Inside the inn, An Ge and Lu Yan sipped their tea, listening to the discussions about the grand ceremony.
Lu Yan was puzzled. "You went to so much trouble to create hype for him, why don't you come out yourself? That way you can also promote our inn."
"You don't understand. In the hearts of the people, no god can compare to the power of a true dragon. Besides, it's much easier this way."
Creating the dragon Ange didn't take much effort at all; she had holographic projection equipment in her space, and the projected images were almost indistinguishable from reality.
Meng Xia gave me this simple device because I couldn't enter the virtual world without identity verification. I never expected it to come in handy today.
"The dragon race is not as powerful as mortals think. Even the young master of the dragon race can't beat Hu Jiu."
"That's because my Hu Jiu is even more capable. What are you so smug about?"
Lu Yan wisely shut up; he couldn't argue with the couple.
After the ceremony for the crown prince's inauguration, An Ge went to meet with Feng Jinghan. Now the crown prince, Feng Jinghan was still the same as before, only now he appeared even more spirited and confident.
"I don't know when we'll meet again after this parting." Feng Jinghan was a little reluctant. He was no longer a carefree prince and had many things to deal with in the capital. "Don't worry, shopkeeper. I've temporarily handed over Huaixi City to Shen Qingshuang. Just ask him if you need anything."
Originally, Huaixi City should have been the prince's fiefdom, but Feng Jinghan intended to change the current political landscape, so he adopted the county system he learned at the inn to redistribute power.
Shen Qingshuang is highly talented and has a good relationship with the store manager, making her the perfect candidate.
An Ge said mysteriously, "That's not necessarily true."
Seeing Feng Jinghan's puzzled look, she didn't say anything more, preparing to give Feng Jinghan a surprise later.
She can now draw level three arrays, although she's not quite proficient at drawing teleportation arrays yet. With more practice, she'll surely succeed. An Ge decided to draw the teleportation array before leaving the capital.
Anyway, she has plenty of materials in her space, so she doesn't mind wasting some.
After leaving the palace, An Ge went straight to Princess Chang Le's residence. Whether the male ghost was good or bad, it wasn't a good thing for him to stay by Feng Chang Ge's side. Before leaving, she didn't mind playing the role of a ghost-catching master.
Feng Changge was still overjoyed to see An Ge arrive when she heard An Ge's words.
Her eyes widened in shock. "Does the store manager know what the other person looks like?"
An Ge looked at the man, who was also somewhat shocked by her words, and after thinking for a moment, described his clothes and expression. Fearing that Feng Changge might be frightened, she added, "You don't need to worry too much, I don't think he has any ill intentions towards you."
Unexpectedly, Feng Changge was already in tears after hearing her words, and even Momo beside her couldn't help but wipe away her tears with her sleeve.
"Yi Yang, is that you? So you've always been here." As Feng Changge finished speaking, the man couldn't help but cry, but unfortunately, he was now a spirit and had no tears.
Seeing An Ge's puzzled look, Feng Changge explained, "That's my consort. I never imagined he'd still be by my side all these years." With that, she took out a purse and pulled out a talisman from inside.
"When my husband passed away, I was devastated. Suddenly, an old Taoist priest came to my door and gave me this talisman, saying that it could bring my husband back and calm his soul. At the time, I was desperate and would try anything, so I believed him."
"For so many years, though I haven't seen the Prince Consort, I've always kept him in my heart, hoping it would bring me peace. I never expected he would actually return. Shopkeeper, may I see the Prince Consort?"
An Ge was surprised by the old man's skills and was about to shake her head when she heard Feng Changge's words. Lu Yan, who had been silent all along, said, "I can temporarily open your Yin-Yang eyes."
Lu Yan's purple spiritual power surged in and swept across Feng Changge's eyes. When Feng Changge opened her eyes again, she saw the prince consort smiling at her.
Not wanting to disturb their reunion, An Ge, led by Momo, found a place to sit.
After everyone left, An Ge asked curiously, "When did you learn charlatan techniques?"
Lu Yan, with an air of superiority, said, "What do you mean by 'charlatan's methods'? Do you know that demons and monsters are all one family? I am at least half a demon, so it's not a big deal for me to have the ability to see ghosts. Your Hu Jiu can do it too."
"Teach me when you have time." She had at least opened her third eye, but it was still too painful to be powerless against ghosts.
"Go away, let your man teach you. I don't want to be your teacher anymore." Lu Yan felt a headache coming on when he thought about the days when An Ge pestered him to teach her formations.
"Tch, if you don't want to teach, then don't. Hu Jiu is a better teacher than you."
The two bickered for a while, then heard Momo say that Feng Changge's side had already finished.
An Ge saw that Feng Changge's eyes were still a little red, but she seemed to be in good spirits, which put her at ease.
"Thank you both. Now that my mind is at peace, please send the prince consort to where he belongs." Xiao Yiyang saw through the actions of the second branch of the family and stopped thinking only of the Xiao family, which made her feel much more at ease.
Xiao Yiyang bowed to the two of them, his eyes filled with reluctance as he looked at Feng Changge.
Lu Yan, following An Ge's orders, opened the Gate of Hell and sent Xiao Yiyang inside. Only after the Gate of Hell disappeared did An Ge inform Feng Changge that Xiao Yiyang had already left.
"That's fine too."
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief as the two walked out of the Princess's residence.
"Look at you, so full of yourself? You have Old Hu's mark on you, what ghost would dare to disrespect you? If any ghost bullies you, do you believe Old Hu can storm the Underworld Palace in the next second?"
"Knowing is one thing, being afraid is another. You don't understand."
Lu Yan shrugged. "Now that everything's done, why don't we have some more time to explore? I haven't had a proper chance to see the sights of Beijing since I came here so long ago."
At this point, Lu Yan felt a little depressed. He had originally thought he would have some fun after coming out, but it turned out he was only doing hard labor.
"I'll be working on drawing the teleportation array these next few days. You can keep an eye on things from there."
Lu Yan looked up at the sky and sighed, his face showing utter despair.
After several days of tireless effort, An Ge finally managed to draw a teleportation array, albeit after wasting a lot of materials.
"I'm so amazing! I've set up the teleportation array, so people from the capital won't have to waste time and effort getting to the inn anymore. Oh, I almost forgot, I also need to set up the teleportation fee." An Ge looked at the small array and could already see a lot of coins flying towards her.
After another day of hard work, the teleportation array was finally completed.
However, two teleportation arrays are required for a successful teleportation; she plans to set up the other one after returning to the inn.
Speaking of which, there's a teleportation array in the backyard of the inn that would allow her to return to the inn at any time in case of danger, but it's too expensive, so she hasn't used it yet.
An Ge explained the teleportation array to Feng Jinghan, and unsurprisingly, Feng Jinghan was overjoyed. She decided to place the teleportation array outside the palace to meet the needs of most of the people.
With everything settled, An Ge set off on her way back to the inn, despite Lu Yan's reluctant gaze.
