Shi Xiaonian immediately walked towards the two children, the eyes behind the mask swept towards the butler's actions, only to see him type a password on a panel, and the cage flew up, returning to its original state.
Gong Yao and Gong Kui were released.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was extremely shocked, how could it be that kind of password?
This place was exactly the same as the layout of Gong Ou's Science Museum, there were no details at all. Only the MR Palace could copy this, so if it was, then how could the password be different from what she remembered?
Probably, Gong Ou had also entered the password in their memories to touch the alarm.
This must be where the Mr Palace is...
But what had happened?
"Are you guys okay?" Shi Xiaonian withdrew her train of thought and looked down at the two children.
Gong Yao pulled Gong Kui behind him, and shook his head.
Shi Xiaonian immediately went up to touch her hair, and looked at her with a pair of large, intelligent eyes. She did not call out to her mother.Gong Yao stood beside her and said softly, "He said that he had an idea, and made us keep our composure."
Him?
Shi Xiaonian was startled, and then she understood that she was referring to Gong Ou.
As expected, Gong Ou had an idea so he did not reveal his identity and allowed the bodyguards to rush in."The two children like you very much. Sure enough, you are a very attractive lady." The long-haired man who had been glued her gaze onto Shi Xiaonian walked over, not stingy with her praise.
Shi Xiaonian smiled lightly, feeling anxious in her heart.
It was hard to find an excuse to keep the children around. So many people were watching them.
"Why don't I take you out for a drink? The two little fellows were frightened, so they must be thirsty too. " The long-haired man said, trying his best to show off in front of Shi Xiaonian.
Just right.
Leaving the place where so many pairs of eyes were staring first.
"Alright then."
Shi Xiaonian smiled and nodded, then took her two children to follow the man.
The second young master of Alva family led them to the dance floor. This was the true home ground for today.The music in the old villa was passionate and majestic, as if it had entered a special era.
The lights suddenly dimmed.
The people wearing strange clothes were standing on the stairs. They were all laughing happily behind their strange masks.
Some were drinking;
Some were whispering;
Some of them were competing in dance moves.
Some of them were shouting at the top of their lungs, attracting everyone's attention.
A "Ah!" sound was heard. A couple dressed as Divine Thieves stepped on the swing and jumped down from the top hallway. They swayed all the way to the dance floor and started dancing.The excited screams almost pierced the eardrums.
So this was the city's masquerade party? The lighting effect felt like it was similar to a hellish meeting …Shi Xiaonian frowned, lowered her head and looked at the two children. Gong Yao and Gong Kui both frowned.
Obviously they don't like it here.
"This place isn't suitable for children. Why don't we change it to another place?" Shi Xiaonian looked at the man beside him.
The man's fiery gaze was so intense that she couldn't look him in the eye.
"The only thing that's inappropriate is the light."The man smiled and hooked his fingers.
A servant immediately stepped forward, and the man said, "Change the lighting so that the children like it."
"Understood, Second Young Master."
Not long after, the entire stadium lit up. The soft yellow tone changed the atmosphere, and a faint pink light seemed to slide across the dance floor. Countless transparent bubbles began to fall from the ceiling …
The adorably dressed 'princesses' carried their skirts to the center of the dance floor and danced along with the melodious music.
The dark world changed into the Pink Kingdom within a second. There were all kinds of classic animation scenes piled up on the dance floor, and everyone wasn't unaccustomed to it. They just continued to dance while the guests drank their fruit juice together with the theme.
It was amazing.
Shi Xiaonian stood on the stairs and looked down in shock at the sea of people.
Gong Kui raised her hand to grab the bubble, and she was so happy that she almost stepped onto the ancient stairs."You can switch to a variety of topics for a ball?"
Shi Xiaonian could not help but ask.
"You're not from this city?" the man asked, dashing his long hair and staring at her.
"Why?"
"Those of us here don't know anything else. We can eat, drink, and have fun to the extreme. This is just a small matter." The man said as he took an empty cup from a servant beside him.He knocked on the wall beside him.
Immediately a pink Ice cream descended and he accepted it with ease.
Gong Kui exclaimed with her eyes wide open.
"If it was the light just now, the most delicious wine would have flowed here." "Do you want to enjoy it?"
"…"
Shi Xiaonian shook her head, her gaze sweeping across the people, and noticed that someone was throwing money there, and could not help but ask: "Are all the people here like this?"
It was her first time encountering such a scene.
It was like a carnival, but something didn't seem right.
Gong Ou had clearly said that this place was very ordinary."We are in an ancient city, and history has left us with too much wealth. We don't need to fight for our lives anymore." The man leaned under the banister and looked down.
"And no one works here?"
Gong Kui interrupted and asked.
"Little beauty, we don't need to work. We don't need to think about the future. We just need to enjoy the present." The man rubbed Gong Kui's little head, "Look, there are drunk faces everywhere. Even after one day of death, you don't know how you died, but it doesn't matter, just playing from life to death is enough."Shi Xiaonian looked at the man, pondering his words, "You don't seem to be satisfied with this kind of situation?"
"How could that be? Otherwise, why would Alva family hold a masquerade ball?"
"But I see dissatisfaction in your face."
Shi Xiaonian said.
The man's gaze changed when he heard that. Suddenly, he laughed in a low voice and approached her. His eyes stared deeply at her as he said, "You can see something from my face, but I can't see anything from yours."
His voice was low as he reached for the mask on her face.
"…"Shi Xiaonian took a step back.
The man took a step closer, determined to snatch away her mask.
"Aiya."
A tender and exaggerated voice sounded.The two of them lowered their eyes, only to see Gong Kui covering the entire Ice cream s up to the man's pants, his large eyes blinking innocently, "Sorry, Uncle, I didn't do it on purpose."
Shi Xiaonian looked at the man silently.
The tendons on the neck of the young master trembled as he looked at Shi Xiaonian and forced a smile, "Sorry, I'll go and take care of it first."
"Oh, okay."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, she could not help but burst out laughing when she saw him walk far away, then extended her hand to pinch Gong Kui's face, "You little scoundrel."
Of course, she didn't think her daughter had done it unintentionally."Am I good?" Gong Kui asked proudly. "Mother is father's, we can't let him touch her!"
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was puzzled, "Who taught you that?"
"Dad won't let anyone touch you. We can only touch a little, so we can't let that uncle touch you either!" Gong Kui said with a serious face, she actually had the same overbearing expression as Gong Ou.
"…"
Gong Ou's possessiveness had completely affected this tiny Gong Kui.Shi Xiaonian looked around at the people who were immersed in the ball. Only now did she realise that it was just as the man said, the people here all had drunk faces, and there was not a hint of vitality in their eyes.
Eating and having fun seemed to be the main theme.
This kind of masquerade made her feel uncomfortable all over, and the thought of the palace made her even more uncomfortable.
The Mr Palace should travel the world with them, not stay in a place like this.
"Let's go find your father."
After sending off the Second Young Master, Shi Xiaonian was in a hurry to return with Gong Ou. She took out her earphones from her sleeve and was about to put them on, but before she could take them out, the lights in the place suddenly changed again.The entire venue lit up.
A loud and clear voice echoed throughout the entire ancient villa, "Welcome to the Alva family's makeup ball. Next, I would like to ask the ladies to display your beautiful bodies and hot dancing moves to their heart's content. The popular queen will receive the most mysterious gift from the Alva family."
"How mysterious?"
someone shouted.
The lights suddenly dimmed again, and the whole place went dark.
Shi Xiaonian immediately grabbed the two children's hands and pulled them tightly to her side.
A huge light box suddenly appeared in the sky, slowly flying above everyone's heads.
The light box was sealed all around, and only a tall shadow could be seen inside.
Human form.
But they were sharp and pointed.
"…"
The Mar Palace!Even if it was just a black shadow, Shi Xiaonian could immediately recognize that it was the figure of the MR Palace, the family that had accompanied her and carried her when she was at her most helpless, she would never make a mistake.
Is the palace a prize for tonight?
Was it trapped?
No wonder they had been unable to find the palace for so long.Too much!
"This is a bit like a robot." Some of the people recognized that the black shadow inside was a robot, and started to shout, "What can we buy with money? I thought Alva family would take out something interesting, if they knew that I wouldn't come!""That's right. If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have come either!"
The entire audience was booing.
Shi Xiaonian had never treated the MR Palace as a commodity before, and hearing their words made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
She was going to find Gong Ou and take him away from the Mr Palace.
She turned to leave but suddenly a beam of light struck her body. Her ancient dress was immediately exposed to the darkness, which Shi Xiaonian found dazzling as he raised her hand to cover the light.
"This beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance?"
A familiar voice sounded.
Shi Xiaonian looked down from the stairs and saw the long-haired man standing in the middle of the dance floor, staring at her.
"…"
It was lingering.
Do men who rank second at home like to stick around? Gong Ou was like this, and this second young master was like this as well.
