Hell Emperor

Seeing Ye Jie returning, Guazi took the initiative to step forward and help him answer his questions:

"Aunt Meng's wine country does not raise idle people. In addition to our seven chief maids, there are hundreds of maids. Now they are all idle. They live in Qionglou Picture Scroll and have nothing to do all day long. It is better to add wine country If you open it, you can also earn some worldly wealth to subsidize your expenses."

Ye Jie was a little curious: "Wait a minute, you are all ghosts. Now you are opening a wine shop in the human world, and you are also opening it in Chang'an City. Is it really okay? Won't you be kicked out by the defenders?"

Poria shook the folding fan and explained: "Thanks to Wei Zheng's help. In order to make up for the mistake of killing Meng Junyao's biological father, he specifically informed the officials in the city, so the wine country was able to open smoothly."

On the side, Xia Wei showed a bit of surprise: "Can humans also eat ghost food? I thought that humans and ghost food are not the same."

Ye Jie carefully explained: "Ghosts have no body, and the food they eat is essentially spiritual energy that has been cooked and processed. This is how the spiritual delicacies in the wine country come from. Of course, people can eat it, but people cannot eat it." You won’t feel full after eating spiritual delicacies.”

Xia Wei understood, but there was still a bit of curiosity in her bright eyes: "Since they can't eat enough, why do people still eat spiritual delicacies? Is it just a taste?"

Ye Jie smiled: "The focus of spiritual power delicacies is not the food, but the spiritual power. When a living person eats spiritual power delicacies, it is like absorbing a stream of pure spiritual energy, and the spiritual power in the body will increase. It is very helpful for cultivation. Of course, the spiritual delicacies cooked by Aunt Meng’s Wine Country are also delicious and can attract diners.”

Xia Wei was a little curious again: "How are spiritual power delicacies made? Why can spiritual power be given different flavors?"

Mint leaned over, her cat ears raised: "Do you think anyone can cook spiritual delicacies? If you want to cook spiritual delicacies, the spiritual power used must be freshly refined, especially the three moments after the crops are mature and the monsters die. "Jia, different spiritual powers produce different flavors, just like the Kui cattle you killed, the spiritual power extracted from it is beef-flavored."

Yulan also added: "Mortals can speed up their cultivation by eating monster beasts. In essence, they absorb the spiritual power contained in the monster beast's body. However, those spiritual powers are hidden under the monster's body and have long been Integrated with the monster beast, it is so complex that it cannot be absorbed directly. It must be eaten together with the monster beast's body and digested slowly, just as it is difficult for people to directly absorb the violent spiritual power in the treasures of heaven and earth and refine it. Like elixirs, the cooking of spiritual delicacies is precisely to fully absorb the spiritual power within the monsters.”

Xia Wei understood and heard Guazi say: "By the way, when the spiritual power in the monster's body is refined and only an empty shell is left, eating their physical body will have no effect."

On the side, Fu Ling looked thoughtful: "In the wine country, You Kui has always been responsible for cooking spiritual delicacies. If you want to learn, you can ask her more often. Hey, I don't know if the spiritual delicacies cooked by You Kui are suitable. In line with the appetite of the residents of the city..."

Hearing Fuling mention Youkui, Ye Jie turned his head and saw the quietest and silent one among the maids. She had purple hair, her mouth was sewn shut with needlework, and she never said a word.

You Kui's presence was very low. If Fuling hadn't mentioned it, Ye Jie would have almost forgotten that there was such a head maid.

"Speaking of which, I saw that Youkui's appearance was a bit... unusual. What's going on?" Ye Jie asked with concern.

The maids fell into silence. Even Xia Wei noticed the strangeness of everyone. Guazi sighed and explained:

"Now that things have happened, Brother Jie is certainly qualified to know the experiences of the maids. Youkui is a poor person. When she was young, she was sold into a wealthy family as a maid. She was discovered by the mistress of the family because she stole food from the kitchen. The mistress was so angry that she sewed her mouth shut with needle and thread, and then pushed her down the dry well and threw her to death."

Mentioning the past, Youkui lowered his head, tears filled with tears, and raised his hands to wipe away the tears.

After learning about Youkui's past, Xia Wei's pupils shrank, her small fists clenched tightly, her eyes widened, and her evil aura condensed: "How could such a thing happen? Where is the mistress of that family now? Tell me ! Xia Wei must help Miss Youkui get justice!"

Seeing that Xia Wei was furious, Ye Jie quickly stretched out his hand, patted her back, helped her calm down, and persuaded her: "Calm down, Xiao Wei, the master punishes the servant, and besides, the servant is at fault first, even if the government After learning about this, I won’t think that the owner is at fault. Even if someone is killed, it will only be fined in the end. "

"But, it is a human life after all! How can a mere piece of food be compared with a human life? Master, you said that justice is something people seek for themselves. Now that she has seen injustice, Xiao Wei can't just let it go!" Xia Wei His eyes were blazing, his fists were clenched, veins appeared on his arms, and his knuckles crackled.

Seeing Xia Wei's extremely angry look, Xie Xinyu shrank his neck and remembered the divination he had just calculated. The overbearing evil intention was something that no ordinary person could possess.

If you want to seek justice, you can't just talk about it, it means blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

Ye Jie didn't know what Xia Wei planned to do, but he understood that once Xia Wei took action, things would be difficult to resolve. There would most likely be tragic casualties, and the tragedy in Qingshi Town might happen again.

Ye Jie opened his mouth, and was about to persuade Xia Wei, but saw her pouting, her eyes full of moisture, looking at him with pleading eyes, full of expectation and grievance, as if she would not do it if she didn't agree. , had no choice but to change his mind: "Well, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. No matter what you want to do, I will support you."

"Master..."

After getting Ye Jie's approval, Xia Wei hugged him gently, her trembling body gradually calmed down, as if she wanted to convey all the joy in her heart to him.

Ye Jie's words gave her endless motivation. She knew that no matter what she did, her master would always be by her side. Even if it caused a big mistake, it didn't matter. The close connection between the two would never happen because of these things. Change.

At this time, Guazi coughed slightly, breaking the intimate atmosphere between the two of them: "Miss Xia Wei is a brave and brave girl. However, in this matter, I didn't take action. She has already avenged You Kui's revenge."

Xia Wei was stunned. After letting go of Ye Jie, she glanced at Youkui again and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Guazi added: "Youkui died with resentment at the end of a dry well. Fortunately, she avoided the ghost who came to collect her soul. The ghost didn't find her, so he walked around a few times and then left. However, she was filled with resentment in her heart. After seven days of fermentation, she turned into a fierce ghost and took revenge, killing the whole family. I heard that in order to catch her, even Wu Chang sent out several people to capture her and take her back to the underworld. "

This time, not only Xia Wei, but also Ye Jie was stunned.

"Unexpectedly, Miss Youkui still has such past events..." Ye Jie said with emotion.

Guazi looked respectful: "Aunt Meng heard about this. Thanks to her intercession, Youkui was exempted from punishment and became one of the chief maids."

Yulan gently stroked the string and said: "Don't mention the past, let's focus on the present. Although the wine town has received permission to open, the location selection has become a problem. Yunzhu and Bailuo are in the city. We were inspecting and wanted to select a location with a prosperous business, but unfortunately, the geomantic omen in the city has long been occupied by other shops, and there will be no results for a while. "

Hearing this, Xie Xinyu's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to speak: "So, you need to find a Master Kanyu to help."

Ye Jie glanced at her and raised his eyebrows: "So, where is Master Kanyu now?"

Xie Xinyu put her hands on her hips: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of me, this person is none other than me. With my attainments in the art of Kanyu, such matters as site selection are of course easy to do!"

Xia Wei was a little surprised, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes: "Sister Xinyu, do you even know the art of Kanyu?"

Xie Xinyu raised her chin and said proudly: "Of course, let alone Kanyu, I can even make alchemy. With my talent and magical powers, I am very good at all these miscellaneous arts. If you have any confusion, just come to me I'm right."

Ye Jie shook his head and smiled: "Can you really do it? In my opinion, it is better to let Nan Linghe walk around the city. Maybe he can find some geomantic treasures, and there is no need for Kanyu at all."

"Well..." Xie Xinyu was aroused by Ye Jie's words, with a look of refusal to admit defeat, "I admit that Nan Linghe's luck is better than mine, but relying too much on luck is not a good thing. In short, let's leave this matter to you. Come on me!"

After saying that, Xie Xinyu took the maids and ran back and forth through the streets of the city, looking for a suitable Feng Shui treasure land.

Ye Jie did not follow, but stayed in the Wei Mansion.

He looked around, slightly confused: "Speaking of which, where is Nan Linghe? I also want her to compete with Xie Xinyu to see who can choose a better address in the wine country. Why haven't I seen her? ?”

Xia Wei let go of her senses and searched, and soon got the answer: "Senior Sister He is in the backyard."

When they came to the backyard, they saw Nan Linghe squatting on the ground, huddled up, her legs tightly hugged to her chest. She lowered her head, her slightly messy hair covered her expression, and her figure was unbearable. Trembling.

Above her head, the silver baby dragon was circling around her, its body exuding dazzling light, and a silver bell-like laughter came from its mouth: "Quick, catch me with your dragon-capturing hand!"

"No, oh..." Nan Linghe looked depressed and shook his head.

Xia Wei was slightly confused, and stretched out her hand to hold it in the air. The young dragon hovering above Nan Linghe's head suddenly froze, as if it was frozen, and it was so difficult to even move.

Dragon Capturing Hand, this technique can exert greater power against real dragons, not to mention it was performed by Xia Wei herself. As soon as Meng Junyao started to move, she could no longer move.

Ye Jie hurried forward: "What's wrong? What happened here?"

Seeing Ye Jie coming, Nan Linghe could no longer suppress his inner emotions and couldn't help but throw himself into Ye Jie's arms. His trembling figure could not calm down for a long time.

Ye Jie patted her weak back and looked at Meng Junyao who was being held by Xia Wei: "Wait a minute, Yao'er, you know that Nan Linghe is afraid of monsters in the sky, are you bullying her?"

Without waiting for Meng Junyao to answer, Nan Linghe took the initiative to speak and defended: "That's not the case... No matter how hard I practiced, I couldn't master the dragon capture hand, so I had to ask Meng Junyao for help, and let her, as a real dragon, cooperate with me to practice capturing the dragon. Dragon Hand, it’s just that as soon as she flew into the sky, I was so scared that I couldn’t move, and I couldn’t continue to do my exercises, ugh..."

"Senior Sister He..." Xia Wei also had some concern in her eyes. After dismissing the dragon capturers, she took Nan Linghe aside and sat down.

"That's what I'm talking about! Why did you frame Haolong for being such a destined person?"

After resuming action, Meng Junyao also landed on Ye Jie's shoulder, scratching lightly with her front paws, showing an attitude of reluctance.

Ye Jie stroked the white dragon scales on her body and apologized: "I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have misunderstood you. It's just that the situation at that time made it easy for people to misunderstand."

After receiving Ye Jie's apology, Meng Junyao snorted softly and shook her dragon body slightly, forgiving him: "By the way, what Xia Wei just used was the Dragon Capturing Hand? The power is indeed extraordinary... Nan Linghe, please When I was young, I was still very curious about the effect of Dragon Capturing Hand, but I didn’t expect that there was a special technique for restraining divine dragons.”

Looking at Meng Junyao, Ye Jie couldn't help but show some curiosity in his eyes.

As a member of the Dragon Clan, Meng Junyao's reaction to the Dragon Captor is also very telling. With her, everyone can test the unique power of the Dragon Captor, and maybe it will come in handy in the future.

"How did you feel when you were controlled by the Dragon Captor?" Ye Jie asked.

"It feels very bad! The dragon essence in my body seems to have turned into stone. I can't use it at all. Even the mirage dragon illusion can't be stimulated... No, I have to try again!"

As he spoke, Meng Junyao showed an unconvinced expression, and with a flash of white light, her figure was divided into three. What appeared in front of Ye Jie's eyes were three identical young dragons with no apparent difference in appearance.

She flew into the sky and shouted towards Xia Wei in the distance: "Xia Wei, come and catch me again!"

Seeing another monster flying in the sky, Nan Linghe hurriedly covered her eyes. As long as she couldn't see the monster in the sky, she was no longer afraid. She hurriedly said: "Ugh... catch her quickly!"

Xia Wei raised her eyes and held her hand casually. The three young dragons' eyes suddenly widened, as if someone was strangling their necks. Two of the young dragons turned into smoke and disappeared, leaving only the leftmost one, motionless. in the sky.

When Xia Wei let go, Meng Junyao returned to Ye Jie's shoulder with a frustrated face: "It's not fun, I won't play anymore! If you are destined to play, you should play with me."

Ye Jie smiled: "I haven't learned how to capture the dragon yet, let's talk about it later."

When he came to Nan Linghe, he saw that she was still covering her eyes and did not dare to relax. Ye Jie joked: "The monster is gone, you can open your eyes."

Ye Jie's words came to his ears, and Nan Linghe dared to open his eyes, with a lingering look of fear on his face: "I'm scared to death, Brother Jie, ever since I flew on the flying sword, I've been afraid of the things in the sky. The monster is even more scared, what should I do now?”

Ye Jie smiled helplessly: "Even Meng Junyao, who I get to know day and night, is afraid of flying. What if one day you see a dragon that stretches across the sky? I'm afraid you won't be frightened directly."

Nan Linghe looked left and right, and saw that the sky was clear and there was no danger. Then he said: "If...if such a day comes, Brother Jie will cover my eyes with clouds as soon as possible!"

Ye Jie's mouth twitched: "If you cover your eyes and can't see the monster in the sky, aren't you afraid of it? What's the difference between this and hiding your ears and stealing the bell?"

Nan Linghe pouted and looked at the two of them with eyes full of trust: "Anyway, with Brother Jie and Miss Xia Wei here, I will be fine! No matter what kind of monster it is, nothing will happen to me." can't hurt me."

Hearing this, Ye Jie and Xia Wei looked at each other, their eyes intertwined, and they smiled at each other.
