Chapter 747: Love Above All - 106
Chapter 106
Having made her preparations, she staked out the area outside the Jade Pool, waiting for the Queen Mother of the West to leave her home.
The water of the Jade Pool was formed from the Essence of Heaven and Earth absorbed by the Cloud Piercing Stalactite; it took a hundred years to condense a single drop and was known as Holy Water.
From a distance, the surface of the Jade Pool was as calm as a mirror, while a towering Rainbow Tree by the lake was colorful and splendid, with seven-colored petals fluttering to the ground with the breeze, layering the earth. Beneath layers of petals laid the delicate, seven-colored soil.
This was the hard-earned result of the ceaseless daily collection by numerous palace maids.
Lan Xi had waited an entire afternoon without seeing the Queen Mother of the West leave, feeling increasingly anxious within her heart and contemplating whether to go in first and figure out a plan afterward.
Just as she was about to make her move, a dark cloud suddenly covered the sky above her.
She looked up to see a young man in a purple robe embroidered with dragon patterns blocking the sun.
The young man was handsome and full of youthful energy, his features sharp and striking, with his thick eyebrows framing a pair of glassy eyes that sparkled with a mischievous light, "Wife, what are you doing here? Are you looking for the Queen Mother of the West? Why don’t you go inside?"
He had noticed her sneaky behavior and followed her all afternoon. She hid outside Jade Pool, looking all anxious and hurried, but she just wouldn’t go in.
Hearing his words, Lan Xi instantly became infuriated, grabbed the young man by the collar, pushed him to the ground, and covered his mouth.
