Chapter 686: Chapter 685: Am I a Fairy?

Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo cautiously followed the manager ahead of them. After traveling through many long corridors and pavilions, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance to the inner sanctum.

The entrance to the inner sanctum was a large hall with a big plaque outside. The plaque bore the word ’Essence’, and its meaning was unclear. Only after passing through the rear door of the great hall would one truly enter the inner sanctum.

To enter the inner sanctum, one must pass through this great hall, which is constantly guarded by a Gold Core Expert who sits meditating with closed eyes, as motionless as an old monk in deep meditation.

At the rear door, there were also two servants checking waist badges.

Of course, Yusuf Zuck and the others were not checked since they were delivering ice to the sacred lady, and even a half-minute delay was unacceptable, for the ice could melt at any moment.

The weather in the southern continent was hot and humid. Many commoners had no idea what snow even looked like, let alone ice.

After entering the inner sanctum, the manager in front quickened his pace and urged Alvin Trujillo and Yusuf Zuck to hurry.

"How about that? We’re in, right? Told you I could do it," Alvin Trujillo said proudly.

"Who is the sacred lady?" Yusuf Zuck pretended to be ignorant of the situation, "And where does this ice come from? This is my first time seeing it, and even though it’s hot right now, I can still feel the chill!"

"Who knows where it comes from? But the sacred lady is the sole daughter of the sect leader and the most beloved figure in the Sect of Heavenly Origin. But be careful when you see her. Don’t look around or speak out of turn. The sacred lady has a temper; if you offend her, you could be killed."

As they conversed, Yusuf Zuck suddenly realized that a vast and mysterious Divine Sense enveloped them. This Divine Sense was extremely covert and powerful, imperceptible; had his Telekinesis not been exceptionally strong, he would never have known someone was spying on them.

Of course, Alvin Trujillo did not sense that someone was watching them.

"The sacred lady, she must be a fairy, right?" Yusuf Zuck continued speaking as if unaware of the Divine Sense probing him.

"Pfft—" Alvin Trujillo couldn’t help but laugh, but after opening his mouth, he said nothing. What he wanted to say was that the sacred lady wasn’t fit to even carry shoes for a fairy, but he was clever enough to know that walls have ears, and some words could bring disaster if spoken aloud.

Being able to mix in the outer sect and act important, Alvin Trujillo was certainly a man with schemes up his sleeve.

"What’s wrong? She’s definitely a fairy, and we’re in for a feast for the eyes this time!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled.

"Don’t just look around. If you do, I’ll gouge out your eyes!" Alvin Trujillo murmured quietly.

"Got it," Yusuf Zuck chuckled, continuing the trek. After walking a bit further, they finally arrived outside a grand palace guarded by two stone lions. Most importantly, one of the lions had a chain around its foot, which was linked to a person lying next to the lion, dressed in leopard skin.

No... not a person, but a Condensing Pill Monster Cultivator, identifiable by the collar around their neck and their garment of nothing more than leopard skin, beside which lay a broken basin filled with leftover food.

Yusuf Zuck couldn’t help but be amazed. To keep a Condensing Pill Monster Cultivator as a dog? As a watch-dog?

It should be known that this Demon Cultivator now looked exactly like a human, without even a tail, simply another human being.

Yet, the people here did not regard the Demon Cultivator as human.

The Demon Cultivator lifted his eyelids slightly, sniffed with his nose, and then said in a deep, resonant voice, "Go in."

"Yes, yes, yes." The manager didn’t dare disregard the Demon Cultivator, as those who knew more of the sacred lady’s private affairs also understood her temperament better. The Demon Cultivator that was treated like a dog today might become a favored consort in bed someday, so even the dogs kept by the sacred lady could not be offended.

After the three entered the palace, Yusuf Zuck walked with his head down, eyes scanning everywhere, searching for any clue related to Paisley Kirk.

Soon, after passing another long corridor and entering the sleeping palace behind it, two maidservants stood outside, both with Big Fetus Breath cultivation level. With the moonlight and lanterns, Yusuf Zuck continued to be disappointed, as there was no sign of Paisley Kirk.

"My lady, the ice has been delivered," a maidservant said softly to the inside.

"Then bring it in," a faint voice came from inside, not that of a young girl, nor a fairy, but just an old hag who had married who knows how many men—a public toilet, that’s all she was!

"Quick, quick, come in, and be careful," the supervisor urged Alvin Trujillo and Yusuf Zuck.

Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo, the two porters, shuffled in awkwardly.

The room was dimly lit, with only the glow of candlelight, and the sacred woman was already on the bed, with a layer of muslin curtains obscuring the view. It seemed to Yusuf Zuck that the woman on the bed wasn’t wearing any clothes.

"Place it well in the ice basin," the woman on the bed said faintly.

"Yes, yes, yes," the supervisor gave Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo a meaningful look, then they opened the wooden buckets they were carrying, took out the blocks of ice, filled each basin, and placed them at the four corners of the room.

"Put another two basins under my bed!" the woman continued.

"Yes." Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo each prepared another basin, placing one at the head and another at the foot of the bed.

However, just as Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo finished arranging the ice basins, the woman inside suddenly lifted a corner of the muslin curtain and poked her head out.

She was indeed an old woman, but heavily made-up, looking in her forties, and completely lacking in beauty.

Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo were startled, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The old woman looked at Yusuf Zuck with a smile, "Do you think I look like a fairy?"

"Damn, it was her!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, then nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, the Saintess is indeed beautiful!"

He felt like vomiting and wanted to chop off that head with a blade, but he could only endure it for now, as he had yet to find Paisley Kirk.

"Giggle, giggle..." Luna Wolfe laughed loudly, sounding as though her mouth was smeared with honey.

"But you’re really ugly." After saying that, she let the curtain fall and then spoke to the outside, "Reward them. You may leave now!"

"Yes." The maidservants outside responded, and Yusuf Zuck and Alvin Trujillo promptly thanked them and retreated.

Once outside, each of the three, including Yusuf Zuck, received a Gold Leaf, and the supervisor led the two away quickly.

Yusuf Zuck wanted to stay a little longer, to look for Paisley Kirk, but he really had no excuse or opportunity to do so.

If he rashly insisted on staying, it would no doubt arouse suspicion.

As he was leaving the inner gate hall, Yusuf Zuck took a special look at the Gold Pill Guardian and pondered the possibility of infiltrating the inner gate!

Actually, there was a possibility: as long as he could blend in with a large group of people moving into the inner gate, he could become invisible and hold his breath among them. Even if his footsteps made noise, the Gold Pill Guardian would definitely not notice.

But he needed to find the right opportunity. He couldn’t make the attempt in the dead of night or when there were few people. He only had the chance to sneak in when it was crowded.

"Right, the next couple of days, sneak in, can’t wait any longer!" Yusuf Zuck gave his Gold Leaf to the supervisor, while Alvin Trujillo claimed he needed to let off some steam and ran off somewhere.

Back in his room, Yusuf Zuck sat on the bed and began to plan, analyzing the steps to sneak in, and also considering how, after finding Paisley Kirk, he could take her out!

PS: Five Chapters updated. There will be two more at midnight, but I don’t recommend waiting; whether you get up early tomorrow, go to work or leave school, you can still read them. Don’t delay your rest. The reason it’s midnight is because it’s a new day, a new week, and I need all kinds of votes and clicks.
