Chapter 41 Choice
In an instant, Jiang Yuan thought a lot. If Miaomiaolou really changed his mind, how should she go to the Moon Palace?
Mao Kui picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "The wooden sign with words is a rule set by the building. I have no right to change it..."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Mao Kui's next words made her heart hang in the balance again.
"But, when the rules were announced just now, no one said how long Meow Meow Building had to wait to complete the requirements. Do you think you can wait for one year, two years, or ten years?"
Mao Kui looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed, as if he could see through her cloak and see her panic and helplessness at the moment.
Jiang Yuan's thoughts were in a mess, but she finally calmed down. She looked at the fearless Mao Kui and suddenly smiled and said, "How long I can wait depends on how long the land and sea barrier can last, right? Sister, do you think I can wait for one year, two years, or ten years?"
After returning Mao Kui's words intact, Jiang Yuan's eyes showed a little more fearlessness.
It was the living beings here who asked her for help, so she shouldn't panic, let alone be at a loss. At least she had a clear conscience and was justified!
Mao Kui stared at Jiang Yuan for a long time, and finally gave in. He waved his hand and said, "I really misjudged you."
This little kid is obedient and quick-witted, but he can hurt people's hearts.
Mao Kui sighed, and suddenly changed his lazy attitude. He said seriously, "I won't tease you anymore. What you want is for me to take you to the Moon Palace!"
Seeing that she had guessed her purpose, Jiang Yuan quickly recalled what she had just said. Realizing that she had exposed her identity, she couldn't help feeling annoyed. However, seeing that Mao Kui didn't ask any more questions, she hesitated for a moment and didn't take the initiative to bring up the topic again.
In response to Mao Kui's question, she just nodded and said, "Yes, I heard from the demon that if you come to Moon Bay for fun and don't go to the Moon Palace, it would be a wasted trip..."
Under Mao Kui's half-smiley gaze, Jiang Yuan's face, which was covered by the cloak, turned slightly red, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "So, please take us there."
"Since this is what you want... the day after tomorrow morning, go and wait for me outside the green bamboo forest!"
In the green bamboo forest, there is a teleportation array that is known to everyone to reach the Moon Palace. However, because it is guarded by servants, ordinary monsters cannot approach it easily.
Jiang Yuan didn't ask why they had to wait until the day after tomorrow. She guessed it was related to the explosion from the Moon Palace. After thinking for a while and making sure there was nothing else, she said to Mao Kui, "If you have nothing else to do, can you send me out?"
"The door is behind you, just push it open." Mao Kui held the teacup with a comfortable look on his face, and said to Jiang Yuan, "Going upstairs is difficult, but going downstairs is easy. I have helped you take the difficult step, but you should experience the easy step yourself!"
Jiang Yuan always felt that there was another meaning hidden in Mao Kui's words, but she thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. It was not convenient for her to stay here any longer at night, so she bowed to Mao Kui and said goodbye.
She turned around and a wooden door suddenly floated towards her and stopped in front of her. Jiang Yuan remembered Mao Kui's words, so she tentatively reached out and pushed the wooden door.
After the wooden door was pushed open, she could see the scene outside the door carefully. She was still in the attic, but...
She thought of the backyard and plants she had just seen, and even the sunflower that could be used as a chair. She turned her head to make sure that everything she had just seen was not an illusion. She sighed in her heart, "The demon world is so magical," and then she raised her right foot and prepared to step over the wooden door.
But just as her right foot landed on the ground, she heard the lazy voice of the cat again: "By the way, let me give you a piece of advice. In a place where monsters come and go, it is best for you not to disguise yourself."
"I……"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Just when she wanted to ask for clarification, she turned around and found that the door took a step back and closed immediately. Jiang Yuan: "..."
She actually felt a hint of disgust towards a door?
Jiang Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. She raised her hand, then put it down again as if she had thought of something, and said to herself, "Forget it. I'll just give Sister Mao Kui some face and not bother with you."
As she walked down the stairs, she thought: It's over, Sister Maokui must be angry!
In fact, both Elder Jinchun and Big Cat had warned her that there were always evil-hearted monsters in this world, and if she was targeted by those monsters, troubles would ensue.
It's like a shrimp, which is obviously a water creature, but wants to steal the treasure of the rabbit tribe, and even slaughters the entire rabbit village; and the explosion sounded from the Moon Palace tonight...
Therefore, hiding her identity was the only plan that could ensure her safety, but Mao Kui's last words also echoed in her ears.
Should I continue to hide my identity? Or should I stop pretending?
She scratched her head, struggling for a long time, and finally sighed, put her hands down, and the hands on her waist gently pulled the cloak on both sides.
When she let go of her hand, her eyes gradually became firm, as if she had made some kind of decision...
In the room, Mao Kui looked at the image in the bronze mirror, taking in all of Jiang Yuan's emotional changes and small movements after she left the room. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly and chuckled, "You lose. She hasn't even reached the first floor yet, and she's already figured it out."
The little table next to him looked distressed because of losing the bet. He couldn't help jumping up and down and asked in a very childish voice: "Master, didn't you just say that she looked stupid and stupid, and it was hard for her to figure things out all of a sudden?"
It was precisely because it believed Mao Kui's evaluation that it chose the option "Without his companions to comfort him, Jiang Yuan will definitely fall into endless entanglement."
As a result, it actually lost!
Mao Kui glanced at it and said, "Are you only listening to half of what I say?"
She clearly praised Jiang Yuan several times!
The little table said in an aggrieved tone: "I thought you didn't have the heart to hit the child, so you deliberately said something to comfort her."
The tray flew up and down in the air, and with a joyful tone, he said, "The table lost well, the master is still the best!"
After saying that, Tray turned his body towards Mao Kui and asked, "But Master, I still don't understand, why are we trying to persuade her to stop pretending when other monsters have clearly told her to hide her identity?"
The teapot seemed to understand its master's heart best, and replied in a delicate voice: "Of course it's because more and more monsters know of her existence, so it's no longer necessary to hide her identity. The more she is exposed to the monsters, the safer she will be when all the monsters are watching her. The most important point is that no one else is wearing a cloak except her. Isn't this attracting more attention from the monsters... Master, am I right?"
Seeing the teapot blushing and shyly asking for praise, Mao Kui nodded and said, "You said it very well."
But she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Oh, right, I remember the rumor I heard before, that eating the flesh and blood of the savior can make you immortal, how come it has now become that eating her flesh and blood can make you become a god?"
Suddenly I remembered a sentence: Your face is as red as a teapot bubble!
