Chapter 1217 - Hes A Devil! (2/2)

Within moments, Cen Xi was following them into the forest. It was a different world inside. A castle made of granite and marble could be seen.

The castle was surrounded by high walls and there were guards at the gate, looking very imposing.

Cen Xi was taken into a room behind the main building. Before Qiao Yanze left, he warned her with a cold gaze. “Don’t run around, I’ll take you away after I’m done with work.”

Without waiting for Cen Xi to say anything, the door was slammed shut.

Cen Xi hugged her knees and sat huddled in the corner. Thinking about what had happened in the past two days, she only felt like she was thrown into the pits of danger.

She was almost captured by desert bandits, almost being buried by quicksand and even exposed herself to a strange man… She had experienced all the things that others may not experience in a lifetime in the past day.

Cen Xi was not a martyr from ancient times, seeking death when she encountered these things. No matter under what circ.u.mstances, it was important for people to be alive, only if one was alive would there be hope.

From last night until now, she had not eaten or drunk anything. Now that her tensed nerves were relaxed slightly, Cen Xi felt hungry and thirsty.

She swallowed and stood up from the ground. As she circled around the room, she could not find anything to eat or drink.

She licked her dry lips. Although she was hungry and thirsty, she still huddled in the corner, curling herself into a ball at the thought of the man’s warning.

An hour went by, two hours went by…

It had already turned dark.

Her stomach was growling and her lips were extremely dry. She thought of all the different kinds of snacks sold in the alley behind her university and she swallowed hard.

No, no, no! She was so hungry she had reached the limit. She would rather die if she was not allowed to eat.

Cen Xi held her stomach that was so hungry it was flat and stood up from the ground, opening the door.

Outside the door was a dark corridor and there was only a street lamp with a yellow glow outside. A few leaves were spinning on the ground. Cen Xi pursed her lips and walked towards the corridor.

After walking some distance, she saw the lights on the main building and could faintly hear melodious music.

It seemed there was a big party going on.

“Hey, why are you standing there?” someone shouted suddenly.

Cen Xi quickly lowered her head.

“Are you the new maid? Why haven’t you changed into your uniform? Quick, go help out at the banquet hall after you’ve changed.”

Cen Xi was taken to a room by a fierce woman to change into a servant’s uniform.

After changing, she went to the main building.

In order to find food as soon as possible, she found a path that led to the main building. When she was reaching the main building, two furtive figures attracted her attention.

It was a little far away and she only had one ear to hear, so she could not hear what they were talking about.

But…

She watched the lips of one of them when he was talking.

A frown marred her features and Cen Xi’s heart was beating hard. She quickly went into the main building and found a tray for wine to hold.

The hall of the main building was full of lights. Everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothing and men and women were talking, laughing and dancing. It was a harmonious atmosphere and no one expected that there would be a life and death crisis waiting for them!
