Chef Li’s face changed drastically when he saw Han Yu’s body become more and more transparent. He couldn’t believe that this woman would be so ruthless toward a child.
“What are you looking at? What are you staring at? My Longhu Mountain is responsible for capturing ghosts and eliminating demons. You supernatural creatures don’t deserve to remain in this world.” Yang Zhaoning looked down at them with a very proud and cold expression.
Chef Li was filled with hatred, but he was afraid that Yang Zhaoning would whip Xiao Yu again. If she did, this child’s soul really might scatter. Chef Li immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded, “Celestial Master, I beg you. This child is young. Celestial Master, whip me, this old ghost. My skin is thick, so you can whip me however you want.”
Yang Zhaoning sneered. “So, you’re starting to feel fear now. Tell me about that treasure, or I’ll scatter this brat’s soul immediately!”
Chef Li’s face changed drastically. He had a vague guess what this Yang woman in front of him wanted: it was none other than the jade pendant which Master Chi had given to him. He hadn’t given it to this woman before, partly because he was afraid these two ruthless people would kill them after getting what they wanted, and partly because he was afraid of exposing Master Chi. However, looking at Xiao Yu, who was coughing up blood and becoming more and more transparent, Chef Li was afraid. Whether it was the Ninth Prince or Xiao Yu, Chef Li had looked after these two children for hundreds of years and had long treated them as his own grandchildren.
Chef Li could only spit out the jade token immediately and beg, “Celestial Master Yang, this… this is our treasure. Please have mercy!”
Yang Zhaoning glanced in disgust at the jade token which Chef Li had regurgitated, but when she thought about how this thing was a treasure, her eyes lit up in delight. She immediately picked up the jade token. She circulated her spiritual energy and probed the token, which hummed. Boundless yin energy almost directly swallowed her spiritual energy.
Yang Zhaoning was alarmed and her face turned pale. What majestic yin energy!
No wonder the bodies of these three ghosts were so solid. Although this yin energy couldn’t compare with spiritual energy, it was still a good thing. Yang Zhaoning and her master originally cultivated the Celestial Masters’ Heart Technique, which was both good and evil.
Yang Zhaoning was naturally overjoyed to obtain so much yin energy.
Chef Li saw the woman’s happy face and thought that she would give them a reprieve of a few days because of this treasure. Who would have thought that greed would flash in the woman’s eyes? Chef Li’s right eyelid twitched. He saw her gaze sweep over Xiao Yu. “Anything else?”
Chef Li’s face changed and he hurriedly said, “Celestial Master, there’s nothing, there’s really nothing else. Please have mercy. This child is too young!”
Yang Zhaoning sneered in contempt. “So what if he’s too young? He’s just a supernatural creature. I’ll tear open his stomach for a look myself!”
Chef Li was so shocked that his whole body turned cold. He looked in disbelief at the greedy woman in front of him, and his face changed drastically.
Only then did he understand how lucky they had been to run into that Master Chi. If they had fallen into the hands of such a ruthless woman back then, they probably would have died. But their luck wasn’t good. They had actually run into such a ruthless Celestial Master, and this woman actually wanted to tear open Xiao Yu’s stomach. Thinking of how he had accidentally lured such a ruthless woman back when he was buying groceries, Chef Li wished he could kill himself.
Afraid that this woman was serious, Chef Li kowtowed and begged, “Celestial Master, I beg you. This treasure is so precious, how can there be so many of it? If there were so many, would they still be treasure?”
Chef Li didn’t want to implicate Master Chi, so after pausing for a moment, he hurriedly said, “I obtained this by accident. Celestial Master, how would I dare lie to you at this point?”
