Chapter 158: Traveling through the Third Life Together
When Mu Xiaoqiao opened her eyes again, she felt that she was still in a familiar embrace, just like when she woke up every morning. She rubbed her eyebrows and decided to sleep a little longer. It was time to rest today.
She turned over and huddled her body against Ruan Haoyu's, with her face on his chest, ready to sleep for a while longer.
The person next to her also woke up and hugged her tightly.
Wait, that's not right. Mu Xiaoqiao gradually came to her senses. Last night...last night the Dragon Soaring Picture was not...
She sat up suddenly, startling Ruan Haoyu beside her. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, "Amu, take a rest today and sleep more... Amu, why is your hair getting longer?"
Ruan Haoyu stared at Mu Xiaoqiao's back, feeling a little strange. How come her hair had grown so much longer in just one night? And it had become straight?
When Mu Xiaoqiao heard this, her guess was confirmed and she sighed helplessly. This situation was already familiar to her, but it was likely to be a huge shock to Ruan Haoyu.
She turned around and looked at Ruan Haoyu, whose hair was almost as long as hers, and smiled weakly, "Because... we traveled through time."
It was not until an hour later that Ruan Haoyu finally accepted the fact that they had traveled through time together. Mu Xiaoqiao also told him about her own experiences and her confirmed guesses.
On every full-moon night, Longtengtu will take the people around him through their past lives. In this past life, they cannot change their fate and can only understand everything that happened to them in their past lives from the perspective of an observer.
As for the opportunity to go back, naturally, one needs to find the Dragon Map and come to the full moon night. However, there is one thing Mu Xiaoqiao did not say, that is, every time he goes back, it seems that Ruan Haoyu of that life has died.
And Ruan Haoyu died to save her in every life.
This time, the two of them came together... I wonder if anything will change?
Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, they can't change their fate, so just wait and see.
"Then... Amu, do we have to stay here from now on?" Ruan Haoyu still found it hard to accept and asked with lingering fear.
Mu Xiaoqiao nodded helplessly, "Yes, we must find the Dragon Map first before we can go back. We don't even know what our identities are yet."
According to convention, the memories of this life should appear in their minds, and then they will only have consciousness but cannot control their bodies. However, this time it seems that time has passed a little longer and they still have no memory of it.
The two fell silent at the same time, waiting to receive the memories of this life. Mu Xiaoqiao was a little bored and looked around the room.
This is a luxuriously decorated room. The bed should be made of sandalwood, and a faint sandalwood scent can be smelled in the nose. The quilt covering the two people is light and soft, and it is actually woven with silk. The hollow carved windows let in mottled and fragmented sunlight. Under the window, rice paper and an inkstone are placed on the rosewood table. The inkstone is also an extraordinary piece.
"It seems that our family is quite rich." Mu Xiaoqiao admired sincerely.
"Amu, do you think I'm some kind of royal noble?" Ruan Haoyu seemed a little excited at this time.
"I don't know. Anyway, you were a prince in your first life. By the way, didn't you say that Aunt Ruan's ancestors were also from the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty? Maybe you are a prince again this time?"
Mu Xiaoqiao took another look at the layout of the room and said hesitantly, "But this doesn't seem to be a palace either."
"Or, are we wandering outside? Or, are we a pair of wild lovers making love in an inn? At worst, a brothel?"
Mu Xiaoqiao punched him right in the nose, "Have you read too many scripts? Wild mandarin ducks, brothels, are you thinking of finding someone else?"
Ruan Haoyu covered his nose and shook his head desperately, "I have a bad wife at home, I dare not."
"Bang!" A loud kick on the door startled the two of them, who both sat up and pulled up the quilt. They looked like an adulterous couple caught in bed.
"Mu Xiaoqiao, you little bitch, you dare to seduce my husband, I wonder if you are tired of living?"
Before she could react, Mu Xiaoqiao was pulled to the ground with great force, and then someone kicked her hard, making her feel as if all her internal organs were displaced.
The woman kicked Mu Xiaoqiao once. When she wanted to kick him again, Ruan Haoyu had already reacted. He pushed the sturdy woman back two or three steps and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Ruan Haoyu, you actually protected this bitch?"
Ruan Haoyu carefully helped Mu Xiaoqiao up, rubbed her chest, and asked her in a low voice how she was. Mu Xiaoqiao shook her head, her face turned pale with pain.
Seeing her like this, Ruan Haoyu was furious. He raised his head and said to the sturdy woman, "Apologize!"
The woman looked at Ruan Haoyu in disbelief and exclaimed, "You want me to apologize to this bitch? Ruan Haoyu, are you out of your mind? Do you still know your identity?"
Ruan Haoyu didn't want to care about that at the moment, and just said coldly: "I don't care about your status. You hurt her and humiliated her. You must apologize, otherwise, I will never let it go!"
He protects Mu Xiaoqiao like the apple of his eye all day long, so how could he allow others to trample on her like this?
"Ruan~Hao~Yu!"
The woman was almost mad with anger. "You are just a hostage of an enemy country. If it weren't for my father protecting you and marrying me to you, you would have been killed by the emperor long ago. How can you still hang out with a maid here? You actually asked me to apologize to this lowly woman. Bah, does she deserve it?"
Mu Xiaoqiao rubbed his chest and looked at Ruan Haoyu. This time he understood, the two of them seemed to be in a more miserable situation this time. One was a hostage and the other was a maid. It was obvious that they had no power or influence from these identities. The key point was that Ruan Haoyu's words came true - he really had a bad wife at home!
But the good thing is that this time it seems that the two are no longer bystanders, but real time travelers who can control this body.
But the downside is that I don’t have the original owner’s memory, and I know nothing about this place. I have to rely on myself to improvise everything.
Thinking of this, Ruan Haoyu coughed softly, "Since you and I hate each other, why don't we go our separate ways? I won't waste your youth, and I hope you will remain free."
That's what the old saying goes. I'm not used to such a refined way of speaking, but it seems that the lines in the costume dramas that were filmed before were similar to this.
But the woman exploded when she heard it. She pointed a chubby finger at Ruan Haoyu, her lips trembling with anger, "Ruan Haoyu, you want to divorce me for this bitch?"
Ruan Haoyu pondered for a moment and realized that in ancient times, men could unilaterally declare divorce. This made things easier, so he immediately said confidently, "That's right, I want to divorce you!"
