Chapter 100: The contents of the vanity box...



When she picked it up at the restaurant, she didn't realize that the box was a single, seamless piece with no way to open it.

"Where... do we start?"

"Xin Sui is skilled in mechanisms and disguise. This is a puzzle box. See if you can open it."

"Huh?" Mu Run suddenly felt a headache coming on. She knew nothing about puzzles; she had played with the nine-linked rings when she was little, but couldn't solve them no matter what she tried, so she ended up smashing them with a hammer...

"Forget it, I don't want this thing." He tossed the vanity case back to it.

As a result, when I threw it, 'click~' the vanity case opened!

Mu Run stared in disbelief, "Huh?"

Fu Yunchen was also a little surprised, and finally laughed and said, "I guess he didn't expect you to smash it so directly."

“Anything that humiliates me is worth discarding,” Mu Run replied seriously, then picked up the vanity box again.

Just like peeling an egg, once the red shell is opened.

Inside was a perfectly round object, much like an egg. I tapped it, and it made a thumping sound.

"What is this?" Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen, holding up the perfectly round egg.

“It’s the shell; the gift should be inside,” Fu Yunchen said.

"Shell? Then keep smashing it." With that, Mu Run raised the egg again.

Fu Yunchen quickly stopped him, "No, maybe it's something else."

'Crack—' The eggshell broke.

Fu Yunchen: "..." He swallowed back the words "solution".

"What else?" Mu Run asked.

"No, I didn't say anything." Fu Yunchen focused on rowing the boat.

Mu Run peeled back the eggshell, revealing a gauze garment inside. The gauze was as thin as a cicada's wing, emitting a soft, luminous glow in the night.

"What's this?"

Fu Yunchen glanced at it and then looked away. "Clothes, please."

"It's completely transparent, it doesn't cover anything at all..." Mu Run suddenly realized that there are such clothes in modern times, the kind that are more for erotic purposes.

"What the hell?" Mu Run blushed slightly and was about to throw away the gauze dress.

Fu Yunchen quickly said, "No, this is made from the sacred silk spit out by the Gu Mother. Wearing it will protect you from all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants."

"Huh? Really?" Mu Run looked at the gauze dress in her hand. "Does it keep mosquitoes away?"

Summer is almost here, and mosquitoes have already been buzzing around my ears these past few days.

Fu Yunchen said, "Okay."

"Let's keep it then, we can wear it over our pajamas to keep mosquitoes away."

"what ever."

Mu Run crumpled the gauze dress and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, as if it were a wad of cloth. She had no idea that the sacred silk gauze dress was worth a fortune.

With the other vanity case, Mu Run used the same trick again, smashing it violently...

But it didn't budge an inch!

"Huh? Why isn't it open?"

“This shouldn’t be something that can be easily broken by throwing it,” Fu Yunchen said.

Mu Run pouted, "I'm just not naturally inclined to use my brain. If I were willing to use it even a little, I wouldn't have made any mistakes during my college entrance exam... cough cough~ nothing."

Since she couldn't open it, Mu Run didn't touch the other makeup box. Instead, she took out the sacred silk gauze dress and looked at the stars and moon through the gauze. Unexpectedly, a hazy pink halo appeared.

If this halo were on a woman's body, it would indeed be quite ambiguous.

What does "Xin Sui" do?

"Him? He's a good-for-nothing."

What is a proper job?

"Assassin."

"...Then it's better not to do anything productive."

Mu Run yawned, looking at the calm and wide river surface, and gradually recognized it, "This is the moat?"
