Chapter 2022: Chapter 2024: Do You Want to Return to the Modern Era?

"That shows the Fourth Prince is a gentleman. Alright, stop talking about this and that. Can you get to the point?"

After talking for so long, Xiaoxiao still hadn’t said how she ended up in the Capital City or why she pulled that stunt on the street.

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao say the Fourth Prince is a gentleman, Xiaoyao wanted to argue a little, but knew now wasn’t the time for such discussions.

So she didn’t say anything further and continued, "Although I didn’t quite capture him, I did achieve a little. By acting all cute and rolling around, I finally got a chance to follow him to the Capital City."

"But I can’t let this face be too conspicuous, so I had to dress as a man."

"This is my first time going out. If I don’t run away now, when will I? And luckily, there were a lot of people on the street."

"Then I ran and bumped into your husband. Seeing the guards catching up, I just played the pitiful card!"

Although Xiaoyao said these words as if telling a joke, Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sadness.

She felt she was much luckier than Xiaoyao. Even though the place she traveled to had a poor standard of living, it was free. As long as she worked hard, she could have a good life.

But Xiaoyao had always been controlled by others. Her saying it was her first time going out truly tugged at Xiaoxiao’s heart.

Fortunately, Xiaoyao has a sunny and positive disposition, or she might have been worn down by such a life long ago.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, making her speak excitedly, "Xiaoyao, do you want to go back to the modern world?"

When asked about it, Xiaoyao replied without a second thought, "Of course I want to, but I can’t go back."

Even though there’s no worry about food and clothes here, she was too unfree. She didn’t like this backward place; she still preferred the bustling modern cities!

Now she was like a bird in a cage. She wasn’t the kind of person willing to be controlled by others.

At this moment, Xiaoxiao grabbed Xiaoyao’s hand, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Xiaoyao, listen to me. Actually, we didn’t exactly time travel. Our souls were exchanged. The soul of the body you’re in now should be in the modern world, so you have a chance to return."

These words surprised Xiaoyao greatly, "How do you know?"

She wasn’t actually surprised by the soul exchange thing. After all, she had already guessed the changes in the modern Xiaoxiao. She was just surprised Xiaoxiao knew the way back.

"Listen to me. Actually, I had a chance to swap my soul back once, but at that time I had my husband and couldn’t bear to leave, so I stayed. You should also have a chance to go back. You just need to go to my house and find the Bracelet that connects the two souls, and you might be able to return."

These words excited Xiaoyao a lot. She didn’t want to stay in this broken place, so she immediately grabbed Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, let’s go now. Time waits for no one. The Fourth Prince’s guards will definitely come to capture me. By then, I might not be able to leave even if I want to. Now is my only chance, and you must help me."

"Yes, we’ll leave right now." Xiaoxiao also understood the urgency. For her friend’s happiness, for her friend not to suffer here, they must take off immediately, even though they had just reunited, and she was very reluctant to see her leave.

So the two of them went out to find Yang Ming to discuss returning to Shanshi County.

Little did they know, above the roof, the Fourth Prince’s Hidden Guard had heard all their words.

Even though the two of them had lowered their voices, it couldn’t escape the ears of the Hidden Guard.

With a gust of wind, the Hidden Guard vanished from the rooftop.
