Chapter 199 So, it was a little afraid of him...
Jiuli swiftly retreated back into her original body, crying out.
"Waaaaah, don't kill me! I was wrong! I don't want to die! Waaaaaah..."
The nascent soul, now back inside the ancient jade, twitched the corner of its mouth. Was it really necessary? He had only scared it a little.
Jing Shu looked at Han Luo innocently. He had only scared it a little and hadn't done anything else.
Han Luo naturally sided with Jing Shu, saying, "He won't kill you, but you have to obey him."
"Really... you won't kill me?" Jiu Li asked weakly.
"I won't kill you," Jing Shu said helplessly.
After receiving the assurance, Jiu Li slowly came out, but she no longer had the arrogance she had before.
"I can indeed break illusions, but only simple ones. If the illusion is strong, I can only do so after I've recognized it as my master," Jiu Li explained softly, sitting on the lamp with her head down.
"Then you should acknowledge him as your master for now. Don't worry, he's rich and won't mistreat you," Gu Meng comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Li shook her head vigorously, "No, no! I don't want to acknowledge him as my master. There's a particularly ugly spot on his soul! I don't want him!"
Han Luo understood. The Nine-Turn Glazed Lamp was a divine artifact that leaned towards the spiritual realm, so it was not surprising that it could see the strange things about Bei Yan'an's soul.
"Then who do you want to acknowledge as your master?" Bei Yan'an didn't react much to being rejected and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Li looked up and glanced around, then pointed with her delicate hand, "I want her!"
Gu Meng, who was pointed at, was a little confused. "Me? Are you sure?"
Of everyone present, her cultivation level was clearly the lowest.
Jiu Li nodded. "That's right, it's you!"
Jiu Li flew to Gu Meng's side. "Although your cultivation is a bit lacking, you're still quite young, so it's not a big problem. Besides, your soul is so pure! You're barely worthy of me!"
Actually, the man in the ice-blue clothes had a purer and more beautiful soul!
However, it saw the aura of the Source of Purity in his soul.
So, it was a little afraid of him...
Gu Meng looked at Bei Yan'an, after all, it was he who had taken the picture.
Bei Yan'an saw through Gu Meng's thoughts. "Since it has chosen you, it is yours. There's no point in me forcing it."
"Exactly, it's no use him begging me!"
Seeing that Jing Shu wouldn't kill it, Jiu Li grew bolder and summoned its true form over.
Gu Meng used her spiritual power to cut her finger and placed it on the Nine-Turn Glazed Lamp.
As the cold air settled, the spiritual power generated by the artifact recognizing its master did not leak out in the slightest; it remained firmly locked within the room until the contract was completed.
As Gu Meng felt a glass lamp appear in her consciousness, a warm current flowed through every part of her body.
Ah, that feels so good...
"I can nourish your soul! With me around, your soul will become stronger and stronger~" Jiu Li said proudly, hands on her hips.
Gu Meng reached out and caught Jiu Li, who was still floating, and said with a grin, "Hello, my name is Gu Meng, you can call me Xiao Meng or Meng'er. From today onwards, we are partners!"
Jiu Li plopped down in Gu Meng's hand, and said somewhat awkwardly, "My name is Jiu Li, you can call me Xiao Jiu, or Xiao Li, it's fine either way..."
Jiu Li turned her head away. She wouldn't tell her that she was very happy when Gu Meng didn't force her to call her master and treated her as an equal partner!
"Then I'll call you Xiao Jiu!"
Through the contract, Gu Meng has completely understood Jiu Li's personality.
She's not bad, just a little arrogant, but still very cute!
Jiu Li nodded reservedly and stood up again.
"You and Xiaomeng are father and daughter, right? You look so alike... How about this, for Xiaomeng's sake, I'll help you remove that filth from your soul."
Jiu Li flew to Bei Yan'an's side, resting her chin on her hand as she carefully examined him. "If I'm not mistaken, your memories are probably incomplete because of this, right?"
"Can you help me regain my memories?" Bei Yan'an asked with some surprise.
He couldn't help but be curious about what had happened during those three years, and he also wanted to know what kind of person Meng'er's mother was...
Jiu Li turned to look at Gu Meng, and seeing Gu Meng looking at her expectantly, Jiu Li raised her hand and touched Bei Yan'an's brow. A faint light merged into Bei Yan'an's brow.
Don't resist!
Just as Bei Yan'an was about to sense something, he immediately stopped thinking about it. The next moment, Bei Yan'an collapsed. Fortunately, Shi Chuan, who was standing nearby, caught him in time, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Bei Yuze quickly stepped forward to support Bei Yan'an's other arm, and together with Shi Chuan, led him to a chair to sit down.
Why did Father faint?
"Xiao Meng's cultivation is still shallow. Even though my abilities are very powerful, I cannot fully utilize them."
Jiu Li waved her hand, "However, it's more than enough to wipe that filth off him. His cultivation level is quite high, so he might recover his memories a little slowly, but he'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Xiao Jiu, are you saying he'll regain his memories when he wakes up?" Gu Meng asked again uncertainly.
"uh-huh."
Jiu Li yawned widely and flew back onto Gu Meng's shoulder. "I just completed the contract and helped him regain his memories. Xiao Meng, I'm tired..."
Gu Meng subconsciously helped Jiu Li up, "Then you should go and rest. We can talk about the illusion tomorrow."
Jiu Li nodded, then transformed into a speck of light and returned to her ancient dream sea of consciousness to rest.
Gu Meng glanced at the unconscious Bei Yan'an, then at the bewildered Bei Yuze, and finally turned her pleading gaze to Han Luo.
"Master......"
Han Luo shook her head helplessly, "Take them all back."
After saying that, Han Luo turned and walked out. There were no more items worth looking at in the auction.
Shi Chuan carried Bei Yan'an on his back and followed him out.
Jing Shu lagged behind by two steps and glanced at Bei Yuze a couple more times.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Shu, what's wrong?" Bei Yuze noticed the gaze and asked gently.
"You're overdoing it."
After leaving those words out of confusion, Jing Shu quickened his pace and walked toward Han Luo's side.
Bei Yuze was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.
Of course he knew. This was Jin Yi Trading Company. How could he not know how to take care of his father?
My little sister is so smart, she must have figured out he was faking it. But she's very soft-hearted and won't just abandon them like that.
Bei Yuze looked at Bei Yan'an on Shi Chuan's back and sighed helplessly.
Father, this is all I can do to help you. The rest is up to you...
