifting between Ye Wanxi and Li Qinyan, wondering if he was still dreaming.

Why would a master be specially invited to save her? What's wrong with her that she needs a master's help? And why was it Sister Li who invited him? Isn't Sister Li and this person mortal enemies?!
