Chapter 204
We entered a long passageway, very much in the style of an ancient tomb; the inspiration for this decoration was probably from the wrong reference book.
As I walked, I felt the light beside me dim, and the smoky smell was replaced by a fresh scent.
Xander leaned down and whispered, “How did we become so fated?”
Looking at the girl ahead, I gently covered my mouth and whispered back, “I paid a lot of money.”
“What?”
Xander pretended not to hear.
I repeated, “I paid a lot of money.”
What did you say?”
!…!”
Are you hard of hearing, Xander? My wolf scratched its head, signaling me not to lose patience.
Speechless, I circled my arms, tiptoed, and leaned towards his ear. He cooperatively bent down. My hot breath lightly brushed his
ear.
Xander’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His wolf silently sighed with satisfy,” FINALLY CLOSER TO ME…”
He suddenly turned his face. I unexpectedly met his gaze. Tiptoeing was already difficult, and his sudden action completely threw
me off balance.
Xander steadied me, his hand circling my waist, imitating my action, leaning close to my ear, whispering softly, “Little rich girl,
you’re so clever.”
From my hair to my fingernails, I felt numb. I don’t know what was thinking, only that my heart was overloaded. My wolf was too shock to react. I raised my hand… and suddenly pushed him away.
Xander was caught off guard and used his hand to support himself against the wall. A row of copper coins hung on the wall; couching one triggered a chain reaction, creating a series of sounds.
I quickly took two steps forward, as if avoiding responsibility.
[vy and Derek behind us:“…”
They secretly complained through the bond,” He told us to be quiet, but he created a commotion himself.a flirtatious one.”
The girl in front stopped and turned around, seeing Xander retract his hand.
Her face flushed slightly; she felt sorry but still softly warned,“…You can’t steal the copper coins, you know.”
Xander:“…”
I was still flustered, but this diverted my attention.
Ivy and Derek tried hard to stifle their laughter.
Finally, the girl led us to a room, “Please wait inside; I’ll come get you when it’s time. Don’t wander around; this place houses deities and ghosts collected by the Madame Huang, and disturbing them will have serious consequences. See you later. Especially, today is fullmoon.”
She left.
The four of us sat down in the room. This was probably a waiting room for guests; besides tables and chairs, there were tea and snacks.

Twas still slightly uneasy from Xander’s earlier actions, and after seeing him sit down, I chose a seat that wasn’t too close or too far from him.
“Grant…”
