Perhaps its intentional, or the girl simply cut herself a bit too deep back inside the city, but her finger wound didn’t need further splitting when trying to drip the blood into the half-filled bowl that she tossed over.

  Shocked and taken aback at the primitive method, Keeper Ling frantically caught it midair before the blood could spill. Even so, the rude act couldn’t hinder the elation that’s showing across the old face: “Hurry Rou Xi, come take this blood!”


  He personally watched the baby girl bleed herself there, that’s why the old fella didn’t suspect a thing on why it went so smoothly. Furthermore, these Keepers from the Celestial Palace are all individuals who are not prone to the scheming and conspiracies of the human world, hence the reason why they are so easily deceived, especially by the old witch who’s been having their heads wrapped around her fingers.

  Yun Ruo Xi didn’t show the same kind of elation like the other side though. She’s downright panicking: “Keeper Ling…… I don’t think it’s a good idea…… Having me drink blood, I just can’t……”


  No, no, no!

  “You are the only hope of the Celestial Palace Ruo Xi,” the elder sighs with a frown showing across his old face, “and, only by having you recover will we never fall. Now we are only asking you to drink this blood, why are you refusing?”


  The old witch’s face only grew paler as she’s being forced into a corner. There’s simply no excuse she could use to refuse without her lies unraveling!

  Accepting her fate, Yun Ruo Xi decisively takes over the bowl and chugged the reddish liquid. However, instead of showing a look of healthiness and strength aftewards, the woman completely dropped the bowl onto the ground and shattered it. She’s bleakly white while trembling, which only got worse as she puked blood like someone being injected with a vicious poison.

  “Ruo Xi!!” Screaming out in agony over this picture, Keeper Ling rushes over to catch the following woman. Turning to confront the baby girl: “You wench, how dare you scheme against Ruo Xi!”


  Making an obvious skittish face at the huge holler, Di Ling Yan appears scared on the surface: “I don’t know what’s going on…… but I do know that if a bad person does bad things, they will be poisoned if they take my blood…… So, she must be a vicious and bad person as well.”


  Keeper Ling’s body started to shake all over due to how livid he was inside. He’s green in the face and wanted to strangle the young baby.

  Knowing full well she’s infuriated the enemy, Di Ling Yan starts to move onto her next phase of the plan: “Uncle Winger, when a person dies, will their blood solidify?”


  “Yes……” Winger’s mouth twitched because he now understood why the princess did what she did. She poisoned Ruo Xi by poisoning herself first!
