"Ow ow!" The Meat Worm was harshly poked in the rear again.
"Focus! Grade!" Yue Jinghua looked fiercely menacing.
"Ow ow, people bully worms... The grade is roughly between Middle-level Spiritual-grade and High-level Spiritual-grade. Just a reminder, this thing is helpful in controlling the temperature when refining elixirs and artifacts," Despite being unreliable on normal days, the Meat Worm’s eyesight was top-notch, surprising Yue Jinghua with its appraisal.
The first time she refined an artifact, she produced a Middle-level Spiritual Artifact. On the entire Eastern Continent, perhaps only Yue Jinghua could accomplish this.
After completing the artifact refining, Yue Jinghua didn’t stop, ready to begin creating several Elixir Pills.
Who would have known that as soon as she began to gather her energy, her vision darkened, straining to breathe.
The scent at the tip of her nose gradually weakened, a dark mist rose in her eyes, her limbs began losing feeling, and she curled up motionless like death, heavily falling to the ground.
Luckily, the loud noise caused by Yue Jinghua’s fall alerted Hongling, who was waiting outside.
Hongling saw Yue Jinghua’s cold hands and feet, called out for a long time with no response, her pretty face turning pale.
She had never seen her mistress in such a state. After returning from Hundred Beast Mountain, her mistress had invisibly become the pillar for everyone in the Jingxin Courtyard, including Hongling.
In Hongling’s view, there was nothing her mistress couldn’t accomplish in this world.
If something happened to her mistress, Hongling dared not think further; she carried Yue Jinghua and didn’t know where to go, fearing her mistress in this state would scare the Lady to death if they returned to Jingxin Courtyard.
Going to Yongchun Hall for a doctor was even worse, the people from Lie Family Mansion harbored malicious intentions, wishing for her mistress’s demise.
"Hongling, how can you be so foolish? If your mistress saw you like this, she would definitely mock you. Calm down, think where to go now," Hongling was agitated, pacing back and forth on the spot like an ant on a hot pan.
She thought for a moment, took out a few new Elixir Pills, Dark Earth Pills given by Yue Jinghua, and fed them to Yue Jinghua, which steadied her breathing slightly, but she still showed no improvement.
As Hongling became utterly at a loss, a warm breath brushed past her ear.
"Ow ow, this lord can’t stand to see a beauty cry. Dear maid, go to Royal Xuanji Academy, find that old man surnamed Qiu," the chubby bug, not knowing when it had climbed onto Hongling’s shoulder, tried to strike a dashing pose.
It was the talking Color Worm, known by Hongling as Gold Eater Worm, "Color Worm."
The Meat Worm tried to be cute again, but suddenly screamed in pain, as if someone poked it again, its rear birthmark lit up again, "Ow ow, stop poking, I got it. Due to ugly using three types of Spiritual Dark Skill in rapid succession for divorce, and then fiercely refining artifacts, she has fainted due to spiritual power exhaustion. If we don’t find a place for her to heal soon, at best, her senses will be damaged; at worst, she might not survive much longer."
Upon hearing this, Hongling hesitated no more, carrying Yue Jinghua and ran all the way to Xuanji Academy.
After arriving at the Outer Court, Hongling found Shalman. Shalman too was startled by Yue Jinghua’s condition, and together they found Qiu Chuzi.
"What happened to her?" Qiu Chuzi took Yue Jinghua’s pulse, discovering no injuries on her body, but her pulse and breath were very abnormal.
Her breathing was sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and it sometimes seemed to stop completely. Qiu Chuzi, always indifferent, now showed a trace of solemnity on his face.
Ever since Yue Jinghua entered Xuanji Academy, Qiu Chuzi felt she was extraordinary, seemingly without Dark Power, yet surpassing many students from the Inner Court, surely she had mastered some special Dark Skill Heart Method.
Hongling hesitated for a moment, narrating how today Yue Jinghua went to request a divorce from Fa Xiaoyi, then became like this, and handed over a paper that Yue Jinghua had tucked into her clothes before she fainted.
Qiu Chuzi took the letter, his eyes first noticing three big characters, "Divorce Paper."
Shalman was stunned, a woman initiating a divorce request, dismissing her fiancé before marriage; such a thing, even in the liberal Canglong Continent, was rare in centuries, moreover, the person involved was Prince Xiao Yi.
The more Qiu Chuzi read, his face alternated between white and red, and upon reaching the last paragraph, "My Lord, Fa Xiao Yi has failed to cherish Yue Jinghua’s sincere affection. Considering the inconvenience that a divorce might bring to Yue Jinghua’s daily life, marriage prospects, and other aspects, a compensation of ten years for youth is hereby given. Calculation follows the basic lifespan of the people in Shang Kingdom, at a rate of one thousand Fourth-level Dark Pills per year, summing up to eighty-four years, totaling eighty-four thousand Fourth-level Dark Pills. Considering the extreme mental stress Yue Jinghua might endure from the divorce, not wishing to eat or drink, the following supplements are additionally provided: ten jin of top-grade bird’s nest from Canghai Cliff, ten roots of Thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng from Gaocang City, one bottle of Dragon Saliva Cave Formation, one Fire Qilin Robe..."
