Chapter 99 Sensing Something's Wrong, Na'er's Choice
Looking at the dark bell that resembled a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and then thinking of Jiang Xiu's age, Na'er couldn't help but feel sorrowful, thinking, "People shouldn't, at least not..."
As Na'er's voice rang out, the room fell silent instantly. Jiang Xiu also saw Na'er standing at the door and was slightly taken aback.
When their eyes met, Jiang Xiu could see five parts disbelief, three parts sadness, and two parts anger in Na'er's beautiful eyes.
"Hmm? How does Na'er manage to have such a colorful gaze?" Jiang Xiu wondered to himself.
The dark bell leaned against the wooden door, her delicate body swaying. She looked at the two of them and seemed to understand something. A playful smile appeared on her lips.
"Ahem..." Jiang Xiu looked at Na'er, whose little mouth was pouting and who was about to turn into a steampunk fairy, coughed a few times, and then asked in confusion, "Na'er, what brings you here?"
He had no recollection of telling Na'er his location, or how she found it.
"If I hadn't come soon, my house would have been robbed..." the girl said angrily, but stopped halfway through, pointing her delicate finger angrily at the dark bell and asking, "Who is she?"
"I am..." Dark Bell's red lips curled slightly, her body leaned forward slightly, and her full chest stood up. She was about to say something when Jiang Xiu interrupted her.
"She is a distant cousin of mine. I came to Tiandou City this time to visit her."
Upon hearing this, Na'er was slightly taken aback. The complex emotions in her heart, like a gloomy cloud, instantly dissipated by half, but she still looked at it with disbelief and asked, "Is this true?"
"Of course, when has the boss ever lied to you?" Jiang Xiu said firmly, then walked over to Na'er, took her arm, and pulled her into the room as if he were coaxing Hajimi. "What are you doing standing at the door? Come in first."
After spending more than four years together, he knew Na'er's personality inside and out, and now he had to keep Na'er here.
"Na'er, how did you find this place? And you came all the way from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters." Jiang Xiu helped Na'er sit down on the sofa and asked softly with some concern.
Given Na'er's usual naive and simple-minded nature, it wouldn't be pleasant if something happened to her on the way.
"Hmph..." Sensing the concern in Jiang Xiu's tone, Na'er hummed twice and raised her head slightly. "Didn't I ask you to send me photos of food and scenery these past two days? It was so easy to find them."
She may seem silly at times, but she's actually incredibly shrewd.
"You two chat first, I'll go order some dinner outside." Dark Bell's dark red eyes flashed slightly as she looked at the two people on the sofa, and she chuckled softly.
She wasn't aiming for a quick victory. Now that she could see the relationship between Jiang Xiu and this girl was clearly unusual, she decided to avoid confrontation for now and make a plan after she understood the situation better.
With that in mind, Dark Bell opened the door and left, leaving Jiang Xiu and Na'er alone.
"Boss, is this really your sister?" After Dark Bell left, Na'er approached Jiang Xiu and asked suspiciously.
"My cousin's older sister." Jiang Xiu nodded very seriously.
Although Na'er was filled with doubts, she had to suppress them for the time being and observe secretly later.
"By the way, did you tell Aunt Leng that you came out?" Jiang Xiu asked softly, as if remembering something.
"Of course, when Master heard I was coming to see you, he agreed without hesitation." Na'er nodded, but suddenly her pert nostrils twitched slightly as she sniffed Jiang Xiu, "Boss, you smell so good!"
"..." Jiang Xiu was taken aback, and his gaze turned to Na'er with a strange look.
"No, no..." Na'er realized she had said something shocking, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "I meant, the soap you're using smells really nice."
But the shock in Na'er's beautiful eyes grew deeper and deeper, even containing a strong sense of disbelief. She actually sensed the aura of the Golden Dragon King's origin on her boss!
But shouldn't the Golden Dragon King's essence reside in that guy named Tang Wulin?
During Jiang Xiu's absence, something significant must have happened that she was unaware of!
Seeing that Na'er looked a little lost, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly stood up and said, "Na'er, let me help you tidy up your room first. You can stay here tonight; it's quite spacious."
"Oh, okay." Na'er was in a state of confusion at the moment, and nodded instinctively, without even looking up when Jiang Xiu walked into the room.
In the spacious living room, Na'er was left alone, sitting blankly on the sofa, her beautiful eyes flashing with shock and struggle.
"Na'er, some things simply cannot be hidden, and ultimately it is up to you to make the decision." Jiang Xiu sighed softly as he gently closed the door, thinking to himself.
The fact that he possessed the essence of the Golden Dragon King could not possibly escape Na'er's perception, because the power of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King originated from the same source.
Therefore, although he believed in their four years together and in Na'er, ultimately it was up to Na'er to make her choice.
Outside the window, the sun was gradually setting in the west, casting its last rays upon the world. The wine-red sunset shone through the glass, illuminating the somewhat dim room.
The silent room was as if day and night were separated, with one side dark and the other bright.
A wall separates two people with different thoughts.
"How could this happen? How could the Golden Dragon King's essence appear on Boss? This is practically a death warrant!" Na'er said anxiously in the dim shadows.
She knew very well what the Golden Dragon King represented: a power that was both tyrannical and brutal, a good thing and a bad thing. If Jiang Xiu made a mistake, or if the seal malfunctioned, Jiang Xiu would be reduced to ashes in an instant under this immense power.
"And then there's Gu Yue. If Gu Yue finds out that the Golden Dragon King's essence is on the boss, she'll definitely stop at nothing to snatch it. No! Maybe she already knows!" Na'er shook her head irritably as Gu Yue's image appeared in her mind.
She had asked Gu Yue to send people to protect Jiang Xiu's safety, so Gu Yue must have known about what happened to Jiang Xiu before she did.
Na'er's pretty face contorted in distress. "Ah! This shouldn't have happened. Now, there's no way for our boss to escape this dangerous vortex."
Na'er was lost in thought, but all her thoughts were about Jiang Xiu's safety. She didn't realize that she had absolutely no desire for the Golden Dragon King's essence within Jiang Xiu...
As time passed, the setting sun sank endlessly below the window, and the remaining afterglow gradually dimmed. The light in the room slowly diminished, until only a small patch remained, clinging tightly to the windowsill, as if it would disappear completely at any moment, plunging the room into endless darkness.
"call!"
Just then, Na'er took a deep breath, all the thoughts in her beautiful eyes disappeared, leaving only a determined look. She then stood up and walked towards Jiang Xiu's room.
