Forensic Imperial Concubine

The secret guards carefully watched while Harper skillfully cut off the poisonous snakes' heads. Without a hint of hesitation or disgust, she then peeled their skin and cut their stomach. Such a beautiful woman was butchering such a dangerous animal but they didn't think that she was rugged at all. Instead, they felt like she was gallant and heroic. It actually made her even more charming.

"Two snakes are not enough for us. There're fifteen of us!" Diana exclaimed while she approached Harper. The snakes were poisonous with very sharp teeth. Their toxins were concentrated in their head. So as long as their heads were cut off, the whole team didn't need to worry about being poisoned.

"Enough!" Harper replied while she took out a small tripod from her pocket. When she refined pills in the Birch Pass, she found out that the tripod could change size after being infused with spiritual power. She had already experienced going to another world and being reborn, so she was kind of used to this kind of thing. She didn't think that it was strange at all.

But the others were not like her. For the first time, they just witnessed how an object went from a small one to a large one. They could only look at Harper in awe and worship.

"We don't have any water. The water here is not safe for drinking," Diana complained once again, reminding Harper that everything around them was poisonous. Even the rain from the sky was toxic because of the miasma.

"Who said there's no water?" Harper rhetorically asked while her eyes fell on a lush tree. The tree was very thick, and its leaves were big and appealing. She pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the trunk a few times. Soon enough, the tree's sap came out. She put the tripod under it so it could collect the sap.

Harper asked someone to start a fire and put the chopped snake meat into the tripod to make soup. The tripod was almost filled with sap. So the twelve secret guards were sent to collect the sap and fill up their water bottles. Howard was helping Harper with

Harper's eyes softened in an instant. She was forced to enter the Labyrinth Swamp. And even before that, it had been days since they last saw each other. She didn't know how he was and whether he was able to settle the dispute in the Birch Pass. She could only hope that he would find it in him to be calm if he found out that she had entered the swamp. Harper thought that hopefully, he had
