Chapter 313 My Lady Is Our Long Lost Pearl

Xiao An Fei dutifully followed Li Meirong to the bamboo stall at the back of the house, if one could even call it a house. As soon as the tiny, dilapidated bath stall appeared before her eyes, the fox goddess wrinkled her nose at the sight, her face instantly blackening.

This was simply a mockery to the Bai clan’s good and honourable name!

Who exactly was Li Meirong? She was none other than the future ruler of all the Huli Jing combined! And to think that a person of such importance was living under these circumstances... it was simply horrendous!

In the Celestial Bai Palace, the Sovereign Lord’s bathhouse was a pool half as big as this whole island!

Xiao An Fei looked as if she was being choked.

Li Meirong turned around and mistakenly regarded Xiao An Fei’s astonishment to be a look of a favourable impression.

She proudly pointed a thumb at her own chest, her lips stretching into a wide grin. "I built this bathhouse on my own. I’ve even built my cabin! Although, Zhu Qingyue helped me reconstruct some of the walls that broke off..."

"Most impressive, my lady" lied Xiao An Fei as her right eye started twitching. Secretly, the fox goddess wanted to cry.

The Huli Jing’s Sovereign Lady used her precious hands to construct this shoddy excuse for a cabin, this tiny dog house... What was Her Ladyship thinking? Xiao An Fei simply couldn’t fathom.

They went inside the stall and prepared the bath. Li Meirong removed her gown and slid directly into the round tub, sighing in contentment.

After Li Meirong settled in the tub, Xiao An Fei brought a stool from inside the house and sat by her side, gently brushing Her Ladyship’s hair.

Li Meirong sat quietly in the tub, demurely concealing ample breasts as her knees squished them in her huddled position. Her milky shoulders gleamed between inky tresses like beautiful jade, and her long pair of eyelashes held drops of water similar to dewdrops on a dark flower.

Xiao An Fei was rendered spellbound as she helped Li Meirong comb her long hair. She momentarily glanced at her own pair of underdeveloped white hills before directing her attention back to Her Ladyship’s bountiful snow peaks. A sigh of dismay escaped her lips as she compared their figures.

Her Ladyship was definitely ready for childbirth, thought Xiao An Fei. With this type of curvaceous figure, it was no wonder the Sovereign Lord couldn’t keep his paws off his wife!

She stared at Li Meirong and murmured, "I haven’t once noticed how beautiful my lady is."

"There’s no need to lie. I know how my face looks." Li Meirong immediately rejected her words.

The fox goddess, like many of her kind, could easily see through most disguises. Thus, she had clearly noticed Her Ladyship’s facial imperfections for quite a while before the poultice’s effects had worn off.

The scars had marred Li Meirong’s features, simply overshadowing the rest of her beauty.

Interestingly enough, now that the scars were revealed on Her Ladyship’s face, the imperfections seemed to have dimmed. Perhaps because Li Meirong herself had placed less importance on them.

"I wouldn’t lie about such a thing. To all of us, my lady is our long lost pearl." Xiao An Fei sincerely answered. ’Her Ladyship’s existence is a blessing to our celestial fox tribe,’ she thought.

"Then I thank you for your kind words. Do you mean to say that Zhu Qingyue has long been searching for a wife?" Li Meirong politely inquired. She dove deeper into the water in a flustered manner, asking a question as she tried to make sense of the little maid’s declaration.
