“Mother, we’re back.”
Su Ying was taking a nap under the sun when she heard two cheerful voices approaching from afar.
She opened her eyes and saw the two little fellows trotting toward her happily.
Of course, Ling was the one who was trotting happily. Ji still conducted himself in a proper manner.
However, Ji’s proper demeanor gradually relaxed when he came up to Su Ying.
Su Ying sat up from the rocking chair and looked at the faces of the two little fellows that had turned all flushed due to the chilly wind blowing on them. She couldn’t resist reaching out to warm them up. “Are you two cold? Let’s go back to the hall first.”
Children with sufficient Yang energy would not feel cold, but they liked the meticulous care that their mother gave them.
“Mother, I have a gift for you,” Ji said.
Su Ying’s eyebrows arched up as she looked at him with anticipation. “What gift are you giving me, Ji?”
Ji took out an exquisite pouch and opened it. He poured out a red string from it. There was a lotus flower that was probably carved out of stone on the red string.
“This. This is for you, Mother. They said that if you wear this, you will remain safe and sound, Mother.”
The item looked very delicate, and Su Ying liked it, mainly because it was a gift from her child. Thus, she told Ji to put it on for her.
“It looks nice.”
“Big Brother, I want one too. They all have one, but I don’t,” Ling whined.
Ji felt sorry for his younger sister, so he took out a red string similar to Su Ying’s and put it on Ling’s hand.
“Alright, I’ll give you mine.”
Ling looked at the red string on her hand with a big grin and felt wonderful all over.
“Where did you get this, Ji?”
“Nie Jun gave it to me. He said that this is a sacred item from the immortal. If we wear it on our bodies, it will protect us and keep us safe.”
Nie Jun was the study companion that Xiao Jin had chosen for Ji. He was the youngest son from General Zhenbei’s Residence. Su Ying had seen that child before. He appeared quite stocky and honest-looking, and he seemed a little simple-minded.
“There are many people in our class who have this. They say that this Great Immortal White Lotus is very powerful. A dead rabbit can come back to life as soon as he touches it.”
Su Ying found it laughable. There was no such thing as immortals in this world. Resurrecting the dead was just a trick and gimmick. However, the children were still young, and she didn’t want to ruin their childhood fantasies, so she allowed them to believe this.
Outside the palace, Lin Zhuyu felt that it was boring to stay in the residence, so she brought the maidservants and the old woman out with the intention to go shopping on the streets.
When she became tired after the shopping in the morning, she found a restaurant to take a rest. When she was almost done resting, Lin Zhuyu came out of the restaurant and prepared to return to the residence.
“Great Immortal White Lotus, you have boundless magical power to subdue monsters and demons.”
“Great Immortal White Lotus, you have boundless magical power to subdue monsters and demons.”
Lin Zhuyu had just come out of the restaurant when she saw a group of people walking in her direction on the street.
When she saw so many people, Lin Zhuyu couldn’t help looking at them curiously. The maidservants and old woman quickly protected her behind them to prevent her from being bumped into by the crowd.
However, a banana peel had been thrown onto the stairs outside the restaurant at some point. Lin Zhuyu was so engrossed in watching the crowd that she did not pay attention to what was at her feet. She stepped on the banana peel and slipped, stumbling and falling to the ground.
“Argh!”
Lin Zhuyu cried out in surprise. Her belly accidentally knocked against the stone steps. The maidservants who were shielding her up front turned around when they heard the noise. When the women saw that Lin Zhuyu had fallen to the ground, they were badly frightened and quickly went forward to help Lin Zhuyu up from the ground.
“Don’t… don’t move… don’t move me first!” Lin Zhuyu felt a wave of heat flowing out from under her body, and she cried out in shock. She had acquired a certain amount of medical knowledge from Su Ying, so she didn’t dare to allow the maidservants to touch her at this juncture to avoid causing a second injury.
The maidservants did not dare to touch her when they heard her shout. They could only sit on the ground and let her lean against them.
Lin Zhuyu was also extremely afraid. This was because she could already smell blood.
The old woman accompanying her was older. When she saw that Lin Zhuyu’s dress had been stained red, she immediately realized that something was wrong. “Mistress, don’t move unnecessarily first. Your servant will go and look for a doctor immediately.”
Lin Zhuyu fell outside the restaurant’s entrance. It so happened that the time was around lunchtime, and there were many people coming and going out of the door. Her fall attracted many people to come and gawk at her.
The maidservants quickly took out a veil and put it on Lin Zhuyu to prevent her reputation from being negatively affected if she was recognized.
“Great Immortal White Lotus, you have boundless magical power to subdue monsters and demons.”
At this moment, the crowd had already walked over. As there were many people crowding around Lin Zhuyu, the path of the advancing crowd was blocked. The entire convoy had no choice but to stop.
In the middle of that crowd, eight people were carrying a palanquin. A curtain was wrapped around the palanquin. The sunlight shone through the curtain, and one could vaguely see a figure sitting cross-legged inside.
At this moment, a person walked up to the palanquin and said something to the person behind the curtain. A moment later, an ethereal voice rang out from behind the curtain.
“Let me take a look.”
The light-colored curtain was lifted, and a person who seemed so fair under the golden light that she was almost transparent appeared in front of everyone. She wore a wreath made of giant alocasia flowers on her head, and her face was covered with a white veil. She was wearing a long snow-white dress, and her entire body exuded an immortal aura that made people dare not utter blasphemy.
When the people following her saw her walk out, they all knelt on the ground. “Welcome, Great Immortal White Lotus.”
Wherever Great Immortal White Lotus went, people unconsciously made way for her.
Lin Zhuyu was finding it difficult to breathe. She regretted it badly. If she had not come out to have fun, this would not have happened.
Just as she was filled with despair, a snow-white figure appeared in front of her. Lin Zhuyu’s eyes followed the snow-white shoes upwards and met the Great Immortal White Lotus’s two benevolent eyes.
“So the unborn star of the scholar has been frightened by the evil demon.” As the Great Immortal White Lotus spoke, her hand which was so soft that it seemed boneless was about to touch Lin Zhuyu’s belly.
The maidservants instinctively wanted to stop her, but for some reason, when they met the gaze of the Great Immortal White Lotus, they felt a strong sense of deterrence. That was not something that mortals could achieve.
Lin Zhuyu was also stunned. She watched helplessly as the Great Immortal White Lotus placed her hand on her belly.
Great Immortal White Lotus made low mumbling sounds as she chanted some unknown incantation. Then, something miraculous happened. Lin Zhuyu actually felt that her belly was no longer hurting!
Not long after that, Great Immortal White Lotus withdrew her hand and said softly, “The star of the scholar and you are not fated to meet. Don’t force the situation. Go back now.”
Before Lin Zhuyu could figure out what this figure meant, this figure had already turned around and left.
The maidservants came back to their senses right then. “Mistress, are you alright?”
Lin Zhuyu slowly shook her head. It really did not seem to hurt anymore. It was truly strange.
“Help me up first.”
The maidservants carefully helped Lin Zhuyu up.
The gawking commoners were all amazed when they saw this. Lin Zhuyu was clearly in so much pain that she couldn’t move at all.. How could she be fine after being touched by the Great Immortal White Lotus?
