Chapter 16
"I'm afraid I can't help but crush you to death."
After Feng Jue finished speaking, he walked out angrily.
03Follow behind.
"No," it said.
It will not have any substance and cannot be crushed.
Feng Jue glared at it coldly and walked to the bedroom. The clothes he had prepared could no longer be worn. As 03 emerged from the wall, a long gown flew towards him. It was the one Feng Jue had just put on.
Yin Tong calmly passed through the clothes and stopped politely in front of the screen.
"Don't call yourself Lingshan anymore," Feng Jue said from behind the screen. "You can pass through walls and tiles, going anywhere as if you were in an empty space, just like a ghost. Change your name to Linggui!"
Judging from his tone, Feng Jue was still angry and was upset about being seen by 03 taking a bath.
03 apologized again and said, "If the host thinks this will make you calm down, I'm fine with it."
Feng Jue came out, her long hair tied up in front of her chest, and sat down in front of the dressing mirror with a cold expression, her tone was gloomy.
"Yeah, besides the mission, what else do you care about? It's just a name. I don't think you would mind even if I called you Gou Dan."
03Host, please calm down, "I still care about this."
The beautiful and gorgeous palace lord who is in charge of a city, what a bunch of bastards.
vulgar.
Too vulgar.
The window behind the dressing table was open, and a gentle mountain breeze blew in, carrying the fragrance of the garden's beautiful flowers and herbs, ruffling Feng Jue's hair. The woman sitting in front of the dressing table placed her palms on the table, calmed down, and shook her head.
Why would she bother with something that is not even a human being?
After all, you really can't crush it to death.
Feng Jue clenched his fists.
03, who was floating behind her, felt like crackling again. He looked at Feng Jue cautiously, wondering what the host was going to do.
Why are you sitting here all the time?
Now that we are sitting down, let’s talk. This is to bring the system and the host closer together.
"Host," 03 called out, "Can I lean on your shoulder?"
Feng Jue glanced at it sideways, and a familiar mocking smile appeared on his face. "Didn't you always stay in the nest whenever you wanted?"
Now you know how to ask?
Even if she doesn't allow it, can she still stop it?
After all, you can't kill it.
03 said humbly: "Then I'll stay in the nest for a while."
It floated over and landed on Feng Jue's shoulder.
Feng Jue looked at the mirror in surprise. 03 had said that no one in this world could see 03 except her, but she didn't expect that even
She, too, could not see 03's reflection in the mirror.
Feng Jue opened his palm and placed it under 03's body. Sure enough, there was no reflection.
03 I was curiously watching Feng Jue's actions and decided to ask her what she was doing when I heard a woman's greeting from outside the door. It was Siyi.
"Come in." Feng Jue said without emotion and put down his hand.
Siyi led several graceful women in. These women were there to help Feng Jue with her makeup. Seeing that Feng Jue was already dressed for the occasion, and that the clothes were not the ones she had prepared earlier, they were a little surprised. But they didn't dare to say anything, not even to look up at Feng Jue's face, and hurried forward to braid her hair.
Feng Jue said, "How dare that old immortal from Baishuimen enter Lanyang City?"
Her voice was cold and filled with anger, and the aura of a city lord was unleashed. The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the palace servants who were serving her lowered their heads even more and moved cautiously.
Siyi stood behind the crowd with a smile and said gently, "It seems that he really has the courage. Not only that, he said that he would only tell the Palace Master some things in person. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to ask the Palace Master to come out of seclusion."
Feng Jue didn't say anything. He looked at the back of her hand resting on the table. Her slender and delicate fingers were spread out, with two rings on her middle and pinky fingers respectively, the scarlet and jasper complementing each other.
"How's the investigation going?" she asked.
Siyi said slowly, "The palace maids in the main hall went around the Reward and Punishment Hall and found out that one of the disciples had been leaving the palace quite frequently recently, often going to the city to buy rouge and powder."
"Originally, she met a disciple of the Baishui Sect when she came down the mountain, and they fell in love. The palace's preparations for an apology were made by her and her lover when they were drunk and blurted out."
Feng Jue's face was as cold as ice.
Siyi said, "This incident is mainly due to her, and also due to the main palace steward's poor supervision. I will punish the steward and half of the palace servants in the main palace and send them to the outer gate to work in the city. As for the palace servants who can't control their mouths..."
She smiled and said softly, "I will grant her a chance to be with her lover, but I will forfeit 50% of my cultivation and expel her from Lanyang Palace."
Although it was a gentle voice, it made the palace servants around her tense up, and for a moment, breathing was inaudible in the room.
Lanyang Palace is divided into inner and outer gates. Disciples with superior character and talent enter the inner gate, receiving treatment a hundred times better than outer gate disciples and even becoming disciples of inner gate elders. Palace attendants who serve the main peak and the palace master are carefully selected from the outer gate during the Qi Refining stage. Because they are required to be on call at all times, they don't have to travel extensively to seek opportunities like other disciples. The palace provides them with a monthly allowance for cultivation, commensurate with the treatment of inner gate disciples.
If one day I get the favor of a certain peak elder, maybe I can be
Being accepted as a disciple, with such a safe and lucrative job, was something that made the outer disciples very jealous. Whenever there was a vacancy for an inner palace servant, many outer disciples would try every possible means to squeeze in. However, if one made a mistake, the consequences would be very serious.
There is no shortage of palace servants in the inner gate, but once you are expelled from the inner gate, it will be difficult to come back in this life.
Feng Jue was still looking at his fingers, his face lazy, and he said leisurely: "I don't think I can stay in prison any longer. You guys make some nail polish for me to use when I come back." The things about rewards and punishments that Siyi mentioned passed by her ears like the wind.
The palace maid who was dressing her responded quickly.
After the maid inserted the last golden hairpin into her hair, Feng Jue raised her hand to let them out. Several maids bowed their heads and took their leave. Before the last one stepped out of the inner room, Feng Jue suddenly said lazily, "I was so angry that I forgot to mention that your voice is very pleasant."
03, nestled in her shoulder, suddenly floated upwards, landing beside Feng Jue's ear, its rounded edge engulfing half a gold pendant. His voice, no longer flat and straightforward, seemed to possess human emotions, a gentle and cold tone.
03 Question: "Do you like it?"
Feng Jue stood up, stroking the hairpin and said "hmm".
Like the sound of a jade ring, like flowing ice in a clear spring, like a gentle breeze caressing the moon, like snow falling on a mountain. Feng Jue had her own judgment of things, and even as picky as she was, she couldn't find any fault with 03's voice and admitted it without hiding it.
"I do."
Siyi, who was serving at the side, looked surprised and suspicious, and shifted her gaze from Feng Jue to the palace maids who had stopped.
When dressing Feng Jue, the only palace maid who spoke had a flushed face, watery eyes, raised her sleeve to cover her lips, and looked at Feng Jue with a look of shock and shame.
Feng Jue was about to head to the main peak when he looked up and saw a palace servant blocking the door. He said coldly, "Why don't you go quickly?"
The newly painted forehead flower on her forehead was like the tail feathers of a fire phoenix, with golden lines carefully depicting the edge of the vermilion pattern. When she lowered her eyes to look at it, it was like a scorching flame, so piercing that people dared not look directly at it.
For a moment, all the shyness, surprise and affection disappeared. The palace maids kept silent, held their breath, and left the room without looking back.
"It's incomprehensible!" Feng Jue said unhappily. After that, he didn't hear Siyi's agreement, so he frowned and looked at her.
Siyi looked at Feng Jue, seemingly pondering something. Seeing Feng Jue's expression becoming increasingly worse, she suddenly came to her senses and bowed, "Palace Master, you have just entered the Golden Core stage. Is your cultivation going well?"
What are you saying? Of course it's going well. How could she ever have bad luck?
Feng Jue glanced at Siyi, waiting for her to explain.
"As long as everything goes well, I'm glad. But I've noticed that the Palace Master has been mumbling to himself a lot lately, and I can't help but worry. If you have time, would you like to... go to the Inner Demon Chamber?"
Siyi spoke carefully and softly, and was not surprised to see Feng Jue's face change drastically.
Feng Jue's expression was very complicated, and finally turned into anger.
She had been pampered since she was little, clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and had been treated like a star. She could do whatever she wanted, and even after being pestered by 03, she didn't care much, and was too lazy to communicate with 03 through telepathy. To others, she was naturally talking to herself. Feng Jue felt embarrassed and glared at 03 fiercely.
And there's the bathhouse incident just now.
New anger and old rage surged up at once, and 03 was about to be killed by the look again.
But it doesn’t matter, 03 has already mastered how to get along with Feng Jue.
"Feel free to glare at me if that makes you feel good," 03 said.
The new voice was as soft as moonlight, as light as lake water, and as cool as the mountain breeze. It whispered softly into Feng Jue's ear, "I'm fine. As long as you're happy."
