"Heheheeee" Zhang Guili held his stomach; it was a while before the boy regained his composed.

"Having fun?" Rong Fangsu's walked over to the laughing boy; with a gentle touch she slowly wiped the corner of his mouth, removing any of the pastry crumbs.

"Sister, how did you do it?" He turned his big uplifted eyes at the smiling girl in front of him.

"Nothing much" her voice playful, as she started to grin, her delicate white teeth between her slight parted lip can be seen. "More importantly let go somewhere fun" taking his hand, she gently dragged the little boy out of her courtyard.

The Capital City Hai Da's street sure had a prosperous look.

The young girl along with her little brother hand in hand walked along the buzzing streets, her pace slow and even as the pair of sibling enjoyed the scenery. Followed closely was a faithful maidservants who happily smile at the scene of their mistress and her brother quality time.

Visiting the street a second time, even with the previous body owner's memory, this world was still entirely foreign to her. Apparently, due to the fact Zhang Wen Jing had beauty complex in regarding her incurable red rash, she didn't come to public often. Nonetheless she did made some visit in the past so she is street-smart enough.

Glancing at his sister, the little boy in dark blue robe turned his big eyes to the delicate young girl holding his hand. Today, Sister sure is different. Normally his Sister would often shut herself in the Manor, due to concern to the scar on her forehead. She wholeheartedly embarrassed and mostly ashamed by its existence causing the girl to unconscious lower her head to the ground, instead of looking at someone in the eyes. Her form is considered pitiful added with extremely lacked of self-confident, ruined at possible sign of her beauty. But the current her…

Closed up, in light pale tea clothing walking with the sun facing her. A streak of light shone down and fell on that delicate face, enchanting her beauty to another level– almost otherworldly.

Zhang Guili's big eyes closely observed, the current sister what make her so…so different? Tilting his small head as he pondered. Loveable, but today she even more lovable, why is that? Right, it must be that! Confident, the normally timid Sister hold her head up high in the air, as if she looking down on the world.

"What wrong?" a clear voice snapped him back to his sense.

"Nothing" he hurried reply as he shook his small head a few time before turning his head sideway to hide his embarrassment. Rong Fangsu giggled happily to his reaction. The boy sure is adorable. Rong Fangsu was an orphan, thus she never experienced kinship of sibling, but this feeling isn't too bad. Rong Fangsu thought that to herself.

"Ehm.…So Sister have you heard of Haunted Manor?" The boy threw question at the smiling girl.

"Haunted Manor?"

Rong Fangsu flashed the memories of previous owner yet there was nothing. Nothing at all regarding the so-called Haunted Manor or is this Zhang Wen Jing simply too clueless about the outside world?

Zhang Guili nodded his head before continued "Haunted Manor from fallen Fu family, the one on the Yellow Two Street. I heard their descendants is no more and Manor both outworn and musty since the last of Fu gone extinct with no one to take care of. Thus the Manor is closed, shutdown and only ruin left."

"I see" Rong Fangsu was expressionless, her face portrayed any emotion be its puzzlement and curiosity.

Seeing her indifferent, Guili quickly added: "I heard there a rumor regard this Manor, saying that this Fu Manor is actually a treasure lair with a countless valuable, in their golden age the Fu was said to one of the wealthiest Family in Capital City, Hai Da. So after the Fu's line gone extinct, the hidden numerous treasures laid untouched like mold to a flame, attracting various purser blind by greed. But that not the end. Countless elites and thieves broke into the Manor only to be trapped and lost, walked around in circle like that of a maze, before exhausted stomped back on the entrance."
