Chapter 69: Ancient Lamp (1/2)

Leaving behind two guards to face chaos in the wind. Alliance Head ah, we definitely won’t blab. But…

The two shared a gaze, then without consulting each other, simultaneously turned to look towards a certain person that was standing in the courtyard.

His facial color seemed a bit ugly. Soon after, he followed after Alliance Head da ren and headed off into the distance.

“In spring, let a hundred fresh flowers bloom faster, as I hold hands with my little sister… little sister’s bashful face, caused big brother’s heart to race…” Tang Doudou was extremely happy as she strolled on the street. As she sung a random little song, she jumped here and there to look at this and that. Flitting around everywhere, she felt extremely free!

This was the first time she had gone out alone for a stroll after coming to this damned place!

As she took in the sights of vendor stalls filled with little glittery objects lining the streets and the sounds of all sorts of sell pitches being cried out in midst of the racket, Tang Doudou felt as if she had returned to the time when she vacationed in ancient cities. However, that time wasn’t half as lively as the real thing!

And many things there were even counterfeits. She remembered the one time she went to an ancient city to buy a souvenir and ended up being sweet talked by the vendor so much she spent a ton of money. However, after she brought the item home someone recognized it as a counterfeit. It angered her to the point she could barely eat for days. In the end, in a fit of anger, she threw that item to a corner to gather dust.

Even thinking about it now still made her angry. Ever since that incident, whenever she went on vacation she never bought any souvenirs. This lasted all the way until right before she transmigrated, when she saw that lamp!

It was an ancient old lamp being carried by an old grannie. It was exceptionally elaborate, yet had a very simple and unadorned aura that caught her eye. It seemed to even carry some sort of demonic power; after attracting her line of sight over, she was unable to shift it away.

Then, that old grannie asked her if she liked this lamp. It seemed she had nodded dumbly. When she recalled that event now, it felt like she had been bewitched. Afterwards, that old grannie just asked her if she wanted to buy it or not. If it was her usual self, she would have definitely rejected the offer. However, this memory was strangely fuzzy in her head. All she remembered was that she spent a sum of money to buy that lamp before returning to the hotel to play for a while. Then, she went to sleep when she felt drowsiness hit her.

Who would have expected that when she woke up she had ended up in Rutaceae Pavilion? Afterwards was the start of her miserable life.

You want to ask why Tang Doudou would suddenly recall this matter?

Right now, her gaze was fixated on a particular vendor’s stall on the opposite street. That stall was simple and crude, and everything being sold were odd little toys. But amidst these little toys was a very exquisite and palm-sized lamp!

After seeing that lamp, Tang Doudou’s eyes lit up so much they had turned into light bulbs. Five steps turned into one as she hastily threw herself towards that stall and stared tenaciously at that lamp. With trembling hands, she reached out. It was too similar; it was practically identical!

“Hey! What are you doing!?” Just as her hand was about to touch that lamp, a person suddenly appeared from the side and slapped away her hand. “If you’re not going to buy then don’t touch!”

“How much!?” Tang Doudou didn’t look at that person and continued to focus only on that lamp.

“Hah?”

“I’m asking you how much it costs!? Didn’t you hear? How much? I’m buying it!”

Da hell, it’s not too similar. It’s practically that exact lamp! This shape, this size, and those decorative designs… Tang Doudou recalled them all. It was precisely that lamp!

The lamp that she spent a sum of money to buy from that old grannie in front of the hotel!

She didn’t have the time to wonder why it would also appear here. Right now, there was only one thought in her head, which was, she must obtain it!

Tang Doudou had read countless transmigration novels so she knew that there was no way she could have transmigrated for no good reason. There must have been some medium; that’s the normal way of opening the passageways ah!

Not to mention, this lamp is too strange!

She was extremely emotionally moved. Perhaps with this lamp, she could transmigrate back!

She can return to that world with electricity, internet, and snacks!

She doesn’t want to stay in this crappy place half a bit!

“I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear? How much!? I’m buying this lamp!” Tang Doudou became impatient upon seeing that the vendor didn’t say anything after a long time. It couldn’t be that he didn’t want to sell it to her?

“Don’t worry, I have money. Just say a price!”

That person seemed to return to his senses as he muttered, “You really want to buy it?”

“Quit wasting words! Do I look like I’m joking?” Tang Doudou rolled her eyes. “You sure are funny. Could it be that you’re just displaying these items for fun and not for selling?”

“Ahem, no.” That person gave an embarrassed cough. Then, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Tang Doudou curiously lifted her eyes to see what exactly this weird vendor looked like.

Her head had just lifted when she seemed to have bumped into something sharp. Covering her head in pain, she withdrew backward a little. Only then did she see that there was a man clothed in light green standing in front of her. The harmony of his facial features gave people an abnormally good feeling. It was just that there was a frivolous smile hanging off the corners of his mouth that destroyed the entire beauty of his appearance.

Currently, he was using his hand to rub his lower chin as he used a probing gaze to size Tang Doudou up. He seemed pretty curious about this person that wanted to buy the lamp.

Tang Doudou also sized him up. Then, her brows abruptly knitted as she asked in an annoyed tone, “Hey! Are you selling this lamp or not!?”

If he wasn’t selling, she’ll just think of a way to snatch it! In any case, she has already memorized his facial features! There’s no need to worry about not being able to find him.

“Selling! Of course I’m selling!” That person finally retrieved his gaze upon hearing Tang Doudou’s irritated shout and replied with a forced smile.

Tang Doudou nodded. If he was going to sell, that would be the best scenario. Things that can be resolved with money doesn’t cause trouble!

“Then say it, how much?”
