The surroundings were pitch black, and if it weren't for the slight flickering of two candlelights, it would be almost difficult to see clearly the surrounding environment.
There are weird walls on all sides, trapping Bai Mo and Yang Xiaowan in this small space.
After listening to Yang Xiaowan's words, Bai Mo felt helpless and sighed: "How long has it been, how can you still care about life and death..."
He could clearly sense that the ground was shaking quite badly just now, and it was very likely that an earthquake had occurred.
Although the shaking is not continuing now, there is no telling when there will be aftershocks. For safety reasons, they need to leave this place as soon as possible.
"This...Ms. Yang, let's find a way to get out of here quickly. There is no need to continue playing."
Yang Xiaowan was silent for a long time and did not answer for a long time.
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment. Just when he was wondering if he had said something wrong, the other party finally spoke.
"My husband really hates slaves."
Her tone was soft and her emotions could not be heard. She seemed to be asking or reminding herself.
Bai Moxin asked why this girl suddenly said this, and hesitated: "Of course hate doesn't count..."
"Does that mean you don't like it anymore?"
"If you're asking that, of course you don't like it. How long have we known each other..."
Bai Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Even if it's acting, I don't have acting skills like yours. I can be affectionate towards people in minutes, and..."
"Acting skills..." Yang Xiaowan chuckled and asked, "And what?"
"And you've always been wearing a red hijab. I don't even know what you look like. It's just like online dating..."
"Although I don't know what online dating means, it's not the slave's fault. It's clearly my husband who has been unwilling to take off the slave's hijab." Yang Xiaowan said aggrievedly.
Bai Mo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case...
But now was not the time to care about this at all. He spoke faster and said, "Don't let the topic go astray. The most important thing is to get out of here right now."
He looked worried and said to himself: "I don't know where the others are..."
As he spoke, he stood up and groped around the walls that looked like they were woven with hair.
However, he touched around and couldn't find the door.
It seems that as early as the beginning, there was no thought of designing a door in this place. There were only cold and solid walls on all sides. It seemed that it was really a "cage".
He remembered the word that Yang Xiaoguan had just mentioned, and thought that the other party might know something, so he walked over and asked: "You know where this place is, right? Is there any secret passage here?"
The latter seemed to look at him for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "The slave family said that the cage has no exit."
As he spoke, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Bai Mo's heart tightened and he had a headache: "It's started again. Let's look for it together."
"No need, at most there will be no more than one stick of incense before one of the living candles and the dead candles burns out. By then, no matter which one burns out, the cage will be opened."
So outrageous?
Bai Mo looked at the two big red candles that were burning slowly, and his expression suddenly became strange: "Is it possible that this earthquake was caused by you? Are we still in the script?"
Yang Xiaowan smiled: "My husband clearly knows everything, so why bother asking?"
Bai Mo said blankly: "I know everything well..."
Yang Xiaowan did not answer, but said: "The three people just now were all wearing similar fancy clothes to my husband. I think my husband should know them, right?"
No, who is wearing the fancy clothes?
Bai Mo sighed slightly, thinking that this guy might be out of luck, so he replied: "You can barely say that."
The two candle flames on the Life and Death Candle are still weak, but the burning speed seems to have accelerated a bit.
Yang Xiaowan glanced over there, and then continued: "The Nu family guessed it right. Since you know each other, I think your husband must have heard about the Nu family, right?"
Bai Mo looked puzzled: "Have you heard anything?"
"Husband, you really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Yang Xiaowan thought for a while: "Then while there is still time, why not let the slave family tell her husband personally."
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, I have been your husband for so long, you have finally remembered to tell me the background of the story...
But the problem is...
Bad timing, right? There's an earthquake right now!
However, before he could speak, Yang Xiaowan spoke.
Her voice was originally beautiful, but now her tone seemed to be filled with reminiscence, as if she was really telling her past experiences, making people fall in unconsciously.
The story is not complicated, and can be summed up in just one sentence -
The story of a rich young lady who fights against gods but is defeated and eventually becomes a lost girl.
In the candlelight, Yang Xiaowan slowly spoke.
"From about the age of nine, everything in the slave family seems to have been arranged."
"Playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, court etiquette, warming wine and making tea, even washing and cooking... So the slave family has been taught everything a woman can do."
Decathlon!
Bai Mo listened quietly without speaking.
"Later I found out that the slave family was promised a marriage when they were nine years old, and the husband was a god. Since then, everyone has said that marrying a god is a blessing that the slave family cannot get in many lifetimes."
God?
Bai Mo was stunned. Is this the background of Xianxia?
Perhaps seeing his doubts, Yang Xiaowan explained: "The so-called gods are existences that transcend mortals. No one has seen them, but no one dares to say that they do not exist."
"There is indeed divine power in this world, which can both bless all living beings and bring disasters. No matter who it is, as long as they follow the miracles, they will be protected by the gods. And Nujia is the wife chosen by the gods in a miracle.
"
"He calls himself the God of Desire, also known as the God of Destiny."
"The slave family was still curious about why everything in the family has been getting better since I was nine years old: my father rose to prominence, my eldest brother was highly regarded by the king, and everyone greeted me with a smile... I later found out that this was all because of
Because the slave’s husband is a god, everything comes from his protection.”
Bai Mo learned from the other party that the so-called miracles are actually rows of writing that occasionally appear in the sky, and everything the gods need is clearly written on them.
Everyone believed deeply in the gods, and when they saw the miracle that the gods would marry Yang Xiaowan when she was eighteen years old, everyone was shocked -
Because this is the first time that such a miracle of naming a person has occurred!
In the past it was all things, but this time it was people.
People can't help but wonder, since the gods are so supreme, then...as the wife of the gods, how high will Yang Xiaowan's status be in the future?
So...as her relative, it's not too much to increase her status by a hundred million points, right?
As her good friend, it’s reasonable to barely get some light from her, right?
As a citizen of the same country as her, there is nothing wrong with living a well-off life, right?
As her king, no one will dare to say anything if they gasp loudly during meetings in the future, right?
On that day, everyone had the same idea, that is, could they use Yang Xiaowan to see the true face of the god?
Therefore, the king of Chen State at that time, who was Yang Xiaowan's king, used almost the entire country to prepare for Yang Xiaowan's wedding. He even built the extremely luxurious Yang Mansion as Yang Xiaowan's future wedding room.
Yang Xiaowan's parents tried every means to let her learn various skills in the hope of pleasing the gods. They even taught the young girl early on about things in the house.
Everyone has strong expectations for this grand wedding, and they naturally ignore the feelings of one person -
Yang Xiaowan.
She is not willing to be the bride of the gods.
"Although the slave family has seen several miracles, they have never believed in gods. If there are gods in the world, how can there be so many injustices in the world?"
Yang Xiaowan said, "More than that, the Nu family also doesn't want the person they will spend their whole lives with in the future to be someone they have never met and don't know their nature, so they don't want to get married to a so-called god."
Bai Mo nodded secretly, not bad, not bad, breaking feudalism and still having independent opinions, this is the independent woman in the new era!
To be continued...
