Long Zixuan and the others were learning how to brew wine, washing osmanthus flowers and steaming them with six types of grains, a process so complex that they were all sweating profusely.
Yun Xi, Zi Ling, and a group of girls were learning how to make perfume pouches, deeply engrossed.

"Sister Feng… what exactly is happening outside?"

severing this place's connection with the outside world.
Thus, the courtyard remained blissfully unaware of the external turmoil.
Upon hearing this, the old hen also responded telepathically:
"Some little shrimps awoke, that's all."
The Big Black Dog was skeptical, though. Little shrimps that required the old hen to act?
