Chapter 119 The Sound of Chants and Mantras (2/2)

The wind and mist dispersed, and Shen Lian stared at where Zhao Xiaoyu was standing. An ant that was curling up had started to crawl up. She was stepping on an ant, and the ant was unharmed when she left.

Moreover, Shen Lian could not tell that Zhao Xiaoyu was doing it purposefully. It would show how scary her state of cultivation was, which explained why she dared to go against the Empress.

If Zhao Xiaoyu refused to talk, Shen Lian could not force her to either. The situation at Shendu was getting more and more unpredictable, and he did not want to fall prey to someone else’s scheme.

He decided that he would leave Shendu. After all, the current state of affair was different from his initial estimation.

He was still one step away from the Taixu Strategy. If he did not take the step, everywhere would still be the same to him.

Bai Shaoliu still did not know why would water flow from the top to the bottom. Out of a sudden, the sky that was supposed to be filled with evening mist turned into grey clouds.

The sky darkened, and misty rain followed. Shortly after, the sky started pouring.

He thought of something, as water flow from the top to the bottom, how then did the rain end up in the sky? If there was an endless reservoir of water in the sky and had flowed down to the ground when it rained, how was it that the ground is not flooded with water after hundreds of thousands of year yet?

Of course, he was not stupid. He was not about to ponder the question in the rain. Then, he realized that the lady boss had left really early today and she was still not home yet. He wondered if she would be caught in the rain.

As the sky darkened, it would not be safe to stay out for long.

He saw a paper umbrella in the rain.

Two people were sharing an umbrella under the dark sky, and with the veils of rain, he could only tell that one of them was the lady boss.

The umbrella approached nearer as he spaced out, and Bai Shaoliu finally noticed the other person. She was in white and looked like one of the Bodhisattvas from the paintings.

The lady boss could be considered a great beauty, and yet the other lady was a lot more eye-catching. Bai Shaoliu stood frozen.

A clear laugh rang in the rain, and it sounded so much nicer than the sound of raindrops.

”Senior Apprentice-Sister, your worker looked quite stupid.”

”What are you doing, standing here frozen? Hurry, go get me a bucket of hot water, I want to shower and change,” the lady boss replied coldly.

Bai Shaoliu finally noticed that the lady boss was clothed in grey. Despite his weak memory, he could still remember that the lady boss was not in this outfit when she left.

The grey clothing had a lot of patterns stitched on it, and the patterns were closely formed. Under the dark sky, he could not tell what was with the deal of those patterns.

Moreover, the lady boss gave him a kick. He could not do anything but to go prepare the hot water.

He did not want to keep the lady boss waiting, and even used his inner strength to add on to the flame. Within moments, the water was boiling.

When he finally got the hot water ready, the lady boss went into the room with the lady in white.

He was curious, but he did not have to guts to remain while the lady boss took her shower.

He did not know that the lady boss was lying in the bathtub, and every inch of her skin had black air seeping out.

The lady boss did not seem to be bothered by it. ”I have acted in accordance with your request. It’s about time that you pass the token to the divine ruins to me now,” the lady boss said to Zhao Xiaoyu.
