316 Untitled (2/2)

Meng Fuyao smiled and was about to turn back when she suddenly noticed the woman sitting next to the young girl.

She didn't look directly at the woman—all she saw were her hands beside the box. Her fingernails were flawless, yet upon closer look, she noticed that they were slightly curled as if they had been soaked in hot water. Usually, only people who were trained in physical martial arts would do it to protect their fingernails, but which woman would learn that kind of aggressive skill? Moreover, it was obvious that this pair of hands was extremely slim and smooth, and had probably never picked up a sword before, much less trained in physical martial arts.

Meng Fuyao stared at the pair of intriguing hands curiously, and her gaze followed the hands upwards to a blue and red sleeve. The colors were extremely vibrant, and upon looking upwards further, she saw a long and delicate neck, and after that, an exquisitely beautiful face.

The woman's skin was honey-colored and had a translucent quality, and her features were sharp and bright, yet she did not carry the air of a mutant race. Her eyes were deep-set, carrying a gaze that looked like a flame burning within an ocean. The first impression upon seeing her eyes was that it was cold, yet a second glance made one feel it was simply alluring.

Meng Fuyao had never seen such eyes—Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were as deep as the ocean, but it was a sun-kissed ocean, dazzling and brilliant, yet this woman's eyes were deep and brooding, like a mystical ocean that one was unable to enter.

Sensing Meng Fuyao's gaze on her, the woman looked up and gazed fixedly at Meng Fuyao. In that moment, Meng Fuyao swooned.

Thereafter, she heard the young girl suddenly let out a snort, as if unhappy that Meng Fuyao was staring too blatantly at the woman. With a push of her hand, she sent to box towards Meng Fuyao.

The five-colored box slid across the table to reveal several white paper-like things that drifted towards Meng Fuyao's arm.

Meng Fuyao poked the thing with her finger, and the thing stopped in midair and struggled for a moment before growing out four little legs. Suddenly, tubes sprang from its legs, and it sank itself into her finger.

The white tubes instantly turned red upon contacting Meng Fuyao's skin; that thing could actually suck blood!

Meng Fuyao was definitely not willing to let this monster suck her blood and reached out to break the tubes when the woman suddenly reached out and flicked, her finger, breaking the tubes. She then cast a withering glance at the young girl and made several gestures at Meng Fuyao, seeming to apologize.

Meng Fuyao was already thinking that it was too much to suddenly let monsters bite other people without reason, but when she saw the woman, she could only smile and nod, preparing to leave. However, the woman continued to look at her fixedly, then suddenly made several more hand gestures.

The three-braid young girl rolled her eyes and translated unwillingly, ”Saint… Milady says, are you thinking about something? Do you have something troubling you that you can't resolve.”

Meng Fuyao was stunned and exchanged glances with Zhangsun Wuji. She smiled casually and said, ”Your lady is indeed special, then can I first ask, whether your lady can tell what's troubling me?”

The woman made several hand signs wordlessly, and the young girl interpreted, ”Milady says, 'You come, and you go, but if you don't know where to go, how can you find your way?'”

Meng Fuyao was thunderstruck by now, thinking that there were indeed many wondrous people in the Five Regions Continent. This woman was probably somewhat spiritual, so she decided to continue testing her and replied, ”May the lady, please explain.”

The woman sat up and smiled gently at Meng Fuyao, making Meng Fuyao swoon once again, feeling as if her brain was flying swiftly past several scenes, faster and faster until everything became a blur. Suddenly, she stopped, and she faintly heard a faint popping noise and her entire body shuddered as she watched the woman's eyes suddenly fly out and move around in her brain as if trying to replace her eyes. This feeling was way too horrifying, and her heart went cold, and she instantly woke up.

After she woke up, she realized that the woman was still sitting perfectly still opposite her. Where was there any of that eye-popping action earlier? It was probably an illusion, Meng Fuyao's mind was a blur, her heart was empty as she stared numbly, unable to speak. She was afraid of the woman's abilities now but seeing that Zhangsun Wuji had not interfered with the woman's actions, it meant that the woman was not attacking her.

Except… what was she looking at? She still couldn't recall anything.

However, the woman had already picked up the young girl and stood up, then threw over a piece of red and white paper. ”Burn it and drink it, even if you don't drink it, breathing in the ashes is fine too, do what you will with it,” the young girl interpreted.
