Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Anyway, after finishing this birthday gift, I'll leave quickly and get away from this place of trouble.

What a bunch of sick people, I really can't stand it.

I was thinking about all these things in a mess in my mind and gradually fell asleep.

Maybe I was too tired and I don’t know how long I slept. When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

Zhou Xinyue saw that her skin had turned white due to soaking.

The stars also woke up. They came out of the water and looked at so many dresses in various colors, and picked one with the most low-key color.

Fanxing picked a brown dress, while Zhou Xinyue picked a black one.

These colors are relatively dull and should not attract attention.

Zhou Xinyue looked at the dress, which was embroidered with various totems with ethnic characteristics.

It is indeed very beautiful, and the colors of these totems are also dark, so they cannot be seen inadvertently.

Zhou Xinyue looked at the dress from top to bottom, inside and out, for a long time and felt that it was very low-key and there should be no problem wearing it.

Although the temples and collar of the dress were embroidered with various unknown glittering patterns, perhaps because the light in the room was a little dim, these shiny silk threads did not look so outstanding. Anyway, it was in line with Zhou Xinyue's current mentality of wanting to keep a low profile.

Zhou Xinyue put on the dress, let her long hair down, and sat casually in front of the dressing table. She took a comb and gently combed her hair.

The brown and yellow dress makes Fanxing's skin look fair, and after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, Fanxing's skin looks much more watery and translucent than usual.

Fanxing walked to Zhou Xinyue and gestured, roughly meaning that she felt very comfortable and that she hadn't felt this relaxed for a long time.

Zhou Xinyue also smiled and said, "I also discovered that this hot spring is really good. It is very refreshing. I took a nap in it and now I feel full of energy. And I also feel a little hungry."

Maybe this sentence touched Fanxing's heart, and Fanxing nodded vigorously.

Just as the two were daydreaming about delicious food, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Xinyue asked: "Who?"

It was the voice of a maid.

"Yes, my two benefactors, please get dressed. The city lord invites you two benefactors to have dinner together."

Zhou Xinyue was shocked. She was just an ordinary citizen and a pastry maker. Why would the city lord invite the two of them?

Zhou Xinyue looked at so many gold, silver, and jewelry that she didn't know which one to choose.

To keep things simple, she picked up a white hairpin and casually tied her hair up.

Fanxing also followed her sister Zhou Xinyue's example and picked a ruby ​​hairpin and tied her hair up, looking simple and elegant.

After Zhou Xinyue saw Fanxing was dressed, she said, "Let's go."

Several maids were already waiting outside.

One of the maids said respectfully, "Please follow us to Si'en Palace. The city lord has already set up a dinner to entertain you. Please."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and followed them to the Si'en Palace.

When we arrived at Si'en Hall, we immediately felt it was so gorgeous and eye-catching.

I felt the lights were so dazzling before I even entered.

As soon as I entered, I saw three rows of strangers sitting on both sides. The palace was so huge, and both sides were filled with gorgeous candlesticks.

Looking closely at these candlesticks, even these candlesticks are golden, and the entire palace looks very gorgeous under the candlelight.

Zhou Xinyue took a quick look around and straightened herself up quickly.

Finally, we arrived at the center of the palace, and saw a man sitting on the main seat in the front, wearing a wide robe made of black and gold threads, embroidered with various ethnic totems made of purple, red and other colored silk threads.

I saw that he had slightly curly hair, and wore a headband with a glowing night pearl and small night pearls on both sides. He looked extremely luxurious from head to toe.

Zhou Xinyue saluted loudly and generously using the etiquette of the Longding Kingdom and said, "I, the commoner Zhou, pay my respects to the city lord and wish him everlasting happiness."

Zhou Xinyue turned slightly to the left and looked at an old lady who looked quite old sitting on the upper left. She said in a loud and graceful voice, "Greetings to the Immortal Lord Sai Laoshou. I sincerely wish you a long life, happiness and peace!"

The city lord just looked at this stunningly beautiful and dignified woman, who was so graceful and behaved very appropriately, without being anxious or hurried, and who performed the greetings neither servilely nor arrogantly, and said such nice words, which made people feel happy and excited.

The woman in front of me was not wearing any makeup or rouge, and her skin was white and smooth, as white as cream.

Those eyes, filled with starlight, can make one fall in love with them for a lifetime.

Coupled with the fact that she wore the same simple yet gorgeous black robe as him, he felt an inexplicable bond with her.

All kinds of random thoughts were running through his mind, but his face looked very calm as he sat there staring at Zhou Xinyue in a daze.

Everyone on the field was waiting for the city lord to speak, but the city lord just stared at Zhou Xinyue without saying a word.

The women in the first two rows knew what the city lord meant at first glance.

The city lord is very lustful and very famous, so everyone is used to it.

They were all very calm, with lifeless eyes, waiting for the city lord to speak.

According to previous times, at this time they would either be singing and dancing and drinking in the city lord's bedroom.

Or we could take a bath together, eat meat and taste fine wine.

Every night, more than 10 or 20 people serve the city lord together. Everyone has become accustomed to it. They are also not surprised to hear that the girl named Shuang'er who had bewitched the city lord for several days died in the daytime.

Either he had displeased the group leader, or he had made some fatal mistake.

Generally speaking, the city lord loves beauties very much and will not get angry. However, some beauties who have just entered the city lord's mansion to serve do not understand this. They take advantage of their favor and become arrogant. They do things that violate the rules and make fatal mistakes, which makes the city lord unhappy. The city lord may deal with them immediately at any time and in any place.

These beauties who have been serving the City Lord in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time have become accustomed to it.

Zhou Xinyue's feet were numb from kneeling on the ground. She didn't hear any sound or instructions from above and felt a little panicked.

Fanxing's feet were numb from kneeling, but she didn't dare to move and could only endure it silently.

Although this old lady Sai was sitting, her eyes were closed and she had been dozing off for a while.

I woke up just at this moment, rubbed my eyes, drank some hot tea to moisten my throat, and cleared my throat.

Just then she reacted and looked at the scene. She turned her head and looked at her grandson who was slow to speak, and she understood instantly.

She knew her grandson too well. He was always like this. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman he was interested in, he couldn't help but want to get close to her, or try to attract her attention, or just abduct her into the City Lord's Mansion.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her grandson and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you? When did you come in?"
