1794 Burden

That wooden box was approximately the size of a palm, and it was entirely black. Only the edges had faint hints of silver.

The eight corners were especially embroidered with a special flower-vein pattern. At first glance, it was intricate and elegant.

Xiao Ba passed the wooden box over, and her eyes lit up. “Master, quickly open it! There’s really something good inside!”

Chu Liuyue opened the wooden box curiously. Xiao Ba is very talented as a heavenly doctor and especially likes to research strange formulas. If not, she wouldn’t have been able to help Qi Han produce the pill that changed his aura. For her to pass it over so carefully, it should be an extraordinary object.

Suddenly, Chu Liuyue’s gaze focused, and she saw that the flower pattern on the wooden box was changing incredulously.

The lines of the petals silently rose up as if they were blown by the wind. During this process, the more shocking thing was that the wooden box started melting bit by bit!

It seemed like ice that gradually melted under the scorching burn of the sun. After Xiao Ba took out the wooden box, it rapidly became smaller at an observable speed, but water didn’t seem to drip down from the surface.

It was as if… it mysteriously disappeared into thin air.

Chu Liuyue glanced at Xiao Ba suspiciously.

Xiao Ba hurriedly said, “Oh my god! I said that you couldn’t take it out casually! If the box is gone, the item inside will be spoiled!”

As she spoke, she urged Chu Liuyue to open it.

The wooden box wasn’t locked. Chu Liuyue’s finger moved, and she opened it.

A dragon-eye-sized red pill was lying quietly inside. This pill had a pure color and a faint herbal fragrance to it. However, the pill didn’t have any patterns that represented its quality, only the pattern of a small veined petal.

It was exactly the same as the one on the box.

Chu Liuyue was first dazed. Later on, she suddenly realized something and looked at Xiao Ba in shock. “This is—”

“Master, I produced this with much difficulty! It was so hard for me to bring it from so far away!” Seeing that Chu Liuyue recognized its significance at one glance, Xiao Ba blinked as she placed her soft hand on her master’s shoulder and leaned in closely. She then asked gently, “Master, how do you plan to reward me?”

Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched.

Xiao Ba was naturally sly, and her eyes were filled with flirtatiousness. No matter where she went, she was the most eye-catching existence.

All these years, quite a few men went crazy over her, but she never took another look at them. But every time she met Chu Liuyue, she would be gentle and flirty.

Chu Liuyue hadn’t seen Xiao Ba for a few years. Now that the latter suddenly did this, Chu Liuyue couldn’t handle it.

“Ahem.” Chu Liuyue coughed. “I’ll let you use the medicinal garden in Ling Xiao Academy for a month.”

“Really?” Xiao Ba’s eyes immediately lit up, and she was overjoyed. “I knew Master treated me the best!”

I have been thinking about that medicinal garden for ages! However, it’s a pity that Master thinks very highly of the medicinal garden and is reluctant to let me use it. Now, I have finally succeeded!

Seeing how Xiao Ba leaned against Chu Liuyue and whined to her, Yan Qing unwittingly knitted his brows. Why is this woman so…

Chu Liuyue directly took out that pill and prepared to take it.

Yan Qing advised, “Princess Consort, this pill—”

What if there’s a problem with it?

Chu Liuyue smiled and said, “Xiao Ba is my person. You don’t have to worry.”

Xiao Ba glared at Yan Qing. “I specifically produced this pill to help Master nourish her holy body! You don’t know anything, so why are you causing trouble?”

Yan Qing glanced at Xiao Ba nonchalantly and didn’t have much of an expression on his face, as if he didn’t care about what she said.

Since Princess Consort said she is trustable, then it should be fine. It isn’t appropriate for me to say anything further. However… Princess Consort’s subordinates are indeed special. Yan Qing silently scanned Yan Qing and the rest and quickly retracted his gaze.

Seeing that Yan Qing actually disregarded her, Xiao Ba instantly became furious. “You—”

Chu Liuyue pressed her hand. She knew that Yan Qing was always like this and didn’t target Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba could only suppress her anger and grunted. “What do you people know?! After using my pill, Master will be able to form her own holy body in less than a year!”

Once she said this, the few guards secretly exchanged glances and revealed their unspoken smiles. This woman talks really big, but it’s a pity that her brain doesn’t work properly.

In the God Residence Realm, there were many true gods, many strong warriors, and many pills that helped one to break through. However, they never heard that there was a pill in this world that could guarantee one to form their holy body within a year!

This woman is blowing her own horn…

Chu Liuyue’s gaze quickly swept past the few of them, and she easily guessed their current thoughts.

The corner of her lips curled up, and she smiled slightly as she turned her gaze.

At this point, the wooden box in her hands had completely disappeared.

“Since I’ve already verified the item and have used it, you can let the few of them in, right?”

The few guards hurriedly bowed. “Yes! Princess Consort, please! Everyone, go ahead!”

No matter what, they had to respect the princess consort.

Chu Liuyue nodded at Xiao Ba and the rest.

This time, the few of them walked in, and the barrier didn’t have any strange ripples again.

Chu Liuyue’s gaze swept across the few of them as she smiled and said, “Since you’re here, follow me to Changyi Mountain. I haven’t seen you in a long time, so let’s talk.”

Then, she turned around and went toward Changyi Mountain.

The others followed closely behind.

When their figures gradually went further, the few guards relaxed.

“Pfft, that so-called Xiao Ba just now is so arrogant, and she’s filled with nonsense. How can there be such a pill in this world? Why didn’t she do her homework in advance before she let her mouth run wild? When she said such things, it made one laugh for no reason!”

“I heard that they’re also from the Tianling Dynasty, like the princess consort. Perhaps they thought that we were as ignorant as their average commoners. Hah!”

“So they were born outside the God Residence Realm… No wonder. I really don’t know how the princess consort chose her people and actually accepted such a person as her subordinate…”

“Didn’t you see that the youngest one looked like he was 13 or 14? He’s just a small kid! What can he do? I think the princess consort was playing around when she chose these people…”

“Hah, I hope that they don’t cause any trouble! However, this seems quite tough.”

Before even coming in, they have already caused an uproar. Who knows what these people will do later on?

The few guards shook their heads in disapproval.

“Princess Consort is very outstanding, and this cannot be refuted. However, it’s a pity that she has many burdens pulling her back!”
