How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 502: How Do You Know It’s Her?

Just as she was thinking, she touched the butterfly with her hand, and a tingling pain spread through her fingers.

The smile on her face deepened. She had not felt pain for a long time because of the poison always in her body from studying Gu Worms.

And this little butterfly managed to sting her.

"Very good, young lady, what’s your name?"

She hadn’t asked for names before because those who couldn’t pass the test weren’t worthy of her knowing their names.

Shu’er rolled her eyes and said, "My name is Zishan."

Xinyue nodded with a smile, "Very good, that name. Zishan, from now on, you’re my apprentice."

After saying that, Xinyue turned her gaze to Lin Shiyao, who quickly said, "My name is Yaoyao."

As soon as those words came out, Shu’er was one hundred percent sure of Lin Shiyao’s identity.

Xinyue frowned, "I didn’t ask for your name."

After saying that, she blew a long flute, and soon, the area was surrounded by dense poisonous insects.

They emerged from every corner of the dark room, swarming to Lin Shiyao’s feet.

Lin Shiyao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, her face somewhat pale.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Xinyue said, "I only keep my apprentice. Others don’t deserve to know these things."

After saying that, she urged the poisonous insects with the flute.

Shu’er thought, using poisonous insects this way to help do her bidding is quite impressive.

This mentor who came to her doorstep is not bad at all.

Lin Shiyao knew she was in danger and immediately thought of the jade pendant in space when she planned to hide there.

This Xinyue had a very good relationship with the former Holy Daughter, Wuyue.

Even though she got the jade pendant by killing Wuyue, no one knew about it.

"Aunt, wait, I have Aunt Wuyue’s token."

As soon as she said that, Xinyue’s body stiffened, and her hand holding the flute trembled slightly.

Then she said, "Show me."

After saying that, she blew another note on the flute, and the insects parted, creating a path for Lin Shiyao to step through.

When Lin Shiyao handed the jade pendant to Xinyue, she saw that Xinyue’s eyes turned red.

Xinyue blew the flute again, and the insects dispersed.

Xinyue looked up at Lin Shiyao, "You showed me this jade pendant, what do you want?"

Lin Shiyao said, "Aunt Xinyue, actually, it was Aunt Wuyue who asked me to come and apprentice under you."

While saying this, her eyes were glued to the jade pendant, afraid Xinyue might take it.

Luckily, despite Xinyue’s ruthlessness, she had her principles.

She handed the jade pendant back to Lin Shiyao and said, "Alright, I agree."

Lin Shiyao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her gaze to Zishan, full of ridicule.

With such a relationship, Zishan wouldn’t learn much from Xinyue.

Despite wanting to expose Lin Shiyao for killing Wuyue, Shu’er had no evidence and might get herself killed by Xinyue and Lin Shiyao instead.

Forget it, she thought, as she accepted this as just another dedicated mentor, sure she could learn some skills.

Xinyue said, "Alright, you can leave now. Come back here at six tomorrow morning."

Shu’er nodded, following Lin Shiyao out.

Lin Shiyao smiled at Shu’er, "Sister Zishan, we’ll be fellow apprentices from now on, so let’s take care of each other."

Her tone was gentle, and if Shu’er hadn’t been wearing night vision contact lenses earlier, she might have thought Lin Shiyao was a gentle girl.

Of course, when it came to acting skills, Shu’er was no slouch.

She smiled and nodded to Lin Shiyao, "Alright, junior sister, let’s get along well."

Chatting and laughing, they reached the entrance of the small dark room, where Shu’er immediately noticed Tang Zan standing.

She waved at him.

Tang Zan visibly relaxed and walked over to Shu’er, immediately holding her hand.

"Why did it take you so long to come out, exactly two hours."

Shu’er laughed and said, "I ran into some issues in there, you know, it’s quite scary, and there are even snakes flying towards you."

Upon hearing Shu’er’s words, Lin Shiyao’s lips curled into a sneer, inwardly cursing her as a fool.

She waved to Shu’er, "Well then, senior sister, I’ll take my leave."

Shu’er responded warmly, "Goodbye."

Once Lin Shiyao left, the smile on Shu’er’s face faded.

Tang Zan said, "What’s Lin Shiyao doing here? Should we apprehend her now?"

Shu’er raised an eyebrow; she wasn’t surprised by Lin Shiyao because she could roughly guess her role based on the original plot.

But Tang Zan?

Tang Zan said, "She has a faint fragrance on her, but it makes people dizzy."

Shu’er was taken aback, raising an eyebrow at Tang Zan, her face darkening.

"How do you know so clearly? Generally speaking, a woman’s fragrance can only be smelled when you’re close."

Tang Zan coughed, "Look, there are still riddles over there unsolved, with prizes, a men’s jade hairpin of all things, let’s go, help me win it."

After saying that, he pulled Shu’er forward.

Shu’er resisted, refusing to move from where she stood.

Tang Zan looked at her, feeling helpless.

"I didn’t tell you for a reason, so don’t be too worried."

Shu’er said, "Go on then."

Tang Zan said, "Actually, back in the barracks, Lin Shiyao was always trying to flirt with me. I didn’t respond, but inevitably I caught a whiff of her scent."

Shu’er snorted coldly, "Tang Zan, you kept this from me."

Tang Zan frowned, "So why don’t you talk about your past with the Third Prince?"

Shu’er said, "I forgot, or do you want me to remember?"

Seeing Shu’er’s expression didn’t seem fake, yet Tang Zan still felt blocked inside.

Watching Tang Zan feel frustrated, Shu’er smirked and walked ahead, heading to solve the riddles.

Wherever Shu’er went, the unsolved riddles were swiftly answered.

And those waiting for the riddle solutions joyfully left.

While wandering, Shu’er and Tang Zan spotted Liu Xu and Zhao Yu walking side by side.

Shu’er sighed, "What a perfect couple; I wonder what Father-in-law would think if he knew."

Tang Zan had been in a bad mood, but he couldn’t help but laugh at that.

"He’d probably regret it immensely."

Thinking of this, Tang Zan sighed again.

"Actually, among Father’s wives and concubines, mother is the least favored. She has a gentle nature, usually doesn’t compete, so she’s often overlooked by Father, unlike the concubines who vie for affection."

"But she’s the one who loves Father the most. She’s never schemed for anything of his."
