Floating life reflects two lotuses

"Lianlian, let's go home. We can talk on the way." Xu Nianni had a friendly smile on her face, but her tone revealed the tension of "how to appease this troublemaker."

"Go home?" Chu Wanlian raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "How dare you, you insolent commoners, interrupt my palace as you please?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nianni nearly fell backward. Her inner monologue was a barrage of thoughts: "My God! Has she really gone mad? This acting is worthy of a Hengdian World Studios!" She quickly forced a smile: "Yes, yes, let's go back to the palace! Don't worry, the palace is spacious and bright, and the imperial chef has prepared a midnight snack, just waiting for you!"

Chu Wanlian glanced at her with a skeptical look: "Hmph, you do have a good eye. However, if you're trying to deceive this princess... ha, that's an even bigger crime!"

Xu Nianni's smile froze, and she rolled her eyes inwardly: "Sorry, whose side am I on?" She mustered her last bit of patience: "Let's go, Princess, the palace isn't far from here, we'll be there soon."

A terrifying modern-day taxi ride for the princess who travels back in time.

On the way, Chu Wanlian sat in the car with a wary expression, her eyes scanning her surroundings. The neon-lit streets and speeding vehicles made her frown.

"Why are these strange carriages going so fast?" she asked, pointing at the cars outside the window, her tone full of doubt.

“This is… a flying car powered by spirit stones,” Xu Nianni casually made up. “Look how fast technology is developing!”

Chu Wanlian snorted coldly: "Ridiculous! This princess saw through it at a glance; these are clearly evil arts."

Xu Nianni coughed, almost bursting out laughing: "You have a good eye. Yes, yes, these are all evil spells. Modern people have such hard lives, they rely entirely on evil spells to save their lives."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Wanlian's gaze was suddenly drawn to an advertising screen: "Who is so bold as to hang such a huge scroll? And even make the figures in the painting move? Are there living people trapped inside?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nianni almost burst out laughing: "Princess! This is called LED screen advertising. People just use it for promotion. It's not that scary!"

"Hmph!" Chu Wanlian tossed her head dismissively. "Liar! If I weren't feeling unwell today, I would definitely investigate this sorcery thoroughly!"

Xu Nianni drove while trying to suppress her laughter, her mind racing with mirth: "Has she been watching some time-travel drama and gotten hooked? I have to hold it in, hold it in!"

The Modern "Social Death" Moment After Arriving Home

After finally arriving back at the Xiao family home, Xu Nianni parked the car and breathed a sigh of relief: "We're here. This is your bedroom."

Chu Wanlian got out of the car and stared at the tall building in front of her, instantly stunned: "How can this palace be so ugly... it's like... a giant birdcage!"

Xiao's mother came out from downstairs to greet her, her face full of worry: "Lianlian, you're finally back! The doctor said you have some brain problems and need to rest well."

"Insolence!" Chu Wanlian glanced at her coldly. "How dare you be so disrespectful to this princess, calling me 'mentally unstable'? I'll say it again! Guards, drag her away!"

"Who's here?" Xiao's mother stared in disbelief. "Ni Ni, tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Nianni chuckled awkwardly and pulled Xiao's mother aside: "Auntie, calm down, this is called immersive role-playing, a relaxation therapy she just learned... Let's go inside!"

Upon entering the room, Chu Wanlian frowned: "This is the bedchamber? It's so simple, there's not even an embroidered stool. How can this reflect the noble status of this princess?"

Xiao's mother suppressed her anger, her mind churning: "She may be lazy, but she's not usually this outrageous, is she? Is she delirious from a fever?"

"Lianlian, let's get some rest. This... bedroom... we can rearrange it when we have time!" Xu Nianni replied with difficulty, inwardly complaining, "If she says 'this princess' again, I'll really kneel down."

As they were talking, Chu Wanlian suddenly noticed the remote control on the coffee table. She picked it up and examined it closely, her expression immediately turning solemn: "What kind of magical weapon is this? It's all black and has a peculiar shape. Could it be some kind of hidden weapon or mechanism?"

"..." Xu Nianni was completely speechless. She snatched the remote control and said, "Princess, you're tired. This is... a magical item from our modern palace. It can be used to control the TV!"

Chu Wanlian looked incredulous: "Nonsense! This is clearly a magical artifact! Don't try to fool this princess!"

Just as they were at an impasse, Xiao's mother came over with a glass of water: "Lianlian, drink some water. You haven't eaten properly all day."

Chu Wanlian stared at the glass of water suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, then took it and took a sip: "The taste is strange, is it poisoned?"

Xiao's mother's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the water glass: "Lianlian! Have you got your head caught in a door?! This is purified water, where would any poison come from?"

"Hmph, I'll drink it then. If it's really poisoned, I'll take you all down with me!" Chu Wanlian tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, staring at the empty cup with a complicated expression: "It certainly has a unique flavor."

Back in her room, Chu Wanlian sat on the bed, her expression serious: "This place is full of traps and mechanisms, this princess must be careful!"

Meanwhile, Xu Nianni slumped onto the sofa, covering her face and wailing softly, "What kind of absurd plot is this... Someone save me!"

In the room, Chu Wanlian picked up the familiar white jade bracelet, her eyes gradually turning cold: "You vixen, this matter is definitely related to you. Let's see how long you can remain so arrogant!"
