Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

Su Nan squatted down, his eyes full of tenderness, and asked softly, "Have you ever heard the bell?" The little girl tilted her small head, blinked her bright eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said crisply, "I have heard it, but I don't know where it came from."

The two chatted for a long time. The little girl's face was filled with excitement. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and took Su Nan's hand, saying happily, "Sister, I will take you to a fun place." After that, she jumped in front like a lively little rabbit and led the way.

Su Nan followed the little girl, lightly walking through a lush forest. The trees were tall and straight, their branches intertwined to form a canopy of green. As they emerged from the woods, a small waterfall suddenly appeared before them. Though not powerful, the crystal-clear water flowed like a transparent ribbon, splashing against the rocks with a melodious sound, like a beautiful piece of music played by nature.

The little girl excitedly raised her hand and pointed at the waterfall, with a gleam in her eyes, and said loudly: "Sister, look, isn't it beautiful!" Su Nan looked at the picturesque scenery in front of her, a gentle smile bloomed on her face, and she nodded gently, and her love for this mysterious place grew a little more in her heart.

Su Nan looked at the excited little girl with eyes full of love and said, "It's really beautiful, little sister. Thank you for bringing me here."

The little girl smiled and responded: "Sister, this is not the most beautiful place yet. I will take you to see it again."

Su Nan nodded happily, his eyes full of anticipation, and continued to walk forward with the little girl.

The little girl walked briskly, saying as she walked: "Sister, I have never met anyone here before. It's great to play with you today."

Su Nan reached out and gently touched the little girl's head, saying softly, "Sister is also very happy to meet you."

They walked like this for a while, and then the little girl stopped, with a mysterious expression on her face, and said, "Sister, there is an even more magical place ahead, and I won't tell anyone about it."

Su Nan's eyes were full of curiosity, and he quickly asked, "What is it?"

The little girl blinked her bright eyes and said playfully, "You'll know when you get there!"

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the unknown mysterious place with full anticipation.

As the time spent with the little girl grew longer, Su Nan's doubts grew. The little girl's familiarity with this mysterious place was beyond common sense. She led the way without hesitation at every scene and every path, as if everything was a carefully planned route.

As they passed through a forest, Su Nan couldn't help but notice the unusual growth patterns of the trees. The branches, which should have grown naturally and in a patchwork pattern, were now arranged in an overly regular pattern, with no variation in the density of the leaves. It looked like a carefully staged scene, completely unnatural.

And the little girl's mood remained perpetually cheerful. No matter what scenery she encountered, whether it was exotic flowers or grotesque rocks, she didn't waver or change in mood. Furthermore, Su Nan had accidentally met the little girl's gaze several times and noticed that while her eyes were lively, they lacked the innocence and curiosity of a true child, exploring the unknown world.

What made Su Nan most certain that this was an illusion was that when they walked across a crystal clear stream, there was no reflection of the little girl in the water.

Although Su Nan already had many doubts in her mind, she decided to further confirm whether the little girl was really not human.

She stopped, slowly squatted down, looked at the little girl gently, and said softly: "Little sister, I'm a little tired, can we take a rest for a while?"

The little girl blinked and nodded obediently.

Su Nan took the opportunity to pull the little girl's hand and carefully feel her body temperature and pulse. However, the little girl's hand was extremely cold, as if touching a piece of ice, and there was no pulse at all, as if the hand had no signs of life.

Su Nan was shocked, but remained calm. She continued, "Little sister, can you tell me about your family? For example, your parents?"

The little girl's eyes were empty. Without the slightest hesitation, she spoke quickly and fluently, "My parents are far away. They are very busy every day."

Su Nan frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this answer was too perfunctory and empty, completely lacking the sincere emotions and detailed details that a child should have when describing his parents.

She quietly flipped her right hand, and the Galaxy Sword was instantly in her hand. The light of the sword was cleverly hidden in her wide sleeves.

She looked at the little girl again, her tone becoming serious and sharp: "Monster, stop pretending, I already know your true face!"

The little girl's expression suddenly changed. Her innocent face became gloomy and terrifying. She burst into tears, and her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Su Nan hesitated for a moment, but soon became resolute and said loudly, "Don't try to confuse me with your crying. This illusion can't trap me!"

The little girl kept crying, choking and saying, "Sister, you misunderstood me. I'm really not a monster."

Su Nan snorted coldly and said mercilessly: "Don't try to quibble. If you were human, how could your hands be cold and your pulse be still?"

After saying that, Su Nan raised the Galaxy Sword, the sword body flashing with a cold light, and was about to attack the little girl.

The little girl cried even more sadly, sobbing and saying, "Sister, I really didn't lie to you. I have suffered from a strange disease since I was a child, so my body is so cold and I have no pulse."

The Xinghe Sword in Su Nan's hand paused slightly, and a hint of hesitation arose in his heart, but he quickly regained his determination and said sternly: "Don't try to flatter me. I won't be fooled by you again!"

The little girl cried and looked at Su Nan with pleading eyes, her voice full of grievance: "Sister, please believe me, I just want to be friends with you and show you the beautiful scenery here."

Su Nan remained unmoved, his face stern as he sternly said, "Monster, if you don't show yourself, don't blame my ruthless sword!"

At this moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to distort and shake, like a reflection in water being stirred. The little girl's figure also became blurred, as if she would disappear into this illusion at any moment.

Su Nan gripped the Galaxy Sword tightly, fully alert, and watched the changes around him vigilantly.

I only heard the little girl yelling, "Sister, you will regret this!"

With this scream, the little girl disappeared completely, and the environment around Su Nan instantly became dark and gloomy. Gusts of cold wind blew, and the sound of the wind seemed like the cries of wronged souls, which made people shudder.

Su Nan also realized at this time that she had been standing still, as if she was trapped in an endless cycle.
