Qi Wenyao ultimately failed to burn the portrait.
Not only did they fail to burn the portrait, but they also failed to do so.
His father even withheld his allowance for the second half of the year.
At that moment, Sheng Ning was standing to the side. When she heard Qi Wenyao's wailing, she looked up at the gloomy sky.
Thankfully, the sky didn't fall.
Qi Wenyao's wailing sounded so loud that anyone listening to it thought the sky had fallen.
Even after she returned to the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying at the Qi family's residence, Qi Wenyao's sorrowful expression remained unchanged.
She stopped in her tracks, watching helplessly as the other person was about to crash into her arms.
A large hand slapped the other person on the forehead just in time.
The crisp sound of someone being slapped on the forehead immediately echoed in the courtyard.
Qi Wenyao's eyes widened as he covered his forehead with his hand. If he removed his hand, Sheng Ning and his sister could still see the handprint on his forehead.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, why did you hit me?!"
He was walking along just fine, but he was still feeling bad about the allowance he had been deducted from.
Lu Jingshen's slap completely shattered his mentality.
His eyes reddened, and a sob escaped his throat, "Even you're bullying me, my allowance..."
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Lu Jingshen couldn't help but twitch his lips. "If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would Fellow Daoist Qi forgive me?"
"No way!" Qi Wenyao glared at him. "Unless you give me a hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
He earns a hundred high-grade spirit stones for every bid; he's really good at business.
Feeling secretly pleased, he suppressed a smile and opened his palm to Lu Jingshen.
Seeing that he looked like he was either paying for it himself or he was going to cry, Lu Jingshen took a deep breath and was about to take out his mustard bag.
Just as he was about to make a move, a slender, pale finger touched his arm and stopped him.
“I can give you money,” Sheng Ning looked up and met Qi Wenyao’s eyes. “I can not only give you a hundred high-grade spirit stones, but I can give you more.”
"Just do one thing for me."
If Sheng Ning had said these words when they first met, Qi Wenyao would have nodded in agreement without hesitation.
But he had already spent some time with Sheng Ning.
During this time, he witnessed the power of a person having eight hundred schemes in their mind.
Therefore, after Sheng Ning said these words, his first thought was not to nod in agreement, but to look at the other party with a wary expression.
"What is it? Tell me first. If it's simple, I'll agree, but if it involves burning portraits..."
"No way! I absolutely won't do it!"
His allowance for half a year! His dad is so rich, yet he's still so stingy. He deserves to become a pervert!
Seeing the wary look on his face, Sheng Ning raised the corners of her lips and said, "It's nothing difficult."
"There are still nearly half a year before the Northern Secret Realm opens, and my senior brothers have all gone into seclusion."
"As their junior sister, I naturally don't want to fall behind."
When she finished speaking, Qi Wenyao and Lu Jingshen understood what she meant.
Qi Wenyao looked her up and down and asked, "Are you going into seclusion?"
Sheng Ning nodded, "I will bring my third senior brother with me, but my companions will be left unattended, so I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Qi for a favor."
As they spoke, Sheng Ning took out a mustard seed bag containing all sorts of rare and precious treasures from the Qi family's treasury.
"If they can absorb these, then give them to them; if they can't, Fellow Daoist Qi, you can keep them."
Qi Wenyao looked at the mustard seed bag in her hand and suddenly fell silent.
So Sheng Ning wants him to use the Qi family's money to help support her 'partners'?
It seems like no matter how you calculate it, I'm losing money.
Qi Wenyao opened his mouth, about to say something, when Sheng Ning took out another mustard seed bag, "This contains spiritual fruits and plants."
This mustard seed bag does not contain the treasures from the Qi family's treasury.
Upon hearing that the mustard seed bag contained spiritual fruits and plants, Qi Wenyao's eyes immediately lit up. "Oh dear, how could I possibly accept this..."
"This is food for them."
Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Ning added something that made his smile vanish instantly.
"So many spiritual fruits and plants, all of them top-grade, you mean this is their rations?"
Does she want to hear what she's saying?
Although Bai Ze and Xuanwu are both divine beasts, eating some spiritual fruits and plants is nothing to them.
But what kind person would use top-grade spiritual fruits and plants to raise beasts?
"Is there a problem? I've always raised them this way." Sheng Ning blinked, puzzled.
She had never seen anyone else keep spirit pets or spirit beasts; the only one, the Vermilion Bird, was kept in the basement.
Is there anything wrong with her raising her companion this way?
Qi Wenyao was immediately silenced.
He said awkwardly, "There's no problem, it's just that, you gave all of these to them, so I..."
Seeing the awkward expression on his face, Sheng Ning suddenly smiled and said, "Of course you'll get your share."
She has made a lot of money selling Qingxin Pills and traditional Chinese medicine during this period.
Some cultivators in the Northern Region may be poor, but they may possess a great deal of rare and precious treasures.
She found a mustard seed bag filled with spirit stones and stuffed it into his palm. "There are 50,000 high-grade spirit stones here. I will bring them back when I wake up in six months."
Seclusion is extremely boring and tedious.
Sheng Ning believed that her friends would definitely have the patience to stay with her.
However, she was reluctant to leave them and continued to stay with her in seclusion.
The Northern Region is so vast; as the young master of the Qi family, Qi Wenyao might one day discover a way to save the divine beast.
So she handed Bai Ze and the others over to Qi Wenyao.
Only the potentially wicked Gou Sheng and the pig-like insect that clung tightly to his wrist after he came out of the consciousness space remained by his side.
Bai Ze was with Sheng Ning not long ago.
Upon hearing that she was going into seclusion for a while, the tiny kitten immediately showed a reluctant expression.
Bai Ze raised his paw and patted the back of her hand, looking at her expectantly, "Sheng Ning, you need to get out of seclusion soon."
The white tiger and the giant python next to them were originally entangled and playing together.
Hearing this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, looked up at Sheng Ning, and said, "Little girl, you're going into seclusion? Fine, you're too weak."
The giant python raised its tail and slammed it hard on its head. "Can't you speak properly? Do you think you're so strong?"
Having consumed many spiritual fruits and cultivated for a long time in Sheng Ning's spiritual space, the white tiger has already advanced to the next level.
Sheng Ning was able to injure them when she was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone now that she is at the same level as them.
The giant python's cold sneer did not anger the white tiger.
It chuckled and said, "I can't beat the little girl, so I'll work hard to cultivate myself."
It raised its head and met Sheng Ning's eyes.
"Don't let us down when you emerge from seclusion in six months."
"Of course." Sheng Ning looked at his companions in front of him, a smile playing on his lips.
She reached out and patted Bai Ze's little head. She then followed Lu Jingshen to the secluded pavilion that the Qi family had specially built for Qi Wenyao.
