After the base commander opened the gate to the castle villa, Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai both froze for a moment.
The gate was already stunning, but the scene inside was even more breathtaking.
Even without the lights on, the luxurious decorations are still visible by the moonlight.
Especially crystals, which sparkle under the refraction of light, are very common.
Not only are the chandeliers inlaid with huge crystals, but even the pillars and tables are covered with beautiful crystals.
A sliver of moonlight shone into the room, and after repeated refraction, the entire room shone brightly, creating a beautiful and enchanting scene.
The refracted light reveals a carpet inlaid with gemstones.
Before she even stepped onto the carpet, Bai Xizhu felt a pang of heartache.
The taste of the wealthy is truly extraordinary; such expensive items are casually laid out on the floor—it's so extravagant!
Aside from the expensive carpets on the floor, every decoration exudes a sense of "luxury".
Hanging on the wall are antique paintings in ink, which look quite old.
There was very little modern furniture, not even a television; all the decorations were rustic and antique.
They look very wealthy.
Bai Xizhu took a step and her toes were pricked by the gemstones embedded in the carpet.
Why are these things on the carpet?
Bai Xizhu wanted to bend down and pick the gems off the carpet.
"Hua's favorite thing is to walk barefoot on the cobblestones. It is said that this can massage the acupoints on the soles of the feet. If you always go out and walk on the cobblestones, it is easy to get a tan. So we laid this kind of special carpet at home."
The base commander said with a serious expression.
Bai Xizhu: ...
Why not bring the pebbles from outside into your home?
As expected, she didn't quite understand the world of the wealthy.
"There's nothing interesting upstairs, just some useless crystals and diamonds. Let's go straight to the basement!"
The base commander genuinely felt there was nothing to see; it was all flashy and impractical stuff, all shiny but not edible.
"good!"
Bai Xizhu's lips twitched slightly. She glanced at Leng Yebai and raised an eyebrow at him.
Unexpectedly, he is not only a young and promising entrepreneur, but also a super-rich second-generation heir!
Tsk!
With that kind of strength, if the world hadn't gone through an apocalypse, he would definitely have reached the pinnacle of his life.
Leng Yebai clearly understood Bai Xizhu's thoughts and gave her a helpless smile.
If Leng Yebai had the choice between the end of the world and the possibility of it, he would choose the end of the world without hesitation.
Even if many people die.
Because they met in the end times, and became acquainted because of the end times, he thought that if there had been no end times, he would still be a lonely and desolate person!
It is a sad phenomenon to have a vast fortune but no one by your side.
Leng Yebai does indeed have a fondness for wealth. The wealth he desires is not for his own possession, but rather the smile that appears on Xiaozhu's face when he gives all his wealth to her.
That's what he really wanted to see.
The base commander led the two men deeper and deeper until they reached a wall.
A huge painting hangs on the wall; it's an oil painting depicting a family of three. This painting shows the same scene as the photograph on the pocket watch in the base commander's pocket.
It was Leng Yebai and his family of three.
The gentleness on the woman's face in the oil painting is magnified a hundredfold; just sitting there, she gives people a very gentle feeling.
The base commander quietly looked at the oil painting, then carefully reached out and took it down, placing it aside.
Behind the oil painting was a hidden door. The base chief pressed something somewhere and pushed open the white, invisible door that was almost blending into the wall.
It was pitch black inside the door, and a chill was pouring out from within.
Bai Xizhu reached out and touched the hidden door, feeling a slight chill.
"It might be a bit cold in there." The base commander casually walked into the room closest to the invisible door, and came out with a blanket in his hand. He handed it to Bai Xizhu with a smile and said, "Wearing this might make you feel better."
Bai Xizhu possesses ice-type superpowers and is very sensitive to cold, but she doesn't feel particularly cold.
Bai Xizhu did not refuse the base chief's kindness. She thanked the base chief, wrapped the blanket around herself, and went inside with the base chief, Leng Yebai.
As soon as she stepped inside, Bai Xizhu felt a sense of smoke, perhaps because it was too cold and the air was filled with cold air.
The base chief turned on the basement lights, which were not particularly bright, emitting a dim, yellowish glow.
The further you go in, the colder it gets.
"She's inside. You need to talk to her properly in a bit. She really wants to find you."
The base commander's voice was very soft.
Leng Yebai didn't speak or respond, but Bai Xizhu caught a barely perceptible nod from him out of the corner of her eye.
The three of them finally arrived in front of a huge glass ice coffin.
The glass coffin was hazy, and one could vaguely see a woman with a graceful figure lying inside.
Leng Yebai's mother died more than 20 years ago. People got married back then, so she was probably around the same age as Bai Xizhu now.
The entire glass coffin exuded a chill, with visible cold air constantly emanating from it.
Besides the refrigerated ice coffin, Bai Xizhu also saw many scientific methods used for preservation.
With the base commander's financial resources, doing something like this would be incredibly easy.
