Chapter 787: Lost Contact

She said softly, “Madam said I need to work another month before she’ll consider moving me back to the front courtyard. Mistakes must be punished.”
The maids joked and teased as they continued washing clothes. All of them possessed cultivation to some degree.
The garments they were laundering were high-grade combat suits made from rare materials. Washing them required special techniques, specific procedures, and custom detergents to avoid damaging the fabric or diminishing its protective qualities.
Only a handful of noble houses in Chongque City had the privilege and wealth to employ such specialized laundry maids.

“What’s going on? It disappeared?”
On Earth No. 1818, Shin Koharu stared at the figure of her master encased in ice. The faint glow around the ice sculpture was gradually fading, and a deep sense of loss settled over her.

She had hoped, just for a moment, that her master would break free from the ice and stand before her with a smile. She wanted her master to gently pat her head as she had done so many times before and praise her for her progress in cultivation.
But the soft light within the ice slowly dimmed; the miracle did not come. Everything returned to how it was before. She reached out and placed her hand against the ice. The familiar biting cold seeped into her skin. Shin Koharu’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
