Void space.
While Ata and Xiao Yin were wreaking havoc in H country, Qi An and Fu Gui had already returned.
The two little ones bear the soul imprints left by Qi An, and Qi An can know anything they do if he so desires.
The giant light screen clearly showed the two little ones huddled together, secretly plotting how to sneak around and get away with it when they returned.
With a "pfft," Fugui was so amused that he doubled over with laughter.
"Sister An'an, these two silly kids are hilarious! When they come back, we'll give them a good scare."
Qi An was amused and glanced at the light screen again. Knowing that the two boys were safe and sound, she was relieved.
"Two little fools, do they really think they can steal the spiritual essence from me without anyone noticing? It was prepared for them."
Fu Gui helplessly spread his hands: "Sister An An probably wanted them to take it to improve their cultivation, but I didn't expect them to use it to donate to charity."
Qi An gently shook his head: "It's alright, let them be. I'll prepare something else for them."
Qi An was somewhat helpless about this.
Neither she nor Fugui were kind people; it was already a good thing that they didn't actively harm the common people.
It's one thing that Xiao Yin arrived late. But Ata, who has been with them for so long, still retains a pure and righteous heart.
Tsk tsk, how come you haven't been influenced by such a fierce person as her?
This doesn't make sense!
But considering that the two little ones are innate treasures born from primordial energy over millions of years, they might be inherently good. Unlike her and Fugui, who have been infamous since ancient times.
Oh well, they're my own kids, I'll protect them myself. Let them do what they want.
"Sister An'an, look!"
Fu Gui suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Qi An's inner monologue.
Qi An looked closely and noticed that Ata and Xiao Yin had several wisps of golden "qi" on their bodies, which were...
The power of faith.
Qi An laughed.
The people of H country believe in ghosts and gods, and the things they do by pretending to be gods and ghosts have gained the faith of millions of people.
Those beliefs transformed into power, which was then given back to Ata and Little Yin.
Fu Gui also realized it and exclaimed, "So it's the power of faith. These two little guys are quite lucky, but there's still too little of a population. H country still has too few people."
Qi An chuckled and said, "Don't be greedy, it's quite a lot. Don't underestimate this small amount; it can't directly increase their cultivation, but it will be of great help to them when they overcome their tribulations in the future."
Those practitioners with the power of faith or the golden aura of merit will have a much higher success rate in overcoming tribulations.
Unexpectedly, this unintentional act turned out to be a windfall; we've made a profit this time.
The two were chatting and laughing when they suddenly stopped, clearly sensing a strong sense of resentment coming towards the void.
New worshippers have come to the door.
They exchanged a glance, and Qi An waved his hand to dispel the light barrier, preparing to receive the guests.
The newcomer was a woman dressed in ancient attire, with a pretty and delicate appearance, but her soul was thickly shrouded in resentment.
The woman didn't cry or make a scene; she was just so angry that her teeth were grinding together as she spoke.
"My lords, I beg you to help me kill my enemy and save my mother. If you ever encounter that brain-dead idiot woman again, please teach her a lesson and cleanse her mind."
When she mentioned idiots and morons, she rolled her eyes dramatically.
Qi An and Fu Gui exchanged a glance. What could possibly make a traditional woman from ancient times utter such words as "brainless idiot"?
Qi An and Fu Gui were immediately intrigued.
Tell me, how did you die?
The woman replied, "I died twice. The first time, I was poisoned by that heartless scumbag who gave me a cup of poisoned wine. The second time, I was angered to death by that brainless woman."
Fu Gui stroked his chin: "It seems this is a long story. Tell me slowly."
"Okay. The story is indeed long, but it's also simple. It's just that I was blind and misjudged the person, and ended up doing all the work for someone else. I even lost my own life."
Qi An and Fu Gui perked up their ears without making a sound.
The woman chuckled self-deprecatingly and began to tell her story: "My name is Yunyan. I live in the Dacheng Dynasty. I am the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. My mother was the Prime Minister's wife's foot-washing maid..."
As the woman narrates her story, the first life unfolds, revealing the heartbreaking life of a heroine in an old-fashioned tragic novel.
Although Yunyan is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, she is an illegitimate daughter. Her mother was the Prime Minister's wife's foot-washing maid.
The Prime Minister's wife, Lady Han, came from the prestigious Han family, while Prime Minister Yun Zhihong was just a penniless young man, at most a bit handsome.
As it turned out, this poor boy was actually a reincarnation of the God of Literature, and he achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination that year, becoming the most outstanding scholar in the imperial examination.
When the top scholar rode through the streets on horseback, Han fell in love at first sight, and the two happily married, creating a beautiful story.
At Han's request, Yun Zhihong promised her that he would never take a concubine, which made many women in the capital envious.
After marriage, with the help of his wife's family, Yun Zhihong, who was already exceptionally talented, had a smooth career and had two children with his wife: their eldest son, Yun Jincheng, and their eldest daughter, Yun Jinxiu.
With success in both his career and family life, Yun Zhihong seemed to be a winner in life, and he became a little arrogant.
Once a man gets carried away, his inherent flaws become uncontrollable.
During Han's postpartum confinement, after drinking alcohol, he forcibly pulled Han's foot-washing maid, Caidie, onto the bed. Afterwards, he claimed that Caidie had seduced him and climbed into bed when he was not paying attention.
The Prime Minister's wife was about to kill Cai Die, but Yun Zhihong said that it was not advisable for the lady to bleed during her postpartum period, so it would be a good deed for Jinxiu.
"Let's pretend this never happened. From now on, Cai Die will still be Madam's foot-washing maid, and her life and death will be in Madam's hands."
Seeing that Yun Zhihong truly didn't care about Cai Die, Madam Han was unwilling to let this wretched woman go so easily, so she decided to keep her by her side and torment her.
Unexpectedly, Cai Die became pregnant. Madam Han was furious, and in the end, it was Yun Zhihong's mother who intervened and saved her life.
It wasn't that Granny Yun was particularly kind; rather, she had long disliked her daughter-in-law, Han, who, relying on her family's wealth, disregarded her and even forbade her son from taking a concubine.
In Granny Yun's eyes, her son was a literary star descended to earth, worthy of even a princess, and that Han's marriage to her son was a stroke of good fortune.
Anyway, based on the principle of causing trouble for the Han family, and considering that Cai Die might be carrying her grandchild, she insisted on protecting Cai Die.
During this time, Yun Zhihong watched the two women fight without uttering a single word.
With the help of Granny Yun, Cai Die gave birth to a child. When Granny Yun saw that the child wasn't born, she spat in disappointment and left.
"Pah, she's a worthless brat who's wasting all my efforts."
She abandoned the idea.
Because of the fact that this lowly woman had given birth to her husband's child, Madam Han continued to keep her as a slave, making her do all the dirty and heavy work.
So, as soon as Cai Die gave birth, she knelt down to wash Han Shi's feet despite her weak body, and took on all the chores without complaint.
Otherwise, how could the mother and daughter survive?
Cai Die gave her daughter a beautiful name: Yunyan.
She was sold by her parents when she was a child, and this daughter will be her only relative in this life.
She will raise her daughter.
