Chapter 161: The Appearance of the Mysterious Man
The cold and damp touch startled Xue Yuanyuan to open her eyes instantly, she shuddered and curled up, only a dim and unknown lamp above her head hit her face, she only remembered that she was still in the prison of the Nameless Realm Arbitration Council a second ago, and how she arrived in this strange and gloomy room in a blink of an eye.
Although imprisoned here, her captors did not restrict her freedom, neither tied her hands nor feet, nor blindfolded her.
At this moment, she is no longer the righteous daughter of the Lin family in a noble dress, with a white-washed white prison uniform, as well as short-cut broken hair, a dull face, and a pale female ghost in the dark.
She tried to discern her surroundings in the dimness, it looked like a small room with piles of miscellaneous items, but from the arrangement of the room, it was by no means a place of leisure, and although the things scattered all over the place were covered with dust, it was not difficult to see that there were some calligraphy and paintings and carved and gold-painted porcelain.
Where the hell is this? Who is her kidnapper?
She shrank up, completely unthinking, since that day after Lin Zhiwei was hit hard by the arbitration meeting, she was sentenced to a year and a half in prison, and since then she has been branded as imprisoned, there is no possibility of turning over, and she is ready to be spurned for this.
Who had the ability to help her quietly in the nameless realm, but it is still unknown whether it helped her or not.
Oh, at least she came out alive again, the corners of her mouth were filled with a poignant smile, and she had a chance to live.
She felt hungry, and when she looked around, there were only cold calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, and endless darkness in the distance.
"Dash...... Da ........"
The sound of footsteps approaching from far and near, it seemed eerie in the darkness.
She flinched back, but she screamed in fright when she touched something sharp.
"Dash...... Da ......."
The footsteps are getting closer, gentle and ethereal.
Xue Yuanyuan held her breath, and didn't dare to slack off at all and stared at the door, whether it was a person or a ghost.
......The door slowly opened, and someone came holding a candlestick, and for a moment appeared in the darkness.
Xue Yuanyuan shouted in horror, "You....... Are you a human or a ghost....... Don't come here.......
The man smiled low in the darkness, "Huh", a misty and gloomy chuckle hovering around the room.
"Cuo, how can you treat our guests like this" The man's Mandarin is soft and magnetic, although it is not standard, but it is surprisingly pleasant.
"Master, it's the responsibility of Cuo!" A dark shadow flickered on the side.
"Who are you? Who exactly? Xue Yuanyuan couldn't help screaming, but her heart rose to her throat, and her intuition told her that this man definitely had a background.
"The one who saved you, Cuo, bring her over" The man's figure holding the candlestick slowly moved away, and the jumping candle flame dissipated, burning in Xue Yuanyuan's heart like a flame of hell, frightened and with a hint of expectation.
Xue Yuanyuan only felt a black shadow approaching her, almost silently, only knowing that she was helped up, and then she was about to be taken to the unknown dark depths.
She walked slowly, looking around at the endless corridors, where candles lit faintly every few meters, and the murals in the corridors were dark and bloody, medieval paintings.
She gasped, but she also made up her mind and continued to walk, if the other party was hostile, she would have been killed a long time ago, so why stay until now.
Gradually, the lights appeared, and what came into view was a large hall with intricate carvings on the roof of the hall, and it was not difficult to see that the Gothic style was everywhere.
This is an ancient castle?!
After passing through the hall and continuing to walk for about a few hundred meters, Xue Yuanyuan noticed that there was a man in black beside him, masked and wearing sunglasses, dressed in black, and he couldn't see half of his face clearly.
The man in black led her into a spacious suite with a fireplace, where fresh fruit drinks were lined up.
"Please wait here first, the master will come over in a moment!" The man in black finished speaking without a trace of warmth, and then closed the door.
Xue Yuanyuan looked at the room carefully, and at the moment she was so hungry that she couldn't care about the fruits on the table and started to enjoy them.
The castle is exquisite, and the stained glass in the room is intricate, and the famous scene in the Bible, "The Last Supper", is presented in front of her stained window.
The rain outside the house hit the face of the person in the flower window, and it was as shocking as the sorrow of the person in the painting, and she was so frightened that she threw away the fruit in her hand.
"Knock knock ......" accompanied by a brief knock on the door, and the man pushed the door in.
Xue Yuanyuan turned her head sharply to see the man's face, and to her surprise, this was probably one of the few handsome faces she had seen in her life.
The man's edges and corners are more heroic and tough under the dim crystal lamp, the high bridge of the nose, hooking the corners of the mouth and chuckling, the most amazing thing is the pair of dark gray eyes, as if as long as you are looked at by those eyes, you will be able to see the deepest corners of the heart.
The man was dressed in a retro black suit with intricate embroidery, a pocket watch on his chest, and walked towards her with slender legs.
"Meow~" An indifferent and lazy cry came, and Xue Yuanyuan took a few steps back.
When he got closer, he found that the man was holding a pure black Persian cat in his hand, and the little one was quietly nestled in the crook of his arm, licking his glorious hair leisurely.
Seeing a stranger, his little head stretched out, and his gray and blue eyes stared at her tightly.
Xue Yuanyuan was so shocked by the man in front of her that she couldn't speak, what a weird and beautiful picture this is, a mysterious and noble man holding a black cat......
"You may be seated!" The man's voice was gentle, but without a hint of warmth.
Xue Yuanyuan sat down mechanically, but lowered her head unnaturally, with ten thousand questions in her heart, but she didn't know how to speak at the moment.
"I'm sorry, Caesar can't do without me" The man stroked the black cat and sat on the sofa opposite her, but only the moment he looked at the black cat, he could catch half a trace of temperature in his gray eyes.
"No..... It's okay," Xue Yuanyuan couldn't help but respond.
The picture in front of her was so eye-catching that she couldn't help but raise her eyes to follow the man's every move.
"Who are you? Why save me? Xue Yuanyuan eased her senses, and immediately opened her mouth to inquire, she had never seen such a man, and with such an ungodly appearance, it could never be a person from the nameless realm, if there was such a person, how could she not know.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's ...... Miss Xue, if I hadn't saved you, you might never have the best day," the man said quietly, stroking Caesar's, his tone soft and mixed with playfulness.
Xue Yuanyuan acquiesced, it was indeed as the man said, if he hadn't rescued him, he would have at least a year and a half to suffer in the dark prison of the arbitration committee, even if he came out, it would be just a rat crossing the street and everyone would spurn it.
