Chapter 1079: Life and Death Officer

```

...

Dawn broke, and rays of brilliance, like golden silk, scattered across a courtyard filled with red leaves, where a woman dressed in an exquisite gown slowly entered.

In the yard, a vibrant young woman was sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom, her eyes covered by a bright red silk band, clearly indicating her blindness.

"Did I enter the wrong door?" the blind woman looked in the direction of the entrance.

For some reason, though she could see nothing, she felt there was a faintly glowing silhouette there, graceful and slim; she could even detect a fragrance emanating from the figure, surpassing flowers after an early spring rain.

"Show Language?" the woman at the door asked.

"Um...Um..." the blind woman hesitated for a while, then, after a moment, spoke in a voice loud enough for herself to hear, "It's been a long time since someone called me by that name..."

"Your little courtyard is well-maintained," the woman slowly walked in, surveying the surroundings.
