Chapter 6: Walking on Your Feet
At the moment when the rocks under Qin Yinyao's feet collapsed, the terrified City God rushed out.
He used his magic power to lift the person up and gently put him down, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness! Ancestor! Aunt, what are you doing?"
He patted his chest, which had no heartbeat but was trembling with fear: "I have a lot of paperwork, and I didn't notice you coming, so I was delayed for a while. How could you hang yourself!"
"Heh." Qin Yinyao snorted coldly.
If I hadn't read the comments, I would have believed the City God's words: "Stop talking nonsense. What do I need to do in this training?"
"Besides the emotional hurdle, there is indeed another mission."
The City God smiled and spoke cautiously, "But it doesn't say it explicitly. It only says 'do what you want.'"
Hearing this, Qin Yinyao frowned: "Just do what you want?"
What kind of task is this?
Playing with her?
"Since Your Highness the Goddess has come to the lower world to gain experience, you can take a good look at this world." The City God suggested.
Qin Yinyao took note of this and secretly thought, for the time being, let's just follow Prince Long. He is the protagonist of this world's experience. Following him, I will always find the answer.
Having an idea didn't stop her from complaining: "Those old guys in heaven just love to do these fancy things."
"Also, pick me a helper."
There are a bunch of evil spirits in the mansion, and she needs a helper before she can regain her supernatural power.
Hearing the request, the City God felt overwhelmed: "Your Highness, the Goddess, all the people here are ghost officials!"
"Not to mention the inconvenience of walking around with you, everyone has their own job, and no one is free."
That makes sense.
Qin Yinyao thought for a moment and nodded, "Then show me the Yin and Yang Division's book and pick out a fierce ghost that can be released by human feelings, regardless of legal principles."
The Yin-Yang Division is responsible for managing the books of life and death, and the records of good and evil, providing a basis for rewarding and punishing the dead.
Regardless of whether they died recently, died a long time ago, died of old age, or died unjustly, as long as they had not been reincarnated, there would be a record in the book.
The City God had an even bigger headache.
What is a ghost?!
A vicious ghost caused by resentment, hatred that is hard to eliminate, heavy blood debts, and unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation!
How can such a ghost be forgiven?
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go back."
Qin Yinyao urged impatiently, "In this world, if a woman returns home late at night, it will affect her reputation."
[Kneeling down as punishment for one's parents, committing an insubordination, yet still caring about one's reputation?]
Qin Yinyao rolled her eyes.
You are too long-winded.
The City God was silent for a moment, but finally brought the notebook.
Qin Yinyao looked through it carefully for a while and was attracted by a fierce ghost named "Hua Niang".
"Bring this Hua Niang here, I want her." He closed the book and handed it back, giving a light instruction.
She killed her father and mother, her husband and her son, strangled the baby in her cradle, and burned her parents-in-law to death. How cruel!
"Goddess, this Hua Niang is a demon! I thought..."
The City God was terrified. What if he hurt Her Highness the Goddess?
"Shut up, I don't want you to think, I want myself to think."
Qin Yinyao ignored his persuasion and turned to walk outside: "I hope that when I get home, Hua Niang will already be in my yard."
Just as he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around.
He stared at the City God and spoke clearly: "There are bamboos in the temple, and officials are corrupt, and they will be punished. Spread this message and let them guess it too."
After saying this, he didn't stay any longer, left the City God Temple, got into the carriage, and returned home.
Inside the City God Temple, the City God and the Yin-Yang Division stared at each other, then looked at the Judge at the same time: "What should we do?"
The judge said: "Her Highness the Goddess asked for it, so we will give it to her. Even if the Goddess has no divine power at the moment, her soul is so powerful that it cannot be harmed by a mere evil spirit."
"That's true." The City God stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
He changed the subject and asked curiously, "Have you guessed the answer to the riddle Her Majesty the Goddess just asked?"
The judge sighed, turned around silently and went back to his work.
There are bamboos in the temple, which represent the word "wait".
Being an official corrupt or being given a warning both mean being beaten.
Do you still need to guess?
Do you want to ask Her Highness the Goddess to write on their faces?
After another hour of bumpy ride, it was completely dark when we returned home.
After getting off the carriage, a maid with an unfamiliar face trotted towards Qin Yinyao.
Before she could speak, she knelt down and begged anxiously, "Miss, please go and save Sister Dongning!"
The little girl was not very old, about twelve or thirteen, and her tender face and eyes were red from crying.
Qin Yinyao took a deep breath: "What happened to Dong Ning?"
"Not long after the eldest lady left the house, the second lady sent someone to arrest Sister Dong Ning."
"The eldest lady insisted on going out late at night. Sister Dongning, as a personal maid, was at fault for not being able to dissuade her."
"Not only will she be punished, but Sister Dongning will also be sold off."
"Where is Dongning now? Lead the way." Qin Yinyao said in a calm voice, with a frost in her beautiful eyes that were slightly narrowed.
"Sister Dongning is in the main courtyard." The little maid hurriedly stood up and walked forward holding her skirt.
Halfway through the journey, a woman in red clothes, with a pale face and half-loose hair, suddenly appeared beside Qin Yinyao.
The woman knelt down and saluted Qin Yinyao: "I am Hua Niang, and I am honored to meet you, my master."
"You've arrived just in time." Qin Yinyao glanced at the hem of her skirt, which was halfway off the ground, and warned her in a low voice, "Walk on your feet."
It's just floating like this, it's going to scare other people to death.
Hua Niang smiled charmingly: "Yes, Master, Hua Niang obeys your command."
She was delicate and boneless, and her every move was full of the air of worldly life, which made Qin Yinyao frown slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Following the little maid, we arrived at the main courtyard in just a few steps.
I saw the thin Dong Ning kneeling on the cobblestone path, staggering.
When Dong Ning heard the footsteps behind him, he did not turn around to check, but instead tensed up in fear.
Seeing this, Qin Yinyao narrowed her eyes slightly.
He quickly came to Dong Ning's side, helped him up, and looked at the little maid who led the way: "Help Dong Ning go to the main courtyard to rest."
"Miss...I have done nothing wrong!" Dong Ning's eyes became hot when she saw who was coming, and she could no longer control her tears.
A child who seemed to have been bullied and turned around to see his parents.
"It doesn't matter whether you made a mistake or not. You live in my house, and if there's any punishment or spanking, it's me who has to do it."
Qin Yinyao's pretty face was gloomy: "Go down and rest first, and ask someone to call a doctor to see the injury."
Dong Ning wanted to say something but was helped away by the maid.
Qin Yinyao stood where she was, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"What are you thinking about, Master?" Hua Niang relaxed her waist and rested her head on Qin Yinyao's shoulder.
It was just a question, but it felt oddly like flirting.
Qin Yinyao opened her eyes and looked Hua Niang up and down carefully.
Just as he was about to speak, several figures walked in from the courtyard gate.
Qin Yinshi, who was in the lead, wore a plain brocade dress decorated with flowers, with a pearl-grabbing hairpin inserted diagonally in her bun, and several jewel hairpins embellishing her hair.
As she walks, she looks like a small white flower covered in jewels.
"Sister is back. I was so worried." Qin Yinshi blinked her big watery eyes and spoke softly.
"Really?" Qin Yinyao lowered her head and sneered.
