Chapter 220: As Expected Of Your Obsession
“Eh? He’s grown a brain.” Chang Xi said mockingly with a smiling expression.
Zhou Shiqing looked at Chang Xi irritably.
Looking closely, his temple was throbbing, as if he was suppressing his temper.
But in the end, Zhou Shiqing took a deep breath and controlled himself.
Xuan Xia also gave her a disapproving glance.
Why provoke him.
Now with Chang Xi saying that, she felt embarrassed to continue saying that Zhou Shiqing was dreaming.
Just as Xuan Xia was considering what other excuse to use to brush him off, Zhou Shiqing spoke up himself.
“I have something to tell you.” Zhou Shiqing said to Xuan Xia.
Xuan Xia temporarily set aside her thoughts of making up excuses. “What is it?”
Zhou Shiqing said: “Didn’t you ask me before what I saw? What I saw was exactly what you saw later.”
Just as Xuan Xia was about to speak, Zhou Shiqing quickly added, “Meaning, the scene of the man-eating, you saw it once, and I saw it twice.”
Xuan Xia pondered for a moment, then asked: “The same content? Sea God eating people?”
Zhou Shiqing nodded. “Identical, three people, one swallowed whole, one cut in half at the waist, one headless.”
Xuan Xia pondered again.
Chang Xi hissed, jokingly saying: “This won’t be foreshadowing our ending, right? Only one person can keep their body intact, the other two die without complete corpses.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
“Then let me guess who can keep their body intact. I guess… it should be you, kid. Between Xuan Xia and me, who will be more miserable, I don’t know.”
But both remaining kinds seem equally miserable, none more so.
Just as Chang Xi finished speaking, Zhou Shiqing and Xuan Xia both frowned.
Xuan Xia irritably spat at her: “No need to fit the description so perfectly.”
She didn’t want to lose any part of her body.
Zhou Shiqing was even more irritated than Xuan Xia. He directly darkened his face and asked Chang Xi: “Do you think this joke is funny?”
Chang Xi looked at him, quickly furrowing her brows. When had she ever been retorted like this, especially by an ordinary person without abilities.
But unexpectedly, Chang Xi didn’t retort back. She first sneered, then arrogantly lifted her chin and said, “You’re right, it’s indeed not funny.”
“Even if you and Xuan Xia both die, I won’t possibly die. Moreover, not only will I not die, I will replace the predecessor and become the existence that controls this place.” As she spoke, she spread her hands, matching her expression, quite like she was lording over the world.
Xuan Xia glanced at her, not thinking Chang Xi was overly confident, but curiously asked, “What after becoming the ruler that controls this place?”
“Of course, find a way back to Ningzhou to find Daoist Master Qin.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
“The matter he promised me, until he fulfills it for me, how could I let him go.” Chang Xi said it as if it were a matter of course.
Xuan Xia’s eyes flashed, and she nodded in strong agreement.
“Worthy of your obsession.”
“Naturally.” Chang Xi still had that arrogant demeanor.
Zhou Shiqing listened to Chang Xi’s bold words in a half-understanding way. After a while, he suddenly asked: “How did you determine that I’m the one who dies with an intact body?”
After hearing this, Xuan Xia couldn’t help but raise her hand and press her brow tail.
Chang Xi also sneered. “Such a simple question, and you still need to ask? The little lady likes you so much, what are you pretending to be dumb for.”
“…” Zhou Shiqing fell silent.
He was probably still thinking about how Shi Mei’s liking for him related to whether he would have an intact body.
And speaking of the devil, the devil arrives.
The next second, Shi Mei walked out from the kitchen.
This time, she said to Xuan Xia and the others: “It’s very late, time to sleep.”
Is it bedtime already?
Xuan Xia and the others simultaneously looked toward the window. Outside was indeed pitch black, the nearby neighbors’ lights that could previously be glimpsed were now all extinguished.
The time flow in this world is really fast.
Shi Mei continued: “My house is small, only one bedroom, so you might have to make do with ground mats.”
Xuan Xia said: “No problem.”
Shi Mei naturally looked at Zhou Shiqing again, smiling slightly at him: “Otherwise, you sleep in the bedroom, and I can ground mat with them.”
Zhou Shiqing: “…”
Xuan Xia & Chang Xi: “…………”
She really shows blatant favoritism.
For this, Chang Xi heavily huffed.
Zhou Shiqing’s face darkened, and he flatly refused. “No need, you sleep by yourself.”
Shi Mei wanted to say something more, but Xuan Xia followed up: “This is your house, of course the host sleeps on the bed, we guests can ground mat.”
“But…”
“I think so too.” Chang Xi added: “Xuan Xia and I are guests. But if you as the host insist on company, you can invite him to ground mat in your bedroom.”
Zhou Shiqing’s face darkened even more.
Where did this annoying woman come from?
But fortunately, Xuan Xia wasn’t as malicious as Chang Xi; she protected Zhou Shiqing.
Combined with Zhou Shiqing’s own wishes, Shi Mei had no choice but to let the three of them ground mat in the house while she returned to the bedroom to sleep.
There was a large ground carpet in the house, and Shi Mei brought over a few more quilts. The three made do.
After bidding Shi Mei good night and she returned to the bedroom, Chang Xi asked Xuan Xia: “Really sleeping?”
Xuan Xia said: “Let’s try.”
Chang Xi stopped talking.
The room became quiet due to the silence, truly feeling like the dead of night.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shiqing’s voice suddenly rang out: “What exactly is this place?”
And the question he asked before still hadn’t gotten an answer.
“It’s a long story, we’ll find time to explain to you when it’s light.” Xuan Xia’s voice was weary, as if she was about to fall asleep.
Zhou Shiqing didn’t continue speaking.
After another unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was slowly opened.
The sound of the door opening was very faint, revealing the other party’s caution, but since the three on the ground mats weren’t actually asleep, this slight noise was all heard.
Everyone’s spirits suddenly became very alert, but no one made a sound, quietly waiting for something.
As if confirmed, light footsteps followed.
Xuan Xia slightly opened her eyes a crack. After adapting to the darkness, she saw a slender figure slowly coming around, finally squatting beside Zhou Shiqing.
Judging by the silhouette, it should be Shi Mei.
At this moment, Shi Mei, who had sneaked over in the dark to Zhou Shiqing’s side, slowly leaned down close to him.
At this point, not to mention Zhou Shiqing, Xuan Xia also grew tense, considering whether to pretend to wake up or just take action.
But before she could decide, Shi Mei suddenly let out a soft laugh.
That laugh seemed like she tried hard to hold it back, but ultimately failed and let it slip out.
In this darkness, it was somewhat eerie.
After laughing, Shi Mei seemed satisfied, quickly stood up, and returned to the bedroom.
Once everything returned to calm, Chang Xi’s voice softly came: “She super loves him.”
