I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

Xuan Moyuan's eyes grew even deeper, then he smiled at her with an extremely gentle expression, staring intently into her eyes as he continued speaking:

"According to what Ms. Bai said yesterday, nursing home volunteers need to be both loyal and reliable, and also able to endure hardship..."

"In this regard, I do have a suitable candidate in mind, but I wonder... if Miss Bai would be willing to accept someone with a disability?"

At this point, Bai Mengran was shocked, but she could more or less guess what he meant from his words.

She frowned slightly, and thoughtfully asked in a soft voice:

"Does His Majesty mean that he intends to use wounded soldiers as volunteers?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Moyuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that she would be so intelligent as to guess correctly after he had only given a general description.

He couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect, his eyes filled with admiration and praise.

"exactly!"

Xuan Moyuan nodded solemnly, and then poured out his thoughts without reservation:

"When I first ascended the throne, Anshun was beset by internal and external troubles and frequent wars."

Although our generals led from the front and fought bravely against the enemy, every battle inevitably results in losses, with countless deaths and injuries..."

At this point, Bai Mengran clearly sensed a hidden sadness in his words and eyes.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and his tone faltered slightly for a moment before he took a deep breath and said:

"After that battle, countless soldiers were wounded or disabled."

Although I have done my utmost to provide financial and material assistance and to arrange for their livelihood to be secured, ensuring their basic needs are met...

However, many soldiers lost their ambition and became increasingly depressed after that, unable to realize their aspirations...

I couldn't bear to see them lose their fighting spirit at such a young age, so when Miss Bai mentioned the need for volunteers, I immediately thought of them...

If Miss Bai agrees, could you perhaps select some of these wounded soldiers who are still capable of volunteering? Perhaps this could give them a reason to live and a sense of hope…

Before Xuan Moyuan could finish speaking, Bai Mengran immediately expressed her deep agreement.

In her view, these wounded soldiers were just as respectable and admirable as modern soldiers who sacrificed or were injured for their country.

Those who sacrifice their own interests for the greater good must be people with great love in their hearts and noble character.

“That would be perfect. I have complete confidence in the character and integrity of these wounded soldiers. After all, taking care of the elderly requires a lot of patience…”

The two shared the same idea and quickly reached an agreement, working together to resolve the staffing issues for the two public welfare venues.

Afterwards, Bai Mengran only needs to determine the location herself, and the relevant court officials will be fully responsible for following up on the subsequent matters.

During the discussions with the other party, Bai Mengran was repeatedly surprised by how highly their ideas aligned!

It's hard to imagine that the ruler of this ancient world I randomly transmigrated to would be so farsighted and insightful...

What's more... he's so handsome!

At this moment, Bai Mengran's affection for this man, who was both handsome and kind, skyrocketed.

However, she still couldn't be sure if Xuan Moyuan had... any special feelings for her?

If you both like each other, why waste time? Just go on a date!

It's a pity she can't read minds, so she can't just ask the other person directly, can she?

If I did that, wouldn't my fairy-tale persona collapse immediately...?

Eh?etc!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Bai Mengran.

She remembered that her own adorable little mouse had just stolen a few [True Word Fruits] from another family's spirit field!

He even suffered imprisonment for it, so we can't let that poor kid suffer for nothing, can we?

Otherwise, then...

Bai Mengran, who had already been thinking of inviting him to stroll around the aquarium which was not yet open, was now even more eager to find out his feelings by "cheating".

So, she pretended to take out her phone to cover it up, but in reality, she quickly opened her personal bag in the system background and frantically searched for the True Word Fruit she had stored there.

After finding it, she carefully read through the instructions.

It turns out that after consuming the Mantra Fruit, there is a one-minute countdown timer for asking questions.

Within that minute, the person who consumes it will reveal the truth, and will forget it completely afterwards.

This... is practically a mind-reading artifact!

So, Bai Mengran quickly conceived a outline of the questions she most wanted to ask in a one-minute rapid-fire Q&A session. After roughly listing the questions, she immediately put it into action without hesitation.

"Um, Zhaoheng... I have a delicious candy here~ Here, have a taste?"

As if casually, she took out a Truth Fruit that looked just like a candy and called him affectionately.

Xuan Moyuan, who was completely powerless to resist being addressed by the white-clad girl, was slightly taken aback and looked up at her with a hint of surprise.

Seeing a particularly tempting red candy lying quietly in the center of her palm, Xuan Moyuan's lips unconsciously curled up. He happily thanked her softly, then carefully took it without any suspicion and put it directly into his mouth.

As the True Word Fruit was quickly absorbed and took effect, one could immediately see that although the person in front of him remained unchanged in posture, his eyes seemed to have become slightly stagnant.

When she saw the one-minute countdown clearly displayed above his head, Bai Mengran didn't dare to slack off in the slightest and immediately started asking questions as quickly as possible.

"Hello? Can you hear me? Who are you?" Bai Mengran asked tentatively.

"I can hear you. I am Xuan Moyuan, the King of Anshun Kingdom."

Wow, this Mantra Fruit truly lives up to its name, the effects are amazing! It's incredible!

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he answered her question decisively and without hesitation!

Bai Mengran was pleasantly surprised by the magical power of this small spiritual fruit, and dared not delay any longer, for fear that the minute of questioning time would pass too quickly and be gone in an instant.

In her haste, she blurted out the question that had been bothering her most: "Do you have someone you like?"

"Have."

"Is it a young lady or..."

In her nervousness, Bai Mengran's mouth moved faster than her brain. By the time she realized she had accidentally asked a question about BL (Boys' Love), she wanted to quickly skip it to avoid wasting time...

To everyone's surprise, the other party actually took it seriously and replied with a solemn expression:

"The one I desire is naturally the young lady!"

Bai Mengran couldn't help but mentally spit at herself twice.

Looking up and seeing that there were only thirty-odd seconds left on the countdown, she quickly sped up her speech and got straight to the point:

"Who? Please tell me her name!"

As she asked the question, Bai Mengran stared intently at his mouth, eager to hear the answer she most wanted to know.

Will it really be as I hope?
