Chapter 574 It seems she shouldn't have looked like this.
The person behind him remained silent for a moment before quietly speaking again: "Is that so..."
This statement sounded like a statement, yet it carried a hint of doubt, and the emotions it contained were so ambiguous that Fu Sheng couldn't quite figure out what it meant.
Fu Sheng, thinking this to himself, asked directly, "What do you mean?"
Fu Sheng could tell that her tone wasn't very good, and she felt a strange sense of irritation, as if she didn't want to bring up the topic with the other person.
"I just don't understand why I'm unharmed if there's no antidote for the Blood Demon Flower," the man asked. "I was also poisoned by the Blood Demon Flower, yet out of the three thousand immortals and gods, I'm the only one who survived."
"Isn't it good to survive? Why are you still so conflicted?" Fu Sheng felt her head starting to ache again, and her tone became somewhat impatient. "You said it yourself, you're different from them. The reason you're unharmed is very likely because your constitution is different. After all, Huai Jin, you're not a god."
After he finished speaking, the other person visibly fell silent.
Fu Sheng didn't want to continue the conversation, or rather, she felt a sense of inexplicable fear that made her avoid or even dread the topic.
She stood up from her seat, turned to the side, and glanced at the person who had been standing behind her.
It was this glance that finally allowed Fu Sheng to see the other person's appearance clearly.
Her long hair cascaded down her back, unbound by a jade crown, loosely tied only with a blue ribbon. Her eyes were gentle almond-shaped, with clear black and white pupils, like pearls soaking in a clear spring, and a very faint, luminous light shone in them.
What's even more striking than his handsome features is his aura.
Clean yet not sharp, with a warm and smooth texture like jade.
Clear and bright.
These two words suddenly popped into Fu Sheng's mind. This was the first time she had used this word to describe someone, yet she felt that there was no word more appropriate than this.
"I need to go back to my bedchamber to rest." Before the other person could speak, Fu Sheng spoke first, "You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you should go back and rest as soon as possible. You don't need to follow me for the next couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Huai Jin's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything else. She simply lowered her eyes and obediently replied, "Your subordinate understands."
Seeing that he was so obedient, Fu Sheng breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. Then, without looking at him again, she turned around and strode towards her own bedroom.
Huai Jin did not follow. After she finished speaking, she stood quietly in place, but until Fu Sheng left the palace, she could feel the gaze of the person behind her following her.
……
After returning to her palace, Fu Sheng dismissed all the celestial servants and then walked towards the mirror.
In the mirror, my face was clearly reflected.
She has willow-leaf eyebrows, a pert nose, and a pair of bright, lively eyes. The beauty mark under her right eye adds a touch of radiance to her whole being.
That was indeed her appearance, but Fu Sheng felt a strange, inexplicable feeling about it.
—It seems she shouldn't have looked like this.
Fu Sheng felt his mind was a bit muddled, and at the same time, that splitting headache came over him again.
The headache came on suddenly and violently, even more so than when it occurred in the main hall.
Fu Sheng couldn't help but sway slightly, and immediately braced himself against the table next to him to steady himself.
Along with the headache came several images flashing before my eyes like lightning.
The scene moved too fast for Fu Sheng to see clearly, but he could vaguely make out that everything in it was blood-red.
