A spiritual magpie fluttered its wings and landed within a noble estate.
A pretty maiden reached out to touch the magpie's head, removed a leg ring, and fed it with some spiritual grains: "Xiao Ling, you're so obedient!"
The maiden, clad in maidservant attire, walked through a hall and arrived outside a quiet chamber: "Commandery Princess... a winged sparrow letter has arrived."
"Come in!"
The door of the quiet chamber opened with a rumble, and the faint sound of a baby crying could be heard, causing the maid to shrink her neck involuntarily.
She knew that her Commandery Princess was a Great Cultivator, and the retreat was filled with many mysteries, often said to echo the cries of an infant.
Yet the servants who dared to investigate all went missing, neither seen alive nor found dead!
