"call……"
Gu Qingwan's words were like a shot of adrenaline, piercing Jiang Cheng's heart and finally putting him at ease.
Since Gu Qingwan has already given him a hint, he shouldn't resist anymore...
Even so, Jiang Cheng still turned his head slightly uneasy to look at everything around him. He suddenly felt himself being lifted up by a bunch of people and then placed in a recess in the middle of the huge wooden table.
The hairpin maid slowly walked to Jiang Cheng's head and stared at him with eyes as cold as still water: "Don't... move."
She pronounced those two words very stiffly, and they were overflowing with anger.
Jiang Cheng turned away, slightly annoyed, avoiding her gaze. He stopped struggling and simply lay awkwardly on the wooden table.
The complete exposure of private parts, the bone-chilling cold of fresh air, the numerous maids surrounding him, and the unease of the unknown situation...
Every single one of these things made Jiang Cheng extremely uneasy.
Gu Qingwan seemed to sense his emotional change, and then spoke again in their minds: "Boss, it's alright, please don't worry. At least, I'm still here."
"……knew."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind as much as possible, then closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to the noise around him. Seeing his reaction, the four maids who were holding his limbs finally released their grip on him.
The next moment.
Jiang Cheng suddenly felt himself begin to move forward.
In his memory, the legs of this heavy wooden table were fitted with wheels, indicating that someone was pushing the table across the corridor.
The thought of himself traveling through a palace made Jiang Cheng open his eyes again, calmly observing the changing scenery around him.
As expected, it was exactly what he predicted.
The wooden table, pushed by the maids, slowly moved towards the southeast corner of the palace.
The hairpin maid walked briskly beside Jiang Cheng, following him step by step.
However, Jiang Cheng also knew that her position was near his vital points. If he made any inappropriate move, this exceptionally skilled woman would instantly eliminate him.
"Oh……"
Jiang Cheng wanted to close his eyes and rest again, but he found that the surrounding environment had changed once more.
At this moment, he was pushed into the room.
A warm, dry breeze swept over his body, smoothing his pores that were trembling slightly from the cold, while also making his eyelids feel heavier and heavier.
The warmth and dim lighting inside created an extremely cozy atmosphere, and Jiang Cheng felt his body slowly begin to feel drowsy.
It seems he hasn't had a proper rest since he entered this dream world.
Although his spiritual power fully entered the dream world of Sakura Kingdom, this physical body, namely "Minglingye" in the dream world, continued its cyclical life within it. As he took over the body, he naturally inherited everything related to it.
Pain, excitement, exhaustion, distress...
All of this is something he needs to fully process.
Previously, due to the constant stream of unexpected events, Jiang Cheng's nerves had been on edge, and he hadn't realized how exhausted his body was. Only now, having consciously relaxed, did he suddenly feel the overwhelming fatigue coursing through his body.
If it weren't for the constant noise around him, he probably would have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.
"That won't do..."
After feeling the negative effects on his body, Jiang Cheng quickly opened his eyes, using his visual senses to stimulate his nerves.
At the same time, he was also drawn to the ukiyo-e prints covering the entire wall.
Jiang Cheng had learned about the culture of Japan, so he naturally knew that "Ukiyo-e" was a type of work used to depict contemporary life.
Therefore, it is clear that the ukiyo-e prints in front of him must be recording the family lineage of the owners of this large manor.
However, his current position was quite awkward, and his view was very limited. Jiang Cheng could only briefly observe the wood carvings on the wall within the limited time he had.
There are fierce warriors capturing little devils, a large hellish scene pieced together from countless demon masks, plainly dressed washerwomen working by the stream, and even a beautiful geisha adorned with gorgeous accessories, leaning against a stone pillar...
What attracted Jiang Cheng's attention the most was the ukiyo-e prints on the other wall, depicting the rise and fall of dynasties in the Sakura Kingdom over the years in chronological order.
"Then it can't be wrong." Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
This magnificent palace must be the palace of the royal family of the Kingdom of Sakura!
He wasn't entirely sure before, only assuming it was some noble family's mountain estate. But now that even ukiyo-e prints depicting royal succession were appearing on the walls, this must be the private palace of the Japanese royal family.
As he was pondering all of this, suddenly, a surge of heat rushed over him again.
As the humid heat arrived, the creaking sound of the maids pulling open the huge iron gate rubbed against Jiang Cheng's eardrums, making him feel increasingly uncomfortable.
"It's so hot..."
He instinctively loosened his tightly clenched shoulders, and a growing sense of unease and anxiety appeared in his eyes. Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, whether from tension or simply from the rising temperature, it was hard to tell.
At the same time, the clanging of knives against the cutting board made Jiang Cheng feel dizzy and lightheaded.
This is……
Is it the kitchen?
Jiang Cheng looked around, but only caught a few white-robed men hurrying past him. Judging from their attire, this must be the palace's kitchen.
