Chapter 199 Curiosity killed the cat
The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "This is the mark of the owner of the mysterious space. From now on, you officially become the owner of this place."
Shen Yiran's eyes widened, her face full of reluctance. She secretly complained in her heart, unwilling to accept this fact.
If she had known the result would be like this, she would never have opened the mysterious door. It really proves the old saying that curiosity kills the cat.
She looked at the old man helplessly and tried to shirk her responsibility again: "Senior, I really can't be the master. How can I be so worthy? I just stumbled in here by accident."
However, no matter what she said, the old man remained firm.
Shen Yiran sighed helplessly, knowing that she could not change the situation. She suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Senior, can I use my mind to summon the herbs in this herb garden outside of space?"
The old man nodded slightly, "Okay. Because you are the master here."
Shen Yiran was slightly moved when she heard this, but somehow she still couldn't be happy. She asked again: "Then in the future in the mysterious space, can I use my mind to control where I want to go?" The old man nodded again.
Shen Yiran was silent for a moment, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Becoming the master of the mysterious space means huge responsibilities and unknown challenges.
She didn't know what kind of difficulties she would face in the future, nor was she sure whether she was capable of taking on this responsibility. She looked at the magical herbs in the herb garden, feeling confused and uneasy.
She suddenly thought of a very important question and felt a little uneasy. "Senior, is there a time difference between the space inside and outside?"
"Yes, the time in this space is three times that outside. For example, it has taken you three hours to enter, but six hours have passed outside."
Shen Yiran's face suddenly changed when she heard this. She instantly felt a strong sense of anxiety. She originally just wanted to get the magical herbs, but she didn't expect to be delayed in this mysterious space for so long.
The more she thought about how she had to rush to find Qin Rufeng, the more uneasy she became. She quickly calculated in her mind that so much time had passed and she didn't know what the situation outside had become.
And Yun'er, that girl, wouldn't be scared to death if she couldn't find her at dinner time? She has sequelae from the fright.
Shen Yiran felt like she was weighed down by a huge rock, with responsibility and anxiety intertwined. She knew that she could no longer escape this fate and must bravely face the challenges of the future.
She looked at the mysterious herb garden and the old man, and a determined light gradually appeared in her eyes. She secretly made up her mind that no matter how many difficulties she faced, she would try her best to take on the responsibility of the owner of the mysterious space, for the people of the world, for herself and the people around her.
But now, she had to leave the space first. She turned to the old man, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you for your guidance and gift, senior. But I have something urgent to do and must leave now. So I'll take my leave now."
The old man nodded slightly, with understanding in his eyes: "Go, girl. Remember, since you have become the master of this mysterious space, you have a great mission.
The road ahead may be full of difficulties and obstacles, but I believe you can find your own way with courage and wisdom. "
Shen Yiran nodded solemnly. Although she still had many concerns in her heart, she could only put them aside for the moment. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes fell on Huihu and Yanlang, and asked with a worried look on her face: "Can you go back to the ranch by yourself?"
Huihu and Yanlang nodded vigorously at Shen Yiran at the same time. Their eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if telling Shen Yiran that there was no need to worry about them.
"Then I'm relieved. I'll come to find you when I'm done with my work." As soon as Shen Yiran finished speaking, his figure flashed like lightning and he was out of the mysterious space in an instant.
It was night time, and the room was dark without any lights on. Shen Yiran stood quietly for a while. The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the outlines of the furniture were looming in the darkness. She carefully observed the surrounding environment and confirmed that there was nothing unusual.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked out the door, thinking of going to see Yun'er and the others. When she arrived at the door, she found that the light in Yun'er's room was still on, and the faint light seemed particularly warm in the night.
At this time, the night watchman's call came from outside, "Dong-Dong! Dong! It's the third watch, be careful with candles."
Shen Yiran paused for a moment. She was thinking, it was only eleven o'clock in the evening, it was still early, could she still go find Qin Rufeng? If she could figure this out sooner, she could go find Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu earlier.
But now, she had to make sure whether Yun'er and the others were looking for her. She came to their door quietly and saw the scene inside the house through the crack in the door.
The light was softly shining in the room. Yun'er and Banxia were sitting at the table, their faces full of anxiety. On the table was a cup of steaming tea, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Shen Yiran decided to go in and talk to Yun'er and the others first to reassure them, and then go out to look for Qin Rufeng.
Just as Shen Yiran slowly raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, Yun'er's anxious voice came from inside the room: "Sister Banxia, where do you think the Crown Prince's Consort will go? Will she disappear again?"
"Yun'er, don't be anxious. I checked the Crown Prince's Consort's bedroom carefully, and there was no sign of a fight. The Crown Prince's Consort must have left because of something. Let's wait a little longer, maybe she will be back soon." Banxia comforted Yun'er softly.
When Shen Yiran, who was outside the door, heard this conversation, she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart. At the same time, she became more appreciative of Banxia's calmness and meticulousness.
Then, she raised her hand again, knocked on the door gently, and said, "Yun'er, Banxia, it's me!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and then there was a burst of hurried footsteps. The door creaked open, and Yun'er and Banxia looked at Shen Yiran with surprise.
"Princess! Where have you been? We were so worried!" Yun'er cried. Banxia also said quickly: "Princess, I'm glad you're okay. We were so worried."
Shen Yiran gave an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry to have made you worry. I had to go out to do something tonight and didn't have time to tell you."
Yun'er's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Princess, what are you doing outside? Why don't you take us with you? You're coming back so late, it's so dangerous!"
Shen Yiran patted Yun'er's shoulder gently and comforted her: "It's just a few small things, it's okay, I will tell you in advance next time."
Banxia said at the side: "Princess, please don't do this again. If anything happens to you, how will we explain to the prince?"
Shen Yiran nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm tired and I'm going back to my room to rest."
Yun'er hurriedly asked, "Princess, have you had dinner yet?"
Shen Yiran felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled gently at Yun'er and said, "I've eaten outside."
Seeing this, Banxia quickly said, "That's good, Princess, go and have a rest. Call us if you need anything."
Shen Yiran walked out of the door, but after a moment's thought, she turned back and went into her room. After all, she had to pretend to be nice, otherwise the two girls would get suspicious again. She didn't dare to walk out of the door openly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Shen Yiran returned to the room, quickly changed into night clothes like the previous two times, put on a fox mask, and jumped out of the back window.
