Chapter 9: Abandoned Trash!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Even though she no longer had any cultivation, Ye Qianli—who had a strong insight into the aura of the human body—could still determine from the ordinary aura emitted by these two old grannies… These two old grannies could not cultivate.

However, these two old slaves—who did not have much status in the crown prince’s residence—were not only sent here to guard Ye Qianli, but also dared to insult her with words!

Or disdain… Pity her.

What did this mean? It was very clear to Ye Qianli.

However, she was not angry. She still looked calmly at the old granny who mocked her. She watched how the latter humiliated her and told her to hang herself.

“What? Am I wrong?” The old granny was inexplicably flustered by how Ye Qianli stared at her and couldn’t help but exclaim in a loud voice.

“Do my father and my mother agree with these words you said?” Ye Qianli asked in reply.

“That…” The old granny wanted to say ‘of course’. She already heard the princess consort’s blatant words of scorn, but before she could finish speaking, she was pulled by her companion.

“Miss, the two of us are only following orders. Please cooperate and return to the room.” The other granny, who had stopped her companion, explained stiffly to Ye Qianli.

“…” Hearing this, Ye Qianli did not say anything else; neither did she look at these two old slaves. She only glanced into the distance out of the hall.

Then, without needing the two old slaves to say anything, she calmly turned around and returned to her room.

“Why did you stop me just now? Didn’t you see the look in her eyes? Does she still think that she’s the honorable eldest daughter of the family? How dare she look down on me?”

“Lower your voice. It’s true that Eldest Young Lady was abandoned by the prince and princess consort, but she is still our master after all. You and I should still behave ourselves. Don’t…”

After Ye Qianli closed the door, she could still clearly hear the discussion between the two old slaves. However, they quickly fell silent, presumably continuing to act blind, dumb, and deaf.

However, Ye Qianli did not mind. She already had her own plan. Although she seemed to be looking around casually just now, she was actually trying to confirm that the distance she could see with her right eye was really extraordinarily far!

Ye Qianli took a deep breath and focused her attention on her right eye. This time, even the dust at the furthest end of the hall appeared so clear in her eyes.

Buzz…

At the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her right eye again. A strange power slowly dissipated from her right eye. She felt her head swelling and buzzing as though she felt dizzy again.

However, this time, Ye Qianli—who was already prepared—did not allow herself to faint. She used a hairpin to stab at a hidden acupuncture point on her head.

At the next moment…!

Her vision blurred, or did she faint?

“…”

Ye Qianli stared blankly at the ‘gray’ patch in front of her. Then, she pinched herself to make sure that she did not faint.

However, she could not understand why she was seeing all these now.

“Let’s take a look first.” Although she did not know what was going on, Ye Qianli still carried the mindset that since she was already here, she should take things as they came. However, she quickly realized that other than the dust storm, there was nothing else.

Under her feet was the fine sand of the dust storm, and surrounding her was the air of the dust storm. Other than that, there was nothing…

“Hmm?”

However, just as Ye Qianli finished her conclusion, she saw a box-like object lying on the fine sand of the dust storm about ten meters ahead.

Ye Qianli walked closer and bent down to pick it up. She found that it was indeed a box. There were even decorative carvings on the surface of the box, although the patterns looked completely different from the exquisite ones. It looked like the work of a kindergarten child.

The box was only the size of her fist. After the fine dust was wiped away, it appeared dark black-red. Every side of it was filled with childish carvings. It was impossible to tell what exactly was carved either.

As she could not figure out the reason, Ye Qianli planned to put it away first and study it later. However, she heard a wailing sound as her fingertip was bitten by the box?!

“!”

Ye Qianli was stunned to see that this ordinary-looking box suddenly bit her index finger. The bite mark was in the shape of a steamed bun, and it even bit hard enough to the point of bleeding!

It hurt…

The box was even drinking her blood!

“What the h*ll!” In the face of this situation, Ye Qianli instinctively flung the box with all her might, hoping to shake off this strange box! However, of course, she could not shake it off anymore. It was just that…

“Primordial Magic Box… Acknowledging Master.”

However, there were five clear and big words that suddenly appeared in Ye Qianli’s mind. Following that, there were nine small words: “Primordial Magic Box… I will fulfill all your requests.”

“?”

Ye Qianli was really a little stunned by the sudden appearance of these words. However, she still instinctively tried to pry open the strange box on her finger.

This unknown object continued to suck on it!

No matter what logical deduction she made, this couldn’t be a good thing, right? However, no matter what she did, the other party still drank her blood without fail. She couldn’t get rid of it at all! This thing was more like leech than a real leech. She couldn’t pry it off.

“Since that’s the case…”

Seeing that this thing could not stop sucking blood, Ye Qianli’s eyes darkened. She was about to snap off her own finger.

However, the magic box let out a burping sound before letting go of her finger and slipping back into her pocket on its own…

“…”

Ye Qianli was at a loss for words. Especially when she flicked her sleeves in an attempt to throw this d*mn thing out, another line appeared in her mind: “Idiot, don’t disturb my sleep.”

“…”

So this box was communicating with her? And she was even being looked down upon as a fool?

“What exactly are you? Why did you suck my blood? Will you suck it again in the future?” Ye Qianli had no choice but to take a step back to communicate with it since she couldn’t get rid of this d*mn thing.

The magic box did not respond. Only when Ye Qianli started thinking that this thing would not respond did two words float into her mind: “I won’t.”

All right, what else could Ye Qianli say? She could only stand up silently. Hopefully, this d*mn thing would not suck blood again in the future. However…

“What do you mean by fulfilling all my requests? Also, if I’m your master now, do you have to do as I say?” Ye Qianli asked again.

However, there was no response from the magic box at all this time…

“Then, how am I going to get out of this place? Where is this place?” Ye Qianli was going crazy. What kind of situation had she encountered?!

Buzz…

However, as soon as her voice fell, she felt her vision blur once again. Then, she came to and had already ‘returned’ to Clear Wind Palace.

Ye Qianli flipped through her sleeves and realized that the fist-sized demonic box was still there. In other words, everything that she had seen and heard just now was true.

“I will fulfill all your requests. As long as you ask for help, I will help you.” A line of words appeared in Ye Qianli’s mind again.

“So when I wanted to come out just now, you let me out?”

“Yes.”

“Then, what was that place just now?”

“Ancient Battlefield.”

“…”

After Ye Qianli inquired about it carefully, she finally understood that the ‘world’ she saw just now really existed.

Not only that…!
