56 Chapter Fifty-Six

'Disgusting... Inhuman...Atrocity....'

Wrapped in around 5 blankets, a beautiful human potato stared at the medicine filled bowl in front of her as if she was facing her worst enemy. Her eyebrows were clenched in concentration as she thought of a million ways to get rid of the black liquid.

If she tried it would officially be attempt number 10.

It had been 3 days since Meng collapsed because of her injuries sustained from the empress. The majority of the time she spent laying down, not that it was needed. Master Rong had used spiritual energy to heal her in hours.

However, regardless of how many times she argued this fact it was helpless. Now in the room Rong You had set up, she was stuck with 5 books about cultivation and a snitch.

Meng directed a harsh glare at Su Lou who was moving items into place.

The room wasn't a large one and was about the size of two closets. Three pieces of furniture made up the room including the bed, Meng was sitting on. The other two included a night stand and a chair.

It was nothing extravagant, but was still better than her room in her previous life.

"You aren't done organizing yet?" Meng questioned Su Lou with suspicious eyes.

Over the last three days it seemed that her 'guard' and Master Rong has become the best of friends.

Not because Su Lou has learned to not want to kill her, but because they both shared the mutual satisfaction in torturing her. Su Lou was given the task to make sure she drunk all of the medicine given to her, which regardless of what they tried was not going to happen.

"Not yet Princess Ru Gu Meng just a few more things." Su Lou responded innocently.

Meng's glare intensified. Su Lou was clearly only staying here because she wanted to watch over Meng's actions. After all, she has been organizing the same chair for 2 hours...

This betrayal was worthy of death, however sadly she wasn't able to get rid of the traitor with Rong You protecting her.

Sighing to herself, Meng gave up on kicking Su Lou out for the time being. With a resigned look, she picked up one of the books on the night stand and started to flip through it.

It was a basic cultivation book given to her by Rong You to study while she was grounded from moving.

Basically it was read all of the books or drink the medicine. 3 days were devoted to getting around both, now it seemed it was time she changed her tactics.

Meng's face was filled with distaste as she looked at the book.

Meng loved to read, however her reading mainly consisted of fiction books. Nothing was interesting about the world around her, therefore why waste time on it?

With forced concentration, Meng processed the words from the book before her eyebrows went up. Her headache from forcing herself to focus went down as she read more of the book.

Maybe she picked out a wrong book the first time she came to this library... the book she was reading now didn't seem bad at all.

Navigating her blanket potato body into a more comfortable position, Meng started to sincerely read the book.

It was about things she could already pull from Defying Moonlight, however it gave a more detailed view of it. It was practically like a break off book from Defying Moonlight.

The flipping of the pages got faster and faster until the 800 pages book was placed back on the night stand.
