CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 505: IN THE CASTLE OF THE MIDDLE AGES

Inhumane hobby?

Jiang Xiao laughed. He was not afraid that the person facing him was a pervert; he feared they might be too normal, making it difficult for him to make his move.

"Do I still seem inhumane after having just slaughtered nearly a thousand passengers?"

[Well, not exactly...]

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xiao then stepped through the portal in front of him.

Only after Jiang Xiao had completely disappeared did a sigh echo through the white barrier.

...

As Jiang Xiao’s consciousness gradually cleared.

He also made out his surroundings.

It didn’t take much thought.

Shi Shi was definitely inside the enormous castle right in front of him.

However, the castle felt a bit strange.

It had all the qualities a castle should have: antiquity, solidity.

Yet, the pitch-black walls paired with some crimson decorations made the castle seem somewhat eerie.

As for the atmosphere...

Jiang Xiao could confirm that it was not bizarre.

But the vibe it gave off was still exceptionally chilly.

"I guess this ’Prince’ is no good either."

He looked around at the surroundings once more.

The castle in front of him seemed to be the only building in sight.

Beyond it was an entire forest.

Countless towering trees tightly concealed the castle, stretching out for who knows how many miles.

Quite interesting~

It seems the castle’s owner doesn’t want their information known to the public.

Clearing his throat, Jiang Xiao straightened his attire.

After all, the person did own a castle and had taken care of Shi Shi for so long; he had to pay some respect to the etiquette.

Hm?

As he got closer,

Jiang Xiao noticed that there were actually people guarding the castle gate.

Two silver-haired girls in white maid outfits.

Top-notch!

Even though Jiang Xiao was not interested in women, his sense of aesthetics was still spot on.

This was the quintessential maid out of a two-dimensional world!

White stockings, Mary Jane shoes, fluffy black and white skirts...

Seeing Jiang Xiao, a flash of surprise crossed the maids’ faces, but it was quickly replaced by a warm smile.

The maids bowed, revealing a deep cleavage, and then politely asked,

"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"

"Yes," Jiang Xiao replied politely.

"Alright, could you please show us the invitation?"

"What?"

"The invitation, sir?"

"I don’t have that kind of thing."

"But, sir, you just said you have an appointment, right..."

"Yes."

"So, where is your invitation?"

"I do have an appointment, but I don’t have an invitation. Is there a problem?"

Having an appointment ≠ Having an invitation

Doing math with a formula certainly speeds things up!

Ah, this...

The maids glanced at each other, both seeing the deep confusion in the other’s eyes.

They didn’t suspect that Jiang Xiao was lying.

After all, any normal person would avoid such a creepy, isolated castle in the wilderness like the plague; who would come here joking around so brazenly?

Anyone who comes of their own accord would have an appointment and an invitation.

Of course, except those who were abducted by their master.

But here was this man claiming he had an appointment yet he couldn’t produce—or even didn’t know what—an invitation was, leaving the maids baffled.

"Why don’t you go in and announce our arrival?"

"Why should it be me? Why don’t you go in?"

Both servants, unsure which of them should enter, hesitated because their master was notoriously temperamental, and neither wanted to take the initiative.

"Are you done? I’ve been polite enough, so I advise you not to waste my time."

Jiang Xiao, impatient, exuded a unique and fearsome aura.

Moreover, the bloody scent from a recent slaughter of nearly a thousand people made it even more terrifying.

The two maids did not dare delay.

"We, we will go and announce you right now!"

With that, they hurriedly rushed into the castle.

.....

"Little Shi Shi, did the meal suit your taste today?"

A young man in an elegant evening suit leaned down and asked a girl whose beautiful face could not be dimmed by her pale complexion.

"It was okay, just a bit mild since there weren’t enough chilies."

The girl, dressed in a white dress and looking cute as a princess, responded.

Hearing this, the young man immediately looked panicked and hurriedly promised to have the servants remake the meal, intending to fire... dismiss the chef!

He initially wanted to kill the chef, but remembering Shi Shi’s dislike for violence, he changed it to dismissing him.

"There’s no need; the food is quite tasty. It’s just my personal preference for stronger flavors."

"No! Your taste is perfect! It is definitely the chef’s fault. Since you don’t want him dismissed, I’ll have him write a ten-thousand-word self-criticism!"

Oh dear!

Day by day, Shi Shi was growing sick of this obsequious fool!

"Can’t you be normal for once? We’re just having a meal here, man. You have ancestry from London, right?"

"Ah?" The Prince was taken aback, then vigorously shook his head, indicating he had no idea what London was and that he was of pure noble descent.

"Not from London? So why the nonsense?"

Prince:.....

Did Shi Shi just scold him again?

Oh yeah~

So thrilling!

Shi Shi had scolded him again!

A surge of immense pleasure rushed from the Prince’s lower abdomen to the crown of his head!

Absolutely exhilarating!

Watching the Prince turn ecstatic just from a casual rebuke, Shi Shi felt nauseous.

She wanted to slap him but feared he might take the chance to lick her hand.

Besides, the more she hit him, the more he seemed to enjoy it...

"Shi Shi, my parents have a family dinner tonight; do you think you can make it..."

"Not convenient, you can get lost, thank you."

"Alright!"

Being scolded twice by Shi Shi in just a minute, with one "nonsense" and one "get lost," greatly satisfied the Prince!

That’s the feeling—absolutely exhilarating!

After the Prince left, Shi Shi couldn’t help but sigh.

This life...

Really was quite boring~

For how long?

Shi Shi was young and had no real concept of time, only knowing it had been a very long time...

Since she woke up, opened her eyes again, and found herself from the village into the forest outside.

Initially, she was a bit scared...

But soon she figured it must have been because her father and Kaidan had made a deal that she inexplicably left her village.

Luckily, unlike Xi Tang and the others, her powers were intact.

Yet, she faced the same dilemma as Xi Tang and her peers.

Should she stay in the same spot waiting for Jiang Xiao to find her?

Everyone else did that, fearing Jiang Xiao wouldn’t find them otherwise.

But Shi Shi’s corner was a vast forest, not to mention the presence of mosquitoes, snakes, and ants nearby.

And the damp, disgusting environment was unbearable for most people.

Just this.

Despite that, Shi Shi decided not to leave. She planned to drink dew when thirsty and eat wild animals when hungry.

With her powers, she was bound to live more comfortably than Sun Wei and the others.
