This courtyard is not big, there are no lush gardens and no endless houses. After entering the courtyard and going up along the bluestone path, there is only a small attic standing here.
It is a very simple wooden attic, without any luxury, but with a peaceful atmosphere.
"Why would we come to this ancient-looking courtyard to search for the goblins' weaknesses?"
Hai'an frowned. Although his body was extremely uncomfortable, he still maintained basic sanity.
He was deeply puzzled.
Could it be that the intelligence we collected previously was wrong?
The one who wants to destroy the earth is not a monster from outer space, but a demon left over from ancient times?
He glanced at both sides of the attic. There were only bright flower beds dotting the attic, which did not look withered or decayed, as if someone regularly took care of it. However, when he took a few steps forward, no traps appeared, so he bravely continued to go deeper.
The closer he got to the attic, the more he could feel the calming aura emanating from it. This healing and peaceful aura, when it touched Hai'an, immediately began to repair the damage in his eyes caused by the overload of information.
Even the physical discomfort was quickly easing.
“This…this…”
Feeling that his injuries were healing, Hai'an hesitated to move forward. He even suspected that he was observing the wrong object.
In the feedback from the power of observation, there was no evil, negative aura in this attic, only a warm, majestic and bright aura.
This obviously does not fit the identity of an evil goblin.
"Who is coming?"
Just as he was hesitating, a gentle and sweet voice came from the attic. This voice was like a gentle breeze on his face, and the pressure in his heart disappeared instantly.
'It could be an ancient person! And a woman!'
Hai'an was startled and subconsciously reached for his hand, only to find that he didn't bring any iced cola with him today.
Without the happy water that gave him courage, his mental stress instantly increased dozens of times. In addition, this was an area he could not set foot in. His breathing immediately became rapid, sweat poured down, his lips turned purple, and he wished he could leave here immediately.
He couldn't stand being alone with a woman in a place. It was like the death of him.
When I thought about it, my consciousness started to become blurry, and the various auditory hallucinations echoing in my ears became more intense.
"Are you okay?"
Just when the fat guy was about to faint, the attic door curtain was pushed open from the inside, and a graceful woman in a red dress walked out slowly.
"Mid-spring dew."
She glanced at the fat man who seemed to be surrounded by invisible pressure, her brows slightly frowned, but she still swept her hand, and drops of nectar fell from her fingertips and landed on Hai'an's body.
These sweet rains carried extremely vigorous vitality and fell on Hai'an, who was about to faint. They immediately drove away his mental stress and put his mind into a state of peace and tranquility.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Hai'an came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude. After looking up at the woman's appearance, he lowered his head in fear.
Oh my god! This is so beautiful!
He had never seen such a beautiful woman. It seemed as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated in her, giving people a feeling of hope and warmth.
"Are you okay?"
The woman in the red dress glanced at the fat man with the strange posture, shook her head and chuckled. Then she flicked her sleeves and walked back into the attic. "Come in. You are the first outsider to come here in over a thousand years."
Hai'an looked at the other person's disappearing back nervously, stood there hesitating for a long time, and then chose to climb the stairs and enter the attic.
It didn't look like a woman's boudoir, but rather a very spacious study.
"You are a guest from afar, but I don't have anything here. I can only serve you ordinary tea. I hope you don't mind too much."
The woman in the red dress was writing at the desk, next to her was an inkstone with ground ink. Further away were several large bookcases filled with piles of calligraphy and paintings and books, a dazzling array of which were endless.
Near the coast, a pot of freshly boiled tea was placed on the table, emitting boiling hot steam, and the porcelain cup next to it was already filled with tea.
"I came here uninvited, so I'm not really a guest..."
Instead of picking up the teacup to drink, Hai'an walked around the table to see what the other person was doing.
"My companion Fei Qiong, once in a while, left the Pearl Palace, and has not yet returned to the immortal world..."
"...it is better to be so affectionate, occupying the world with so many beauties and charms."
Judging from the format of the first stanza, it should be a Song Dynasty poem.
Hai'an had never learned this poem, but this did not pose any difficulty for his observer's eyes. After just two glances, all the relevant contents immediately appeared in his pupils.
"Is this a poem by Liu Yong of the Northern Song Dynasty, 'The Jade Maiden Shakes the Fairy Pendant - Beautiful Woman'?"
Hai'an stood by and watched, asking in a low voice.
Logically speaking, he should be too nervous to speak when meeting a woman alone, but when he was with this woman in a red dress, he felt an indescribable sense of calmness.
"Do you know this poem?" The woman in the red dress didn't even raise her head. As her body swayed, a few strands of black hair fell on her shoulders. "I have nothing to do, so I'm copying some poems, calligraphy and paintings to kill time."
As he got closer, he could smell a faint fragrance on his face, which made Hai'an take two steps back and keep a safe distance.
"Do you know Liu Yong?"
Although he thought the question was a bit ridiculous, Hai'an still asked it.
He came here in pursuit of the breath of the evil goblin, but in this real world that has been magnified countless times, there is a tomb that looks like a painting. Inside the tomb is a small courtyard, and in the courtyard lives a beautiful woman in a red dress.
