Chapter 0.30: Met My Master’s Wife
Bai Kufeng and Bai Lianqiu were dead, and the phantom image of the silver-eyed girl had completely dispersed, but the battle had not yet subsided. Several Nascent Soul realm cultivators from the Bai Family were still fighting desperately, seeking only a sliver of hope for survival.
Suddenly, three of them stopped fighting simultaneously, their gazes vacant. After a while, they actually turned against their own side, ganging up to launch a surprise attack with their full power and ruthless intent against the Nascent Soul realm cultivators of their own family, causing more than a few to die or be severely injured.
“Damn it, Bai Yuansheng, Bai Zixing, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?”
After their sudden assault, which resulted in the deaths or severe injuries of several Nascent Soul realm cultivators, the three revealed extremely strange smiles: “Please, Grand Princess, calm your anger!” Then, the three spat out blood simultaneously, shattered their meridians, and self-destructed with astonishing power.
The treasury gate opened.
“Master!” Ao Banwei said with immense joy, “Banwei knew it! As long as it’s based on the induction of the Love-betrothal Dragon Pearl, Banwei will definitely be the first to find you!” Saying this, Ao Banwei looked around and then asked, “Master, what place is this? Why were you trapped here?”
“I, Master, was trapped?” Qin Gou patted the dust off his body, stood up, and said with a faint smile, “This is the Bai Family’s treasury, a place of great importance. I naturally came here voluntarily.”
“What? This is a treasury? Then why is it so empty everywhere? Banwei didn’t see any treasures?” Ao Banwei said in confusion.
“They’re poor!” Qin Gou rubbed his nose and said with a smile, “Banwei, how are things outside now? How is the Bai Family?”
“It’s a horrific sight,” Ao Banwei said, shaking her little head. “But who told them to dare to harm Master? However, Manager Qishou has already ordered all innocent people to be transferred, so there won’t be any unnecessary killings. Please rest assured, Master.”
“That’s good. But we’re in no hurry to leave. Master has always been too soft-hearted to stand the sight of blood.”
As the treasury gate opened, the restriction was also lifted in an instant. Qin Gou immediately summoned his Natal Spirit Tool, ‘Dream Person,’ and took out the Emperor Weapon in the form of a lamp, which he had obtained earlier, and began to refine and fuse them with spiritual fire. Ao Banwei, agile and well-behaved, guarded by his side, protecting her Master.
“Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully fusing the ‘Dream Person’ Natal Spirit Tool with the Emperor Weapon, advancing it to the Profound tier Spirit Tool ‘Dream Soul’.”
Natal Spirit Tool: Dream Soul (Profound tier, growth potential)
Newly added effect one: ‘Dream Attendant’, those who have established a dream connection with the host can, at the cost of a drop of blood, actively invite the host, and if permitted by the host, meet with the host in a dream.
Newly added effect two: ‘Nightmare’, without the need for blood as a medium, the host can directly enter the dreamscape of the person they sleep with (cannot be more than two major realms higher than the host). Everything in the dream is controlled by the host.
Newly added effect three: ‘Eternal Slumber Cage’, when the host awakens, they can also trap the person in the dreamscape within an illusion for three days.
After changing into Qin Yue’s appearance, Qin Gou said to Ao Banwei, “Alright, let’s go. We’ll meet those who have been worried about me and thank them properly.”
“Master, please wait a moment.” Hearing this, Qin Gou also saw the rain falling outside and said, “It’s fine, no need for an umbrella, with spiritual energy…”
Ao Banwei immediately walked out of the treasury and amplified her voice with spiritual energy, shouting, “Master has arrived, all winds and rains shall cease!” In an instant, the rain stopped and the wind died down. Ao Banwei smiled charmingly, “Master, please.”
Qin Gou couldn’t help but chuckle, “I didn’t realize it, Little Banwei, you’re quite the social butterfly, so sensible!”
“What is Master’s status? It must be dignified!” Ao Banwei said with a sweet, charming smile. Qin Gou was speechless with laughter.
Walking out of the treasury, all he saw were crumbling walls and ruins.
“You must be the Master of Arc-Moon Mountain!” “Greetings, Demon Master of Arc-Moon Mountain!” A captured disciple of the Bai Family looked at Qin Gou with fear and reverence.
Qin Gou quickly waved his hand, “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’ve already guessed it! Besides the Master of Arc-Moon Mountain, who else has such great power to command the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace and the Purple Extreme Demonic Sect like an extension of their arm!” The captured disciple’s eyes shone brightly.
Qin Gou pointed at the person, “Someone, chop this brat into meat paste.”
“No, no, no, my lord, spare my life, I guessed wrong, I was spouting nonsense!”
Qin Gou rubbed his hands together, “Then tell me, what virtue and ability do I, ‘Qin Yue,’ have that the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace and the Purple Extreme Demonic Sect would come to rescue one after another?”
“Uh, because…” “Where’s my saber?”
“Because, just as you said before, you are truly handsome, it’s the charm of your personality!” the captured disciple screamed in panic.
“Banwei, untie him! Anyone from the Bai Family can die at this moment, but this person must live!” Qin Gou’s eyes were filled with admiration, and he immediately took out a cultivation technique from his Nas ring and handed it to the man, saying, “Here, I’ll bestow upon you a divine skill, this is a reward for your intelligence and wit, don’t be modest.”
The Bai Family disciple was instantly overjoyed. What a joke! How many mighty figures of the Cultivation World had the Master of Arc-Moon Mountain trained? To receive a secret manual personally bestowed by him, this was incredible! Then, he took a closer look… “Bai Family Qi Gathering Realm Enlightenment.”
“Qin Gou!” At this moment, Qishou, dressed in green robes, arrived. “Although the ancestor knew you were fine through the Love-betrothal Dragon Pearl long ago, he was still furious for a long time because of it, which is why he sent me personally. By the way, the ancestor asked me to give you this Jade Slip, it’s related to her.” Saying this, Qishou subtly glanced at Ao Banwei not far away.
Qin Gou nodded slightly, “Thank you, Qishou. I will write a letter and ask you to help me deliver it to Qingyu later. By the way, if you’re not in a hurry to return to Dragon God Island, I can let Debt Girl keep you company for a few more days.”
Qishou shivered, “You’d better worry about your own affairs first. The ancestor is very concerned about your deeds, and has recently ordered people to inquire everywhere. She has already learned a lot about the ‘great achievements’ since the Celestial Master came out of seclusion… And the ancestor’s tenure guarding the Sea Soul is finally coming to an end, and soon she will regain her freedom!”
“Is she angry about this?” Qin Gou asked. “It doesn’t seem like it at all, at least she hasn’t shown it.”
Qin Gou nodded solemnly and said with a carefree smile, “You can’t hide from the beginning of the lunar month to the end of the fifteenth. If Little Qingyu dares to touch me, I’ll drop my pants right in front of her. What do you think of that idea?”
“Brilliant! You truly are Sister Qiu’s true Master!” Qishou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Lord Qin!” From not far away, Yi Chengying’s clear and melodious voice could be heard. Qin Gou looked at the girl in front of him, who was wearing a moon-white long skirt and looked like an elf, and said with a knowing smile, “I guessed right, Little Chair said you would definitely come. You must have paid a heavy price to leave the Purple Extreme Demonic Sect this time, right?”
“No, Little Chair only ate a piece of candy,” Yi Chengying said to Qin Gou with ecstatic joy. “It’s good to see Lord Qin is alright.”
Qin Gou looked Yi Chengying up and down, and suddenly asked with some confusion, “When did Little Chair start liking to wear white skirts? Weren’t they always floral skirts before? What happened to the floral skirt Treasure Robe I gave you earlier?”
Yi Chengying’s pretty face immediately turned as red as blood, and she shyly said, “It was raining heavily just now, and Little Chair accidentally wet her skirt, so she changed into this one!”
As she spoke, Yi Chengying’s gaze went past Qin Gou and she immediately spotted Ao Banwei, her fighting spirit instantly ignited, “Hey, Little White Dragon, do you remember me?”
Ao Banwei glanced at Yi Chengying and nodded like a pecking chicken, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. She respectfully cupped her fists and said, “Of course, Banwei had the honor of meeting you on Arc-Moon Mountain before, how could I dare to forget? Banwei greets Madam Master!”
“I…” For a moment, all the harsh words that Little Chair had prepared for days were completely forgotten. She quickly looked around to make sure the Palace Lord had not really come, and then nodded with flushed cheeks, “You may be excused! And don’t call me that in front of Lord Qin, there’s no need to be so polite! Little Chair just sees that Sister Banwei has become even more beautiful, and wanted to say hello.”
