I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 285: [Undying] Moths to the Flame

Xu Taotao didn't know how long she had been standing there stiffly.

But the embroidered shoes didn't seem to move.

Xu Taotao didn't know where she got the courage from. She covered her violently beating heart and stood up carefully.

She stared at the corridor without blinking, but as she stood up, her vision gradually moved upwards.

After passing the railing, the view became wider, but she didn't see any figure.

As if it was just her illusion.

Xu Taotao couldn't tell what she felt, but surprisingly, she vented out her pent-up emotions.

So she simply stood up, brushed off the leaves on her body, looked around, climbed over the railing and left.

But she didn't know where she was going, and most importantly, she didn't want to go back to her room.

Xu Taotao walked around in the yard for a while, and it was already completely dark.

The winter night was still very cold and she shivered.

After turning around, she went to the main hall.

There is only one maid on duty here.

When the maid saw Xu Taotao, she bowed.

Xu Taotao ignored him, walked around aimlessly, and went behind the screen.

Today I am standing here looking at the people outside, but actually I can’t see clearly, I can only see their shapes.

Xu Taotao didn't really dislike the other person's thinness, she just simply hated looking at him and hated getting married.

She felt that her idea was somewhat rebellious.

Which woman in this world doesn’t want to get married?

But she couldn't stop herself from having such thoughts, which spread and grew as fast as weeds.

Xu Taotao looked outside through the screen.

There were only a few dim candles in the room, and the people outside could not be seen clearly.

She felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Just across this screen, you have to make the choice of your life.

She was really terrified.

Suddenly, a light seemed to be approaching.

Xu Taotao was stunned.

"Zhu Yun?" She tried calling the name of the maid on duty outside.

"What's wrong, miss?"

Zhu Yun's voice came from the side door.

She stood there at the beginning.

Xu Taotao stared at the light source that was gradually approaching outside the screen. There was a figure there.

There was no candle around her, the candle was lit in front of her, so the figure in front of her must be a person.

But Zhu Yun is at the side door, so who is this?

"No...it's okay..." Xu Taotao said, swallowing.

Her heartbeat quickened again, and she felt inexplicably excited.

She felt that she should be afraid, but strangely, she did not feel scared. Instead, she felt a strange tremor.

Maybe she felt that she could foresee the end of her life, but the incredible things happening now made her life, which was as calm as stagnant water, have some waves.

What if... What if there were something special in this world...

So, is it possible that she would choose another life because of being exposed to these things?

Even if it means flying like a moth into a flame?
A moth flies into a flame because it sees the light, but she cannot see where her own light is.

Xu Taotao stared at the figure in front of her for a long time, then stretched out her hand.

She pushed the screen aside.

But there was no one in front of me.

Xu Taotao took two steps forward with some disappointment.

The earrings fell to the ground with a ding. She took a look and ignored it, but walked around the room again.

"Miss, what are you looking for? Do you need my help?" Zhu Yun asked.

"No need." Xu Taotao refused and felt very disappointed.

Why can't she see it? Is it because she is in a mortal body and has not opened her celestial eye? I heard that in order to see these things, one must have a special physique or be in a special environment.

Unfortunately, she couldn't tell anyone else about this.

Something had already happened at home, and it was almost the New Year. If her parents knew that she had seen something dirty, she might really be doomed.

"Miss!" Biyun came over. "Miss, you are here, come back to the room with me and have a rest."

Xu Taotao was silent for a moment; she didn't want to go back.

"Oh, Miss, the Madam is too worried about you. After all, if something happens to the Master, our family may collapse."

As Biyun spoke, she wanted to help Xu Taotao away.

Xu Taotao pushed her away forcefully.

Biyun was very surprised.

"Miss?"

"Don't touch me, I don't want to go back! My dad hasn't woken up yet, let's talk after he wakes up!"

Xu Taotao said this and walked out through the side door.

Biyun followed.

"So are you going to the master and mistress's room? That's fine, I'll go with you. It's getting dark, so don't knock your head!"

Xu Taotao did not refuse this time.

Although she still didn't want to go back and face her mother, after all, she was also worried that something might happen to her father.

There is also a corridor outside the side door, and after turning two corners you can reach your parents' room.

But after walking two steps, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did my earring fall off?"

Biyun was stunned for a moment, looked at her ears carefully, and nodded.

"Yes, one fell off."

"Then go find it for me. It's new. My mother just made it for me. See if it fell on the other side of the screen."

"Then Miss, you..."

"Give me the light, I'll go to my mother's place by myself, you can come find me later."

Biyun nodded, handed the lamp to her, and then turned back to look for the earrings.

Xu Taotao breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

It’s not that she has any problem with Biyun, she just doesn’t want anyone around her.

There is a feeling of airtightness and oppression.

Xu Taotao glanced at the lantern in her hand, then walked towards her parents' room.

When I turned the corner, a gust of wind blew over.

Xu Taotao shivered and rubbed her arms.

When my fingertips passed by my body, they seemed to touch something.

She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked around.

There was no one there.

But just now she really felt as if she had touched something, as if she had been blocked by someone's sleeve.

Is there someone always by your side?

"anyone there?"

She called softly.

But there was no other sound except the sound of the wind blowing past.

Xu Taotao felt a little lost for some reason.

It would be nice to see it.

"Miss!" Biyun's voice rang out, and she strode back.

"Found it. Look, is this your earring?"

Xu Taotao took it absentmindedly, held it in her hand, and didn't even look at it.

When we arrived at the room, the doctor just came out.

Li was sending the doctor away with a pale face. When he saw her, his eyes flickered, and then anger emerged.

This made Xu Taotao purse her lips and stop moving forward.

Until the doctor left.

"Come here!" Li pointed at her with trembling body.

Xu Taotao moved her steps reluctantly and walked in.

The room was filled with a bitter smell of medicine.

The father on the bed had woken up, but the corner of his mouth was crooked and he looked paralyzed.

Li grabbed her and tried to push her to the ground.

"Your Majesty!"
