Chapter Eleven: The Cloud Basket Princess

  In the wooden house, Xu Kong had collected the three flavors of true fire, and even this female corpse did not dare to escape.

  He ordered Wang Qi to light the candle and shine it on the woman's face, and indeed her beauty was extraordinary. Xuán Kōng's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't want to talk to the corpse anymore, so he casually asked: "Do you still remember your own name?"

  Although she had received the imperial edict, the female corpse still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. She showed a nostalgic expression and said: "I remember that in those years, Your Majesty gave me the title of Yun Lou, now I don't know where Your Majesty's soul has gone."

  Xuan Kong listened to her tone of sorrow and pointed to the top of his head: "Your Datang Emperor, now in heaven is also very majestic!"

  The female corpse suddenly lifted her head, looking at Xuan Kong with surprise and delight, but didn't dare ask more questions.

  With a flip of his wrist, the jade pendant of Yunluo Junzhu was tossed into the air, and a spell seal was slapped onto it. The originally palm-sized jade pendant slowly floated in mid-air, emitting golden light, and a majestic aura enveloped its surface.

  The cultivation of Yunluo Junzhu has not yet reached the point where she can directly convert the yang energy of a living person into her own, so after absorbing the yang energy, it is stored in the Tang Wang Yupei.

  Xuan Kong nodded, increasing his magical output. The jade pendant emitted nine faint True Dragon illusions, which Xuan Kong fixed in mid-air. Each illusion then spat out a small cluster of fine, living Yang energy.

  With a reverse motion, he retrieved the nine balls of yang energy back into his sleeve. Xuan Kong handed the jade pendant back to Yun Lou County Princess and said, "This is the Seven Treasures Jade Pendant, which has the effect of stabilizing one's appearance and protecting one's body. The Tang Emperor really does care about you deeply."

  He couldn't figure out the relationship between Yun Lou and Tang Wang. In theory, all of Tang Wang's daughters should have been given the title of princess, but for some reason, Yun Lou was only a county lady.

  But this doesn't matter, Xuan Kong didn't have the heart to guess anyway.

  Yun Lou County Master listened to Xuan Kong's words, and on the day she woke up after hundreds of years, it was still her first time knowing the news of her old friend, and she couldn't help but feel joyful. Wang Qi stared at her, and indeed showed a shy and elegant demeanor.

  Xuán Kōng however didn't have any feelings, having seen all sorts of beauties in his past life, and thinking that Yún Lúo's true form was a female corpse who had been dead for hundreds of years made him even less interested.

  He patted Wang Qi's shoulder and let him come back to his senses: "Take it!"

  Wang Qi's full attention was focused on Yun Lou's mistress, and he was suddenly startled by Xuan Kong, saying: "Big brother, what's the matter again?"

  Xuan Kong seemed to be smiling but not really smiling. Looking at Wang Qi's expression, it was as if he had truly forgotten about the matter. He stretched out his hand: "My Zi Yang True Symbol, aren't you going to return it to me?"

  Wang Qi only then came to his senses, but not really, he had just risked his life to remove the talisman from Yun Lou's head and had hastily tucked it into his own bosom before escaping underground without returning it to his senior brother. He felt a bit embarrassed, so he quickly presented the Purple Sun True Symbol with both hands:

  "Big Brother Master, I..."

  Xuán Kōng put away the true symbol, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I know what you mean, no need to say it out loud!" In the past, those younger brothers in the bar saw a spicy girl, all with this piggy expression, how could Xuán Kōng not understand?

  Wang Qi leaned in close to Xuan Kong's ear and said: "Big Brother Master, this girl looks quite pleasing to the eye."

  Xuan Kong glanced at Yun Lou's pale face, then looked at Wang Qi's lustful expression and smiled: "I'm afraid the young lady won't like your lecherous appearance."

  The Cloud Basket County Master lowered her head, silent and unresponsive. In her heart, she also found Wang Qi annoying, but didn't dare to refuse in front of Xuan Kong. She gritted her teeth, the more she looked at Wang Qi, the less attractive he became. If Xuan Kong wasn't present, she could have torn Wang Qi apart and eaten him with salt.

  After comforting Wang Qi for a few words, this little brother was indeed lovely and pure, but just too impatient.

  At this moment, let Yun Lou county master get up, and take a closer look at Yun Lou again. Sometimes, being good-looking is indeed an advantage. Xuan Kong himself thought that if Yun Lou county master had a swollen face, dripping corpse fluid, and bleeding from all seven orifices, he would be in trouble.

  Without even thinking about it, after getting infected with the evil spirit, I would have been killed by a single sword as if I were an evil spirit, and I couldn't even have a good conversation with her.

  Just as he was about to bid farewell to Yunzhao Gongzhu, Xuan Kong suddenly furrowed his brow and pulled Wang Qi over: "Have you ever smelled demonic energy?"

  Wang Qi didn't understand what Xuan Kong was saying, sniffed his nose for a long time, and laughed: "Big Brother Master, you're also too tense, under our Lao Mountain, where is there any harmful monster?"

  "Isn't what's in front of you a monster?" Xuan Kong pointed at Yun Lou Princess and scolded.

  Wang Qi's mouth opened, but he was speechless. Only then did he realize that from the moment he saw Yun Lou Princess until now, he had never smelled any demonic energy on her body. If it were a mountain spirit who cultivated in solitude and never harmed anyone, it would be normal for them not to have any demonic energy on their body.

  However, Yun Lian Gongzhu clearly injured several hunters in the village.

  If there's no demonic energy here, then that would be unreasonable, wouldn't it?

  With a glance at Master Brother, Wang Qi said: "And those few merchants are also too strange, right? Clearly knowing that the carriage is transporting zombies, how can they still run far away?" His question was left unanswered by Xuan Kong.

  Because a voice had already come from the entrance: "What you said is right, those few little offenders didn't not want to escape, it's just that with me here they can't run."

  Xuan Kong jumped up from his chair, summoned his treasured sword with a wave of his hand, and blocked Wang Qi's path: "It's not that there's no demonic energy, but rather that Fellow Daoist has cast a spell to suppress the demonic energy from spreading out, isn't that right?" His eyes were fixed on the entrance, where he saw a stout Daoist wearing brocade robes walking in.

  This man was white and plump, wearing a suit of expensive brocade, except for the Taoist bun on his head to prove his identity, he looked like a rich merchant in town.

  "Who would have thought that after decades of not leaving the mountain, Mount La has produced a true master." Fat Daoist applauded and laughed.

  Xuan Kong couldn't help but secretly measure himself, and he absolutely didn't have the skill to toy with Yun Luo's master in a playful manner. He couldn't help but feel apprehensive towards this fat Taoist priest. In a deep voice, he asked: "I am Xuan Kong of Lao Shan Sect, may I ask your esteemed surname and name?"

  The fat Taoist priest smiled and said in a warm voice: "Alright, alright, just call me Deng Lizi."

  "Plasma? So high-tech?" Xu Kong doubted his own ears, wondering if he had misheard what the fat man said.

  The fat Taoist smiled and nodded, saying: "I am from the Kongtong Sect, my Taoist name is Deng Lizzi." Xuan Kong calculated in his heart that the generation of the Kongtong Sect for the past five generations was indeed the "Lichendatian" five characters, and it turned out that this fat Taoist was actually the highest generation of the Kongtong Sect currently in the mortal world.

  He was of the same generation as the current leader of the Quanzhen School, Wang Chuyi.

  "This is troublesome!" Xuankong retreated two steps, his left hand secretly grasping a spell seal, and warned: "Senior is not in Congtou to collect blessings, what brings you to my Collapsing Mountain territory?"

  Fat Daoist smiled and said, "There's no noble business, just some mundane matters to settle." He stood at the door, but nobody noticed that his other hand was still holding a golden lock, which was locked onto Nie, the hunter from Shangyang Mountain who had come seeking help.

  Fat Daoist explained: "I haven't been down the mountain for decades, and I don't know that you have established a sect in Cuishan. Come visit me another day to celebrate." He pointed at Yun Lou and said: "This girl is also pitiful, I took her in and sent her on some errands, please spare her face and let her go."
