The End of Ten Days: When Qi Xia Enters the Tales of Rules

The strange young master looked like an eight or nine-year-old boy, with a pale face and extreme shyness.

"Can you really help me?" the strange young master asked.

"Of course, now that I've found you hiding here, I can definitely help you," Qi Xia said.

The strange young master said, "I lost an arm, and it hurts terribly. If you can find it for me, I will thank you."

"Okay. But before that, could you tell me what those faceless skulls are all about?"

"Those were products created by 'God,' but they were a batch of failed, defective products, so they were buried underground and used as fertilizer."

"A creation of God?"

The young master nodded: "That's right, I heard it from my sister."

Qi Xia seemed thoughtful, then asked, "How did you manage to avoid the tide this moonlit night?"

"As a young master, isn't it normal for me to have a few maids? Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, just asking."

The strange young master pointed outside and said, "Go, go find my arm. If you can't find it, use one of your arms as a substitute."

finished,

Its surrounding yin energy became extremely cold.

Qi Xia glanced around the room, then quickly grabbed a hoe and went outside. He spotted a spot, and with one stroke of the hoe, he unearthed a skeletal arm.

Qi Xia handed the skeleton to the strange young master.

The eerie young master said, "Are you sure this is my arm? If I dug up the wrong one, you'll have to pay with one of your arms."

Qi Xia said, "Hurry up and change, stop talking nonsense."

The strange young master asked incredulously, "The whole flower field is full of arms, how do you know this one is mine?"

"It's simple. Your height gives you away."

"Huh?" The strange young master looked incredulous.

Qi Xia explained, "Your arm must be extremely important to you, and you must be keeping a close eye on it at all times. I estimated your height and looked at the two holes in the door. It's easy to tell that you're keeping a close eye on your arm through those two holes. As long as you shoot straight through the holes, it's very easy to find your arm."

After hearing the explanation, the strange young master couldn't help but clap and cheer.

"You're so clever. Those who couldn't find my arm, their arms are buried in the flower field."

The strange young master moved his newly reattached arm and said, "Tell me, you helped me, what reward do you want?"

Qi Xia said, "I want to know how the 'Moonlit Tides' are formed."

"According to my mother, it was set up by multiple gods together, and its power is almost comparable to the 'power of rules.' Everyone must abide by its operating principles."

"Many gods..." Qi Xia murmured softly.

The enigmatic young master said, "I have a request, I wonder if you can grant it?"

"What request?"

"I want to ask my mother to let you stay and take care of me alone. I wonder if you would be willing?"

Qi Xia's eyes flickered: "There's no need for that."

The strange young master, unwilling to give up, said, "I see you're so clever, why don't you stay and help me? If you agree, I'll immediately form a contract with you, and you can use my abilities."

"contract?"

"That's right. Once the contract is formed, our fates will be intertwined, and you can use my abilities and skills."

"No need," Qi Xia refused decisively.

The two talked for a while.

Qi Xia felt she wouldn't get any useful information, so she chose to leave.

The eerie young master watched Qi Xia's departing figure and said quietly, "What a pity. He's quite a smart person, but he'll soon become fertilizer."

……

The next day.

The candidates were tasked with trimming the flowerbeds.

Today's task isn't difficult. As long as you're careful and don't damage the flowers, it shouldn't be too challenging.

Because they completed the task well on the first day, everyone received a red rose.

According to the housekeeper, the moonlit tide will arrive at midnight tonight, at which time the red rose will have a tremendous effect.

After everyone finished their work, they each found their assigned partners and stayed together without moving.

The woman who teamed up with Qi Xia had found him long ago and silently followed him wherever he went.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then handed the red rose to Qi Xia: "Brother, you can have the flower."

Qi Xia said, "This is your reward, why are you giving it to me?"

"I heard them say that it will be very dangerous for anyone without a red rose tonight, so..."

"No need, I've already figured out the rules of this manor, we'll all escape."

The girl nodded emphatically.

……

The hour and minute hands on the clock coincide at the number twelve.

A dull bell rang out.

A scarlet moon hung in the sky.

then.

The whole manor came alive with activity.

The flowers in the garden are blooming in profusion.

Many of the "guests" were also invited.

A red glow enveloped the entire manor.

In a trance.

A man and a woman could be vaguely seen dancing a graceful waltz in the living room.

"Guests carrying red roses, please enter!"

A voice seemed to come from the mist.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to help Qi Xia...

A bouquet of red roses was quietly placed in Qi Xia's hand.

"Getting a red rose in one night isn't difficult at all," Qi Xia said.

The girl who was paired with Qi Xia was also delighted when she saw Qi Xia take out the red rose.

As everyone pulled out red roses, they seemed to be invited guests, and instantly found themselves in a huge ballroom.

Those who didn't have red roses were instantly wiped out and thrown into the flower bushes.

……

People gradually got a clear look at the faces around them, including the lady and the young lady.

Moreover, they were each holding a bouquet of red roses.

Even though they are the owners of the manor, it seems they can't get special treatment.

A man in a white suit appeared under the lights. He gave a graceful bow to the crowd and said, "Next, you will choose your male or female dance partners. Those without partners will be eliminated."

The scene was chaotic.

Everyone sprang into action, searching for their dance partners.

Fortunately, the test takers were well-prepared.

Lin Yi noticed that both the lady and the young lady had chosen a handsome dance partner.

As the music began.

Several strange individuals who hadn't chosen their dance partners were instantly eliminated and thrown off the stage.

These must have been newcomers; they were completely bewildered when they were eliminated.

The man in the suit gently put his arm around his dance partner's waist and said, "Now comes the exciting moment. This game is called 'Single Survival,' meaning that only one person from a couple can survive. Have you decided who will live?"

Done.

A sharp knife was already plunged into the dancer's chest.

Blood spurted out, staining the carpet red.

This completely ignited the atmosphere of tonight's banquet.
