Han Jiuchen buried his face in my shoulder and said dullly: "At this time, do you have to be so annoying?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't understand whether Han Jiuchen's attitude really wanted to be gentle with me or was just a way to avoid problems.
I gritted my teeth, pushed him away and said, "Yes, I must."
The Jade Tablet, the Su Family, Xuanmen, the Jade Raider, and why Tang Xuanyi chose me... There were too many puzzles that trapped me. I felt like a fool and didn't know anything.
"Han Jiuchen, do you still remember the contract between us?" I mentioned the contract I forced him to sign. "I said, you must tell me honestly what I want to know."
"..." Han Jiuchen looked at me and said nothing.
"Now, I want to know, what is the jade token that flew into my body? Why did Tang Xuanyi choose me? What are the secrets of the Su family? What is raising a jade person?"
"There are some things that you haven't yet..."
"This is not the reason for your breach of contract." I interrupted him, "I hope you can tell me and guide me how to do it, instead of me being confused like a fool regardless of what you ask me to do."
Han Jiuchen frowned, with a tangled expression on his face, as if he was considering whether to have a showdown with me.
"Han Jiuchen, tell me everything. When you need me to do something, it will be easier for me to understand your intentions." I added a handful of firewood, "otherwise I may make a mess out of ignorance."
Hearing this, Han Jiuchen smiled.
"You've already provoked me so much, how dare I hide it anymore?"
"All ears."
Han Jiuchen was silent for a while, as if he was trying to organize his words.
I didn't urge him, so I rested my head on his shoulder and pressed my forehead against the side of his neck, but I couldn't feel the beating under the skin.
After about five or six minutes, Han Jiuchen finally spoke.
"Actually, the questions you asked all stem from one thing..."
According to ancient Taoist books, Gonggong's anger hit Buzhou Mountain, causing the Tianzhu to collapse and destroying all life.
After death, the living beings become ghosts, and the ghosts are resentful and gather in the Nine Netherlands.
Nuwa felt pity for the world. After mending the sky, she left three mending stones and threw them into Jiuyou.
The three Sky-Mending Stones turned into the Book of Life and Death, the Soul Purifying Jade and the Judge's Pen, giving birth to the Three Divisions of Netherworld.
Si Ming holds the book of life and death, which determines the past and present lives; Si Hun holds the Soul Purifying Jade to purify the souls of the dead;
The three divisions established the order of the underworld and brought the ghosts without resentment into reincarnation.
However, it is difficult to completely eliminate the resentment in the Nine Netherworld, and the remaining resentful spirits return to the Netherworld, infecting Si Hun, causing his mind to go crazy, and triggering a war in the Netherworld.
Although the war ended in a narrow victory for Netherworld, Sihun died and the Pure Soul Jade was torn into pieces, and some of the fragments even fell into the well of reincarnation and were missing.
Since then, ghosts in the underworld have been unable to purify their souls after arresting them, which has led to resentment in both the human world and the underworld. The resentment turned into spirits, created a ghost realm, and caused chaos everywhere.
The monks in the human world were led by the three major families of Han, Su, and Chu to create Xuanmen, and they all took it as their duty to kill the evil spirits.
"...In order to find the Pure Soul Jade, Netherworld cooperates with Xuanmen. In every generation of Xuanmen, there will be a jade-raiser who carries fragments of the Pure Soul Jade."
I was dumbfounded. I never expected that Xuanmen would play such a big game of chess.
"Then...what do you need to do to raise a beautiful woman?" I asked.
"Since birth, a person who raises jade will automatically play the role of purifying the soul, sealing the world's resentment in his soul," Han Jiuchen replied, "Over time, resentment invades the body, and will become the meat and potatoes in the eyes of resentful spirits, or it will last a lifetime.
They all fight against the resentful spirits and absorb their resentment; or they are unable to control themselves and become resentful spirits."
This is too tragic...
I recalled Su Mingle's state when I saw him. His face was pale, as if he had been seriously injured.
He looks like that because he is fighting a resentful spirit!
But these are not what I care about most.
What I care about most is——
"But what do these things you said have to do with me?"
I stared at Han Jiuchen closely, eager to know the answer.
Han Jiuchen lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
"Because the real beauty cultivator of Xuanmen's generation is not Su Mingle, but you."
When I heard this, my eyes suddenly widened, and I jumped up from Han Jiuchen's body as if he was on fire, feeling horrified in my heart.
"You, what did you say...? Me? A beauty keeper?" I pointed at myself and asked loudly, "No...how did I become a beauty keeper?!"
As soon as I finished speaking, my nose felt itchy.
"Sneeze!" I couldn't help but sneeze.
"I'll explain this to you later," Han Jiuchen pushed me to the bed, "Hurry up and change your clothes, and I'll tell the kitchen to make some ginger soup for you."
After saying that, he stood up and left at the same speed as if a ghost was chasing him.
I have never seen Han Jiuchen in such a panic. How much does he not want to talk to me about raising a beauty?
The more he behaves like this, the more curious I become!
I made up my mind to ask him clearly when he comes back!
I shivered and shivered a few times, and I randomly took off the clothes that were still wet on my body, threw them aside, and took out a clean set to put on.
I was blowing my hair while thinking about what Han Jiuchen said earlier.
The door to the room was pushed open.
I was overjoyed, thinking it was Han Jiuchen who was back, but unexpectedly I saw Su Yajun's face in the mirror.
The little bitch looked at me with disgust, raised her chin arrogantly, and asked in a bad tone: "What is the relationship between you and Han Jiuchen?"
She came as soon as Han Jiuchen left. She must have been outside a long time ago, waiting for Han Jiuchen to leave before coming to trouble me.
I thought to myself, you came to ask me questions, and you acted like I borrowed millions from you and haven’t paid them back, so that’s why I’m not paying attention to you!
I decided to ignore her. The hair dryer was so loud that it was normal for me not to hear it.
Su Yajun seemed to be irritated by my attitude. She stepped forward and pulled out the plug of my hair dryer.
"Su Qingzheng, stop pretending to be deaf! Answer me!"
I never turned back to face her, I just watched her angry look in the mirror.
Tsk tsk, so ugly!
However, her behavior at this moment reminded me that Su Xiao had told me before that Han Jiuchen was not very close to people, and no matter how many people in the Spiritual Supervision Bureau wanted to study under him, he didn't want them.
I guess Su Yajun also knew this, so she was so angry when she saw Han Jiuchen's attitude towards me was different from ordinary people.
Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved a little.
I said casually: "It doesn't matter, we're just master and disciple."
"You lied!" Su Yajun retorted to me excitedly, "He said that he was ashamed of Taoism and would never accept a disciple!"
I frowned, thinking about the past that Han Jiuchen mentioned in the Wang family ancestral hall, and felt a pain in my heart.
Then I thought about what Shai said to Xuanmen. He had never told me, but this woman knew it, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Naturally, Su Yajun won't let Su Yajun see the little worry in my heart.
I smiled and said, "Oh, I really can't deceive you."
Upon hearing this, she immediately showed an expression of "Of course", as if she knew Han Jiuchen very well.
"It seems I can only tell you honestly," I pretended to be mysterious, "Actually, I am his girlfriend."
"..." Su Yajun was stunned for two seconds, and then cursed angrily, "Impossible! How could Han Jiuchen like you, a waste with no spiritual power! It must be you who shamelessly seduced him!"
"Hey, you, why are you scolding people!" I pretended to be innocent, blinking my eyes and said, "Didn't you see me when we were in the forbidden area? I didn't say anything, he was just protecting me!"
As soon as I mentioned the forbidden area, Su Yajun's anger boiled up.
"Su Qingzheng, I advise you not to offend me. This is the Su family. I have been practicing in this mountain since I was a child. If I want to kill you, it will be easy!"
First there was Su Mingle, and then there was Su Yajun. Are all the people in the Su family so good at it?
I suddenly felt funny, "What I told is the truth. If you don't believe me, ask your Brother Jiuchen."
After saying that, I took the plug of the hair dryer from her hand, plugged it into the socket, and continued to blow dry my hair.
Su Yajun became angry with embarrassment, shouted angrily, drew out her whip, and was about to swing it at me.
I saw her actions in the mirror, threw away the hair dryer and jumped away, shouting: "Hey, hey, why are you crazy!"
When Su Yajun's whip came down, the mirror on the dressing table cracked.
I looked at the pile of glass shards and thought that if I hadn't avoided it... I would have been torn apart!
It hurts just thinking about it! This woman is so cruel!
"Su Yajun, don't go crazy! I am also a member of the Su family. If you hurt me, let's see how you explain to Su Liangrui!"
"Explain? Haha!" Su Yajun sneered, "Fourth uncle has loved me since I was a child. Don't say I hurt you, even if I cripple you, no one can do anything to me!"
Seeing Su Yajun's fearless appearance, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
Before I could think of a countermeasure, Su Yajun's second whip came next.
I screamed and wanted to get out of the way quickly, but the room was too small and I couldn't jump out of the way at all.
Seeing that the whip was about to come down, I had no way to hide, so I had to raise my hand to stop it.
Fortunately, the Kong Cui on her wrist had formed a protective barrier, which not only blocked the whip, but also caused Su Yajun to take a few steps back.
"What?" Su Yajun asked angrily.
I was afraid that she would hit me again, so I just ran out of the house.
Thank God, as soon as I stepped out, I saw Han Jiuchen carrying a thermal bucket and walking towards my direction.
My eyes suddenly lit up, and I glanced at the dominatrix-like Su Yajun behind me. I deliberately opened my arms and rushed towards Han Jiuchen, while shouting at the top of my voice——
"Han Jiuchen! Husband! Save me!"
Although Han Jiuchen didn't know why, he still caught me with one hand and protected me in his arms.
In fact, I felt uncomfortable and my face felt hot with embarrassment.
After all, I wouldn't call him that normally, but today I just wanted to make Su Yajun angry.
Before I could recover, I felt a tingling sensation in my ears, and then I heard Han Jiuchen's voice, "What are you talking about!"
