The Divine Crimson Pill Can Be Put to Use

Lana Bloom's tone was dripping with jealousy: "I just wonder who else you'll let live in your manor!"

"Look at you, so jealous! In my heart, you'll always be the most important!" said Prince Asher Xiao.

"Is that what you tell all those little sluts in Hundred Blossoms Paradise too?"

How could I? They're nothing compared to you! They're just toys to pass the time—you're my sweet little heart!

"Just don't let me see them!" Lady Hundred Blossoms' expression turned cold. "I never want to see them in my life!"

"Don't worry! They can't leave Hundred Blossoms Paradise! You know that!"

By the way, have you found Lana He yet?

"Not yet. No sign of her, alive or dead."

Did you use the Bloodline Tracking Spell?

We did. Even hired Rune Masters to search with talismans, but still nothing.

"It's so strange..." Lana Bloom sounded worried. "I have a bad feeling about this. I just hope she doesn't cause any trouble."

Prince Asher Xiao said, "Logically, she shouldn't be able to escape. Most likely, she died somewhere."

"I never had the chance to ask—what exactly happened back then?"

"That day, Fourth Highness—the idiot—brought Lucia Lu and her two siblings to the White Pavilion. Lana He noticed they hadn't bothered to hide their identities and that they'd brought a girl, so she figured they were clueless first-timers and tried to pass them a message," said Prince Asher Xiao. "But Marcus Xuanchen caught her, stopped her, beat her up, and locked her away! And when we went to look for her later, she was gone."

"You must find her!" Lana Bloom's tone was chilling. "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one slip away!"

"You don't need to teach me that! Just focus on serving Grandmother—she's very pleased with you."

"Got it!"

"Has Grandmother... said anything to my father lately?"

"Not much," Lana Bloom replied. "Just one day, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager said that both Fourth Highness and Fifth Highness have a thing for that Divine Maiden from the Lu Clan."

Then His Majesty the Celestial Emperor asked the Empress Dowager if she liked her, and the Empress Dowager said she was sensible and very good."

Prince Asher Xiao raised his eyebrows. "That girl really is pretty! And it's not just those two who are interested in her."

"What, don't tell me you're interested in her too?" Lana Bloom shot him a jealous look.

"Of course not!" Prince Asher Xiao pinched her cheek. "That kind of chick isn't my type! I'm talking about the Qilin Divine Lord, Soren Lann!"

"Him?"

"Mm." Prince Asher Xiao said. "Lucia Lu is very likely to become the future Qilin Empress."

"But I think she's interested in Fifth Highness," Lana Bloom said. "She's always helping him."

"Sean... heh!" Prince Asher Xiao's tone suddenly turned vicious. "That bastard, he's dreaming! I'll kill him sooner or later!"

"Don't say things like that in Drake Abyss," Lana Bloom warned. "If His Majesty the Celestial Emperor hears about it, it'll be trouble."

"Got it!"

...

The two continued their lovey-dovey conversation for a while and then left together.

Sean Shaw retrieved the Clarity Charm, holding it between two fingers, lost in thought.

Lucy Luan glanced at him, then at the Clarity Charm, and said, "We just buried Lana He in a random spot. I never thought they'd still be searching for her."

Sean Shaw slowly put away the Clarity Charm and said, "You've been worried about the Hundred Blossoms Paradise case, right? Now we have a breakthrough."

Lucy Luan: "You mean..."

"Lana Bloom will be our breakthrough," Sean Shaw said, a faintly cruel smile on his lips. "Your Divine Crimson Pill is finally going to come in handy."
