Planting a Spirit Root

Chapter 112

In the quiet room.

Fang Shu's eyes gleamed as he cupped his hands toward Xiao Lili. Without the slightest courtesy, he pointed at the bed beside them. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please lie down over here."

Xiao Lili's face reddened, and her body still trembled slightly. Yet she let out a soft sound, then rose calmly and lay upon the bed. Her eyes immediately grew a little unfocused, as though her spirit had wandered beyond the skies.

Next, she felt Fang Shu reach out and search over her body, examining something like an old hand at the task. Yet he delayed for a long while without getting to the main point.

Suddenly, Fang Shu withdrew his hand. He even took a robe from the side and placed it by her bedside.

"I've already examined you. None of that medicinal ginseng's roots remain, so there are no further hidden dangers."

Xiao Lili was instantly stunned. She realized she had misunderstood something, and a strange emptiness stirred in her heart.

In truth, she really had misunderstood.

Fang Shu had only told her to lie down so he could inspect the state of the roots within her body. He wanted to see whether, after that Natural Secret Script had dissipated, it would condense anew inside her and undergo further changes.

But unfortunately, that Natural Secret Script was no longer present in Xiao Lili's body. At least, with Fang Shu's current discernment, he could no longer detect it. Perhaps it was hidden at a deeper level and would require divine sense to investigate.

Fang Shu felt disappointed, but his expression remained unchanged.

He revealed nothing and offered no explanation. He merely signaled for Xiao Lili to quickly change into her robe so she could leave with him and pay respects to Curator Du.
