Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 613 - 611: Revenge Should Be Swift (Part 3)

Chapter 613: Chapter 611: Revenge Should Be Swift (Part 3)

Lin Wanwan entered Princess Consort Yang’s palace and completed the ritual of greeting, standing silently to the side.

Princess Consort Yang lounged on the hu chair, her captivating eyes gazing at Lin Wanwan. Lazily, she asked, "Lin Le’an, you came here without being summoned. Are you aware of your crime?"

Aware of my crime? What crime? I’m here to hold people accountable!

Lin Wanwan scoffed silently in her heart but outwardly replied respectfully, "Your Highness, Le’an meant no offense. I came unannounced today because I heard yesterday that Your Highness is very interested in the soap from our Soap and Music Workshop. Coincidentally, we launched a new premium collection today, and I wanted to ask Your Highness to review them."

After speaking, Lin Wanwan took out two pieces of soap hidden in her sleeve pouch, raising them to the level of her forehead and handing them forward.

Princess Consort Yang glanced at the palace maid standing beside her, who silently stepped forward to take the soap and facial soap, presenting them to Princess Consort Yang for inspection.

Princess Consort Yang picked up the almost transparent facial soap, gently sniffed it below her nose, and couldn’t distinguish any specific scent, only feeling a comfortable fragrance. She casually praised Lin Wanwan.

"You’ve put effort into this, He Xiang, reward her."

"Yes!"

The palace maid in green, called He Xiang, took a small scented sachet and walked towards Lin Wanwan to reward her.

Lin Wanwan naturally expressed gratitude for the reward.

No matter what Princess Consort Yang gave, Lin Wanwan didn’t care. She just wanted an excuse to come inside.

Princess Consort Yang accepted both pieces of soap, gazed at Lin Wanwan for a while, and then signaled for the palace maid to escort her out.

Just as she stepped out the door, Lin Wanwan frowned, clutching her stomach, and spoke to the palace maid leading the way, "Sister, I’m feeling unwell today. Could I borrow a place here for convenience?"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the palace maid’s hand, transferring a few round, modern cultured pearls into the maid’s palm.

The palace maid’s hand knew immediately, and she silently withdrew her hand, concealing it in her sleeve, speaking softly, "It’s a natural need; it can’t be helped. Village Lady Le’an, please don’t worry, follow me."

Lin Wanwan followed the palace maid to the restroom in Princess Consort Yang’s palace. After the maid left, she glanced around and frowned slightly.

The Imperial Palace was filled with palace maids and eunuchs; the guards were too strict. Her plan to enter Princess Consort Yang’s bedroom and not leave was becoming difficult to achieve.

The closer she got to those esteemed persons in the palace, the more rules, etiquette, and attendants there were, making it impossible for her to do anything under their noses.

"Forget it, let’s settle for locating here," Lin Wanwan couldn’t get closer, so she had to settle for the next best option.

Immediately, she opened the Space-Time Gate and returned to the modern era, now just waiting for nightfall to take action.

The palace maid waiting outside the restroom was growing anxious as she waited longer and longer without seeing Lin Wanwan come out. Unable to help herself, she knocked on the door to inquire. Hearing no response from inside, she began to panic, preparing to push open the door to investigate, only to find the door had never been locked in the first place.

The palace maid naturally couldn’t find any trace of Village Lady Le’an.

After searching both inside and outside without finding Lin Wanwan, the palace maid became confused, wondering silently: Did I lose focus while looking at the pearls, causing Village Lady Le’an to leave without my noticing?

Having lost someone, the palace maid naturally kept silent; otherwise, she would face consequences.

Village Lady Le’an must have already left, so what was the point of searching blindly?

Meanwhile, back in the modern era, Lin Wanwan had spent the day accompanying her mentor, Master Liang, examining pulses, transcribing recipes, and visiting two hospitals.

After classes ended in the evening, she went shopping at Times Square, replenished various materials, and then rushed to the outdoor gear shop to buy a tranquilizer dart gun.

After buying her supplies and returning to her courtyard, Lin Wanwan continued her various online courses, staying very busy.

Luckily, tomorrow Master Liang’s agenda was to visit several universities in the Ancient City for public lectures, which for Lin Wanwan felt like a rest day, allowing her to freely plot her actions.

After finishing her studies in the evening, taking a bath, applying a facial mask, and wearing a steam eye mask, Lin Wanwan comfortably lay in her soft bed to sleep soundly.

Tonight, she needed to recharge and prepare fully for the events of tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the appointed influencer crew came to meet her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lin Wanwan leisurely lounged on a chair, letting the influencer crew apply special effects makeup.

She chose a special effects makeup style called "Lei," recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, described as resembling a fox with luxuriant fur, a name given to it, acting as both male and female, consuming it nullifies jealousy.

Look, the creatures described in the ancient texts of our ancestors often end with food-related consequences. Truly fitting for a nation of food lovers!

The special effects makeup Lin Wanwan selected was originally the influencer’s famed creation; the makeup and props were well-established, and the influencer had already made high-click-rated special effects makeup videos.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Lin Wanwan, dressed in snow-white ancient attire, closed her eyes and let others beautify her.

First came a snow-white half-fox face mask fitting closely to her face, followed by a wall-like foundation applied evenly on her face, neck, hands—every exposed area—then came finely crafted makeup, lake-water green contact lenses, thick exaggerated fake eyelashes, bold eye shadow, and bright red lips.

A complete set of special effects makeup, including application, smearing, and gluing, took over three hours to complete.

Finally, donning a white wig cap, the reflection in the mirror revealed the mythical creature "Lei."

Lin Wanwan admired the special effects makeup with satisfaction, promptly paid the final balance, and the influencer crew left the courtyard happily after packing up.

The reason Lin Wanwan invited them to help with this makeup was of no concern to them, as long as they got paid.

Whether she was attending a costume ball or shooting a video didn’t matter to them.

After everyone left, Lin Wanwan locked the door tightly, calculated the time, realizing it should be midnight in the Great Tang.

Lin Wanwan brought out a prepared fake mountain model, placed it on a silent-wheel dolly, spread dry ice, and took out several movie-specific smoke cakes, scattering them around. She grabbed special-treated white candles, hung tiny light strings, wore rollerblades, and took the tranquilizer dart gun.

Next, Lin Wanwan used a lighter to ignite the crushed smoke cakes, then poured hot water onto the dry ice, instantly creating an ethereal atmosphere.

Lin Wanwan touched the Space-Time Bracelet, opened the Space-Time Gate, and appeared in the restroom inside Princess Consort Yang’s palace.

Then she dragged the ethereal air towards Princess Consort Yang’s bedroom swiftly.

The two young eunuchs drowsily guarding the door, suddenly seeing a flash of white under the lantern light, tried to shout, but Lin Wanwan quickly darted a shot like hunting cattle, knocking them out cold.

With a whimper, they collapsed to the ground.

Lin Wanwan wasted no time in stepping forward to open the hall door, glancing around after entering. After securing two tranquilizer dartheads from the fallen eunuchs and safely stashing them, she carefully locked the door and glided towards the large bed behind the bedroom screen.

In the silent deep night, the lights in the hall had long been turned off for sleep.

Only Lin Wanwan’s completely white figure reflected cold light in the swirling smoke.

The palace maid keeping watch under the bed had no chance to react before Lin Wanwan darted her unconscious with a shot.

On the bed, Princess Consort Yang seemed to sense something, her lovely eyelashes quivering desperately, finally awakening in a daze.

She saw, not far from the bed, a half-human, half-cat demon drifting through the smoke towards her bedside.

The demon held a white candle that suddenly ignited by itself as she moved, casting an eerie glow on that snow-white half-human, half-demon face, both sinister and terrifying.
