Nolan said, “Serenity, your little bugs.”

When Nolan returned to the camp, he immediately spotted Eliza, who had already prepared the herbal concoctions.

She had started brewing the first pot of medicine, intending to test its effects herself soon.

As Nolan came in, she coughed lightly, her hand pressed against her lips, subtly acknowledging she had been. eavesdropping.

After taking the little bugs from Nolan’s hand, she couldn’t help but ask, “You really just captured the daughter of the Malone family like that?”

“She delivered herself to my door. Why not capture her?” Nolan said, matter–of–factly.

Eliza glanced at him before turning her attention back to the task at hand.

Noticing her small movement, Nolan paused for a moment and asked, “What’s with the look? Do you know her, and want to plead for her?”

Eliza immediately shook her head, “I don’t know her, and I certainly wouldn’t plead for her.”

“Then what is it?” Nolan inquired.

Eliza smiled, her eyes narrowing as she teased him, “I just didn’t expect you to be so unmoved with such beauty in front of you.”

At this, Nolan looked surprised, his eyebrows raising. He asked, “You mean Louisa is the ‘beauty‘ you’re talking about?”

“Of course, who else could it be?” Eliza replied, slightly surprised by his confusion.

She hadn’t immediately thought of herself in that context.

But Nolan, sensing something, remained silent for a moment before turning his gaze toward her. He then softly said,* Serenity, don’t you have any awareness of your own beauty?”

He hadn’t paid much attention to Louisa’s appearance, but when it came to beauties, there was only one that caught his

eye.

Seeing Eliza touch her face, Nolan chuckled, “I’m not a block of wood. With a beauty like that in front of me, naturally, I’d be moved. But that depends on the person.”

“Not everyone can be called a beauty, and not every beauty can move me.”

Moreover, Louisa, in his eyes, didn’t even come close to being beautiful.

To him, Louisa smelled of death–her stench was unbearable.

Nolan said, “Louisa smells like death?”

Eliza, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Nolan nodded. “Yes, it’s a smell that’s been rotting for a while.”

Eliza furrowed her brows. “My bugs didn’t detect anything like that.”

If they had, they would have communicated it to her immediately.

More importantly, her bugs were connected to her five senses, though she usually only used them for communication since the other senses, especially smell, were too overwhelming for her to handle.

She had shut off her other senses for the sake of comfort.

But, if they detected anything out of the ordinary, such as the scent of a corpse, blood, or certain herbs, they would relay the information to her.

This time, however, even though her bugs were close by, they had given no such message.

Nolan thought for a moment and said, “It’s not just the stench of death; there’s also a strong fragrance of flowers.”

He hadn’t specifically gone to smell her, but when he approached to catch one of Serenity’s little bugs, the mix of these two scents had hit him.

If it had been someone else, they might not have noticed anything. But Nolan, having seen so many corpses in his life, was familiar with the stench of death.
