Chapter 2385: Are you a celestial maiden, Older Sister?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Next morning, at a sprawling villa located in the middle of a mountain:

Wanmei Villa was one of Yin Yuerong’s private properties with a very hidden location. It was specifically used by Yin Yuerong to raise gu insects and craft poison. Rumors claimed poison pervaded the air while poisonous insects covered the earth.

Everyone in Tianshui City knew it was a forbidden area, and no one dared to approach.

Because Yin Yuerong liked plum flowers, a forest of plum trees was planted in the villa, meticulously tended by the servants. It was currently the blossoming period for plum trees, so the fragrance of plum blossoms permeated every inch of the villa.

However, the architectural style of this villa was overly antiquated and the color scheme was dark. The scenery was clearly gorgeous but appeared eerie and lifeless, and even the flowers appeared creepy.

Early in the morning, light snow started dusting the sky. Accompanied by the howling of the wintry wind, the manor appeared especially desolate and frightening.

“Madam!”

As soon as Yin Yuerong stepped inside the living room, a servant cast down their head and stepped forward to take Yin Yuerong’s jacket off while a female servant rushed to serve their master hot tea.

Every servant silently stood in two rows on each side, none daring to breathe loudly.

Yin Yuerong took a sip of the Pu’er before saying, “Bring him here.”

“Yes yes yes…” Ah-Zhong nodded frantically and quickly ordered his underlings, “Hurry and bring that little b*stard here!”

Yin Yuerong’s brows imperceptibly knitted upon hearing Ah-Zhong’s words but didn’t comment on it.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door and two underlings brought a young child around four or five years old into the room.

The child was still wearing his blue school uniform. His skin was fair and pink, his cheeks chubby with baby fat, and his eyes were clear and bright, as though their observer had fallen into the starry night.

Despite being abducted to this strange and scary place, the little fella’s face didn’t contain a trace of panic, and he merely looked around curiously.

After Tangtang was brought over, he first examined his surroundings before his gaze landed on the woman sitting on the red wooden chair.

Yin Yuerong was dressed in a tight black outfit as usual with black boots wrapping her feet—though the color black merely complemented her skin and made it appear whiter. Her hair was black as ink while her exquisite looks lacked the smallest wrinkle.

If it weren’t for her overly harsh aura and frightening expression, people would believe it if she was said to be 30 years old.

At this moment, Yin Yuerong was also scrutinizing the child before her.

The moment she saw the child, she froze minutely.

This fair child crafted from jade… simply looked identical to Ah-Jiu when he was young. In fact, he was fairer and cuter than Ah-Jiu when he was young.

Even the housekeeper nearby was astonished and lowered her voice to whisper to Yin Yuerong. “Oh my, Madam, this child looks so similar to Eldest Young Master when he was young…”

The child not only resembled Ah-Jiu but his features also resembled that woman. This child completely inherited the finest points of his parents…

Worry filled the housekeeper’s face when she saw Yin Yuerong’s tempestuous expression. She was afraid Yin Yuerong would take her anger out on this child. “Madam…”

The housekeeper was still hesitating over how she should advise her madam when the little fella in the middle of the living room looked to the left and looked to the right before settling his sparkling gaze on Yin Yuerong and childishly asking, “Older Sister, you’re so pretty! Are you a celestial maiden?”

Yin Yuerong: “…”

The housekeeper: “…”

Yin Yuerong probably never expected this to be the child’s first line upon seeing her. Her expression was evidently startled, and her brows furrowed as well.

However, that expression couldn’t be considered as angry. She merely didn’t know how to react from the surprise.

Yin Yuerong’s expression turned stern. “Nonsense isn’t permitted.”

Tangtang tilted his head in confusion. “What? You have a rule that forbids people from telling the truth, Older Sister?”

Yin Yuerong: “…”

This was Yin Yuerong’s first time being rendered speechless.
