Just as the female ghost touched Feng Qingcheng, a smooth jade stone suddenly rolled out from her chest.
"Qingyan, why don't you kneel before this princess?"
From within the jade, the voice of Consort Shu faintly drifted out.
Feng Qingcheng's pupils widened. How could her mother-in-law's voice be coming from this jade stone?
The female ghost was taken aback at first, then knelt down respectfully.
"Qingyan greets Your Highness the Princess."
Feng Qingcheng picked up the jade stone. What kind of stone could record audio?
Not only can she record audio, but she can also see her mother-in-law inside the stone.
"Master, this is the Recall Stone!" Inside the space, the little pig went crazy with excitement.
Is this the memory stone?
It can even do face-to-face video calls!
Holy crap, it's comparable to a modern cell phone!
She remembered that Little Piggy had said that the Recall Stone only existed in the Demon Palace, and since her grandmother was a princess of the Demon Clan, it was not surprising that she had such a thing.
"Mother," Feng Qingcheng greeted her mother-in-law excitedly.
Consort Shu smiled and said, "Acheng, I placed a memory stone on you that day."
"I just guessed it."
"Qingyan, this is my daughter-in-law, Acheng. From now on, she will be your master, and you must protect her as she grows up."
"Yes, Princess."
“Acheng, Qingyan was my maid before. Taking her in will be of help to you.”
As soon as Consort Shu finished speaking, she disappeared from the recall stone.
"Mother!" Feng Qingcheng cried out anxiously, for she still had so much to say.
The little pig said, "Consort Shu used the magic of the demon race to activate the Recall Stone. I'm afraid that in doing so, she will become useless."
Feng Qingcheng was stunned. "Is it necessary to pay such a high price?"
"Yes."
Feng Qingcheng felt a sharp pain in her chest.
My mother is imprisoned in the cold palace, her health is deteriorating, and she is almost blind. Her current condition is truly worrying.
"Master, don't be sad. Once you're stronger, we'll find a way to save Consort Shu. Actually, since she's imprisoned in the Cold Palace, magic won't be very effective against her. What she wants most is to see you two safe and sound."
The little pig is right.
Feng Qingcheng decided to turn her grief into strength. She straightened her back and looked at the female ghost kneeling before her.
Why are you imprisoned here?
"Reporting to Master, my name is Qingyan. I was originally a maidservant of the princess, but I fell in love with a scoundrel from the Xuantian Sect. Who knew that he was such a coward? After our affair was exposed, he swore in front of the sect that he would cut off my head. I thought he was just putting on a show for everyone, but who knew he would actually do it. After my death, my resentment was too strong, and because I was protected by a magical artifact bestowed upon me by the princess, I eventually turned into a vengeful ghost. After that, I would cause trouble for the Xuantian Sect every now and then. Later, Master An Ding imprisoned me here."
It turns out that Qingyan's background is so pitiful; no wonder she has no head.
“Master, I was unaware of your identity before and offended you greatly. Please punish me.”
Who could have imagined that the female ghost who wanted her head just a second ago would kneel in front of her and call her master the next second?
If it weren't for her mother-in-law, she would probably be a headless ghost by now.
Feng Qingcheng said, "Ignorance is no excuse, and you will not be punished."
Qingyan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
Feng Qingcheng was very curious: "What did you do to that man in the end?"
Qingyan said, "Naturally, we should drain his essence."
Well done!
This is how you deal with a scumbag.
However, Qingyan was too aggressive, so she couldn't praise her.
Feng Qingcheng sighed: "From now on, if you're working for me, you can't just take people's lives."
Qingyan said, "Naturally, I will follow my master's lead and guarantee to obey."
Goodness, she's afraid she won't be able to control such a vicious female ghost.
Feng Qingcheng asked Little Piggy, "How do you make a contract with a female ghost?"
The little pig said, "It is not advisable to form a contract. This female ghost has too much malevolent energy, which will be detrimental to the master's cultivation. Furthermore, there has never been a precedent of a human forming a contract with a female ghost."
Feng Qingcheng said, "What if I set this precedent?"
"Then there's no way to become a god."
Is it really that exaggerated?
However, Feng Qingcheng had no interest in becoming a god.
I've heard that immortals are very bored. How can it be as happy as being a human?
"Forget it, I don't expect to become a god with my current state."
"No, Master, my future happiness depends entirely on you. You can't ruin it because of this female ghost. How about this, let her offer up her treasure, and you can leave her here to fend for herself." The little pig was so afraid that Feng Qingcheng wouldn't agree that it was almost crying.
Feng Qingcheng smiled and said, "How about I give you to Long Moyuan? I have no hope of becoming a god, but he is only one step away from becoming a god."
"I only recognize one master in my life, and I'm not fickle." The little pig cried very sadly.
Feng Qingcheng sighed.
"Qingyan, how about this, you go first to purify my space?"
Hopefully, the spiritual water in her space will help her purify her anger.
"Is this demon up to its old tricks again?"
Just then, a terrifying pressure swept in from all directions!
Feng Qingcheng was protected within the barrier, while Qingyan was tormented until she was deformed.
All that could be heard was a pitiful cry from the blue smoke; just hearing that sound was enough to make one's heart ache.
A man dressed in a black robe, about sixty years old, descended from the sky and appeared in front of Qingyan. Qingyan had no power to fight back against him!
This old man is something else!
Just as the peach wood sword in his hand was about to pierce Qingyan's body.
"Your Excellency, wait!" Feng Qingcheng cried out urgently from inside the barrier.
Xiaolong helped her break through the barrier, and she rushed over quickly.
The elder was surprised that she, a mere Xuanzun-level cultivator, could break his barrier, and looked at her strangely.
He had a kind face and spoke softly, as if afraid of frightening her: "Little girl, did you break the barrier of the Forbidden Garden?"
This person possesses extraordinary strength and must hold a very high position within the Xuan Tian Sect.
Feng Qingcheng nodded: "Yes."
If punishment is necessary, then punish her.
The elder conjured a barrier to trap the green smoke and sheathed the wooden sword: "Why did you try to break through the barrier?"
Feng Qingcheng was quite honest: "Curiosity killed the man."
The elder looked at her with admiration: "You're quite bold."
Feng Qingcheng smiled and said, "I am Feng Chengcheng. May I ask your name, Venerable One?"
The elder smiled and said, "Acheng, this is the true self, rest assured."
Depend on!
The person in front of me is actually Master An Ding? The famous Feng Xuan Yi is him!
The leader of the Xuantian Sect!
Who said before that no one in Longtai had reached the Xuan Shen level?
The guy in front of me looks much stronger than Long Moyuan, who is at the Xuan God level.
Qingyan was so arrogant before, saying that a Xuan God level expert could barely withstand one move from her. Now she's been proven wrong, hasn't she?
"Master An Ding." Feng Qingcheng gave him a proper bow.
An Ding chuckled: "You little brat, you've caused a huge uproar since you arrived at the Xuan Tian Sect, and now you've run off to the Forbidden Garden, forcing me to leave seclusion early. How are you going to settle this score?"
Uh, are debt collectors here?
Feng Qingcheng said, "Master, you can't blame me for this."
"So you think you're right?"
"Of course, you can only blame your elite guild for being too weak. As for this barrier, breaking through it is my skill, isn't it?"
"This mouth does match your abilities," Master An Ding smiled.
"fine."
"I was about to advance in rank, but you suddenly sabotaged me and caused me to get stuck. You have to pay for this loss."
"Why are you cheating again?" Feng Qingcheng complained softly.
“If I hadn’t come, this female ghost would have been destroyed once she left.”
“Even if you hadn’t come, I could still have won her over,” Feng Qingcheng retorted defiantly.
"Further words are unnecessary. I will punish you by making you my youngest disciple."
"Forced sale?"
"Or will you compensate me for advancing my cultivation level?"
Well.
It must be very difficult for someone at his level to advance further, right?
They're clearly just lacking in ability, yet they insist on finding such a respectable excuse.
"Master, please accept Ah Cheng's bow."
Feng Qingcheng is flexible and adaptable. Besides, with such a powerful master, having a few more wouldn't make a difference.
Master An Ding was surprised that she bowed down with a face full of reluctance.
This little girl doesn't follow the rules.
Why did you compromise when you clearly didn't want to?
"Good girl, Ah Cheng." Master An Ding smiled and helped her up, then gave her a token. "This is a gift for meeting you."
Feng Qingcheng studied the token for a while, but couldn't understand the complex patterns carved on it.
She casually tossed it into the space.
The little piggy is naturally the one who collects her treasures.
The things these big shots give must be good stuff, maybe even more precious than treasures.
Feng Qingcheng took out a bottle of calming pills and a pot of spiritual water: "Master, I didn't prepare a gift for our first meeting. This is just a small token of my respect. I hope you will accept it."
Master An Ding accepted it and smiled, "Not bad, much more valuable than mine."
It's good that you know, but you're unwilling to give away anything of value.
snort.
Feng Qingcheng had already cursed him several times in her heart.
"An Ding, if you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, if I get out, I will definitely destroy your Xuan Tian Sect!" Qingyan, trapped in the barrier, suddenly roared with heart-wrenching pain.
Feng Qingcheng's ears ached from listening to this.
This guy not only doesn't know how to please people, but he's also arrogant and domineering. Does he want to die even faster?
Master An Ding's expression changed drastically: "Qingyan, I spared your life because my junior brother wronged you back then. I didn't expect you to remain unrepentant all these years. Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that, he took out a peach wood sword and muttered incantations.
"Master, no."
At the critical moment, Feng Qingcheng stood in front of Qingyan.
Master An hurriedly sheathed his sword, afraid of hurting her.
"Ah Cheng, this woman wanted you dead, and you actually saved her?"
"Master, you haven't killed her all these years, wasn't it because you wanted to give her a chance? Now that you've given up, are you willing to accept it?"
An Ding looked at her: "She wants to hurt you."
Feng Qingcheng didn't understand the meaning of these words until many years later.
"Master, believe me, give me a chance to purify her, I beg you."
Master An Ding sighed: "Acheng, she is a demon."
"So what? Aren't there any good people among the demons?"
"She's no good person. She beheaded your uncle's entire family of over seventy people overnight."
Well.
That's ruthless.
"That was because my uncle was the one who wronged her first."
"Yes. Considering this, I spared her life, hoping she could repent properly in this forbidden garden. However, I never expected her viciousness to grow stronger day by day. I can no longer let her harm the world."
"What if I make a contract with her?"
Master An Ding was greatly alarmed: "No."
"Hmph, then I don't want to be your apprentice anymore. You can't even have a female ghost? You're meddling too much. I'm breaking the contract."
"Having already formally accepted the apprenticeship, how can I break the agreement?"
"Becoming an apprentice? Who saw it? Was an apprenticeship ceremony held?"
Master An Ding was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at his opponent: "You!"
Feng Qingcheng tugged at his sleeve and pleaded, "Master, promise me! It's so cool to make a contract with a female ghost."
An Ding felt a throbbing sound in his head, and the little spirit pets in the space were also making a ruckus.
No matter what, we must stop our master!
That female ghost wasn't one of them.
"At worst, we can terminate the contract later." When Feng Qingcheng saw that her master wouldn't agree, she started to act coquettishly again.
“Acheng”.
At that moment, Long Moyuan rushed over and pulled her aside.
"Ah Yuan, what brings you here? Are you alright?" Feng Qingcheng checked him over from head to toe, and only when she saw that he was alright did she feel completely relieved.
Long Moyuan looked at her with concern: "And you? Are you alright?"
Feng Qingcheng laughed: "I'm the goddess of luck, what could possibly happen to me?"
Only then did Long Moyuan feel relieved enough to pull her behind him and draw his twin swords to protect her.
The person before me is very powerful. He has just broken through to the Xuanhuang level through his reverse cultivation. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to deal with him.
But for Ah Cheng's sake, even if it meant becoming a demon, he would protect her.
Master An Ding found this amusing.
"Your Highness, there's no need for that."
Huh, do you know him?
Long Moyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "May I ask who you are, Venerable One?"
"stable."
Long Moyuan quickly sheathed his sword. "So it was Master An Ding. This disciple has been disrespectful."
Master An Ding smiled and said, "I was in seclusion when Your Highness got married, so I was unable to attend the wedding in person. It is a great pity."
"The Xuantian Sect has prepared generous gifts; Master is very kind."
Feng Qingcheng listened for a long time, then jumped out in anger: "Master, do you know my identity?"
Master An Ding smiled and said, "A heroine who could topple a nation, those who don't know her can only be considered short-sighted."
But where exactly did they slip up?
She had never met her master before.
“Ah Cheng, I watched the whole thing on the day of your competition.”
I see.
"Child, I'm sorry you've suffered these past six months."
cut.
It's because they value her status as a spellcaster.
What's with this whole "master-disciple affection" thing?
"Since Master thinks Ah Cheng is being wronged, then give me the female ghost." Feng Qingcheng didn't forget to plead for Qingyan.
She was, after all, her mother-in-law's maid.
Master An Ding looked at Long Mo Yuan: "Your Highness, please persuade your princess."
"You dare."
Before Long Moyuan could even offer any advice, he was threatened by a fierce glare from Feng Qingcheng.
Long Moyuan sighed: "Acheng, if you want to form a contract with a female ghost, I will help you."
stable:"……"
He couldn't place his hopes on this doting husband.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Upon seeing Long Moyuan, Qingyan knelt down on both knees.
He is the princess's child!
An Ding and Long Moyuan looked curiously at the blue smoke inside the barrier.
At this moment, she was no longer as domineering as before. She was like a different person, as if all the fierceness in her body had been stripped away.
"An Ding, as long as you give me a contract with my master, I am willing to give up this murderous aura, cultivate properly, and be reborn."
This was the first time in many years that Qingyan had given An Ding a kind look.
An Ding was even more puzzled.
Why did this female ghost become so humble when she saw Prince An?
Could it be that she's attracted to this guy's good looks?
Well, getting rid of all that anger is fine, but making a contract with Ah Cheng is not an option.
Feng Qingcheng naturally saw through Master An Ding's thoughts and quickly stopped the foolish Qingyan: "This malevolent energy can only be worn down slowly. If you inhale it all, what difference is there between you and being dead?"
Furthermore, a ghost without malevolence is not powerful at all, so why make a contract with her? Wouldn't that just be an extra burden?
Qingyan was so humble because she recognized Long Moyuan's identity.
This shows that the female ghost was sentimental; otherwise, her mother-in-law wouldn't have dared to let her take in.
"I think Ah Cheng is right."
Long Moyuan's words completely dispelled Qingyan's idea, and she thanked him again.
An Ding sighed: "It seems you won't give up until you make a contract with this female ghost."
"certainly."
Feng Qingcheng didn't care how much the little spirit pets in the space resisted.
No one objects to Long Moyuan becoming a god, so what do they object to?
"Qingyan, remember this: Acheng is your savior. If it weren't for her, I would have shattered your soul today." Master An Ding removed the barrier and said to Qingyan.
Qingyan knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Qingcheng: "Qingyan thanks Master for saving my life."
Master An Ding cast a talisman on Qingyan: "Qingyan, this is a gratitude talisman. If you ever betray your master, your soul will surely be scattered!"
A yellow talisman was injected into Qingyan's forehead.
Qingyan said, "Qingyan swears that she will never betray her master, or else may my soul be scattered to the winds."
very good.
Charms and vows.
This is called double reinforcement, so even if Qingyan gets bolder, she wouldn't dare to betray Acheng.
An Ding was relieved and turned around, saying, "You guys hurry up and sign the contract, pretend I didn't see anything."
Long Moyuan held Feng Qingcheng's hand tightly: "Acheng, no matter what you want to do, I will always be with you."
What does it matter if I'm not a god for you?
I just hope we can grow old together in this lifetime. When you become a white-haired old lady and I become a white-haired old man, we'll finally be together, and that will be enough for countless lifetimes.
Feng Qingcheng didn't think that far ahead and was eager to form a contract with Qingyan.
She needs a strong guy to watch the house for her.
Her mother and younger brother were always her ties to her family.
Furthermore, Qingyan would willingly protect the Prince An's Mansion.
"Congratulations to Qingyan and Feng Qingcheng on successfully forming a contract."
Feng Qingcheng only breathed a sigh of relief when that voice rang out.
She was terrified that her master would come out and stop her halfway through.
Master is too powerful; she and A Yuan definitely can't beat him right now.
Fortunately, it was a success.
"Ugh, Master, you're going to drive me crazy! You're ignoring our feelings for a female ghost!"
"Master, we've been through life and death together, how can you ruin us for a female ghost who wants to kill you?"
"Waaah, Master, Little Black is afraid of ghosts."
Feng Qingcheng ignored the people in the space, but she couldn't very well put the female ghost into the space now.
"Qingyan, come back to the room with me."
"Yes, Master."
"Three rules: no frightening people, and no harming people."
"yes."
Qingyan picked up a rather nice-looking skull and used her magic to conjure up a beautiful woman's head.
Look closely at that beautiful woman; she looks very much like Feng Qingcheng.
