Chapter 1110 - 288: Leave the Rest to the Curse, Written Consent Form (8k)
Yu Ziqing quietly waited, this time for more than a month.
Yu Ziqing sat atop a mountain, gazing towards the direction of Jiawu City.
Bored with nothing to do, he continued researching the golden book.
The ritual is magical, but the prerequisites are indeed many; he temporarily couldn't understand why a ritual would be like this.
He could only supplement his basic knowledge first, then find the most suitable entry point for the Almsgiving Ceremony he envisioned.
While furrowing his brows, going over lessons, in the distance, a woman wearing a maple-leaf red robe with circular buns on either side of her head, rode a panting Iron-eating Beast, slowly stepping forward.
Her resemblance to Ruan Renwang was apparent, but between the brows, she didn't just have the physical form left, even with closed eyes she carried an "I'm unbeatable" aura.
Her current demeanor was rather charming and cute.
Hmm, Yu Ziqing's perception was already extremely acute; upon sensing this elder lady could likely crush him with one hand given the absolute power difference.
She seemed to possess all advantages, at least this is what Yu Ziqing thought in front of a potentially highly perceptive zombie.
It's ridiculous; just being affected leaves an imprint this strong.
She should now be at the Tenth Tier, right?
Upon reflection, indeed, in this era, it's extremely difficult to advance.
Until the Dingmao Era, the path was completely blocked, no talent could change that.
Inside this sealing, it was roughly the Late Bingyin, not far from Dingmao Era.
Chat with her later, ask her how exactly she broke through to the Tenth Tier.
In this age, Ruan Renwang named Li Qiu did not commit beyond laziness due to eating, according to records.
There's nothing documented, nor on the stele personally recorded by Ruan Renwang.
Only some parts Ruan Renwang didn't allow him to see, it's uncertain what those are.
Back then Yu Ziqing guessed, surely it wasn't something like who's Grotto Heaven they dug up or who's Mausoleum they uncovered, which one could boast about on a stele.
It's absolutely mortifying events.
And this seal with the malicious curse is highly suspicious.
Yu Ziqing speculated if Ruan Renwang fell for a trap here back then?
As this thought crossed his mind, Yu Ziqing immediately halted, invoking the power from Dayan Preface to forcefully pull his thoughts into the golden book he was reading, allowing the complex information overwhelming him to occupy all his thoughts.
His thoughts changed quickly, Li Qiu riding the panting Iron-eating Beast, tilted her head slightly and gazed at Yu Ziqing.
"Do you know me?"
"The renowned... Senior Li Qiu, I've seen you, Senior." Yu Ziqing honestly greeted.
Li Qiu sniffed slightly, stared at Yu Ziqing, pupils subtly showed change, she repeated the previous question.
"Do you know me?"
"..."
Yu Ziqing paused, pondered a bit, he felt it better to not blindly trust the records.
In fact, best not to fully believe the stele recorded by her, who writes their real thoughts in the diary anyway?
Contrarily, Xia Tian's attitude seemed to explain matters better.
Thus, Yu Ziqing first betrayed Xia Tian.
"Xia Tian from Xi Family told me, I've visited Xi Family."
"Xi Family is... Huh?" Li Qiu was slightly taken aback, then laughed exuberantly, "They actually did use Xi Family? Ha... haha..."
Yu Ziqing blinked, almost failing to keep his expression.
Indeed! This guise Xi Family really relates to you!
What a wicked sense of humor, liking to feast, even the guise used outwardly by the family bears "Xi" in the surname.
Those Big Zombies, and Xia Yixing, surely didn't know this origin.
Judging by Xia Tian's timidness like a dog fearing Ruan Renwang, he probably wouldn't dare tell the juniors even if he knew.
Li Qiu landed on the ground, patted the head of the wittily tired Iron-eating Beast.
"You may go, don't randomly eat things next time, see, you only damaged clothes without even breaking my skin.
Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise if you broke my skin, you're doomed.
I wouldn't discard my current identity for you."
The clearly fierce yet cowardly Iron-eating Beast attempting to appear affectionately clumsy kept nodding, its eyes jittering.
It was instantly determined to go vegetarian, not eating even pheasants soon!
Eating meat is too risky, requiring hunting, who knows if someday it encounters someone seeming delicious but in actuality, completely unapproachable.
Switching to vegetarianism is definitely safer.
Among those flowers, grasses, and trees, beings it couldn't afford to provoke were visible from afar; it wouldn't dare approach their territory.
The Iron-eating Beast didn't dare joyously flee, still pretending fatigue, turning back every few steps.
Seeing this terrifying woman utterly ignoring it, busy calling for another new mount, the Iron-eating Beast raced off swiftly, disappearing into the horizon.
Yu Ziqing didn't pay attention to that fierce Iron-eating Beast either, surely not the True Body being sealed, no use in minding.
Li Qiu scanned Yu Ziqing with interest.
"I just felt it, your aura is odd, extremely odd.
Moreover, I can sense you possess a trait of reversed Five Elements.
Along with some very peculiar power on you.
Unexpectedly, you've been there, did you apprentice?"
