To achieve this, Sherya must also seek Lily Ji’s help.
It’s not about asking her to secretly contact Ji Lian and arrange a private meeting.
If something like that were to be discovered, it would cause big problems!
The girl only needs to obtain the right to go out from Ji Yu Su.
And there’s already a ready-made reason.
Sherya has already thought it through, brewing it in her mind.
“So, you want to take care of your little unicorn?”
Lily Ji’s lovely face showed a cute expression of surprise as she frowned and blinked at Sherya, who was holding a writing board with a drawing of a unicorn.
Sherya made a sound like “Abba!”
Seeing that Lily Ji didn’t understand.
Of course, she couldn’t understand.
So Sherya wrote two common characters on the writing board again.
— Bai Ling
The name of the little unicorn is Bai Ling.
Sherya came up with it later on her own.
After all, in the original work, there was no existence of a little unicorn.
It’s more accurate to say that following the original plot, Sherya shouldn’t have bought Ji Lian at all!
But what had to happen has already happened.
Since the original route was unreliable, Sherya had to create her path!
And for the girl, as long as she raises little Bai Ling well, it could potentially become a crucial variable in the future.
“Bai Ling… um, okay, I’ll go and… seek approval? for you,” Lily Ji hesitated and said.
This could also serve as an apology to Sherya.
Sherya’s eyes immediately lit up, nodding quickly.
Lily Ji took a deep breath, determination filling her cute little face.
“I’m going!”
With that, she trotted away from the young lady’s room.
Sherya watched as her figure disappeared down the corridor, filled with eager anticipation.
Go for it, little maid!
Lily Ji nervously approached the head maid and explained her purpose.
The head maid frowned at first, but then a peculiar light gleamed in her eyes.
She spoke gently, “Regarding matters concerning elves… I cannot decide alone; you must go to the young lady.”
Calling another maid, she instructed her to help Lily Ji with the announcement.
As for the specific request, it depended on whether Lily Ji could withstand the pressure from Lady Ji Yu Su and truthfully report it.
Lily Ji’s face immediately turned pale, and even her shoulders began to tremble.
Facing the young lady alone… how terrifying!
She only became close to Lady Ji Lian because they were both Westerners.
But when it came to Lady Ji Yu Su, the girl could only feel deep reverence.
However… she didn’t want to disappoint Sherya.
The desire to reconcile with Sherya quickly overcame her, finally restoring Lily Ji’s long-lost courage.
Following another older maid, she went to the location where the young lady’s office was.
As for the head maid, she squinted her eyes, then called for another maid.
“You go find Lady Ji Lian.”
“Just tell her… the little unicorn she brought back is sick, vomiting after eating, and even the stableman doesn’t know what to do.”
The maid had no doubts about the head maid’s instructions.
So, one went to find Ji Lian, while Lily Ji went to see the young lady.
They both had a bright future.
At this moment, Ji Lian was leisurely strolling in the blooming backyard.
Suddenly, a maid hurried towards her, reporting the news of the little unicorn falling ill.
“What’s going on?” The girl immediately felt anxious.
As for Sherya… well, that was understandable.
But why would even the little unicorn have trouble?
What on earth were the stablemen doing!
Ji Lian didn’t doubt it and immediately followed the maid to the stables of the Ji Mansion, where several spirited horses were kept.
Upon her arrival, a cheerful and young neigh echoed from one corner of the stable.
There, a silver-white little unicorn appeared lively and affectionate, struggling to free itself from the stable’s reins.
It wanted to come to Ji Lian’s side, sniffing the pure and alluring scent emanating from her, drawing close to this beautiful and graceful young girl.
Of course, the little one preferred to be close to its loyal owner, Sherya.
But if Sherya wasn’t around, the sweet-smelling Ji Lian was a decent alternative.
“…”
“Is this what you meant by being sick or poisoned and unable to eat anything?”
However, Ji Lian noticed that the trough in front of the unicorn was filled with carrot tops scattered everywhere, including the unicorn’s slightly distended belly.
This wasn’t a case of refusing to eat; it seemed more like the unicorn had eaten too much!
No wonder it was indulging itself.
In the hands of the unicorn trader, it must have led a life of not having enough to eat, let alone being able to feast on its favorite carrots.
The maid didn’t know how to explain, looking almost on the verge of tears.
In the end, she could only lower her head, reluctantly taking responsibility.
“It’s… it must be a misunderstanding on my part. Perhaps another horse is sick…”
“I’m sorry! Lady Ji Lian!”
Ji Lian sighed softly, ignoring the self-blaming maid and walking straight toward the beautiful little unicorn emitting soft neighs.
The brief memories of strolling with the unicorn alongside Sherya in the sunset unexpectedly rushed into the girl’s heart.
Well, let’s just spend some time with the little one like this.
After all, she couldn’t find anyone to confide in.
Ji Lian reached out, gently stroking the unicorn’s face and its soft, silver-white mane.
Slowly, she felt an inexplicable sense of healing.
At the same time, Lily Ji obtained Lady Ji Yu Su’s permission and happily returned to Sherya’s side to report the good news.
Sherya breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the girl still didn’t know how to approach Ji Lian temporarily, deceive… ahem, gain the last bit of favor to unlock the task system.
But at least, she got the right to go out and didn’t have to stay confined in her room anymore.
With some luck, she might run into Ji Lian.
If luck wasn’t on her side… well, she could always spend time with the unicorn!

And so, Lily Ji, with Sherya in tow, left the room and headed to the palace stables.
The golden-haired maid held the hand of her silver-haired elf slave, stepping onto the soft carpet, walking through the corridors and palaces.
In the midst of a crisp and captivating bell ringing, they arrived at the royal stable.
At that moment, Ji Lian was immersed in the freshness and healing of feeding the little unicorn carrots.
Hearing the bell behind her, she couldn’t help but pause.
But the girl only felt a blow to her spirit, creating an illusion.
She couldn’t help but smile self-deprecatingly.
Until a hurried and excited, yet delicate and mute voice came from behind.
The carrots in the girl’s hand suddenly fell to the ground.
“Abba… Abba!”
It was Ji Lian…!
