Ancestor Crystal

Lory's status as a new maid with a humble background was very low in the palace. Her existence was like grass since she had no support. She had to share her room with ten other girls and they all slept on a mattress on the floor. The floor was covered with a rattan carpet to protect them from the cold and there was also a small furnace at the center to warm the room. However, the nights were still cold. Thankfully, Lory had the necklace from Zhao Li Xin that prevented her from feeling cold.

It was almost midnight and most of the girls in the room were already asleep when a white smoke appeared. The faint smoke flew around the room knocking out the girls who were still awake. The smoke didn't affect Lory because of her protective necklace. She slowly pulled out her dagger from her left arm and readied herself for anything.
