When Immortal Yue Yi came in, Lin Qiao was lying leisurely on the imperial concubine chair, drinking the tonic that Luo Nanchen had ordered her to finish before he returned from court with a bitter face.
So when Immortal Yue Yi first entered, Lin Qiao didn't pay any attention at all. Her mind and eyes were full of the overpowering tonic, and her nose was filled with the "fragrance" of the tonic. She thought it was just a little maid coming in to change the incense in the censer.
It wasn't until Immortal Yue Yi coughed and said, "Empress Dowager."
Lin Qiao then looked up, glanced at the person, and asked, "Oh, who are you?"
Since the court session today was especially long, Luo Nanchen hadn't returned from court yet. Usually, after Luo Nanchen came back from court, he would find all kinds of things to amuse her.
Lin Qiao didn't think this was the wandering Taoist priest they had invited. This little Taoist nun just looked a bit familiar.
Immortal Yue Yi smiled and said, "Long time no see. Do you still remember this poor Taoist?"
Lin Qiao tentatively asked, "...... Life is short. Seize the day?"
Immortal Yue Yi nodded, and both of them burst into laughter.
Immortal Yue Yi wasn't polite at all. She directly found a chair and sat down. "I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems you've understood my advice quite thoroughly."
"Not bad, just so - so......" Lin Qiao said awkwardly. "By the way, Fairy, what are you here for this time? Isn't your Taoist temple in charge of marriage?"
Immortal Yue Yi seemed to stagger slightly and almost fell off the chair. Then she quickly straightened up. "No, no. Although the true god our Taoist temple worships is in charge of marriage, but this poor Taoist...... Forget it. I won't pretend anymore. It's tiring."
Lin Qiao: "???"
Immortal Yue Yi cleared her throat and now looked quite serious. "I'm here this time to tell you a few things. Remember them well."
Luo Nanchen had been raising Lin Qiao like a child all day long. Her mind wasn't as sharp as when she first transmigrated into the book. She couldn't quite keep up with the fast - paced words of Immortal Yue Yi for a moment.
What was going on now?
Why did this Immortal Yue Yi seem like she was on drugs?
Lin Qiao rubbed her forehead. "Wait, wait. Let me take a breather first."
After less than ten seconds of trying to figure it out but still failing, Lin Qiao simply became very calm. "Just say it."
Immortal Yue Yi: "......"
Immortal Yue Yi let out a long sigh. "First, don't call me Fairy. Call me Goddess."
Lin Qiao: "???"
Since she transmigrated into the book, the strange people she met were getting more and more each day, from Meng Erliu to Zou Lvrui, and then from Zou Lvrui to Immortal Yue Yi.
Well, Meng Erliu wasn't strange. She was a pervert.
But what was wrong with this Immortal Yue Yi?
Thinking about it like this...... Luo Nanchen was really too normal, too perfect, and too cute.
...... Except that his view on love was a bit different from other emperors.
Immortal Yue Yi continued, "Second, I have to remind you. Although I probably shouldn't say this...... But, how should I put it? It's so hard. If I say it, I'll be scolded when I go back, and I might even be beaten. Why are you so difficult to deal with? Why are you so troublesome?"
Lin Qiao: "???"
Lin Qiao: "You're the one who's really difficult to deal with, aren't you? You're the one who's really troublesome, aren't you? What did I do?"
She thought this Immortal Yue Yi had some problems with her mind.
...... Maybe more than just a little.
She was supposed to be giving a reminder, but she didn't really say anything important. She said it even though she claimed she shouldn't, and she didn't know how to say it, but ended up saying a bunch of messy things.
It was hard to understand, and it made people want to beat her up.
Where was the once ethereal and beautiful Immortal Yue Yi? This must be a fake, right?
Lin Qiao rubbed her forehead. "What on earth do you want to say? Say it all at once."
Immortal Yue Yi stopped her rambling. "Fine. I'll just say it even if I'll be beaten. Let me tell you like this. There's no way for you and Luo Nanchen to have a happy ending. You should be mentally prepared."
Lin Qiao: "......"
What should she do if she wanted to beat her even more?
Urgent. Waiting online.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Qiao could hardly hold back her hands and her desire to beat this woman.
Seeing Lin Qiao's fists, Immortal Yue Yi had already lost most of her patience. She quickly explained, "Don't be angry first. I'm on your side. Although you don't remember...... Let me put it this way. Do you still remember the person who kidnapped you in the illusion before?"
Of course she remembered. That pervert. She would never forget.
That person not only let her experience the thrill of flying five thousand meters above the ground but also told her that she and Luo Nanchen would never have a happy ending.
It made her very angry.
But this Immortal Yue Yi in front of her was saying the same thing.
Lin Qiao raised her eyes. "Who on earth are you?"
Immortal Yue Yi seemed extremely wronged. "No, I'm not in the same group as that person. I'm on your side! Xiao Lin, you have to trust me!!!"
...... This person, just like the pervert in the illusion, called her Xiao Lin.
How could she believe that these two people weren't in the same group?
Lin Qiao gritted her teeth, trying to hold back the anger. "Fine. Then tell me. I'd like to see what you can say."
"Anyway, you just have to trust me. If you have any unfulfilled wishes or things you want to do with Luo Nanchen, do them quickly. There probably won't be much time left," Immortal Yue Yi smiled. This time, she didn't look stupid at all. She looked very serious. "I'm telling you this for your own good. And I'm really not in the same group as that guy in the illusion. Although Luo Nanchen is also investigating him, he probably won't be able to find out anything because they're not in the same dimension......"
This Immortal Yue Yi was talking more and more confusingly, and Lin Qiao was getting more and more confused.
The only information she could sort out was...... a Taoist nun directly calling the emperor by his name?
Wasn't this too arrogant? Wasn't this too presumptuous?
But there was too much information, and Lin Qiao didn't have time to worry about these things. Lin Qiao asked, "Luo Nanchen has been investigating that person?"
"Yes, but he probably won't be able to find out. Although Luo Nanchen is very powerful, that guy is not in the same dimension as you. No matter how powerful he is, he probably won't be able to find out......"
Immortal Yue Yi was getting more and more anxious. "I can't talk to you anymore. I'll be forcibly summoned back soon...... Anyway, this whole situation was set up for you from the very beginning. Protect yourself. I don't know when this situation will take effect, so if you have any wishes, do them quickly—"
"Bang—"
Immortal Yue Yi disappeared into thin air.
Lin Qiao was startled by this disappearing act and unconsciously took a step back.
...... She had been in the palace for so many years and had rummaged through all the famous books and ancient records, but she had never seen anyone with such a skill.
So, what was this "forcibly summoned back"? How could someone just disappear into thin air?
Lin Qiao was a bit confused now.
If this Immortal Yue Yi was a Taoist nun who came to attract attention and seek rewards from Luo Nanchen, she should have left a good suspense and at least waited for Luo Nanchen to come back.
But she just disappeared like this, even though she had walked in step by step when she came in.
And she told her to protect herself?
What did this mean? What situation was aimed at her?
Lin Qiao was a bit annoyed...... Where did all these capable and strange people come from? They were always causing so much trouble.
She had to go and talk to Luo Nanchen. It would be better not to find these people to amuse themselves in the future. These people would only cause annoyance.
Lin Qiao stood up and was about to go to the Hall of Diligent Government to find Luo Nanchen.
By the way, she wanted to see why Luo Nanchen was coming back so late today.
But as soon as she stood up, her head felt dizzy.
A sweet and fishy taste welled up in her throat.
