Compared to the desolate mountains where Lingxian Palace is located, the scenery of the Holy Mountain is much better, offering a sense of embracing the beauty of nature.
A crimson robe trailed on the ground, and brown boots trod on moss-covered stone steps. In the early morning, the air was incredibly refreshing.
This is the maid who takes care of Li Shiyao. She has Qi cultivation and is two years older than Li Shiyao.
Following Li Shiyao's instructions, the maid brought water and helped Li Shiyao wash up.
For cultivators, this is obviously superfluous, but for Li Shiyao, it is part of the morning ritual.
In addition to that, she also had to eat breakfast. Apart from the unchanging goat milk, the rest of the breakfast depended on what Yu Lan and Su Cheng were making, and she ate whatever they made.
After drinking goat milk, she would have a couple of small sips to rinse her mouth, and once she was slightly tipsy and in the zone, she would begin her morning exercise.
She had secretly learned this sword technique from watching her master practice in the morning. It wasn't the Frost Sword Art, but some unknown sword technique. It looked ordinary, but she felt that her master practiced this every day, so it must be very powerful!
"Your Highness, you are to meet with that lord today. This is a dress sent by the Second Elder. Let me help you change."
Li Shiyao lightly twirled the thin gauze dress with her jade-like fingers, only to sneer.
Her delicate fingers gently lifted the gauze skirt, and sunlight filtered through it, illuminating her snow-white arms with a touch of hazy beauty.
As if trying to find something out of it, he picked it up with both hands, tensed it, and stared at the sun, which had only just risen, for a long time.
The sunlight could penetrate the gauze skirt, making it exceptionally dazzling.
What did you call me?
"Your Highness..."
Where is this place?
"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, this is the Holy Mountain, and this is Her Highness's sleeping quarters."
"Hehe, Second Elder... send this dress to your daughter, and tell her that Shiyao thinks it would look beautiful on her."
The maid was stunned, even though Li Shiyao never played by the rules.
"Your Highness, this...this is probably inappropriate...This is what the Second Elder requested..."
But the maid didn't know that the saintess before her was no longer the same Daiyao she once was.
The Desire-Severing Bracelet severs the desires of others, and the Bewitching Bell will not bewitch Shi Yao.
"Go and summon all the elders, tell them that Shiyao has quit!"
Although the maid was terrified, she did as Li Shiyao said.
Watching the foolish maid's departing figure, Li Shiyao felt a pang of sympathy for her senior sister for the first time...
Li Shiyao sat on the stone table, swinging her little feet as she ate snacks and muttered to herself, "Master, do you like Daiyao or the Holy Maiden?"
Before long, Shi Mingyi arrived first, rushing over in a flurry of activity!
"Shiyao, what's wrong? What happened?"
Li Shiyao didn't say anything, she just wiggled her little feet and waited, which made Shi Mingyi very anxious!
Before long, most of the elders had arrived, but Li Shiyao still hadn't said a word, and the elders were getting increasingly anxious!
You should know that the lord is already on his way. The Holy Maiden requested a meeting with him and said she had a solution!
I was relieved to think that Shiyao was confident.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, my aunt started throwing a tantrum again!
"Elder Shi, what's going on?"
"How should I know? What did you do to offend her?"
"No, she was perfectly fine last night! She was fine this morning too, so why is she suddenly throwing a tantrum?"
"What's that on the table? Is it a dress? Is it because the dress doesn't suit Shiyao's taste?"
"Then let's change to a different set, what's the big deal?"
A group of elders chattered amongst themselves, but it was all just wild guessing!
Once everyone was present, Li Shiyao immediately unleashed her trump card!
"You all love Shiyao so much, yet you conspired to deceive her! You can be the Holy Maiden, but Shiyao refuses!"
"Shiyao will ask her senior sister to come and pick her up in a little while!"
"You don't love Shiyao at all, you're all liars, Shiyao will never be friends with you again!"
"Elder Shi, you! Give the grasshopper that Shi Yao gave you back to Shi Yao! She worked hard all afternoon to catch it!"
"And you, what are you grinning about! Elder, give Shiyao back the pillow she gave you, the one embroidered with a white rabbit!"
"And the chickens in the yard, Shiyao's carriage, and the duck that Shiyao ate halfway through—Shiyao wants to take them all with her!"
"Shiyao will never come back!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders paled!
"Oh dear, my darling Shiyao, this is unacceptable! Who has displeased our Holy Maiden?"
"That's right, Shiyao, the elders treat you better than their own daughters, why would they lie to you?"
"Yes, yes, I can't live without the pillow that Shiyao gave me. How can I sleep without it?"
"That's right, Shiyao, if you have any grievances, just say them. The Fourth Elder will stand up for you!"
"Yes, just tell us, and we'll help you decide!"
Li Shiyao was a pampered young lady, and she hadn't cared about such things before, nor had she ever thought about them!
But things are different now. Li Shiyao is no longer the naive girl she used to be!
Li Shiyao knew, but she didn't want her master to know. What if her master liked that silly girl?
Let's see Li Shiyao snort coldly!
"snort!"
Then he let out a cold snort...
"Hey? Shiyao, you know I love you the most. Did the maid talk back to you? Or did someone bully you?"
"Someone come here! Bring me that little green girl and ask the Holy Maiden what's going on!"
