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

The mother and son mounted their horses and set off. Eleven nestled in Ye Qing'an's arms, her brows slightly furrowed: "Are we going back to the Ye family?"

"But even if we go back to the Ye family, we'll probably be bullied..."

"Mother, I'm a little scared."

Eleven lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Although the people in the village are fierce, they don't practice Xuanling arts and they don't have spiritual power."

"But shouldn't quite a few members of the Ye family practice Xuanling techniques?"

Ye Qing'an raised her hand and touched Eleven's hair: "The Ye family is going back. Some things that should belong to me have been occupied by them for so long, and it's time to return them to me."

Eleven blinked: "What is that?"

Ye Qing'an smiled: "Something that can ensure we have good food, drink, and shelter, and live a worry-free life."

Seeing that Eleven still looked puzzled, Ye Qing'an didn't continue to explain, but simply said, "But I won't go back to the Ye family immediately after returning to Wangjing."

"I'll find a place to stay for a few days first and make some plans in advance."

Ye Qing'an's eyes were dark and deep: "Don't worry, Eleven. If I'm going to take you back, I will naturally do so under safe circumstances."

“I said I would never let you suffer any more bullying, and I have to keep my word.”

Eleven didn't know what Ye Qing'an meant by "planning," but she obediently didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, no matter what, I'll follow Mother. Wherever Mother goes, I'll go."

Ye Qing'an took Eleven into Wangjing City and found an inn to stay in.

After a bumpy and tiring journey, I was exhausted and fell asleep in bed.

Ye Qing'an then began to meditate and cultivate on the bed.

Concentrate your energy and focus your mind; let your breath circulate throughout your body. Then, the scene before you changes again.

Grasslands full of flowers, lakes...

It is a dreamlike cloudscape.

No sooner had this conclusion been reached than Ye Qing'an saw a silvery-white shadow emerge from behind a nearby rock, and in a matter of moments, a gaping maw suddenly appeared before Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an remained motionless, staring indifferently at the horrifying scene before him.

"roll."

The gaping maw closed, and the silvery-white head shrank back.

"Tsk." With a soft tsk, a wisp of white mist rose, and a white figure stood three steps away from Ye Qing'an.

It was still that face that could captivate all, but now it was filled with a look of disappointment that didn't match its radiant beauty.

"This is so boring. Can't you just pretend to be scared?" Jiu Xiao said with a mocking look in his eyes. "I did the same thing back at the manor. I scared those old women so much that they froze and fainted. You didn't see it, one of the old women even peed herself from fright."

Recalling the scene, Jiuxiao couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I was sealed in this illusion for so long, and I haven't been out in ages. I haven't done anything this interesting. If there's anything this fun next time, remember to summon me!"

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and looked at the coarse cloth dress she was wearing: "Where is Ye Weilan?"

Jiuxiao waved his hand: "You told me not to kill her, so I threw her off the high cliff."

"What a pity, she reacted quite quickly and immediately used her mystical magic to protect herself and land on the ground."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Ye Weilan cannot die for the time being."

"I've returned to Wangjing, and I plan to go back to the Ye family in a couple of days to reclaim what belongs to me."

"Although I can cultivate now, I've only just begun. If I go back like this, I'll be devoured without a trace. I need you to do something for me..."

"That sounds interesting." Jiuxiao blinked. "What do you want me to do for you?"

Ye Qing'an looked at him: "I need someone, someone I can rely on, someone who will ensure that no one dares to touch me after I return to the Ye family. But I don't understand this world, so I need you to help me find someone, to look for someone..."

Jiuxiao looked somewhat confused: "Who? There's someone like that?"

Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly, almost unable to control the urge to roll her eyes: "I suddenly regret making a spirit beast contract with you. It was so foolish. I'm afraid you'll only hold me back in the future."

"..." Jiu Xiao was speechless: "Hey, it was clearly your own fault for not speaking clearly, and you're blaming me? I advise you not to offend me so easily, after all..."

Jiuxiao deliberately kept everyone in suspense, not revealing the whole story.

Ye Qing'an ignored him and simply beckoned to him with her finger: "Come closer."

Jiu Xiao looked reluctant, but he still went over.

Ye Qing'an whispered to him for a while before taking two steps back: "This matter needs to be done as soon as possible. Can you... do it?"

Ye Qing'an's words, clearly tinged with contempt and suspicion, made Jiu Xiao take a deep breath to suppress the urge to reveal his true form and fight Ye Qing'an. With a wave of his hand, he disappeared from the illusion.

Ye Qing'an then left the illusion and continued practicing her Qi.

When Eleven woke up, Ye Qing'an took her for a stroll around Wangjing City.

Eleven grew up in the village and had never been to Wangjing. Everything he saw there was new and interesting to him.

Seeing the curious look in Shiyi's eyes, Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, her desire to stay in Wangjing growing stronger.

That night, Ye Qing'an went to the illusion again and met Jiu Xiao.

"I've brought the person back to you." Jiu Xiao's face showed a hint of resentment: "You lied to me."

"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an looked at him and almost laughed. "I lied to you? What did I lie to you about?"

“Tell me, those people of noble status usually have a lot of treasures around them. If I have the ability, I can easily steal them and take them for myself.”

"Was I not telling the truth?"

Jiuxiao gritted his teeth: "It's the truth, there are treasures. But you didn't tell me that those people of noble status are usually heavily guarded. Do you know that on this trip, I not only didn't find any treasures, but I almost lost my life."

Ye Qing'an was somewhat surprised: "Is it because the person you brought here is of too high a status, or are you simply not good enough?"

"..." Jiuxiao almost jumped up and down: "Who are you talking about? Who's no good?"

Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered something: "You only said before that forming a spirit beast contract with you could break the seal, and I didn't think anything of it, so I formed a contract with you. Speaking of which, I forgot to ask what level of spirit beast you are?"

Seeing Jiu Xiao's expression change, Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Spirit beasts are divided into mortal, earth, heaven, spirit, saint, and god ranks. Only spirit-rank beasts can take human form. Since you can take human form, you must be at least spirit-rank, right?"

Jiuxiao remained silent.

"Could it be that you're not even a Spirit Rank cultivator? That shouldn't be the case."

Jiuxiao gritted his teeth: "Why say so much? You've already formed a spirit beast contract with me. Once a spirit beast contract is formed, it cannot be broken. What do you care about my rank? I've put you in the dilapidated temple in the back mountain. Aren't you going to go and check on you?"
