That was just the old lady’s wishful thinking, which was why she kept asking for eyes to save herself.

Gu Bailu could now only create an illusion for the old lady so that she would give up.

“Heavenly Eye? You can open the Heavenly Eye?” the old lady asked in shock.

“Of course I can.” Gu Bailu closed her eyes and pressed against the old lady’s forehead, and a white light covered the old lady’s body as she fell into a green meadow with peach blossoms flying around her.

“What is this place?” asked the old lady. Inside the Heavenly Eye, she could see green grass and red peach blossoms.

She cried out in delight, “I can see now! I can see!”

“This is the world of the Heavenly Eye, where you use your mind to see things. Of course you can see. Look over there!”

Gu Bailu walked to her side and pointed up ahead. “That’s your fate if you gouge out my disciple’s eyes. See your pain? Her eyes are useless to you.”

An image suddenly appeared in front of them. The old lady saw herself covering her eyes and shouting in pain. “No! Why isn’t it working again? Why?”

The old lady sat on the ground in disappointment. “How can that be? I’ve waited so many years for her. How can she not be the right person?”

“What do you mean?”

“That girl has Dragon Spirit Blood. She’s a descendant of the dragons. A princess is born among the dragons every one thousand years. The dragon princess’s body can cure anything. Her eyes can cure me!” the old lady mumbled. She didn’t want to believe that after waiting so long, it was still for nothing.

Gu Bailu was astonished. She didn’t know that Qian’er had such an important background.

A descendant of the dragons?

Gu Bailu remembered that it had taken Gu Yunjing three days to kill an immature dragon, and he was heavily wounded in the process.

Dragons were very strong.

But how did Qian’er end up in the crown prince’s residence as a maid?

“You’ve seen for yourself, there is no way for you to gain sight. However, I have a way for you to see the world without eyes.” Gu Bailu helped her back to her feet. “You can open your third eye, the Heavenly Eye.”

Dazed, the old lady looked at Gu Bailu, and it was as if there was a light in her empty eye sockets. “Can I really grow another eye?”

“Yes. You can see the things here, can’t you?”

“Then how can I open my Heavenly Eye, like you?” The old lady grabbed her hand in excitement.

“Cure my disciple first, then we’ll talk.” Gu Bailu closed the Heavenly Eye and looked at the old lady.

The old lady’s world turned dark once more. Terrified, she said, “Let me in. I can’t see anything now. I want to see more.”

“Save my disciple.” Gu Bailu didn’t have time for her nonsense.

The old lady went over and examined Qian’er. “There’s still hope for the baby, but this girl has lost the will to survive, which might affect the baby.”

“Mo Qian’er, I command you to live!” Lu Fenying bellowed. “If you die, I’ll immediately kill this woman.”

Gu Bailu frowned. This man was really bad at talking. He clearly wanted Qian’er to survive, so couldn’t he say something nice?

Gu Bailu looked at Lu Fenying, only to see that he was pale himself and shaking as he held Qian’er in his arms. He wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
