She Asks About Jun Lionhead

"No need." Grace replied. "Thank you for your kindness, Princess."

Bianca Whiteshire looked at her and suddenly laughed, saying, "Just look at you now! You look like a drowned dog! Seeing you makes me want to stomp on you!"

Grace looked at her. "Really? Then why don't you try?"

"What? Don't tell me you think I wouldn't dare touch you?" Bianca Whiteshire raised an eyebrow. "Amber, slap her! Keep going until she begs for mercy on her knees!"

Amber stepped forward, ready to slap Grace across the face.

She was at the peak of Spiritualist cultivation.

Earlier, in order to go to Blue Moon Kingdom and avoid drawing attention, she had suppressed her cultivation.

Now that her cultivation was restored, she was certain that Grace was no match for her.

She was just about to humiliate her, to settle the score from before.

But before her hand could land, she was suddenly struck hard in the stomach.

She was sent flying, and as luck would have it, landed right on top of Coco.

But Coco was just an ordinary dog, not a spiritual beast.

Coco yelped and jumped to the side—straight onto Bianca Whiteshire's face.

Bianca Whiteshire shrieked and slapped hard, making poor Coco yelp in pain and die instantly.

"Coco!" Bianca Whiteshire shouted in a fury, then glared hatefully at Grace. "Guards! Grace attacked me and hurt this princess. Arrest her and throw her in the Palace Dungeon!"

Grace frowned.

Looks like things really can't end peacefully today!

"Sister." Suddenly, Shannon's voice came from outside.

Bianca Whiteshire shot her a sideways glance. "What are you doing here?"

"Sister, do you know that Grace is the only one who can cure the poison afflicting the Saint Maiden?" Shannon said.

Bianca Whiteshire frowned. "Is that true?"

"If you don't believe me, go ahead and try to lay a hand on her," Shannon said. "Let's see... how things turn out in Drake Abyss."

Bianca Whiteshire's expression changed.

"Sister, since Grace is already at the palace and I'm feeling a bit unwell, I'd like her to take a look at me. You don't mind, do you?" Shannon asked.

Bianca Whiteshire took a deep breath. "Fine! Take her with you! She's just a Spiritual Alchemist, what's the big deal?"

"Then we'll take our leave!" Shannon shot Grace a look and led her away.

Once outside, Grace said gratefully, "Thank you, Shannon, for coming to my rescue."

Shannon shook her head, concern all over her face. "How have you been lately?"

"Pretty good," Grace replied.

Shannon took her hand. "Don't lie to me! I know you must be feeling awful."

"I'm really not that upset. Honestly, I'm doing fine."

"Come on, let's go to my place." Shannon took her to her palace.

They hadn't seen each other for a while, so they caught up and chatted about all sorts of things.

Then Shannon gave her a Messenger Charm, saying she could contact her anytime if she needed anything.

Finally, she asked about Jun Lionhead.

"How's your master doing?"

"Master is staying in Vermilion Kingdom for now," Grace said. "He said he might come here too."

Shannon bit her lip and stayed silent.

"Shannon, what you really want to ask is when he'll come to propose to you, right?" Grace teased.

"No way!" Shannon shot back instantly. "Don't talk nonsense!"

"My master keeps everything to himself," Grace said. "But once he marries you, he'll treat you very well."

"You know him that well?"

"Of course! He's my master, isn't he?" Grace replied matter-of-factly.

Shannon said nothing.
