The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 144 Meeting the Queen
After Huo Sen left, a female staff member brought the dress.

Lin Nan was stunned when he unfolded the clothes - was this too grand?
The pure green, hip-hugging dress shimmered like pearls under the light, and the vivid vine patterns on the hem seemed to come alive as the fabric swayed. The light silk fabric slid coolly across my fingertips, and even more incredible...

"This size..." She turned around in front of the mirror. The skirt hugged her waistline perfectly, and even the curve of her chest was just right. A white camellia brooch at the neckline perfectly captured all the visual focus.

The female official gave her a meaningful look. "This is a dress specially provided by the royal family. It's made of the same grade of moonlight silk as the Queen's. Your Excellency, please sit down and let me put on your makeup."

"Do I have to dress so formally to meet the Queen?" Lin Nan was a little puzzled.

"The Queen always pays attention to these details, not to mention wait a minute..." The female official seemed to realize that she had said too much, and quickly shut her mouth, and began to do Lin Nan's hair and put on makeup with nimble hands and feet.

Ever since Lin Nan traveled to this world, she had either been wearing the guide uniform issued by the academy or combat uniform. It seemed like she hadn't worn any other type of clothes for a long time.

But she seemed to have no conditions. The fabrics in this world were surprisingly expensive. Due to the backward productivity, those soft and smooth high-quality fabrics were almost monopolized by the nobles. Ordinary people could only wear crudely made linen clothes, and even dyeing them was a luxury.

After the female official finished applying the last stroke of lip balm to Lin Nan, she took two steps back with satisfaction and let the full-length mirror out.

Lin Nan stared blankly at himself in the mirror, feeling as if he was in another world.

It had been a long time since she had looked at herself so carefully.

Ever since she traveled to this world, this skin that was 70% similar to her original appearance but different in every way always made her subconsciously avoid looking in the mirror.

But whether it was because his soul was becoming more and more integrated with this body, or for some other reason, Lin Nan found that his face was gradually becoming closer to the appearance of his previous life - like a painting stained with water, slowly revealing its original outline.

She gently stroked her cheek, her fingertips feeling the subtle changes in her bones. Her jawline, which had been slightly rounded, became more defined, and the curve of her eyes became closer to what she remembered.

The original owner's aura is slowly being erased——

She suddenly realized it.
-
Accompanied by a maid, Lin Nan boarded the private elevator to the top floor of the Central White Tower.

As soon as the elevator door closed, the entire elevator car began to climb at an astonishing speed. Lin Nan looked at the gradually shrinking cityscape outside the transparent outer wall, and the skyscrapers soon became chess pieces on a chessboard.

A tower with more than 200 floors stands tall in the clouds. The human scenery disappears, and what comes into view is the rolling sea of ​​clouds and the strange rainbow reflected by the sunlight between the clouds.

When the elevator finally stopped, the doors slid open to the sides, and a gust of hot and humid air hit us in the face.

There is a big temperature difference between inside and outside the tower.

Unlike what she had imagined, the queen's palace did not have magnificent decorations such as gilded domes, but was instead a forest of tropical plants.

Giant ferns, which were almost extinct in this era, rose from the ground, with crystal water droplets rolling on their broad leaves, vines entwined around artificial cultivation columns, and tender green tendrils stretching out under the carefully controlled "sunlight".

The damp, warm environment made Lin Nan unconsciously relax. A hummingbird flew past her, its metallic wings reflecting a rainbow-like luster, finally landing on an unknown flower that was slowly opening. From the entrance, a bright red carpet snaked like a blood vessel into the depths of the rainforest.

The material of the carpet is very special. Stepping on it feels like stepping on some kind of living tissue, with a slight elasticity and warmth.

"Sir, we're here," the maid's voice drifted from the front, and her white gloves pointed to the end of the rainforest not far away. An ancient white tree was slowly swaying its branches - forming a queen's throne.

But there was no one on the throne.

"The Queen has been ill recently, so she can only meet Your Excellency in this way." The maid explained, then she stepped forward alone and stood respectfully to the side of the throne.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin Nan is here."

After the waitress finished speaking, her eyes suddenly became dim, and dozens of silver threads suddenly extended from the hem of her white uniform, perfectly connecting with the bright red carpet on the ground.

Lin Nan inexplicably felt the sound of his heart beating.

She was startled and quickly took a few steps back, only then she realized that the carpet under her feet seemed to be a living being.

"Finally, I see you." A gentle voice came from behind the curtain.

As the sound appeared, some silver threads intertwined in the air and gradually condensed into a translucent outline of a woman.

Lin Nan felt dizzy for a moment. She shook her head and tried to concentrate, but the more she wanted to see the figure in front of her, the blurrier it became.

"This is my mirror image. Your body might have some rejection reactions the first time you receive it, but don't worry. Just sit down and rest for a while."

After the soft voice finished speaking, vines were woven into a chair and placed behind Lin Nan. She hesitated for a moment and sat down on it.

"As expected of a plant-type spirit, they like you too."

The queen looked at her and spoke slowly. As soon as she finished speaking, the branches of the vine chair came alive, wrapping around her wrists like snakes. Some had already climbed up to the back of her neck, and sharp little mouths emerged from the thin vines, gently kissing her neck.

Suddenly, Lin Nan felt a dangerous aura rushing towards her like a tidal wave, and every inch of her skin screamed a warning. Those sharp little holes, like countless tiny needles, gently pierced the back of her neck. The cold and sticky touch made her shudder!
The spiritual picture that had just grown was forced to appear in reality almost in an instant. Huge trees stood tall behind Lin Nan, and their intertwined roots were tightly connected to Lin Nan's brain.

The vines hanging from the branches had already made an all-out counterattack posture. They circled around Lin Nan, cautiously staring at the figure behind the curtain.

"You're quite alert." After a while, the queen's gentle voice came again. This time, her voice became three-dimensional and surrounded. Lin Nan discovered that it came from the vines behind him.

Then, a cool and comfortable feeling instantly washed over her whole body, like the unbelievable comfort of a gurgling stream. Before Lin Nan herself realized it, the offensive consciousness in her mind was soothed in an instant.
