Ke Meiyu wanted to cover her ears and pretend she had never heard anything. What kind of ghost clan had suddenly appeared?
Wang Di was oblivious to her emotions. He was working hard, burying himself in writing, all for that drink of unknown origin.
The Wangdi Pavilion witnessed almost the rise and fall of an entire dynasty. It knew every emperor of the Qing Dynasty and could recount their minor deeds. It can be said that it was also deeply influenced by these emperors.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it only uses its claws to draw characters; the characters are straight and upright, and have their own unique style, making them extremely beautiful and unrestrained!
“When the Qing Dynasty perished, I was afraid of divine retribution, so I hid in ancient books, which led to me being lost among the common people and missing the news of the closure of the gates of the Six Realms.”
"Then, for a steamed bun, I sold myself to Luo Jingfeng, and under his orders, I absorbed the luck of others, transforming his fate from a jinx to a lucky charm!"
"Yu Yiming is lucky to have become Luo Jingfeng's disciple. Luo Jingfeng's fate is already the best, with no room for improvement, so he asked me to assist Yu Yiming and help him change his fate."
"The Ghost Clan has endless tricks up their sleeves. I witnessed quite a bit of that during the time I was by Luo Jingfeng's side."
Although it is a mythical beast, Hou, which can be both cute and fierce, and can fight dragons without fear, making tigers and wolves kneel down in its presence, it also spends every day with the emperor and listens to many palace maids and eunuchs tell ghost stories.
Even though it's a fierce fighter, it's also incredibly timid...
“Young lady, the Ji family’s fortune has not only gone to Yu Yiming, but also to Luo Jingfeng’s disciples. The Ji family is a family with great fortune and good deeds, which is equivalent to a thousand ordinary people.”
Ke Meiyu sneered, "To put it bluntly, you're just a tool beast. Will the Ji family's fortune ever return?"
"You, a divine beast, failed to diligently supervise the Emperor, causing the Qing Dynasty to perish and millions of people to suffer from war and natural disasters for centuries! Countless innocent lives were lost because of you, without ever having the chance to see this colorful world or taste the delicious food that brings joy to the heart."
"Instead of atoning for your sins, you have become the henchman of evil people, reaching out to the people, including the Ji family who have accumulated good deeds for hundreds of years."
Don't you have a conscience?
"Do you deserve the title of a divine beast?"
"Are you still complaining? Any random dog or cat on the street, if captured and kept as a mythical beast, would do a better job than you!"
Wang Di was stunned by Ke Meiyu's words, and gradually, feeling ashamed, he shrank into a ball, his small body trembling.
Ke Meiyu couldn't help but wonder if she had been too harsh in her tone just now.
Or did she go a little too far?
In fact, Wangdi Chu is a divine beast, and it also has its own troubles.
However, it is also a fact that the Emperor Wangdi acted as an accomplice to the tyrant. To put it bluntly, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Ke Meiyu maintained her composure, "Tell me, how do you plan to make amends for your mistake?"
Wangdi moved a paw to create a small gap, its dark eyes filled with caution, and it let out a low growl, as if asking her what to do.
Ke Meiyu pinched her chin, suddenly remembering something, "When Luo Jingfeng assigned you to Yu Yiming, did you renew the contract?"
"Logically speaking, this kind of beast contract is particularly domineering and has many restrictions, including that you cannot leave your master too far away or for too long."
Wangdi lowered its two paws, tilted its little head adorably, and suddenly its eyes lit up. It nodded repeatedly, and its paws eagerly dipped in ink to write: "Yes, Luo Jingfeng drew runes on the ground and then performed a ceremony for the three of us."
"So, do you feel anything?" Ke Meiyu asked, slightly nervously. "How is it different from when you were contracted by Luo Jingfeng?"
Wang Di continued writing: "When I made a contract with Luo Jingfeng, I felt like he was the one who gave me life, which made me completely trust and love him, and I wished I could do anything for him."
"However, after that ceremony, I became affectionate with both him and Yu Yiming."
Ke Meiyu narrowed her eyes and confirmed many details with Wang Di. Then she couldn't help but snap her fingers. "I'll go back and prepare some things. We'll meet here again tomorrow night. Oh, and remember to make Yu Yiming suspicious of you and follow you here."
"There are some things I need to verify!"
Emperor Wang moved his head a couple more times, puzzled, but couldn't figure it out. So he simply stopped thinking about it and nodded to indicate that he would definitely do it.
Then it grinned, bared its teeth, and pushed the milk tea wrapper toward Ke Meiyu, wagging its tail vigorously.
It also shouted in various strange and emphatical ways, "Daddy, Daddy..." almost using all four tones!
Ke Meiyu smacked its head in exasperation, "You, if you hadn't run into me, you would have suffered a great loss sooner or later."
"You have committed too many sins. From now on, you should behave yourself and atone for your sins."
Emperor Wang nodded repeatedly, saying that as long as there was food, everything was negotiable.
Ke Meiyu reluctantly exchanged another cup of milk tea, poured two small cups, and the two of them, one human and one beast, squinted their eyes in enjoyment as they drank.
Back at the Ji family home, Ke Meiyu took out all the handwritten copies she had collected from her spatial storage during the day.
Ancient books don't have many words in a single volume, unlike later printed books with densely packed small characters, but they are full of valuable information.
She has a good memory and can remember everything she sees, so she can flip through books very quickly.
Uncle Ji organized the entire set of handwritten books from the Ji family for her, which did not only include medical texts.
In order to ensure the smooth continuation of the family line, the Ji family collected a wide variety of books, each of which was a top-notch work in its field, in an effort to find a solution.
Ke Meiyu actually found several books on talisman-based medicine among them!
This naturally includes things like Gu poison and ghost magic.
She thought that Luo Jingfeng must be an ordinary person, only able to pass down his family for hundreds or even thousands of years because of its power.
The world is so vast, there must be other similar families. With the Ji family's capabilities, they should be able to gather some information.
Ke Meiyu's lucky charm came in handy again at the crucial moment.
She did indeed find books about contracts.
The contract between humans and beasts exists in both the cultivation world and the mortal realm. However, in the cultivation world, it is more solid and inseparable because it is based on spiritual power and soul power.
In the mortal realm, due to the limited capacity of the human body, soul, and spirit, the effectiveness of contracts is greatly reduced. This also means she can find a way to break them!
The ceremony that Wang Di mentioned should be a transfer of the contract.
The first contractor can transfer the contracted beast to the second contractor through a rune array. The contract is not as strong as before, but the first contractor can still enjoy the same privileges as before.
Rather than a transfer of contract, it is more accurate to describe it as a form of sharing.
In later generations, any shared resources will face the risk of being stolen!
By the same token, the transfer of the contract also gave Ke Meiyu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
