Chapter 34: Encountering the Flying Immortal at Moxiang Pavilion
Lin Fan followed the procession of maids and eventually arrived at an elegant pavilion.
Before they even stepped inside, a faint scent of ink drifted over, mixed with the delicate fragrance of orchids, refreshing the mind and spirit.
Upon entering the pavilion, what met the eyes were paintings and poems hanging all around. Every piece featured exquisite brushwork and a profound Concept, clearly the work of a master.
"Palace Master, we have prepared the items you requested."
The head maid respectfully led the group forward to bow, her tone deferential.
Lin Fan followed suit, bowing his head with a submissive expression while secretly stealing a glance at the Palace Master in front.
Upon seeing her, his heart jolted.
Wasn't this the Ink-Brush Flying Immortal—Palace Master Shangguan Waner?!
Her skin was as white as snow, her features were exquisite, and her cherry lips were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of aloofness.
A simple white robe accentuated her appearance, making her look like an immortal descended to the mortal world, possessing an extraordinary bearing.
Palace Master Shangguan Waner gently raised her hand, pointing to the few people at the end of the line, and said indifferently, "You few, come with me. The others, take the items to the main hall."
Lin Fan's heart tightened slightly, and he hurriedly followed.
But as they walked, he felt increasingly strange—what were the items on the trays held by these maids? Why did they need to be used "right now"?
Filled with doubt, he quietly activated his Void Realm Eye to peer into the brocade boxes on the trays of the people in front.
The first tray held a gorgeous palace gown. The second tray held a soft bath towel. The third tray held fragrant flower petals.
Lin Fan's mouth twitched, and his heart skipped a beat. Aha, this was for bathing and changing clothes!
He quickly looked down at the food on his own tray, then looked at the items others were carrying, his heart pounding wildly.
A flash of inspiration struck, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he used his ability to manipulate reality to silently swap the food for a bath brush.
After entering the bathroom, the three maids placed the items down in order. Lin Fan bit the bullet and stepped forward, placing down the item he had "carefully prepared" as well.
Palace Master Shangguan Waner had already shed her plain clothes and slowly immersed herself in the bathtub. Warm steam billowed in the air, adding a hazy quality to her already fair skin.
She leaned lazily against the edge of the tub, glanced casually at the item Lin Fan had placed down, and furrowed her brows slightly. "What is this?"
Lin Fan's heart tightened, and he immediately entered performance mode. With a straight face, he replied in a sweet voice, "Replying to the Palace Master, this is a new item I recently came up with. It can clean the body 360 degrees without any blind spots. Long-term use can remove dead skin and make the skin smoother and more delicate. It is an absolute quality product."
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Shangguan Waner showed some interest and reached out with her slender hand, gesturing slightly. "Bring it here, let me try it."
Lin Fan hurriedly presented it with both hands. Palace Master Shangguan Waner took the bath brush, tested it lightly on her arm, and then let out a soft "Hmm," her voice rising slightly with a hint of rare pleasure.
"Ah… how comfortable." She closed her eyes, leaning against the edge of the tub in enjoyment, and casually ordered Lin Fan, "You come help me scrub."
Lin Fan's heart pounded wildly. This kind of good thing… how could he miss it?!
He took the bath brush, walked behind Palace Master Shangguan Waner, and began to gently scrub her.
In the bathtub, warm water vapor rose, and a light mist filled the air. Palace Master Shangguan Waner's skin was delicate, and under the touch of the bath brush, she couldn't help but tremble slightly. Then, she relaxed her brows and sighed softly in praise, "Hmm… this is truly comfortable. I didn't expect you to be so clever to come up with something like this."
Her tone carried a hint of appreciation as she asked casually, "What is your name?"
Lin Fan's hand paused, and he thought to himself, 'Not good, I haven't thought of an alias!' However, his mind was extremely fast. A suitable name flashed through his mind, and he immediately answered sweetly, "Replying to the Palace Master, this servant is called 'Su Xiaoxiao'."
Palace Master Shangguan Waner smiled lightly, her voice lazy and tinged with a bit of teasing, "The name is quite cute. But, are you as stingy as your name implies?"
Lin Fan said tremblingly, his voice soft and delicate, "This servant wouldn't dare!"
Palace Master Shangguan Waner chuckled and splashed the water, saying as if it were trivial, "Good! From now on, you shall serve by my side."
Lin Fan was stunned, then immediately bowed his head in salute, his voice delicate, "Yes, Palace Master."
The three maids nearby heard this and all revealed expressions of envy. However, Lin Fan, now named "Su Xiaoxiao," didn't care at all. He remained in a carefree state, continuing to carefully scrub Palace Master Shangguan Waner's skin…
After Palace Master Shangguan Waner finished bathing, Su Xiaoxiao—the Incarnation of Lin Fan—followed closely behind. The two passed through a long corridor hung with poems and paintings. A gentle breeze blew, filling the air with the scent of books, and they soon arrived at the main hall of the library.
Before the entrance of the main hall, two maids bowed and said respectfully, "Palace Master, the three guests have arrived and are waiting inside the hall."
"Good." Palace Master Shangguan Waner responded softly and led Su Xiaoxiao into the main hall.
The hall was antique and elegant, with desks filled with ancient books. A faint scent of sandalwood permeated the space, making it appear both refined and luxurious.
On the elegant platform to the left, two beautiful women were sitting cross-legged, one older and one younger. They were Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
Da Qiao had a tall figure, and her Hanfu was stretched by her voluptuous curves, her slender waist exuding charm.
Xiao Qiao was petite and exquisite. Although her figure was small, it was equally curvaceous, on par with the Su Xiaoxiao that Lin Fan had transformed into.
On the elegant platform to the right, a woman was wrapped in a simple white silk dress, lying lazily on her side with her long, jade-like legs raised high. It was Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji.
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself that with her here, he would definitely be able to find the whereabouts of Lin Chen.
"Waner, you finally arrived. The three of us have been waiting for ages." Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji slowly sat up straight, adjusting her dress as she spoke.
Palace Master Shangguan Waner smiled and said, "I just finished changing, it took some time. You guys are looking for me this time, it wouldn't be because you want me to paint you again, right?"
Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji snorted and said irritably, "I almost couldn't return from the Lower Realm, yet you still have the heart to tease me? However, coming here this time really is to ask you to do some work."
"I knew it. Nothing good ever comes when you look for me." Palace Master Shangguan Waner's eyes shifted slightly. "Speak, what is it?"
Xiao Qiao said with a giggle, "It's about the return of the Divine Lord's wife. Once she returns, the Divine Lords Palace must be reopened. That place has been sealed for who knows how many years. The cleaning, arranging, and decorating inside…"
Palace Master Shangguan Waner raised her hand to interrupt, "Alright, I understand. So how many people did you find? It wouldn't just be the four of us, right?"
Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji stretched, saying helplessly, "Of course not just us. We ran all over the entire Dao Alliance. Now I just want to rest for a while; my legs are almost broken from running."
As she spoke, she lay back down, her long, jade-like legs raised high, tapping gently. Her snow-white skin glowed with a warm luster under the light, which was very alluring.
Su Xiaoxiao watched this scene, his throat tightening slightly, and he quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, while still maintaining a well-behaved and cute appearance.
Seeing Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji like this, Palace Master Shangguan Waner's lips curled slightly with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Miss Yu, how about I let my Xiaoxiao give you a massage?"
Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji looked at Su Xiaoxiao. Seeing her cute and well-behaved appearance, she immediately felt a sense of goodwill and smiled, "That's a good idea. Come and give this lady a massage."
"Yes, Palace Master." Su Xiaoxiao bowed, stepped forward, and knelt halfway in front of Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji. He carefully placed her legs on his own lap and began to knead them gently with both hands.
Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji narrowed her eyes slightly and sighed softly, "Hmm~ comfortable." She looked lazily at Palace Master Shangguan Waner and smiled, "Your maid is truly cute and well-behaved. Why not give her to me?"
Palace Master Shangguan Waner chuckled, "Su Xiaoxiao was only discovered in the pile of mediocre people today. I haven't even experienced her service yet, so no!"
Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji pouted, "Stingy. When you borrowed Immortal Crystals back then, I didn't hesitate at all."
Palace Master Shangguan Waner paused slightly, then smiled, "Lending is fine, but you have to let me experience enough first."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly looked up and said in a soft voice, "Palace Master, Xiaoxiao only wants to follow you alone."
Palace Master Shangguan Waner's eyes lit up, and she nodded with satisfaction, "Good! I won't lend you to anyone."
After chatting for a while, Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji stood up and stretched, "Let's go. Finish early and get it over with."
"Mm!"
The group headed toward the Divine Lords Palace. Su Xiaoxiao followed obediently by Palace Master Shangguan Waner's side. Behind them, dozens of maids walked in single file, their dresses fluttering, their steps orderly.
In order to decorate the Divine Lords Palace, almost all the female dependents of the Dao Alliance came out in full force, creating an imposing spectacle.
