Chapter 2164: Chapter 2164: Corrupted

But if you say that these plants are of the ice type, it doesn’t seem right, because their color is all red, from stem to leaf to flower, all fiery red.

"This is really strange."

Just like the fire silkworm clothes she is wearing, generally, anything that is red shouldn’t be of the ice type, it should basically be of the fire type.

At the very least, even if it mutated, a fire silkworm would have changed from ice blue to fiery red.

But conversely, these plants are just so odd; they are red in color but constantly emit cold air, no wonder it feels so cold.

She even doubted, if one were to splash a basin of water here, would it all turn to ice?

"What is this? I’ve actually never seen it before."

Inside the medicinal garden space, many herbs were planted, and she knew those books by heart.

But this thing, she really had never seen it.

Reaching out, she wanted to touch and see what these plants really were, but who knew...

Her hand hadn’t even touched the plants yet when a hand suddenly appeared and stopped her.

"Don’t touch it!"

"Hmm!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, Prince Niu’s was a lowered tone, while Lin Caisang’s was a muffled hum with her other nimble hand covering her mouth.

"You—You—"

"Shh!"

Prince Niu made a silencing gesture, released a finch, and then pulled her over and hid in another passageway.

Lin Caisang: "..."

This passageway was a branch, but she had only just walked down the main path, and hadn’t noticed this branch at all!

However, she was forcibly dragged into this place by Prince Niu.

Then she widened her eyes and saw the plant she had almost touched, ensnaring the finch that had been tossed over.

In the end, the bird decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, its feathers falling one by one, but before many could fall, they were caught by the plants below and then absorbed.

"This... What in the world is... Hmm."

Prince Niu, who was no longer covering her mouth, raised his hand again and tightly covered Lin Caisang’s mouth.

Lin Caisang’s heart jolted as well, because she heard a sequence of footsteps coming their way, and then she saw the emperor who had walked in ahead of her and his entourage returning.

"Who is there?"

The emperor looked at the passageway and asked coldly.

One of his guards, looking at the few remaining feathers on the ground, then with sharp eyes, scanned the passageway again, sensing the unfamiliar presence within.

Within the branch passageway, Lin Caisang’s eyes were wide, and she held her breath but still secretly activated the supernatural space from her Golden Bead Space, hiding hers and Prince Niu’s presence.

Damn, how sharp are these people’s ears?

She almost let out a scream just now, but she really didn’t make a sound, and yet it was enough to bring all those people back.

Are these dog ears or cat ears?

After a while, having heard no more strange noises or sensed unfamiliar presences from the passageway, the guards finally looked back at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it was just a bird, nothing to worry about," one of the guards reported back.

"A bird?"

The emperor still had some doubts in his mind, but soon, after seeing the few feathers on the ground, he let out a sigh of relief.
