The Ice Silkworms diet consists mainly of Yin energy herbs and plants and some small insects. 

On the other hand, the Stone Flamed Leopards prowled the forest floors with it's flaming mane. Though the manes looked dangerous, the temperature of the flames weren't actually that high. In fact, the flames were cold to the touch, almost like touching a stone that had been in the shade, hence their name. It was also a cold element predator and was quite fast, as was expected since they were leopards. Their bodies were a sleek black with some grey spots with varying shades. Their eyes were a steely dark blue color. A single breath of their flamethrower could immobilize a lower realm cultivator temporarily. They specialized in more guerilla-esque tactics. Freezing an opponent or prey and then attacking with their teeth and claws then hiding while picking it's next target. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99s-courtesan-wife_%!d(string=11622167006444805)/returning-(5)_%!d(string=51526004954418050) for visiting.

Now, onto the Blue Angelica that grew in water. Unlike some plants, the Blue Angelica grew in "polluted" waters. As in, water that is surrounded by demonic beasts, or this case, was inhabited by demonic beasts. It gathered the demonic energy and molds it into a safer version of medicinal protein. The roots and stem were poisonous but the flower and leaves could be grounded into powder and made into medication for arthritis, circulation problems and menstrual problems in women. 

Lastly, Female Resentments were called as such because most, if not all, of it's population is female. There have yet to be reports of a male of the species. Though, it is called species, they weren't really a completely separate, unrelated branch of beings. They had the upper bodies of human women and from the belly down, had the bodies of snakes or serpents, similar to the Lamias Shen Tianyu sometimes came across in literature of her old world. Simply put, they were human women who died unjustly, watery deaths.

They were either drowned by human hand, by accident or their bodies were thrown in bodies of water after their death. They were essentially water ghosts. Though usually, they appeared as beautiful maidens bathing near a body of water or a pretty snake and appeared pretty solid and could even be touched. Their "demon form" was that of a partially transparent half-human half-serpent hybrid. And their "true form" was the state they were in at the time of death. For example, if a Female Resentment died having been stabbed in her stomach, then her "true form" would have a stomach wound covered in blood. However, since they were dead, they couldn't bleed. But sometimes, the "true forms" were quite gruesome even for veteran fighters. The most "pretty" of the forms were usually those who merely died from drowning as there wouldn't be much gore involved.

They usually stayed in the mortal world because of unfinished business or hatred towards their killers. Though they seem pitiful, in fact, these Female Resentments are too blinded to differentiate between black and white. They indiscriminately lure in humans and drown them in the waters they reside in. If they managed to kill their targets of revenge, sometimes they don't notice and would just keep drowning others. There are rarely Female Resentments that have enough sense left in them to only go after their target and live quietly. Though it doesn't mean peaceful ones don't exist. They grow in power by s.u.c.k.i.n.g the life force of the people they drag into their dens. Their population multiplies by drowning others so some Female Resentments were actually killed by other Female Resentments. 

The reason this group of Female Resentments were guarding the Blue Angelica was because they instinctively knew it was a precious herb beneficial to them. There was a leader among them who would distribute it to the others but since they were dead, the herbs medicinal properties didn't work for them. However, the demonic energy gathered in the roots and stems helped them grow in power.

"How could I not be empathetic? No matter what, we're all women. I don't know how many women of talent became a Female Resentment because of envious humans." Shen Tianyu sighed. 

"Wifey really cares for women~" Rong Jian praised.

"Not really. I'm just spouting nonsense. If I really cared, I reckon I would be doing more charity work and employing talented women." Shen Tianyu shrugged her shoulders.

"Anyways, do you know any place I can buy gunpowder?" Shen Tianyu asked. 'I made those bombs when I was at Yaodu and since that place was teeming with crazy people, no one batted an eye but something so dangerous can't be easily acquired in the secular world. I didn't store any at any of my businesses either because it would be dangerous if a fire broke out or someone took advantage of it to set fire to them.' 

"Hm... I think... the Imperial Palace should have some. As for buying... I'll have to ask Zihao-ge1 since it is a dangerous material as you said. The only ones selling it would be illegal traders." Rong Jian tapped his knee with a finger with an expression that said "leave it to me!".

"Ah... yeah. Take your time. I wanted to get some so I could make a few before we set off but I'm not in urgent need of it. I just... don't feel secure without a full arsenal, I guess?" Shen Tianyu replied, unconsciously scratching her cheek with one finger. 

Krrrr....

"Reporting Wangye..." The man trailed off seeing Shen Tianyu inside the room.

"Your men aren't very careful, are they? What if it had been someone else sitting here?" Shen Tianyu turned to Rong Jian.

"Ah... I said that no one would be allowed in here during this time so it's fine. And wifey already knows what's down there so it doesn't matter." Rong Jian smiled brightly at her.

"Well, since you're busy, I'll take my leave. Prepare your things. I'll get some rest and buy some herbs tomorrow." Shen Tianyu got up from her seat and left the study, being careful to check no one was nearby and closing the door behind her after slipping through the small crack she opened up. Borther Zihao; in case anyone forgot, that's Jun Wangye
