Chapter 68: How the pigs are made
Gao Lan Mei placed the end of the stem of the Peacock Flesh flower first into the bowl with her blood mixed with it. She could see the flower absorbing the bloody water from the stems to the leaves then to the petals.
Some of the petals, turned light red after all the bloody water was absorbed. She then did the same with the other bowl and the handkerchief.
All the bloody water was absorbed by the Peacock Flesh flower, however, the petals that had initially turned red from Gao Lan Mei's blood did not brighten.
The other petals turned red as well, as if the bloody water from the bowl avoided the petals that were laced with Gao Lan Mei's blood.
Feng Ji felt relieved. 'Not compatible.' She wanted to do a happy dance, her face was enduring a big smile.
Do not get her wrong, she understood that her miss needed to be strong soon, but dual cultivation was a serious matter. Feng Ji looked like a child, but she knew how pigs were made.
With a little kissing and touching, baby pigs are born. Many baby pigs. She did not like the idea of many Gao Lan Meis yet.
With a frown, "Hmmm. Not compatible." Gao Lan Mei was disappointed, she was planning to give Xi Ma a generous dowry if he was compatible with her.
That's why she was collecting treasures from everywhere. For her and her future double repair partner. One cannot use a free service all the time. One must pay sometimes.
Now she needed to look for another strong cultivator for that goal. "Anyway, let's get the purple rose herb first in the meantime."
Feng Ji watched Gao Lan Mei leave the Peacock Flesh flower, she then decided to eat it.
...
Wei Jiayi and two of his trusted guards arrived at the Gao Manor. The earlier he could finish handing the purple rose herb over, the earlier he could leave. Now, in front of him was the very nervous Left Minister Gao.
It's been almost an incense of time and Gao Lan Mei had still not shown up. How many cups of tea did he finish drinking? How many more would he drink before she arrived?
What would that woman do if he decided to leave? He badly wanted to do so. Sadly, he could not back out of his word. He would just mess with her in a different way.
The guards and protectors did not miss the sly smile on the prince's face. He was now wearing a black mask covering his forehead to nose. The reddish lips, as well as the strong jaw that were visible, were enough to assume that the rest of the face under the mask was from a handsome young man.
While waiting, Gao Qi already asked the servants to make Gao Lan Mei hurry.
He did not know why Prince Wei had an appointment with his daughter, but regardless, the prince was their benefactor. Having a good relationship with him would benefit their family as well.
Before the prince arrived, his daughter gave him two pieces of shocking news. One, she has freed one of the assassins. He was not even sure if Gao Lan Mei's snake beast was still inside the assassin's body.
Next, he learned that two of the protectors assigned to her created a commotion when both of them suddenly had an increase in the cultivation rank. He now got a lot of requests from the other protectors to be assigned to her as well.
Before even getting to the bottom of these two incidents, now the controversial and mysterious Prince Wei was looking for her.
"What's with the mask? Hiding your wrinkles?" Then his daughter arrives, at last.
