Chapter Fourteen: Encountering the Mystic Woman Once More

"Baiyi, why haven't you come to see me all these years!" Granny Ninth stepped forward and gripped the woman in white's hands tightly. Upon seeing the scar on the woman's face, she asked with a pained expression, "What happened to you?"

The woman in white touched the scar herself and smiled faintly. "It is nothing to worry about, Granny Ninth."

"Do you not know that a woman's skin is her most precious asset? How could you let such a deep gash mar your face!"

The woman in white did not want to dwell on the matter and turned the conversation. "Granny Ninth, I am passing through because I have a few friends who need to enter the city."

Han Tianyue and the others stepped out.

The women here were completely unclothed, yet they showed no intention of covering themselves upon seeing the three men approach. This made Han Tianyue and his companions feel rather awkward.

"Oh, three men!" Seeing the men, Granny Ninth's face immediately blossomed into a flirtatious smile. She stepped forward and placed her hand directly onto the best-looking one, Mao Xuanzi. "Hmm, not bad, quite masculine!"

Mao Xuanzi felt very uneasy and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Han Tianyue offered a faint smile, thinking to himself, "It seems that being average-looking isn't such a bad thing after all."

Before the thought had even settled, Granny Ninth's hand landed on Han Tianyue’s private area. Instantly, his face turned bright red. "Though he looks average, I can tell there is plenty of substance here!"

Han Tianyue felt like he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

As for Fang Zhe, Granny Ninth did not touch him. She turned back to look at the woman in white and said, "You know that the Oracle Granny detests men. You have brought men into the Kingdom of Daughters in private; do you have any idea what will happen if she finds out?"

"Thank you for the warning, Granny Ninth. I understand." The woman in white grabbed Fang Zhe, and with Han Tianyue and Mao Xuanzi following behind, they hurried out of the room.

Once outside, the first thing Han Tianyue said was, "That Granny Ninth of yours is truly a pervert!"

They all glanced toward the spot where Granny Ninth had touched him and burst into laughter.

Han Tianyue felt like dying; a place that not even the Crown Princess had ever touched had been violated by an old woman.

Setting the jokes aside, the woman in white remarked, "Granny Ninth is actually quite kind. The women under her care are all very happy."

"You call this being kind?" Han Tianyue was shocked.

"You do not understand. As citizens of the Kingdom of Daughters, this is a form of happiness," the woman in white explained.

Because Han Tianyue and his companions were not citizens of the Kingdom of Daughters, they did not know what their lives were like, nor did they understand what they pursued or how they defined happiness.

These events were now in the past, and Han Tianyue and his companions did not wish to dwell on them. They followed the woman in white all the way to the entrance of the Queen's palace. Ahead lay the prison, which was currently enveloped in a deathly silence—a silence that felt deeply unsettling.

"So, you have returned!" At that moment, the Oracle Granny stood before the woman in white and let out a cold snort.

"Oracle Granny, what have I done wrong that you would frame me time and time again?" The woman in white did not understand. The Oracle Granny, whom she had always revered, kept claiming in the name of the gods that she was a cursed person and had repeatedly tried to put her to death. The woman in white had never spoken up before, but this time, she finally voiced her grievances.

The Oracle Granny looked at her coldly and replied, "Because you were meant to die from the very beginning!"

The Oracle Granny slammed her staff onto the ground, and the entire earth began to shake.

Han Tianyue, Mao Xuanzi, and Fang Zhe prepared for battle.
