Li Ye, sprawled on the ground and pretending to be a vine, was the first to sense that something was wrong.
He "looked up."
Even the little white flowers on the astonished vine had all bloomed.
—High in the heavens, a bright full moon poured down moonlight like flowing water, illuminating every last detail within the cave abode.
Faintly, it seemed possible to see a woman seated within the full moon. Long Immortal Ribbons gathered amid the moonlight into fluttering streamers.
One of them was reaching toward where Su Ya was in seclusion.
"Moon Goddess Wangshu?"
Li Ye froze for a moment, then hurriedly tried to return to his main body.
But before he could extend his vines, the moonlight beside his ear carried a breathy "Shh—" upon the wind.
In his daze, he seemed to see a graceful figure trailing a long skirt. Her face was unclear, but the woman raised a slender jade finger and made a silencing gesture at him.
His movements immediately came to a halt.
He could only watch as that Immortal Ribbon rolled several pills, each the size of a longan and patterned with bright moons, out from where Su Ya was in seclusion.
Then... it withdrew.
Its descent seemed to have been solely for the purpose of taking those pills.
All the moonlight retreated as well.
However, a small floating ball of light had appeared beside Li Ye, while several pieces of silver-white jade floated beside Su Ya in the Pill Chamber.
"So she was here to take pills."
Li Ye swiftly returned to his body and reached out to grasp the little ball of light beside him.
The light ball was roughly one or two taels' worth of "water."
Moonlight Divine Water.
The Moonlight Divine Water among the Three Luminaries Divine Water.
