Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 378: Making My Mom Jealous

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine." Xia Mian smiled slightly at Lu Zechuan, her smile confident and unexpectedly reassuring.

Lu Zechuan fell silent. Having known Xia Mian for so long, he had never been apart from her.

Now, Xia Mian was leaving him behind to go to the Three Thousand Worlds to find her parents, and it felt like a piece of his heart was missing.

Lu Zechuan remained silent.

Like a child sulking because their wish hadn’t been fulfilled.

Xia Mian couldn’t help but sigh softly, "It’s not that I don’t want to take you. I’m just afraid that in case..."

If anything happened, she wouldn’t know how to explain it to Mrs. Lu and the surviving clan members of the Wood Clan.

"I’m not afraid." Lu Zechuan said firmly.

Xia Mian glanced at Lu Zechuan, a man who was clearly decisive but now seemed a bit childish, she didn’t know what to do.

"Don’t make Mianmian uneasy." Xia Liang spoke up after a moment of silence, "Mianmian is the master of the River of Time. She won’t have any trouble entering it, but it’s different for us. If we insist on entering, we might cause unnecessary trouble for Mianmian."

Hearing Xia Liang’s words, Lu Zechuan fell silent again.

He was uneasy letting Xia Mian enter the River of Time alone.

Entering the River of Time with Xia Mian, he would become a burden to her.

After weighing the options repeatedly, Lu Zechuan finally made a difficult decision, "I’ll wait for you for three days. If you don’t come back by then, I’ll go in to find you."

No matter the result, he wanted to be with Xia Mian.

Xia Mian pondered for a moment, then nodded gently, "Alright."

With that one word, Xia Mian turned and stepped into the River of Time.

Lu Zechuan and Xia Liang stood by the River of Time, the Octopus Monster eagerly inviting them to wander around.

"The master is the ruler of the River of Time; entering it is like going home, there won’t be any issues." The Octopus Monster waved its tentacles, "I’ll show you around; when you’re tired of wandering, the master will be back."

The Octopus Monster had a host-like demeanor.

With Xia Mian’s help, the Octopus Monster successfully unified the Seven Great Seas, becoming the new ruler of the Seven Great Seas. Indeed, joy follows happy events!

Lu Zechuan, however, had no intention to wander around, waving off the Octopus Monster, "No need, I’ll just wait here for her."

The Octopus Monster didn’t continue to persuade; instead, it turned to go play with Little Jellyfish Huahua.

With the master’s power as backing, not only did it unify the Seven Great Domains, but it also successfully brought home Little Jellyfish.

This time, it was truly victorious.

The world Xia Mian entered was one of a romantic school setting. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Xia Zhun and Song Juan were a privileged all-rounder and a self-reliant slum Cinderella, respectively.

Two people who shouldn’t have intersected met by chance due to an accident.

The self-reliant girl from the slums, thanks to her own efforts, got into the city’s best high school.

Here, the two experienced the clashes of youth.

Xia Mian, carrying a backpack, stood at the gate of Chongde High School, looking at the school’s grand sign and the students coming and going, couldn’t help but sigh, youth is great!

At eighteen, Xia Mian didn’t look different from these young students. After entering this world, she used her identity as the time river master to arrange a transfer student identity for herself.

Song Juan and Xia Zhun had been in this world for too long, too deep into their roles. She couldn’t simply pull them out like she did with Xia Weizhang and others.

She needed to be subtle, allowing Xia Zhun and Song Juan to realize for themselves that they didn’t belong to this world.

This was somewhat challenging.

But, the problem shouldn’t be too big.

With the convenience of her identity, Xia Mian smoothly transferred to Xia Zhun and Song Juan’s class.

At this time, Xia Zhun and Song Juan’s relationship was in a rising phase, brimming with affection for each other.

As soon as Xia Mian arrived, she demanded to sit next to Xia Zhun with the demeanor of a villainous female side character.

Xia Mian arranged a very tough background for herself, a request the principal dared not deny.

Thus, on her first day entering this world, Xia Mian became Xia Zhun’s desk mate.

Seeing Xia Mian sit next to Xia Zhun, Song Juan clearly felt a sense of crisis.

As a slum girl standing before a rich young lady, Song Juan felt she was unnecessary in front of Xia Zhun.

And reality proved Song Juan’s suspicions right.

On the first day of sitting next to Xia Zhun, Xia Mian started actively pursuing Xia Zhun.

Finding every opportunity to get close to Xia Zhun, seeking every chance to talk to him.

Despite Xia Zhun usually being aloof, he was surprisingly patient with this new transfer student!

Song Juan felt hurt. Clearly, Xia Zhun was extraordinary with her before, but now, he quickly shifted his focus!

Such a heartless guy, a fickle playboy!

Song Juan was restless all day, burdened with worries. After school, she no longer waited for Xia Zhun and stormed off with her backpack.

After Song Juan stormed out of the school gate, Xia Mian continued to cling to Xia Zhun.

"You’re really my dad; look, we look so alike!" Xia Mian clung to Xia Zhun’s sleeve, not letting go, as if they were flirting.

Xia Zhun’s face turned serious, "Let go of me!"

Even though they seemed to be of similar age, this transfer student was calling him dad?

Was this how girls pursued guys these days?

Xia Mian continued to clutch Xia Zhun’s clothes, "No way! You and my mom have to come with me!"

Xia Mian wanted to be subtle too!

But, that guy Lu Zechuan only gave her three days. If she couldn’t leave in three days, and Lu Zechuan came in, it would be trouble!

"Who’s your mom?" Xia Zhun glared at Xia Mian, finding her more absurd by the minute.

Xia Mian showed no hesitation, "The one you have a crush on is my mom!"

Xia Zhun’s face turned red instantly.

He thought his crush on Song Juan was very low-key, but now, was it so obvious that even a random transfer student could see?

Was he that obvious in his crush?

Xia Zhun began to deeply doubt himself.

But, Xia Mian had already pulled Xia Zhun out of the classroom by the arm.

Xia Zhun was the school’s heartthrob, with many students harboring a crush on him. Seeing him being pulled out of the classroom by someone they had never seen before, many widened their eyes in jealousy.

Xia Mian didn’t care about others’ gazes, pulling Xia Zhun towards the school gate while mumbling, "You don’t believe me, do you? I’m telling you, if you don’t hurry up, my mom will be in trouble!"

Based on her experience doing tasks in the Three Thousand Worlds, when a villainous female side character like her gets involved, the main couple’s relationship would definitely heat up on the female lead’s side.
