220: Open the door, sister-in-law, it's my brother!

The next second, Little Divine Consciousness's eyes lit up.

She popped the divine medicine into her mouth, and as it slowly dissolved, the taste was as sweet as wild honey.

However, Little Divine Consciousness felt her limbs growing incredibly weak.

"Ying ying ying~"

"The medicine's potency is so strong, Yaya's legs have gone soft."

"Help me, Your Excellency, help me~" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Unfortunately, Divine Consciousness waited and waited, until the Golden Forest Grass had melted into water in her mouth.

She didn't know whether to keep it in her mouth or spit it out.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of beach heat, but there was no sign of Olexia anywhere.

Divine Consciousness grew increasingly anxious.

She widened her eyes and looked around, hoping to spot Olexia in some corner.

【No way, are you really not planning to save me?】

【We are one and the same!】

"Abominable, some god who values wealth over 'consciousness', isn't it just calling you sister a few times, is there a need to be so petty?"

Divine Consciousness thought indignantly.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she suddenly felt a surge of divine power.

She saw Shang Wan Ning standing before her, a faint, mischievous smile hanging on her lips.

Little Divine Consciousness looked at Shang Wan Ning pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.

But Shang Wan Ning only exchanged a brief glance with her before smiling lightly.

Then, she extended a slender finger and poked Little Divine Consciousness's small mouth.

The corners of Her Majesty the Empress's lips curled up, "Hmm~ what's the rush? You'll only be soft for a few more seconds at most."

"Since I am here, do you think I would just watch you get burst by the potency of the Golden Forest Grass?"

"You really have a three-inch tall stature to match your three-inch large guts!" Shang Wan Ning seemed quite disdainful of Little Divine Consciousness's boldness.

"Wu~ ying~"

Little Divine Consciousness's breath hitched, clearly embarrassed by her words.

After coming to her senses, Divine Consciousness blushed deeply, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.

Finally, like a grey rabbit, she hopped onto Shang Wan Ning's left shoulder and rubbed her tiny head against Shang Wan Ning's side neck.

While rubbing, she secretly observed Shang Wan Ning's reaction; seeing she wasn't the least bit displeased, her courage gradually grew.

She began to circle around Shang Wan Ning's hair, playing happily.

Seeing this, Shang Wan Ning found it quite amusing and, with great interest, gave her left shoulder a shake.

This shake gave Divine Consciousness a fright.

Unsteady, she made a "plop" sound as she sat right down on Shang Wan Ning's left shoulder.

A faint hiss was heard; Divine Consciousness seemed to be in some pain.

But she didn't turn into a 'ying ying monster', instead acting like nothing happened, continuing to enjoy Her Majesty the Empress's body warmth.

It was unknown if it was because the medicinal power inside her was repairing the foundational damage caused by previous divisions of her consciousness.

She only felt warm in her belly, and her whole body became increasingly comfortable.

She stretched her small body comfortably, like a puddle of mud, collapsing onto Shang Wan Ning's neck.

Mumbling softly: "Hmm! Hmm~~~ So comfortable!"

Shang Wan Ning couldn't help but chuckle, pulled Divine Consciousness from her neck, and tossed her onto the beach. "Off you go, an authentic version of a Divine Consciousness sandbag."

"My life is over!"

"I don't want to stick my head in the sand." Divine Consciousness closed her eyes in despair, but just before closing them, she caught a glimpse of a familiar white figure.

She was stunned and quickly opened her eyes to look. "Goddess, you're so kind, coming back to pick up Ya..."

Before she could finish the word "Ya", Olexia, fearing that Shang Wan Ning would catch up and continue skinning her, vanished in a flash.

Shang Wan Ning was stunned, "Am I that scary?"

"Boring!"

Sister Meng is still the best; her eyes and tone are always so gentle they could make one weep.

Shang Wan Ning thought this, letting out a muffled sigh.

She raised a hand and waved it casually at the void.

The seemingly calm air appeared to be torn apart, instantly revealing a pitch-black crack.

Shang Wan Ning stepped into the crack without hesitation, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, she appeared at the entrance of Meng Pos Shop.

Straightening her posture, she smiled and politely knocked on the slightly rustic wooden door.

At the same time, she called out softly: "Is Sister Meng here? I have come to find you."

Inside the shop, Lin Ran, like an agile fish, slipped out of Meng Jiang's embrace in a flash.

The movement was so fast that it caught everyone off guard.

She quickly turned her head, her gaze fixed on the tightly closed wooden door, murmuring nervously: "Is... is it Her Majesty the Empress?"

Lin Ran secretly complained in her heart.

【Damn it, why would A Ning suddenly come knocking at this time.】

At the same time, Meng Jiang's heart also skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.

【Could it be that A Ning skipped work?】

She hurriedly stood up from her seat, flusteredly smoothing out the hair hanging on both sides and her somewhat disheveled collar.

With a "creak".

The door slowly opened, and Meng Jiang squeezed out a smile, looking at Shang Wan Ning standing at the door, asking puzzledly: "A Ning, why did you come?"

"Aren't there still many government affairs that need to be handled today?"

Shang Wan Ning's eyes flickered, and she replied vaguely: "Um... um... I have handed them all to You Yu to handle."

After saying this, she turned and gently closed the wooden door.

Looking up, her gaze happened to meet Lin Ran's somewhat guilty look.

"Boom", a dazzling green light flashed.

Caught red-handed during work hours, Lin Ran blushed to the ears, her earlobes and neck burning red.

She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Meanwhile, Shang Wan Ning felt a mix of emotions in her heart. She actually really wanted to cry. But she couldn't show it in this situation.

She could only hold back her tears, feeling secretly aggrieved in her heart.

(Screaming) (Twisting) (Crawling in the darkness) ... (Wriggling in the darkness) (Rolling) (Crawling violently) (Convulsing) (Roaring) (Wriggling) ...

"Green, such a large pasture of green grass..." Shang Wan Ning muttered silently in her heart.

【This is the gentle Sister Meng...】

【Couldn't you just hold it in? After work, then...】

However, being caught on the spot is always so cruel, and the atmosphere was already awkward to the extreme.

Meng Jiang didn't give Shang Wan Ning a chance to ask questions at all.

She frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "This servant and little Lin Ran brewed three vats of meng pos soup together. With the ghost official on duty at the Bridge of Helplessness, there is no need to worry."

After hearing this, although the jealousy in Shang Wan Ning's heart faded slightly, she still felt a bit awkward.

She coughed twice to make her voice sound calmer: "I see, Sister Meng and Assistant Lin have worked hard."

Lin Ran kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look directly into Shang Wan Ning's eyes.

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's: "Your Majesty, it was Subordinate who pestered Lady Meng Jiang to keep me company."

"Because I used the Resentful Puppet too much, I~ I lost control a little..."
