Chapter 517 Collecting Treasures
Chapter 517 Collecting Treasures
Ni Naina was in a magnificent palace, eager to take back her scepter that symbolized power and status.
However, no matter how loudly she shouted, the palace maids and guards seemed unaware of her presence and did not even look at her.
Faced with this confusing and helpless situation, Ni Naina decided to find another way. After some thought, she thought of the treasure house in the palace. Since she couldn't take back what she was supposed to have, she might as well take all the treasures here for herself. After all, she finally had the opportunity to step into this place, so how could she let herself go back empty-handed?
So, Ni Nainai walked towards the treasure pavilion with firm steps. Along the way, her guards ignored her existence just like everyone else.
Without any hesitation, Ni Nainai walked into the treasure house. There were a dazzling array of rare treasures emitting dazzling light. As she chanted something, brilliant rays of light shot out from the treasures, and those treasures were sucked into the ring one after another.
However, what was surprising was that the space on the ring on her hand was really small. Compared with the numerous treasures piled up around it, it was simply dwarfed by the vast array of treasures. It was completely unable to hold all of these rare treasures.
At this moment, an old man with snow-white hair appeared in front of her silently like a ghost.
The old man had a kind face and a amiable demeanor. He gently combed his white beard that was almost dragging on the ground and said to her with a smile:
"Girl, all the treasures here belong to you. You don't need to take them away with you because no one dares to use even one of them without permission."
Hearing this, Ni Nainai couldn't help but feel puzzled. She stared at the mysterious old man in front of her with wide eyes and asked doubtfully, "Old man, you can actually see me?"
Upon hearing this, the old man laughed heartily and replied cheerfully, "Hahahahaha, little girl, I've noticed you a long time ago! It's just that you haven't noticed my existence all this time. An old man like me, who is in his twilight years, is naturally easily overlooked."
"Old man, do you know where this place is? Am I the owner of this place? Or... am I just a ghost left in the world?"
"Ah...?" The old man stared at Ni Naina with suspicion on his face. His forehead, which was already full of wrinkles, now had several more obvious wrinkles because of his deep doubts.
"Don't you remember this place?" the old man said, pointing to the familiar environment around him, his eyes full of disbelief.
Ni Naina shook her head in bewilderment, her clear eyes full of doubts: "Should I remember?"
This place seemed completely unfamiliar to her, without any clues that could evoke her memories.
Hearing this, the old man widened his eyes, staggered forward a few steps, came to Ni Naina and asked anxiously:
"This... this is not you... you can't even remember my name?" His voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was deeply shocked.
Faced with the old man's excited reaction, Ni Naina became more and more confused and asked:
"Should I remember you?"
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the confusion and puzzlement in the two people's eyes as they looked at each other.
"No, let me see, let me see, something must be wrong, it must be wrong, how could this happen?"
The old man muttered to himself and waved his sleeves. A table appeared in front of him. He grabbed five copper coins on the table and scattered them on the table. Then he held them in his right hand and counted for a while before nodding and looking at Ni Naina.
However, the moment he slowly raised his head, Ni Nainai's lively figure had long disappeared from his sight. In the blink of an eye, she had run upstairs to pick out those mouth-watering treasures.
"Hey, wait for me! Don't move!" The anxious old man shouted loudly, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly with a worried look on his face, and climbed hurriedly towards the stairs.
You know, this place is filled with all kinds of intricate and mysterious traps. If you accidentally touch any of them, this magnificent palace will probably be reduced to ruins in an instant!
If that happens, she will come back one day and skin them alive!
