The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 272 Xuan Jin's Brother-in-law

Hua Chao felt so tired! She had never felt so tired since she escaped from the West Sea.

Her nerves are on edge every day, with things happening one after another, one after another, and each one needs to be solved by her.

The people around her also need her protection, including that benefactor whom she can never let go.

He fled to the West Sea to repay his benefactor, but failed to do so. Instead, his benefactor was captured by the nine-headed snake demon king and taken to the Qiankun Tower, where he was about to be turned into a pill in the alchemy furnace.

Even after fighting the Nine-headed Demon King and going through untold hardships, Hua Chao didn't feel tired.

Why am I so tired at this moment? I am extremely tired, as if every muscle and bone in my body is sore, weak and numb.

She really wanted to sleep for a while, but her head was still clear and she knew that she was lying on the back of a stranger.

She didn't know whether this person was an enemy or a friend, and she didn't know whether he was an illusion created by the Hydra to confuse her.

She couldn't sleep, couldn't sleep...

Hua Chao forced herself to wake up, to keep a little consciousness...

Shake, shake, shake...

It was so comfortable, with the moist fragrance of flowers everywhere. Hua Chao felt like she was sleeping in a cradle, with frogs croaking all around her, the sound of gurgling water, and the warm sunshine shining on her body.

She stretched lazily, and every muscle in her body felt relaxed.

"Ah...um..."

"Sister, you're awake..."

It is the voice of Lingmi, it is the voice of Lingmi!

Hua Chao jumped up and saw a pretty girl lying on the deck, looking at him.

A pair of smart and playful eyes smiled into crescents. This face was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. Who else could it be but Ling Mi?

Hua Chao held her in his arms, and his tears fell like beads all over the ground.

“Lingmi…my Lingmi…why are you here!”

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you wake up like a madman after a good sleep?"

"Ling Mi has been on the boat the whole time. You have been sleeping on the boat the whole time! Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... Ling Mi has been here the whole time!"

Hua Chao looked up and saw lotus flowers blooming all around. She was sitting on a small boat, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was crystal blue.

"Lingmi, where is this and why are we here?"

Lingmi looked worried and reached out to touch her forehead.

"Sister, are you confused in your sleep? This is Lotus Town. You, me, and my brother-in-law have always lived in Lotus Town! Are you confused again? I'll go call my brother-in-law..."

Hua Chao grabbed Ling Mi's arm, she suspected that she had heard it wrong!

"Lingmi, what did you say? Who did you say you were going to call?"

Hua Chao was startled and used great force on his hand to pull Ling Mi, who had turned around, back.

"My brother-in-law is fishing in this pond. Didn't we agree to have sweet and sour carp tonight? My brother-in-law is going to catch fish for you. He will come out as soon as I call him, don't worry."

"What brother-in-law? What fish-eating! Where did your brother-in-law come from?"

Lingmi's eyes were as big as copper bells as she looked at Hua Chao in surprise.

"My brother-in-law is so good, and you actually asked me where he came from. You must be really ill. I will go and call him back now."

"Lingmi, listen to me, why are you so disobedient? Calm down and tell me what's going on. Have you also been bewitched by the nine-headed demon king?"

Hua Chao's voice was stern and her tone was unquestionable. Ling Mi, who was still struggling, suddenly became quiet, and looked at the once gentle and lovely sister Hua Chao with horror.

"Lingmi, sit down and tell me what's going on quietly."

Lingmi nodded, but sat down abruptly.

Hua Chao looked at the frightened Ling Mi, and put a strand of her hair behind her ear with heartache.

Her little spirit has reappeared. Perhaps this is another illusion set up by the nine-headed snake demon king. The demon king has boundless power and is hard to guard against!

The devil knows what he cares about most. It seems that he wants to use Lingmi to confuse him in this level. He doesn't know who the brother-in-law Lingmi is talking about. When Lingmi and she were in the village of Lulong, he had been getting along with Yang Shilin.

It must be Yang Shilin! It couldn't be anyone else!

Hua Chao clearly remembered that he was on the Fantasy Moon Island just now, lying on the back of a stranger named Xuan Jin, and then he must have fallen asleep.

In the blink of an eye, I appeared here again. It seemed that the illusions set up by the devil were one after another, interconnected and tight.

She must be extremely careful at this stage, because here are her little spiritual master and her benefactor Yang Shilin.

We can't let the demon king confuse us with illusions. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. Now we must understand clearly from Lingmi so that we can deal with the problems that will arise later.

"Ling Mi, don't be afraid. I'll ask the questions now and you just answer them!"

"Well... okay... just ask, sister! As long as you're okay, Lingmi is not afraid."

"Good Lingmi, tell me first, you just said this place is called Lotus Town, have we been living here?"

"Yes! My sister, brother-in-law and I have always lived here, and we even have a small yard. My sister and brother-in-law love each other very much, and everyone in the surrounding area knows about it!"

"So what are the people like here? Are they friendly?"

"My elder sister is very kind and beautiful. She also has medical skills and often helps the neighbors. That's why everyone likes you very much!"

"I know medical skills!"

Hua Chao was a little surprised. This illusion was quite interesting. How come he had learned how to treat patients?

"Yes! My sister is a very skilled doctor, and my brother-in-law is a hardworking fisherman. We live a very comfortable life in Lotus Town!"

Hua Chao whispered in his heart.

"It seems that this illusion is very comfortable. Could it be that the devil wants to use this comfortable and peaceful life of ordinary people to trap me?"

"This is the kind of life I've always longed for, peaceful and comfortable, with the husband and wife following each other's lead and loving each other beyond any doubt!"

"If I could really stay together with Yang Shilin forever, I would probably be very happy, very happy!"

"But Brother Yang and I, let alone such a fairy-like life, we have never even held hands..."

Now he is thrown into the Qiankun Tower and his life or death is uncertain, while she has fallen into the illusions of the Nine-headed Demon King and cannot extricate herself!

Hua Chao's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe them away.

"Sister! Why are you crying? Did Lingmi say something wrong? Sister, don't be sad. Lingmi is most afraid of your tears."

Lingmi was at a loss and too nervous to know what to do.

"It's okay, I...I was just blinded by the wind, it's nothing!"

"Now that you've finished asking, I'll go call my brother-in-law back so we can go home and cook fish. My brother-in-law Xuan Jin's sweet and sour carp is the best!"

"Xuan Jin...brother-in-law..."

Hua Chao was so shocked that his voice trembled and the blood in his body instantly boiled!
