The dark space remained as pitch black as ever.

With a heavy heart, Ji Xiaoxiao blinked, adjusting to the sudden darkness. She bowed respectfully to the big brother of the dark space and said, "My lord."

The adult trapped inside the golden dragon pillar sighed repeatedly, "You did a good job on this mission. However, in the future, if you have anything to say or ask, be more decisive and straightforward. Don't drag it out and act all coy. It's just ruining my reputation."

Ji Xiaoxiao was completely baffled and had no idea what was going on. "Yes, sir, Xiaoxiao obeys."

Smart people know that you should never refuse your boss, even if the request is completely unreasonable.

The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke. The leader is my god, and destiny cannot be defied.

The thick, square white book, as heavy as stone, rustled as it turned. Ji Xiaoxiao looked up and her situation became clear at a glance.

"My lord, why is the reward another tattered book?" Having been tricked by the lord again without her noticing, and failing to get the gold pillar, Ji Xiaoxiao turned around and unceremoniously abandoned the little bit of poetry and disappointment of the romantic evening. "My lord, can you change the reward? Always giving a tattered book as a reward, my lord, you're not even this stingy when you're giving money to a beggar."

The adult was already in a sullen mood, listless like a flower bud under the scorching sun, drooping and wilting. Ji Xiaoxiao's incessant chatter only amplified the adult's headache, adding insult to injury, like pouring oil on a raging fire. This torturous experience of extreme heat and cold tormented the adult, fueling his uncontrollable rage, and the black aura surrounding him intensified.

Are you trying to bargain with me?

June weather is like a child's face; adults can change their expressions in an instant, which makes one wonder, "Are you still a minor?"

Adults are adults, and Xiao Xiao is just a nobody. Even if Ji Xiao Xiao had the greatest courage, she wouldn't dare to provoke a tiger. It would be a death wish. Don't bother her. Ji Xiao Xiao still wants to live for another five hundred years!

"My lord, I swear I had no such intention. I see you as a person of extraordinary talent and virtue, possessing the essence of heaven and earth, wise and powerful, worthy of the heavens and earth. You have bestowed upon me this unparalleled book, 'Dao Tian,' which I am unworthy of. I will obey your every command, even at the cost of my life. What need is there for such a vague reward?" Staying at home has its advantages, Ji Xiaoxiao thought, incredibly grateful for the knowledge and skills she had learned from the internet in her previous life.

The adult coughed, and the black aura surrounding him gradually faded. He waved his right hand and said with delight, "You're a smart person, and I admire smart people, so I specially chose a task for you. You, enjoy it."

"Alright, you can go now!" The adult paused, then continued.

At her command, Ji Xiaoxiao vanished into the darkness.

"My child, why do you defy me?" After Ji Xiaoxiao disappeared, the adult traversed time and space, his piercing gaze falling on the crazed Yun Ming, muttering to himself.

Yun Ming, with his profound cultivation and keen senses, instantly calmed his distorted expression. "It's you, I know it's you. Get out here, you cowardly little man hiding your head and tail."

The adult's eyes turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, Yun Ming's meridians were severed, and his cultivation was completely destroyed. "Let's go, it's time for you to continue."

Ji Xiaoxiao had no idea about the events between the two people she only knew. After a period of ups and downs, she woke up with pain all over her body. The noise around her—the chirping of birds, the barking of dogs, and the crowing of roosters—was like thunder in a pot, making her feel uneasy.

"Er Gouzi, you'd better watch out. The woman under your feet is the eldest daughter of the Minister, born into a prestigious family, wealthy and proud, virtuous and noble. We can't afford to offend her."

"Hmph, just an old maid who occupies the position without doing anything. Wealthy and proud, virtuous and noble, bah! Take Fu Qipan, for example. She looks respectable but is actually weak and incompetent, lacking any semblance of a noble lady from a high-ranking family. Look at her, and then look at the elegant and naturally beautiful young ladies and gentlemen in the manor. Even if I beat her to death today, the master will only reward her. Go away, move aside, I have to use my big move."

Ji Xiaoxiao vaguely heard the arrogant man's boastful words, but because her soul and new body were not yet integrated, she could not take any action. After a while, she felt a clear, swollen pain on her cheek from being stepped on, and Ji Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her hand and grabbed the culprit.

Originally, Ji Xiaoxiao only intended to gently pull away the arrogant man's smelly feet, but she felt as if she were being blown away by a strong gust of wind, her body facing the blue sky as a powerful airflow propelled her upwards. After regaining her footing, the arrogant man swayed unsteadily in mid-air, screaming in fright. Ji Xiaoxiao's head throbbed with pain, and she casually tossed the arrogant man onto the artificial hill.

You won't know until you shake it; the watermelon falls when you do.

The arrogant man leaped straight at the artificial hill, his head colliding with the stone—a classic case of the brave prevailing in a narrow encounter. His head, like a watermelon, fell from the sky with a loud crash, its juices splattering everywhere, a red and white mess. The servants standing nearby stared in disbelief, then, after a long pause, screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.

After getting used to her new body, Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at the arrogant man's fate, curled her lip, and roared, "Anyone who dares to touch me, I'll wipe them out."

Kind people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden.

At Ji Xiaoxiao's roar, the cowardly servants and maids immediately stopped in their tracks, trembling as they returned to Ji Xiaoxiao's side. Their faces were pale, and they all knelt down, kowtowing and admitting their mistakes. "Miss, we know we were wrong. Please have mercy and spare our lowly lives."
