Chapter 214 Jiang Xinli, gone missing?!

The next day.

When Jiang Xinli woke up, Ye Kuo had already gone downstairs to help prepare supplies.

After she finished washing up, she had just reached the top of the stairs when a long, slender leg suddenly blocked her way.

Xuan Ying, dressed in an exquisite and luxurious black outfit, leaned lazily against the stairwell with his arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.

"You damn viper, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Jiang Xinli slapped his leg. "Take it."

Xuan Ying obediently pulled back his long legs and leaned towards her with his tall and straight figure. "Silly girl, you were too loud last night. I couldn't sleep all night."

The man's long, icy blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

A wisp of air, carrying a faint, crisp ocean scent, seeped into Jiang Xinli's nostrils.

She glanced at him, feigning composure, and asked, "So?"

Xuan Ying's lips curled into a smile, and she said in a low, husky voice, "Shouldn't you make it up to your husband?"

"Compensation?" Jiang Xinli couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "When it's your turn, will others have to compensate you?"

“I’m your husband, unlike them.” Xuan Ying said arrogantly, and with a big hand, he pulled the person into his arms. “Silly girl, I’ve said it before, what he has, I want to have too.”

"Him?" Jiang Xinli was stunned for a second, then realized what she meant and turned her head away. "Childish."

"Give me a kiss?"

"No kiss."

"Then I'll kiss you."

The man leaned down, gently pinched her chin, gave her a light kiss, smiled with satisfaction, picked her up, and walked downstairs.

Jiang Xinli struggled to get down, saying, "I can walk by myself."

The man curled his lips into a smile and said coldly, "No, you can't."

Jiang Xinli: “.”

The two arrived in the living room, just as Ye Kuo and Yue Huayin came out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing Jiang Xinli in Xuan Ying's arms, Ye Kuo's gaze faltered slightly, but he quickly smiled gently, "Mistress, breakfast is ready. Yuehua Yin personally taught me how to make it."

"Okay, thank you, little leopard." Jiang Xinli broke free from Xuan Ying's embrace.

"Let's go see what good food we have." She reached out and took Ye Kuo's hand when a large, cold hand grabbed her.

Xuan Ying glanced coldly at Ye Kuo and sneered, "Our family is really getting more and more dramatic."

"Xuanying, stop being sarcastic." Ye Kuo's expression turned serious. "When it comes to acting, I'm no match for you."

"Little leopard, ignore him." Jiang Xinli reached out and scratched Ye Kuo's palm, then asked Xuan Ying, "Isn't it a good thing that Ye Kuo was able to return to human form ahead of schedule?"

"That's a good thing. But why did it have to recover during my sleep of all times?" Xuan Ying glanced meaningfully at Ye Kuo.

"You're a double standard snake, you're no better—" Hua Xi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, patted Ye Kuo on the shoulder, "Brother Leopard, this time, I'm on your side!"

"Little peacock, don't you want your feathers anymore?" Xuan Ying scoffed.

Hua Xi retorted, "You dead viper, don't you want your scales anymore?"

Yuehua Yin glanced calmly at the three of them and chuckled softly:
"We're leaving for the Stargate soon. Are you sure you want to waste time here?"

"Have you forgotten the family rules set by the matriarch?"

“Exactly!” Jiang Xinli shook off Xuan Ying’s hand, stood next to Yue Huayin, and smiled, “Yue Huayin understands me best!”

[Lili, is that so?] Sheng Tianze's inner voice suddenly came from behind him.

Jiang Xinli was startled and turned her head.

Her eyes met the man's dangerously narrowed, deep golden eyes.

[So, the person who understands Lili best is Yuehua Yin?]
Jiang Xinli: [Aze, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart.]
Jiang Xinli: [The person who understands me best is, of course, you.]
Sheng Tianze: [Really?]
Jiang Xinli: [Mm.]
The man's lips curled up slightly.

Jiang Xinli's lips drooped slightly.

This morning, it feels like a kindergarten teacher is constantly coaxing and comforting children.
"Mistress, you two, why are you exchanging glances again?" Hua Xi's feathers bristled as she looked at Sheng Tianze with suspicion, then at Jiang Xinli. "You two, could it be that you've been bound to some kind of mind-reading ability?"

Jiang Xinli touched her nose guiltily, "How could that be?"

Sheng Tianze smiled and said, "Is it possible that Lili and I are telepathically connected, and can understand each other with just a glance?"

"Sheng Tianze—" Hua Xi glared at him angrily, then glared at Xuan Ying, "You two are really shameless now!"

Xuan Ying scoffed, "What's the point of having a face? Just have Little Silly Pear."

Jiang Xinli stared in disbelief. "Xuanying, how much did you drink so early in the morning?" Xuanying smiled. "Wine?"

Jiang Xinli said seriously, "No, it's oily."

Xuanying: “.”

finish breakfast.

The group of six left home.

As usual, Sheng Tianze put the house into his spatial ring.

Jiang Xinli suddenly realized, "Where's Xiaobai?"

“The mistress is with me.” Ye Kuo shook the cage in his hand.

Sheng Tianze narrowed his golden eyes and gave the rabbit in the cage a cold glance.

"It seems the Crown Prince has suddenly become a little hostile towards Xiaobai?" Yuehua Yin leaned closer.

Sheng Tianze's eyes darkened. "Just a rabbit."

"Really?" Yuehua Yin glanced at Jiang Xinli, who was holding the rabbit in her arms, and clicked her tongue. "That's right. With the treatment Xiaobai receives, not to mention the Crown Prince being jealous, even I can't stand it."

The truth about the Holy Emperor's favor is kept very secret.

“Xinli—” Xuexi walked over with several beastmen and Xue Qianxun.

"Xinli, good morning~" Xue Qianxun had a bright and handsome smile on his face, and the three fluffy snow fox tails behind him swayed gently at Jiang Xinli.

"Good morning, Xuexi; good morning, Xue Qianxun." Jiang Xinli smiled politely, rubbed the rabbit's ears, and put it back in its cage.
"Shall we set off?"

"it is good."

The group began to quickly head towards the stargate, following the map on the quantum computer.

The closer you get to the star gate, the more flowers, plants, and trees become visible to the naked eye.

The signal on the quantum computer gradually weakened.

Gradually, the fog became thicker and thicker.

Soon, a solitary, futuristic-style silver building appeared before everyone.

The building appears to be engraved with ancient runes, or adorned with decorations belonging to some kind of high-tech civilization.

Jiang Xinli asked in surprise, "This is the Misty Star Gate?"

There were no puppet corpses, and no mutated beasts.

This made her feel relieved.

However, this fantastical yet sci-fi feeling feels strangely familiar.
"It should be. After all, Misty Star is just a beginner's training ground. Star Gate was originally used for spacetime teleportation." Sheng Tianze hugged her tighter. "Lili, hold me tight."

"kindness."

Yuehua Yin called out, "The quantum computer signal here has completely disappeared. There's a high probability that there's some kind of restriction. Everyone should be as careful as possible."

"it is good."

As the group walked to the building entrance, the personal computers on their wrists automatically lit up.

The next second, with a creaking mechanical sound, the door opened.

What comes into view is a wide passageway that seems to have no end.

The group, on high alert, filed in.

Upon entering the house, Jiang Xinli subconsciously looked up and immediately held her breath.

Above the dome, there was an endless, vast, and dazzling starry sky!
The floor beneath their feet turned transparent in an instant.

Countless nebulae flowed slowly beneath my feet.

Just as she was about to ask, "Splash—"

A gust of wind swept in, and the starlight was extinguished instantly.

Suddenly, Sheng Tianze felt empty in his arms.

"Pear!"

He reached out to grab it, but only grasped a wisp of dissipating light.
