Li An, abandoned at birth in the cold palace, gains a miraculous gift when a seed from the Tree of Knowledge enters her mind, enhancing her intelligence and pushing her on a mission to gather wisdom points by applying her newfound knowledge. As she grows, she uncovers her noble heritage and encounters her destined fiancé, a proud young general who looks down on her. Will she be able to win his heart, or will he conquer her first? In time, as she showed her abilities, she was given a fief, a barren land. Now, will she be able to turn this wilderness into a blossoming rose? Or will she give up and just live a carefree life? Let's read and find out.
Chapter 76 Book 2 Arcanum Ei Heuman
The ancient dungeon loomed before Li An, its entrance carved into the jagged face of a blackened mountain. Strange glyphs, their meaning obscured by time, glimmered faintly along the walls, pulsating as though alive. The air itself was heavy, charged with an energy that prickled her skin. Seedee hovered beside her, his small, seed-like form glowing faintly in the gloom.
"Be cautious, Li An. This place is not what it seems," Seedee murmured, its usually playful tone somber.
Li An adjusted the grip on her sword, its blade coated with her spirit energy shimmered faintly in the dim light. Her black robes fluttered in the cool, unnatural breeze that seeped from the dungeon's maw. She stepped forward, each footfall echoing down the long, dark corridor.
