I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 540 - 506: Reunion

Until one day...

Shi Shi remembered it was a violent rainstorm that day.

She was searching for a large tree or a cave to take shelter from the rain.

But suddenly, a little boy, seemingly three to five years older than herself, appeared in front of her.

He looked like a girl.

His clothes were ridiculously exquisite, adorned with gold and silver threads and embellished with gems and agates.

Blushing and fiddling with his sleeves, he behaved in a shy, effeminate manner.

After stuttering for a long time, Shi Shi finally understood. Was this kid inviting her to his house as a guest?

How could Shi Shi agree to that?

With such a boy, not even comparable to her father, Shi Shi wouldn’t even spare him a glance.

The rejected boy didn’t leave; he silently followed right behind Shi Shi.

Finally, unable to bear it anymore, Shi Shi, without a word, picked up a nearby stone and fiercely beat the boy.

If it weren’t for the incredibly powerful couple who descended from the sky when things looked bad.

Now, this boy would probably be six months old...

In the end, Shi Shi was coerced into following the couple and their son to this castle.

The power within the couple made Shi Shi feel utterly hopeless.

This feeling was even stronger than the shrew her father had struggled to kill.

Even, Shi Shi felt that Jiang Xiao would be no match for the couple.

Fortunately.

The castle wasn’t very far from where she had initially been; if her father came, he should be able to find her.

Moreover, Shi Shi also realized.

The powerful couple had no real interest in her.

It was just their effeminate son who liked her.

Keeping her confined probably was to fulfill their son’s wishes.

If he dared to force himself on her, she would ensure he could never be a man again!

This was what Shi Shi always reminded herself.

As the saying goes, "I desire, what use is this iron rod?"

Luckily...

This little boy, known as Count Salagis, seemed not to wish to force himself on her.

Instead, he tried to "melt her with love."

Naturally, the result was that he failed every time.

And amid being repeatedly humiliated by Shi Shi, this guy seemed to have even developed a masochistic streak...

Gradually, life became mundane.

Though it seemed unfree in the castle, don’t forget, Shi Shi herself had drawn her own limits initially, not daring to venture far from her foothold.

She also had been homeless, sleeping on the ground, saying she was like a little cavewoman wasn’t an exaggeration. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

If Shi Shi continued to live wildly outside.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if Jiang Xiao saw her, he might have been so shocked that he could have attacked immediately...

Now, swapped for a grand castle, using the costliest food, attended by the most considerate servants, wearing the most beautiful clothes.

Even the material of the luxury bed was unknown, offering an incredibly comfortable sleep every time.

Why would she need anything else?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Count Salagis, Count Salagis and his parents were preparing for dinner.

"Father, Mother, Shi Shi... she doesn’t want to dine with us."

Count Salagis’s tone was filled with dejection.

Count Salagis Senior, with a stern face, didn’t speak, quietly cutting the steak on his plate.

As for the Countess, she spoke with a stern face.

"A wild child, though her appearance is passable, it doesn’t change the fact of her lowly lineage!"

At this moment, the Count also spoke.

"Gis, that little savage, just play with her, but don’t take it seriously. Our family’s bloodline cannot be tainted."

It was only because the young Count was still young that the couple could indulge him in being a lapdog.

Otherwise, they would have gotten rid of that wild child long ago.

A prince falling in love with Cinderella?

Sorry, that only happens in fairy tales.

In reality, the woman their son would marry could not be much weaker than their family’s bloodline, certainly not a wildling like Shi Shi!

"Father, I am well aware. I just find the wildling somewhat special. Every time I see her, I can’t help myself..."

"Hehe, I had forgotten, our little Gis is not so young anymore. If you would like, your father and I could get some potion for you, just mix it into the wildling’s food, and then you can do whatever you want with her..."

When Gis heard this, his face blushed. Though he did not agree, he did not refuse either, merely bowing his head and beginning to cut the steak in his bowl.

Wildling, that was their family’s private nickname for Shi Shi.

Just then, two servants outside hurried over with their heads bowed.

"Count, there’s someone outside claiming they have an appointment but... but they can’t produce an invitation."

Can’t produce an invitation?

The Count’s first reaction was that someone was impersonating someone else.

But on second thought, who would have the audacity?

This castle so oppressive, normal people would be scared off, wouldn’t they?

"Madam, I haven’t invited any friends over for dinner recently."

"My dear Count, I think I haven’t invited anyone either. You know I am always with you."

Both their gazes fell on Gis, but soon withdrew.

Their son had been infatuated with the wildling for the past few months and was unlikely to have made friends.

"Could it be a friend’s recommendation for nourishment?"

The Count thought it was possible; sometimes when full, they would recommend some decent nourishment to their friends.

Just having to tell these "nourishments" about a generous job offer would make them come running from miles away.

And since it wasn’t chosen by themselves but "gifted" by someone else, naturally, they couldn’t produce an invitation.

"Are those outside human?"

"Uh..." The two maids exchanged glances, then nodded: "Yes, they are human, but..."

"Go now, we’re still eating. Just confirm that he’s human, it can’t be wrong, let him in."

Emm...

The maids wanted to say this human looked like trouble, probably not the usual "nourishment."

But seeing the impatient look on the Countess’s face, they could only nod and retreat.

Anything more, and they would be facing the Count’s house rules...

Just as Jiang Xiao out front started to get impatient and considered forcing his way in, the two maids finally came out.

"Hello, our Count agrees to let you in."

"Good," Jiang Xiao nodded. Since they had taken care of Shi Shi for so long, not barging in was obviously the best choice.

Upon entering the main gate, what was introduced to his view was a resplendent grand hall.

"Wow..."

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

The decor, even compared to Steel Egg’s Romia Cathedral, seemed to be outclassed.

It wasn’t that the castle’s owner was richer than Steel Egg.

Mainly because a place like the cathedral, being too lavish in decor is not quite fitting.

As soon as he came in, Jiang Xiao keenly sensed a familiar presence and several other strong forces.

Hmm, are there any big cakes here?
