Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Night opened its abyssal mouth and swallowed the entire capital into its dark stomach.
The lights in the Holy Maiden Temple gradually lit up.
A woman in the white clothes of the Holy Maiden Temple with red cloud patterns covering her knees under her belt walked over from the night.
“Emissary Lin.”
“Someone barged into the Holy Maiden Temple just now?”
“He’s already been injured and escaped.”
“The Holy Selection is imminent. If anything goes wrong, you won’t be able to bear the blame of the Saintess.”
After instructing coldly, the woman turned around and walked towards a quiet attic.
Tonight was the day to change that person’s dressing.
She came to the heavily guarded attic.
There were many experts here, and no one could easily barge in.
No, to be precise, they could not barge in at all.
That’s right, no one could enter.
But who would guard against a bird?
A parrot that had disguised itself as a crow flew into the attic.
Emissary Lin carried an oil lamp and walked on the dark corridor.
Halfway there, she frowned and turned around.
Wuhu, the little crow immediately stuck to the wall and fused with the night.
Emissary Lin did not notice anyone and retracted his gaze to continue forward. Wuhu could not hold on anymore and slid down the wall, leaving two long
black lines.
The woman came to the end and pressed the mechanism on the wall. A stone door rumbled to the side, revealing a s.p.a.cious and cold secret room.
In the center of the secret room was a stone bed made of jade. It looked transparent and beautiful.
There was a person lying on the stone bed.
Emissary Lin came in front of this person and placed the oil lamp on the ground. She took out a medicine bottle and poured out a red pill. She opened the other party’s mouth and placed the pill in his mouth.
Sometimes he swallowed unconsciously himself, and sometimes he needed a little a.s.sistance.
Just as Emissary Lin was considering whether to slap him to help him swallow it, the wind chime in the secret room was pulled. Someone was looking for her outside.
She looked at the unconscious person, bent down, picked up the oil lamp, and walked out.
The stone door closed with a rumble.
Night pearls were placed around the stone bed, so it was not too dark.
A little crow that had lost its color flapped its wings and flew to the stone bed.
Boohoo!
Ice and ice!
It hurriedly hopped up and jumped onto this person.
It looked at the unconscious person as if it was in deep conflict . It raised its small head, took a deep breath, made up its mind, and pecked out the pill.
It was the bird’s first kiss!
Emissary Lin saw Uncle Han near the attic.
She asked, “Didn’t we just meet? Why are you here at the Holy Maiden Temple so late?”
If Mei Ji was here, she would definitely recognize her as the woman who had gone to the dye shop to talk to Uncle Han.
Uncle Han cupped his hands and said politely, “I have something to ask of the Saintess.”
Elder Lin said, “The Saintess has rested. Tell me what you want.”
She was not lying about this. For some reason, the Saintess had indeed rested early recently.
“Ah, yes.” Uncle Han told her the news he had learned from Cheng Qingxue. “..
The origins of those two girls are unknown. I hope to let the Saintess know.”
Emissary Lin said calmly, ‘Got it. I’ll tell the Saintess.” Uncle Han smiled. “Then I’ll take my leave.”
After he left, Emissary Lin returned to the secret room.
She opened that person’s mouth and took a look. “Have you swallowed it?”
She didn’t suspect anything and carried the oil lamp out of the secret room.
Wuhu brought the pill back to the Cheng family.
Su Xiaoxiao had just made a bowl of pigeon noodles for Mei Ji.
Mei Ji ate.
Su Xiaoxiao also ate a little.
Mei Ji was a natural foodie. She had been eating a lot recently, and the two of them were coincidentally alike in that aspect.
Wuhu flew in and landed on their table.
After Mei Ji finished slurping the noodles into her mouth, she said in surprise, “Wuhu? Where did you go? I couldn’t find you. I was so worried.” With that, she burped.
Wuhu muttered, ” Is this how you show concern about me?”
Wuhu placed the pill on the table.
Wuhu never brought back random things from outside unless they were useful.
Su Xiaoxiao took a clean white handkerchief, placed the pill on it, and crushed it with a clean spoon.
“Wuhu, did you go to the Holy Maiden Temple?” Wuhu nodded.
This pill must belong to the Holy Maiden Temple.
“What pill is it?” Mei Ji came over with a soup bowl and asked.
Su Xiaoxiao carefully identified the composition of the herbs. “San Qi, saffron, Chuan Qiong, Dan Ginseng… These are medicine for internal injuries, but…
there are some ingredients I’ve never seen before. They’re herbs I’m unfamiliar with..
