Suddenly,
Tap... tap...
A crisp series of footsteps sounded from afar,
and then a girl in a white lace dress, like a divine maiden, appeared at the garden entrance and walked in.
She looked several years older than Chi Yao, but considering how people on the Eternal Main Star generally developed early and quickly, she was probably not even ten years old?
Her long platinum-blond hair shimmered brilliantly beneath the sunlight.
Her face was stunning, her bearing noble. Her violet eyes were currently fixed on Chi Yao, carrying a trace of curiosity and scrutiny.
Whoosh...
Audishiya entered the garden and swept her gaze around. When her eyes met Chi Yao's in the pavilion, she raised her brows slightly before walking straight toward it.
Seeing this, the surrounding students—whether Lan Tuo Xing or anyone else—instinctively moved aside to clear a path for her.
Before long, Audishiya arrived outside the pavilion and sat directly on the stone bench beside Chi Yao, as though she were already quite familiar with her.
Then she took a piece of silk-wrapped sweet pastry from her pocket and held it out before Chi Yao.
"Here, for you."
Her voice was noble yet carried a sweet, magnetic softness that could make any man's heart tremble.
"This is a specialty of Bauhinia Imperial City. The filling contains Fourth-Order Basic Evolution Fluid, so it tastes better than any pastry on the market."
At those words, Chi Yao's fingers paused over the strings.
Fourth-Order Basic Evolution Fluid was a resource suited to Dragon Transformation cultivators. Even if it was only a basic supplement and contained only a small amount, it was still worth at least a million Eternal Credits.
If it were traded, it would involve units of Divine Minerals such as the most basic Pure Origin.
