C38 (1/2)

When I woke up, I was lying on my little pink bed. Her Majesty had arranged my room for me, and she thought that I was always dressed in dark colors. In Her Majesty's words, I was ”even older than I am,” so she had to make it pink for me.

The main point of my visit was to leave her alone, considering that I would not be home more than a few days a year, and that Her Majesty would be happy to do so.

”July, are you awake yet?” The empress dowager knocked lightly on the door.

This wasn't her style at all. She would rush in directly and pull back my blanket before shouting, ”Zhang Qi, if you don't wake up now, you won't be able to have breakfast!”

”Awake, Empress Dowager.” Maybe she thought I was fake yesterday.

Hearing me call her that, Her Majesty seemed to be frightened outside. I didn't know what she kicked at, but the crashing sounds made me laugh. This little old lady, the older she is, the more adorable she is.

After getting up from the bed, I ran out. Her Majesty was sitting on the sofa outside the living room with a messy expression on her face. When she saw me come out, she quickly stood up.

At this time, my dad came out from the kitchen with a bowl of noodles. ”July, come and try out my dad's cooking skills. I specifically learned it for you. Longevity noodles.”

I took the bowl from my father. The noodles weren't much, and my father knew I never liked noodles.

”Do you see that? This is the boss.” My father used his chopsticks to point at me. ”Eat the eggs first, then you need to eat the noodles in one go. Don't break them. Break the unlucky ones.”

I first tasted the egg, is my favorite soft-boiled egg, then picked up the head my father pointed to for me, seriously eat.

It tasted good, mainly because my dad made it himself.

I only ate a few bites, but I feel glad that something doesn't seem right. Did something go wrong with my eyes? Why did it seem like everything around him was slowly fading?

I was afraid that my face would break and I wouldn't dare to rub my eyes, but in a few seconds, everything turned black and white!

My father and Her Majesty stood together with a gentle smile before blending into the blurry black and white world. I mechanically ate the noodles and entered the void …

”AHH!” My heart felt like it was being pulled and squeezed.

”You woke up pretty quickly. How did you know it was a dream?”

It was the Spirit King. It seems like senior brother Zuo Ming isn't his target, his target is only me after all.

We are now in a room that looks very classical. It is the boudoir of the ancient ladies. I lay on the bed, and the Ghost King sat on a chair in front of the bed.

I feel that just lying down is enough to make me lose my momentum.

I didn't recognize it as a dream, or rather I didn't want it to be a dream. Unknowingly, I had already formed a habit. As long as I woke up, I would first check to see if the tree branches and jade talismans were still there.

When his soul left his body, the tree branches and jade talismans had all left his body along with his soul.

And when I woke up in my room, they were all gone. Even if someone took the jade, the branch wouldn't. Only Song Nan and I can touch the branches.

”Is it because of longevity noodles? You know you're short, so longevity noodles are the biggest irony? ” He raised his eyebrows and smiled sinisterly. As expected, he was the one who wanted to mock me in his dream. I remember Min Hao saying that I can only live to 27 years old, is that true?

Instead of answering his question, I asked him, ”What's with your face? Why did you become Song Nan's appearance? ”

”Song Nan?” The Spirit King was slightly surprised, ”He really knows how to give himself a name, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what his name is.”

Wasn't Song Nan his name?
