Chapter 98: Little Miss, You’re Truly Poisonous

At night, Lan Yixuan was putting Ah Bao to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Ah Bao sat up, looking at the space between Lan Yixuan’s eyebrows with her little hands.

She lightly touched it, and a thread of spiritual energy entered Lan Yixuan’s body.

[Sister Lan’s noble fate has been drained by someone, tsk tsk tsk]

[Little Miss, You’re Truly Poisonous]

[A perfectly good lucky koi has turned into a little disaster star because of you]

Lan Jinjing has the support of the heroine.

Poor Seventh Sister-in-law could never be a match for the heroine.

“Big sister, don’t worry,” Ah Bao murmured softly. With her around, she couldn’t let the future Seventh Sister-in-law suffer at the hands of the little heroine.

Outside, the sound of barking dogs could be heard.

Ah Bao climbed down from the soft couch and quietly went outside.

At the dog hole, she saw a face peeking out from the other side.

“Sister, how is it?”

Ah Bao lay on the ground, patting herself. “It… it’s done.”

Di Zian’s eyes lit up. In such a short time, her sister had already saved Lan Yixuan?

That was amazing.

“Big brother, hug,” Ah Bao said, crawling out of the dog hole and standing in front of Di Zian.

Di Zian picked her up. “Sister, you’re amazing. We can go back to the palace now, haha.”

“Big brother, big sister… hurts.” Ah Bao said urgently.

[I just infused spiritual energy into Lan Yixuan’s body. To restore her luck, a rare celestial event like the Nine Stars Aligned is needed.]

[Changing her luck will cause Lan Yixuan pain.]

[It’s like peeling skin and extracting the soul.]

Di Zian was horrified.

So, Ah Bao had only completed the first step of restoring her luck?

“Sister, how can we restore Lan Yixuan’s luck?” Di Zian asked.

Ah Bao pointed to the sky. “Nine… stars.”

Di Zian cleared his throat. “I’ve heard of a celestial event called the Nine Stars Aligned. You’re not saying that this event is needed to restore her luck, are you?”

Ah Bao nodded vigorously. “Big brother, you’re smart.”

[Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.]

Although Ah Bao’s speech was not very smooth, her brother was clever and understood immediately.

Ah Bao had no idea that her Seventh Brother was guessing based on her thoughts.

“Oh no, this is really bad. I remember the last time the Nine Stars Aligned was ten years ago.”

[Yes, it was ten years ago, the year the little heroine was born.]

Di Zian had never seen the little heroine Ah Bao talked about.

When Ah Bao had met Di Hongluan before, Di Zian wasn’t present.

As a result, Di Zian still didn’t know that the so-called heroine was his uncle’s daughter.

Ah Bao took a small biscuit from her pocket and took a bite.

Di Zian carried a small milk bottle on his back, and they huddled in a corner. He handed the bottle to Ah Bao. “Sister, have some milk.”

She must be hungry.

Fortunately, he was smart and had prepared milk in advance.

Ah Bao drank several large sips, then took a bite of the biscuit, which was bigger than her little hand. She patted herself and said, “Big brother, stars.”

[It’s just the Nine Stars Aligned. No big deal.]

[Not just Nine Stars Aligned, I could even make eighteen stars align if I wanted to, hehe.]

Di Zian’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Sister can make the Nine Stars Aligned happen?”

Ah Bao nodded. “Yes!”

If it weren’t for a cold wind blowing, making Di Zian instantly sober, he would have been shocked into a faint.

His sister could control celestial events?

“This… this…”

“Big brother, go!” Ah Bao pointed towards the tallest building in the capital.

The top of that grand hall had a luminous pearl as large as a plate.

The Star Observatory.

It was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Astronomers.

It was where various imperial astrologers researched celestial events.

Di Zian was very nervous. “Sister, do you want to go to the Star Observatory?”

Ah Bao grinned and nodded. “Mm-hmm.”

Di Zian felt awkward. He couldn’t go to the Star Observatory.

Only the emperor or highly esteemed astrologers could enter.

As a prince, he couldn’t just go in.

There was one other person who could, and that was Taoist Baiyun, who had special permission from the Emperor.

“Ah Bao, how about I take you to find Taoist Baiyun? He might be able to take us to the Star Observatory.”

[Find Old Bai, find Old Bai, yay!]

Ah Bao’s eyes sparkled. “Okay~”

Di Zian was surprised. Did his sister also know Taoist Baiyun?

Di Zian went to Heibai Mountain that night and met Taoist Baiyun, who was studying an old book.

Taoist Baiyun was initially too busy but was excited when he heard someone from the palace had arrived. When he went out, he saw Ah Bao.

Taoist Baiyun was thrilled inside but couldn’t show it.

He couldn’t let the Seventh Prince see any signs of his excitement.

This was a secret between him and the eldest.

“Seventh Prince, what brings you here so late?”

“Taoist Baiyun, can you take me to the Star Observatory?” Di Zian asked directly. Time was of the essence, and he needed to act quickly.

Taoist Baiyun hesitated but then saw Ah Bao’s smiling eyes.

“…To the Star Observatory…” Ah Bao pointed at the Star Observatory. “To the Star Observatory.”

“Of course,” Taoist Baiyun agreed readily.

No joke.

The eldest had spoken.

How could he refuse?

Di Zian was stunned. Taoist Baiyun, who had just appeared troubled, quickly agreed. Was it because of his sister’s request?

Even the Emperor had to show Taoist Baiyun some respect, but Ah Bao could command him with just a word. Truly his sister.

“Since Seventh Prince and the Tenth Princess want to go, let’s go. Follow me.” Taoist Baiyun led the way.

Di Zian followed behind with Ah Bao.

Taoist Baiyun turned around and asked, “Your Highness, are you tired? Should I carry the Tenth Princess?”

Di Zian, being perceptive, noticed that Taoist Baiyun clearly wanted to hold his sister.

He should just say it outright.

“I’m not tired at all,” Di Zian said, pretending not to understand.

Taoist Baiyun was heartbroken, seeing the eldest and yet not getting to hold her.

“It’s Taoist Baiyun,” the guard said, recognizing him and letting them pass.

Taoist Baiyun led the way, with Di Zian carrying Ah Bao following behind.

It was late at night, and Ah Bao’s eyes were spinning with excitement. It was her first time at the Star Observatory.

[I didn’t expect this place to be so beautiful.]

Taoist Baiyun had no idea what the eldest and the Seventh Prince were here for. Since the eldest hadn’t said anything, he didn’t dare to ask.

He silently led the Seventh Prince and the eldest to the main hall.

“Taoist Baiyun, I heard that a celestial deity is enshrined here in the Star Observatory, is that correct?” Di Zian, who had never been here before, felt the place was sacred and solemn.

He couldn’t act unruly here, and his expression became serious.

“Yes.”

Di Zian asked curiously, “Is it the God of Stars?”
