She became a god

Both Lin Jingchuan and Yuantong were thieves for the first time, and they were quite uneasy. However, when they saw the Musk Orchid Beast beside them, they couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks to the spices you prepared, otherwise this musk orchid beast wouldn't have been so docile, letting us take it away without making a sound."

"The two people we've attached to are unscrupulous merchants, but at least they're rich. If it weren't for those gold leaves and the warehouse full of spices and herbs, even if I wanted to prepare, it would have been useless."

Lin Jingchuan also felt that this made sense; money can make the devil turn the millstone.

After acquiring the Musk Orchid Beast, the two couldn't help but think of their companions, Ye and Wen, wondering if they were doing well.

“Actually, we don’t need to worry about either of them,” Yuantong explained with a smile. “One is extremely lucky, and the other is extremely skilled.”

Wen Xichun is a sword cultivator. Judging from her usual moves, they are quite fierce. Even if she possesses a mortal body, killing someone would probably only take her the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Ye Qingzhou's luck is among the best in the entire Yunying Continent; as long as she doesn't court death, she won't die.

Ye Qingzhou, who was told by her dear cousin that she would die if she didn't act recklessly, was now truly on the verge of death.

She swore she really didn't do it!

She even kindly brought rain to Qinghe County!

But... she seemed to be being devoured by the power of this body.

Is this the price of using divine power?

The authority of the gods is indeed not to be offended, but... the feeling of having divine power in hand far surpasses everything. It is a terrifying power that can overturn the world, and it is also a realm that countless cultivators dream of.

I wonder what the cultivation levels of those ascended powerful beings are, and whether they can rival this Lady Zhaoji?

Enduring the pain of his soul being crushed, Ye Qingzhou looked at the special mission on the system panel.

"Yuantong, Lin Jingchuan, don't let me down."

Ye Qingzhou, attached to the divine body, also possessed the divine fiery eyes. Under her gaze, no creature could conceal itself or hide anything, revealing its most primal form.

Although she paid the price of a weakened soul for it, she was content just thinking about how she had once wielded legendary divine power.

Her soul was still too weak compared to this divine body.

If you stay here any longer, your soul will surely be tormented to death.

Fortunately, this goddess of wind and rain has a reincarnated spirit, which suits her current state.

Having made up her mind, she silently recited the incantation, and when she opened her eyes again, all she saw was darkness.

A faint smell of blood filled the air, and beneath them lay a dry, hard straw mat.

A bad feeling crept into my mind: Could she be in jail?

Ye Qingzhou took a quarter of an hour to figure out her current situation, which was quite delicate.

Shui Xian was once a favored female official of the Empress. She was young, spirited, and learned, and rode her horse through the streets.

After serving as an official in the capital for several years, he was transferred to Yangcheng as the prefect. At this time, Narcissus was only twenty years old.

To be appointed to such a high position at such a young age shows that he is favored by the emperor.

But all of this changed with the abdication of the Empress, Narcissus's biggest backer. As a remnant of the Empress's faction, Narcissus was quickly framed and imprisoned.

If it weren't for the fact that this dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and that the current emperor takes the Empress Dowager's opinion into consideration, Narcissus would probably have perished long ago.

Even so, the narcissus suffered a lot.

There were too many people in the court who disliked Shui Xian and her group of female officials. Apart from General Huo Mantuo, who held military power, and Ling Xiao, the governor of Lianghuai, who was a regional governor, most of the other female officials either got married or were demoted.

Incidentally, Narcissus was the first female official to be imprisoned.

The reason she ended up in such a predicament was twofold: first, because she was not from a prestigious family and no one came to her aid; and second, because she offended a powerful figure who tried to curry favor with her.

With a creak, the cell door opened, and the jailer looked at Ye Qingzhou with a gloomy expression. "Miss Narcissus, a distinguished guest is here to see you."

Ye Qingzhou brushed the grass clippings off his clothes and smiled, "Thank you for informing me, sir."

Watching the woman's departing figure, the jailer suddenly felt that this Narcissus girl seemed a little different.

Could it be that... he's come to terms with it?

That's understandable; following a powerful person is always better than going to jail.

The important person was indeed an important person; even when receiving people in prison, he stayed in the most comfortable room.

Ye Qingzhou knelt down promptly to pay her respects, for she was now a subject, and a criminal at that.

"This humble subject, Shui Xian, greets Princess Huaining. May the princess live a thousand years."

"You've become much more sensible in the seven days since I last saw you."

Only then did Ye Qingzhou dare to look up and examine the woman in palace attire before him. She had a beautiful face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of phoenix eyes that exuded an air of authority.

Ye Qingzhou was always a shrewd and tactful person, but at this moment he dared not say much, because the important person in front of him was the very person that the original owner had offended.

Most importantly, even after going through all of Shui Xian's memories, she still couldn't quite understand how Shui Xian had offended Princess Huaining.

As the Empress's confidante, it's quite normal for Shui Xian to refuse several invitations from the imperial grandson; it's good for both herself and Huai Ning.

Ye Qingzhou's silence displeased Huaining, who poked Ye Qingzhou's face with her long fingers until it hurt.

"Even while I'm in prison, how dare you ignore me, Mr. Xi?"

When Shui Xian first passed the imperial examination, she taught a group of princes and grandsons of the emperor for more than a month. She was quite qualified to be called Huai Ning's tutor.

Ye Qingzhou was speechless with frustration. It turned out that he really did hold a grudge because Ye Qingzhou refused to attend the banquet.

Fortunately, the famous figures in the capital praised Princess Huaining for her magnanimity and grace, and in Shuixian's memory, she was also a wise and virtuous grandson of the emperor.

But she was so stingy when I saw her today, and she seemed particularly fond of daffodils...

"hiss!"

Ye Qingzhou realized just how delicate Shui Xian's body was when his long fingernails dug into her skin and drew blood.

Huai Ning's face suddenly drew close, staring intently at him. "Are you still daydreaming? Who are you thinking about?"

"I regret it!"

Huaining raised an eyebrow, "You'll regret it too?"

"I am guilty for failing the princess's good intentions. However, I was forced to do this. In the past, when the princes were vying for the throne, I was a close minister of the emperor. Although I was honored, I was destined to be a lonely minister. How could I dare to implicate the princess?"

Ye Qingzhou put on her best acting skills, speaking righteously and crying with tears streaming down her face, yet forcing a smile. Anyone who saw her would soften their heart and think she was a virtuous and upright minister.

Huai Ning smiled and helped Ye Qingzhou up, asking meaningfully, "You really don't want to drag me down?"

"Yes."

Whether it's true or not, it has to be true; whoever wants to go to jail can continue to do so!

"Are you truly repentant?"

"nature."

Freedom is so precious, what's wrong with compromising? We'll deal with everything once we get out of here.

"Then come back to the manor with me."

"Ah!" Ye Qingzhou was stunned. Could she, a disgraced official, really leave so easily?

Moreover, she has no military power or real authority, so why would Huaining want to keep her by his side?

Did the original owner, Narcissus, have any other benefits?

Huaining was half a head taller than the original owner. She touched the tiny scratch she had made and complained, "If you hadn't been angry with me, why would you have suffered like this?"

Ye Qingzhou was at a loss for words and only wanted to get away from this princess, so he belittled himself.

"I am deeply grateful for the princess's kindness. I am aware of my lowly status and only need a humble abode to live in. How could I dare to set foot in the princess's residence?"

"I can't bear to part with it."
