"These are phoenix seeds!"
Xie's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, tinged with surprise, "Sheng Sheng, where did you get the phoenix seed?"
I bought it from a herbal medicine shop.
Mo Shisheng asked calmly, sensing Xie's shocked expression, "What are phoenix seeds?"
"Phoenix seeds are practically living fossils. Phoenixes are basically extinct, but phoenix seeds do exist in the world. Under certain circumstances, it is possible to summon a phoenix from within them," Xie whispered in Mo Shisheng's ear.
When these words reached Mo Shisheng's ears, a blurry image flashed before her eyes, but when she tried to see it clearly, she couldn't make it out.
"Sheng Sheng... Sheng Sheng? Did you hear what I said?"
Noticing that Mo Shisheng was distracted, Xie tried to gently bring her back to her senses.
Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback, a sharp pain shooting through her temples. She raised a hand to rub her forehead. "What did you just do?"
"I am. Why did you buy the phoenix seeds? You shouldn't recognize them." This was the strangest thing for Xie. Logically speaking, Mo Shisheng should have never come into contact with phoenix seeds before.
Moreover, the phoenix seed is ugly in appearance, so why did Mo Shisheng buy it?
"I don't know, but I feel a sense of warmth and happiness." Mo Shisheng seemed a little tired, so she got up, took a clean set of ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), put on her mask, and walked outside. "I'm going to wash up. I have to get up early tomorrow, so you should rest too."
"All right."
Xie Guaiguai agreed, and then the mental connection between him and Mo Shisheng's mind was severed with a "snap".
As Mo Shisheng walked out the door, she ran into Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xue returning from outside.
"Yan'er, didn't you go out to buy anything today?"
Shangguan Xue walked up to Mo Shisheng with a string of candied hawthorns in her hand. "Do you want some?"
"I'm not eating. I'm going to wash up. I have to get up early tomorrow." Mo Shisheng smiled and shook her head.
"Oh well."
Shangguan Xue nodded, tilting her head slightly to look at Mo Shisheng, and asked curiously, "Yan'er, why don't you take off your mask?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback. She was used to wearing a mask, and besides, her face was too flamboyant and would attract a lot of trouble, so she might as well keep the mask on.
Seeing that Mo Shisheng didn't answer, Shangguan Xue thought she had said something wrong, so she put on a bitter face and said, "Yan'er, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, don't worry! In my heart you are still the beautiful Yan'er!"
"Okay, I'll wash up quickly. Go sit for a while and get ready to wash up and go to bed too."
Mo Shisheng chuckled softly, raised her hand to ruffle Shangguan Xue's hair, and turned to walk towards the washroom.
Shangguan Ying's gaze remained fixed on Mo Shisheng until she entered the washroom, at which point she looked away.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her. Shangguan Ying turned around and saw that it was Qi Muxiao.
She seemed to have just finished packing her things when she opened the door and came out. She was slightly taken aback when she saw Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xue. "Are all the people from the Shangguan family living in the same dormitory as me?"
"almost."
Shangguan Ying nodded slightly and answered softly.
"All right."
Qi Muxiao nodded, and seeing that the bathroom door was closed, she picked up the dress in her hand and turned to go back into the room.
Shangguan Xue was a little tired, so she sat on a wooden chair outside and slowly ate her candied hawthorn.
