Qiqi was really tired, and she had completely forgotten that she had forgotten to do her evening class.
She slept until the next morning. The little girl woke up groggily and saw her parents' faces magnified in front of her. Just as she was about to kiss them affectionately, she suddenly saw a wisp of purple mist falling through the window. Her consciousness returned, and she jumped out of bed.
Oh no, she forgot to do her evening class last night.
If the master finds out, he'll definitely spank her until her bottom is swollen.
"Qi Bao, why are you awake so early?" As soon as she moved, Madam Ji woke up as well.
The little girl slept soundly last night, but Mrs. Ji was a little worried that Qiqi might neglect her skincare routine in the middle of the night, especially since she had just been to the hospital due to exhaustion. So, she took the little girl back to their room and let her sleep with them.
Qiqi rolled over and tried to crawl off the bed. "Mommy, I have to do my morning class now."
“It’s okay to miss a day,” Madam Ji glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was only six o’clock. She scooped the little girl up and held her in her arms, kissing her cheek. “You overexerted yourself yesterday. The doctor said you need to rest. I believe that even if your master finds out, he will understand.”
Qiqi tilted her head back and snuggled affectionately against Madam Ji. "Mommy, don't worry, I'm much better now. Besides, back in the mountains, no matter how sick we were, Master always made sure we did our morning and evening prayers. Master said we couldn't skip them, otherwise we'd become lazy and develop a bad habit. Once that habit is formed, it's hard to break! I forgot to do my evening prayers last night, and if I don't do my morning prayers again, Master will definitely be angry!"
"What are you afraid of? Dad will back you up!" Ji Chengfeng was awakened by the voices of Qiqi and Madam Ji. Still not fully awake, he instinctively moved closer to them out of love for his wife and child. He hugged and kissed his wife, then affectionately pinched Qiqi's cheek. "Besides, isn't your master..."
"Smack!"
Before Ji Chengfeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Madam Ji slapping him on the shoulder.
The pain jolted Ji Chengfeng's muddled mind back to reality. He realized he had almost said something and was immediately annoyed.
The fact that her master and fellow apprentices all met with misfortune was already a source of pain for her.
If he really said that, it would be like stabbing his little girl in the heart.
Madam Ji glared at him, then cautiously looked at her little girl. Seeing that the little girl didn't seem to notice, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and picked the little girl up, and then lifted the quilt and got out of bed herself.
"Then you do your morning class, and Mom will go prepare breakfast for you."
"Thank you, Mom." Qiqi turned around, gave Madam Ji a crisp smile, then opened the door and ran back to her room.
She wanted to release the female ghost from the red rope to clear away the last resentment, but she was worried that the resentment would affect her father's health if it stayed in her parents' room.
Back in her room, Qiqi released the female ghost.
Compared to the beginning, the resentment on the female ghost was almost invisible, and the entire ghost exuded a clear and pure aura.
There was even a faint trace of pure spiritual energy.
In that case, even if she is sent to the underworld and doesn't want to be reincarnated, she can still work as a ghost messenger there.
"After today, you can go to the underworld," Qiqi said to the female ghost. "If you have any wishes, tell me as soon as possible."
"Thank you, young master. I have no more regrets."
The female ghost looked at Qiqi with gratitude. She was able to be where she was today entirely thanks to the little master who used his spiritual power to help her clear away resentment and nourish her soul every day.
Qiqi nodded, sat cross-legged by the window, and began her morning class.
The female ghost sat down beside her, calmly sensing the spiritual energy emanating from Qiqi's body, and felt her heart calm down as well.
The half-hour morning lesson was quickly completed. Qiqi opened her eyes and saw that there was no longer any resentment on the female ghost. She nodded in satisfaction.
"Since you have no regrets, then I will open the gates of hell and send you to the underworld."
The female ghost stood up and bowed deeply to Qiqi, "Thank you, little master!"
"Of course."
Qiqi said politely, then raised her hand to begin forming a hand seal.
The originally complicated hand seal movements were performed by her as if she were doing a hand gesture dance. If it weren't for the fact that the little girl's hands were too small and her fingers too short, the scene would have been truly pleasing to the eye.
As Qiqi completed her final hand seal, a gust of cold wind rose from the ground in the bedroom, and a dark, ancient, carved door slowly opened in mid-air.
Wearing a black top hat and carrying a mourning stick, the ghost messenger Dong Jiu, dressed entirely in black, walked out of the gates of hell.
When Dong Jiu saw Qi Qi, a smile bloomed on his face.
However, the smile looked rather sinister on his deathly pale face.
"Hey, little girl, it's you." Dong Jiu greeted Qi Qi warmly. "Why hasn't the Ghost Gate been open for so long? Is it because you haven't found a suitable ghost?"
Even if Dong Jiu's smile was strange, Qi Qi still felt a sense of familiarity towards him.
"I haven't encountered many ghosts lately, but I should be able to send another one down in a couple of days." Once she understands the situation with the Su family, she will send Su Zimu down.
“Alright, I happen to be on vacation right now, and I’m free anyway. As long as you open the gates of hell and send the ghost down, I’ll come and pick it up myself.” Dong Jiu said it as if he was reluctant, but his eyes were actually shining with excitement.
For some reason, this little girl always gave him a very warm feeling, making him want to do more for her.
The last time I had this feeling was with their senior sister.
But the little girl in front of him had nothing in common with his senior sister, so it was strange that he would have such a thought.
Qiqi squinted at him, a sweet smile on her face, "Then thank you, Brother Dongjiu!"
Dong-gu felt really good when Dong called him "brother".
Back when he was in the sect, he was the youngest in the hierarchy, with older brothers and sisters above him. He dreamed of hearing someone call him "brother".
Unexpectedly, this dream came true a thousand years later.
It was with a young girl whom he was willing to treat as he would his senior sister.
In a way, this fulfills a wish that I couldn't realize back then!
After exchanging pleasantries with Qiqi, Dong Jiu turned to look at the female ghost she was about to have him take away.
The female ghost did not possess any of the resentment or malevolence that a ghost should have; her ghostly power was even intertwined with wisps of spiritual energy.
Dong Jiu raised an eyebrow. "She cultivated spiritual power while in ghost form, and you want her to become a ghost messenger?"
"It's up to her." Qiqi blinked, stretched her arms and yawned. "She's pitiful too, so I'm just paving another path for her."
Dong Jiu looked at the nonchalant girl, who was quite similar to his senior sister in this respect.
He always thinks of others in this way, regardless of whether the other person is a human, a ghost, a demon, or a monster.
