Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs

Chapter 389 The Bride Sacrificed to the Mountain God 12

"Butler Zhong, we have come here to pay our respects to the renowned Island Master. We wonder when we might have the honor of meeting him?"

Lin Shu's words immediately drew Butler Zhong's attention.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and his tone was no longer as gentle as when he was talking to Xi Yao.

"Our island lord is extremely busy. If he has to personally receive every guest, then he might as well just entertain you all day long."

Butler Zhong became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be stirring with barely suppressed rage.

But when he caught a glimpse of Xi Yao enjoying her meal out of the corner of his eye, he restrained himself.

However, that gaze made Lin Shu tremble with fear, and all the words stuck in his throat. He dared not ask any more questions.

He strongly suspects that the system has misclassified this copy.

Big Hammer tried to speak, but Scarface grabbed him and held him down.

Saying anything now is suicidal.

This NPC gave him a terrifying feeling; even just a glance sent chills down his spine.

Everyone was on edge, except for Xi Yao, who ate with relish.

She even felt thirsty and asked someone to bring her another pot of hot tea.

Then Butler Zhong, all smiles, had it delivered.

Scarface and the others kept changing their expressions as they looked at Xi Yao.

"Dear guests."

The moment Butler Zhong's gaze left Xi Yao, it turned gloomy.

"Please stay in your rooms at night and don't wander around. Also..."

He put on a smile and continued, "Our future island lord's wife has just arrived on the island. If you happen to meet her, please treat her with courtesy."

Also, our wife loves roses, especially for weddings, so the whole island is planted with roses.

The island owner said that if you can find roses within the next five days, he will be willing to meet with you.

Scarface looked utterly astonished. "The future island lord's wife?"

When did this NPC appear?

Lin Shu, no longer caring about his fear, looked at Butler Zhong and asked, "Excuse me, where is this future island lord's wife?"

Butler Zhong did not answer.

Xi Yao paused for a moment.

If the island owner is her husband, then wouldn't she be the future island owner's wife?

Also, she really liked the idea of a wedding venue filled with roses.

Yan Jin bought an island for her, planted it with roses, and held their wedding there.

Xi Yao lowered her head and ate her lamb leg, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Sure enough, her husband subconsciously remembered her preferences.

Steward Zhong quickly left with his maid.

Apart from Xi Yao and Jun Yi eating, everyone else spent points to have Da Chui and Ba Ge collect the food.

They dared not eat it because Li Xue's death was too tragic.

"Xi Yao, why does Butler Zhong, this NPC, treat you so differently?"

Having just solved the food problem, Lin Shu couldn't help but speak up.

Xi Yao wiped her hands with a wet wipe, then casually looked up. "Maybe it's because I'm pretty, and the island lord took a liking to me and wants to marry me as his future wife?"

"Pfft~"

Mo Wenwen immediately covered her mouth and quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I just thought you were interesting and couldn't help myself."

This young lady is so carefree; what time of day is it for her to still be joking?

If she really is that island owner's wife, then wouldn't she become an NPC?

Lin Shu's face darkened after hearing this.

"Is this the time for jokes?" He looked at us coldly. "We can't even leave the island lord's mansion, how are we supposed to find Rose? If we can't find her, we won't see the island lord, and then we're all doomed!"

"That means you guys are finished, but that doesn't mean I am."

As Xi Yao spoke, she slowly stood up. "I'm going upstairs. Don't disturb me."

"elder sister……"

Junyi stood up, her face filled with worry.

Xi Yao shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

But Scarface and Jeremy Lin refused to release him.

"You'll stay on the first floor tonight, which is perfect for you and Mo Wenwen. Don't go upstairs."

The one speaking is Scarface.

He also sensed something was off about the woman in front of him and thought it best to have someone nearby to observe her.

When Mo Wenwen heard about going back to her room, her face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Xi Yao expectantly.

Li Xue died in the room; the scene was too horrible. It would have been much better if someone had slept with her.

"Get out of the way." Xi Yao lifted her eyelids to look at the giant hammer blocking her way. "Otherwise, don't blame me if you die."

Big Hammer, a massive wall of flesh, blocked the stairwell and said rigidly, "Scarface said you're to stay downstairs."

"Don't go too far!"

Junyi walked over and pushed the sledgehammer, causing it to stumble.

"My sister has been sleeping upstairs from the beginning. If we switch rooms at the last minute, who knows what might happen?"

His words surprised everyone.

But Jeremy Lin and Scarface persisted.

Xi Yao narrowed her eyes, just as she was about to make a move, when the door opened again.

Butler Zhong left but returned.

"What are you doing?"

His eyes were now only white, staring intently at the three men, including Scarface.

The lanterns and candles in the room began to flicker, and a chilling wind blew in gusts.

Scarface's eyelids twitched, and he pulled Hammer aside to make way.

Lin Shu was also startled and unconsciously stepped aside.

Then they watched as Xi Yao went upstairs.

Xi Yao returned to the door, pushed it open, and stepped inside. In an instant, her view changed.

The room transformed into the wilderness.

This is the mountain god temple.

[Host, host, you're finally back!]

The sound of 996 brought Xi Yao back to her senses.

"996, what's going on?"

The little fat 996's wings flapped so fast they left afterimages.

[Host, you disappeared after I came out of the dark room. I've searched everywhere for you, but I can't find you, and I can't leave the mountain god temple.]

996 felt wronged; the boss took away the host, leaving it all behind.

People clerk?

Xi Yao found a futon to sit on, looked at the withdrawn little chubby bird, smiled, and said, "Come on, tell me what happened? What happened here?"

[Host, I spent most of the day in the dark room, and when I came out again, you had disappeared from the hot spring, and I couldn't find you.]

[Then I started researching, but it seemed like something was blocking me; I couldn't find anything. Nearly three days have passed, and then you suddenly reappeared, host.]

She even changed her clothes.

"Wait a minute." Xi Yao suddenly sat up straight, looking at 996 with disbelief. "How much time did you say has passed?"

[Host, three days... three days have passed.]

996 looked at its host with a puzzled expression.

[Host, what's wrong? Why are you so shocked?]

Xi Yao wiped her face. "I wasn't even inside for a day, and you're telling me three days have passed here? How can I not be shocked?"

The shift to 996 has shocked many.

[Host, where did you go? Why is there a time difference?]

Xi Yao recounted what happened inside the dungeon.

The entire system was stunned when they heard the 996 work schedule.

It has never encountered such a situation before.

The two men, each with their own power, looked at each other in bewilderment, speechless.
