Black smoke filled the luxurious bedroom, the young princess coughed wildly and blindly made her way towards her bedroom balcony she somehow managed to get it open and stepped outside breathing in the clear air greedily.
The black smoke wafted out of her bedroom balcony door causing the few servants below in the garden to scream in horror "There's a fire!" a shrill voice echoed on the garden grounds, not long after a unit of ten knights marched inside.
"My lady are you alright we heard that loud sound!" multiple male voices called out to the young princess who hung half of her body over her balcony railing "I-I am alright" she answered back coughing afterward.
Her eyes are teary and red and she spat out some blood 'Did I fail to make the potion properly?' Qaihong Gho wonder when she had made a mistake. Lai Shufen rushed over to her and patted her back, noticing Qaihong Gho's unusual pale complexion "My lady, what caused all of this smoke?" he asked urgently, needing to know what kind of danger had befallen her.
Qaihong Gho took a moment to collect her breath "It's my fault, I made a crucial mistake while making some good luck potions" her lips quiver, and her brows furrow but her eyes are filled with hundreds of sun underneath the lace mask she wore.
"Sir we found a strange substance in this large iron pot" one of Lai Shufen's knights stated, Lai Shufen looked towards Qaihong Gho with a raised eyebrow "what state are they in?" she asked shakily.
The knight brought over three bottles filled with golden color liquid and the four-season clover floated elegantly inside every small bottle that's the size that can fit in a child's palm perfectly. I took the three bottles away from him and input my moon essence into my eyes; revealing the grade of the potion.
Potion Type: Lucky
Potion Grade: low quality
Effects: gives whoever drinks it a plus ten in the luck stat for 2 hours
Side effects: Unknown
"Hey they didn't turn out too bad but maybe next time I'll be able to make more potions but of a higher grade" uttering out my thoughts out loud the knights around me gave me the look of a person that has gone insane.
I force myself to smile at them and closed my eyes, wow this ability allows me to appraise stuff as you do in games, how intriguing!' Now that reminds me I should give those potential boosters to my knights.
Putting my low-grade lucky potions I take out nine boosting cultivation potential potions "Lai Shufen give these to the knights that you think are worthy. I'll make a new one for you Lai Shufen so don't worry about being excluded" Lai Shufen looked upon me doubtfully.
"Lai Shufen you can assist me the next time I make more but for now I need a place to crash" the knights became tense by my words. A chuckle escaped my mouth after realizing they may have taken "A place to crash" a tad bit too seriously.
"I feel exhausted are any of the guest rooms cleaned?" one of the knights became flustered for a moment before storming out in a rush to ask the maids and eunuchs, Lai Shufen let a sigh escape from his thin lips.
The knight came back with a eunuch beside him "My lady this eunuch will bring you to a guest room till they have your room clean" he informed me briefly; Stretching my tired body I follow the eunuch to the guest bedroom and went to sleep.
The next morning I was woken up by thunderous knocks, lifting my head groggily. I made my way to the door and opened it. A Panic Eunuch looked me over before stating his business "My lady a high ranking cultivator is here and is demanding to you see you right away" he spoke urgently, he fidget with the green jade in his hands.
"Tell one of the maids to bring me clothes and get one to fix up my rat nest" with this ordering being said I had four different maids attending to me, they dressed me up in one of my more similar hanfu and put in small purple flowers in my hair along with pearls.
They did my makeup lightly and brought me a hand mirror taking a few minutes to admire their work. I smile with satisfaction "Go and prepare some light snacks for the cultivator" they bowed their heads and left swiftly not wanting to linger and face my wrath.
Walking out on my own I use my moon essence on my eyes again but this time searching to see where they put this unexpected guest that has caused my whole manor to be flipped on its side. After walking for a bit I entered a nature theme room that has a square wooden table and a flower pot placed in the middle.
Upon entering I spot a handsome-looking late teen boy who has a scowl on his facial features and had this imposing air about him. His eyes landed on me, his deep green eyes burn a hole through my forehead.
"I told you maids to go and get your master!" he hollered at me with a scornful gaze, Lai Shufen enter the room and bowed down towards me "your highness" tearing my attention away from the seething cultivator I glared coldly at Lai Shufen "Lai Shufen you may stay" Lai Shufen dark-colored eyes ease a bit upon my order.
I go over to the opposite chair of the seething cultivator who tried to prevent me from going anywhere near him by using killing intent, it is pathic "I am the master of these lands, Princess Qaihong Gho" the strong young cultivator furrow his brows in disbelief.
"Whats is your purpose of visiting my humble lands and why have you caused trouble?" authority laced in my voice while I asked my questions. The cultivator's frown deepen by tenfolds at this point he is ruining his handsome features "do you know the state of your village?" his tone is a bit softer this time, I nodded my head solemnly "I do and before you scold me commoner I have only recently inherited these lands" his face quickly turn to shock.
"I have been working on my village problems and I don't need some outsider poking their nose in my land business it's rude and insulting" my words are fierce but he just sat there soaking up all of my harsh words.
"And let's be clear I don't care about what kind of genius cultivator you are if you bring any trouble to my village I will put a hit on your head" his eyes widen in disbelief at my claims. Standing up I walked towards him and thrust my palm onto his chest and sent my moon essence straight into his body where it engaged his heart.
Leaning down I whisper "if you try to kill me or even think about causing trouble for me I'll explode your heart before you can" he trembled and his healthy completion became whit than a sheet.
I backed away from him and exit the dining room with Lai Shufen "my lady what did you do to that cultivator?" he looked panicked as if I did something wrong, scoffing I replied to him "my people come first and I may not be strong when it comes to fighting but I can curse people that even a Saint can't break."
Lai Shufen's eyes twinkled "please enlighten me your highness" he sounded very intrigued by the new information that I have just given him "I am not a cultivator like everyone else in this mansion, I am a magical entity that was made by the gods" I explained thinking it would be a better way of explaining on what I was then by saying "Oh yeah I'm a witch of the blue moon" plus I rather not get into a lot of detail of witches.
"Then that explains everything" he murmured, ignoring this I walked up ahead and headed to the kitchen to go get something to eat before I make my departure into the forest today. I have been thinking what kind of witch am I if I don't even have a familiar?
A fake witch is the answer.
