THUMP-WAG! THUMP-WAG! THUMP-WAG!
Out in the sunlit heart of the Southern Ten-Thousand-Galaxy Botanical & Healing Gardens, the entire emerald star-continent was vibrating with a rhythmic, booming sound that could be heard three light-years away.
It wasn’t an astral earthquake, nor was it a meteor shower.
It was the sound of thirty planet-sized Ancient Chaos Poison-Dragons lying flat on their scaly backs in a three-thousand-mile meadow of sweet clover. Kicking their stubby back legs in the air and wagging their tails like thirty overgrown puppies waiting for a belly rub!
Standing right in the middle of that circle of cosmic apex predators was twenty-three-year-old Su Nuannuan (Rank 10 Benevolent Medicine & Candy Sovereign).
In the cruel, discarded draft of the Chief Author’s original manuscript, little Su Nuannuan had been doomed because of her innate Myriad-Poison Sacred Body. Betrayed by a greedy medicine sect, locked inside Lin Fan’s dark poison-refining jar for ten agonizing years, and dissolved into a cold pill without ever tasting a single piece of candy.
Instead, because Gu Changsheng had rescued her eighteen years ago, washed the mud off her cheeks, handed her a strawberry milk candy. Taught her that her hands were meant to grow sweet herbs and heal hurts, twenty-three-year-old Su Nuannuan now presided as the beloved Sovereign of the Universal Life-Candy & Healing Gardens!
