The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1432 - 1445: Seeking Immortality (9)

Su Li waved his hand, signaling Tang Xianxian to come closer, and whispered in her ear.

"Do you understand?" Su Li said seriously with a stiff face, "If we succeed, the two of us can live together."

Seeing the fearful look in Tang Xianxian’s eyes, Su Li intensified his tone, enticing, "Just the two of us, oh."

Tang Xianxian: "..." She was very conflicted, extremely conflicted.

She instinctively wanted to evade, but had a premonition that if she really retreated, the distance between her and her daughter might never close again.

The servants at home all thought she would resent Ye Zhiru, watching her closely every day, fearing she might run out and harm that woman.

Even when she occasionally couldn’t avoid meeting Ye Zhiru at the old lady’s place, Brother Xiu Yu stared at her like a thief, glaring fiercely.

Actually, they all guessed wrong, she didn’t resent Ye Zhiru at all, only felt envy.

Envied her close relationship with her son and daughter, unlike her with Ah Lee...

Although she respected the old lady, Tang Xianxian still felt that without the old lady, just the two of them living together somehow seemed... more desirable to her.

Resisting her fear, Tang Xianxian agreed, "Mother understands."

Only then did she reluctantly leave, looking back three times with every step.

Don’t worry, the opportunity to spend time with your daughter will come again, no need to rush.

Tang Xianxian comforted herself as such.

Upon returning to Cai Zhi Courtyard, the original owner’s four personal maids, oh, wait, now there are three.

They eagerly fanned Su Li and brought her soups and snacks.

Just now, when the master brought Madam into the courtyard, they were all startled. Usually, the master is quite serious but not one to harshly scold servants. However, facing the Madam, his attitude was like a gentle breeze, so gradually everyone felt the master was quite approachable, seemed like a person without a temper.

Therefore, upon seeing the master’s unusually furious appearance for the first time, they were all guessing that this time even if the Second Young Lady doesn’t die, she will shed a layer of skin.

Madam may appear gentle and easy to talk to, but the servants are more terrified to act improperly before her. Everyone in the residence knows Madam values the Lady and Young Master greatly, and the master has deep affection for Madam. If Madam wishes for the moon in the sky, the master will certainly find a way to get it.

The Second Young Lady defied all odds provoking the Lady and the Young Master, even with the old lady’s backing, it seems unlikely she will have any good outcome.

This time differs from past verbal sparrings; even Madam should not let it slide easily, not to mention the master.

As expected, the master had a murderous expression, and they knew things looked bad.

Yet unexpectedly, the Second Young Lady had such fortune.

After committing these vile deeds, she could still lightly escape punishment.

Seems like exile to another courtyard, but as long as the old lady is there, can she really not return?

Ultimately, it is as if she was not punished at all.

Apparently, the Second Young Lady’s status in the old lady’s heart is higher than they all imagined.

Su Li leisurely enjoyed the maids’ service, these smart maids were frightened earlier, temporarily unable to make any troubles.

The original owner’s body was weak, so if her character wasn’t a bit fiery, these opportunistic servants would turn the world upside down.

Many sickening tactics to torment people exist in the back courtyard, there’s always a chance to leave you unable to speak your mind.

If one isn’t somewhat malicious, let the evil handle the evil, she would be the one getting trampled.

Life is already so difficult, should one still swallow grievances? That would be too miserable, right?

Su Li particularly adapted to this malicious character role, even quite enjoyed it, having the intention to perform this role more profoundly.

Flimsy surface-level evil is hardly evil, little girl hasn’t quite witnessed the sinister real world, naively simple.

Su Li: "Enough, I’ll rest for a while, all of you go out."

Once the maids withdrew, Su Li took out a powder box from under the dressing cabinet.

Due to physical reasons, the original owner couldn’t tolerate strong and stimulating scents. The incense burner placed in her room was merely for decoration, never used.

Don’t know when it started, but anyway the entire Xilin Dynasty’s noble ladies and women needed to use some incense.

Even lower-class women, if they spare some money, would buy some powder boxes to scent their clothes.

It’s said Su Heyuan quite enjoyed sniffing scents, perhaps to quarrel with her half-sister, any scent powder Su Heyuan bought, the original owner would insist on buying the same or even better ones.

Ye Zhiru, this stepmother merely indulged her, never stopped her, also didn’t care if the stepdaughter couldn’t tolerate the powder.

This resulted in shelves full of unopened powder boxes.

Su Li’s nose sensed lightly a few times, cleared the top layer, and picked another powder box from the middle.

Placing two powder boxes on the dressing table, Su Li took a golden phoenix hairpin and fiddled with it, pouring some dew from the vase to mix in, kneading out a few round, translucent powder balls.

A faint exotic fragrance filled the entire room, making even the divine soul involuntarily absorb it.

Su Li quickly flicked her wrist, placed the powder balls into a small white porcelain bottle, and rapidly sealed the lid. Only then did the room’s exotic fragrance gradually disperse.

Due to damages caused by space-time fissures, Su Li would suffer intense pain anytime she used spiritual power and entered meridians. She could only appreciate the graceful willow act like an ordinary person.

Though the exotic scent did her no harm, actually smelling the fresh fragrance earlier lightened her body significantly.

The Ancient Su Family’s inherited memories also contained records of the Incense Dao, but because these were minor avenues, never used before, Su Li hadn’t paid much attention to these.

Except in the previous small worlds, having spared some time, she studied it as a hobby again for a period, unexpected to have found an actual opportunity for usage.

Indeed, learning has no limits, the allure of knowledge is beyond imagination, as long as you continuously learn, adversities can’t catch up to you.

Now, isn’t it put to use?

Only through the original owner’s memories did she gain such insights into the customs and traditions of the Xilin Dynasty to have this idea.

Legend has it that by entering the Dao through incense, one can discern mystical sounds and directly access the hall of the universe, achieving supreme divinity.

It’s akin to entering the Dao through martial arts or swordcraft... just given the difficulty of mastering the Incense Dao, others prove simpler and more readily achievable.

Even in Su Family’s ancestral memories only one precedent exists, it is Ling Miao Wanderer who founded this Dao.

Merely this Loose Immortal was rather controversial, her entire being was a massive weapon, unless you could stop breathing like a corpse.

Still, even if you don’t breathe, wouldn’t your pores inevitably absorb spiritual energy, unable to escape her grasp.

Most formidable though was her seductive fragrance; even Immortal Monarchs couldn’t fully guard against it.

Only a pity that Ling Miao Wanderer hadn’t yet matured to her fullest extent, but due to enticing too much attention and falling into a trap, she fatefully perished.
