Chapter 442 The Witch Butterfly encountered... the Forget-Me-Not Fairy?!

The Holy Maiden has already sent people to Great Chu to capture her, where can she hide?

Besides, why would she hide?

"If you're really worried, how about I dress up as a teenager starting tomorrow?"

Seeing Gu Yuanen's displeased frown, Gu Qingyue quickly added a sentence.

Gu Qingyue's thoughts were exactly the opposite of Gu Yuanen's.

When she heard about the saintess, she was worried for a few moments, but the next moment, she suddenly became excited.

Since the Holy Maiden is so powerful, could she possibly deduce my exact location?

For example, could she figure out which inn she was staying at, and which room she was in?

Haha, Gu Qingyue's idea is too audacious. It's probably only possible if that saintess is a deity.

However… Gu Qingyue rubbed her chin, thinking that she might be able to deduce that she had arrived in Nanzhao, which was quite possible!

Well... if the Holy Maiden really can find her, then she should openly and honestly meet the Holy Maiden, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue became even more excited.

Looking at Gu Qingyue's constantly changing expression, Gu Yuanen wanted to facepalm.

That audacious girl! There's just no way to deal with her!

Just as Gu Yuanen and a group of people began to worry about Gu Qingyue, in the deep darkness of the night, a group of black butterflies slowly rose from somewhere in the city and scattered into the streets of the city.

They seemed to be searching for something, moving from east to west, from south to north, without stopping for a moment.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the black butterflies seem to be surrounded by a faint black mist, swirling around as they stretch out their antennae and look around.

Finally, a few of them flew to the inn where Gu Qingyue and the others were staying. They went from the first floor to the second floor, paused briefly at the door of each room, and then flew away.

The night was still, and Gu Qingyue in the inn had long since fallen into a deep sleep.

Until a gentle breeze brushed her forehead.

Gu Qingyue immediately opened her eyes.

The first thing she did was release her mental energy.

Nobody's here, no sound... Something's not right!

What's outside the door?

She stared intently, and what she saw was the most bizarre scene she had ever witnessed in all these years.

This is the second floor of the inn; their rooms are next to each other.

Her left hand held Gu Yuanen, and her right hand held Jiang Wan.

Further to the left and right are Yue Ling, Xiao Nian, and Feng Shuyan.

But right at her and Gu Yuanen's door, a black butterfly hovered and fluttered, as if waiting for someone, or perhaps searching.

Gu Qingyue stared at this bizarre scene again and again, making sure she wasn't seeing things.

It was indeed a black butterfly, fluttering in the dim light of the night.

Gu Qingyue sat up, tiptoed out of bed, put on her coat, and headed towards the door.

As she passed the round table, she glanced up and saw the Forget-Me-Not in the vase. Smelling its delicate fragrance, Gu Qingyue casually picked one up and headed towards the door.

The door was slowly pulled open a crack, and Gu Qingyue stretched out the flower branch.

She wondered if the butterfly would also like the smell and stay on it.

She'll take a look at it.

However, the moment the flower branch stretched out, the black butterfly, as if it had encountered a ghost, turned around quickly and flew away immediately!

Even the one at Gu Yuanen's door, which was only two or three steps away, flew even faster than this one!

Gu Qingyue: ? ? ?

What a bizarre scene!

Gu Qingyue watched in bewilderment as the two butterflies flew into the sky and disappeared into the night, completely baffled.

In the courtyard where butterflies fluttered in the city, in a side room, a woman in black, whose face had been calm, suddenly had black mist rising from it. With a 'pfft', she spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed softly onto the bed.

"Saint!"

"Saint!"

"Quickly call the witch doctor!" The female guards panicked and shouted loudly.

A few breaths later, an old woman came out from next door, her face covered by a black veil.

She quietly checked the pulse of the woman called the Saintess, then shook her head. "The witchcraft backfired. Wu Die encountered... the Forget-Me-Not Fairy?!"

The female guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

This is the second time in the past five years that we have encountered this situation.

The black butterflies are the saintess's sacred objects, also known as witch butterflies. When they are used to cast spells, they are imbued with the saintess's spiritual power. Once they encounter the Forget-Me-Not Fairy, the spells will be broken!

The backlash... the Holy Maiden will have to sleep for at least seven days.

Gu Qingyue, who continued to sleep, was unaware that her impulsive act of teasing the black butterfly with a flower branch had inadvertently saved her life.

Of course, she had to thank the little boy who sold the Forget-Me-Not Elixir, who happened to sell it to her.

Nothing more to say all night.

The group continued their journey early the next morning.

Upon arriving at a secluded spot outside the city, everyone disguised themselves and changed their clothes.

Gu Qingyue has transformed back into a handsome young man.

Gu Yuanen and Jiang Wan changed their clothes and became guards and maids.

Their attire was vastly different from when they entered Sanchun City; even the curtains and exterior decorations of the carriage were different.

And a secluded courtyard outside Sanchun City.

"Princess, we can't find them. We finally found the inn where they stayed, but the innkeeper said that the group checked out and left at dawn."

A servant knelt before Princess Lianye, looking somewhat uneasy.

"How is that possible? Could that woman have flown so fast? Didn't you check the four city gates? Where did they go?"

The maid named Mei couldn't help but shout.

Princess Lianye slammed her hand on the table, now truly enraged. "Drag her away and slap her!"

Mei'er was originally a maidservant in her father's service. Later, she served her mother. When her mother passed away, she asked Mei'er to take good care of the elderly people left behind, so she took Mei'er in as a second-class maidservant.

Unexpectedly, she became even more unrestrained.

The thought that the woman had disappeared without a trace, all because of this reckless maid, made him grit his teeth in hatred.

If she hadn't provoked the conflict, things wouldn't have gotten so tense later, and she might already know the woman's identity!

As a princess, she would certainly not admit that she was the one who arrogantly snatched the flowers from Gu Qingyue's hands first.

After Mei'er was dragged away, another girl named Yan'er whispered, "Princess, do you think we should send someone to search in all four directions?"

Princess Lianye thought for a moment and decided that it was alright; she could find out the woman's identity later if the opportunity arose, and the woman might not even be related to the person she had met when she was a child.

Never mind, business is important.

"Send more people to find the Holy Maiden. I want her to perform a ritual to make Father King reconsider his idea of ​​marrying that princess of Great Chu! Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Yan'er lowered her head and stopped talking.

Ten days later, Gu Qingyue and her group arrived in the heart of Nanzhao.

In about ten days, we should be able to reach the vicinity of the capital.

Gu Qingyue rode her horse alongside Gu Yuanen, walking slowly as she pondered their journey.

Overall, the development of Nanzhao was definitely not as good as that of the Great Chu.
