Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1197: The Moonlight Shines Bright

The group walked along, chatting and laughing, getting a better understanding of Nine Serenities’ character.

A purebred foodie who could be wooed home with good eats, the type that could be lured away with a sausage.

Staring at the empty ground in front of them, Luo Qianqian was first taken aback, then turned to Nine Serenities with an excited face: ”Is this the entrance?”

The ground before them wasn’t soil or gravel, but rather like metal, reflecting a brilliant sheen. Yet, when stepping on it, you could feel the softness and smoothness through your shoes, with a texture like silk.

But when you try hard to dodge, you can feel the hardness of the ground, unlike the initial softness when stepping on it.

Squatting down in confusion, there was a cool texture, making it somewhat unbelievable for a moment.

If this was liquid, it would be understandable, but this is clearly a solid, yet it behaves like a non-Newtonian liquid, exhibiting two different states under force.

But clearly, it’s a whole solid, somewhat like a waterbed, with an outer layer wrapping an inner layer of non-Newtonian fluid.

”This should be the Land of Light.” Yan mused, squatting down to touch the ground, with a few moments of realization on his face, he said softly.

”Land of Light? What’s that?” Luo Qianqian promptly asked, embracing a spirit of inquiry without shame.

Yan glanced around; besides them, there was no one else, slightly frowning: ”The Land of Light is a legendary land that absorbs light. Even in the darkness, it can emit a glow. In the sunlight, it is soft like silk, but in the chill of the night, it is hard like metal.”

”Eh? Then why does it feel hard even when I stomp on it?” Luo Qianqian was a bit dumbfounded, could it really relate to illumination?

Yan glanced at Luo Qianqian and subtly moved his foot. After a moment, he said, ”Under your feet now should also be hard.”

Luo Qianqian paused, quickly shaking her shoes back and forth, realizing it was indeed true, the place under her feet was hard.

”Ah!” Luo Qianqian suddenly reacted, hopping onto the normal ground beside her with a fearful expression: ”Wouldn’t this double the radiation? And the speed of turning dark increases twice as fast?”

Though not understanding what radiation meant in Luo Qianqian’s words, upon hearing the words ’turning dark’, Nine Serenities quickly dashed to Luo Qianqian’s side, managing to strain her injury, causing her to grimace in pain.

”Girls after all.” Yan shrugged helplessly at the two: ”But indeed it’s a bit warm, let’s go rest on the side as well.”

The group moved aside, leaning against the surrounding large trees, quietly watching the Land of Light ahead.

It’s likely due to the Land of Light that the big trees here are obviously more flourishing, spreading branches and leaves with countless bifurcations, yet still very lush.

Huangfu Yihui sat aside, watching Nine Serenities lean against Luo Qianqian, pulling out something to lie on, chuckling: ”Nine Serenities, you’re always so careless about your image, be careful you don’t get spoiled.”

”As long as you spoil my sister, she’ll share the good eats with me.” Nine Serenities nonchalantly waved her hand.

Luo Qianqian was speechless; in the Royal Family, saying something like this, you’re truly too carefree.

For food? In the Royal Family, where’s anyone this simple? Such a person might easily get harmed in the Imperial Palace, right?

Just casually send some food, and this person would believe the other is a good person, and then send more drugged goodies...

Successfully removing a competitor.

With a light sigh, Luo Qianqian looked at Huangfu Yihui: ”Quickly take her away; for food, she could even sell me off.”

”Exactly, I wouldn’t.” Haan Yun quite agreeably nodded, muttering on the side: ”So instead of giving him those things, might as well give them to me.”

Giving it to you is even more wasteful.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes.

Huangfu Yihui, however, feigned disdain, looking at Haan Yun: ”Unfortunately, I don’t have that preference. Bringing you home, I’m afraid...”

”Who are you marrying?” Haan Yun suddenly flared up: ”I still want to take a wife!”

”Then why did you chime in? This is our family business.” Nine Serenities look of disdain lifted her head: ”Sister likes to pamper me, do you have a problem? If you’ve got the guts, become a girl too.”

”If I were a girl, what would that have to do with you?” Haan Yun retorted immediately, crossing his arms, edging out Tang Tianyi to nestle beside Luo Qianqian: ”Shiqi, if I were a girl, wouldn’t I look better than this Little One?”

Luo Qianqian glanced at him twice: ”For the sake of your hair, I could give you three stars.”

”Hmph, see?” Haan Yun proudly raised his eyebrows at Nine Serenities: ”Come on, hand over the snacks that Shiqi secretly gave you, you agreed to bet and must accept to lose!”

Nine Serenities wasn’t in a hurry, pulling out chocolate, reluctantly: ”Then, sister, how many stars do I have?”

Luo Qianqian’s mouth curved into a smile: ”That call of sister is worth at least five stars, right?”

”Hahaha, hand over your snacks!” Nine Serenities immediately put away the chocolate, eyeing Haan Yun’s bag with bad intentions.

The next second, Haan Yun hopped onto a tree, muttering reluctantly: ”No matter how you see it, I look much better than the little girl.”

Nine Serenities suddenly wasn’t happy, pouting, almost on the verge of tears.

Without hesitation, Luo Qianqian said: ”Rest assured, no matter how you look at it, Brother Huang wouldn’t fancy someone like you, right?” As she spoke, she winked at Huangfu Yihui.

”Exactly.” Huangfu Yihui promptly nodded in assurance: ”Someone like that isn’t even worthy of serving you.”

”Exactly, our Nine Serenities wouldn’t want someone like him to wait on her, right?” Luo Qianqian nodded quickly.

Seeing Luo Qianqian and Huangfu Yihui cooperating to coax Nine Serenities, Tang Tianyi looked rather helpless, but if it were up to him to do this, he indeed couldn’t manage.

The sun gradually set in the west, the sky rapidly losing its bright hues with a fleeting red glow, and before the night completely descended, a crescent moon appeared clearly, not too dazzling yet distinctly visible.

”It’s getting dark.” Luo Qianqian stood up, stretched lazily, looking up at the crescent moon: ”Somehow, the moon now looks like a banana, not just in color but also in shape.”

”Sister, you’re wrong; the moon now looks like a bun with a big bite taken by Haan Yun, with just a tiny bit left.” Nine Serenities also looked up at the sky, blinking her eyes.

Haan Yun nearly fell from the tree.

Isn’t it just because he said one word about being a girl looking more attractive than Nine Serenities? Is there a need to go head-to-head over it?

And for the moon bitten by him, how big is his mouth supposed to be?

No, actually, how big is the bun supposed to be...
