While everyone was still reeling a little from Jiang Yu's words, a gentle woman's voice rang out:
"Oh... it seems I'm not too late."
"Why is there another one? Who are you?" Scott looked toward the voice and asked impatiently.
The newcomer was a black-haired woman. The skin at the ends of her limbs was naturally flushed crimson, and the faint outlines of scales were visible.
Jiang Yu sniffed and looked at the woman. Ever since she had approached, his heightened senses had been picking up a faint fragrance.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lingsha, Cauldron Master of the Luofu's Alchemy Commission."
With Lingsha's introduction, Jiang Yu and the others confirmed her identity. She must have been the new Cauldron Master who had come from the Zhuming to take over.
Jiang Yu's gaze lingered briefly on the outlines of the scales on Lingsha's body, then moved to the pointed ears poking out through her hair.
It seemed Lingsha was a Vidyadhara.
Lingsha nodded lightly to the Xianzhou group and headed straight toward the cargo crate without slowing her steps. As she walked, she said:
"The Artisanship Commission sent a document stating that cargo containing unidentified biological samples had been held here and required an inspection by the Alchemy Commission.
"Since I had nothing else to do anyway, I came in person."
Standing beside the cargo crate, Lingsha looked at Scott and said airily:
"Mr. Scott, if you truly don't intend to let us inspect it, then we won't. It makes no difference."
"How can you say it makes no difference?" Yanqing was puzzled by Lingsha's statement.
Even Scott eyed Lingsha suspiciously. "Why are you suddenly so accommodating?
"Since you said you won't inspect it, I'll be taking this cargo crate with me as well. No objections, right?"
"Objections?
