Chapter 912 The Scholar Who Abandoned His Husband and Children 22
Upon hearing this, the token swayed happily up and down, and then said in a cheerful voice, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I will definitely cultivate diligently in your world."
The moment it was taken in, it felt an abundance of immortal spiritual energy. Although it didn't rely on this for cultivation, any energy was beneficial to it.
It was imprisoned in that instant, thinking that it had been brought into the outer heaven of the Heavenly Dao, which was why there was such a dense energy. It did not expect that this world was also divided into three realms. Then it must have been in the mortal realm before.
While the token was still there, filling in its own mental blanks, Xiao Yun simply waved his hand and threw it towards the Demon Realm before leaving the space.
She really just threw it casually, but she didn't expect that the token would be thrown directly to Xu Changning's secluded cultivation place and land on him.
Xu Changning had already cultivated to the final form of the Undying Bone, which was a demon god. Since he was destined to become a demon sooner or later, he simply stayed in seclusion in the demon realm.
His seclusion wasn't a complete retreat; he woke up the moment he was hit, and opened his eyes the next instant. Seeing that there was a plaque on his body, he reached out and picked it up.
Then a series of voices bombarded my mind: "Hello, sir, I am the one the Heavenly Dao just threw here. I'm so sorry I landed on you, but this also means we're destined to meet~ I am blah blah blah..."
After being bombarded with the babbling, Xu Changning's head, which had just woken up from seclusion, was still spinning. It was just too noisy.
But... Heaven's will? He looked around to make sure he was still in Xiao Yun's space and hadn't been thrown into another world before looking at it again. He raised an eyebrow. A demonic artifact, huh? It must have been given to him by Xiao Yun. He might as well keep it.
Upon seeing that the token hadn't been thrown away, it immediately pressed its advantage, saying, "The Heavenly Dao says I am the opportunity He has given you. Please, Your Excellency, make a pact with me, and I will certainly go through fire and water for you in the future..."
Xu Changning didn't think too much about it. It was just a magical artifact. So what if a contract was formed? It was a master-servant contract anyway, and even if it was broken later, it wouldn't affect him.
He extended his index finger and gently tapped the token. Instantly, a golden array rose up and enveloped them. A moment later, it vanished in a flash and then disappeared into Xu Changning's forehead and the token respectively, thus forming a contract.
The moment the contract was signed, Xu Changning had all the information about the token and realized he had been careless. He should have asked Xiao Yun first. Although there was no loss, it was still a bit of a headache, mainly because the thing was too noisy.
The token spirit wanted to jump for joy. It was such a clever little devil. Before, it only felt that it had benefited from the disaster, but now it felt that it had simply ascended to the sky in one step!
My God, thank you so much! I just casually threw myself into the body of a half-step demon god!
Their former masters were all demon kings, which is a world apart from demon gods.
Although it previously existed in the Immortal-Demon Realm, it wasn't a high-level plane; it was still within the realm of cultivation. Above the Demon King was the Demon Emperor, above the Demon Emperor was the Demon Sovereign, and above the Demon Sovereign was the Demon Lord! And above the Demon Lord was the Demon God! You can imagine how vast the difference was.
Now that I've landed right next to the Demon God, it's like ascending to heaven in one step.
Xiao Yun really just tossed it casually, not even noticing where he threw the sign. After throwing it, he immediately left the space and returned to his body, so he really didn't know about this situation.
Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't object. We're all family, and as long as the benefits don't go to outsiders, that's fine.
After returning to her body, she began to plan what to do next. Her daughter had become the third princess and was very likely to become the next empress.
Even if their own daughter couldn't be an emperor, she still had her own brother. Yao Yao was a founding emperor, so his experience was top-notch. Jing Yan could ask him for advice anytime she didn't know something.
He, on the other hand, could simply sit back and win, and would no longer need to serve as a minor official in a remote area; he could simply wait for his daughter to ascend the throne.
Then I can find an opportunity to claim a life-saving favor, or help her research something, and then have my daughter grant me a title, preferably one that can be inherited without fail, so that I won't have to worry about the next few generations.
With wonderful aspirations in mind, Xiao Yun had a good night's sleep, but unexpectedly, the next day he sensed the Heavenly Dao thousands of miles away through his divine sense, and his good mood immediately vanished.
Could that guy have squeezed out the original owner's son's soul? If so, her mission would have failed. No, she had to go back and check.
However, he couldn't openly go back. Firstly, it was a bit abnormal for him to have just sent a message back while "injured" and then travel thousands of miles back himself. Secondly, it had already started snowing, making the roads outside very difficult to travel, and the carriage companies should have stopped taking customers.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yun decided to use the power of the Heaven-Covering Mirror to send his soul back to his body, so that he could arrive instantly and respond in time.
Without hesitation, she instructed Jiang Zhi to stay home and refuse visitors for the day, then directly separated her soul from her body and teleported back to Xiao Family Village, a thousand miles away, according to the original owner's memories.
When she arrived at the original owner's house, she was still wondering what the Heavenly Dao had done to the original owner's son. When she saw the little boy reading a letter with the original owner's husband, she was surprised to find that the Heavenly Dao had not squeezed out the original owner's son's soul, but that it still existed in this body and was even protecting him with divine power.
Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief; at least the child was still alive. At the same time, she secretly plotted how to extract the Heavenly Dao.
Now is definitely not an option. If the Heavenly Dao leaves the body, the child will inevitably fall ill, and if things go wrong, he might even die young. So let's get him to the capital first.
She lingered there for a while, wanting to see what her husband would do. If he didn't do as she had written in her letter, she would have to think of another way.
The original owner's husband's surname was Xie, named Xie Junze. He was from Xiejiawan in the next town. He was also nineteen years old this year, the same age as the original owner. Although he was from a farming family, he was fair-skinned and had regular and gentle features. If his appearance were changed, he would look a bit like a Korean male star.
This appearance is already quite good in the eyes of most people, but for Xiao Yun, who is used to eating big fish and meat, it can only be considered barely passing.
Okay, I'll treat it as a change of pace and have some simple congee and side dishes.
Now that he was back, Xiao Yun decided not to leave empty-handed and took the opportunity to glance at the clan leader and several elders. These people were the ones who actively took over the original owner's property and imprisoned her husband and son in the previous life, which could be considered as helping Zheng Yujin seize the original owner's identity.
None of the families had any karmic debts to commit, so it seemed they were just petty scheming. In that case, it wouldn't be good to kill them directly; the only option was to stay away from them as planned.
Just then, an elderly couple walked into the yard, carrying a basket of grass. Were they going to feed the cattle?
Sure enough, the two men carried it to the livestock shed in the backyard before putting it down, and then began chopping the grass with a chaff cutter.
Both men had honest and kind faces, so it's likely they died in their previous lives. It's unlikely they were sold at such an old age, since no one would spend money to buy two old people to take care of in their old age.
Since that's the case, let's keep it. We're already familiar with it, and it'll be helpful when we go to Beijing with Xie Junze and his son.
"Father, Mother is injured. Should we go to the capital?"
Just as I was thinking about these things, I heard a child's voice, sounding very sweet and childlike.
Despite being only two years old, Xiao Shunan is very intelligent. He speaks fluently and has a clear mind. Of course, the Heavenly Dao is currently in control of this little body.
