LETHAL FLOWER

Prince Li Shen was sitting inside his carriage when it suddenly stop. The horses were whining outside as the cold wind blows. Lights of the oil lanterns suddenly blown off. The Imperial Guards suddenly fell asleep. The surroundings became eerily quite.

Prince Li Shen slowly opened his eyes. He disappeared from his small couch and appeared above the carriage. Rong Ho who drove the carriage was already snoring.

Prince Li Shen waved his left arm and the whining horses immediately stop. He looked at the figure who was standing in the middle of the street.

"Greetings Your Highness." The man greeted.

" You have awaken. What business that brings you here this time?" Prince Li Shen asked coldly in his already cold voice.

"You know what brings me here Your Highness."

"This is my business and I don't want you to meddle."

" It's my business too, Your Highness."

"Do whatever you want. Just do not cross the line. Secondly, I won't hand you the man."

" That would be alright. But if it's proven that these things were all related to that person, you know what to do Your Highness. After all, both of us is at stake." The man stated before he disappeared.

Prince Li Shen entered back to his carriage. The lanterns light up again. The horses started to move and the Imperial Guards and Rong Ho woke up. The carriage continued to move like nothing amiss happened.

....

Shuang and Mo Fang teleported back to their Residence and Shuang went back to her garden house. Baixue and Heiye met her at the entrance in their still cat form.

" What have you found out in the Hong Residence? " Shuang asked after she entered her room.

Baixue and Heiye jumped above the table as both of them carried something in their mouth.

Baixue put the small piece of folded paper while Heiye put a brush.

Shuang opened first the small folded paper. A tiny portion of slime green powder that smell like a wood ash and rotten smell came to her view. What's odd was this thing emitted a slight glows.

Shuang set aside the paper and took the small brush. The brush looked ordinary like any other brush that is use for writing. The ink in the brush was still new so it was just used recently.

Shuang tried to twist the ferrule of the brush and it turns. She continued to twist until it's separated from the handle.

Inside the body of the brush was a small piece of paper. Shuang pulled it out and checked if there's still inside before she put the handle down and opened the small rolled piece of paper.

In the paper, was a drawing of complicated symbol. On the upper side, was a written language that she did not undestand. The words were composed of mostly lines and figures. After awhile of staring, Shuang rolled the paper back.


'These things....What really kind of world is this that I reincarnated?' Shuang was contemplating as she stared blankly at two things on her table. Then she looked at the two small figures who were also curiously looking at the two things in her table.

The two adorably looked at her when they felt her gaze.

Shuang smiled as she patted their small heads gently.

"You've done a good job. Guess I need to cook abundantly tomorrow."

The two immediately brightened as Baixue started to drool while imagining the food which made Shuang laughed.
