Dark clouds are roaming over the group as they return to Qian Gu Villa.
The sixth prince simply looked devastated while the empress appears murderous as black shadow hovers on her face.
As servants, they are overly conscious of their masters' moods and emotion. Chest fallen, they somehow even forgotten where to out their hands properly.
"Fur is a good material for coats," Wei Lian narrates slowly. "These games have nice furs that young masters could brag about. They are relatively easy to hunt as well. Definitely a good memorabilia for the likes of them."
Tang Mei's lips twitched. He meant easier for them to gang up to, right? Third young master is definitely mocking them for hunting games that generally won't fight back a human.
"Nobles tend to illegally move these certain type of games out of their natural home and put here at Thousand Miles Mountain. As you see, they turn up overly numbered that there is no need for tracking."
"A well-scripted drama then," Wei Yi Yi mumbled under her breath.
The more she listened, the more this resembles a lecture. This person that she met for the very first time is trying to make her ears bleed! And in her standard, he's doing a great job on it!
He Lian! This is definitely you incarnated!
"A secret as open as this should be considered as general knowledge."
Slowly and ever so discreetly, the twin's eyes crossed before turning them to their master.
'Wangye definitely knows! Why else would he be extremely excited to get a prey (the fish) and confidently wait for the 'rat' to fell on his so-called 'trap'?!'
With a stoic face, Wei Lian gave a sideways gaze at Wei Yi Yi who's guard is wide open. "At this point, I really don't know if you are brave or death seeking is your natural ability. Which, in my utter belief, is a very idiotic talent."
"Ha-ha!" Wei Yi Yi laughs dryly. "I think it's a natural talent that runs in the family!"
"True enough," Wei Lian unexpectedly agreed. Tang Mei nearly kneel and surrender to this another great elder.
"If I'm allowed to say, your majesty," Wei Lian continued with a sudden respectful tone. It's a short-lived one though as his next words clearly cut off Wei Yi Yi before she could give permission. "If you are that scared, you should have not taken a stroll in the forest. Brawling your eyes out like that is... Ugly---"
"Hey!"
"---I can't even find a better word to use. It was straight out and undeniably ugly. Did you not even thought for a moment how hard that few second is for me, your brother? I needed to instantly decide whether I comfort you or deny any relationship with you in that split second."
"I'm not scared! I'm mad!" Wei Yi Yi snapped. She utterly wanted to wipe out that memory out of everyone's head. "My feeling may look hurt but I'm just frustrated that I couldn't kick you till you roll over!"
She kept crying that it's embarrassing now! Wei Lian even said she's growing backward!
I must train my mind once more to take control of my emotion. Before she realized it, her emotions are all over the place and it's not even funny anymore. Just straight out frustrating.
"Please be clear, empress. What are you mad about? I have no recollection of saying you appear to be hurt. I'm sure you did cry though but still, your response didn't make sense to me."
Wei Yi Yi closed her eyes and massaged her temples. "Argh. Sorry, wait a moment. Reality just went 'broke' to me."
She didn't know where to start copping up at this point. Fiction is supposed to be fiction, yet, she's experiencing those fictions in her reality.
Damn it! In her Highschool form, she should have written that she wanted to be an assassin! Or maybe a military doctor! If she knew this is her future, she might as well enrolled in culinary!
Her long years of reading is useless as those cold-blooded MCs is not a good reference material for this. They were like 'Oh a new environment! Let's be at the top of the food chain'.
Why isn't there anyone married, have kids, or families they needed to come home to?!
After being here, she realized transmigration is like having your all acquaintances murdered and with you as the sole survivor.
They are not here. And you can no longer see them. Exactly like they all died. But then it was worse than that. Because they do not exist here. As if they weren't born at all. So now it's just you alone to mourn them.
And then...
Then she's here, facing that 'dead' friend.
Of course, she's more than delighted to meet him. There's so many resembles and so much familiarities that there's no telling them apart.
But now everything is straight out confusing.
Should she just accept that she's---
"What kind of monologue are you having? Look at where you are stepping. Tang Mei is having a scared with you like this and I can't take it." Wei Lian snapped his finger loudly in her ears.
"..." Wei Yi Yi. "You really have a lot to say, huh?"
Wei Lian shrugged. "It's nothing new that you didn't know. I have a lot of thoughts going on in my head and there's only a handful that I could converse with. Just to be clear, Yi Yi barely qualifies as a conversation partner. It so happened that I no longer have a choice."
"And what exactly are the choices?"
"You and then talking to a wall..."
