Chapter 248 - There’s You, Why Do I Need to Be Useful? (2/2)
As soon as her feet landed, the strong arm around her waist was retracted. Gong Moran’s deep voice reverberated inside the dark secret passage walls, “Girl, follow me.”
But when Gong Moran only took two steps forward, Nan Xun slammed into him. She grabbed his big palm and said pitifully, “My Lord, it’s so dark here, I can’t see the road, it’s scary.”
The moment Gong Moran’s big palm was seized by Nan Xun, his body went absolutely stiff.
Nan Xun stubbornly held his hand, before finally putting both of her hands together, clenching that big palm tightly.
Gong Moran sighed helplessly, “You don’t need to hold it so tightly, this Lord is holding you.”
Nan Xun smiled, and then let go of one hand, leaving her left hand to catch his.
Gong Moran really took her hand with him as he walked forward slowly.
Maybe because he was afraid that Nan Xun couldn’t see clearly and then fall down or something, Gong Moran walked very slowly. The two of them wasted quite a long time to walk down the short dark path.
When they turned around the corner, Nan Xun’s eyes suddenly filled with light.
Nan Xun shouted loudly, her two eyes widened as she ran and jumped like a rabbit.
Gong Moran slightly drooped his gaze, looking at his own neglected, lonely big palm. A strange feeling was birthed in his heart.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at the little girl whose eyes were sparkling with excitement in front of him. His thin lips lifted faintly, and a thread of a smile flitted in his eyes.
Nan Xun was really excited ah.
It was a dark passage just now, but she actually found such a big hall as soon as she turned the corner!
There were countless night pearls the size of a fist inlaid on the walls on the left and right sides. Those moss green lights flocked together to illuminate this gorgeous hall.
There were countless gold and silver treasures stacked in the middle of the hall. In addition, there were also treasures such as jade ruyi, coral, jadeite sculpture, agate, gems etc. Just casually taking out one thing from these heaps, it can be seen that all were priceless treasures ah! Treasures!
Under the faint green light of night-luminescent pearls, these darlings reflected light of various colors. It painted a dazzling world that can blind a person’s eyes.
Nan Xun excitedly told Little Eight, “If you can move every treasure in here to your star space, then give it a shot!”
Little Eight ‘tsk’ and said indifferently, “These things are what mortals said as treasures, do you think these things can attract this grandpa’s eyes? What this grandpa values as rarities are magic weapons, sacred tools, and divine pills. These things? Ha.”
Nan Xun curled her lips, “You don’t like but I like ah, I’m a vulgar person and I’m happy oh~”
Little Eight, “Hmph, these treasures aren’t yours no matter how good they are, what are you happy for?”
Hearing this, the drool that almost slipped out of her mouth was sucked back up. She jumped to Gong Moran, grabbed his arm with a smile, shaking it twice. Her voice unconsciously brought a soft, coquettish tone, “My Lord, can you give me a few treasures from here?”
Gong Moran flicked his finger on her forehead, saying, “Why do you think this Lord opened the secret path in front of you and brought you here personally? No matter how much you eat, this Lord can support you. If you like any treasures from here, feel free to get it.”
Nan Xun stared at him in a daze before she suddenly wailed, barging into his bosom and hugged his waist tightly.
Gong Moran frowned slightly, and when he was about to push her away, Nan Xun hugged him tighter, howling miserably, “My Lord, you’re so kind to me! My parents died early. Since their death, no one has treated me so well, especially how they despised me for being a rice bucket! My Lord, my Lord, I really, really like you, you’re like my reborn parents ah!”
Gong Moran: …
As such, he just retracted the hand that was about to push Nan Xun away. After a while, he stretched it again and patted her back lightly.
