Chapter 472: Chapter 468: Silly Girl_1
Wei Zhan furrowed his brows, focusing on his wife, “Where were you when she grew up?”
“I was still here.” Yingbao embraced her daughter, “Wei Zhan, remember, if someday I fall asleep again, don’t panic, and don’t feed me any medicine. Just watch over me.”
“You…” Wei Zhan became anxious, seizing his wife’s hands hurriedly asked, “What do you mean? Are you sick?”
Yingbao patted him reassuringly, “I’m just excessively sleepy, I’m not sick.”
She couldn’t tell him the truth, so she downplayed it. “I’ve just been very tired lately. My lord, please take care of Nuannuan a bit more and keep her company. Teach her to speak.”
Wei Zhan became more worried, “I would do these things without you having to tell me. Even if I’m away for official duties, mother is here. Yingbao, don’t scare me.”
Yingbao pulled out a box full of five Dingzhi mushrooms that Xuanwu had collected, “Keep this, it can save lives at critical times. I really am just excessively sleepy and don’t have any other problems.”
Seeing Wei Zhan still fixated on her, Yingbao hugged him again, soothing him in a low voice, “Alright, I’m very tired, let’s sleep early.”
Wei Zhan put the box aside, lied down next to his wife, held her hand tightly, and placed it on his heart.
Yingbao’s consciousness sank into the Divine Pupil, where she saw the giant sphere of light.
The sphere had grown larger than before, as had the pool below it, but the whole silhouette still looked like an eye.
Xuanwu floated in mid-air, standing on a shiny gold book, with a mirror floating above the book.
“Are you ready?” The golden turtle asked.
Yingbao nodded, “I’m ready. Can you directly send me near the fragment?”
“If conditions permit, of course.” Xuanwu said, his body glowing bright gold.
Yingbao instinctively covered her eyes, and when she opened them, she found herself lying on the ground, being buried by falling snow.
Immediately after, a wave of cold swept over her, she shivered, and her body began to hurt. It was just like the feeling of a frozen limb suddenly exposed to hot water.
Yingbao felt like she couldn’t hold on any longer, and immediately took a bottle of Dashizhi juice and poured it into her mouth.
The warmth gradually spread throughout her body, and she struggled to get up.
Looking around, Yingbao stumbled towards a dilapidated temple not far away.
Only when her bare feet hit the icy snow did she realize she was barefoot.
Yingbao didn’t have time to consider, she rushed into the temples to avoid the cold.
There were a few people in the dilapidated temple at the moment. Men and women, old and young, all dressed neatly, not like beggars or refugees.
They looked surprised when they saw Yingbao enter, but no one said anything. They all just silently watched her.
Yingbao scanned the crowd, finally found an empty corner and sat down.
Then, she asked Xuanwu in the Divinity Sea, “Tell me about this body’s condition.” It was obvious she had possessed the body of a girl who had just frozen to death.
But the owner of this body had died not far from the temple, it was clear she had some relation to the people in the temple.
Or rather, there should be people she was familiar with in the temple.
Xuanwu: “The original owner of the body’s name is Sheng. She was mentally impaired, the fourth in the family, hence called Sheng Si Niang. She was thirteen years old. Her parents had just passed away. She was traveling with her brother and sister-in-law to seek refuge with relatives when they were caught in a blizzard. They took shelter in a broken temple, but she wandered away from the temple and froze to death.”
Yingbao listened quietly to Xuanwu’s introduction and looked down at herself.
She was dressed decently in a filthy old cotton robe, but her shoes were missing.
Seeing the thick calluses on the bottoms of her feet, she guessed that this child often ran around barefoot.
Yingbao curled up in the corner, her feet on the icy ground were unbearable.
At this moment, she really wanted to wrap herself in the cotton clothes and blankets she had.
Or should she find another place for shelter?
She had stored quite a number of items in Xuanwu’s place, including food, some furniture and daily necessities, including cotton clothes and blankets, cookware, etc. She also had stored some silver coins, but not much, only over a thousand taels.
