Chapter 13

Huoyan Jiao Lingshi and Feng Jue signed a master-servant contract and became the spirit beast under Feng Jue's command. Naturally, he was loyal to Feng Jue.

This loyalty reached its peak after it swallowed the Flame Heart Stone and was reborn.

In order to obey Feng Jue's call at any time, it used the side hall closest to Feng Jue as its nest - the owner said it could choose any one, and the window of the side hall faced the waterfall on the back mountain. If it was hungry, it could go out of the window and swim all the way to the bottom of the waterfall to catch fish to eat.

In places with abundant spiritual energy, the fish are also plump and delicious.

It had done all the research when choosing its nest. The owner was well served by palace servants in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The birds and beasts in the mountains were not hunted by anyone, and they were fat and strong as they were bathed in spiritual energy. All of them would be good for it!

The owner is so nice, this must be its destined owner!

Lingshi happily rolled her body into a ball, rolling around on the gold, jade, bricks and stones. Thinking about the days she had spent in the dark and damp cave before, compared to now, there was simply no comparison!

And that old man who always beat and scolded it and ignored it, and finally locked it in a cave and almost turned it into stone and died, is not even as good as a hair of its current owner!

It turns out that Jiao life can be so good! As expected, spiritual beasts need to find a good master!

It rolled all over the floor.

Outside the hall, Xue Mengtao's face was pale. Hearing the "ping pong pong" sounds from inside the room, he knocked on the door tremblingly and said respectfully, "Disciple Xue Mengtao of the Beast Servant Hall requests to see Master Ling Jiao."

Lingshi rolled over again, her green eyes staring at the door.

Lord Lingjiao?

Is this it?

And quite shy, hehe.

It growled, making a clear and low sound.

03Followed Xue Mengtao into the room and saw the Fire Rock Dragon on the floor.

It opens the newly prepared work log and writes to it.

[On the first day of the surveillance mission, the Fire Rock Dragon tied itself into a knot and couldn't untie it.

Xue Mengtao trembles.]

03 After thinking about it, he added a TT emoticon after the word "shivering".

Xue Mengtao was about to cry. She had never seen a spiritual creature like the dragon before. Being stared at by those fist-sized green eyes, she felt that she would be swallowed by it in the next second.

"Sir, I have been ordered to serve you. I will deliver your three meals a day and your monthly allowance. Please leave the cleaning of the palace to me." She said tremblingly, and transferred spiritual power to the storage ring on her finger.

It's funny to say that she had been in the Xue family for many years and had only seen storage rings on the hands of the young masters and young ladies of her own family. However, on the first day she entered the Lanyang Palace, she was assigned a storage ring, although it was for sending things to the spirit beast.

After all, it is the palace master's contracted spirit beast.

Xue Mengtao tried hard to think wildly and took out a jade basin from the ring - a basin that could accommodate five of her and was filled with cut animal meat, emitting a faint spiritual energy.

The Fire Rock Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up, and it rushed over with a roar and opened its mouth.

03 Write: Eat a lot.

The bloody smell in the hall became stronger. Xue Mengtao looked shaky and was about to faint in the next second, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She took out another basin filled with spiritual fruits, which looked like the after-meal dessert for Huoyan Jiao.

In addition to food, there were also spirit stones and spiritual objects with fire attributes, which filled the side hall.

After the Fire Rock Dragon finished its meal, it climbed onto the Fire Stone Couch with its belly bulging, resting. Xue Mengtao carefully dragged its food bowl to the back hills to wash it. By the time she had washed the jade basin and put away the spiritual stones and objects in the hall, the sun had already set.

Ling Shi looked at the spotless and tidy hall, swung her tail on the floor, lowered her head and grabbed a few spirit stones, and growled at Xue Mengtao.

Xue Mengtao opened her hands hesitantly. As her face turned pale, the Fire Rock Dragon's head came closer and its mouth loosened.

The snow-white spirit stone fell into her palm, making her hand feel heavy.

"This, this is..." Xue Mengtao stared at the jade in her hand in shock with red eyes, muttering, "Give it to me?"

"Roar." The Fire Rock Dragon swung its tail.

This behavior reminded 03 of the scene when Feng Jue gave it pastries, and it couldn't help but write a word.

sigh.

Perhaps it was because she was a newcomer and at a loss that Xue Mengtao, who had received the spirit stone from the seemingly ferocious Fire Rock Dragon, could no longer control her emotions and broke down in tears.

03 was startled and dodged quickly, carefully observing the current situation.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little scared." Xue Mengtao knew she had lost her composure and kept wiping her tears.

The Fire Rock Dragon, which was also frightened, did not move. After a while, it carefully rolled up two spirit stones with its tail and threw them over.

That’s all I have, I won’t give you any more even if you cry!

"No...that's not what I meant. Thank you, Master Lingshi." Xue Mengtao cried and sat down weakly on the steps.

The sun sets in the west, and the mountains, rivers and grass are dyed red gold.

Golden light painted the palace, painting all the creatures within it the same color.

"If you had chosen to go back to Lianshan Sect with the young master that day, he would have treated you very well. The young master is a very good person." Xue Mengtao murmured.

The Fire Rock Dragon lay in the pile of spirit stones and tilted its head to look at her.

Xue Mengtao burst into laughter and said honestly: "The treatment is not so good, Lanyang Palace

It's a major sect in Dongzhou. What's the situation of the young master now?"

As she spoke, tears began to fall again.

The palace before her was magnificent and unfamiliar, but Xue Mengtao's heart was filled with longing for her time in the quaint Xue family courtyard. After following Xue Bufan, she had her own room for the first time. After Xue Bufan's talent was revealed, her status as a maid rose dramatically.

But after Xue Bufan's spiritual roots were severely injured and destroyed, those who once respected her revealed sinister faces, as if they wanted to vent years of jealousy. Xue Mengtao could tolerate all this, but she felt even more heartbroken for Xue Bufan.

She was in such a bad situation, and Xue Bufan's situation was even worse.

Xue Mengtao, who was completely unaware of Xue Bufan's spiritual root restoration, was still worried about him.

"I was mistaken. If you follow Young Master Bufan back to Lianshan Sect, you can't follow him. Young Master is just a mortal now." Xue Mengtao said.

"roar?"

The Fire Rock Dragon swam over and put its big head next to it.

That's not true. Your young master inherited the legacy from its previous owner and restored its spiritual roots. It witnessed it with its own eyes. Your young master even said that he would find it a Flame Heart Stone to thank it for saving his life.

But the life-saving grace, and the previous owner...

The Fire Rock Dragon shook its head, with an irritated look in its eyes.

Xue Mengtao thought it was impatient, so she quickly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Master Lingshi, I've delayed your practice. I'll leave now."

Just leaving?

The Fire Rock Dragon and the one floating above its head and staring at people thought at the same time.

Xue Mengtao smiled at Huoyan Jiao and turned to leave. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the two men standing in the opposite corridor, staring at each other for an unknown amount of time. Xue Mengtao was horrified and quickly saluted, "Palace Master, Lady Siyi!"

Host.

03 Coming here, didn’t you say you were going into seclusion to practice?

Is he here to inspect the work?

“

Siyi looked at Feng Jue in confusion. Who was the Palace Master explaining to?

Xue Mengtao?

How is that possible?

Siyi smiled, her gaze landing on the Fire Rock Dragon. She couldn't help but laugh, "Today, I saw the Palace Master riding a dragon. The red dragon paired with a beautiful woman was truly stunning. Speaking of which, the Palace Master has loved beautiful things since she was a child. Before the Fire Rock Dragon surrendered, although it was decadent, it also looked quite majestic. I knew then that the Palace Master must have wanted it."

Her words made Huoyan Jiao and Xue Mengtao's eyes widen at the same time.

Didn’t you say you won’t force me? Don’t you really want it?

Feng Jue put his hands behind his back, his rosy lips curled up.

03 Enlightenment: Human beings...

Xue Mengtao looked at the Fire Rock Dragon, whose scales shone like rubies, and whispered, "Lady Lingshi is truly majestic and beautiful. The Palace Master must have excellent taste."

Siyi's smile deepened. "I've been with her since childhood, so I know what she's thinking. But you... I heard that you and Xue Bufan were childhood sweethearts?"

"I don't dare to call myself Mr. Xue's childhood sweetheart, I just have been serving Mr. Xue since I was a child!" Xue Mengtao said hurriedly.

Siyi looked at her with a smile and said slowly, "I see. Young Master Xue is handsome and talented. It's natural for you to like him."

Xue Mengtao was startled and her face turned red.

Feng Jue said disdainfully, "Even strangers like us, who have only met a few times, can see it. How could Xue Bufan not know?"

Xue Mengtao lowered her head and explained to Xue Bufan in a stammering voice.

"Master Xue is engaged to the Palace Master, how could he treat me..." Xue Mengtao whispered, "Master is not that kind of person."

"But now the engagement is annulled, and he still didn't choose you, right?" Siyi said with a smile.

"No, I was the one who gave up on you first!" Xue Mengtao said, "I'm just a maid. I don't dare to dream of having anything to do with you."

Feng Jue frowned, disapproving of her attitude, and sneered, "You're defending him. No wonder your cultivation is so low. I'm afraid you've spent all these years serving others, haven't you?"

"Forget it, why am I telling you all this? It has nothing to do with me." Feng Jue flicked his sleeves and walked away, but suddenly turned his head halfway.

“…”

"snort!"

Siyi looked at Feng Jue's back and asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly angry?"

Xue Mengtao asked anxiously, "Did I anger the Palace Master?"

"You haven't reached the point where she would take it to heart." Siyi's ruthless words made Xue Mengtao drop her head to her chest, and she nodded in response.

"But don't act like that in front of her."

Siyi reached out and lifted Xue Mengtao's chin. She looked at her face and smiled softly. "You are so beautiful, and yet you are always with Xue Bufan and still can't win him over. It seems that Xue Bufan still has some composure. But since he is ruthless, you should put aside your thoughts and cultivate well in the palace."

"Do you want to be a maid for the rest of your life?" Siyi let go, her knuckles casually fiddling with the hairpin in her hair. Her palm landed on Xue Mengtao's shoulder and patted it.

"People, in the end, have to think more about themselves."

“…”

Xue Mengtao looked a little confused as she watched Siyi leave, and smiled bitterly because of Siyi's words.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Xue Mengtao left as she saw there was nothing to do.

The Fire Rock Dragon nestled back into the spirit stone to practice.

After completing the surveillance work, 03 Youyou went back to find Feng Jue.

As soon as I floated into the room through the window, I was hurled an impolite remark at him.

"You still remember to come back?"

Feng Jue glanced at her coldly. She was sitting on the couch with a pile of jade butterflies beside her. She looked like she had been waiting for a long time.

03After thinking about it, I would like to present you a work log.

Feng Jue looked at it coldly, and seeing that Tong had no guilt at all, he glared at the panel held by 03 in shame and anger.

She wanted to see what this little thing wrote, preferably an apology book!

But as Feng Jue read on line by line—the corners of her mouth twitched, and the anger that had been lingering in her eyebrows and eyes quietly dissipated, like peach blossoms falling in the rain. Feng Jue quickly turned her head, her shoulders moving.

03:?

Why is the host laughing? It records it very seriously.

The main system will carefully read its work log every time, and even said that it would be printed into a book and distributed to all colleagues for study.

But before this question, there is another question to ask Feng Jue.

03 put away the panel and asked seriously: "Host, did you let Xue Mengtao join Lanyang Palace because she is beautiful?"

Just like the Fire Rock Dragon.

What the hell is this question?

Feng Jue frowned, staring at 03, and said, "Of course I don't want Xue Bufan to leave easily and comfortably - but if Xue Mengtao is plain-looking and has no feelings for Xue Bufan, I won't want her either."

03 Focus on its plain appearance and update the host's information.

Face control.

"Oh, right, I have another question for you. Didn't you ask me earlier what kind of voice I like? What did that mean?" Feng Jue asked, her voice as elegant and clear as hers. "Why do you ask me if I like it? Can you change this hoarse voice?"

Where is the break? Where is the gong?

No host has ever reported this problem!

Everyone is obviously very satisfied.

Seeing it acquiesce, Feng Jue raised his eyes with interest and said, "Interesting, could it be that when you change hosts, you change your voice to suit the host's mood?"

No, because it costs a lot of points.

03 I have never spent points.

After all, knowing what 03 wanted to do, Feng Jue felt relieved and said nonchalantly, "Strange, it's obviously you who wanted to change, why are you asking about my preferences?"

She said, "Even spirits must grow according to their preferences. 03, why not ask yourself, what kind of voice do you want?"

The author has something to say
