Waiting Silently on the Beam on the Roof. Hong Zhuang Appears.

　　The moonlight outside shone into the cold room. A palace-maid and a girl dressed in red came in. The palace-maids paced her steps to match the other girl's steps behind her, creating a strong contrast between them. The girl in red looked at the duck meal on the table that was perfect then sniffed the osmanthus wine, confirmed it with an "uhm", and then faintly said: "Not bad."

　　They didn't find anything else.

　　I then let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately I didn't have to unleash my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Gropes.

　　I was hiding on the horizontal beams on the roof right now. They don't do sloppy jobs or use poor quality materials for building rooms in the palace that's for sure. While this room is small, thick horizontal beams were used. You could fit an ordinary person on top. I'm just a little tall and my shoulders are a little broad. I don't fit the requirements of a player, no…… In short, it was a little squishy for me hiding up on the horizontal beam. If there wasn't just a faint light from the candle in the room, nothing would be visible from here. I had nothing on me that could reflect light. It's time for my Eighteen Subduing Dragon Gropes to make its return to the human realm.

　　At present, I'll be safe as long as they don't look up.

　　The girl in red said: "This duck must be placed like this. Only you would come up with this idea. Although this is an improvised idea, I do agree that it's a good method."

　　That's when I noticed that there was a wooden barrel placed to the side of the table and it looked like steam was coming from it. There's no ventilation in this room but it has no way of maintaining heat either. The wooden barrel therefore became the secret to maintaining the warm temperature.

　　The wooden barrel was filled with hot water which maintained the room temperature.

　　The girl in red went up to the wooden barrel and removed the lid, letting the heat gush forth. She tested the water temperature with her hand as though she was thinking about something.

　　That's when I finally had the chance to see her face clearly.

　　The girl in red looked really young which was similar to her voice. She looked around seventeen or eighteen.

　　The girl in red possessed long black hair like lacquer-ware that began to part onto two sides and re-collected at her back like a collection of clouds. On her alluring snow-white forehead was a bright-red plum-blossom leaf mark which was very visible. It was a beautiful and mesmerising faint plum blossom petal makeup design.

　　She had a radiant and clear face. Her eyebrows were like mountains in the distance while her nose was tall and straight, naturally giving her a heroic and dignified appearance. While heroic and straight-forward, she wasn't the exact same as Boss Shen. Boss Shen's heroic aura was more from her way of being decisive and strong personality, so it derived from within her.

　　Comparing looks alone, Boss Shen's face is a small goose-shaped face, but nonetheless beautiful. So as soon as she changes the way she speaks, you immediately see her as a beautiful and cute young girl.

　　This girl in red however, had a handsome melon-shaped face. She had upright eyebrows and you could sense her hidden heroic aura just by seeing her and not having to hear her speak too.
