Si Lengyue paused as Qin Liuxi led her into the side yard, her gaze shifting towards the top of the wall.
A male and a female ghost were feeling relieved that Qin Liuxi finally brought back a friend of the sa age, and both ghosts exhaled as if they were relieved mothers, having a playmate of the sa age always adds a touch of humanity to adults.
However, while they were passing judgnt on Si Lengyue, she suddenly looked in their direction, scaring the two ghosts into imdiate silence.
Could she see them?
Qin Liuxi also followed her gaze and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Si Lengyue was silent for a mont before saying, "Nothing, I just thought there seed to be sothing over there, maybe it’s just an illusion."
Qin Liuxi raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "It’s not an illusion. There are two ghosts squatting on that wall, they’re my gatekeepers and guardians of the yard."
Si Lengyue: "..."
Using ghosts to guard and protect the yard, that’s so like you.
"Your senses are very sharp. Is it because of your bloodline? Have you been like this since you were little?" Qin Liuxi asked.
Si Lengyue nodded: "I used to be able to see them when I was younger, and I often had episodes of soul departure. Later, after wearing the Jade Pendant, I couldn’t see them anymore."
Qin Liuxi pondered and said, "After all, you carry the blood of a witch. Perhaps it’s suppressed by the curse of your clan. If this Blood Curse were broken, the blood of your Witch Clan might awaken once again."
Si Lengyue was surprised, her fingers curling slightly.
"Are you afraid?"
Si Lengyue shook her head and said with a faint smile, "I’m not even afraid of death, why would I be afraid of awakening my bloodline."
More than fear, she was actually sowhat expectant. If that were the case, could she revive the Witch Clan of the Si Family?
"At midnight, we will enter the Yin Road again." Qin Liuxi led her into the house.
Qi Huang offered them tea and then looked at the items Si Lengyue had brought, which seed rather heavy as she tried to lift them.
Si Lengyue said, "It’s so Jade. I know you like to nurture Magic Artifacts with these, so I’ve brought you so. If it’s not enough, just ask for more and I’ll send it over."
Qin Liuxi opened the bundle to find a pile of jades of various colors, big and small, just piled up, and all of excellent quality.
"These jades are of good quality. You’re just wrapping them in a bundle of leather; aren’t you afraid they’ll get chipped or broken?"
Si Lengyue took a sip of tea and replied, "If they break, they break. I’ll just pick up so more."
That’s a bold statent.
Qin Liuxi laughed and said, "You’re quite bold. Does your family own a mine?"
"Yes."
"Ah?"
Si Lengyue explained, "Our Si Family does indeed own a Jade Mine."
Qin Liuxi: "..."
Looking at Si Lengyue, she almost drooled and said, "Comparing people can really make one feel like they’re dying. How co I don’t have this kind of wealth and quick fortune?"
If she had a mine at ho, she would just lie back and relax; why bother with the hard work?
Si Lengyue played with a piece of jade and said, "You envy , but who knows if I don’t envy you? At least you don’t have to count the days of how much longer you have to live."
"Don’t worry, just for this Jade Mine of yours, I must break this Blood Curse," Qin Liuxi comforted her.
Si Lengyue’s eyes curved into a smile.
Seeing that it was still early before the hour of Zi, Qin Liuxi observed the bright moon hanging outside the window, then took a large clay jar, shoveled so soil in the dicine garden, and buried a few pieces of jade in it.
Si Lengyue watched her actions curiously, not asking questions, just observing.
As the jade was buried, Qin Liuxi’s hands ford complicated spells and cast them into the clay jar.
Whether it was an illusion or not, as Qin Liuxi’s spells fell, Si Lengyue felt refreshed. The exhaustion of the recent days was swept away, and her complexion beca more rosy.
She stared thoughtfully at the clay jar; sothing about it seed different now.
Once done, Qin Liuxi then said, "Little Shen, co out."
Little Sen, who?
Si Lengyue looked around, and then, sothing moved beside her. Startled, she took two steps back.
But she saw a plant breaking through the soil and, with a whoosh, it flew out.
Si Lengyue’s breath caught; the plant had beco a spirit.
No, not just a plant, is this... ginseng?
Si Lengyue watched the plump white ginseng stand on its roots, shaking its head, casting off the dirt from its leafy top. It turned its head towards her, cried out, "Oh. It’s a beauty!"
Si Lengyue: "!"
The ginseng has beco a spirit!
Qin Liuxi saw her seemingly frightened and laughed, "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng spirit with spiritual wisdom. It insisted on following ho. It threw a tantrum when I refused, so I had no choice but to bring it back!"
Little Ginseng Spirit: "?"
I didn’t, I wasn’t, you’re making that up!
Clearly, you kidnapped .
Qin Liuxi glared at it and said, "Say hello, this is the descendant of the Witch Clan’s Si Family, Si Lengyue."
"Si Family?" Little Ginseng Spirit cocked its head, "A descendant of the Holy Daughter Si Qing?"
Si Lengyue was surprised and crouched down again, resting her hands on her knees, "You know about our clan’s Holy Daughter?"
"I don’t know her." The Little Ginseng Spirit said: "But I’ve heard of her. Your Si Family is cursed, almost to the point of extinction. Eh, are you the last one?"
Qin Liuxi pinched one of its tiny roots, "Do you even know how to speak? Being so blunt, you’ll get beaten to death sooner or later."
She placed a Detoxification Talisman on a small root and handed it to Si Lengyue: "Eat this, your Primordial Qi is deficient. This will replenish it."
Little Ginseng Spirit wailed loudly: "You robber."
"Shut up. You eat, live, and drink at my expense. What’s wrong with breaking off a whisker? Got a problem with that?" Qin Liuxi poked his forehead.
Little Ginseng Spirit shrank its head back: "No."
I do, but I dare not say it!
Si Lengyue held the root, torn between eating it and not.
Little Ginseng Spirit drooped its head, "What did you call out for?"
"Try out your new ho." Qin Liuxi patted the pottery jar next to her, "Bury yourself in it. I’ve reinforced it with a Spirit Array, your cultivation will progress much faster."
Little Ginseng Spirit’s leaves shook excitedly: "There’s such a good thing?"
It couldn’t wait to jump into the pottery jar, squatting down and burying itself, its body as though baptized by a Spiritual Spring, making strange humming sounds.
The Little Evil God finally got to feel what it’s like to be human, ah, what a relief.
Snap.
Its head was smacked, and the Little Ginseng Spirit glared.
Qin Liuxi said, "What’s with the humming, mind the occasion."
After seeing Si Lengyue covering her mouth to hide a chuckle, the Little Ginseng Spirit out of consideration for its new ho, endured.
"Alright then." It extended a root, "Why don’t you break off another one? This one is a gift for Little Yue."
Si Lengyue quickly replied, "Thanks, one is enough."
She knew the value; a small root from a thousand-year-old ginseng spirit could even pull a person back from the Ghost Gate.
Qin Liuxi said, "With this jar, if you keep at your cultivation, I might need your help when I’m freeing Little Yue from the Blood Curse."
Little Ginseng Spirit’s spirits drooped again, so that’s why it was given a jar, because she needed sothing from it.
But better than nothing, the Spiritual Energy in this jar was denser than in the dicine garden - and it was all for itself. It almost wanted to drown in it.
Nevermind, those who take must give in, it won’t haggle with her.
It was the most magnanimous ginseng spirit in the world, heh.
