Chapter Forty-Nine: I Didn't Know That I Was a Guest in My Dream
The bed was really comfortable, and Xiao An was really cheap, so he got into the bed like a thief, covered the quilt, and lay down with peace of mind.
I'm a little tired after coming out for so long, but I'm not sleepy. But for some reason, as soon as she got on this bed, Xiao An's two eyelids began to reach together, and she was going to admire some ice sculptures on the ceiling, but she fell asleep after a while.
This bed is really magical, and it seems that Xiao An's energy will recover in a short time. She wanted to get out of bed and go for a walk somewhere else, but she saw several women dressed as palace ladies coming in from the door at this time, who didn't seem to be very old, and there was a faint shadow of Alyssa between her eyebrows.
When he thought of Alyssa, Xiao An felt sad again. I didn't think about it before, but for some reason since she came to Mexico, since she joined the archaeological team, and since she broke into the Lingxi Country, she seems to have been experiencing these joys and sorrows, and she has also realized the impermanence of life.
When she saw these palace ladies enter the door, she bowed down to her, as if she were their master, and she did not know what to do, so she went to help them, but she heard them say to herself: "Please don't do this, Your Majesty, we are your servants, you don't have to be so good to us." ”
What, Empress? They even call themselves empresses? How can this be? When did I become their empress?
"Girls, you are probably mistaken, I am not your empress, I am just a guest here, and I have always wanted to see your master!" Xiao An said to them politely, feeling very funny in his heart: I, an ordinary citizen of a socialist country, have not been taught to be the master of anyone since I was a child, at most I am already very happy to be someone else's commander at work, and now I want to hand over such a big castle to me? No, An is really ashamed.
But those girls didn't look surprised, as if they thought that Xiao An was the master, and seeing this, she had no choice but to continue: "I'm sorry, I know this is your master's room, I shouldn't just break in." Is it that your master is angry with me, then, as long as you don't kill me, if you want to beat or scold, you can listen to it! ”
"Flutter!"
A few girls were actually happy. Xiao An was even more inexplicable, seeing that they didn't know what to do, he suddenly remembered the bed sheets that had been crumpled by himself, and hurriedly got up to tidy them up, and immediately picked them up when he saw his own hair. Even the dander accidentally left by him should be wiped away with a paper towel as much as possible, for fear that if he leaves a trace of himself, he will be caught by the empress.
"No, no! Let's pack it up! When the girl saw that she was packing up the sheets like a sinner, she immediately went over and stopped her, "We say you are our master, and you are!" Haha, this time we really earned it, and we actually met such a good host! And it's a girl! ”
When the girls said this, Xiao An was even more confused. "Well, girls, could you please make more sense of it? I really don't understand some of them! ”
"Hehehehe, don't worry, master, in fact, things are like this, originally this white castle belonged to our previous master, he was a god in the north, and later lost this castle to his opponent because of the defeat, an evil demon king. And we have been tormented by the evil master for a long time. Later, the greater gods discovered his sin. He was sentenced to death, but the damned Demon King sealed us and the castle before he died. And the way to break this seal is to go into this bedroom and lie down on this bed. ”
"Really? Is it really that simple? Wouldn't anyone be your master? Xiao An felt more and more that these girls were not quite right. What started out as intimacy turned into suspicion of them.
"Of course not, do you think that demon king can be so good to us?" The other girl continued, "We don't know exactly how, because the secret is only known to the Demon King, and he is dead. We've just been watching and praying in the house for thousands of years. Can someone free us from these walls, furniture, and other objects, so that we can be free again. As long as we can come out, even if it is a lifetime of hard work for this new master, we are willing! ”
The girl said a lot, but she still didn't get to the point, but at least you could tell from their words that they weren't lying. Xiao An had no choice but to smile and ask again: "That's right, you all said it well, but you still haven't told me, why am I your master?" How the hell did I get you delivered? Just because I slept in this bed? Isn't that fanciful? ”
"Oh, I'm sorry! It's all because we were so excited that we didn't say everything! I'll be sure to report to you in full this time! Well, while we don't know exactly what the rules are for the Demon King, we do know that it's not just about entering this room and occupying this bed. Over the years, there have been all kinds of people who have entered the castle, and we have seen many of them, and we don't know how many of them can enter this room and lie on this bed. But the strange thing is that each of them melts like ice as soon as they touch this bed, and even if we are conscious, we are no different from dead. Until you came here, not only did you not melt, but you still survived to the present, and even rescued us, so we conclude that you must be the master who is destined to save us! And here, it's up to you to take over! ”
What, what? Are they telling the truth? How is it so unrealistic!
Xiao An is a little blind.
Seeing that Xiao An was still in a state of confusion, several girls knelt down in unison, "The master is above, the slaves and maids are willing to serve you all their lives, where you go, we will go!" ”
Yes? What kind of formation is this?
Obviously, Xiao An can't accept this, at least he is not used to it, "That girl, I like it very much, of course, this place is so good, if I don't like it again, it will be too much to say." But after all, I'm not a god, I can't compare with your previous masters, and I didn't come here to occupy this place, I've been looking for an exit to return to the mortal world, I wonder if you guys know? ”
Xiao An thought that although he didn't find the expected Ice and Snow Queen as planned, it was still very enjoyable to know that such a shocking secret had been hidden here. And the previous owner here was a god, so do these palace ladies also have some magical powers? Maybe you can get some favorable information from their mouths.
So she looked at the girls with expectant eyes.
"Well, forgive us for our incompetence. Although we are also gods and know a little about some spells, we are at a low level after all, so there are many things. Even mortal things are powerless for us! The girl said truthfully.
Ah, then, isn't there no hope of going home?
Thinking of this, Xiao An immediately showed a desperate expression.
No way, who calls himself a typical Chinese? Most Chinese people are home-lovers. Since ancient times, most of the poets of those previous dynasties have pinned a sense of homesickness in their works. Home is such a place, even in the 21st century, even if it is better than home anywhere outside, it will still make people think about heartache.
So, Xiao An was heartbroken, and he didn't know if he was really sad, and he still had to show off in front of these newly acquired slaves. In short, she really learned a certain beauty, frowning according to her heart, looking very sad.
"Host master! Don't be in a hurry! Your business is ours! How can we bear to see our master fall into troubles and sorrows! Don't worry, in addition to us, there are many palace ladies in this ancient castle, and they are all your slaves. Maybe we don't know, but maybe they do? So, don't worry, leave this matter to us, so many people here will definitely help you think of a solution! The girl was playing with her.
"Really? You guys can really think of a way! Xiao An was overjoyed.
"Is there strength in numbers?" The girl looked at her with a smile, "Master." Don't talk about this, if we want to serve you, there will be time in the future, but now please trouble you to rescue the other palace ladies! She pleaded with Xiao An.
"Good! Just tell me. What is the solution! Xiao An briskly promised.
"Now that you've lifted the most difficult seals in the entire castle, the rest won't be too difficult for you. As long as you follow us around this castle, we can basically rescue the remaining Gong E! ”
It's that simple, isn't that easy? My Xiao An has always been very talkative!
As he spoke, Xiao An walked through the entire castle with those palace laves, and now. She has become the master of this place, and everyone is at her command.
Although she has been the leader of others, she is really not used to being called a "master" by others like this, but she doesn't know what to call them, so she asks for their opinions: "That, can you find other names besides the master?" I can't accept it, I'm not much older than you. Uh, no, no, I'm not as old as you! Although you all look younger than me, in fact, you are the immortal gods! ”
"Well, since you're not used to it, how about calling you 'benefactor'? Anyway, you are indeed the benefactor of our people, and you can't rely on it! ”
"Ah, 'benefactor'? Forget it, this sounds even more awkward, and I didn't do anything, it was just a coincidence. In the future, there may be places where you need your help! If you want to call your master, just call it that, and I'll tell you when I think of the right name! Xiao An had no choice but to accept this title, she originally wanted the palace of these gods to call her "Sister Xiao An", but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was also inappropriate, although it sounded very kind, but she was still taking advantage of others: knowing that people are older than herself, do you still force others to call themselves sisters? Just because he saved this big wave of people? So, it's not appropriate.
"Well, master, whatever you say is what you say!" Gong E replied briskly, "By the way, master, since you have also woken up and we have been rescued, is it time for you to dress up?" You haven't brushed your hair since you woke up? Gong E suggested.
Combs?
Xiao An touched his hair that was not messy and looked at them, "It doesn't seem necessary, I just slept for a while, my hair was not messed up, and my face was not very dirty." And even if it's messed up, you can tie a ponytail in a minute, so why bother you! "Xiao An has not yet been able to get used to his new life as a master, and as the owner of such a large castle.
A few of the girls listened to her words, and they were actually snickering, as if they were how dirty they were. Also, originally, you are all characters in the heavenly realm, even if you are some low-status Xiao Gong'e. He is more knowledgeable than us mortals. But Xiao An was still not angry, and asked patiently, "What's the matter, look at what it means." Do I have to obey you? ”
"Well, I don't dare to say that, it's just that you have to look like a master on the outside. People rely on clothes, since this is an ice and snow castle. Then you will be our Ice Queen from now on. You must indeed have the aura of a master, right? ”
Gong E actually asked for her opinion like this.
"Well, since you've all said that, it seems a bit too much for me to disobey! Then, I'll leave myself to you with peace of mind! Xiao An thought, anyway, there are still many things that need their help in the future, or it is more reliable to do a good job in mass relations now and consolidate the foundation of the people's hearts.
She obediently followed them back to the bedroom, and sat down at the fine dresser, waiting for the goddess to deflect her in the mirror.
"Later. This room will be your own bedroom, and of course all the rooms here are yours! What you like and don't like, we'll follow your arrangement! Gong E, who groomed her, had good skills, and said to her while she was busy, "For example, this bedroom, after all, it has been so long, if you don't like it, you can call us to change the style here!" ”
"Well, no, no! That's fine now, no more changes! The only thing I'm a little suspicious of. It's the sheet and the dress I'm wearing, didn't you say that there were many lives taken from that bed? Can you help me solve this problem now? Although I know that you are powerful, the sheet has condensed some resentment after all, and it is still spread in place. There is always peace in the heart! Xiao An looked back at the bed, pointed to the clothes on his body and said to Gong E.
"Well said, well said! These textiles can be taken out to the sun and dried! The sun is the best disinfectant, and it works better than any disinfectant. You don't have to worry about that, we'll help you change your sheets and get you new clothes later! ”
yes, I'm relieved in that case.
Xiao An remembered the superb level of clothing in the Lingxi Country. So guess it shouldn't be too bad here. No, it can only be good and not bad, no matter what they say, they are all palace ladies who have served the gods! You should be more ingenious than mortals.
Sure enough, these palace ladies did not disappoint her, and after a simple dress-up, they took out a very exquisite robe, "Your Majesty, time is in a hurry, and you haven't been able to adapt to the climate here yet, so I won't wait for you to bathe for now." This is a robe prepared for you temporarily, please put it on first, if you have any suggestions and comments, please let us know, we will definitely repay you with the best quality service to save your life! ”
Gong E gratefully took on the robe and temporarily withdrew, they respected Xiao An very much and promised to let themselves change it alone.
Xiao An changed into this robe, put on the crown he received from Gong E, and stood in front of the mirror, really a bit of a queen. She thought it was very interesting, she didn't expect that she could be an empress in her life, it was so interesting.
The next time is to continue to visit the castle in detail with the palace ladies so that they can adapt and take charge of this place as soon as possible. The palace ladies also took out some of the cheats of the previous masters, including some cheats for practicing and improving their physical fitness, and asked Xiao An to practice these in order to better protect everyone in the future. Xiao An is not disgusted by this, from the beginning of accepting their request, she knew that she could not be the master of others without some real skills, let alone want to protect others. If you don't have diamonds, you don't have to do porcelain work. Fortunately, although she didn't bring any magic weapons when she came, the palace ladies had already prepared ready-made ones for her, as long as she nodded and was willing to study seriously.
Therefore, everyone has already served to this extent, and it would be too much to say if they didn't work hard.
The process of practicing is more difficult than she imagined, but even so, Xiao Anxin is still very happy, and she has long expected that since she can enjoy this rare treatment, she will have to pay the same price. Fortunately, I am still smart, although I can't do cultural classes in college, but these martial arts skills are still okay. may be because Xiaoyou has laid a good foundation for himself, and he does have some understanding in this regard, and those palace ladies have been helping themselves to correct and practice all day long. In this way, it didn't take long for Xiao An to have a lot of mana and physical abilities that were difficult for the gods to have, and of course she was very happy, but the palace ladies who were responsible for the hard teaching were all more excited than her.
"Great. Now our kingdom is saved! Finally, we don't have to worry about who will bully and occupy us! The palace ladies jumped and shouted happily one by one.
"Well, I'll interrupt," Xiao An suddenly had some questions, "after the previous masters of you passed away one after another. Has anyone else tried to encroach on this place? I mean the more capable and purposeful people who come specifically for the castle? ”
Xiao An thought that he had just stumbled in by mistake, and had never heard of this place before. If it weren't for the fact that I was looking for Ah Bai to inquire about things, I wouldn't have flown so far here in a flying saucer, but it doesn't mean that others are the same as me! The number of people who have visited this castle for thousands of years is innumerable. So, did anyone know about this castle for a long time and wanted to explore, hunt for curiosities, or simply attack it?
She looked at the palace ladies, waiting for them to answer for themselves, "Well, you also know that the demon king who died before has already laid a very poisonous curse, so even if there are some people or ghosts with bad intentions, it will be very difficult to come here." And over the years, we have indeed never seen anyone who can surpass our Heavenly King and that Demon King, maybe the age is too far apart. It seems that those outstanding divine skills have also been taken away by those departed gods with the passage of time. Alas, the gods are gone, and the myths they created are over, and all these years they have not met a person who can surprise everyone, even if it is a wicked person, the skills of modern people are really weak! ”
Oh, so that's the case, no wonder people have been saying that the gods of antiquity are even more bullish.
When Xiao An heard this, he couldn't stop nodding.
"Still. Your appearance has completely broken our previous doubts! Although we are there to help you practice all the way, your talent really surprised us! How can there be such a strange person? Could it be that your ancestors were of the blood of the gods? That's why you crossed paths with us and came to this castle to be our master? Gong E, who had just finished sighing, thought of Xiao An, who was very talented. Smiled happily.
After a period of hard study, and for the time being, no natural enemies have been found, Xiao An and Gong E, in other words, several of them equivalent to cabinet ministers Gong E unanimously decided to take a vacation and rest for a while. As a matter of fact. After the seal was lifted, everyone was very tired, and many cells in the body had not fully awakened from the sealed state. These days, they must have suffered a lot with themselves, and Xiao An was also very distressed when he looked at it, so he asked everyone to come out of the state of first-level combat readiness, recharge their bodies and minds, and set off later.
And living in this daughter country, she has never felt any discomfort, anyway, she never thought about meeting a peach blossom relationship here, plus Ah Lu and Ah Bai's castles are daughter countries, she has already adapted to it. What's more, those teammates who have been exploring all the way with themselves have not been called by everyone for so long, so if you are not in a hurry to go home, it is also very good to be a queen in your daughter's country for the rest of your life, the opposite sex, it doesn't matter if you have it or not.
Xiao An has been here for a long time with such thoughts, thinking that he will continue to maintain such a status quo in the future, but he didn't think that in this remote and vast territory, there will really be the existence of the opposite sex, and he is still a prince.
On this day, she originally brought a few palace ladies to play in the newly reclaimed garden, the previous castle was the same as Ah Bai's, all white, Xiao An of course likes white, people all over the world like it, otherwise there would not be so many brides who would choose white wedding dresses. It's just that since he has become the master here, he has the right to change everything.
She always felt that Ah Lu's home was very lively and vibrant, which was very suitable for most of the young palace ladies here, so she ordered to copy some concepts and ideas, organically integrating the two concepts of Ah Lu and Ah Bai. When it was done, everyone was overjoyed to see the new castle in green and white, and they were all busy taking pictures in their new bedrooms and other places. As for the childlike happiness of the palace ladies, Xiao An never stopped it, she didn't think that she was much higher than them, not to mention, she was still facing a group of celestial girls.
"Oh no, no, no! Empress, a man has actually entered our territory! And wounded! We looked at it just now, and he was bleeding all the time! ”
A Gong E stumbled into the greenhouse where Xiao An was resting, Xiao An helped her up, and she was naturally very anxious, but she still tried to ask her patiently. "Don't worry, talk slowly, what's going on?"
"Yes, it's a man, we saw him climb over the wall just now, and climbed into our garden, but he didn't get stabbed by the protection of the wall! He has been walking all the way, and although he is injured and his pace is somewhat restricted, it seems that he is about to enter you! ”
"Let you speak slowly, why is it still full of nonsense? If he wasn't hurt by protection, why was he injured? Moreover, our city walls are all made of special ice, how can ordinary mortals break in? If it was a god, how could he stumble in with a wound? Xiao An was a little angry.
"No, it's not! No! It's that I'm incomplete, the Empress, please stop your anger! That man should be a god, that's why he is not afraid of the protection of our ice wall, and the reason why he was injured is that according to our preliminary understanding, he probably experienced something from the outside, so he fled here! ”
"Oh, you're trying to tell me that this man isn't scary, it's scary that people and things that have been waiting for us outside for a long time, right?" Xiao An asked guessingly.
"Yes, yes! That's what it means! We are here now to ask you, what are we going to do about it? ”
How to deal with it?
"First of all, raise the walls! Intensify your protection! The guards around the kingdom also need to have more manpower, and the people in charge of monitoring must also keep an eye on the situation outside at all times, and report any abnormal situation to me! As for this man, of course, he will first find someone to heal his wounds, and then interrogate him carefully! ”
The palace ladies answered, and immediately retreated, completing the things she had explained.
Xiao An looked at the man who was getting closer and closer, and was a little upset: Why are you so uneasy? Can't you just let me continue with the good old days?
She saw that the man's dripping blood had stained her snow-white ground, and although she didn't see his appearance clearly, and she didn't know where he came from, she disliked him when she saw his current embarrassment and the hatefulness of trespassing.
Wait, if he can give a reasonable explanation, then let him go, if not, then wait to be cleaned up.
Xiao An thought hatefully. (To be continued.) )
