Chapter 81 A fallen noble lady massages my shoulders and legs just to get a piece of peach blossom c
A blinding golden beam of light tore through the night sky of Qingshui County, and the tremors of the entire Asian tectonic plate caused the fruit plate on the white jade table to bounce twice.
Xia Anran clung tightly to Lin Xian's arm, her face pale with fright, as if some man-eating cosmic beast might emerge from underground.
Lin Xian leaned against the zero-gravity waterbed, his mind-controlled helmet not even sending out a single alarm signal, remaining calm as if nothing had happened.
He yawned with a grape-sweet smell, casually patted Xia Anran on the back, indicating that the little girl could relax.
This is not the end of the world at all; it's just that tectonic activity happened to activate an ancient teleportation array buried deep in the back mountains.
The golden beam of light rapidly contracted in mid-air, and the spatial barrier was forcibly torn open by a powerful, unknown force, leaving an irregular, pitch-black crack.
With a panicked scream, a dark figure fell out of the spatial rift and landed squarely in the mutated peach blossom forest in the backyard.
After breaking more than a dozen thick peach tree branches, the dark figure crashed heavily onto the constant-temperature lawn, raising a shower of pink peach blossoms.
Lin Xian, wearing 9.9 yuan flip-flops and with his hands in the pockets of his floral shorts, slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.
A young girl dressed in an elaborate European-style court dress lay sprawled on the lawn, the hem of her dress torn to shreds by the spatial turbulence and covered in charred marks.
Her once meticulously styled golden curly hair now looked like a bird's nest on her head, with two fresh peach petals stuck in it.
The girl's name is Victoria, and she is the most illustrious hereditary noble lady in a magical continent in another world.
Her family was caught in a coup, and in order to escape, she had no choice but to activate her ancestral interdimensional teleportation scroll, which led her to this strange world.
Despite the excruciating pain of her bones feeling like they were about to break, Victoria gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet from the soft grass.
She reached out and patted the dirt off her skirt. Even though she was so hungry that her legs were weak, she still tried her best to maintain that aloof and noble air.
Who is the lord of this territory? I am the first in line to inherit the Tulip Family. Hurry up and prepare a grand banquet to welcome me!
With her chin smeared with black ash, she loudly commanded the intelligent robots around her who were trimming the flowers and plants, her tone exuding an unquestionable arrogance.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Bapi, who was patrolling outside, led a few security guards to climb onto the holographic railing to watch the excitement. He almost laughed his teeth out.
Zhou Bapi cracked the high-voltage stun gun at his waist, his face contorted with laughter as he pointed at the crazy girl like he was watching a monkey show.
These days, even beggars have learned to role-play. They dare to come to our Qingshui Divine Kingdom wearing tattered skirts and pretend to be royalty.
The foreign female academic high-achievers squatting in the corner doing arithmetic problems also looked at them with disdain, not even bothering to lift their heads, and continued to work on physics formulas on the blackboard.
By putting on airs in front of Lin Xian, this technological genius, this blonde foreign woman is simply challenging the bottom line of humanity's intelligence.
Lin Xian stood on the balcony, looking at the otherworldly young lady who was starving but still trying to act like a big shot, and a mocking sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
Even fairies who can fly on swords stand guard at the entrance of my manor. How dare you, a fallen nobleman, come here to order food?
He turned to look towards the kitchen, where Chen Xiuniang was just coming out carrying a steaming white jade steamer, a gentle smile on her face.
Idle boy, I noticed you didn't eat much tonight, so I specially steamed a basket of peach blossom cakes for you using mutated peach blossoms from the back mountain and deep-sea spring water.
As soon as the lid of the steamer was lifted, an incredibly rich and sweet aroma instantly filled the entire backyard, dispelling the chill of the night breeze.
The delicate fragrance of the mutated peach blossoms, mixed with the sweet and sticky taste of the spirit rice, forcefully entered the nasal cavity of everyone present, making the big yellow dog drool all over the place.
This is no ordinary pastry; every bite contains immense life energy that can cleanse the marrow and nourish the bones, and eating it can prolong the life of ordinary people.
Victoria's haughty declaration came to an abrupt halt. She stared intently at the white jade steamer in Chen Xiuniang's hand, swallowing hard.
To escape her pursuers, she had been starving in the void for three days and three nights, and the stomach acid was almost burning through her stomach lining.
The heavenly aroma of the pastries became the final straw that broke the psychological defenses of this noble lady from another world.
It let out a long, gurgling sound.
A deafening rumble of protesting stomach emanated from Victoria's small, delicate belly, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet courtyard.
Her pretty face, covered in mud, instantly turned bright red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears. She wished she could dig a hole in the constant-temperature lawn and disappear right there and then.
Chu Yiyi and Shen Youran were lying on the second-floor balcony, watching this comical scene. They laughed so hard their shoulders were shaking, and even their face masks cracked from laughing.
Just a moment ago they were saying they wanted to have the highest-class banquet, but now the smell of pastries makes their stomachs rumble. They've thrown away their aristocratic airs way too quickly.
Su Qinghan held a glass of red wine, coldly watching the outsider downstairs who was eagerly swallowing his saliva, his eyes full of contempt.
Before the boss's absolute wealth and divine-quality noodles, even the most powerful and wealthy in any world would have to obediently lower their proud heads.
Victoria swallowed hard and tentatively took two steps forward, her eyes glued to the crystal-clear pink peach blossom cake.
Sir, may I use the Knight's Medal of the Tulip Family as collateral in exchange for a piece of pastry to satisfy my hunger?
She pulled a dull, broken bronze plaque from her bosom, her tone no longer arrogant, but filled with a pitiful pleading.
Lin Xian walked down the light-guided staircase, sat on the rocking chair in front of the white jade table, and casually picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and put it in his mouth.
The soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture made Lin Xian squint his eyes in satisfaction, and he swallowed it without even chewing it.
He didn't even glance at the tattered medal, his slender fingers tapping casually twice on the table.
Even the paving bricks in my manor are worth more than your piece of scrap metal. You can't expect to get a free meal here.
Victoria's eyes reddened, tears welling up in them, as hunger gnawed away her last shred of reason.
What do you want me to do to get a bite to eat? I'll do anything!
Lin Xian leaned back in the rocking chair, rubbing his slightly sore neck, and a thought flashed through his mind about how to slack off.
My shoulders are a bit sore from playing games all day. Come over and give me a shoulder and leg massage. If you feel better, this basket of peach blossom cakes is yours.
Victoria was struck dumb. She, a noble heiress with vast lands, was reduced to a maidservant who massaged shoulders.
If this were to reach her world, all the ancestors of the Tulip family would be so angry that they would jump out of their graves to condemn her depravity.
But Chen Xiuniang took out a piece of peach blossom cake from the steamer, and the sweet aroma of it, still warm, instantly shattered all her pride.
Dignity is worthless in the face of starvation. Victoria bit her red lips, lifted her tattered skirt, and obediently walked behind Lin Xian's rocking chair.
She stretched out her delicate, white hands, which she had originally used only to play the harp, and awkwardly placed them on Lin Xian's broad shoulders.
That's too light a touch. Haven't you eaten? Put more pressure on the left side.
Lin Xian, with his eyes closed, made a critical remark, which startled Victoria so much that she immediately increased the pressure on her hands, using every ounce of strength she had.
While massaging Lin Xian's shoulders, she stared longingly at the white jade steamer on the table, her drool almost dripping onto Lin Xian's shirt.
Lin Xian felt the fairly comfortable pressure on his shoulder, nodded in satisfaction, and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake with two fingers, holding it behind his head.
Victoria pounced on her prey like a hungry wolf, opening her small mouth wide and taking Lin Xian's fingertips into her mouth.
The sweet pastries melted in her mouth, and the rich spiritual energy instantly repaired her parched meridians. The feeling of being healed, both physically and mentally, moved her so much that she almost cried.
In order to eat a few more pieces of this divine delicacy, this young lady from another world completely abandoned all her aristocratic airs.
She knelt on the lawn, her small hands diligently massaging Lin Xian's calves, her technique becoming increasingly skilled under the lure of food.
Zhong Xiaoai pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and walked out of the laboratory. Looking at the alien visitor who was vigorously massaging his legs, she frantically took notes in her notebook about this cross-cultural shock.
Ye Xiu squatted at the entrance of the computer room, holding a bowl of instant noodles, completely impressed by the boss's methods of training the girl from another world.
No matter what world you're from, royalty or nobility, once you arrive in the Qing Shui Divine Kingdom, you'll have to bow down for Lin Xian's leftovers.
Lin Xian comfortably enjoyed the exclusive massage service of the otherworldly nobles, and casually took out the latest smartphone from his pocket to play a couple of ranked matches.
The game had only loaded halfway through when, just as he was about to control his character to invade the enemy jungle, his phone screen went black without warning.
A red battery icon pops up in the center of the screen, indicating that the battery is depleted, and then it turns into a completely useless black brick.
Lin Xian's languid expression vanished instantly, his brows furrowing in annoyance as he tossed the piece of scrap metal onto the marble tabletop.
The charging speed of this crappy modern battery is infuriatingly slow. You have to drag around a charging cable to play games. It's a completely anti-human design.
