...
Holy Palace, Rose Garden.
Little Shisan and Jiujiu were digging a hole, while Sally, in her beast body, lay lazily atop a rockery in the garden, squinting in the sun.
Yet, what she was thinking about was the sky-worshipping ceremony Bai Ye had mentioned to her.
In her understanding, such ceremonies usually involved offering sacrificial animals to the gods in hopes of blessings. Little Shisi and Little Shiwu seemed to be appointed as Guardian Beasts when they grew up...
Frans, holding Little Miqi, looked around and didn't see Sally. He asked Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, where is your mother?"
"Mom's on top of the rockery." Jiujiu pointed.
Frans looked in the direction he pointed.
Sally also turned her gaze toward him... As soon as she saw his face, she suddenly bristled all over, staring at the red teardrop mole at the corner of his eye!
"What's with this teardrop mole?" Qing Linghuan had told her to be wary of a person with a red mole under the left eye.
