Paranoid Raiders Manual [Quick Pass]
Chapter 24 Her Fifth Personality "2"
[Random missions have been activated.
Issue random tasks——
Obtain the handkerchief that the princess just wiped.
Mission reward: 100 points.
...]
In case she didn't understand, the system repeated it unscrupulously.
Now, Qiao Xi came to her senses.
The corner of her mouth twitched, she quickly questioned 333 in her mind.
【What's happening here?Why are there side quests? 】
She had never heard of it.
[System 333: Due to the excessive debt points of the host, starting from this world, the system will issue random tasks. 】
random mission?
With her lips pursed, Qiao Xi asked tentatively.
[Can you refuse to complete a random task? 】
For her question, 333 gave an accurate answer without hesitation.
【Can. 】The mechanical voice paused here for a moment, and in the next second, 333 added what was owed 【Just because you haven’t paid off your debts, you can’t leave the world. 】
Qiao Xi: "..."
How the hell is this different from a mandatory mission?
Seeing the two people who were ordered to arrest her walking in from outside the hall, Qiao Xi quickly picked up the handkerchief that Gu Luan just threw on her face while thinking about how to escape.
The pale yellow handkerchief was clean and delicate, and could still smell a little fragrance.
Putting the handkerchief into her bosom, Qiao Xi didn't feel that her actions were beyond words.
【drop--
Collected the handkerchief that the princess wiped.

……
……
I don't know if it was her act of collecting handkerchiefs, which was a bit bold.
Just when Qiao Xi was about to make a desperate effort, Her Royal Highness changed her mind.
"Wait..." Raising his hand with a strange expression, Gu Luan looked her up and down several times as if he knew her for the first time.
"Throw it to the slave pavilion!" She mused.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Following these words, Qiao Xi was dragged out of the palace by those two big men.
……
*
a month later.
Slave Pavilion.
Rubbing her sore arm, Qiao Xi dragged her heavy legs towards her room.
After a day of fighting, many people gathered in twos and threes in the huge room.
Whether sitting or lying down, everyone looked exhausted.
Slave Pavilion, as the name suggests.
This is a good place for the imperial nobles of the empire to domesticate sinners and kill people.
There will be a "struggle match" held in the pavilion every month, and the sinners put in from all over will be gathered together, just like the selection of Gu, and only ten of them who can survive will be selected.
And these ten people will openly confront the beasts in the semi-annual general election under the eyes of the imperial aristocrats, and finally choose the 'King of Gu'.
Only the 'Gu King' can be pardoned, freed, and left from the slave pavilion.
Because of this, every day at Slave Court is a 'campaign'.
No one would want to fight day after day, and no one would not want to live, even if they were sinners.
In such a place, to live is to constantly challenge or be challenged.
Some people with low strength usually die without waiting for the start.
People die every minute and every second. Under such a perverted system, everyone is trying every means to kill others.
Only when others die, can one have an extra chance to live.
It has been a month since Qiao Xi was thrown in. During this month, she has experienced countless fights every day.
In the first half month, she hardly even had time to sleep.
As a woman, she was subjected to a lot of malicious attacks.
Now that the 'Monthly Selection' has just ended, Qiao Xi has become one of the ten remaining.
She survived.
In such an environment.
This incident has effectively shocked the people in Nuge, at least those who are not strong enough will not trouble her again.
"Hey……"
Sighing secretly, Qiao Xi found her bed and climbed up.
The environment here is not very good. Regardless of men and women, as long as they are sent in, they will face the problem of sleeping in the same room.
It's like a large bunk in a modern dormitory. As far as the eye can see, there are beds and people everywhere.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qiao Xi leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.
Today's fight has consumed a lot of her strength, and she needs to recover quickly.
[How long is it until this year's general election. 】
She talks to the system in her head.
[333: Eight days. 】
There are still eight days...
Tiredly rubbing the center of her brows, Qiao Xi was thinking silently in her heart.
After all, the ancient times are different from the modern times, not just fighting.
The original owner was a shadow guard who was raised from a young age, and his internal and external skills were good.
Qiao Xi can give full play to her physical strength, but she is not very good at using her internal strength.
Because of this, sometimes, she can only turn to the system for help.
After wasting a month, the progress of the task is still zero. If the selection was not imminent, she would have wanted to leave here a long time ago.
Thinking of the public fight eight days later, Qiao Xi sneered, feeling very ridiculous.
What pardon, what 'Gu King'.
It's just a tool for fun raised by those imperial aristocrats.
Nuge is obviously a disguised arena.
……
……
No matter how unwilling I was, the semi-annual 'selection' competition was about to begin.
As one of the participants, Qiao Xi had already prepared three days ago.
At noon, the personnel involved in the battle were led up to the high platform by the steward.
This is indeed a arena.
Sweeping across the tall 'audience seats', Qiao Xi looked around calmly.
The place they were in was an open space the size of a football field, surrounded by a wall, and somewhere outside the wall was a high-rise 'audience seat'.
By this time, the crowd involved in the battle probably already understood.
Just like animals in a circus, the danger they are about to face is just the 'fun' in the eyes of the imperial power and nobles.
How disgusting.
Eyelashes drooping slightly, looking at the yellowed ground under her feet, Qiao Xi's expression remained unchanged.
The people in Nuge may all be sinners, but it is indeed very unpleasant to play for others in this way.
"Seventeen...?"
A thin voice came from behind, and Qiao Xi seemed to hear someone calling her.
Ah no, it's called the original owner.
In such a place, there is actually a queen.
She couldn't help being surprised.
The original owner was a shadow guard carefully trained by the empress, ranked No. 17, and rarely showed up at ordinary times.
Therefore, the only people who can recognize her are those around the queen.
"..."
Thinking of the special identity of the original owner, Qiao Xi didn't respond at all.
But she didn't respond, but that person obviously wasn't going to let her go.
After a while, there was a sound behind her, and someone squeezed over and stood beside her.
"..."
Everyone was in front of her, and Qiao Xi couldn't continue to ignore her. She pursed her lips and turned her head to look at the person next to her.
An unremarkable man.
"... "
Aware of her gaze, the man smiled slightly, but remained silent.
But he didn't speak, but moved quickly.
Feeling that something was suddenly stuffed into the palm of her hand, Qiao Xi clenched it facelessly.
"...Ah... I seem to have made a mistake..."
Seeing that the things were delivered, the man didn't stay for long, and left the words vaguely, he turned and disappeared into the crowd.
After a stick of incense.
Qiao Xi slowly squeezed into the corner.
Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she opened her hand very quickly and saw a note.
Ok?
note...
"..."
With doubts in her heart, she turned her body slightly to cover her palms, and stared around vigilantly.
Seeing that no one noticed, she opened the note and looked at it.
-
There is a difference in the slave pavilion, stay for inspection.
Leaving in January.
-
This is…?
After reading it several times, Qiao Xi confirmed that she was not mistaken.
The queen let her stay in slave pavilion?
why?
With more and more doubts in her heart, she quickly tore up the note and buried it in the loess under her feet.
*
In the afternoon, people entered the high platform facing them one after another.
With the good eyesight of 2.0, Qiao Xi noticed that there seemed to be a noble person coming.
Let the guard lead the way, followed by a servant girl, that person came to the 'VIP position' in the center of the high platform.
It was obviously a place specially prepared for the nobles, with curtains and curtains, and the fruit snacks on the table could be vaguely seen.
Gee.
What a corruption.
With a soft 'tsk' in her heart, Qiao Xi looked away and stopped paying attention.
A quarter of an hour later.
The door opposite them slowly opened.
A pack of wolves with green eyes came out of the door continuously, heading straight for the crowd.
"This time it turned out to be a wolf!!"
"How could it be a wolf?!"
"Damn...the door is locked..."
……
The wolves that emerged one after another caused the crowd to explode.
No one expected that this battle would be so difficult.
Turning a deaf ear to the noisy voices around her, Qiao Xi stared straight at the wolves, counting silently in her heart.
Eight, nine...
35, 36...
There are actually 36 wolves.
The scale of such numbers is really astonishing.
"..."
Grinning secretly in her heart, Qiao Xi's face remained unchanged, and she quietly clenched her hands.
It's a bit tricky.
It's not easy to deal with lone wolves alone, let alone such a pack.
As the wolves advanced, the crowded crowd also began to hug each other and form a circle.
Staying silently with these people, Qiao Xi decided to wait and see what happened.
Xu Shi had been hungry for a long time, and the pack of wolves rushed fast and anxiously.
However, after meeting each other, several black shadows sprang up and rushed towards the crowd.
……
……
The better figure is leaning lazily on the chair, the long black hair is scattered casually, with one hand propping his chin, Gu Luan is watching those people fighting with the wolves with great interest.
The bright red lips raised slightly, and she stretched out her long and soft fingers, and she picked up a piece of pastry in a good mood.
Holding the cake plate in her hand, Qing Lian knelt beside Gu Luan, respectfully like a statue.
The exquisite pastries were delivered to the mouth, and Gu Luan frowned in an instant.
"How can this pastry be so unpalatable?"
Unceremoniously throwing the pastry in her hand to Qinglian, her body moved slightly, and she spoke condescendingly.
"How dare you present such a difficult thing to swallow?"
Unprepared to be smashed all over, Qinglian's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she quickly bent over and kowtowed.
"I know I was wrong... I hope Her Royal Highness will punish you."
"Go and receive the punishment." Gu Luan waved his hand impatiently, and Gu Luan ordered him to back down.
The good mood has been destroyed, it is really not enough to succeed.
"Here."
Responding meekly, Qinglian held the plate and got up to leave.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't raise her head.
……
*
The battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch, and the crowd who had no tacit understanding had already been broken up by the wolves, fighting each other into a ball.
Panting and dealing with the wolf in front of her, Qiao Xi watched the personnel changes in the arena from the corner of her eye.
The situation is looking bad, the wolves are cooperating and orderly.On the other hand, the group of them only cared about themselves, flustered and at a loss.
If this continues, they will be wiped out sooner or later.
【333, locate the wolf for me. 】
Capture the wolf first and capture the king.
Qiao Xi decided to control the wolf king.
[The third row in front is to the right...]
Following the prompt of the system, she quickly found the wolf.
His brown eyes shone with wisdom, he was covered in soft tawny fur, and he dragged a thick tail. His eyes were fierce and majestic.
It is it.
With a kick of her legs and a shudder in her heart, Qiao Xi ordered the system to turn on the martial arts mode, while nimbly piercing towards the wolf king.
After a few seconds.
Under the control of the system, she used light work and came to the head wolf extremely quickly.
"Ouch..."
Not giving it a chance to resist at all, Qiao Xi directly knocked it unconscious.
The alpha wolf lost consciousness, and the pack of wolves was in chaos, retreating steadily.
People got the chance and started to fight back frantically.
...
...
finally.
Relying on her own physical fitness and the blessing of the system, Qiao Xi won the fight without any surprises.
Became the 'Gu King' of this round.
When she left the arena, she saw unconsciously, in the 'vip' seats in the middle of the high platform, there seemed to be someone throwing something in a fit of rage.
The thin gauze curtain concealed the man's appearance, with a graceful figure, which Qiao Xi vaguely felt familiar with.
……
…………
Leaving Nuge, the first thing to do is to rush to the Princess Mansion.
There was no progress in the task at all, Qiao Xi said she wanted to stay with the princess.
Naturally, she couldn't hide her movements from Gu Luan. Hearing that she was heading towards the Princess Mansion, Her Royal Highness looked gloomy and sneered.
"I want to take a look, what else is she going to do?"
Stretching out his hand to brush the slightly messy long hair, Gu Luan angrily said to the people who were kneeling in a circle: "Go back to the house."
"Well..."
……
When they arrived at the Princess Mansion, it was already You Hour.
It was getting dark, and two red lanterns hung high under the eaves of the mansion.
Reflecting the candlelight, the majestic plaque and the red-lacquered wooden door blocked her out.
Looking at the three sharp words on the plaque, Qiao Xi pondered what to say later.
Thinking of the identity of the original owner and the incident that offended the princess before, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
It feels like I have already stepped on a lot of thunder... I don't know if Her Royal Highness can tolerate one or two more...
"Hey……"
With a long sigh, Qiao Xi's head felt cold and she was a little bald.
Being thrown into the slave pavilion this time, it was pure luck to survive.
It would be too much for her to do it again.
Da da da……
The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and a delicate mahogany carriage slowly approached.
At the same time, the closed door behind her was also pulled open.
ah…
After ducking into the red pillar, Qiao Xi saw a few handsome servants, and rushed out in a hurry.
As the footsteps got closer, the servant slowly knelt down.
With their foreheads close to the ground, they kneeled in a row on both sides of the door in a standard posture.
"..."
Judging from the situation, Gu Luan must have returned.
How can this be good...
Somewhat at a loss, Qiao Xi rarely panicked.
Seeing that the sedan chair was about to fall, she jerked her head, and without thinking about it, she followed Da Liu and knelt down at the door together.
……
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Gu Luan frowned when he saw someone knelt down in a clumsy manner, and his mood became even worse.
"Princess be careful."
Qinglian raised her hand to help her down.
"Welcome Your Highness back home!"
The servants kneeling on the ground spoke in unison.
The tone is steady, as if carved out of a mold.
Qiao Xi, who was in the middle of it: "..."
Putting her slender fingers on Qinglian's hand, Gu Luan got off the sedan chair and walked slowly towards the mansion.
Her hips floated slightly with the hem of the skirt, like a flower slowly blooming. She had an elegant posture and kept walking.
It wasn't until the princess's back disappeared at the door that the servants who were kneeling on the ground got up and walked in in an orderly manner.
Slipping into the door together with them, looking at the huge courtyard in front of her, Qiao Xi was in a trance, always feeling that she came in a little too smoothly.
Although I was puzzled in my heart, half of the goal that should be achieved was achieved.
Chasing in the direction where Gu Luan disappeared, Qiao Xi hurriedly followed.
After a stick of incense...
It is a familiar place and a familiar posture.
Qiao Xi was tied up and thrown into the main hall.
At this time, Gu Luan had just finished cleaning his hands, leaning on the main seat to eat pastries.
It wasn't surprising to see her thrown in bundles.
"Tell me..."
Glancing at her indifferently, Gu Luan casually picked up a piece of snack: "What does the queen want you to come to my place for?"
I thought letting her in on purpose would show some flaws.
Who would have thought that this person followed him all the time, as if he wanted to go forward but dared not.
Really annoying.
"Well…"
It was no surprise that she was caught, and Qiao Xi's ultimate goal was to face the princess.
Frowning, the storm in her head continued, she lowered her eyebrows and knelt down.
"The subordinates belong to Her Highness the Princess, even if they leave the slave pavilion by chance, they are still Her Highness's people."
After finishing this sentence in a well-regulated manner, Qiao Xi's heart sank, and she simply added: "Seventeen will only be loyal to you."
No matter what the other party thinks, her attitude must first be correct.
"You are faithful."
Responding neither salty nor bland, Gu Luan opened his mouth and lightly took a bite of the pastry.
Her bright red lips were stained with a little froth, like an extremely elegant cat, her cheeks moved, and she chewed thinly and slowly.
"..."
Knocking her head tightly on the ground, Qiao Xi's ears were pricked up, waiting for the princess' next sentence.
However, every minute and every second passed...
It felt like several minutes had passed, and the entire hall was surprisingly quiet.
what happened?
Frowning, Qiao Xi was very puzzled.
Does the princess have anything else to ask?
Believe it or not?
"Your Highness..."
Unable to hold back, Qiao Xi asked in a tactful tone: "Seventeen wants to stay by your side to serve you, can you...?"
That's her purpose.
"..."
Her bold and reckless voice was next to her ears, Gu Luan gave a slap in the face, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes very quickly.
Slowly putting down the half-eaten snack with her fingers, she took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and said in a deep voice: "It's rare that you have such a heart, it's not impossible if you agree. It's just..."
The words stopped here, as if thinking of something interesting, Gu Luan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he smiled slowly: "I don't like ugly people, your appearance..."
He fell silent before he finished speaking, but the meaning in it was well expressed.
After hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but have black lines all over her head.
It was the first time she was so disliked by others, no wonder she always felt that everyone in the princess mansion was handsome, and it turned out that the master was a face control...
"Subordinates can show their hats..." Qiao Xi gritted her teeth.
"That's fine..." Covering her mouth and laughing coquettishly, Gu Luan raised the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Qinglian just happens to be inconvenient recently, so you can replace her..."
As soon as this is said, it is settled.
Qiao Xi was instantly overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"It's nothing." Waving his hand indifferently, Gu Luan turned around and mentioned another matter: "I heard that Nuge is fighting against wolves this time. How did you win?"
"To capture the wolf, you must first capture the king." Qiao Xi explained.
"I see." Nodding thoughtfully, Gu Luan asked again: "How do you know which wolf king is?"
There were so many wolves back then, how did she recognize them at a glance?
"The subordinates observed for a while." She said.
"Oh…"
Knowing that she wasn't telling the truth, Gu Luan's expression became pale and cold.
But at this time, Qiao Xi had no time to pay attention to the changes of the princess.
Her mind was already occupied by the unscrupulous system sound.
[Trigger a random task.
Task details: Collect the cakes that Her Royal Highness has not finished eating.
Task reward: 100J
...]
Qiao Xi: "..."
So annoying!
Want to hit someone!
MMP kept going in her heart, but Qiao Xi's gaze fell on the plate of pastries in front of the princess's table honestly.
The white pastry is small and delicate, and each pattern is very beautiful.
Although I haven't tasted the taste, but just looking at the appearance of the pastry, the taste must not be bad...
Sensing her blunt and burning eyes, Gu Luan looked at the remaining pastries on his plate, raised his brows slightly, but smiled.
"This time you made a big splash in Nuge, and I am very pleased. I will reward you with this dish of crystal horseshoe cake."
"..."
As if she didn't expect to be rewarded, Qiao Xi was taken aback.
This is really drowsy and someone handed the pillow!
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the reward!"
She accepted it without hesitation.
"It's nothing..." Gu Luan waved his hands indifferently.
"Come and get it..." she ordered.
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Xi stood up, and then quickly picked up the pastry from the plate that she hadn't finished eating just now.
Gu Luan: "..."
"Thank you princess!"
Having picked up 100 points for nothing, Qiao Xi felt very comfortable.
Even the brows were stained with joy, and the corners of her lips were raised, obviously in a good mood.
However, she was in a better mood, while Gu Luan was not so happy.
The expression was a bit indescribable, looking at the cakes and then at Qiao Xi, she didn't know what to say for a while.
This is the first time I have met such an indescribable woman...
From handkerchiefs to pastries...how can she be so straightforward and calm...
His face turned red and then pale, and after half a stick of incense, Gu Luan stood up abruptly from his chair.
The hem of the skirt was fluttering due to her movements, she straightened her face, and said slowly: "I don't need you here for now, you go down first!"
"Yes!"
Qiao Xi stepped back obediently.
……
Watching her leave, Gu Luanxiu frowned, not wanting to stay here at all.
"Come on, I want to take a bath!"
As soon as the words fell, the servant guarding the door was the first to walk in respectfully.
"Your Highness, the hot water is ready."
He saluted respectfully.
Since Qiao Xi fell in the bath last time, Her Royal Highness has changed to bathing in her room.
This time when he came back from the slave pavilion, the mansion got the news early and prepared the water.
"..."
Nodding in satisfaction, Gu Luan straightened his clothes, stretched out his embroidered shoes, and walked out in a mighty manner.
Seeing that she was about to leave the hall, as if she just remembered something, she paused slightly, and said lightly: "Throw the cakes on the table to the dogs."
"Yes…"

In case she didn't understand, the system repeated it unscrupulously.
Now, Qiao Xi came to her senses.
The corner of her mouth twitched, she quickly questioned 333 in her mind.
【What's happening here?Why are there side quests? 】

Qiao Xi: "..."

Seeing the two people who were ordered to arrest her walking in from outside the hall, Qiao Xi quickly picked up the handkerchief that Gu Luan just threw on her face while thinking about how to escape.
The pale yellow handkerchief was clean and delicate, and could still smell a little fragrance.
Putting the handkerchief into her bosom, Qiao Xi didn't feel that her actions were beyond words.

Just when Qiao Xi was about to make a desperate effort, Her Royal Highness changed her mind.
"Wait..." Raising his hand with a strange expression, Gu Luan looked her up and down several times as if he knew her for the first time.
"Throw it to the slave pavilion!" She mused.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Following these words, Qiao Xi was dragged out of the palace by those two big men.
……
*
a month later.
Slave Pavilion.
Rubbing her sore arm, Qiao Xi dragged her heavy legs towards her room.
After a day of fighting, many people gathered in twos and threes in the huge room.
Whether sitting or lying down, everyone looked exhausted.
Slave Pavilion, as the name suggests.

The scale of such numbers is really astonishing.
"..."
Grinning secretly in her heart, Qiao Xi's face remained unchanged, and she quietly clenched her hands.
It's a bit tricky.
It's not easy to deal with lone wolves alone, let alone such a pack.
As the wolves advanced, the crowded crowd also began to hug each other and form a circle.
Staying silently with these people, Qiao Xi decided to wait and see what happened.
Xu Shi had been hungry for a long time, and the pack of wolves rushed fast and anxiously.
However, after meeting each other, several black shadows sprang up and rushed towards the crowd.
……
……
The better figure is leaning lazily on the chair, the long black hair is scattered casually, with one hand propping his chin, Gu Luan is watching those people fighting with the wolves with great interest.
The bright red lips raised slightly, and she stretched out her long and soft fingers, and she picked up a piece of pastry in a good mood.
Holding the cake plate in her hand, Qing Lian knelt beside Gu Luan, respectfully like a statue.
The exquisite pastries were delivered to the mouth, and Gu Luan frowned in an instant.
"How can this pastry be so unpalatable?"
Unceremoniously throwing the pastry in her hand to Qinglian, her body moved slightly, and she spoke condescendingly.
"How dare you present such a difficult thing to swallow?"
Unprepared to be smashed all over, Qinglian's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she quickly bent over and kowtowed.
"I know I was wrong... I hope Her Royal Highness will punish you."
"Go and receive the punishment." Gu Luan waved his hand impatiently, and Gu Luan ordered him to back down.
The good mood has been destroyed, it is really not enough to succeed.
"Here."
Responding meekly, Qinglian held the plate and got up to leave.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't raise her head.
……
*
The battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch, and the crowd who had no tacit understanding had already been broken up by the wolves, fighting each other into a ball.
Panting and dealing with the wolf in front of her, Qiao Xi watched the personnel changes in the arena from the corner of her eye.
The situation is looking bad, the wolves are cooperating and orderly.On the other hand, the group of them only cared about themselves, flustered and at a loss.
If this continues, they will be wiped out sooner or later.
【333, locate the wolf for me. 】
Capture the wolf first and capture the king.
Qiao Xi decided to control the wolf king.
[The third row in front is to the right...]
Following the prompt of the system, she quickly found the wolf.
His brown eyes shone with wisdom, he was covered in soft tawny fur, and he dragged a thick tail. His eyes were fierce and majestic.
It is it.
With a kick of her legs and a shudder in her heart, Qiao Xi ordered the system to turn on the martial arts mode, while nimbly piercing towards the wolf king.
After a few seconds.
Under the control of the system, she used light work and came to the head wolf extremely quickly.
"Ouch..."
Not giving it a chance to resist at all, Qiao Xi directly knocked it unconscious.
The alpha wolf lost consciousness, and the pack of wolves was in chaos, retreating steadily.
People got the chance and started to fight back frantically.
...
...
finally.
Relying on her own physical fitness and the blessing of the system, Qiao Xi won the fight without any surprises.
Became the 'Gu King' of this round.
When she left the arena, she saw unconsciously, in the 'vip' seats in the middle of the high platform, there seemed to be someone throwing something in a fit of rage.
The thin gauze curtain concealed the man's appearance, with a graceful figure, which Qiao Xi vaguely felt familiar with.
……
…………
Leaving Nuge, the first thing to do is to rush to the Princess Mansion.
There was no progress in the task at all, Qiao Xi said she wanted to stay with the princess.
Naturally, she couldn't hide her movements from Gu Luan. Hearing that she was heading towards the Princess Mansion, Her Royal Highness looked gloomy and sneered.
"I want to take a look, what else is she going to do?"
Stretching out his hand to brush the slightly messy long hair, Gu Luan angrily said to the people who were kneeling in a circle: "Go back to the house."
"Well..."
……
When they arrived at the Princess Mansion, it was already You Hour.
It was getting dark, and two red lanterns hung high under the eaves of the mansion.
Reflecting the candlelight, the majestic plaque and the red-lacquered wooden door blocked her out.
Looking at the three sharp words on the plaque, Qiao Xi pondered what to say later.
Thinking of the identity of the original owner and the incident that offended the princess before, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
It feels like I have already stepped on a lot of thunder... I don't know if Her Royal Highness can tolerate one or two more...
"Hey……"
With a long sigh, Qiao Xi's head felt cold and she was a little bald.
Being thrown into the slave pavilion this time, it was pure luck to survive.
It would be too much for her to do it again.
Da da da……
The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and a delicate mahogany carriage slowly approached.
At the same time, the closed door behind her was also pulled open.
ah…
After ducking into the red pillar, Qiao Xi saw a few handsome servants, and rushed out in a hurry.
As the footsteps got closer, the servant slowly knelt down.
With their foreheads close to the ground, they kneeled in a row on both sides of the door in a standard posture.
"..."
Judging from the situation, Gu Luan must have returned.
How can this be good...
Somewhat at a loss, Qiao Xi rarely panicked.
Seeing that the sedan chair was about to fall, she jerked her head, and without thinking about it, she followed Da Liu and knelt down at the door together.
……
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Gu Luan frowned when he saw someone knelt down in a clumsy manner, and his mood became even worse.
"Princess be careful."
Qinglian raised her hand to help her down.
"Welcome Your Highness back home!"
The servants kneeling on the ground spoke in unison.
The tone is steady, as if carved out of a mold.
Qiao Xi, who was in the middle of it: "..."
Putting her slender fingers on Qinglian's hand, Gu Luan got off the sedan chair and walked slowly towards the mansion.
Her hips floated slightly with the hem of the skirt, like a flower slowly blooming. She had an elegant posture and kept walking.
It wasn't until the princess's back disappeared at the door that the servants who were kneeling on the ground got up and walked in in an orderly manner.
Slipping into the door together with them, looking at the huge courtyard in front of her, Qiao Xi was in a trance, always feeling that she came in a little too smoothly.
Although I was puzzled in my heart, half of the goal that should be achieved was achieved.
Chasing in the direction where Gu Luan disappeared, Qiao Xi hurriedly followed.
After a stick of incense...
It is a familiar place and a familiar posture.
Qiao Xi was tied up and thrown into the main hall.
At this time, Gu Luan had just finished cleaning his hands, leaning on the main seat to eat pastries.
It wasn't surprising to see her thrown in bundles.
"Tell me..."
Glancing at her indifferently, Gu Luan casually picked up a piece of snack: "What does the queen want you to come to my place for?"
I thought letting her in on purpose would show some flaws.
Who would have thought that this person followed him all the time, as if he wanted to go forward but dared not.
Really annoying.
"Well…"
It was no surprise that she was caught, and Qiao Xi's ultimate goal was to face the princess.
Frowning, the storm in her head continued, she lowered her eyebrows and knelt down.
"The subordinates belong to Her Highness the Princess, even if they leave the slave pavilion by chance, they are still Her Highness's people."
After finishing this sentence in a well-regulated manner, Qiao Xi's heart sank, and she simply added: "Seventeen will only be loyal to you."
No matter what the other party thinks, her attitude must first be correct.
"You are faithful."
Responding neither salty nor bland, Gu Luan opened his mouth and lightly took a bite of the pastry.
Her bright red lips were stained with a little froth, like an extremely elegant cat, her cheeks moved, and she chewed thinly and slowly.
"..."
Knocking her head tightly on the ground, Qiao Xi's ears were pricked up, waiting for the princess' next sentence.
However, every minute and every second passed...
It felt like several minutes had passed, and the entire hall was surprisingly quiet.
what happened?
Frowning, Qiao Xi was very puzzled.
Does the princess have anything else to ask?
Believe it or not?
"Your Highness..."
Unable to hold back, Qiao Xi asked in a tactful tone: "Seventeen wants to stay by your side to serve you, can you...?"
That's her purpose.
"..."
Her bold and reckless voice was next to her ears, Gu Luan gave a slap in the face, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes very quickly.
Slowly putting down the half-eaten snack with her fingers, she took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and said in a deep voice: "It's rare that you have such a heart, it's not impossible if you agree. It's just..."
The words stopped here, as if thinking of something interesting, Gu Luan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he smiled slowly: "I don't like ugly people, your appearance..."
He fell silent before he finished speaking, but the meaning in it was well expressed.
After hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but have black lines all over her head.
It was the first time she was so disliked by others, no wonder she always felt that everyone in the princess mansion was handsome, and it turned out that the master was a face control...
"Subordinates can show their hats..." Qiao Xi gritted her teeth.
"That's fine..." Covering her mouth and laughing coquettishly, Gu Luan raised the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Qinglian just happens to be inconvenient recently, so you can replace her..."
As soon as this is said, it is settled.
Qiao Xi was instantly overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"It's nothing." Waving his hand indifferently, Gu Luan turned around and mentioned another matter: "I heard that Nuge is fighting against wolves this time. How did you win?"
"To capture the wolf, you must first capture the king." Qiao Xi explained.
"I see." Nodding thoughtfully, Gu Luan asked again: "How do you know which wolf king is?"
There were so many wolves back then, how did she recognize them at a glance?
"The subordinates observed for a while." She said.
"Oh…"
Knowing that she wasn't telling the truth, Gu Luan's expression became pale and cold.
But at this time, Qiao Xi had no time to pay attention to the changes of the princess.
Her mind was already occupied by the unscrupulous system sound.
[Trigger a random task.
Task details: Collect the cakes that Her Royal Highness has not finished eating.
Task reward: 100J
...]
Qiao Xi: "..."
So annoying!
Want to hit someone!
MMP kept going in her heart, but Qiao Xi's gaze fell on the plate of pastries in front of the princess's table honestly.
The white pastry is small and delicate, and each pattern is very beautiful.
Although I haven't tasted the taste, but just looking at the appearance of the pastry, the taste must not be bad...
Sensing her blunt and burning eyes, Gu Luan looked at the remaining pastries on his plate, raised his brows slightly, but smiled.
"This time you made a big splash in Nuge, and I am very pleased. I will reward you with this dish of crystal horseshoe cake."
"..."
As if she didn't expect to be rewarded, Qiao Xi was taken aback.
This is really drowsy and someone handed the pillow!
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the reward!"
She accepted it without hesitation.
"It's nothing..." Gu Luan waved his hands indifferently.
"Come and get it..." she ordered.
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Xi stood up, and then quickly picked up the pastry from the plate that she hadn't finished eating just now.
Gu Luan: "..."
"Thank you princess!"
Having picked up 100 points for nothing, Qiao Xi felt very comfortable.
Even the brows were stained with joy, and the corners of her lips were raised, obviously in a good mood.
However, she was in a better mood, while Gu Luan was not so happy.
The expression was a bit indescribable, looking at the cakes and then at Qiao Xi, she didn't know what to say for a while.
This is the first time I have met such an indescribable woman...
From handkerchiefs to pastries...how can she be so straightforward and calm...
His face turned red and then pale, and after half a stick of incense, Gu Luan stood up abruptly from his chair.
The hem of the skirt was fluttering due to her movements, she straightened her face, and said slowly: "I don't need you here for now, you go down first!"
"Yes!"
Qiao Xi stepped back obediently.
……
Watching her leave, Gu Luanxiu frowned, not wanting to stay here at all.
"Come on, I want to take a bath!"
As soon as the words fell, the servant guarding the door was the first to walk in respectfully.
"Your Highness, the hot water is ready."
He saluted respectfully.
Since Qiao Xi fell in the bath last time, Her Royal Highness has changed to bathing in her room.
This time when he came back from the slave pavilion, the mansion got the news early and prepared the water.
"..."
Nodding in satisfaction, Gu Luan straightened his clothes, stretched out his embroidered shoes, and walked out in a mighty manner.
Seeing that she was about to leave the hall, as if she just remembered something, she paused slightly, and said lightly: "Throw the cakes on the table to the dogs."
"Yes…"
