I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 283: [Until Death] A Slap

Seeing that the maid had already reached the door, Bai Cha suddenly called her.

"You wait a moment."

The maid looked back, feeling somewhat puzzled and expectant. In her opinion, Xu Taotao might have changed her mind.

After all, given Xu Taotao's personality, maybe she had gone too far recently, so she couldn't help but lose her temper.

"What day is today?"

"Ah? Oh... Today is the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. In two days it will be the Chinese New Year."

Bai Cha lowered his eyes slightly, then looked up at her.

"Got it, go call the person over."

The maid curled her lips and went out.

Bai Cha walked to the dressing mirror and sat down, then took the candle in front of her.

The candle is indeed higher and the date has moved forward.

So what is the point?

Has the time changed for other players?

Bai Cha looked at the mirror.

Her face reflected in the mirror didn't seem to have changed at all, she still looked very much like Xu Shengsheng.

Bai Cha kept staring at the mirror without blinking.

After a long while, she couldn't observe any changes, and the strange phenomenon in the mirror did not appear. She frowned and opened the barrage.

【Ah, the anchor has turned on the barrage! 】

[Host, do you know how long you have slept? ]

【Sleeping Area Anchor】

"Have I slept for a long time?" Bai Cha keenly caught the comment.

[Yeah, I slept for a long time]

[Time cannot be sent out and will be blocked]

[I thought you were dragged into a dream again, host]

Bai Cha lowered her eyes and gently stroked the candle with her fingers.

"I seem to have had a dream, but I don't remember it." Bai Cha sighed softly.

Finally, she looked at herself in the mirror and her eyes flickered slightly.

The expression on my face when I sighed just now was similar to that of the woman in the Biyi Tower.

She became alert in her heart.

She felt something was wrong since she woke up, but she didn't know what was wrong.

[Anchor, you came back after falling down from that hole]

[Anchor, you are really finished. You didn’t find a partner, and you offended someone.]

[People without a target in this dungeon will easily get lost. Host, can you see this sentence?]

[She can't see it, you've given away the topic]

【All right】

Bai Cha certainly couldn't see that sentence, but he could see the rest of their conversation.

"What are the other players doing now? Will those who form a team be safe?"

【Safer than you】

[Indeed... I don't know what's going on here either. It's different from everyone else's.]

[Let me put it this way, host. This dungeon has always had another name on the forum: Being Single is Hell]

[Aba Aba, have you eaten their rice yet? Why is this copy so malicious?]

Baicha turned off the barrage.

She needed to think and also go out and explore.

It's getting dark outside.

When Bai Cha walked out the door, she saw the maid coming back with a lamp.

"Miss, why are you out?"

"Where are the people?" Bai Cha asked.

The maid hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "It's too late. They are not there now. Maybe they have gone to sleep."

To put it bluntly, I think Bai Cha's anger is only temporary. As long as this period of time passes, her anger will subside and she will not pursue the matter anymore.

Bai Cha looked at her coldly.

The light shone from below, falling on Baicha's thin figure and reflecting her expression at the moment, making people inexplicably feel a ghostly feeling.

The maid shuddered.

"Are you cold?" Bai Cha asked.

The maid laughed dryly. "It's a bit cold these days, Miss, don't stand outside. You've been in poor health since you were a child, so go back to sleep."

As she said this, she wanted to come up to help Bai Cha, but Bai Cha simply reached out and took the lamp from her hand.

"Miss?" The maid was stunned.

Bai Cha has already started walking with a lamp in hand.

"Miss, where are you going? The kitchen is not over there!" the maid shouted.

But Bai Cha seemed not to hear it at all.

A cold wind blew into the courtyard, blowing Baicha's clothes. Under the flickering lights, the shadow projected on the wall kept shaking.

The maid shut her mouth.

She shuddered again.

Is the temperature dropping again? Why do I feel so cold?
Should she follow? Never mind, since the lady didn't say anything, she would just pretend she didn't know.

I always felt that there was a creepy aura about the young lady, and at one point in a trance, I even felt that there was blood on her body.

The maid took a deep breath, rubbed the goose bumps on her body, and turned away.

……

Xu Taotao sat in the room and observed the mirror for a long time, but did not find anything unusual.

It was getting dark outside.

Soon it was time for dinner, but she had no appetite.

Especially having to take medicine.

She was very resistant.

But she didn't even know what she was resisting.

Biyun urged her to eat more.

"If you don't eat, your health will get worse. What if you get married and are disliked? Madam has told me to make sure you eat."

Xu Taotao pursed her lips.

This kind of talk again. If you will be disliked after getting married, then you’d better not get married.

But if you don't get married, you will also be looked down upon.

She knew. She had seen it when she was little. There was a family in the east of the city whose daughter refused to get married. She was said to be mentally ill. Wherever she went, people pointed fingers at her and the whole family could not hold their heads up.

There was a scholar in the south who only cared about fame and fortune and didn't want to get married. He was always accused of being unfilial and wanting to end the family line. People pointed fingers at him wherever he went.

Even the examiner would not allow him to take the exam after hearing about it.

If you don’t want to get married, you will never be able to hold your head up high for the rest of your life.

But is getting married so good?
Everyone says that my father and mother treat each other with respect and are a very loving couple.

But she always felt uncomfortable.

"I don't want to eat it, please take it away." Those indescribable emotions made Xu Taotao feel disgusted, and she lost her temper again.

Biyun had no choice but to tell Li.

But Xu's father was there too. When he heard that she refused to eat, he got so angry that he threw the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

"This is outrageous. Just don't give her any food and let her starve! Why did she get so angry when I said something to her today?"

Li advised: "Don't be angry, she may not be angry with you, she may just be feeling unwell, she just saw the doctor today."

"What's wrong with you? It's all because of you spoiling me!"

Father Xu became even angrier and stood up suddenly, but his vision went dark and he fell forward.

When Xu Taotao heard about this, she was also stunned for a moment, and quickly ran out holding up her skirt.

When she got there, the doctor had already arrived and was taking Xu's father's pulse.

"What's going on?" Li was worried.

The doctor's expression was solemn, and after a while, he sighed.

"Madam, the master has had a stroke. I'll give him a few injections and see if he's lucky and can move after waking up, then he'll be fine. But if he can't move..."

Then I will be paralyzed in bed.

Li almost fainted and broke down crying on the spot.

Xu Taotao couldn't help but go forward to hug her mother, but was slapped in the face by Li.

"It's all because of you. If you hadn't pissed your father off like this, how could he have had a stroke? Wouldn't it be enough for you to just nod and get married? You're still being picky. Your marriage wasn't going well in the first place. Do you know how much your father and I have endured?!"

Xu Taotao tilted her head. The slap made her whole head buzz and blood kept rushing up.

After hearing what Li said, Xu Taotao felt stars in front of her eyes and couldn't even stand steadily.

Is it her fault?
What does this have to do with her?

If you look at someone and you don't like them, is it wrong to just say so?

How could it be her fault that her father was like this?

Xu Taotao covered her face and staggered out.
