Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 457 is waiting for you here.

"..." Bai Lingshan was also helpless, so she took out more than a dozen magic crystals from her pocket. "I made it come back. It's too dangerous for it to be outside in its current state. Let it go after it grows new skin and flesh in ten days."

Dark-faced A-Ci looked puzzled: "Miss A-Ruo, why do you care about it?"

"Yeah, it's the kind of thing that's going to cause you trouble!"

“This…” Bai Lingshan lowered her eyes slightly.

Actually, she couldn't explain it clearly. Maybe she didn't want people she knew to encounter dangers she was aware of. "There's no particular reason. Just let it stay here for ten days. It will be obedient."

"Yes, yes," the little skull peeked out, "I'll be very good and I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

"..."

After a moment, the black-and-white face relaxed its gaze that had been fixed on it.

"Alright, if Miss Aruo lets you stay here, then you should stay here obediently, otherwise!"

"Otherwise, I'll give my head to your store as a mascot!"

Wow, it replied pretty quickly; no one had time to react.

Looking at the black and white faces again, only helplessness remained on their faces.

“Miss Aruo, you are really not her. If it were her, she would just turn around and leave.”

"Indeed, you are too soft-hearted."

Suddenly, Bai Lingshan was stunned when she heard them mention Ayun, who looked like her.

"I am definitely not her."

But as for other things, she really has no right to comment.

"You can ask me for the magic crystals it uses for lodging and meals. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay! You should rest first!"

"Ah."

As she was about to go up the steps, she glanced back at the skeleton who was staring at her blankly. The skeleton was raising one hand and swinging it back and forth towards her.

Upon ascending to the second floor and entering Room No. 1, the mirror-like objections immediately came into view.

"Why did that thing come back? Did it say anything to you on the way?"

Bai Lingshan walked back to the table, picked up the umbrella on it, and released the food hidden inside.

"I didn't say anything, I just felt sorry for it because it was all alone and helpless."

"is it?"

At this moment, the dark blue oil-paper umbrella transformed into a stream of light and re-condensed in its hand. Under everyone's gaze, it slunk away into the Book of Featherfall, which had not yet appeared to greet it.

"The time here is different from the outside time, so we don't know when they will arrive."

Mirror Shadow sat back down on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the cuff of her sleeve. "Don't worry about that, we have plenty of time to wait for them."

"…Too."

……

Human Realm, Huayang City.

The night was peaceful, and the moon was half-rising.

In a luxuriously decorated living room in a residential area, Wang Zinong sat with his legs crossed, repeatedly examining a ring in his hand that was set with a six-pointed star gemstone.

Despite its mediocre workmanship and odd design, it shines even brighter under the magnificent and dazzling rhinestone chandelier.

Then put it on your finger.

He tried on each of his five fingers one by one, but only his thinnest little finger could fit.

"No wonder she's a young girl, her fingers are so slender."

In front of him stood a man with rough, dark skin, a buzz cut, and wearing a fur coat.

The man had a smile on his lips, as if waiting for him to inspect the goods.

"Boss... can I get my prize money now?"

Wang Zinong glanced at him out of the corner of his eye while looking at the ring, and continued to examine the ring.

In the living room, the koi in the cylindrical aquarium swam occasionally, but there was no other sound. The man dared not ask anything more and could only wait for time to slowly pass. After more than ten minutes, the living room door finally opened.

Miao Qi, Wang Zirui, and Tui Riyao entered one after another, followed by two guys in white casual clothes. One looked fierce, while the other looked adorable.

"Brother Hao ran into an acquaintance and they started chatting. He'll be coming in in a bit."

Wang Zinong did not reply, but simply handed the ring to Wang Zirui.

"Zirui, do you think this ring is real?"

Wang Zirui's expression suddenly turned ugly. "You really brought it?"

Miao Qi wanted to join in, but being labeled a high-risk individual who was "physically present in the demon-hunting group but mentally preoccupied with Bai Lingshan," Tui Riyao, who was beside him, pulled him back.

"What? Why are you pulling your seventh brother?"

"You are not allowed to come near."

"If we don't want to get close, then we won't get close."

After that, everyone's attention turned to the man who went to run the errand.

Miao Qi crossed her arms, her face full of suspicion: "She herself said she was the real person? And she even gave you the ring?"

The man nodded repeatedly.

“I haven’t seen her, but my accomplice who went with me has, and he’s very sure!”

The fierce-looking man sat down on the sofa and carefully picked up the teacup on the table. "I remember there were four of us who went there together, right? How come you're the only one who came back?"

The man glanced around haphazardly, a slightly lewd look on his face. "They...they didn't want to come. They wanted me to collect the bonus first and then give it to them?"

Wang Zinong, sitting on the other side of the sofa, squinted, as if he had discovered something in his eyes.

"Oh, is that so? Lou Xiaojing, right? We told you before that the bonus is calculated based on the total number of people who arrive at the end. All four of you will have to come back to receive the full amount. Since they don't want it, just take yours."

Lou Xiaojing froze, her clenched fist slowly tightening. "Then I took her ring back! Aren't you going to charge me extra?"

Wang Zinong's lips curled into a smirk, his face showing only disgust: "A ring? If it really were her, could you even get her ring?"

"What?" Lou Xiaojing felt humiliated like never before. He considered himself the king of bounty missions. "She's amazing! But I'm not bad either! I outwitted and outfought her, and in the end, she still begged for mercy and gave it to me!"

"Oh?" Wang Zinong raised his hand and pursed his lips. If they hadn't sparred with her, they would have almost believed these lies.

At that moment, the living room door opened again.

Sun Hao, dressed in gray casual clothes, walked in with steady steps. He glanced at everyone before placing the Soul-Slaying Blade at his waist on the locker.

"Brother Hao!"

Everyone spoke in unison, while Sun Hao merely nodded.

Wang Zinong stopped arguing and threw a bundle of RMB at Lou Xiaojing.

"Take it and get out of here!"

Feeling the thickness, Lou Xiaojing frowned. "Only this much? Is the holder's ring so worthless?"

"Ten thousand is already a good amount; be careful you don't end up not leaving this door."

Wang Zinong almost cursed him, but Tui Riyao beat him to it.

"Yeah, take it and leave quickly. If we change our minds later, you won't be able to take the money."

it is good……

With their superior numbers and power, Lou Xiaojing, no matter how resentful, dared not act arrogantly on their turf.

"Thank you, boss."

As the fierce look in Lou Xiaojing's eyes disappeared, she left with the meager prize money.

The living room fell silent for a moment before Wang Zinong's sarcastic voice rang out.

"So worthless? Does having a ring or not make any difference to her?"

The battle in front of the clock tower was still vivid in Lou Xiaojing's mind, yet he still dared to use the ring to demand an even higher reward.

Wang Zirui, who had remained silent, had a somber expression, his mind filled with the incident that had occurred with Bai Lingshan in the Ming District of Liuhuayuan.
