On New Year's Eve in the White Snake World, as the afternoon approached, Li Gongfu finally rushed back to Qiantang County in time and returned to his own home, preparing to meet his mother-in-law, a little girl, and a large number of tickets. His family eats and drinks, and the strange guys who eat well and are lazy celebrate the New Year together.
In fact, a group of more than a dozen of them had returned to Qiantang County Yamen safely before noon! But unfortunately, because a certain county magistrate, Mr. Yang, was procrastinating and did not want to deal with official duties during the Chinese New Year, they had to spend half a day waiting patiently for each other.
At any rate, in the end they succeeded in waiting until Magistrate Yang came forward and completed the handover and return of orders. They reluctantly delayed their return until now, before the sun set in the west.
This time he went out on business, and Li Gongfu almost couldn't come back...
But in the end, they saved the day and returned home safely! Of course, he didn't come back alone this time... In addition to his own baggage, salutes, and handles around his waist, he also brought an extra painting, and an incredibly beautiful person following behind him. She is a person, a young lady who is only about twenty-eight years old!
"We're home now!"
"Here! Xiaoqian, let me introduce to you. This is my wife, Xu Jiaorong. You can just call her Sister Xu. Please don't see her outside. Anyway, we are all our own."
"Madam, this Nie..."
After arriving at the hall of his house, Li Gongfu spoke a little tiredly to introduce his mother-in-law who was frowning and had just come out of the kitchen.
However, before he could finish speaking, the Nie Xiaoqian who was following him obediently took two steps forward, bowed to Xu Jiaorong, and took the lead in introducing me:
"Hello, Sister Xu, my name is Nie Xiaoqian, from Jinhua..."
Nie Xiaoqian, who followed Li Gongfu back to this strange 'home', had become delicate and considerate after being under the control of the Dryad Grandma for so many years. She could see the look of surprise and dissatisfaction on the face of Li Gongfu's wife at a glance.
Therefore, in order to leave a good impression on the other party, she had to take two steps forward and introduce herself in a very knowledgeable and courteous manner.
But in fact, Nie Xiaoqian really didn't want to follow Li Gongfu to Qiantang. She would rather be reincarnated by herself, forget everything, and start a new life?
However……
That night, when she saw that little girl, with a wave of her hand, she could engulf the land for miles around in a sea of destructive fire, destroying everything, whether it was monsters, flowers, trees, or even buildings and rocks. Afterwards, she was really frightened!
Therefore, she did not dare or have the courage to disobey the arrangement of that powerful little girl who was as terrifying as the Da Luo Jinxian in the sky.
Because of that, she not only possessed the portrait honestly, but also followed Li Gongfu to the other party's 'home', preparing to be the maid or singer of the little girl who didn't know who she was from the immortal god?
Although this incident made her feel a little unhappy and aggrieved, no matter what, being a little girl's maid or something was better than being a lonely ghost under the hands of the tree demon grandma, and then having to cast spells. To harm others, there are always too many benefits...
Although I still feel a little uneasy now, maybe this matter is really a good choice for Nie Xiaoqian?
"etc!!"
Without giving the other party a chance to finish his words or make excuses, Xu Jiaorong raised his brows and interrupted the other party rudely, then looked at Li Gongfu who looked exhausted with an unkind expression:
"Well done to you Mr. Li!!"
"Are you capable? You go out and bring me a little one? I won't stop you if you want to take a concubine. It's your fault...I have been married into the Li family for so many years, but you still haven't been able to give you a concubine." A son and a half daughters and so on, plus there are so many people now..."
"But if you want to take a concubine, you should talk to me first and discuss it, right?!"
As she spoke, Xu Jiaorong's eyes turned red, and the tears inside them almost couldn't help but flow out.
This Li Gongfu, if you want to take a concubine, just say so!
But now it's good, why didn't you tell her, the main wife, about such a big thing?
Fortunately, she had tried so hard to prepare hot water for bathing and a sumptuous dinner for this heartless guy, but what was the result? This guy, to put it nicely, went out to Jinhua on business. Now he finally came back, but he came back with a young and beautiful concubine?
Is this because the other party has changed his mind now that he has money? Or he disliked her, Xu Jiaorong, was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, or he disliked her old age and beauty, so he just brought such a little goblin home without discussing it with her? !
"!!"
"What are you talking about?!"
When he heard that his mother-in-law mistakenly thought that Nie Xiaoqian was his concubine, Li Gongfu was so excited on the spot that he was almost frightened!
If the other party is really a sweet and normal little lady, he might have some ideas... But, the other party is a female ghost... Even if the other party is given to him for free, he may not dare to ask for such a good thing!
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Madam, don't you know who I am, Mr. Li? To tell you the truth, this Xiao Qian has nothing to do with me. She is actually the maid of that little guy Anne, and she asked me to bring her back. "
At this point, Li Gongfu stopped, and then pulled his wife Xu Jiaorong, who was a little embarrassed and at a loss, to find a corner of the hall, and then whispered into her ear:
"Let me tell you, she is not a human at all, but a female ghost! But you don't have to be afraid. This matter is a bit complicated. In short, you have to know that she will not dare to harm others casually."
If that little guy was an ordinary person and wanted to recruit such a female ghost to his home, Li Gongfu would not agree to anything he said!
However, when he saw the ability of a certain little guy and the magical means of destroying heaven and earth with a wave of his hand, Li Gongfu felt that it was not a big deal to bring such a weak female ghost home?
After all, with that little guy here to suppress her, she wouldn't dare to mess around, right? !
Furthermore, during these three days of traveling back and forth between Jinhua and Qiantang, he also got to know the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian a little bit. She didn't seem to be the kind of treacherous and evil person...a ghost? He also heard the other party say that all the evil things he had committed in the past were all ordered by the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma. Was he done out of necessity?
And now, since the thousand-year-old tree demons and countless demons and ghosts are all dead, and since the little guy feels that this female ghost does not deserve to die, and even asked him to bring Li Gongfu back, then he has nothing to say, just So he accepted the job and brought the other party back.
"It turns out to be a female ghost..."
Xu Jiaorong wiped her eyes in embarrassment, and looked at the person named Nie Xiaoqian up and down again in surprise, and then nodded with understanding.
No wonder she just thought that the other party was incredibly beautiful, much more beautiful than Xu Jiaorong, the top beauty in Qiantang County... Now that she thought about it, she felt a little relieved!
As a female ghost, it’s normal to be beautiful! Otherwise, why can they charm those crooked men?
"But...didn't you go to work for Mr. Jinhua? When did you meet little Annie?"
Xu Jiaorong remembered that the little girl Annie had been following her in Suzhou City... When did that little kid go to find her official Li Gongfu again? !
"Ahem! Let's not talk about it for now!"
“I won’t be able to explain this matter for a while, and I’ll talk to you about it another day!!”
Thinking about the bizarre encounters of their group at Jinhua Lanruo Temple, Li Gongfu still feels a little frightened even now.
At that time, if Yan Chixia hadn't taken action to protect them for a while, and then that little guy Annie had appeared in time, maybe they would have been dead, right? But... this matter is too troublesome to talk about. When you have free time another day, you can slowly break it up with this woman to save her from being upset when she yells and screams again later!
"correct!"
"She is a female ghost, are you not surprised or scared?!"
Just as Li Gongfu was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he turned back and looked curiously at his calm-faced woman.
seem……
Is it normal that the other party should be frightened and at a loss at this time? After all, Nie Xiaoqian is a female ghost, a female ghost, a ghost! ! !
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't this woman, who is not very courageous, scream and hide behind her?
"snort!"
"I, Xu Jiaorong, have never seen such strong winds and waves?"
Yes, Xu Jiaorong had seen five ghosts, two snake monsters that were harmful to people, and... she even stayed in the same house with them for a night! Of course, you may also need to add the more bizarre gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters in your own home now.
Because of this, if the female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian in front of her wanted to scare her, it was really a little bit off.
"..."
"Did something happen at home that I don't know about?"
Li Gongfu saw that his mother-in-law was weird! Something extraordinary must have happened while I was away!
"It's a long story..."
"Your name is Nie Xiaoqian, right? You're such a nice girl... It's all my fault. Don't mind what my sister said just now. I was also made angry by him!"
Ignoring her official Li Gongfu, Xu Jiaorong, who breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward and apologetically held the hand of the bewildered female ghost Nie Xiaoqian.
"ah!!"
"You...why are your hands so cold?!"
It's not like there aren't other ghosts in her home, such as the thousand-year-old bone demon, who is a ghost! However, the other party and Xu Jiaorong usually had a lot of physical contact, and Miss Bai's hands were as warm as a living person, unlike the Nie Xiaoqian in front of her, who felt so cold to the touch!
"Coolness is natural, because she is a ghost without entity, and the ghost's body is yin and lacks yang energy, so her whole body is naturally cold!"
"If ordinary people touch it too much, it will damage their health and longevity!!"
At this time, Zixia, the Pansi Great Immortal, also came to the Li family's hall.
Of course she knew very well why this ordinary little female ghost in front of her felt cold to the touch, and she also knew the harm such a female ghost with such a low level of cultivation could do to ordinary people! However, fortunately, no one in this house is an ordinary person. Even Li Gongfu and his wife are no longer ordinary because of Pantao!
It's just that the two couples themselves didn't know about this.
"Well……"
"Not bad, not bad! The ghost body is unique and the spirit is beautiful. It is indeed a talent that can be made!"
Although she no longer has a fairy status, she was originally a real fairy in the fairy world with profound magical powers. But after taking a look at Nie Xiaoqian, she roughly figured out the details of the other party, and secretly nodded at the eyes of a certain little guy!
This female ghost is indeed good!
What's even more rare is that Fang Jin has always maintained the sincerity of kindness and kindness, and has not complained about others or become crazy and harmed others because of his own experiences. This is very satisfying to her.
"Nie Xiaoqian, Annie just told me about you!"
"I'm asking you now, are you willing to join my Pansi Cave and become my third disciple, Pansi Immortal?"
The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. After pondering for a while, she made her decision and asked the female ghost for her opinion.
"ah?!"
Nie Xiaoqian was a little stunned. She was just a female ghost who was captured as a maid and singer. Why did this stranger suddenly want to accept her as his disciple?
"Hurry up and agree!"
"You ghost girl is so clueless. She is Pansi Daxian, a fairy in the sky. She is amazing. Why don't you kneel down quickly and become a disciple?!"
At this time, the second master who appeared out of nowhere suddenly approached the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian and whispered a reminder.
The wife of the second master, Thirty Niang, is the eldest disciple of Pansi Immortal Seat. He himself looks like he has become a disciple of Pansi Cave, but unfortunately, the other party does not accept male disciples and does not like his qualifications. Now he has to act as a disciple. His wife's assistant is also a handyman of the Pansi Cave in the future where the master's sect doesn't know where it will be built in the future.
"..."
"What Pansi Cave? Great Immortal Pansi?!"
Li Gongfu looked confused. He knew what those people in the distance were doing, but he actually asked a female ghost to become his disciple. He was really brave!
"Um?!"
"Wait, are you... Hanwen?"
"No, why did you come back to Qiantang? Aren't you supposed to be in Suzhou?!"
At this time, Li Gongfu saw a familiar figure walking in from the door, and he was shocked. He quickly waved and called out to the other person loudly.
"Ah! Brother-in-law..."
"Yes...my sister asked me to go home for the New Year and then brought me back."
Xu Xian didn't know why his brother-in-law, who had just returned, had such an expression and stared at him with that strange look in his eyes. Anyway, he feels that everything is fine now. He has recovered from his serious illness and has redeemed himself.
Everything that he Xu Xian had started over soon!
"Going home for the New Year? I think you are crazy, right?!"
"Chinese, it doesn't matter if your sister is not sensible. You are a literate person, don't you understand it too? If you run away without authorization during the distribution period, if you are discovered by someone, it will be an additional crime. Do you still want to take your head? "
“I’m telling you, this is no small thing!!”
Seeing that this kind of thing happened while he was away from home, Li Gongfu was almost furious!
If Xu Xian is discovered and reported and taken back, he will be given a heavy sentence and punished for both crimes. Originally sent to Suzhou for three years, he might become a barbaric land in southern Xinjiang for about ten years. ! By then, his brother-in-law is really dead, and no one can help him! !
"What are you whining about?"
Seeing that his official had frightened his younger brother to death, Xu Jiaorong rushed over to rescue him.
"I have already gone to Suzhou to pay the atonement money to Han Wen. The formalities were handled by the postmaster Hao Jianghua, and the official documents have been handed over to our government office in Qiantang. Now the government office doesn't care about the matter, and you are still raising your eyebrows?! "
"..."
"ah!?"
So that’s what it is?
"Forget it, since you have settled everything yourself, let's do it! Just come back. Don't mess around in the future. Don't make mistakes and commit crimes again... You have a criminal record in the Yamen That’s right, if you commit another crime, you will definitely get an additional penalty, and I won’t be able to save you then!”
In fact, Li Gongfu had thought about atoning for Xu Xian.
However, he felt that being sent to Suzhou for three years would only benefit his brother-in-law without any harm. It could temper his character and make him more responsible in the future, so he didn't mention it.
But how could he have expected that after he had only been away for a few days, this woman at home would actually take the initiative and bring Xu Xian back?
"besides……"
"okay!"
"Stop talking. You smell like sweat and your clothes are dirty. You must have not washed yourself in a few days, right? I have prepared hot water. Go and wash up. We will have dinner later. , If anything happens, let’s talk about it in the evening!!”
Before Li Gongfu could say anything else, Xu Jiaorong shook her head and started pushing and shoving, hoping that the other party would leave here quickly and do what they should do.
"Too!"
"By the way, where's the little Annie? Why didn't I see her... You can tell her later that I brought the female ghost she wanted back to her and asked her to take good care of her. But don't let her go." She runs around and scares people!"
"You don't have to worry about this!"
"Anne has just been invited to heaven by a manifested god. She doesn't need you to worry about her!"
"Huh? Heaven?!"
——————
Yes, at this time Annie went to this demiplane of the sky again, which is what people in this world call the heavenly fairyland rich in aura (energy) to enjoy the autumn breeze! However, she came secretly last time, but this time, she was indeed invited.
"Um……"
(￣～￣)Chew!
"Yeah! The food you have here is really delicious!!"
(??????????)Delicious……
In the Golden Palace of the Queen Mother of Heaven, a little girl was lying on a table with no regard for etiquette. In this hall shrouded in fairy mist, she was devouring pastries, spiritual fruits, fairy liquids and other things from Heaven. Unique specialty.
Fortunately, she was invited and she was still a little girl, so no one here scolded or made things difficult for her! Because, the well-dressed head of the heavenly fairy who was sitting on the main seat was just looking at her with a smile on her face, without any intention of blaming her.
"Annie..."
"Are these spiritual fruits as delicious as the nine-thousand-year-old flat peaches in my flat peach orchard?"
After waiting for a long time and seeing that the little girl had been eating for a long time without any intention of stopping, the Queen Mother, who had been waiting patiently for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Eh?"
∑(??△｀)? !
"Although it's not as delicious as peaches...but I'm tired of eating those flat peaches, and now they taste quite good!"
(????hey-hey……
The peaches are delicious, but Queen Anne cannot always eat fruits. She doesn’t need to lose weight, so she doesn’t need to eat fruits to survive!
There is no such thing as losing weight. She has such a good figure and is so hot and beautiful...
Anyway, she just likes to eat these unusual and good things. She just wants to eat meat. Only when she is full will she have the strength to play wildly and wander all over the world.
"That's good."
"I thought you wouldn't admit that you picked my peaches!"
Almost none of the 9,000-year-old flat peaches in the Queen Mother’s peach garden are left!
This situation once made her feel a little worried about how the Peach Festival will be held in the next year... Because, if the Peach Festival does not have nine thousand years of flat peaches, the other gods and gods may not be able to hold it. What would you think?
And not only this year, but also for countless years to come, it will probably be very embarrassing, because she may not be able to produce the best flat peach within nine thousand years...
"I...I paid you!!"
||o(*°▽°*)o|Ю[Gold]
That's right, Anne herself paid for it! At best, this matter can only be regarded as a forced purchase and sale by her?
but……
Who made the peaches in the Tianting Peach Garden so delicious? Once she picked them, she couldn't stop picking them. She really couldn't be blamed!
"You mean the gold?"
Her cheeks twitched slightly, the Queen Mother sighed and shook her head, and put down the cup of fine wine in her hand helplessly.
"That's right!"
(??????????) That’s it!
Anyway, since Lady Queen Anne gave her the money, it doesn’t count as stealing!
"..."
"With that little gold, I'm afraid I can't even buy a single peach..."
Looking dumbfounded at the little girl who was blooming and looking so normal, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, the other party is a little girl, and there are some things that cannot be said directly. Even if she did, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't buy it.
"!!"
(ー`??ー)
According to little Annie's experience in Qiantang County, gold can be very valuable. She left so much gold, weighing as much as several cows, but this aunt called the Queen Mother actually said she couldn't buy any of it? !
How is this possible? You know, gold is very valuable in Qiantang County. A small gold coin can keep her well fed in the city for almost a whole month!
"well……"
"You don't have to be so nervous. If I really want to make things difficult for you, I don't have to wait until now?"
After thinking about it, the Queen Mother waved her hand to repel the heavenly soldiers and the fairies and maidens on the left and right, because she didn't want too many people to know what happened next!
"..."
"Do you want more gold? Tell me how much you want!"
Even if the other party exchanges a peach for a gold nugget of equal or greater weight, Annie still has it! Even if you use gold to fill this foggy place full of atomized energy, it will be fine!
She, Queen Anne, has a lot of money. If she doesn't have enough in her bag, she will go back to the Koprulu sector and bring in a few starships.
"That Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, Annie, I think... you should know him, right?"
After pondering for a while and considering her words, the Queen Mother sat up slightly and asked softly as if by chance.
"Huh?!"
Σ(??д??llll)
"Of course I know him. Do you want to find him? I can help you!!"
(???????????)
Of course Anne knew where Wuzhuang Temple was because she had been there five hundred years ago and had a delicious meal there all day long and took away all their ginseng fruits!
However, although those ginseng fruits were delicious, there were too few... After she had eaten a lot, there were not many left.
"The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi suddenly disappeared more than two hundred years ago. He is no longer in the Three Realms, nor in the chaos... His Wuzhuang Temple was also included in the disappearance!!"
A great god disappeared mysteriously. This incident shocked the heavens greatly!
"Huh? It took him three hundred years and he finally left?"
Little Annie stopped eating because she understood something...it must be that kind-hearted old man with a beard who understood the rules of the space gem, then opened the portal, and ran to some other dimension to play. , it must be like that!
And if that's the case, then she won't be able to find the other party...
Because there are so many and endless planes in this world, and even she has only visited ten worlds now, so there is really no way for her to find that kind-hearted old man with a beard.
"You really know about him!"
The Queen Mother nodded, confirming her previous guess.
"You must know why he disappeared into the Three Realms, am I right?"
Whether it was the investigation from the Heavenly Court or the information obtained from the Wuzhuang Temple disciples scattered in the immortal world on earth, all the clues pointed to this little girl!
Because the other party had visited Wuzhuang Temple five hundred years ago and received all the ginseng fruits donated by the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi!
Even received warm hospitality?
A little girl of unknown origin was treated with special attention by Zhen Yuanzi, and the standard of reception was extraordinary... Therefore, the Queen Mother had enough reason to believe that there must be something wrong with this little girl!
or,
There must be something that Immortal Zhen Yuanzi likes, and that thing is directly or indirectly related to the other party's complete disappearance more than two hundred years ago!
After all, this little girl doesn't seem to be from this world... In that case, this matter would be very interesting!
"Of course I know, it must be because of that space gem!"
(??˙o˙??)??
The reason why Annie herself was able to travel through unknown world planes was because of the space gem she snatched from the hands of the evil god Loki!
But now, she has completely absorbed and digested the gem, and can freely open the space door by herself without the need for a stone! This process took her less than two years in total!
Sure enough, Queen Anne is a great genius!
"Space gem..."
"That gem, what is it used for?"
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, then she laughed knowingly, and asked pretending to be curious.
"Eh?!"
ε=(??ο｀*)))
"Your smile suddenly looks so scary... What bad idea are you planning?"
(??_??)
Annie didn't need her own little bear to remind her that the other party must have some other purpose!
Anne could see that expression at a glance! Is that because, in the past, when she wanted something very much, she would do it that way, and she would slyly try to influence other people's ideas?
"..."
"Well, I can forget about those peaches you picked! But, you have to give me a gem like the one you gave to Zhen Yuanzi?"
"If you still have it..."
The Queen Mother wasn't sure if the other party still had that kind of treasure, but it didn't hurt to ask now. After all, it had to be tested.
"Eh? Is this what you're talking about?"
??(??ˊ??ˋ)??????
Anne took out a power gem. Of course, it was a replica. Anyway, she still had many. If the aunt called the Queen Mother thought it was better than gold, then she could give him one or two as a gift.
"..."
However, the Queen Mother did not speak immediately. She just concentrated slightly and looked at the purple gem that looked very sparse and ordinary.
"It's actually not impossible to give it to you!"
(??????????????????)
"But, I want to go to your peach orchard to pick some more peaches, just 'a little'!"
(o??????)????
Anne has the final say as to how much a little is!
Although she still has a lot of fruit, there will always be a day when she finishes eating it, so she takes the opportunity to pick more and put them in her little bag. It is also good to take them out and play with them when she has nothing to do, or when she is very bored!
After all, her time is unlimited. If she doesn't pick more now, where will there be enough food for her in the future?
However, she will also be kind enough to leave a little bit for the other person, and she will definitely not take it all off!
"Bring it to me first!"
The Queen Mother was noncommittal and just asked the other party to take a closer look at the purple stone.
"Oh! Here you go!"
╭(????︵??`)╯??
After blinking and pretending to feel a little distressed, Anne hesitated again and again before she had no choice but to throw it at him.
"Well?!"
"This is actually..."
After frowning and taking it, the Queen Mother first looked at it directly for a while, and then cast a spell to investigate carefully. Finally, she seemed to have discovered something, and her expression was the same as that of the old man with a beard. She became a little shocked and unhappy. Too natural?
"That's all..."
"I will tell you about the land in the Peach Garden and let you pick it on your own!"
After turning her hands and carefully hiding the stone, the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the fairy throne, finally showed a rare knowing smile.
Although this stone may not have much to do with Zhen Yuanzi's disappearance, it is still a good thing, and she doesn't mind the little girl using it in exchange!
"Huh?"
=???????=???????(●??????●|||)
"If this is the case... people still want to have a big meal!!"
??(????????ω???????)??
Back then, when little Annie was at Wuzhuang Temple, it was because she took out a copy of the Infinity Stones and took out the Space Stone in exchange for all the ginseng fruits and a big meal. So, can she also exchange for all the ginseng fruits today? Flat peaches and delicious food to eat all day long?
Anne is really looking forward to this.
"..."
"Can!"
"Come here, there's a banquet in Yaochi!!"
After staring at the little girl for a while, only to see that she was a little squirming, the Queen Mother of Yaochi, the head of the female fairies, suddenly laughed, and then waved her hand to find a fairy Gong'e and asked her to decorate it.
She didn't dare to say whether the power gem was any good or not, nor did she dare to take a closer look...
However, for a treasure that can make the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi look at her differently and come from the same origin, it is definitely worth her to exchange peaches and a banquet for it!
"..."
ヾ(????﹏??)????! !
Actually, can it really be exchanged?
Is that thing really that good? If that's the case, then Annie should be a little more diligent, take some time, and quickly comprehend all the stones that she has not fully digested except the space gems!
