The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

351: The Born-Again Male Meets the Transmigrated Female

Those in VIP boxes had their own private exits, so they didn’t have to squeeze out with the rest of the auction attendees.
Ming Xi and the others didn’t talk much after the auction; they just walked out happily after getting more snacks.

However, as they were walking out, they found there were several people cautiously staring at them.
A few directly came up with invitation letters to be guests at their master’s mansion.

Their masters wanted to find out the identity of those sitting in the mysterious ZERO box, so they were trying to woo Ming Xi.
Naturally they wouldn’t appear themselves.
They were too arrogant for that, instead they sent their butlers or servants.

Ming Xi accepted the invitations with a smile, but did not say whether he would go or not.
He and his group were not interested in these kinds of entertainment.

Feng Wu walked beside Ming Xi.
She held the ancient rui egg in her hand and from time to time would telepathically talk to it.

One girl and one baby rui talked to each other happily.
Feng Wu had always been a child with an affinity for animals.
And although the rui beast wouldn’t say it, he also liked Feng Wu very much.

Not far from their group, Zi Cheng, Yifu, and Jasmine watched the scene.

Yifu had never liked Feng Wu, so she was incredibly upset when she saw Feng Wu holding the egg that Zi Cheng wanted.
Her first impulse was to run over and demand Feng Wu hand the egg obediently over to Zi Cheng.

Yifu’s way of thinking was thusly: if Zi Cheng wanted it, then Zi Cheng should get it.
It didn’t matter who had it first.
Anyone who refused was a sinful and vicious person.

If Zi Cheng hadn’t been holding her hand, she really would have rushed over.

On the other side were Ai Lin and Eliza.
Ai Lin had not expected to run into Ming Xi and the rest of the group.
She had known his group was somewhere in the maritime world, but she hadn’t been sure about the exact location.
Most of her energy had been spent keeping tabs on Zi Cheng.

“It turned out, they’re the ones with the ore.
Since you like it, approach them and try to buy it.” Eliza came up with the suggestion when she saw her friend deep in thought.

A bunch of things ran through Zo’s mind at the unexpected sight of Eliza.
In the future timeline, she would be killed by his brother, her fiancé.
He had to protect her somehow and not let her fall victim to the same tragic fate again.
“Eliza!” he called out.

Eliza turned her head at the voice.
She was so surprised to see Zo that her mouth opened in an O.
“Zo!”

Zo rarely ever left his home, let alone travel as far as the Biluo islands.
How could she not be surprised?

“Eliza, how are you doing? I haven’t seen you in so long.” Zo suppressed his excitement and tried hard not to let himself behave strangely.

Eliza blinked playfully.
“What haven’t seen you in a long time? We just saw each other not more than two months ago.
How could you forget?” She pursed her lips in pretend dissatisfaction.

“Who is this?” Zo avoided her question and asked one of his own as he looked at Ai Lin.

He hadn’t noticed her before, but now that he looked closer, he realized there was a problem.
First, he was certain there had never been any such girl beside Eliza in the previous life.
Second, her energy fluctuations were similar to his own!

That was to say, the energy she emitted was that of a soul that had passed through the time tunnel.
Could this girl have also come from the future?

So many different speculations flashed through Zo’s mind, but he didn’t show them on his face.
His expression was peaceful and his eyes were gentle.

“This is my new friend, Ai Lin.
Ai Lin, this is my childhood friend, Zo.” Eliza introduced them.

“Hello Zo.” Ai Lin greeted Zo.

In response, Zo greeted her back.
“Hello Miss Ai Lin.”

Ai Lin had to think hard to remember that Zo was the male lead’s younger brother, who also happened to be Eliza’s fiancé.

The hero’s brother…
Ah! She remembered now.
The male lead had a waste brother who could not cultivate either magic or martial qi.
He had been that way since childhood.

In the story, Zi Cheng had run into Caesar where the heart of water was located.
Caesar knew the heart could warm the body and would be useful for a water magician, which was what his brother, Zo, was.
Zo was a natural born water magician; it was just that he had such an incredibly low affinity for water.
Caesar was certain Zo’s body would get better if he got the heart of water.

Zi Cheng had a good impression of Caesar, but the heart of water was an invaluable treasure.
How could she bear to see it go to someone she had never met before? She told him it would be useful to her and that he should not give it to his brother.
Try as she might, she could not convince Caesar to give it up.

But all that changed after she saved his life.
From that moment on, Zi Cheng became his entire world and he never mentioned giving the heart of water to Zo after that.

The only time Zo came up in the story again was when Eliza died.
It was Zo’s saddest moment.
He made an ardent wish to be a man worthy of her in the next life as he placed flowers on her grave.

He was just a side character with limited appearance.
It was the last time Zo appeared in the story until after Zi Cheng and Caesar ascended.

Considering the entire plot, it would have been better for Eliza to accept Zo’s affection instead of falling into the black pit of love between the hero and heroin.

Eliza had no idea what her two friends were thinking.
She was happy to see Zo, so later on they all went to dinner together and she forgot all about the ancient rui egg.

They chose a private box at a restaurant, then ordered delicious food and two bottles of wine, chatting all the while as they ate.

“I wonder where Brother Caesar is.
I definitely heard his voice at the auction.
I wanted to meet him after the auction and I even had people wait for him.
They waited so long only to find out he had already left.” Eliza pouted.
“He came to the auction house but didn’t even call me up.
He knew I’d be on Biluo island.
It’s like we’re not even engaged.
He’s not taking me seriously at all.”
