CH 104.3

—————-

In the room, a man with red eyes stared at the burning painting and laughed freely.

“Hahaha, hahaha, dead, all dead! This way, no one will know that I have Xian Gu all to myself.”

“Xian Gu! My Immortal Fairy, you’re still mine. I’ll take you back now.”

Li Yuan, who had gone mad, held the portrait in his hand, still smelling of rhinoceros horn incense.

He held up the incense burner with rhinoceros horn incense and wobbled away from the room. He sang an out-of-tune rhyme as he walked, stumbling back to his house.

—————–

In the live broadcast room.

[??? What’s going on? Didn’t God Xin and the others leave through the door? Why didn’t they come out?]

[What the hell just happened? When the black screen was lifted, it was a sea of fire.]

[I think Li Yuan set fire to the painting from the outside. I think he saw the people in the painting and decided to burn it.]

[Fuck this nonsense. His heart’s desire Xian Gu was also inside, couldn’t he see it?]

[The figures are so small in the painting, he probably didn’t see her.]

[That may be the case. But wait, where the hell did God Xin and the others go?]

[Uh, maybe they jumped into Xian Gu’s painting? Wasn’t it said that the two paintings can communicate with each other when the rhinoceros horn incense is lit? 】

[Could the door Xia Chi found be wrong? He did not find the door to exit but found the door connecting the two paintings?]

[Wuuu, brother, I was wrong, I have caused you harm. Can you still come out of the painting?]

[… Is that, Xia Chi?]

[This unlucky child.]

[Am I the only one who worked up a sweat for those six soldiers? It scared the hell out of me. I was so nervous just watching.]

[I didn’t expect that NPCs in the copy could also be so humane, but luckily they were all okay in the end.]

[Yeah yeah. 】

————————

Bai Lixin’s thoughts were still stuck in the sky-high flame when his body suddenly sank, and he was suddenly enveloped by icy water.

He held his breath and opened his eyes. Below his feet were green water plants.

Someone touched his shoulder. Bai Lixin looked back and found it was Dijia. Behind Dijia were two soldiers.

In Dijia’s arms were the fox cubs, whose eyes were wide open.

There was no one else aside from them.

They nodded after glancing at each other, and all of them swam towards the top.

A few dozen seconds later, two splashes exploded out of the water, and they came out of the water dripping wet.

Bai Lixin found that this was an artificial lake and the surrounding scenery was very familiar. It was the Li residence.

One soldier pensively laid his whole body on the rock next to the artificial lake and let out a long sigh, “We’re finally here, great.”

The other soldier was a little more subtle. He sat cross-legged and wrung out the water from his clothes as he let out a bitter laugh, “*Drought dies from drought, and floods die from floods. I have almost burned to death a moment ago, and then I almost drowned. Today was too exciting, but I didn’t die. I must burn a long incense stick to my ancestors when I go home today and thank my eight generations of ancestors in heaven for protecting me.”

Bai Lixin could not bear to interrupt their beautiful dream, but still told the truth, “I am very sorry to tell you that we are still in a painting.”

The two soldiers’ smiles froze on their faces, and they shouted simultaneously, “What? How can it be?!”

The soldier who was lying down jumped up from the stone and pointed to the promenade and rockery on the far side of the artificial lake, “Look at this water and this rockery. These are at Lord Li’s house. How can we not be here!”

The other soldier was trembling as he spoke, “Madam, you are joking, right?”

Bai Lixin was pressing a fox cub’s stomach, and a small column of water came from the mouth.

When he was done with that one, he replaced it with another fox cub.

“The lotus blossoms in the water are not right,” Bai Lixin pointed out the location of the lotus blossoms. “The season in our reality is late summer and early autumn. The lotus blossoms are almost gone. These lotus blossoms are in full bloom.”

“Look at the leaves in the distance. They are a fresh brilliant green, not a dense dark green.”

“This shows it’s early summer here.” After being pressed, the four little foxes shook their heads and stood up. They walked a short distance to shake off the water on their bodies before slowly approaching Bai Lixin again.

Dijia was not idle either. While Bai Lixin was helping the fox cubs, he was patiently wringing the water off Bai Lixin.

The two soldiers followed the direction Bai Lixin was pointing and looked carefully. Then they looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other’s eyes

—Did you notice the details that the madam pointed out?

–I’m afraid that I didn’t notice anything at all.

–Help, me too.

–Let’s pretend we did, or we’ll look foolish in front of the two lords.

–You’re right.

The two men took a deep breath and nodded vigorously at Bai Lixin, “So that’s how it is! Madam is so smart!”

Bai Lixin: “……”

The sucking up is too fake, don’t act if you can’t act.

Acting is also about talent.

Just as the four people were figuring out where this place was, a voice suddenly came from behind them, “I finally found you!”

The people turned around and found it was Xian Gu.

Xian Gu haughtily stepped on a stone with one foot and said helplessly, “It was Li Yuan who set fire to the painting. What do you call this, *hunting geese all day long, but nearly getting pecked by the geese?”

“Li Yuan, that madman, he planned to burn you all in the painting just to get me?”

“Never mind, Li Yuan has already brought me back to his room. He has lit the rhinoceros horn incense and will call me out soon, I will try to delay the time for you guys, as you go find the ‘door’. This mansion is quite big, and you guys suddenly ran from the painting next to me so I don’t know where the door actually is.”

Bai Lixin: “Isn’t the door the place you are going to pass through when summoned?”

Xian Gu: “That’s different, I’m a ghost. You guys are human. The way to go from the painting is different. In my world, I can go in without a door, while you need to find the door to get out of here. ”

As she said this, a white mist suddenly began to gather around her body. “Look, he has begun to light the rhinoceros horn incense. I’ll go first. Just like in the painting before, the door will stay open for only an hour. But my painting also moves at a tenth of the time flow in reality, which means you actually have 10 hours to find the door.”

“Cheer up.”

After saying these words, Xian Gu’s body completely turned into a white mist and disappeared before their eyes.

S419M’s voice sounded in Bai Lixin’s mind: [Hahaha, Lord host, Xia Chi’s “flash of inspiration” was not working. In the end, you still find the door yourself. You are really unlucky ah].

Bai Lixin’s eyes became serious, “Do you really think that Xia Chi, no, it should be Tan Yue, got it wrong? 】

S419m: [Could it be on purpose?]

Bai Lixin: [Remember what we saw in the painting? We saw what happened that day when Lord Li went hunting.]

[We jumped through the door and came to Lord Li’s home. What if there is a scene replay? There should be a lot of secrets in Li’s house, right? 】

[Try to guess, if there is a scene replay, what do you think will be shown?]

S419M: [Uh, the real cause of Lord Li’s death?]

Bai Lixin: [It can’t be, the time isn’t right.]

S419m: [Then what is it? I can’t figure it out.]

Bai Lixin sneered: [Maybe it’s how the madam died.]

The escape system interjected: [That isn’t right either. Didn’t the madam die in winter?]

[It’s all hearsay, we haven’t seen it with our own eyes.] Bai Lixin laughed lightly, [just kidding, I’m talking nonsense. We’ll know what it is soon enough.]

Bai Lixin stood up from the stone. It was early summer, and the day was very warm, so their clothes had dried quickly.

“Let’s go, it’s useless just standing here is not useful.”

The group walked down the corridor, and the four fox cubs stumbled by Bai Lixin’s side.

As they walked, a figure came up to them.

The figure was thin and slim. It was none other than Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stopped walking and pointed at them: “You guys, today is the family banquet and you are still mulling? Hurry up and change your clothes! Don’t dawdle!”

The two soldiers looked back, and there was no one behind them.

“That means you guys, why are you turning around?”

Bai Lixin and Dijia looked at each other, both saw amazement in each other’s eyes.

Some of the stories were put in the form of images, so they could only watch, and not participate at all.

In this world, Li Yuan was actually looking at them.

What did this mean?

Did it mean that the story line of this world could be changed?

If the world in the painting was changed, could it affect reality?

One question after the other flew through the minds of the two men, but their faces were calm and expressionless.

Li Yuan saw that the people were not speaking and walked towards them. “Why are you wet? We don’t keep idle people here. Tonight, people from Meiyuan House came to sing to us, and it was the Madam’s favorite. Don’t embarrass the Li House!”

Meiyuan House? Madam?
