Chapter 3 (1/2)

3 – Transmigration, Meeting 21 (III)

After Xue Qilin declared his ident.i.ty according to Qi Guiyuan's arrangement, the people of the Merak Palace were visibly stunned.

In fact, Xue Qilin felt that this was understandable. She, a loli – at least in appearance, boasted in front of them that she was their Young Ancestor. That is, their master's master's master's… peer. Who wouldn't be shocked by that? If it hadn't been for Qi Guiyuan's jade pendant in her hand, the other party might have labeled her as a lunatic and thrown her out of the mountain.

But when they questioned Xue Qilin half skeptically, they got out of hand with their questions. These questions were of a dazzling variety, not losing out to modern day various surcharges. Although a large majority of the questions were serious, but as every group had odd people, some weird questions were also thrown into the mix.

Faced with these strange questions, which were annoying to answer one by one, much less when they came in a flurry, Xue Qilin disgracefully fell to the ground and pretended to fall asleep.

But, as the saying went, one may get off today but not tomorrow…

“Young Ancestor, did you sleep well?”

“What? I just laid in bed for less than fifteen minutes, beautiful lady!”

Seeing the beautiful girl with a big smile on her face, Xue Qilin made a long face. She managed to escape from the hail of questions with great difficulty. But after laying in bed in a room arranged for her in the Merak Palace for less than fifteen minutes, the Merak Palace's Palace Master came to bother her.

Although, she came alone, presumably not wanting to let herself fall into a predicament again. But after a moment, Xue Qilin thought – this la.s.s seems to have a screw loose.

Qi Qiqi's face suddenly went red.

What's wrong with her? Xue Qilin looked suspiciously at the other party.

As if she felt her gaze, Qi Qiqi coughed and said: “I'm not being bashful because you called me beautiful, okay?”

Uh, is she having a meltdown? Xue Qilin's head, which was propped by her hands, suddenly jerked down.

“That was just a greeting.” Although that was true, but Qi Qiqi was indeed a rare beauty.

When they first met, because her attention was divided over many people, Xue Qilin didn't pay much attention to Qi Qiqi. But now that they were alone, it was no longer possible to ignore Qi Qiqi's blazing existence.

She was clearly only 16 years old, yet it was very difficult to spot any childishness on her face. Her facial features were exquisite. However, if you looked at her features separately, they could be said to be very ordinary, without anything distinguis.h.i.+ng. Yet because of this, these ordinary features a.s.sembled together in the right way gave rise to an incredible beauty without any blemishes. In other words, hers was a universal beauty.

The only thing unique about her might be her eyes. The dazzling bright red was hard to ignore. Her eyes were uniquely bright red, deep, and clear, as if there was a flame brewing in them.

Even though her black hair was very common in terms of color, but the gloss of her long, cloud-like black hair made it remarkably beautiful and fascinating. Well, it resembled ink, not only in terms of color, but also in terms of texture… Her hair looked like a black waterfall cascading over her shoulders.

“Young Ancestor?”

“Oh, um… What's up?” Qi Qiqi's gentle call brought Xue Qilin back to her senses.

In order to hide her embarra.s.sment, she deliberately spoke in a slightly impatient tone: “That said, Seven Seven-seven… What's wrong?”

The corners of Qi Qiqi's eyes twitched, looking like she was suppressing something: “My name isn't Seven Seven-seven.”

“Well, I know. I'm not doing it on purpose… My p.r.o.nunciation is unclear to begin with, and coupled with my childish voice, I have no choice but to p.r.o.nounce your name as Seven Seven-seven.” Xue Qilin felt that it was really troublesome arguing with the other party about this, so she simply gave her the reason why. Of course, in retrospect, it may have saved a lot of unnecessary trouble and time if she had done so right from the start. But who knew that it would be so fun seeing the other party argue, and tease her at first.

“Is, is that so… I'm sorry, Young Ancestor, I was wrong.” Qi Qiqi was clearly a very frank person. After hearing Xue Qilin's explanation, she bowed her head and apologized embarra.s.sedly.

“It's no big deal, I don't blame you.”

“In that case, Young Ancestor… I have something I need your help with.”

“What is it?” Xue Qilin looked at her, a little surprised.
