ch 171 – The Experiment Was Successful; Wandered Into Thieves’ Den (4)
Qing Zhu and Lu Zhu accepted the water bottle from Cheng Xiao Xiao. They exchanged a look with each other and, seeing that their Mistress had already started drinking her water, could wait no more with their now burning throats. They quickly twisted open the bottle and started gulping down the water.
The three of them each drank over half a bottle of their water right away. The nice, cool mystical water immediately made them feel better. Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them; then, she said to the seemingly somewhat saavy Qing Zhu, “Were you worry that I have poisoned the water?”
“I….” Being seen through by his Mistress, Qing Zhu’s entire face turned beet red instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, “Qing Zhu’s life belongs to Mistress. If Mistress wants Qing Zhu to be alive, Qing Zhu dare not die; if Mistress wants Qing Zhu dies, Qing Zhu dare not live.”
His words made Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows. She glanced over at Lu Zhu; it was apparently that little girl Lu Zhu was frightened.
The pale little girl saw her Mistress looking at her and, with a trembling voice, said, “Mistress, Lu Zhu is the same way as Qing Zhu. I will always obey my Mistress and never betry her!”
“Okay, don’t you worry. I have no interest in taking your lives. Quite contrary, I would like you to stay by my side from now on and work for me. Why would I want to take your lifes?”
Qing Zhu and Lu Zhu finally relaxed after hearing that; they really thought their Mistress wanted to keep them earlier. They had apparently worried too much.
Cheng Xiao Xiao secretly find their nervousness amusing. It looked that these two valued their lives quite a bit.
“I am going to take you two to a place in a little bit. This place belongs only to me, and only I know about it. But since I have bought you, naturally I will see you as one of my own. But you must remember, anything you see at this place, you can never share with anyone. That includes your family, or even your spouses or kids after you have grown up. Do you understanding?”
Looking at Cheng Xiao Xiao’s serious look, the two, still holding the water bottles, nodded simultaneously.
“Okay, since you promised me, you must keep your words. If you share my secret with anyone else, I will kill you. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Mistress, Qing Zhu understood!”
“Mistress, Lu Zhu understood too!”
Replied the two of them. Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and asked again, “What if someone else is going to kill you?”
“Not even then!”
“Yes, even if they are going to kill me, I won’t say a word!”
Even though the two had no idea what was this place that Cheng Xiao Xiao was talking about, but they could tell that it was a very important place for their Mistress. They have decided that they would guard this secret with their lives.
Regardless of whether they could truly keep their words or not, but for time being, Cheng Xiao Xiao was pleased with their looks and attitudes. “Okay, I want you to close your eyes. Keep them closed, I am going to take you to a place right away, okay?”
“Yes, Mistress!”
The two kids closed their eyes obediently. Seeming worried that they might accidentally open their eyes, they squeezed their eyes shut tightly. They looked both cute and funny like that.
Cheng Xiao Xiao tried not to laugh and, after communicating with Yuteng, shouted softly, “Collect!”
The three of them, including Cheng Xiao Xiao, were immediately brought inside the dimension. Cheng Xiao Xiao saw the two kids appearing in front of the cottage, still holding the water bottles in their hands with their eyes squeezed shut, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but laughed, “Okay, you can open your eyes now.”
Hearing their command, Qing Zhu and Lu Zhu slowly opened their eyes. When they saw that the scenery was entirely different from where they were earlier, their little faces couldn’t help but filled with surprise!
