Chapter 297 The Governor of Black City

Wang Qing did not say anything.

But Murong Xue could not help it. "Where are your men taking Feng Ziling?" Not long after they passed the gate, she saw several guards taking Feng Ziling going in the opposite direction.

"Aren't you too concerned about him?" Wang Qing's face became cold.

"He is my only family here. Who else would care about him if I didn't?"

Wang Qing stopped moving. "The only family? What about your parents?"

Murong Xue sighed and looked up to the sky. "They are not in this world." She missed them.

"I am sorry. I..."

"Don't overthink. My parents must be alive, waiting for me to find them." She did not want to waste any time. She wanted to get out of this world as soon as possible.

However, what she said meant different to Wang Qing. In his eyes, "Not in this world" was the euphemism people used when their family passed away. Therefore, when Murong Xue said her parents must be alive, he thought that she was avoiding reality and comforting herself.

Wang Qing said, "Let's go back and have a rest. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

"I want to see the governor of Black City." Murong Xue paused for a moment before she continued. "I don't want to be your enemy or hate you, but I want to make it clear to you that we are not from the same world and you'd better free me now."

"What do you mean? You are taking Snow Country's side?" Wang Qing could only come up with this explanation. Mu Tian was forced to stay with him, but he did not think it was a big deal. Mu Tian had no family there, so he did not think Mu Tian would defend Snow Country, either.

"No, I don't take sides. I'm from another world. Do you understand?" Murong Xue wanted to be honest now. Wang Qing had been good to her all the way here, so she could not regard him as an enemy. She let him decide. It was good for all if he could let them go. Or, they could only end up fighting against each other.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Are you trying to tell me you're a ghost?" Wang Qing sneered. He did not believe a word she said.

Murong Xue knew it was not easy to convince him. "Come with me."

Murong Xue walked into an inn and rented a room.

Being dragged into the inn's room by Mu Tian, Wang Qing said shyly, "It's inappropriate to skip all the other steps. Let's get married first."

Murong Xue rolled her eyes at him. "What are you talking about? I just want to show you I'm from another world."

"Okay. Show me."

"Watch closely." Murong Xue vanished at once. She changed her purple hair back in the Space and showed up in front of him.

As she expected, she saw Wang Qing's terrified face.

"You..." Wang Qing stammered and got choked up.

Murong Xue just stood there in silence, waiting for Wang Qing to process it. She did not want to tell him, but he was not a bad man except that he forced them to come to Black City. She did not want to be his enemy, so she wanted to have a peaceful solution.

After a long time, Wang Qing grabbed the teapot to pour himself a cup of tea and seemed to calm down after a few drinks. "Where did you go?"

Murong Xue explained indifferently, "You don't need to know. The only thing you need to know is that I'm from a different world. Now you see you can't trap me. I just did not want to give myself away before."

Wang Qing fell silent and his brain was spinning. He was unable to find other explanations for what Mu Tian just did, but what Mu Tian said could explain why he and Feng Ziling popped up out of nowhere.

Murong Xue sighed and sat down. Looking at Wang Qing, she said sincerely, "I really don't want to be your enemy. We just want to go home and our stay is temporary, so..."

Wang Qing changed his face several times. "Since you could escape and avoid all of these, why didn't you? Why are you asking me?" As a clever man, he got to the point quickly.

Murong Xue sighed at his quick response. The answer to his question was that she was the only one who had the Space, but she remained calm. "Do you think how many people could peacefully accept that we vanish and appear willingly like you? We don't escape because we don't want to cause panic. More importantly, we have to find the way home. We can't keep hiding."

"Why do you want to go home? Isn't it good to stay here? You can have everything you want if you stay. I'll love you with all my heart." He really liked Mu Tian, but he was not determined to get him yet.

Murong Xue found his words funny. "All my families are not here, and you ask me why I want to go home? I don't want money, power, or glory. I could have them all by myself."

"Let me see..." Wang Qing was still unwilling to give up.

After a long time, his stare at Mu Tian became horrifying. He was thinking if he should break her arms and legs to stop her from running away from him.

His eyes turned Murong Xue's blood to ice. "Stop whatever you're thinking about now."

She found his stare very creepy. She noticed the weird thing about Wang Qing from the very beginning that he seemed to have a dual personality.

Wang Qing's red eyes got back to normal. Then he said, "Go to meet the governor if you really want, but I guess he probably won't see you. Of course, I'll take care of Feng Ziling while you're away. You'll come back, won't you?"

Murong Xue asked back, "Did you hear what I just said? We are from different worlds. Don't bother yourself about it."

"I heard you, but so what? You haven't found the way home yet. Maybe you can't go home for the rest of your life. If so, why should I give up now?" Despite the shock, Wang Qing calmed down to analyze the whole situation and found the best solution. He was certain that Mu Tian had other worries since he did not just disappear and run away. Otherwise, he did not need to convince him with great effort.

The more he thought about it, the soberer he became. He sneered as he realized that he could not let down his guard for a second in front of Mu Tian, who was as sly as a fox. If not, he would be doing whatever Mu Tian wanted soon.

Murong Xue gritted her teeth. She did want to fool him by vanishing suddenly, but Wang Qing was much cannier than she thought and was too sensitive to be deceived. Now that he would not free Feng Ziling, she had to come up with a new plan.

"Fine. I'll go to see the governor." Anyway, she still wanted to meet the governor of Black City.

Wang Qing said, "I'll go with you."

Seeing Mu Tian's determined face, he wanted to figure out how Mu Tian could get to meet the governor.

The governor refused to see him, the prince of Fire Country, so he believed that Mu Tian did not stand any chance.

"Wait a minute." Murong Xue entered the Space to dye her purple hair that failed to startle Wang Qing before.

Wang Qing had seen her vanish suddenly once, but he still found it unbelievable when Murong Xue did it again.

In his eyes, Mu Tian was a god-like man now.

When Mu Tian showed up, Wang Qing noticed that his hair became black. He asked before he could stop himself, "People in your world all have purple hair?"

"No. Most of us have black hair, but there are other colors, such as yellow."

"How did you change the hair color?"

Murong Xue asked, "Let us go, and I'll tell you."

Wang Qing sneered and asked back, "Two people in exchange for such an insignificant thing? Don't you think you are worth much more than that?"

"Then forget it."

The governor's residence was not very far, so they arrived at the destination soon.

But they were stopped before they could walk to the gate.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The guards at the residence pulled out their guns and pointed at Wang Qing and Murong Xue.

Seeing the black guns, Murong Xue moved aside to avoid them. She was afraid that the guns would go off as she had no spiritual power now. "Friend, don't point your gun at me. We come here to see the governor."

Hearing what Murong Xue said, the guards changed their faces as only people on the inside knew it was a gun. The guards looked at each other, puzzled. One of them, who seemed to be the group leader, walked to her and asked, "Who are you? And why do you want to see the governor?"

Murong Xue took out a piece of paper, a letter she wrote in the inn before. "Take it to the governor, and he'll want to see me."

Wang Qing was laughing hard silently. He knew what this letter was about because he watched Mu Tian write it. The letter only had a few words: mobile phone, computer, and gun.

He thought she wrote it for fun, but now Murong Xue gave it to the governor. Wang Qing raised a thin smile and waited to see Mu Tian make a fool of himself.

Taking over the letter from Mu Tian, the guard checked it and went inside.

Numerous people came to see the governor these days, so the guards' patience was already exhausted. If Mu Tian had not known that it was a gun, they would have driven the two away.

Before long, the guard who went inside with the letter hurried out.

The guard asked, "Please tell me who wrote this letter?"

Murong Xue raised her hand. "It's me."

"Please come with me, young lady. The governor wants to see you." The guard seemed to be more respectful.
