[Two Female Leads] [Mind Reading] [Mysticism] [Lighthearted Comedy] [Light Mystery] [Happy Ending] [Both Leads Are Faithful]
Ruan Qingyan failed to catch a demon and plunged headfirst into the rear courtyard of the Eldest Princess's manor.
The icy dignity she'd maintained for centuries as a sect master shattered completely when she hit the ground.
She got up, dusted herself off, and put her stern expression back on.
"This princess looks awfully frail."
Sheng Jingshao sat beneath the covered walkway, holding a teacup as she watched her.
She heard every word.
From that day on, the Eldest Princess fell ill.
She panted after a few steps and coughed at the slightest breeze. She insisted that the immortal master personally support her, stay close to protect her, and keep watch over her at night.
Ruan Qingyan obediently did as she was told, her face impassive.
In her heart, she cursed that demon, the Heavenly Dao, and every last paving stone in the princess's manor eight hundred times over.
"This princess sure got sick at a convenient time."
"...Why is she leaning on me again?"
"I am absolutely not going soft."
Sheng Jingshao leaned against her shoulder with her eyes closed, missing not a single word.

She was silent for a long time.
"...Am I going through a tribulation, or looking for a cultivation partner?"
