Chapter 120 Why aren't they friends?
[The Human World, the Ye Luoli Doll Shop]
After seeing the children off, Xin Ling returned to the back hall and was surprised to find that the box containing the Dark Silk and the Dark Silk itself had disappeared. The only thing on the empty table was a stack of money that only humans would use.
"This is...?" Xin Ling couldn't hide her shock. Could it be a prank by those children from earlier?
But what disappeared at this moment was An Ling, who was the sixth fairy who was related to the key to the gate, which made Xin Ling nervous.
……
[The Human World, Mo Xiao's Home]
Mo Xiao bid farewell to Feng Yinsha and returned to her home—a spacious courtyard and luxurious duplex villa that could only be seen in the home of Chen Sisi, who was equally wealthy.
As soon as Mo Xiao entered, she heard the rambling, incessant chatter of the butler:
"Young Miss, how could you leave home alone?"
"This is really worrying. Next time, let Lao Lu (the driver) accompany you."
"Or I can come with you, but please don't leave home alone..."
"..."
"Okay, okay..." Mo Xiao felt like the housekeeper was nagging her so much she was about to get a headache.
It's not that she dislikes this kind of care, but she's always been used to a life that revolves around three points (school-hospital-home), and sometimes she wants to go out and clear her head by herself.
However, she could understand the driver's concerns. After all, in other people's eyes, she was still a girl with some eye problems who was likely to be in danger and who was powerless.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room now. Call me when it's time for dinner."
"Yes, Miss..." Having served as the Mo family's butler for many years, spending most of his time taking care of this poor child, it was hard for the butler not to develop some feelings for Mo Xiao, so he inevitably rambled on for a few minutes.
Mo Xiao carried the tote bag upstairs, locked the door in her room, and then took out the doll she had gotten from the Ye Luoli doll shop that day.
This cool-looking doll is quite different from Mo Xiao's sweet girl aesthetic, but with opposite personalities, why can't they be a perfect match?
Just as Mo Xiao was marveling at how exquisite and lifelike the Dark Silk was, the Dark Silk in Mo Xiao's hand suddenly blinked.
"!" Mo Xiao was so startled by this sudden change that she almost threw the dark silk ribbon away.
However, to prevent the doll from falling, Mo Xiao forced herself to calm down a bit. But she didn't expect that the dark ribbon would slip out of her hand and fly right in front of her.
“You…” Mo Xiao looked at the flying and moving doll in front of her and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Hello, my name is An Ling." An Ling greeted Mo Xiao calmly, and fearing that Mo Xiao might be afraid of her, she used the same words that other fairies used: "I come from the Ye Luoli Fairy Realm, and I was cursed and turned into a doll."
"Cursed?" Mo Xiao immediately thought of the wicked queen in the fairy tales she read as a child. So fairy tales are real after all?
"Yes, I need to find a human master to help me restore my life and magic, and you are the master I have chosen." An Ling's voice sounded calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority, even if it were a fairy tale.
"Choose me to be your master?" Mo Xiao didn't quite understand An Ling's meaning and innocently asked, "If you really are a fairy, why do you want me to be your master? Can't we be friends?"
Of course, Mo Xiao asked this question not only because she was a normal person, but also because she had almost no friends.
Because she frequently goes to the hospital for eye treatments, Mo Xiao spends most of her time at the hospital and rarely leaves the house, so she has no friends.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily continued to consider Feng Yinsha, whom she hadn't seen for several years, as a friend.
They wouldn't feel any affection for this doll that they'd only met once, and whose background they didn't even know, yet was showing kindness.
“Uh…” Even An Ling, who didn’t have much real emotion, really didn’t understand what Mo Xiao was saying.
Because when Mandora set up the seal, she said "enslaved by humans," so whether it was Fairy Xinling or other fairies, they all assumed that they had to find a human master to form a contract in order to restore their life and fairy power. But forming a contract doesn't seem to require finding a master, right?
Since her birth, Anling had only known how to follow orders and had never thought about such complicated issues. However, seeing the innocence, or rather sincerity, in Mo Xiao's eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart: "Okay, then let's be friends from now on..."
"That's great!" Mo Xiao has been loved by everyone in her family since she was a child, so she is not lacking in love. However, at times she also wants someone to listen to her, because she really doesn't want her family to worry about her anymore.
"So, my friend, are you willing to form a contract with me?" An Ling hadn't forgotten that she couldn't use magic without forming a contract, so she asked Mo Xiao.
"Okay, but how exactly should we do it?" Mo Xiao asked curiously.
"Hold out your hand," Anling said, extending her tiny finger. "Say it after me—"
“I, Anling, am willing to form a Ye Luoli contract with Mo Xiao.”
"I, Mo Xiao, am willing to form a Ye Luoli contract with An Ling."
