As soon as Venus got home, she showered and fell asleep instantly.

Her body was still small and undernourished, so her strength was limited.

If this had been her ten years later, a single sigil could have obliterated that water ghost instantly.

No need for the elaborate formation or power-draining ritual.

She slept until noon the next day, when Darcy called to say Sophia had woken up and was doing well.

Lucas also sent a text, “My daughter is fine now. Tomorrow evening, the Jynns will hold a new brand gala at the eight-star hotel in Zrebert. Ms. Oracle, you are specially invited to attend.”

Venus replied, “Alright.”

Lucas texted back almost instantly, “I’ll have my secretary deliver the invitation.”

Thinking about the event, Venus glanced at her wardrobe.

It contained only a few plain outfits-simple, modest, and unremarkable.

She had never cared much for clothes or luxury.

However, for an event like this, attire was not just about appearance-it was about respect.

Venus took June shopping with her, buying herself a new outfit and getting June several as well.

June was shy at first, but when Venus said she would need her help later and did not want to trouble her for nothing, June accepted happily.

The favor Venus asked for was simple-boiling the new medicinal herbs she had bought.

They were tailored to her condition, meant to nourish her body and improve her complexion.

June suggested she hire a makeup artist.

Venus politely refused. After just one dose of her tonic, her skin tone visibly brightened.

“Oh my! Ms. Oracle, this medicine’s incredible! You’ve only had one bowl, and complexion’s glowing! Your skin’s so fair now! I want some too!” June exclaimed.

Venus chuckled. “Sure, just leave out these few ingredients and you can drink it too.”

Chapter 126 The Banquet

Thirty hours later.

Finished

Darcy’s car pulled up in front of the villa.

He was dressed in a hand-tailored fancy suit, leaning casually against the car door as he waited.

When Venus stepped out, Darcy almost did not recognize her. His eyes widened in surprise.

Gone was the simple, rustic girl from before. Tonight, she was radiant.

She wore an elegant black dress-sleek, understated, embroidered with subtle silver thread that shimmered faintly under the light. It added a quiet touch of mystery to her grace.

The black dress highlighted her fair, delicate arms that were soft and slender like porcelain.

However, what caught Darcy’s eye most was her face.

Just yesterday morning, she had looked pale and frail.

Now her skin was smooth and flawless, glowing like fine porcelain.

Darcy could tell she was not wearing any makeup, yet her beauty was effortless and striking.

“What are you staring at? Do I have something on my face?” Venus asked, touching her cheek.

Darcy quickly looked away, ears slightly red. “No, I was just wondering what skincare you use? The results are amazing.”

Venus laughed. “No chemical products. Just herbal tonics.”

Darcy nodded, finally understanding.

When they arrived at the eight-star hotel, the place was dazzling. It was filled with glittering lights and prominent guests.

After the fiasco on the yacht last time, the Jynns had taken extra care to make this banquet even grander.

The moment Venus stepped into the ballroom, she spotted the Burn siblings from afar.

Rayne was there-not just with Bree, but also with Lumi.

The three of them were laughing together when they saw Venus enter.

Bree pointed at her in disbelief. “Is that Venus? How did she change so much?”
