CH 98.1

Of course Lin Xinghe knew that those were all poems that praised the beauty of women’s hands, but why was Xie Wuan suddenly thinking of them?

Her eyes met Xie Wuan’s.

His eyes darkened.

Unexpectedly, he began to recite poetry again in his heart——

“The water is the wave of the eyes, and the mountains are the peaks of the eyebrows.”

“The phoenix eyes are half-curved and drowning in amber, and the crimson lips are dotted with cherries.”

“No, Lin Xinghe does not have phoenix eyes, but almond eyes.”

“Almond eyes are half-curved and drowning in amber, and the crimson lips are dotted with cherries.”

After more than ten seconds, he recited poetry again. This time it was—

“Rosy lips and pearly teeth, face as beautiful as the most well-crafted jade.”

Lin Xinghe knew that she was good-looking, but even after living for such a long time, no man had really praised her facial features so much. She was suddenly lost for words.

She really didn’t expect Xie Wuan to be a chatterbox and a literate youth!

Lin Xinghe coughed lightly and said, “Xianjun, I…”

It was also at this time that Xiao Xue Ji interrupted Lin Xinghe because she wanted to come out. Xiao Xue Ji loved her portable space at first sight. Lin Xinghewas worried that Xiao Xue Ji would feel that the space was too narrow and boring, so she even reserved a nursery room for Xiao Xue Ji in the penthouse. But she didn’t expect that Xiao Xue Ji would crawl into the portable space whenever she felt tired.

Sometimes she would spend a whole day in the portable space.

Lin Xinghe occasionally peered in with her consciousness to see what Xiao Xue Ji was doing inside.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xue Ji was reading a book.

The collection of books she collected from the mermaid city lord plus the books she collected from Emperor Fengdu added up to more than a hundred books, all of which were piled in the portable space.

Xiao Xue Ji seemed fascinated.

At first, Lin Xinghe thought that Xiao Xue Ji was an ignorant and innocent little girl, but now that she thought about it, she had been alive with the snow maiden for hundreds or even thousands of years. Although she lost all her memories after following her out of the exam room, in essence, Xiao Xue Ji was likely a remarkable paper insert character.

But it didn’t matter if she were a person or a ghost, good or bad, to Lin Xinghe, Xiao Xue Ji was just Xiao Xue Ji, a daughter-like existence.

Xiao Xue Ji was released.

She was wearing a small dress and stretched her legs. As soon as she came out, she grabbed Lin Xinghe’s trouser legs, yawned, and called out softly, “Mommy.”

Seeing Xie Wuan, she let go of Lin Xinghe and jumped over on her little short legs to grab Xie Wuan’s trouser legs. She called out in the same soft voice, “Uncle Xianjun.”

Xiao Xue Ji used to be most familiar with Jiuge and Fu Zhou because Jiuge kept petting her, stroking her cat body, scratching her head, and giving her interesting magic props now and then. As for Fu Zhou, he would often let Leiting out to play with her.

But now she was most familiar with Xie Wuan. This was the friendship that came from eating hot pot!

Lin Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

After Xiao Xue Ji came out, Xie Wuan finally stopped his literary youth behavior. He had just changed from reciting poetry to writing poetry. And these poems weren’t implicit like the ancient literature but rather easy-to-understand poems praising her directly. He even praised her organs and inferred that she had very healthy and excellent lungs through her standard long, impassioned speeches.

At this time, Jiuge and Fu Zhou also returned.

Both of them were slightly taken aback when they saw the huge egg.

Lin Xinghe told them the details.

Jiuge said, “So this egg is the owner of this land?”

Lin Xinghe said, “Yes.”

Fu Zhou asked, “It will take ten years for it to break out of its shell?”

Lin Xinghe nodded.

Fu Zhou said, “It’s impossible for us to stay in this exam room for ten years, right? There are still three exam rooms after! After ten years, the audience will probably be gone.” After a while, Fu Zhou said again, “It doesn’t make sense, the blooming of the seeds of hell has nothing to do with this egg, right? It only has to do with our ghost employees.”

Fu Zhou still didn’t know what the blooming method of the seeds of hell was or what it had to do with the fifty ghost employees. He even wanted to put a ghost employee into the grid of the sunflower fountain to see if it could become a seed, but it was practically impossible. He tricked a ghost employee onto the sunflower grid just now, but unfortunately it was of no use.

Jiuge and Fu Zhou were both observing the egg.

Fu Zhou tapped it, retracted his fingers, and said, “Incubating eggs artificially?”

Lin Xinghe said, “In the records, it is said that it would take three hundred and sixty years to absorb the essence it needs. If the egg absorbs enough essence, it should crack itself…”

Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe added, “But I think I can take a risk and open this egg directly. It has fed for 350 years and worst case will be born prematurely.”

At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji suddenly squeezed in front of the egg.

She stretched out a tender white finger and poked the eggshell.

Immediately, she turned into a green snake and coiled around the egg.
