Do you know what people in ancient times used to wipe their asses?
Bamboo slips, tiles, and the like.
One careless move, and it would be chrysanthemums scattered everywhere...
Perhaps this was not a problem for the rich, since they could use cloth.
But for the poor, it was absolutely wonderful news!
If King Zhou could introduce paper when he ascended the throne,
his prestige would surely spread across the entire land.
This was why so many emperors throughout history made sweeping changes as soon as they took office: all for the sake of gaining prestige!
This time, even King Zhou's face showed emotion!
Nuwa Arrives
After giving the Papermaking Technique to King Zhou, Xiao Long left Bi Xiao behind and headed alone to Nuwa Palace.
Nuwa Palace was Nuwa's temple, built by humanity to praise Nuwa's merit in mending the heavens.
Nuwa had also gained immense fortune from mending the heavens, ultimately becoming a Merit Saint.
After entering Nuwa Palace, Xiao Long set down several sticks of incense.
He did not light them, merely placing them on the altar table.
There was no need to explain the specific effects of this incense.
Some flower-picking thieves in wuxia stories used this kind of incense.
Xiao Long did this just to see what expression Nuwa would have when she fell victim to it.
As for whether he would be discovered, Xiao Long had never worried about that.
Saints might be powerful, but they were not omnipotent.
Nuwa was probably still with her brother Fuxi in Huoyun Cave, so of course she would not know what Xiao Long had done.
Only after finishing did Xiao Long sneak away.
He returned to where Xiao Xun'er, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others were staying.
But the moment he arrived, he froze in place.
