Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1238 - 1235_1

After Gong Zixuan and Shangguan Wanru left, Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi came out.

Seeing this, Li Guzi said: "Prince Rui, I’m relying on you to recover my 990,000 taels!"

Shangguan Xuanyi cast him a cold glance: "I’m not a debt collector!"

Xiao’er: "Isn’t it 980,000 taels? You’re trying to swindle us out of 10,000 taels?"

Li Guzi: "..."

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er quietly followed Gong Zixuan down the mountain.

After Shangguan Wanru and Gong Zixuan came down the mountain and got in the carriage, they left.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er followed them at a distance, wanting to see if Gu Xuan was with them and catch them all in one swoop!

The carriage stopped in front of a splendid mansion.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er watched from a distance without approaching.

After the two got out of the carriage and entered the house, Shangguan Xuanyi said, "Girl, I’ll go take a look. You wait here for me."

Xiao’er nodded, "Okay!"

Shangguan Xuanyi hadn’t gone far before he returned: "The manor is surrounded underground by a formation. Once anyone steps into it, the formation will be activated."

Hearing this, Xiao’er said: "Let’s send the golden python to investigate. We need to figure out what the formation is before we can go in."

If they triggered the formation by stepping inside, they would raise the alarm and scare them off.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

"Xiao Huang, it’s up to you! Go see what’s going on with that formation!"

The golden python nodded upon hearing this.

Xiao’er then released the golden python, which transformed into a golden needle and went underground.

Watching the disappearing small silhouette of the golden python, Xiao’er murmured: "Being a snake isn’t too bad, at least it can go underground."

Shangguan Xuanyi lifted his gaze from the ground, looking at the distant mansion, "No matter how good a snake is, humans are the real rulers!"

And he didn’t think that the skill of going underground was all that great!

"Master, there’s a tunnel below." The golden python’s voice soon appeared in Xiao’er’s mind.

A tunnel? Luckily they sent the golden python to investigate. Otherwise, if they had triggered the formation and were trapped, they would have given their targets a chance to escape. Finding them again would be much more difficult.

"Xiao Huang, do you know where the exit is?" Xiao’er asked in her mind.

If there was a tunnel, there must be an exit. If the formation was triggered from the surface, entering from underground wouldn’t set it off.

"Wait!" The golden python replied before falling silent.

Xiao’er didn’t press it further and instead turned to Shangguan Xuanyi:

"Brother Shangguan, there’s a tunnel under the mansion."

"A tunnel? Where’s the exit?" Asked Shangguan Xuanyi immediately upon hearing this.

"I don’t know yet."

After waiting a little while longer, the golden python reappeared from the ground.

"Did you find the exit?" As she saw it emerge, Xiao’er brought it back into the space.

"Found it," replied the golden python.

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er said to Shangguan Xuanyi: "Brother Shangguan, we found the exit. You go trigger the formation, and I’ll wait for you at the exit."

"Where is the exit?" Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t respond to Xiao’er’s statement immediately.

He wasn’t sure how proficient Gu Xuan was in martial arts and didn’t feel at ease leaving Xiao’er alone at the exit.

"Where is the exit?" Xiao’er asked the golden python again.

"In a brothel, one mile away."

That far? Xiao’er was a bit surprised upon hearing this, after all, digging a tunnel is not an easy task!

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao’er, awaiting her answer.

"In a brothel, one mile away."

"The exit is actually in a brothel?" Shangguan Xuanyi was a bit taken aback by this, but then he thought it was unexpected.

If he wanted to divert attention or escape, the brothel was a great choice. With the many rooms and people, anyone could hide in any room, making it difficult to find them.

"Indeed, it’s surprising! But it doesn’t really matter where the exit is, since it’s so far from here. Brother Shangguan, let’s go to the brothel together! Let’s go!" The excitement in Xiao’er’s voice could hardly be concealed. In her previous life, she had only seen brothels in historical dramas on television. Now that she’d been here for so long, she had been inside the imperial palace but never a brothel! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"....."

Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t move: what’s with this sudden excitement? If you didn’t know better, you’d think she wanted to go flower picking!

However, Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t say anything. Knowing she wouldn’t get what she wanted with him by her side, he kept quiet.

"Hurry up, Brother Shangguan! It’s getting dark!" Xiao’er urged, seeing that Shangguan Xuanyi was not moving.

Why the hurry? Shangguan Xuanyi gave Xiao’er a stare and said in annoyance: "We have to change our appearance first!"

Then they checked to make sure there was no one nearby, found a corner, and disappeared into the space.

Xiao’er imagined the women in the brothel throwing themselves at them like bees to honey.

How could she allow other women to lay hands on her man!

So, Xiao’er suggested: "Brother Shangguan, let me do your makeup! I guarantee no woman will dare to come near you!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t help but cheer up. He looked at Xiao’er with a half-smile: "So you don’t want other women to come near me? Then you’ve got to keep a close eye on me!"

Of course, she didn’t want other women to come near him, but she couldn’t admit that. Seeing how pleased he looked, Xiao’er rolled her eyes while applying his makeup: "Isn’t it because you don’t like to be approached by others? I just understand your habits."

Shangguan Xuanyi’s face darkened slightly upon hearing this: To him, disliking it and her not wanting it were two different concepts!

"Open your mouth!" Xiao’er ordered.

Shangguan Xuanyi obediently opened his mouth.

Xiao’er fetched a bottle from the space and used a cotton swab to paint Shangguan Xuanyi’s teeth yellow.

After painting his teeth yellow, Xiao’er didn’t think it was enough!

What if some brazen woman dares to kiss him? So she pulled out something else and painted two or three of Shangguan Xuanyi’s teeth black.

Shangguan Xuanyi let Xiao’er mess with him.

When she was done, Xiao’er instructed: "Smile."

Shangguan Xuanyi obediently smiled.

Xiao’er examined him, felt it was still lacking, and added a bit more to Shangguan Xuanyi’s face.

Soon, Xiao’er finished applying Shangguan Xuanyi’s makeup. It must be said that while it’s slightly difficult to make an ugly person look beautiful, it’s quite easy to make a beautiful person look ugly!

"Finish!" Xiao’er was very satisfied with Shangguan Xuanyi’s appearance. He looked hideous!

Shangguan Xuanyi took a look at his reflection. He was really ugly! But he let Xiao’er have her way. This would certainly save a lot of trouble and it was exactly what he wanted.

After finishing Shangguan Xuanyi’s makeup, Xiao’er started doing her own. Hmm, she looked a bit too plain right now. She needed to make herself look more manly to attract the ladies’ attention.

"Let me help you!" Shangguan Xuanyi volunteered.

"No need!" Xiao’er declined.

Shangguan Xuanyi observed as Xiao’er made herself look increasingly dashing, and his face darkened!
