CHAPTER 547: CHAPTER 320: OH, IT’S STILL AN ACQUAINTANCE_3

As for the person who intercepted him, seems to be an acquaintance...

Zhang Ze looked up at the sky and then at Xiangfei, who intercepted him, feeling somewhat speechless.

Zhang Ze was somewhat accustomed to meeting acquaintances, but why was it this person?

Xiangfei in front of Zhang Ze was none other than the Stone Girl Xiaoxuan.

The Stone Girl whom Zhang Ze had dug out from the underground palace near the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, now the head of the Black Tower research at Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, the core of the Stone Man network in the Sea of Stone, and the only champion of wheelchair races.

She was locked in the underground palace by the last Emperor of Dongqi, imprisoned for ten thousand years. Yet, because of that underground palace, she avoided the major battle in Central Continent.

Zhang Ze learned the term Heavenly Destiny People from her, and became entangled with these matters ever since.

And now, all these affairs have come full circle back to where they started.

However, at this moment, this girl who looked exactly like Xiaoxuan was not in the later generations’ stone-like appearance.

She was now a flesh-and-blood, living person, able to speak, eat candy, and was respectfully called Xiangfei.

It’s unclear whether Xiangfei turned into a stone statue, or Xiaoxuan was sculpted into Xiangfei.

"This candy is delicious, do you have more?" Xiangfei asked.

"Yes, of course I do, I’ll give you this whole bag."

With that, Zhang Ze took out a small cloth pouch from his bosom and gently tossed it into Xiaoxuan’s palm.

"Thank you."

Sitting in a wooden wheelchair, Xiangfei smiled happily at Zhang Ze.

Although to some extent it’s a hellish joke, but nowadays Xiaoxuan, the future nine-time champion of the Thousand Mechanism Town wheelchair races, had a chronic illness and could only move around in a wheelchair.

"You are quite interesting, Junior Eunuch, um, when things settle, I’ll ask the two grandpas to bring you to work by my side...

"Of course, of course it’s just talk, no need to actually work, I can do many things myself, you just need to occasionally play with me.

"By the way, I can even ask the Imperial Physician to heal your hand, your hand must have become like this from years of washing clothes, I remember my aunt’s hand was the same."

Xiangfei chewed on the candy, fantasizing about her future life and making promises she imagined.

"By the way, are you here all alone?" Zhang Ze asked, looking at the tall red walls around.

"Hmm, just me alone, but occasionally palace maids come to bring some Pill Medicine and Talismans, I rely on those Talismans to take care of myself."

As Xiangfei spoke, she took out a stack of Talismans from the hidden compartment of her wheelchair, introducing them to Zhang Ze one by one.

"This one can make the body and clothes clean, this one can repel mosquitoes, this one is a Talisman that makes Pill Medicine taste good, but it’s almost used up... hehe.

"I thought you came to deliver Talismans to me, that’s why I pulled you in, didn’t expect to pull the wrong person... but your candies are more delicious than the taste created by those Talismans."

"By the way, who was the palace maid that delivered Talismans to you before? Will she come today?" Zhang Ze suddenly asked.

Xiangfei shook her head, "I don’t know, it’s never the same person each time, and they don’t talk to me."

Zhang Ze looked at the innocent Xiangfei, thinking that those maids have probably been silenced.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze looked up at the sky again, wondering if he would also be silenced, but he recalled Lu Chen’s promise to protect him, and felt relieved.

Moreover, Zhang Ze’s intuition told him that the secret behind Xiangfei likely related to the Human Emperor Banner, perhaps even the secrets of this Illusion Realm.

Since he got here by a stroke of luck, there was naturally no reason to leave.

Xiangfei just finished the candy in her mouth at that moment, but she didn’t continue eating, instead carefully stashing the remaining candies away.

Then she looked at Zhang Ze with anticipation, "Can you play with me for a while? Just for a while before you leave. I’m usually quite bored alone."

Zhang Ze, "So what do you usually play alone?"

Xiangfei, "Digging dirt, then put the dirt back, or counting clouds in the sky."

Zhang Ze, "..."

He paused, thinking this was truly a deep-seated hobby.

"I’ll teach you something fun." Zhang Ze stood up and walked towards Xiangfei.

"What’s fun? More interesting than digging dirt?"

"Much more interesting than digging dirt."

With that, Zhang Ze pulled Xiangfei up from the wheelchair...

"This game is called playing soccer."
