"Chen Xi, this is the Mother Goddess's decree."
Thirteenth Aunt reached out, mists stirring. A jade-like hand materialized from the void. Its white, tender palm harbored a deep purple vortex resembling an endless starry sky, wherein a scarlet vertical pupil blinked, filled with an indescribable, eerie power.
Her gentle fingers stroked Chen Xi's hair, as if soothing a child throwing a tantrum.
The Mother Goddess, naturally, was the Goddess of Fertility—the sole supreme deity worshipped by the Royal Court.
"What?"
Chen Xi was taken aback. Was it truly the great Mother Goddess's decree? Had the Mother Goddess already taken notice of Chu Yi?
"Chen Xi, you seem very concerned about him."
Thirteenth Aunt was surprised. As an elder who had watched Chen Xi grow up, serving as both mentor and mother figure, she keenly perceived Chen Xi's emotional reaction.
