Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The New Year’s Eve dinner concluded with Qiao Mai’s magic tricks, and the emperor kept Qiao Mai’s family behind, continuing the conversation in the grand hall.

“Are you visiting relatives on the second day of the New Year?”

“No, we’re not.”

“How about I bring the empress, Jiai, and the Eleventh Prince to visit you?”

“That’s fine.

“I also want to go. Is it allowed?”

The old Taoist erged from the corner, and the emperor felt awkward. “Qing Feng, have you rested well?”

“I only need a short ditation to restore my vitality.”

With a cold expression, Qiao Mai looked at Qingfeng. “Old man, don’t be swayed by montary desires. Stay on the right path.”

Qingfeng hesitated, observing her, and then bowed to Qiao Mai.

“Madam, there’s a demonic aura on you.”

Qiao Mai couldn’t bother to argue with him. “Old man, just say that I am a demon.”

“You’re not a demon; you’re a soul that has entered soone else’s body. It violates the natural order. It’s better to leave this body soon.”

“Oh, screw you. I also want to leave. Violating the natural order? This is just Heaven playing tricks on , bringing here. What nonsense are you spouting? Let leave?”

“If you don’t leave, I must take action myself.”

“Co on.”

The old Taoist swung a Buddhist relic towards her and chanted an incantation while Qiao Mai stood motionless.

After a while, the old Taoist opened his eyes, seeing Qiao Mai unhard. He closed his eyes again, continued chanting, and finally pointed at Qiao Mai with two fingers.

She was too angry today. Did this old man beco too impatient? Now, he wants to seize the spatial treasure for himself.

She focused her ntal power and collided with the red light. The old Taoist scread, flying backward and falling to the ground.

Qiao Mai sneered, “With such low cultivation, you want to seize my treasures?

Watch cripple you.”

The emperor pleaded, “In-law, please spare him. He’s a good friend of mine. Spare his life for my sake.”

Approaching the old Taoist, Qiao Mai pressed his forehead, retracting her hand after a mont.

She glared at him. “Because of your rit in the mortal world, I spare your life. Greed leads to a lifeti of mistakes. Your cultivation ends here.’

The old Taoist looked at her. “Are you… a cultivator?”

“You haven’t transcended the human form yet wants to snatch my possessions? Get lost.”

The emperor quickly ordered palace servants to help the old Taoist back to Qingfeng Hall.

“In-law, is that true?”

“As long as you understand.”

The family looked at her. Ling’er and Haichuan were confused, thinking the old Taoist intended harm to their mother.

However, Yuan Jiaqi seed to understand but didn’t say much.

After a short while, they bid farewell.

The emperor, empress, Jiai, and the Eleventh Prince were baffled and couldn’t figure it out. In the end, they attributed the whole matter to the Taoist.

The emperor rushed to Qingfeng Hall and looked at the Taoist resting on the bed.

“Qingfeng, what happened to you today?”

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have given in to greed for a mont.”

“She’s a cultivator?”

“Yes, and her cultivation is extrely high. She could kill like an ant.”

“With your high level of cultivation, you still couldn’t match her?”

Qingfeng sighed, “Do you know what she did in the end, pressing on my head?” “What did she do?”

“She was probing my mories. This is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can do. I have read historical records of various sects. This is called the soul-searching technique. At the lowest level, it turns people into idiots after probing, but I’m still fine. What she used was an advanced technique. I can’t compare to her.”

“What about the demonic aura you ntioned?”

“It should be her pet. I have read records on this subject. Demonic pets co in many forms. Hers might be a demonic beast.”

“Oh my, she’s been so low-key, hiding in the capital for many years. She’s a cultivator. This is incredible.”

“My heart is damaged. I’ll recover here with my old friend. After that, I’ll return to the mountain. Once I leave, it might be impossible for us to et again.”

“When I have free ti, I’ll visit you.”

“Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to et again.”

Back in his chambers, the emperor couldn’t sleep all night. At this mont, Yuan Jiaqi faced Qiao Mai. “Wife, aren’t you her?”

“No, when my soul entered her body, she had just died. There was no possession involved.”

“So, you saved her and her child?”

“Yes.”

“What about him wanting to take your treasures?”

“I have a spatial ability. Do you understand what space is?”

Yuan Jiaqi shook his head, and Qiao Mai explained, “Imagine having a movable house you can shrink and carry around with lots of space inside.”

His eyes lit up. “You an the things that appear with a wave of your hand co from there?”

“Yes. He got greedy, thinking it would be easy to seize them. Little did he know he kicked a hornet’s nest. Understand now?”

“I understand. Any more explanations needed?”

“Wife, feel like we’re living in a fairy tale. It’s so unbelievable.”

“Are you scared?”

“Not at all. It just feels dreamlike and magical. My life is worthwhile after experiencing such wonders.”

“Of course. Get so sleep. We’ll be ho tomorrow waiting for them to visit for the New Year.’

“I can’t sleep. I’m too excited.”

Qiao Mai slapped his neck lightly, and Yuan Jiaqi fainted. She covered him with a blanket and sighed.

He seed to have one more question about cultivation. She knew he only understood that she was practicing but not cultivating. If he pressed further, she would lose her privacy.

Oh, there was also the spatial ability. She hadn’t taken him inside yet.

Lying next to him, she patted his cheek gently. “Curiosity killed the cat. From now on, don’t ask. It’s better not to know everything. So mysteries are for the best.”

On the first day of the lunar new year, everyone gathered in the front hall. In previous years, no one ca to offer New Year’s greetings.

This year, the Wang family, Lu Ruyi, the Eleventh Prince, and Jiai will co to pay their respects.

Old Master and Mistress Wang were present, creating a lively atmosphere not seen in a long ti.

Qiao Mai had prepared many gifts, presenting each person with a suitable gift.

Even the Eleventh Prince and Jiai received gifts, maintaining her generosity.

Surprisingly, Prince Shunqin also ca to wish them a Happy New Year with Jiaru.

Old Mistress Wang found it unexpected, but since they considered themselves juniors and ca with sincerity, she was pleased.

Three tables were set for lunch, and everyone enjoyed a satisfying al. Even Prince Shunqin ate much for the first ti, probably benefiting from Jiaru’s influence.

The once-a-year festivity was chaotic, but Qiao Mai didn’t say anything.

After eating and drinking, they took many items as gifts, like a daughter returning ho.

After seeing off the guests, Old Master and Mistress Wang returned to the courtyard, discussing Prince Shunqin.

Old Master Wang tolled his eyes. “You’re getting more confused as you get older.”

“Then explain? We’ve lived here for several years. but he has never visited.’ “Jiai marrying into this family is one reason. Ling’er marrying the Eleventh Prince is another. The emperor was always with him. He is clearly cultivating the crown prince. Do you understand?”

Old Mistress Wang was surprised. “In the end, it’s all for power.”

“What else? Ling’er is the future empress. If they don’t befriend the future heir, whom should they befriend?”

“Tsk. But it’s also good now. With this backing, Jiaru doesn’t have to worry about being mistreated there.”

“Hmph, you have long hair but a short sight.”

Old Mistress Wang glared. “Would you dare to say that in front of Qiao Mai?”

“Hehe, she’s different. An exception.”

“Humph! You old man, always bullying ..”
