Ye Jiushang brought Xue Fanxin back to the place where the crystal coffin was placed and returned the way they had come. In the cave, he opened the coffin lid from inside and let her leave first.
Xue Fanxin got out of the crystal coffin. Seeing that Ye Jiushang was still lying inside and looked weak, she thought that he would not be able to climb out. Hence, she reached out to him and said solemnly, “I’ll pull you out.”
Ye Jiushang used his last bit of strength to forcefully support himself. Revealing a gentle smile to Xue Fanxin, he said softly, “I want to sleep in the crystal coffin. After at most a month, I will wake up.”
“Are you going to sleep in the coffin again?”
She did not forget that when they first met, this guy had jumped out of the coffin and frightened her half to death. He had now returned to sleep in the coffin; he was really a strange guy.
However, this crystal coffin was different from ordinary coffins. There should be a secret to it.
“I know you have a lot of doubts now. I’ll explain them to you when I wake up.” Ye Jiushang could no longer hold on. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At the same time, the lid of the crystal coffin flew up and closed by itself. Following that, a mysterious purple light emerged from the crystal coffin and circled its corners as if it was sealing the crystal coffin. After finishing, it disappeared.
Then, the crystal coffin started to turn into stone. In a moment, the crystal coffin that was originally transparent turned into a seemingly ordinary large rock.
Xue Fanxin looked at the changes in front of her. From the automatically closing of the crystal coffin, to the appearance of the purple light, to the petrification of the crystal coffin, all of these wonders shocked her. She was filled with curiosity about this world.
This was such a colorful world, mysterious and profound. If one wanted to live here, though, they had to have strength first.
Only by being strong enough could one fulfill their dream.
“Ah Jiu, sleep here for a month. We’ll meet again after you wake up.” Xue Fanxin placed her hand on the crystal coffin that had already turned to stone and bade farewell to the person lying inside. She did not feel too much sorrow because she knew that they would meet again soon.
However, at the thought of not being able to see the person who would often suddenly appear by her side, tease her from time to time and help her, she really missed him a little!
“Awroo…” The little white tiger noticed Xue Fanxin staring blankly at a large rock without moving. Hence, it used its small claws to tug at her clothes and let out a soft, cute cry.
Xue Fanxin finally remembered that there was still this little thing. She bent down and picked it up, placing it in her arms and stroking its fur. “Little Tiger, are you sure you want to follow me?”
When Ye Jiushang had brought her to the crystal coffin just now, the little white tiger jumped in too. It tagged along wherever she went. It seemed like it wanted to follow her forever.
“Awroo…” The little white tiger nodded in response and rubbed its head against Xue Fanxin’s palm, acting cute.
“Alright, you can follow me from now on. I’ll take you to eat delicious food and live a good life.”
“Awroo…” Master, what is delicious food? Can it be eaten?
How could Xue Fanxin understand what the little white tiger was talking about? She carried it and walked out of the cave. When she reached the entrance, she turned back and took a few more looks before leaving reluctantly.
She could not wait in the cave for a month. Anyway, this place was not far from the Imperial City of the Nanling Empire. At most, she would come back every few days to take a look. She had to return to the Duke’s Estate to see how her grandfather was doing.. She had to see if the Nanling Emperor had taken the opportunity to cause trouble for her grandfather.
