The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 426 - 423: Task Wooden Box

Just as Xin Lin was about to open the wooden box, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

It was around the time of the third watch.

The guests at Taoyao Pavilion had mostly left, and there were few people to be seen.

Yet Xin Lin had a strange feeling.

It seemed like something hidden was watching her every move.

Xin Lin’s hand froze mid-air.

Her experience as the Female Soldier King had exposed her to more dangers than others would face in a lifetime.

Xin Lin was certain that some unknown, mysterious entity was closely observing her.

And that entity was very dangerous!

Her intuition was always accurate.

It just so happened that the Pride Corpse had been sent by her to search for Overlord Eggs.

Xin Lin did not know whether the other party had seen her suddenly acquire the wooden box.

Danger. Extreme danger.

Sweat covered Xin Lin’s nostrils.

Suddenly, someone lightly patted her shoulder from behind.

Xin Lin slowly turned her head, her expression noticeably easing.

"Ziyue, it’s you?"

Ziyue, her face as beautiful as the moon, skin as white as snow, her eyes slightly cold, her long hair fluttering in the wind, wearing a dark cyan dress, Murong Ziyue stood behind Xin Lin.

Xin Lin looked at Murong Ziyue under the lamplight.

This Murong Ziyue, who was like an unapproachable iceberg during their first meeting, now had a hint of warmth and a trace of friendliness in her eyes when she saw Xin Lin.

She had been busy with Chu Mansion and Spiritual Food Restaurant, and she hadn’t seen Murong Ziyue since the Zixiao Palace Exam. She had thought they would not meet until the start of school, but unexpectedly, they bumped into each other tonight.

Murong Ziyue’s appearance was a surprise to Xin Lin. Why was Ziyue here?

In a place like Taoyao Pavilion. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With Murong Ziyue’s arrival, the chilling sensation that made Xin Lin’s hair stand on end vanished, and she let out a sigh of relief, flashing a bright smile at Murong Ziyue.

Murong Ziyue neither agreed nor disagreed, just examining Xin Lin’s odd attire.

"I have a brother who has been passing through Purple Cloud City these past few days and is staying here."

Murong Ziyue glanced at Taoyao Pavilion’s golden signboard and frowned with apparent disdain.

Xin Lin made an "I understand" expression.

"Then I won’t disturb your sibling reunion. I’ve been learning culinary arts here these past days. Here, I just finished making this, it’s not pretty but tastes good!"

Xin Lin, regardless of whether Murong Ziyue was willing, stuffed two hot steamed buns into her hands.

Xin Lin noticed that Murong Ziyue seemed unable to see the little wooden box in her hands.

This relieved Xin Lin.

It meant that the clandestine observer couldn’t see it either.

It seemed, aside from the Pride Corpse, no one had ever noticed the existence of the Heaven-defying Book.

The reason why the Pride Corpse could find it, probably had to do with the fact that the Heaven-defying Book had absorbed the essence of the Fuxi Pill.

Murong Ziyue was startled for a moment, looking at the large steamed bun in her hand.

Xin Lin took the opportunity to bid farewell.

Murong Ziyue, contemplative, gazed at the large steamed bun in her hand.

She pursed her lips, her teeth as white and small as seashells, and bit into the bun with caution.

The taste was a mix of freshness, saltiness, and sweetness, with hot gravy flooding into her mouth.

Murong Ziyue inhaled sharply, sticking out her tongue slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Delicious, it was the first steamed bun she had ever eaten.
