Chu Ge sent Zhu Mengmeng back to the guest hall to rest, leaving her with these words: "You've been bathed in a tremendous blessing of creation. Not just your life, but your body has been cleansed and transformed too-a true immortal physique. Once I get you a suitable cultivation method, you can do whatever you please in the Mortal World and find any handsome guy you want. For now, go back and sleep."
His words still rang in her ears when the stars shifted, and Zhu Mengmeng found herself in a cool, quiet guest room, leaning against the headboard. Moonlight spilled down like water.

The encounters with immortals in ancient legends had probably been like this... somewhere between dreams and waking.

Only this time had she truly felt what it meant to encounter immortals, matching every legend in her heart.

All those twists and turns practically put it at the bottom of a labyrinth, and the formation blocks any sensing of auras. I scanned the palace with my divine sense several times without finding it.
