The Mirror of Startling Beauty: Her courtiers are everywhere

"cough."

On the other end of the communication jade talisman, Xingyu coughed up from the sudden remark.

A suppressed cough came from the jade talisman, and the slight redness at the tip of his ear instantly spread to his entire handsome face.

He had never been ridden.

As a member of the dragon clan, he fought alone from a young age, his pride unyielding and never bowing down.

With only the long wind and the bright moon on its back, who would dare to have the idea of ​​riding a dragon?

But that was his precious little sister, Pearl.

She just wanted to ride a dragon, that was all. If he couldn't even do that, what kind of brother would he be?

"Can."

Xingyu took a deep breath, her voice regaining its composure, carrying a sense of reckless indulgence.

"Little Pearl can ride however she wants."

"Is my brother also a snow dragon?"

Tang Xixue became even more curious, her tone filled with a longing to see Xingyu in person.

She suddenly realized something.

Why was Xingyu, who was only seven years old and isolated, able to fight his way out of nowhere?

He is a dragon, and those poisoned arrows and treacherous traps cannot kill him.

And when he traversed thorns and endured frost and snow, he came of age.

The thick earth could no longer contain him!

Heaven could no longer suppress him!

"Me?"

Xingyu's voice carried a hint of proud laughter, dignified and self-possessed.

"No. I am the Azure Moon Divine Dragon, not the Snow and Wind Silver Dragon."

His tone was casual, yet it carried a sense of condescension.

"A younger brother is still a younger brother."

As soon as those words were spoken, Fengxue Yinlong Xingmi almost burst into tears again.

He turned his head to look at Tang Xixue with a wronged expression.

His pair of bright, watery dragon eyes were filled with accusation.

"Owner……"

Xingmi's voice suddenly rang in Tang Xixue's mind.

It was a direct telepathic communication with her, without going through the communication jade talisman, so Xingyu on the other end couldn't hear it.

The voice was surprisingly pleasant, a clear and clean boyish voice, slightly hoarse from crying, and filled with a deep sense of grievance.

"Let's ignore him, okay?"

Tang Xixue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and met the pair of wet dragon eyes in her palm.

"it is good."

She put away the communication jade talisman, tapped the little silver dragon's nose with her fingertip, and smiled with eyes full of doting affection.

"Xingmi can't cry anymore."

The little silver dragon nodded obediently and nuzzled its head between her fingers.

She then realized what was happening.

It turns out this little guy could always speak human language.

But he lied to her for so long without saying a word, just to act cute and charming.

What a cunning little pervert!

Tang Xixue poked his dragon scales, feeling both annoyed and amused.

The little silver dragon rolled upside down in her palm, its tail tip curling shyly as if hiding something.

"Little Pearl??"

Xingyu, in the Weaving Moon Sea Kingdom, looked at the communication jade talisman that was no longer lit, and felt somewhat lost.

"It must be that wretched crybaby who's behind this. What an annoying little brother."

Meanwhile, on the medicine bed in the Divine Medicine Valley, Qi Wang watched this scene quietly, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Xingmi, we've finally found your brother."

"very nice."

He silently recited this sentence in his heart.

No matter how difficult life is, there is always one thing that can be resolved perfectly.

Tang Xixue carefully examined the bandages on his body again before telling him the extent of his injuries.

"You should rest here slowly and remember not to move around. You have multiple fractures all over your body, and you need to find a bone-healing herb to make a proper medicine in order to fully recover."

"Otherwise... I'm afraid I won't be able to wield a sword again in the future."

Qi Wang lay on the couch, listening to her finish speaking, word by word.

There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

His voice was flat.

"Yes, I understand. It's a blessing to be alive."

But her eyes betrayed her and turned red.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on the natal sword that had been with him through thick and thin.

The sword lay silently beside the couch, sunlight falling on it and refracting a cold, silvery gleam, as if silently gazing at him.

In that instant, Qi Wang felt like his whole body was about to shatter.

Tang Xixue didn't linger. She placed the prepared medicine packets on the table and asked:

"I have to go attend to my own business. Will you arrange for someone to come and take care of things yourself, or should I call a disciple from Divine Medicine Valley for you?"

Qi Wang withdrew his gaze, suppressed the bitterness in his throat, and spoke solemnly.

"I'll send someone over. Thank you for saving me, Your Highness. Please feel free to ask for my orders in the future."

"Um."

Tang Xixue curved the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"Then I'll have to think about it carefully; I can't let you get away with this so easily."

After saying that, she turned and pushed open the door to leave.

Sunlight streamed in through the crack in the door, casting a soft halo around her clothes.

As Qi Wang watched her departing figure, that slender and straight silhouette gradually overlapped with another image in his mind.

He suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable familiarity rising in his heart.

He then bitterly berated himself.

"This is insane! How could anyone think this little troublemaker resembles the Little Sword Immortal?"

He suppressed that absurd thought and turned his attention to the more pressing matter at hand.

"Let's find someone to come over first; it's not good to keep bothering her."

The thought that Tang Xixue had personally bandaged his wounds layer by layer made him feel as if he were being slowly cooked over a low flame.

"That's my sister-in-law."

"She is Ying Lin's most cherished love."

Although she was a doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded, he still felt a lingering sense of guilt, as if he had cheated on his own brother, and he felt utterly ashamed.

He took a deep breath, stopped thinking, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, summoned his natal Gu.

A beautiful pink orchid mantis landed on his knuckle.

The mantis was no bigger than a fingernail, its entire body a pinkish luster, as if it were carved from the finest hibiscus jade.

Its compound eyes were darting around, and it was tilting its head to look at its owner, looking extremely cute.

"Go, summon my secret guards."

Qi Wang whispered his instructions.

Upon hearing this, the tiny orchid mantis fluttered its thin, gauze-like wings, transformed into a streak of pink light, flew out the window, and vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, in the sky, a cloud chariot was breaking through the thousands of layers of clouds and slowly descending towards the direction of Divine Medicine Valley.

The carriage was draped with starlight, and the phoenix bells swayed in the wind, creating a clear and melodious echo.

Meanwhile, another star-studded cloud chariot appeared on the distant horizon, about to arrive.

On the official road, a carriage from the divine kingdom of the other shore was slowly approaching.

The vehicle was entirely black, with dark gold tassels hanging from its four corners. The wheels rolled over gravel, making a slow, rumbling sound, as it headed towards the gate of the Divine Medicine Valley.

Right now.

The sky above the Valley of Divine Medicine suddenly trembled without warning.

The vibration was deep and powerful, echoing across the heavens, as if someone had struck a mighty bronze bell outside the celestial canopy, the sound piercing straight through the clouds and striking the depths of everyone's heart.

"Thump..."

A beam of light poured down from the sky.

It was a dreamlike, crystal-clear color, shimmering with rainbow halos and countless shimmering lights.

The light was like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens.

Wherever it passed, the clouds seemed to be parted like a curtain by an invisible hand, slowly retreating to both sides to reveal a corner of magnificent scenery that did not belong to this world.

That is the Secret Realm of Glazed Heaven.

"Look... the Crystal Heaven Secret Realm has appeared!"

Someone cried out.

"It's not fully open yet, but judging from the current situation, it will be open in the next day or two."

Another elderly pharmacist with white hair looked up at the sky, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

The outline of the secret realm was faintly visible in the shimmering light of the crystal.

The waterfall and spring hang upside down in the air, the sound of the water gurgling as it flows down through the clouds.

Ancient trees and magnolia blossoms bloom beside the cloud-covered steps, their petals fluttering like snowflakes.

A corner of the palace's eaves peeks out from the swirling mist, its tiles made of glazed glass and its railings of jade.

It's like an old painting left behind by an immortal in the clouds, silent for countless years, finally waiting for its destined owner.

"Only those who pass the first few rounds of the Medicine God Trial are qualified to enter."

"That is the testing ground for top-tier healers! Ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

Someone said in a deep voice.

"Indeed. I've heard that deep within this secret realm lies an ancient garden of immortal herbs..."

"If one could find even a single herb among them, that would be the greatest fortune a healer could ever have in his life."

"I wonder who will be crowned the 'Medicine God' this time?"

The medicine boys, elders, and physicians from all over the Nine Provinces in the valley all looked up at the shimmering, crystal-clear sky.

Yun Boyan stood atop a high cliff, his robes billowing in the wind.

He gazed at the glass door, his eyes reflecting the shimmering light, yet a faint trace of disappointment crossed his face.

He murmured to himself.

"Sister-in-law, look, brother has arrived."

He had originally intended to spend time with her last night.

Pity……

He lowered his eyes, a faint, bitter smile curving his lips.
