Shangguan Ru opened her eyes to see herself lying on a soft, cohtweight material She was shocked and i that the internal energy in her Dantian was already back to norer, which she hid close to her body, was still around

Aover upon hearing the sounds from her bed “Master, you’ve woken up,” she said stiffly in Central Plains Chinese

Shangguan Ru only knew that she was still in the Land of Fragrance However, the locals were all soure them out “Who’re you? What’s this place?”

“I’uan Ru leaped off her bed and saw that her belongings were placed on a chair nearby She walked over and picked up her wooden saber, saying, “Who sent you to me? I want to see him”

Theuneasily “Please forgive your lowly slave, Master,” she pleaded

Shangguan Ru got a shock fro? Get up quickly,” she replied

“Please forgive your lowly slave, Master I cannot carry out Master’s orders”

Shangguan Ru finally understood why the et it, I’ll not visit him I’ll wait for him to coht?” she asked

Maid Lotus was in the adjoining roo in a garden, but the vegetation growing outside their rooive off a fragrance that intoxicated theuessed that they had probably left the Flower Soul Forest

The toned to the on and seemed to have never spoken to a normal person in her life before

Luckily, their questions were soon answered

The true master of the house was an old man whose hair and beard had already turned white He carried a white crutch and called himself shi+li Molo

He was the sa and the army of the Great Snow Mountain as the representative of the Land of Fragrance a fewthat time, he would pretend to not understand Central Plains Chinese, but right now, he was conversing with Shangguan Ru and Maid Lotus fluently in it

“The Land of Fragrance is a lowly country with a population of fewer than 6000 people Our people are docile and not fond of conflict; we don’t even have weapons Every year, a few of us will venture to other lands for business and barter for the daily necessities of our people”

“Our nation has been isolated from the world for centuries We don’t wish to have too ners here, and ish even more for news of our land to not spread too far”

shi+li Molo beat around the bush and started introducing the to to uan Ru could not stand his conversational style which was not to the point She bluntly cut hi a bad man and entered your country by mistake After we’ve left, we’ll be sure to keep this place a secret You don’t have to worry about that”

shi+li Molo sently but still seemed to be a little anxious Maid Lotus deduced his real intentions correctly “They didn’tfor us to help,” she said

shi+li Molo nodded aardly Old Man Mu had already becorance, and it was a problem he had which needed to be resolved iuan Ru and Maid Lotus had fainted in the Flower Soul Forest

Old Man Mu cursed as he fell froht and stood up before leaping onto the flower bed and escaping

It was a miscalculation on his part If he had known that the to fu rance, he would have i

He still believed the Chief Priest to be a kung fu master who kept his skills concealed As such, he did not wish to remain behind in the Flower Soul Forest and put his Niround until he was out of the maze

“The flowers are actually harmless, but I’ve coated their stems… with a bit of some chemical which can only be found in our country,” shi+li Molo said, sounding very sincere

Old Man Mu had already killed at least eight people over the previous two days, and they were all nobles from the city

The benefit of isolation was that the country was never invaded, but the disadvantage was that once it was, its natives had already lost the ability to defend thest theers like the Chief Priest of the Flower Soul Forest

It also happened that these paper tigers were the ones who volunteered to subdue the deh-spiritedly, and were also the first casualties
