My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 528: Pungent Smell

Gui Xiaoxu studied Feng Xiyan for a moment before extending his hand. "It’s my honor to meet you, Young Master Feng."

Feng Xiyan observed him for a few seconds before shaking his hand. "The honor is mine."

Seeing the atmosphere finally easing, Bai Hanyun smiled and asked, "CEO Gui, how is your condition now?"

Smiling politely, Gui Xiaoxu replied, "Thanks to my cousin and the elders’ care, my condition has improved greatly."

Glancing at the darkened sky, Bai Hanyun asked, "CEO Gui, would you like to join us for dinner?"

At her invitation, Gui Xiaoxu glanced at Gui Ying. Seeing that he was completely absorbed in the drama, Gui Xiaoxu nodded. "Sure. Thank you for your invitation, Miss Bai."

Hearing his agreement, Bai Hanyun held Feng Xiyan’s hand and said with a smile, "Feng Xiyan, you should go and take a bath while the servants prepare dinner."

"Alright."

Gesturing for Gui Xiaoxu to have a seat, Bai Hanyun added, "CEO Gui, please enjoy some refreshments while waiting for the dinner to be served."

"Thank you."

With that, Bai Hanyun went to the kitchen to arrange for their dinner while Feng Xiyan returned to his courtyard to clean up.

Half an hour later, the four of them gathered at the dining table.

Sitting beside Bai Hanyun, Feng Xiyan said, "I hope the food suits your taste, Young Master Gui."

Gui Xiaoxu looked at the exquisite dishes and thought, ’These ingredients... they look familiar—just like those from my world.’

Glancing at Bai Hanyun, he pondered, ’Could it be... Miss Bai?’

Although he was busy thinking, Gui Xiaoxu maintained a polite smile. "The dishes look delicious."

Seeing that they were still exchanging pleasantries, Gui Ying picked up his chopsticks and said bluntly, "Stop talking. Eat first."

At his words, Bai Hanyun also picked up her chopsticks, selecting meat and vegetables for Feng Xiyan before starting her own meal.

Watching the two of them eating while discussing the drama series, Gui Xiaoxu and Feng Xiyan exchanged a glance before picking up their chopsticks as well.

As the four of them ate, time passed quickly.

An hour later, Bai Hanyun rubbed her slightly bulging stomach and turned to Xiao Cui. "Xiao Cui, the food tonight was excellent. Go to my treasury and reward the chef and kitchen staff."

Xiao Cui curtsied with a smile. "Yes, Miss Bai."

After the servants cleared the table, Gui Xiaoxu spoke up. "Miss Bai, since my matters here are settled, I should return. May I trouble you with this?"

He paused for a second, then added, "Of course, I won’t ask for your help for free. If you ever need anything, please feel free to tell me."

Hearing this, Gui Ying frowned slightly. "You just formed your Golden Core. If you don’t have anything urgent, you should stay here and stabilize your foundation."

Gui Xiaoxu shook his head. "There are important matters I need to handle. I will return after finishing my business."

Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Gui Ying flipped his hand. A second later, a small jade bottle appeared in his palm.

Placing it in front of Gui Xiaoxu, he said, "There are fifty Spiritual Energy Consolidation Pills inside. Take one every three days to stabilize your cultivation."

Gui Xiaoxu stored the small jade bottle away and nodded. "Understood."

Only then did Bai Hanyun ask, "CEO Gui, when would you like to return to our world?"

"If it’s not troubling you, I would like to go back tonight," Gui Xiaoxu replied after a moment of thought.

Bai Hanyun smiled. "No problem. Let’s go. I will open the portal for you."

After saying that, she stood up and left the dining room, followed by Feng Xiyan.

Finishing his tea in one gulp, Gui Ying stood up as well. "Let’s go."

Outside the dining room, Feng Xiyan dismissed the servants. With only the four of them remaining, he said, "Yun’er, you can begin."

"Alright."

Standing in the spacious courtyard, Bai Hanyun turned to Gui Xiaoxu. "CEO Gui, the space and time portal needs a destination. Where would you like to go?"

Gui Xiaoxu thought for a moment and then replied, "Shang Du City."

"Do you have a specific address?" Bai Hanyun asked.

Gui Xiaoxu wanted to return directly to the Bu Gui Pavilion headquarters, but he couldn’t let Bai Hanyun know that he was the Pavilion Master.

After some thought, he said, "You can connect the portal to the Gui Group headquarters. My office is on the top floor. No one can enter without my permission, so it should be safe to open the portal there."

"Understood." Bai Hanyun closed her eyes and used her mind to open the portable space and time portal. As she connected to the destination, the portal expanded second by second.

A few moments later, it completely opened and stabilized.

Turning to Gui Xiaoxu, she said, "CEO Gui, it’s ready. I hope you arrive safely."

Looking into the dark portal and seeing his familiar office, Gui Xiaoxu nodded. "Thank you, Miss Bai. See you next time."

After nodding to Feng Xiyan and Gui Ying as goodbyes, he calmly stepped into the portable time and space portal.

Bai Hanyun waited until Gui Xiaoxu arrived safely on the other side. When she saw him turn around, she waved at him before closing the portal.

Standing in the center of his spacious office, Gui Xiaoxu frowned slightly as a pungent smell hit his nose.

’What is Ke Ting doing? Why does the office smell so bad?’

Slightly annoyed, he went to the hidden resting room behind the wall to change clothes. After putting on a black suit, he called Ke Ting.

The moment the call connected, Gui Xiaoxu asked, "Ke Ting, didn’t you clean the office while I was away?"

Ke Ting’s eyes lit up when he heard Gui Xiaoxu’s voice. "Boss, you are finally back! How was it? Did you manage to lift the curse?"

"Mhm," Gui Xiaoxu responded briefly. Then, with dissatisfaction in his voice, he added, "You haven’t answered my question."
