Chapter 140 Can't Keep Up with the Pace
Bai Xiaoxiao was confused.
She never thought that the task would be completed so abruptly.
Looking at the 2.4 million bonus that arrived in his account, the corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
Kui Ming was taken away quickly.
The noble men and women of the underworld took her to dinner.
But this meal was eaten quickly.
After all, no one would have an appetite when seeing the staple food covered with a layer of incense ash!
Bai Xiaoxiao reluctantly ate a few bites of food, then acted coquettishly and found an excuse to leave. She really couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Looking at the Chinese horror in the compound,
Bai Xiaoxiao only felt that her nerve cells had been sublimated in some way. After all, she could now watch a paper man painted with cinnabar floating in front of her eyes without any expression.
well……
I have to go see the eldest brother.
"Someone come!"
As soon as she called out, a maid responded immediately.
"Your Highness, what do you want?"
"Take me to see that..."
Bai Xiaoxiao's voice choked. She always had a premonition that if she spoke carelessly, she might say something bad.
The maid understood immediately: "I understand. Please follow me."
They took many twists and turns and arrived at the water dungeon where they were imprisoned.
A cold breath hit me, and dark water flowed beneath my feet. The maid held a large red lantern, its bright color appearing eerie and strange in the dark and ghostly atmosphere.
The young boy's wrists were tied with iron chains, half of his body was submerged in black water, his messy black hair was disheveled, and he still had that confused and dazed look on his face.
Bai Xiaoxiao approached the cell door, knocked on it twice and was about to shout "Kui Ming", but suddenly the word "big fool" came out of her mouth.
She was shocked.
[No, that’s not what I meant to say.]
"Big fool, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
【Why do I think and say different things? 】
"If you hear it, just squeak. Who are you trying to show off to by acting so listlessly?"
【I suddenly understood...】
"Do you understand?"
Bai Xiaoxiao put one hand on her waist and supported herself on the iron railing with the other hand as she looked at Kui Ming.
Kui Ming also opened his eyes wide and stared at her like a frustrated and confused puppy.
"Someone come!"
Bai Xiaoxiao shouted again, "Bring him to my palace. I will personally interrogate him."
It's so funny, isn't it just following the character's setting?
She's an old hand, you know.
As expected, she did not misunderstand her meaning, and the maids obeyed her orders and dragged Kui Ming out of the black water.
At that moment, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to smell a strong scent of blood.
Kui Ming was wearing a black short coat, so dark that nothing could be seen. Bai Xiaoxiao arrogantly stretched out her index finger and pointed. Immediately, a maid came forward and tore open Kui Ming's loose robe, revealing the burns that seemed to have been burned by fire. The scorched skin was clotted with blood, and it fell off layer by layer, leaving his legs with pits and pits, looking scary and hideous.
Bai Xiaoxiao stared for a while, then suddenly looked at the maid.
The maid shuddered all over and suddenly knelt down, trembling and saying, "Ghost, Ghost Princess, the water dungeon is where prisoners are held. The water in the dungeon... is naturally not ordinary."
"Of course I know, Your Highness. Do I need you to teach me?"
Bai Xiaoxiao glared at her fiercely, then glanced at Kui Ming, who had been staring at her intently. She lifted her gorgeous fishtail white gauze and pearl skirt and swung it violently, saying in a heroic and arrogant manner, "What are you all still standing there for? Hurry and take His Highness away from this filthy place."
"yes!"
Return to the bedroom.
Bai Xiaoxiao leaned comfortably on the soft chaise longue. On the glass table next to her were placed fresh grapes and plump lychees, which looked bright in color, juicy and moist. She picked one up, sniffed it, touched it, and made sure there was no incense ash or ashes on it, then put it in her mouth with confidence.
Kui Ming was brought back and still looked dazed and stupid. He didn't show any reaction to the sudden change of environment. He had the same expression in the dungeon as he did here.
She rested with a soft pillow, while he looked at the wall.
She was eating lychees, he was looking at the wall.
She stretched and swayed deliberately, but he still looked at the wall.
Bai Xiaoxiao even went to stand side by side with him to see what was so beautiful about that wall.
Oh, it’s so white that it will make you dizzy if you look at it for a long time.
She stopped struggling and slowly walked around Kui Ming to the bookshelf where the gilded incense burner was placed. There were rows of books with strange characters neatly arranged inside. Bai Xiaoxiao groped her way around and when she approached the gilded incense burner, she suddenly "accidentally" fell down. The gilded incense burner was knocked over by her, and the burning sparks "coincidentally" fell on the back of her hand.
"hiss--"
Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and looked at the burn which was not much bigger than a sesame seed and only felt a toothache.
But the group of people serving her were suddenly panicked.
"Your Highness! Are you okay?!"
"Your Highness, I'll help you up right now!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Princess Gui is injured! Very seriously!"
Bai Xiaoxiao: ...
Thank you, but that's not necessary.
But she really needs it.
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyelids fluttered, and she lay down on the ground weakly and helplessly. The already lively scene became even louder, like... oh, a funeral.
The corners of her mouth twitched at the metaphor she had imagined.
Compared to the noisy scene, Kui Ming was much quieter. He stood quietly and watched waves of people surrounding the "sick sister" and shouting. Occasionally, when his position was a little crowded, he would considerately keep some distance and watch those unsuspecting people bump into each other and fall down together.
Well, so weak.
The maids hurriedly put Princess Guiji on the soft couch to rest.
The ghost doctor who came to treat the patient after hearing the sound carefully took up Her Highness Ghost Princess's hand and looked left and right. Bai Xiaoxiao swore that if there was a magnifying glass in the medical equipment, then this ghost doctor might have used a microscope.
She turned her head somewhat weakly.
The inspection will take about half a cup of tea.
The ghost doctor solemnly announced that their Ghost Princess was only burned and had no other problems.
Thank you so much.
Is it easy for her to get some burns?
Bai Xiaoxiao watched the ghost doctor carefully and cautiously prescribe the medicine, and she glanced at him lightly.
Well, very good, just three medicine names.
[Is this really the underworld... Could it be the Mingke Mental Hospital?]
Kui Ming turned his gaze from the wall to her.
Nearly half a cup of tea passed.
A ball of black, sticky plaster was brought in on a delicate little porcelain dish.
Before Bai Xiaoxiao could say anything, the maidservant who had been serving her the entire time glared at her and said, "How dare you bring such a strong bitter medicine to His Highness? What will be your punishment if it fumes His Highness?"
Bai Xiaoxiao:???
Does it smell?
The maidservant came to her again and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry. It will only take a moment for me to apply the medicine to you."
Bai Xiaoxiao felt that it might be because she was too relaxed that she couldn't keep up with their pace.
