Qi Chen Xuan continued with a stern face, his gaze sharp: “Then tell me, why are you in the palace?”
“You really want to know?”
I couldn’t help but hesitate, wondering whether to tell him the truth that I’m not actually me! I didn’t know if he would believe or think I’m crazy when hearing about soul transmigration!
Qi Chen Xuan, seeing no further explanation, impatiently gave me a sideways glance and urged: “Are you going to say something or not?”
“Okay, okay!”
Facing his unpredictable personality, I could only innocently curl my lips: “Since you want to know, I’ll tell you! But you must first promise not to doubt the truth of what I’m saying, because what I’m telling you is 100% fact, yet something that sounds unbelievable!”
“Get to the point!” he coldly spoke again.
Although I was upset inside, I obediently answered: “Actually, my name is Fei Xiao Ran. To be precise, my body is called Yan Xi Mo, and my soul is called Fei Xiao Ran!”
“I come from the 21st century. Because I was struck by lightning while riding a Ferris wheel, my soul transmigrated here, possessing Yan Xi Mo’s body and becoming a small palace maid in the laundry department!”
“I know this sounds unbelievable to anyone, but it actually happened to me. The reason I’m eager to leave the royal mansion is to find a way to return to the modern era!”
I finished speaking in one breath, then carefully observed his reaction: “Hey, you’ll believe me, right?”
Unexpectedly, he responded expressionlessly: “How ridiculous! Since you say you were struck by lightning to get here, why bother looking for a way back? Why not just get struck by lightning again?”
I couldn’t help but mumble: “I’d love to, but there’s nowhere high enough around here…”
Unexpectedly, that guy coldly spoke: “Back then, the former emperor, in order to make a beautiful woman smile, spared no expense and hired over a thousand craftsmen to build a Star-Picking Tower about a hundred stories high on the western mountain top of the capital!”
Star-Picking Tower?
I instinctively looked up and gazed westward, and indeed, a tall tower could be vaguely seen piercing the clouds.
But why would this guy tell me this?
