Chapter 2: Mysterious Black Cauldron
The moment the cauldron fused with her body, it felt like a small snake had bitten her palm.
By the time Ye Lingyue regained her senses, the cauldron had already disappeared from her sight.
Ye Lingyue glanced at her palm, only to find a small sketch of a cauldron etched on her skin.
It looked just like the cauldron she saw earlier on, only that it was the size of a nail.
After the cauldron entered Ye Lingyue's body, the mark seemed as if someone had permanently etched it on her palm, just like a birthmark. No matter how hard she tried to wipe it away, it wouldn't fade.
Her mind was buzzing with questions, but she knew she wouldn't get an answer in a short period. Instead, she decided to return to her house first.
Using her body's instincts after she had left the ancestral hall, she walked towards the courtyard behind it.
The Ye family's northern estate was split into two portions, and this included the ancestral hall and the backyard.
Ye Lingyue, her mother and an old maid had been living in the backyard for years, staying alive with the minuscule allowance they had.
As she walked, several short houses appeared in front of her. The houses looked like they used to be wood sheds before.
Several chickens were roaming around and a large patch of vegetables was growing in front of the house. Apart from those, there was nothing else. It was where Ye Lingyue stayed.
