Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

It started to rain in the evening, and the rain quickly became heavy. The wind was strong and the rain was torrential, making the tiles and the ground patter loudly.

Ye Qing'an closed the window and turned around to see Eleven lying on the bed looking at her.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"It's nothing." Eleven pulled the blanket up to her nose, her eyes filled with nostalgia. "I just suddenly felt a bit sentimental."

Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Feeling sentimental? You're so young, yet you have such a heavy heart. What are you sentimental about?"

As he spoke, he walked to the bedside and sat down.

Eleven's mouth was covered by the blanket, and her voice was a little muffled: "I was thinking about the past. Mother used to be most afraid of rain. The thatched hut we lived in always leaked. When it rained, especially when it rained heavily, it would leak everywhere. The bed and the blankets would get wet. Every time it rained, Mother could only hold an umbrella and watch over me while I slept."

“I just saw Mother closing the window, and I was thinking that although many people in this mansion don’t like us and treat us badly, at least the house won’t leak when it rains, and Mother can get a good night’s sleep when it rains. That’s good.”

Ye Qing'an ruffled Eleven's hair: "You're easily satisfied."

"No, it's just that we've gotten used to being bullied by many people in the village. There are always people who bully us, so it's good enough that we can live in a big house and have enough to eat and wear. But I will definitely build a big mansion for my mother in the future, so that only we will be safe and no one will bully us anymore."

Ye Qing'an stared at Eleven for a long while before nodding: "You will have it. You will have everything you want."

Eleven responded with a yawn, feeling a heaviness in his head, and his voice unconsciously lowered: "I'm so sleepy."

"Go to sleep if you're tired."

As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she saw that Eleven had already fallen asleep.

Ye Qing'an chuckled, then climbed onto the couch and entered the Cloud Dreamland.

Ye Qing'an found Jiu Xiao: "I need to leave the mansion to find the masked man I saw in the palace. Do you have a way to let me leave the mansion quietly without alerting anyone?"

Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow: "It's just a common transformation technique, what's so difficult about it? After you enter the Cloud Dream Realm, you can go wherever you want without making a sound. However, there must be no one in the place where you go whose profound spiritual techniques are superior to yours, otherwise you will be discovered."

As Jiu Xiao spoke, he glanced at Ye Qing'an and said, "Hmm, with your current Xuanling Technique... it's really not easy to avoid being discovered. So I think that for now, you'd better use the Conversion Technique less."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing'an frowned: "I also want to improve my Xuanling Technique quickly, but relying solely on meditation or absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth for cultivation is simply too slow."

“Like Ye Weilan and the others, they started cultivating from a young age and have been cultivating for more than ten years now. Although I have high talent, my cultivation progress is not much higher than that of ordinary people. Does that mean I have to wait ten years to defeat Ye Weilan and the others? That would be too long.”

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, a strange sense of irritation rising within her: "Besides, Ye Weilan and the others have had masters guiding them since childhood, and there are all sorts of secret manuals available for them to learn..."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Jiu Xiao's expression became somewhat strange. After a long while, he coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, actually..."

"I originally wanted to tell you a secret, but you mocked me for being useless, which angered me, so I didn't tell you."

"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, a vague suspicion forming in her mind: "What secret?"

"To explain this secret, we must start with the origin of the Cloud Dream Realm. The Cloud Dream Realm was originally a dream left behind by an ancient immortal in the Cloud Dream Marsh. It was imbued with the spiritual power of the ancient immortal. Because the spiritual power was so abundant, it gave birth to these things. Later, it was found by a person with the Nine Yuan Supreme Body, who used the Cloud Dream Realm to achieve great success, and then passed it down."

"This Cloud Dream Realm can only be obtained and used by those with the Nine Yuan Supreme Body. Moreover, the things in this illusion will change as the spiritual power of the illusion's owner increases and the level rises. Gradually, some things left behind by those Nine Yuan Supreme Body individuals will appear."

"And because of its abundant spiritual energy, cultivating here will increase your power four to five times compared to cultivating elsewhere. Moreover, as your level increases, the spiritual energy here will also increase as you nourish it. The Cloud Dream Realm and its master have a mutually beneficial relationship..."

As Jiu Xiao spoke, he noticed that Ye Qing'an's gaze towards him was slightly off.

This made him feel increasingly uneasy, and his voice grew softer and softer.

"What's wrong? Continue." Ye Qing'an said expressionlessly, her voice calm and even: "Keep talking, I also want to know what else you're hiding from me."

Jiuxiao coughed lightly: "I don't know much else either. For example, what will appear here after you level up is something I don't know. The guardians here are not static either. Each guardian is personally selected by the previous guardian when they pass away, and then sealed here, waiting for the master to break the seal."

"Guardians mostly share the same lifespan as their masters."

Ye Qing'an frowned: "Sharing life and longevity, what does that mean? You live, I live? You die, I die?"

"No." Jiuxiao quickly shook his head: "It's not that you and I share the same lifespan, but that you and I live and die, but my life and death cannot affect you in any way."

After Jiuxiao finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and quickly corrected himself: "No, it means we will live and die together."

"Is that so?" Ye Qing'an said nonchalantly. "Then why don't I kill you now and see?"

Jiuxiao was sweating profusely: "Isn't that unnecessary? Let's not talk about that. I just wanted to tell you that you can come here to cultivate in the future. One year of your cultivation here is equivalent to five or six years of others' cultivation. As your spiritual power increases, it will also change as your spiritual power increases. In the future, perhaps one year of your cultivation here will be equivalent to ten or eight years of others' cultivation to catch up."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Very well. However, you've kept this a secret for so long..."

Jiu Xiao coughed lightly, then hurriedly changed the subject: "Didn't you just want to see that masked man? What was his name again? Xu Mo? Where does he live? Let me think..."

"Ah, I remember now, Lanting Xiaozhu in Bai'an Lane, west of the city, right?"

Jiuxiao swiftly chanted an incantation: "Ready? Let's go!"
