55. Unboxing a Surprise (Second Release, Seeking Monthly Votes~)

Du Shengtao’s battle with the dark alliance’s brutes was quite the spectacle, compelling Lin Nuo to nibble on the pork floss buns he had in his clothing bag.

But as much as he enjoyed the show, business had to be attended to. He hurriedly opened the small warehouse door and moved the box inside.

The situation was urgent; outside, a world war had erupted. It could reach him at any moment, or a spiritual wave might be launched his way, and he’d be gone.

The princess was nowhere to be seen, yet the fight had already begun. Presumably, these people had been harboring anger and hatred for a long time, and the princess’s situation had ignited the fuse, leading to their great battle.

Those two at the door fought as if the other had slain their entire family, battling to the death. Now, exhausted, they resorted to cursing each other out in the streets of Zaun.

Regardless, it was time to unpack the box; whatever he could take with him was all that mattered.

Lin Nuo picked up a small knife and swiftly sliced through the box’s surface.

These contraband materials were extremely rare and hard to come by, suppressed by the imperial authorities and only available on the black market. If not for his dark alliance ring and badge to bluff them, it would have cost him a fortune.

These treasures, brought back after much hardship, were a consolation for his troubled heart.

Lin Nuo opened the box with great anticipation, but…

“Did I open the box wrong?”

He closed the lid and tried another method.

Still the same result. He tried other methods, even burning a couple of incense sticks.

But nothing changed.

“Damn, am I seeing things? Did my contraband turn into a girl?!”

Inside the box lay a beautiful young girl, dressed in a simple floral dress, her smooth, fair skin and naturally beautiful face devoid of heavy makeup.

Her hands were folded over her chest, her eyes closed, like a sleeping fairy.

Lin Nuo was full of question marks. Others unbox gold, but he unboxed a girl?

He hadn’t even subscribed to VIP. The game ‘Greedy Blue Moon’ didn’t deceive him; no top-up, free gold, the setting sun is endlessly beautiful.

And this girl, she felt strangely familiar.

What about his stuff? Could it be underneath?

Possibly. First, he had to lift the girl out.

Was the girl dead? Oh, no, she was breathing.

Lin Nuo reached down to lift the girl from the box, but upon touching her, it was as if an electric breath wrapped around his body, sending shivers through him, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

“Goodness, there’s a theft-prevention mechanism in place.”

Lin Nuo turned and walked further inside, pulling out a pair of gloves and some small tools. After carefully observing for a while, he had a clue.

Without another word, he got to work.

In no time at all, he had dismantled the mechanism hidden inside the box.

He wasn’t cut out for a direct confrontation, but taking apart this contraption was a breeze for him.

This black market is so unscrupulous, providing only anti-theft locks without teaching the skills or the codes to unlock them, and no after-sales service to boot.

No choice then, he had to dismantle the lock.

A fragrant aroma wafted from the box, and Lin Nuo suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.

Is this… the soporific fragrance?

Just a whiff and he was already struggling to stay awake. No wonder, despite the uproar of a great battle outside, as if the sky were falling, she could sleep so soundly. He had thought she was dead, or perhaps she was the goddess of sleep.

The soporific fragrance had already spread from the box. Lin Nuo quickly took out a homemade inhaler, flipped the switch, and the crystal supplied spiritual power, sucking all the soporific fragrance into the inhaler.

Then, Lin Nuo transferred the soporific fragrance from the inhaler to a small test tube. This fragrance could be very useful. He planned to use it on the protagonist, Su Kexin. She would fall asleep instantly, and then, well, anything would be possible.

From noble mtl dot come

Good, take it with you.

At this moment, the girl inside the box slowly opened her eyes, stretched her arms in a small lazy yawn, like a kitten waking up from a day’s sleep, and rubbed her eyes.

“Where am I?”

The girl found herself in a shabby little house, with a young man in front of her. Although his face was dark and scarred, overall, he was quite handsome, at least pleasant to look at.

Lin Nuo realized that the cloth covering his mouth and nose had been blown away, now his face was fully exposed to the girl.

This is bad, she’s seen my face, and this place, with all sorts of forbidden magical devices, if she goes out, there’s a high chance she’ll blow the whistle on him.

No matter, just kill her and silence her. Dead people can’t talk.

“This is an abandoned warehouse. I found a box on the road and brought it here to check it out, never expected there to be a person inside.”

“Ah? I was inside a box? How did this… cough cough…”

The girl coughed twice, utterly confused. How did she wake up inside a box?

She looked down at her surroundings, indeed she was lying in a box. She remembered, wasn’t she just wandering the night market?

“Young master?”

The girl looked up, only to find that Lin Nuo, who was just in front of her, had disappeared.

At that moment, Lin, the villain, stood behind the girl, holding a knife to her heart.

Good, before killing Su Kexin, he would start with her.

Die!

Lin Nuo thrust the knife down, but as the blade touched the girl’s back, a dazzling white light flashed, and the knife was sent flying.

What is this? Could it be the long-lost mighty Heavenly Dragon?!
