Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1351 - 1331: The Necklace Named Netherworld
"Leaving tonight?" Luo Xinyue asked helplessly, still chasing for a confirmation.
Luo Qianqian nodded naturally, "Didn’t you watch me book the ticket?"
Luo Xinyue looked at Luo Qianqian with resignation, "Then come back soon, this is a birthday gift."
Luo Qianqian’s expression turned strange, "Didn’t you just give me one when we cut the cake?"
"Yeah, but here’s another one, isn’t that good?" Luo Xinyue smiled and patted Luo Qianqian on the shoulder, "My girl is all grown up now, your father is so pleased."
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes dramatically, watching her father leave the study before she opened the gift box.
A note fell out, with flowing handwriting: Adult gift, happy birthday.
Upon opening the box, there lay a dark black necklace quietly inside. The pendant’s diamond-shaped gemstone’s material was unrecognizable, yet it captivated the onlooker’s eye.
But on the box, there were two large characters: Netherworld.
Luo Qianqian took a deep breath and closed the gift box quickly, "This wasn’t from Dad..."
However, Luo Xinyue had already left and didn’t hear this sentence...
Netherworld, huh? Luo Qianqian couldn’t bring herself to smile, but was lost in thought.
Later that night, they appeared at the airport, Luo Qianqian’s necklace hidden beneath her simple and flowing black dress. Holding An Hao’s little hand, she boarded the plane calmly. An Hao, during his last flight, was still a child and didn’t remember much, consistently showing a curious attitude, leaning against the window, eyes wide with wonder.
The four young men were equally astonished, whispering to Luo Qianqian, "Where’s the chicken?"
Wasn’t it just said that this big thing was called a Flying Chicken?
For a moment, Luo Qianqian didn’t know how to explain that an airplane wasn’t a flying chicken. Apparently, not everyone could accept new things as quickly as she could.
"Qhianqhian, if I become a burden to you, just send me back," He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian earnestly and said seriously.
Luo Qianqian’s lips curled up, "Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. We are good friends, after all."
He Wenyu’s face showed gratitude, yet his gaze quickly fell on Luo Qianqian’s neck, "When did you... start wearing a necklace?"
Back there, she rarely wore anything around her neck; after all... the clothes covered the neck, and wearing something seemed unnecessary and burdensome.
"Yeah, birthday present." Luo Qianqian instinctively covered the necklace on her neck with her palm, then pulled up the corners of her mouth into an inscrutable smile.
"Speaking of which, you’ve never seemed to take off those things on your wrists and ankles." He Wenyu looked at the dazzling silver ring, closely fitting Luo Qianqian’s skin, wondering how it was worn in the first place.
"Oh, this..." Luo Qianqian instinctively raised her wrist and smiled, "This was a gift from someone else, it helps with my cultivation."
Although she was coerced into wearing it...
"Sister, I can’t see anything anymore..." At the airport, there were still lights outside, but once airborne, they were gone.
"Mhm, try to return during the daytime when we come back." Luo Qianqian gently ruffled An Hao’s short hair, smiling with warmth across her face, "An Hao, take a nap, I’ll wake you when we arrive." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Okay." An Hao obediently closed his eyes.
However, even after deplaning, this little buddy was still asleep, so Luo Qianqian had to carry him off, emitting soft snores, with a small smile on his lips, as if having a sweet dream.
After checking into the hotel, Luo Qianqian reminded them multiple times on how to use the room, warning strongly against any destruction before finally stepping out of the two rooms, looking back repeatedly.
An Hao shared a bed with her, the three standard rooms perfectly accommodating the six adults.
Early the next morning, An Hao finally awoke, seeing the two elder sisters already washed and standing gracefully by the bed, momentarily stunned, "Are we here?"
"Yes, little lazy pig." Luo Qianqian looked at An Hao’s bewildered big eyes and waved him over with a smile, "Come, sister will take you to wash up."
She wouldn’t expose her identity unnecessarily, nor casually utilize the world’s energy, lest some big figure indeed saw through their identities, it wouldn’t be a blessing.
After washing up, they met the other four to have a meal, fortunately, breakfast was also served buffet style. Otherwise, with such diverse tastes, she really wouldn’t know what to choose.
Once satiated, seven people checked out and exited the hotel as if sightseeing, but were unexpectedly stopped right outside.
Luo Qianqian quietly observed the others, frowning.
"Sister, they’re so pale, even paler than you." An Hao exclaimed, full of surprise.
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes helplessly; their complexion was naturally different from ours, what else do you expect, if she were so pale, she surely bleached herself.
"But they look like bad guys." An Hao looked at the other party’s eyes, nodding affirmatively.
Luo Qianqian agreed, this was an obvious issue.
He Wenyu, even in another world, was dragged to set an example and study, English naturally being a compulsory course, not to mention An Hao attending a bilingual kindergarten.
During usual lessons, they could only speak English, otherwise, Luo Shufan feigned misunderstanding, forcing the children to adapt.
"Let’s go quickly..." He Wenyu felt uneasy, tightly frowning.
"Please come with us." As expected, the other party spoke in English, and Luo Qianqian wasn’t surprised, the clueless four contrasted sharply with the understanding three.
"What are these people babbling about?" Huangfu Yihui frowned slightly, truly unable to comprehend.
"Asking us to go with them, probably like your guard." Luo Qianqian answered calmly.
He Wenyu frowned tightly, "They don’t seem like good people, let’s just move on?"
"I’m afraid we can’t." Luo Qianqian motioned around with her eyes.
At some point, the surrounding was devoid of other people, the once bustling street now only left with them; not even a bystander was in sight.
At this moment, Luo Qianqian longed for the aunties who danced on the square; how wonderful it would be to dance in an empty place like this!
They could watch the excitement, instead of letting their living selves be taken away like this.
After a moment of silence, Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrows, "We’re busy, talk after we’re done having fun."
"Take them away." Who knew the other party paid no mind to Luo Qianqian’s attitude, calmly stating.
Watching the people ignoring their will, Luo Qianqian frowned deeply, wanting to speak, eyes flickering with anger, she took a deep breath once more.
A fair arm pulled back the agitated Yann Yao behind, "Relax, we’re out on tourist visas, we can’t stay long anyway." Luo Qianqian looked at the few people opposite, repeating it in English with a bright smile.
