Chapter 49: Lady of the Nine Gates
As soon as Ming Yan stepped into the door, he was stunned by the scene before him.
I saw a beautiful girl eating snacks while leaning against a carved wooden altar. Her posture was not messy at all, and her slender hands gently pinched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, savoring it slowly. The girl had delicate skin, a leisurely look, and a beautiful look in her eyes. When she was happy, she suddenly stood up and turned around on the spot, and her eyes smiled like crescents. There are people in this world who can eat a small snack and feel like a feast. Isn't it all about fighting for fame and fortune in this world...
"Master... of Jiumen..." The maid's respectful call came to an abrupt end when Mingyan waved his hand. Mingyan was afraid of disturbing the girl in front of him and disturbing her tranquility.
This familiar taste is the feeling my mouth likes. I tasted the osmanthus cake and was so happy that I almost flew up, but I felt a strange gaze. Following the gazes of the maids, I turned back and found that a beautiful man was standing at the door. He had a straight nose and rosy lips. At this moment, he was smiling like a plume of falling feathers, sweet as sugar, and his angular face was so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female.
"Ah," I put the cakes on the white jade plate, and hurriedly straightened my clothes and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"What?" Ming Yan looked inside the secret room, but there was nothing unusual, except that the eternal lamp next to the crystal coffin had gone out. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yang Baitian in the coffin was already dead? At this moment, a popular saying in the other world, "When the lamp goes out, the person dies," came to his mind. Could it be that the beautiful girl in front of him was not Yang Baitian? Ming Yan was so shocked by his own doubts that he almost fell to the ground.
I thought the man in front of me was beautiful to the core, but when I saw that he was staring at me, my 100-point favorability instantly dropped to 70 points. I picked up the cake again and put it in my mouth, chewing it fiercely, and asked casually, "Why are you staring at me?"
Ming Yan sorted out his chaotic thoughts, then chuckled and said, "Why, I don't recognize you anymore?"
"Hmm?" I looked at him carefully with wide eyes. He was good-looking, but there was no memory of him in my mind.
"I'm glad you woke up. Are you feeling unwell?" He suddenly came over and wiped the pastry off the corner of my mouth. Such an intimate gesture made me feel particularly uncomfortable. My eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and my eyes widened as I stared at him, afraid that he would take another step forward, and I was anxious to search for some memories of him in my mind.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc as he said, "You are so naughty."
"Do you know me?" I looked at him puzzled.
"What do you think, my lady?" He suddenly leaned down slightly, smiling softly, his expression was wicked and affectionate, but his eyes seemed to be smiling.
"Poof", with a cry of "Madam", the cake in my mouth burst out. I quickly patted my chest and said, "Don't yell nonsense, I'm telling you."
"Why, as soon as you woke up, you didn't want me as your husband anymore?" Ming Yan was like an abandoned young wife, full of sadness, and even his eyes began to turn red...
This pitiful look is so pitiful that even the mountains and rivers would be sad. In front of the beauty, I said sullenly: "Don't cry, I am who you say I am, do you think I am stupid? I won't be fooled."
"How can such a thing be proved? Originally you and I had been living together, but you came here to recuperate because you were not feeling well. But who would have thought that as soon as you recovered you didn't want me as your husband anymore, and even said that you didn't even know me." Ming Yan acted out his grievances as huge as a mountain and an ocean.
Seeing that the girl in front of him still refused to believe him, he cried out aggrievedly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the maids."
The maids had long been shocked by the Ninth Master's despicable appearance and were so shocked that they didn't know which way was east, west, or west. Now they were called over to identify him and testify.
"Who is she? You guys come and tell her." Ming Yan looked over with a cold look. The maids were trembling with fear, and the sweat on their foreheads showed their inner tension and fear. At this time, some of them did not dare to look up and said, "Master, who should she be?"
Ming Yan pursed his lips tightly, with a haughty and cold expression: "Why, your wife has lost her memory, and you don't want to comfort her and help her recover quickly?"
The maids quickly bowed their heads and said, "Sister Fairy, you are Madam Jiumen."
"I'm his wife? I actually already have a husband? Oh my God, my happy life hasn't even begun. There are so many handsome men in the world, how come I'm married?" I stood there in a daze. The delicious pastry in my mouth suddenly lost its taste, as if I were eating wax and chewing wood. I just stared blankly at the man in front of me. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned with a faint smile. His peach blossom eyes looked at me tenderly, like a spring breeze blowing over from thousands of miles away, but I couldn't help shivering.
"Why, ma'am, are you so excited when you think of your husband?" Ming Yan walked over with a smile and gently embraced the beautiful girl who was in a daze. She saw that her slender waist was bound by a cloud belt, not even enough to be held in one hand. Thinking that this cloud belt was made by her maids, she couldn't help but smile in her heart. This feeling was so wonderful.
I felt my waist tighten, and when I looked up, I saw the affectionate eyes of the beauty. I was so scared that I quickly stepped back and said, "Even if you are my husband, I tell you, we are still unfamiliar. Stay away from me, go back to where you came from, and don't stay here with me."
Ming Yan nodded and said, "Now that you are awake, come back to the palace with me to rest so that I can take care of you."
"Inside the palace, do I still have a place to stay?" I widened my eyes, a little surprised that I actually had a place to live. It seemed that I was not poor, right?
Ming Yan smiled and said, "Tell Madam how many places she has to live?"
The maids quickly knelt down and replied, "Madam, the vastness of the world belongs to the king, and the vastness of the king's land is the Nine Gates."
"Speak human language." Ming Yan said impatiently.
"But the places and residences that Madam saw are all yours." The maids replied in panic.
The beautiful girl in front of him raised her head, her whole body frozen in place, her mouth open in surprise but she didn't say a word. After a while, she slapped her head and said, "You are so amazing. I didn't expect I have so much property." But then she shook her head and said, "No, no, it's you who has money, not me."
Ming Yan waved his hand and said, "Come here, go and bring all the accounts of the Nine Gates, including the contracts between the immortal world and the human world, to Madam for review. From now on, Madam will take care of everything."
"You mean, everything is mine?" I was surprised and confused.
Ming Yan nodded and said, "Of course, everything is yours, including me."
