Chapter 36: My rules are the rules
"The fact that Junior Sister can understand runes needs to be kept secret for now. Please send over a few books on talismans when you get back." Li Chengdao.
He is gifted and self-taught.
It's a genius.
But sometimes, it also means being an outlier.
There is only a thin line of window paper between genius and outlier.
"Senior Brother is really thoughtful." Li Hun nodded in approval.
Qin Yinyao was watching from the side, wow, Senior Brother Li Hun really looks like a married man.
[Let's enjoy our tea and leisurely sitting, what a refined atmosphere!] A sinister voice sounded, somewhat with a hint of gnashing teeth.
"How many pounds of gunpowder did this take?" Qin Yinyao glanced in the direction of the Night Wanderer.
The Night Wanderer immediately apologized with a smile: [Your Highness... Miss, you must be joking. I'm here on the orders of the City God to deliver the Soul Nourishing Pill to you.]
A gloomy aura carried a wooden box to the stone table. "While the Soul-Nourishing Pills aren't considered precious, the City God Temple doesn't have many of them. The City God has instructed that there are twenty of them here. Saving a few will last you a long time."
[A continuous supply is really... unrealistic.]
"It's a continuous supply, and it doesn't say it's given whenever you want it." Qin Yinyao didn't buy it: "Then give me twenty pills every month."
Night Wanderer: [My dear lady, this humble official cannot make the decision.]
"It's okay, just go back and tell the City God about this." Qin Yinyao didn't care.
He picked up a piece of preserved fruit from the fruit bowl beside him and put it into his mouth. The sour and sweet taste spread out, and a satisfied smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"And there's Hua Niang's wish." She spat out the core.
He glanced around the yard and saw Hua Niang hiding under the eaves: "Come here, the sun is not so harsh now, son."
Hua Niang floated over lazily: "After all, there is sun, and it is uncomfortable."
"That's right. After all, they are ghosts. Even if they are evil spirits, they can't escape the laws of nature." Qin Yinyao said with a hint of meaning: "The Yin officials are different. They can come and go freely during the day and night."
Hua Niang was able to survive for many years in that devil's cave surrounded by tigers and wolves. She must have some intelligence and vision.
He immediately said, "My wish is to become a ghost messenger, even the lowest one will do, so that I can personally protect my master for the City God Temple!"
Night Wanderer: [???]
Are you serious?
Are you serious? Huh?!
Become a Yincha and protect His Highness on behalf of the City God Temple.
Doesn't that mean you want to be a ghost messenger without doing anything? You're just trying to get something for nothing!
"My dear Miss, this... this is a matter of great importance. The affairs of the Yin official are not something that a small official can influence. Moreover, Miss Hua Niang has committed many sins and is a powerful..."
"Pah!"
Qin Yinyao raised her hand and pushed the cup beside her to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
With a frown and cold eyes, a trace of spiritual power emanated from his delicate face, without any anger or resentment. He just lowered his eyes with an indifferent look.
In an instant, the Night Wanderer felt that he was short of breath, just like a living person.
It was also like an invisible soul being squeezed by an invisible force.
It's extremely uncomfortable.
Li Cheng and others who were nearby turned pale in an instant, their internal energy became chaotic, and it seemed as if their breathing was taken away.
"Why did she become a fierce ghost? Do I need to explain it to you in detail?" Qin Yinyao's voice was steady and intimidating without anger. "Don't try to fool me with such words.
"If you can't make the decision, ask the City God to come and talk to me."
The Night Wanderer felt a cold sweat break out, but he was also a ghost, so he didn't sweat: "Miss, please calm down. I will report this to the City God and carefully think of a solution."
Fearing that Qin Yinyao wouldn't believe him, he added, "I'll definitely find a proper way to give Miss Hua Niang an identity."
Qin Yinyao restrained her breath, and the stagnant air around her immediately became active.
He chuckled and said, "Master Chenghuang is the most reasonable. I will wait for your news then."
Night Wanderer: [……]
I feel so sad, but I have no one to talk to.
When I came, they only said they would give me pills, but they didn't say I would have to endure this suffering.
God bless you, he just thought he was going to die.
Li Cheng and his companions silently took out pills and took one each to calm their internal breath.
The rest was given to Nanny Xia: "Nanny and Miss Chunqi will feel better after eating one. Also give one to the others in the courtyard."
If Nanny Xia had not been trained by the royal family and had not had the demeanor ingrained in her bones, she would not have been able to stand just now.
After taking the medicine, the bottle was given to Chunqi to distribute.
The people like Ying Yi who were originally guarding in the dark, from Ying Yi to Ying Si, only looked pale and ugly.
Shadow Five to Shadow Ten, whose martial arts skills were not as good as the previous ones, could not suppress the blood oozing from their throats, and it just hung at the corners of their mouths.
Very embarrassed.
But that's not the point.
The point is... the ten people exchanged glances.
I have learned a little more about the secret of beheading.
Qin Yinyao had just released her spiritual power and roughly knew the situation of Ying Yi and the others.
She had no ill intentions, so Ying Yi and the others just couldn't bear it for a moment, their internal energy became a little confused, and they vomited blood.
Just take that pill and rest and you'll be fine.
The worst person in the whole yard is the night wanderer.
The pressure just now was directed directly at him.
Seeing Qin Yinyao's expression relax, Ye Youshen breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go back and recuperate quickly.
Then Qin Yinyao continued, "We're all idle anyway, and the sun isn't that scorching right now, so why not let the idle ghost messengers have a chat?"
"Meet up with some of the brothers. We'll have to interact with each other in the future, so it's helpful to get to know each other in advance."
"how?"
She took the new teacup that Xia An brought her, and brewed the magical tea she brought back from the City God Temple.
Night Wanderer: [...Miss, sorcerers have many methods to use, such as talismans and incense, but dealing directly with the ghost messenger is not the best.]
[Yin and Yang have different paths, this is against the rules.]
This won’t work!
Although the chores are similar, what if you develop feelings for each other?
Living people will die, but people always don’t want to die. What will the ghost messenger do when the time comes?
"I know this is against the rules, but there are so many things that are against the rules, this is not the worst."
Qin Yinyao sipped her tea and said, "Besides, there's a saying... When a general is on the battlefield, he may not obey military orders."
“Here…” She looked up at the sky and said meaningfully, “My rules are the only rules.”
Although I don’t know if it’s Sima Ming or someone else behind the barrage.
But they definitely knew what she was doing, and she just wanted to piss off these old guys.
Go to the lower world if you want to, and go through trials if you want to. There is no such thing as settling personal grudges. You should just kick him down.
【6.】
The barrage appeared.
Qin Yinyao raised her eyebrows and asked provocatively, "Or should I invite the prince over and let him talk to you?"
The words were spoken to the Night Wanderer, but they were actually meant for the "bullet screen" to hear.
Barrage: [Goodbye, have fun. ]
Li Cheng and his fellow apprentices, Aunt Xia, and others: "???"
This information, whether you understand it or not, is a fatal disaster!
Especially Nanny Xia and several maids.
"Don't panic, Ma'am. It's okay. We are all family." Qin Yinyao comforted.
It's her business if she likes to play, and it's her business if she wants to piss off those old guys, but she doesn't want to scare the people around her to death.
"Oh yes, including the one who eavesdropped, they are all one of us."
She looked at Li Ming, her gaze falling on the aura that did not belong to Li Ming.
