Chapter 1430 “The Method to Save Her (5)”
“The Ice Fruit is automatically helping repair her core, we can no longer do anything else at this point aside from wait. She will wake up on her own once the time comes.”
It could be months or even years before that happens, but one thing was for certain, Bai Yan won’t give up on this daughter of hers. Regardless of Dragony returning to her old self or becoming a cripple, this mother only has one wish and that was her girl being alright and able to live her life.
……
Celestial Palace.Not far away in a certain manor, a certain sick looking lady was currently covering her own mouth with a handkerchief when she noticed the blotch of red stain from the deed. It pained the lady, which instantly roused a comment from the nearby maid.
“Miss… should we inform the house chief?”
“No,” the lady by the name of Yue Shishi shakes her head, “Grandfather has gone out to find medicine for me already, I will recover once I take it so let’s not worry others…. But why hasn’t grandfather returned yet after so long?” For some strange reason, she’s got this uncomfortable sensation something was off and it frightened her.
“This won’t do, I have to go to the Celestial Palace and ask Healer Yu to help me find Grandfather.” That said, the young lady promptly pulls herself up from the ground.
From a technical standpoint, the person called Healer Yu should be addressed as Grandshifu Yu by the girl here since that person was her grandfather’s shifu. However, there’s also another layer to their relationship since she’s also the old man’s disciple, thus complicating the relationship.
“But Miss, your body…” The maid sounded even more worried now.
Smiling to not alarm her servants, “I’m all right, you don’t have to worry too much about me. If you’re still worried then you can accompany me, this way you can help if anything does happen.” After throwing this down, the young lady didn’t leave room for discussion and stepped forward for the exit.……
Over in the main palace wing, the material and decorations here were magnificent to say the least. Even so, it could never mask the foulness of two females fighting over a man.
Right as Yue Shishi arrived at the entrance, she was welcomed by an unwelcomed individual who happened to be leaving at the same time as her.
“Yue Shishi, what are you doing here? It can’t be… are you here to look for the Lord?” Yun Ruo Xi snickers a chuckle, her tone mocking and disgusting as ever while she spoke to the sickly lady, “If so, then I can tell you now the Celestial Lord is not around. Too bad your trip is in vain. Furthermore, I am his fiancée. If anyone should entertain the Lord, it should be me.”
Fiancée, this word was equal to a sharp thorn poking at Yue Shishi’s already frail heart.
Smiling coldly to retort, the sickly lady doesn’t back down: “Ha, as far as I know the Celestial Lord never married you, nor recognize your status.”
“Yue Shishi!” Darkening in the face at having her sore spot poked at, Yun Ruo Xi wanted to slap the other side but kept it inside due to the other side’s background: “And how would you know? Back then you weren’t even born yet. Whether he is my husband or not, it has nothing to do with you. Unlike someone who only knows how to fantasize about the Lord, I at least met him in person, while you only know how to stare at a portrait. The Lord doesn’t even know who you are.”
The jab instantly made Yue Shishi draw her hands into a ball due to the frustration she felt. It’s true, she never met Chu Yi God in person, only crushing on the man because she happened to come across a portrait by chance. Nevertheless, she still fell madly in love with him in light of this thin frail connection.
