Seeing her struggling so much, Chen Guan took an elixir he'd bought from an alchemist, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it on her face.
Chen Guan had used this elixir himself before; it worked wonders for healing wounds, providing a cool sensation that eased pain and quickly soothed the itch of scabbing.
Sure enough, once the powder was applied, Fujimura Reiko immediately felt as if she was liberated and let out a long breath of relief.
"Thank you," Fujimura Reiko said sincerely to Chen Guan.
"Once your face is healed, would you consider working with me?" Chen Guan proposed as he looked at Fujimura Reiko.
The reason for his keen interest in Fujimura Reiko wasn't just to compensate her for taking half of her inner core; there was another motive.
Besides her identity as the military flower, Fujimura Reiko had another identity.
Her maternal grandfather, Lian Sanshan, was a key figure in the Celestial Court Army.
