Frost Rock State.
Amidst the towering and dangerous mountains, stands an ancient rock palace.
The palace gate is almost comparable to the immortal sect's mountain gate in Zhongfuzhou. Outside the gate, the sunlight is cold and gloomy, and inside the gate, it is deep and dark.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no trace of civilization, only some scattered monsters and demons.
A gust of wind blew by.
The monsters seemed to sense some danger and fled away from the palace.
But there was nothing except the wind.
The wind blew to the palace gate and disappeared.
Shizuku, carrying a basket of fruits that emitted a faint glow and an alluring aroma, entered the palace through the palace gate, gradually revealing herself.
The dragon eyes on the dragon-carved stone pillar on the side flickered with a faint light, but then went out as Shizuku walked in.
After passing thirteen stone pillars, Shizuku turned right in the main hall of the palace and entered a stone gate. After floating down layers of spiral stone steps, he came to a room made of black jade bricks.
There is a blank stone plaque hanging at the door.
But in Shizuku's eyes, on the stone tablet, there were the words "Tongyou" flickering with a faint light.
This is the operating core of the Ghost Palace.
At any given time, there are at least two maids on duty here.
"I, the wandering maid Shizuku, have been ordered to monitor the Cangxia Sect in Chaoyun Prefecture. My mission... has changed, so I am returning to report." Shizuku walked up to a maid and reported with her head down.
Ordinary prostitutes in the Ghost Palace would usually walk around in fear even when seeing the maids under the maids. Now, facing a maid of a higher level, although it was not the first time for Shizukuka, she was still a little nervous.
"What happened?"
The maid opened her eyes, and looked at Shizuku with a faint glow in them.
In an instant, her eyes were attracted by the fruit basket in her hand.
The fruit in that fruit basket is definitely not ordinary!!
Her soul is longing for this fruit!!
But the maid also suppressed the urge to snatch the fruit.
Since this prostitute was able to carry the fruit back to the Ghost Palace and come to her, the information she brought must be very important.
"Cangxia Sect's leader, Lu Qing, has discovered me..."
As soon as the words came out, the maid opposite her revealed her dominance and became wary of Shizukuka.
Shizuku was startled, but forced herself to calm down and finished her words: "However, Sect Master Lu didn't do anything to me. Instead... he wanted to discuss something with the mistress. This basket is Sect Master Lu's gift. Inside the basket, there are also letters from him to the mistress."
“…”
At some point, another maid also floated out from behind Shizukuka.
The two maids whispered a few words to each other, and then one of them went to inform the mistress, while the other stayed here and stared at Shizuku.
Shizuku soon discovered that a third maid had appeared in the room at some point.
She could clearly feel the maid's scrutiny of herself.
Such scrutiny made her very uneasy.
"May I have your name?"
Suddenly, the fourth maid appeared beside Shizukuka and asked her softly.
Shizuku could feel that this maid did not put too much pressure on her. On the contrary, she spoke very gently.
This shouldn't exist in the Ghost Hall.
At least in Shizukuka's understanding, maids, or even servants, would never speak to her so kindly.
"Shizuku."
Shizuku answered honestly.
She remembered that the maid was called Maid Mu.
"Sir, what are you planning? Are you thinking about the fruit basket in your hand?"
No way! ?
This is the gift that Sect Master Lu brought to the mistress. Even if the maid Mu is very brave, she would not dare to snatch the food from the mistress's mouth, right?
Or maybe, Sect Master Lu had done something to me, and she found out, so she wanted to annihilate me?
Shizukuka's nervousness intensified even more.
But Master Lu is so kind, it’s unlikely that he would harm me, right?
While Shizuku was lost in thought, the maid Mu said, "Don't be nervous. You act like this when you see me, so how will you act when you see the mistress?"
"yes."
Shizuku perked up and calmed the faint light outside her body a little.
It seems that the maid Mu was deliberately reminding herself to pay attention to her manners.
Not long after, the maid who had gone out earlier came back and communicated with the other maids. She and Maid Mu accompanied them to another place in the Ghost Palace.
Shizuku followed the two maids, crossed the gate that she usually didn't even dare to look at, walked through the palace corridors that she had never set foot on, and came to the Ghost Palace Garden that was only passed down by word of mouth among the prostitutes.
Then, we went down from the tower at the back of the garden and arrived at a spacious study, or library.
The entire building is made of black jade, and the bookshelves are filled with books.
Paper, leather, even jade and bamboo slips, everything is included. Some books are even sealed with various restrictions.
A woman emitting a faint glow sat in front of a desk piled with books.
It’s the mistress!
Although Shizuku had never seen the mistress, her intuition told her that the person in front of her was the owner of the Ghost Palace, their mistress!
Shizuku was surprised to find that although the mistress had the same faint light as theirs, her body was almost the same as that of a human!
Blood, flesh, bones and skin, everything is complete!
The mistress’s age was hard to tell, but she had a cool and beautiful face, smooth as silk, without any signs of aging. However, she had a sense of calmness that only an elderly person could have.
Did she master the method of transforming into a physical body, or was she taking over another body, or did she have other magical powers?
"Tell me about it in detail."
The mistress raised her head and looked at Shizuku.
Shizuku handed over the fruit basket and told the mistress everything about his visit to Cangxia Sect without any omissions or concealments.
Maid Mu handed the fruit basket to the mistress.
The mistress's eyes rested on the fruit basket as she listened to Shizukuka finish her story.
“To think it would be like this.”
The mistress uttered four words, slowly reached out, picked up the letter from the fruit basket, stroked the paper, and did not open it.
a long time.
The mistress said again: "Bean, try this fruit."
The maid Dou stepped forward, took a piece of glowing fruit from the mistress, and put it into her mouth like jelly.
"how?"
"I feel... very, nourishing?" Maid Dou thought for a moment and used one word to describe her feeling.
The mistress reached out and held the hand of the maid Dou.
After a faint light flickered for a moment, the mistress continued, "Dou, make this basket of fruit into fruit porridge and share it."
"yes!"
The maid Dou obeyed the order and went downstairs carrying the fruit basket.
The mistress took out the bag of tea and a cherry-like fruit from the fruit basket and placed them on the table.
“I never thought that the Jianmu robbery tree could produce such fruit.”
"This Sect Master Lu is interesting."
The mistress dismissed the two girls, opened Lu Qing's letter and began to read it carefully.
