Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"arrive."

Wang You's reminder brought her back from her distraction. When she looked up, she realized that she had unknowingly arrived at the gate of Guyang City.

"I'll give you a little break tonight. This is your last indulgence before you go into seclusion."

Shen Qiao responded and just got off his horse, but he saw that the man didn't seem to have any intention of getting off. "Hmm? Aren't you coming with me?"

"Zhan Meng and I have something to discuss, so we have to go back first."

"Oh..." She thought Wang You would come together.

It's so boring to go shopping alone.

Wang You looked at her slightly resentful eyes, led the horse forward a few steps, and just raised his hand to touch Shen Qiao's head.

I forgot to let this kid tidy himself up when I went out to play, and he was like a little lion with his fur standing on end.

He thought about it and tapped her head lightly with his fingers. "You have to practice tomorrow, don't come back too late."

Shen Qiao shrank his neck when he was hit, and subconsciously covered his head, "I know."

Wang You was amused by this look. He chuckled, turned the horse around, and said, "Let's go."

Shen Qiao watched him walk away before turning around and heading into the city.

Forget it, since I'm here, I might as well take a look around.

It was already dark and the lanterns in the city were put up, so if you started from the city gate you could just walk all the way there.

She had just slowly entered the city gate when she looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"The time is right, let's go."

Shen Qiao stared at Wu Jin for three or four seconds, then asked with some surprise, "Why did you come down the mountain?"

"My master was worried you'd be bored wandering around by yourself, so he asked me to be your attendant for a night." Wu Jin, still in her female form, looked at Shen Qiao and raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly. "Not bad, you still know how to dress yourself up. I was thinking of taking you to a jewelry store first to buy you a hairpin for your hair."

Shen Qiao was puzzled, "?"

She raised her hand and tried again, and found that the feeling was indeed not right.

Wu Jin seemed to understand something. She conjured a mirror and said, "Here, take a look?"

Shen Qiao looked at herself in the mirror. She was a girl in her teens, with fair, tender skin and her jet-black hair still neatly tied up. However, the wooden hairpin she had worn had been replaced with a red plum blossom hairpin with a gold-threaded rim. A small tassel of jade beads dangled from the end of the hairpin, swaying slightly as she walked, adding a playful touch.

"Your master just changed it for you." Chi Musheng, who always has a broad perspective, explained.

"Have fun. After we get back, we'll have to discuss some time with that person. I also have something to teach you."

Well, now that I've said that...

Shen Qiao naturally pulled Wu Jin along, "Let's go! Let's go! First, we'll go to Wushan Pavilion in the north market to buy some snacks, and then we'll go to Jinmen Tower to get a roast goose and a tray of soup dumplings. Oh, yeah, I remember Baishanfang is going to release new medicinal food around this time. Their Fuling cake is delicious, so I'll take some home too."

As Wu Jin was dragged along, he went over her words in his mind. "Huh? I thought you weren't familiar with this place."

Shen Qiao took ten red bills from the guard in charge and gave five to Wu Jin. "I just remembered it from my previous life."

This ticket is used to vote for your favorite lantern. The city will eventually select the 100 lanterns with the most votes to be displayed during the Lantern Festival. Prizes will be awarded for these lanterns. After the display, the owner of the selected lantern can decide whether to auction it off or keep it. Keeping the selected lantern will also receive a Spirit Stone reward based on the ranking. Of course, participating in the auction will earn you even more Spirit Stones.

"Oh, last life? Huh? Wait! 'Last life'!?" Wu Jin was still fiddling with the five bills. When he heard Shen Qiao's words, he suddenly realized what was going on and was startled. "Have you already remembered..."

"Yes." Seeing Wu Jin's surprised eyes, Shen Qiao smiled brightly with great satisfaction.

"Master has already told me most of the things, and I also know about the affairs of the underworld."

Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, but seeing Shen Qiao's relaxed look, he felt relieved again.

When passing by a candied haws stall, Wu Jin bought two different ones and gave them to Shen Qiao to choose from. "It seems that you have a good grasp of taste."

"I thought you'd be scared."

Shen Qiao picked a bunch of oranges and took a bite of one. "Well... I'm not afraid, but there are definitely some surprises."

"Let's do the math. In my previous life, I was an emperor god, and in this life, I follow your Lord of the Underworld. I can be considered someone who has been involved in both the black and white worlds."

When Wu Jin heard her mention her past life so naturally, the last bit of worry in his heart disappeared.

The fact that she could talk about these things so easily showed that she had truly let them go.

"Hmm? That rabbit is pretty!"

Wu Jin came to his senses and turned around to look for it subconsciously. "Rabbit? Where is it?"

She was looking everywhere, but suddenly she felt a weight on her head. She turned to look at Shen Qiao, only to see that the girl was looking at her with ill intentions.

"Here~"

Wu Jin was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and tried it, and sure enough, a pair of furry things appeared on his head.

The corners of her mouth twitched, "You girl..."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Shen Qiao comforted him and consciously put one on his head.

"It's the same now."

Wu Jin looked at her smiling face and smiled unconsciously. He raised his hand and pinched her face, "I reluctantly forgive you."

Emperor God, oh Emperor God...you missed a good disciple.

While the two were strolling, in a small pavilion on the top of Fuyu Mountain in Tianxingmen, Wang You and Zhan Meng were sitting opposite each other drinking this year's newly brewed pine flower wine.

"It would be even better if he could be tamed. That thing wasn't supposed to leave the secret realm, but it seems something went wrong while it was being devoured, and your apprentice took control of it, allowing it to follow out."

Zhan Meng snorted and shook his head helplessly. "If that's the case, then I'll just let him be. This kind of soul object is easy to handle, but as you said, it's now mostly fused with Zhang Zhi. If we rashly separate it, it will definitely be damaged."

"This shows that they are quite compatible." Wang You drank the last of the wine and stood up. "From another perspective, this is also a good thing."

"Just think of it as having an extra clone, so that when I fall asleep, there will be someone outside to look after me."

Zhan Meng played with the wine cup in his hand and thought for a moment, "I hadn't planned to teach him this so early, but now it seems... it really can't be delayed any longer."

After saying that, he looked at Wang You standing up to leave with some surprise. He took a sip of wine and asked curiously, "But... you're leaving so soon? Isn't Shen Qiao coming back tonight? Why are you going back so early?"

"That's what I told her." Wang You had already sensed the familiar spiritual power.

"But it's cute when a little girl rebels occasionally."
