Wen Ziqing felt a pain on the tip of his tongue, and his mind became clear again.
In his previous life, Wen Ziqing left for a few days due to urgent matters. As a result, when he came back, Zhou Yuanyuan had become a dilapidated corpse.
Wen Ziqing's heart ached as he recalled Zhou Yuanyuan's tragic end in her previous life. While Zhou Yuanyuan was much stronger in this life, there was always someone stronger than the last. If Zhou Yuanyuan suffered misfortune again because of his absence, Wen Ziqing feared he would go mad.
In this life, he would never let go of Zhou Yuanyuan's hand. In death, they would be together. In life, they would be together.
After Wen Ziqing made up his mind, he said to Kong Ming: "Kong Ming, goodbye, I won't go to the underworld."
"Wow~!" Kong Ming couldn't help but burst into tears.
How could Kong Ming be so unlucky, contracting a master who wouldn't listen to anyone, no, wouldn't listen to Ling Bao's advice? It wasn't like it was trying to persuade its master to endure hardship and become an immortal! If its master didn't want such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be unable to fulfill its mission in this life?
Can it afford the consequences of failing to complete its mission?
The more Kong Ming thought about it, the sadder he became, and he cried until he fainted.
Wen Ziqing said nothing, sitting on the tree fork and looking up at the stars.
The stars are so bright tonight! When will he have time to watch the stars with Yuanyuan? How about taking Yuanyuan here for a few days on his next day off? The unscrupulous owner Wen Ziqing's thoughts drifted to his own little girl again.
Kong Ming felt Wen Ziqing's inner thoughts and was so angry that he had to stop sobbing.
"Kong Ming, look...we have different pursuits. In this case, we might as well terminate the contract and go our separate ways. What about you?" Wen Ziqing suggested.
"Let's go our separate ways? Master, you are so light-hearted. In our Kongming clan, we can only have one master in our lifetime..." Kongming's voice became softer and softer.
"So, even if Yan Hei wants to snatch you away, it will be useless?" Wen Ziqing discovered the loophole in Kong Ming's words and asked a sharp question.
"Yes, master." Kong Ming answered reluctantly.
"But my mission in this time and space is to assist the master in managing the underworld. If you are unwilling to be the King of the Underworld now, I cannot complete my mission. Then, I will be punished by the Tao! Master, you can't just watch me die, can you?" Kong Ming cried.
Wen Ziqing suddenly understood. No wonder Kong Ming had been urging him to go to the underworld, but had never mentioned canceling the contract. It turned out Kong Ming had come with a mission. He didn't understand why this fool hadn't done it before.
"Kong Ming, I will definitely not go to the underworld. As for your mission, can you think of other ways? Or I can lend you to Yan Hei, and you help him manage the underworld. In this way, Yan Hei doesn't have to shout at me to kill, and you can also complete the mission. What do you think?" After Wen Ziqing pondered for a while, he made such a suggestion that was similar to playing a gray ball.
So? Even if it doesn't work, is the master willing to go to the underworld? Kong Ming snorted.
"Kong Ming, I'm serious. I can't help you with your mission. The only thing I can do is to lend you to Yan Hei." Wen Ziqing emphasized with a serious face.
"Okay, master, but I don't know that doing this can be considered as completing the mission. Master, how about we just ignore it for now and wait until Yan Hei really comes and ask him first?" Kong Ming didn't dare to continue complaining.
Seeing that Kong Ming finally reached a consensus with him, Wen Ziqing expressed his satisfaction.
Kyoto leftovers
Zhou Yuanyuan ran to the Rainbow Bridge and searched for half an hour before finally finding a few books on the techniques of restraining breath. Only then did she leave her sea of consciousness with satisfaction.
"Zhuzhu." Zhou Yuanyuan called out in her heart.
"Master, Zhuzhu is here." Chaos Pearl quickly emerged from the trial world.
"Zhuzhu, please deliver something to Brother Ziqing for me." Zhou Yuanyuan handed Chaos Pearl a jade slip that she had just engraved on.
"Wen Ziqing is back in Kyoto?" Chaos Pearl was surprised. Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't avoided the Chaos Pearl when communicating with Wen Ziqing. Wen Ziqing, who was deep in the mountains and forests just a few minutes ago, couldn't possibly be back in Kyoto in just a few minutes?
"No Ying." Zhou Yuanyuan closed her eyes, felt it for a while, and said to Chaos Pearl: "Brother Ziqing is now on Canglong Mountain, 1,200 kilometers away from Kyoto City. Zhuzhu, if you go now, you will be back in half an hour at most."
"No, no, Boss Yu, I can't leave your side until the mirror comes back." Chaos Pearl rejected Zhou Yuanyuan's request for the first time.
"Oh my! Zhuzhu, you fly so fast! How would Yu know if you didn't?" Zhou Yuanyuan was anxious. If she wasn't afraid that her presence would make Wen Ziqing suspect of leaking secrets, Zhou Yuanyuan would have delivered the item herself long ago. Why would she need to beg for the Chaos Pearl?
"No, no, Boss Yu will beat me to death. Master, please have mercy on me! Boss Yu is so fierce, Zhuzhu is afraid of him!" Chaos Pearl said pitifully.
"What should we do? How about we go together?" Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to come up with this idea. As long as she didn't show up near Wen Ziqing, it shouldn't affect their training...right?
"Master, if Yan Hei has locked onto your breath, will he follow the clues and snatch Kong Ming away?" Chaos Pearl blinked and asked hesitantly.
That's right! What if Yan Hei's intention to chat with me was fake, and he was really trying to follow me to find Wen Ziqing and Kong Ming? Don't forget, Yan Hei's Black Jade Key is still in the Chaos Pearl's trial space! Who knows if Yan Hei has done anything to me?
After being influenced by the Chaos Pearl, Zhou Yuanyuan started to believe in conspiracy theories.
"Zhuzhu, don't use idioms randomly in the future. Follow the vines to find the melon? Do I look like a melon? Ugh! Like a vine? Wen Ziqing is not a melon either." Zhou Yuanyuan was very angry with Chaos Pearl.
"I know, Master." Chaos Pearl looked a little listless after being retorted by Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan was also worried. The Chaos Pearl wouldn't leave her side, and she was afraid Yan Hei would track her down. So, when would these aura-reducing techniques reach Brother Ziqing? She couldn't wait for Brother Ziqing to take a vacation, could she? What if Yan Hei came looking for her within the next two or three months?
Oh, and where's that Qiankun Mirror? If it were here, wouldn't the Chaos Pearl be free to run errands for me?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan cleared her throat and asked, "Ahem... Zhuzhu! Did that mirror guy tell you what he's been busy with recently? I remember he was just going to leave for a while last time. How come there's no news about him after half a year? Could he have taken my salary and run away?"
