"I've been awaiting you for some time, Miss Yan. This way, please."
The moment Yan Ruxue stepped out of her carriage, the Shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Tower immediately came forward to greet her with a beaming smile. She then quickly led Yan Ruxue to a rear courtyard of the tower.
The rear courtyard was enclosed by a bamboo fence. Inside, some common fruits and vegetables were growing. In the center stood a bamboo building that looked quite elegant.
"Miss Yan, the Princess is already waiting for you in the bamboo house."
The Shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Tower bowed to Yan Ruxue.
"Thank you for your trouble, Shopkeeper."
Yan Ruxue nodded, then led her maid, Chunyan, into the courtyard and walked toward the bamboo house.
Upon reaching the bamboo house, Chunyan knocked on the door on behalf of her mistress.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from inside the room.
The door opened, and an exceptionally beautiful woman appeared before Chunyan.
