Liu Yizhen felt very helpless, how did he end up with this girl?
But what she said was right, she was his employer, so she could do as she pleased. The right thing to do was to earn the money.
Looking at Wei Yi sitting on someone else's tomb, Liu Yizhen couldn't help but ask,
"Isn't this disrespectful to the deceased?”
“They’re already dead. What’s the big deal?” Wei Yi shrugged and said, “These mortals, they were pitiful when they were alive, is there anything to respect them for in death?”
“You shouldn’t…”
Liu Yizhen said, “The dead should be respected, and as mortals, we shouldn't disrespect them. We all come from ordinary backgrounds, aren’t you the same?”
“Me? I was born extraordinary,” Wei Yi shrugged and said, “When I was born, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the colorful clouds covered the sky! Even my mentor said, I might be a heavenly nymph descended to earth."
Liu Yizhen thought to himself, if you were a heavenly nymph, the cowherd would be scared away by you.
What kind of nymph are you? So self-centered, so arrogant…
“Moreover, I was born into a rich and noble family, I have no idea what the life of a mortal is like. Don't lump me in with you, I am naturally gifted, and not the same as you common people!” Wei Yi said arrogantly.
“If you are really a heavenly maiden, how did you only summon such a creature?”
Liu Yizhen looked at the small cat on Wei Yi's shoulder and couldn't help but ask.
“Meow!” As if hearing Liu Yizhen say it was a creature, the little cat puffed up its fur and roared at Liu Yizhen.
“Be careful with your words!” Wei Yi immediately scolded, “This is a sixth-grade spirit cat! Not an ordinary creature!”
“Sixth grade... That’s impressive!” Even Lin Tong, who was lying on Liu Yizhen's shoulder, couldn't help but exclaim.
“Why, how are the grades divided?” Liu Yizhen hurriedly asked.
“Practitioners of summoning techniques categorize their summoned spirit beasts into nine grades. One is the lowest, and nine is the highest. But beyond the sixth grade, they are considered legendary, and are very rare! So, this girl has a sixth-grade spirit cat... It's already quite remarkable. It seems... her talent for summoning is very high, which is why she can summon a sixth-grade spirit cat... However, this sixth-grade spirit cat is still in its infancy, and will be very powerful when it matures.”
“Even if you have great talent, does it mean you can look down on others?” Liu Yizhen still felt somewhat indignant.
“Alright... let's just focus on the task,” Lin Tong was secretly pleased.
That's it!
The more disdainful she is, the better!
This way you won't go out being fickle, hmpf!
Liu Yi's recent romantic luck is simply off the charts!
It's time for a girl to come out and show him who's boss!
"It's you, you're actually a disciple of a major sect, possessing the mysterious ice energy!"
Wei Yi sized up Liu Yi, saying, "Someone with such unique tastes... being able to enter such a prestigious sect and learn such profound techniques... sigh, sometimes fate can be quite unfair."
The Nine Profound Heart Sutra is indeed an advanced technique.
Liu Yi felt somewhat reassured.
"Fate is fair."
Liu Yi said stiffly, "When he's opening the door for arrogant people like you, he hasn't forgotten to open windows for those of us who have been wronged."
"You're stubborn."
Wei Yi sneered, "If I hadn't stopped Tuantuan just now, you'd be in big trouble!"
"If you didn't stop your spirit cat, I wouldn't necessarily be the one in trouble,"
Liu Yi thought to himself, if that spirit cat had returned earlier, he would have hit it with a wild fire strike.
His Great Sun Palms were definitely not to be underestimated!
Lin Tong had told him that spirit beasts grow in cultivation with their owners.
Though it's a rank six, this girl only has a second-tier cultivation.
His Great Sun Palms is also an advanced technique, not much inferior to her spirit cat!
"You're really stubborn! No fun at all!"
Wei Yi felt very uncomfortable. Normally, she was the center of attention among the martial siblings, they would almost worship the ground she walked on.
It had to be said that she quite enjoyed feeling like a little princess.
Why did she have to meet such a guy today?
Well, he definitely isn't a man.
"How do you know I'm stubborn, have you tried it?"
Liu Yi countered, unapologetically.
"You! Disgusting!"
"Where am I disgusting, show me."
"You you you..."
Wei Yi was so angry she couldn't speak.
"If you continue, I'll deduct your pay!"
"Tch, you just issued the task, once I complete it, the money is mine. If you deduct, how?"
Liu Yi was not at all threatened.
"You you you..."
"Me me me? What's wrong with me?"
"You're annoying!"
Wei Yi shouted.
"Thank you for your compliment, I'm very flattered."
"Ah ah ah! I think you're the evil spirit in this graveyard!"
"If I were a demon who preys on girls, I wouldn't have sought you out."
"Why?"
"Look at you, no chest, no butt, how do you look like a girl?"
"Ten steps milk one person, I'll fight you!"
"I can be called ten steps milk one person, if it's you, people would probably go hungry."
"Ah ah ah..."
Wei Yi was really going crazy.
Just as she was about to lose it, a powerful Yin aura suddenly shot up into the sky.
Both of them paled, hurriedly turned their heads, and looked at where the Yin aura was coming from.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
Feeling the danger, Liu Yi said to Wei Yi.
"I know... I don't need you to remind me!"
Although Wei Yi was a bit uneasy, she remained arrogant, glaring at Liu Yi fiercely, but still hiding behind him.
Liu Yi was crouching behind a tombstone, thankfully both of them were not fat, otherwise the tombstone couldn't really stop them.
In the distance, a tombstone suddenly began to loosen.
Then, wisps of black smoke flew out from the grave, hovering above the tombstone.
The sky became even darker, and the moon was blocked by the dark clouds.
"So much gloomy aura..."
Lin Tong couldn't help but say worriedly, "It seems like bad news... Liu Yi, you need to be careful..."
"Uh... I know..." Liu Yi nodded, continuing to observe the black smoke.
Soon, the black smoke gathered together, and a black figure slowly appeared.
It was a man in a black robe, gaunt in figure, with hands that looked like dried bones protruding from the sleeves.
And when the figure turned around slowly, both Liu Yi and Wei Yi gasped in shock.
Goodness...
What a terrifying face!
The face of the black shadow was thin and terrifying, covered with decayed flesh and white bones, emitting a faint green light from the eyes.
Liu Yi thought he was watching a horror movie!
The figure stepped on the tombstone, extending its withered hands towards the dark clouds in the sky.
A crack appeared in the dark clouds, revealing the moon.
This person was actually absorbing the essence from the moon directly.
Strands of white light flew down from the moon, being drawn into its nostrils.
Although Wei Yi considered herself to be exceptionally talented, she was still a girl.
She tightly clutched Liu Yi's arm from behind, trembling slightly.
Liu Yi was also nervous.
It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The guy opposite them...
The pressure he exerted was definitely not insignificant.
The spirit cat crouching on Wei Yi's shoulder quivered all over, as if under great threat.
"Four stars..."
After observing for a while, Lin Tong reached a dreadful conclusion.
"This guy is of a four-star level... You two are definitely not able to handle him..."
Liu Yi blinked and looked back at Wei Yi.
He made a gesture, pointing at the person absorbing the essence of the moon, then held up four fingers.
Wei Yi wasn't a fool, she immediately understood, and her little face turned somewhat pale.
This situation had already exceeded her expectations.
"I, we should escape..."
Wei Yi mouthed the words to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi nodded, but it wasn't time to leave yet. They would wait until that guy returned to the grave.
So the two of them hid behind the tombstone, waiting for the terrifying four-star evil ghost to return to the grave.
And just then, in this originally quiet and deserted cemetery, a humming voice suddenly came.
"Far, far away, it is my beloved land... Under the continuous green mountains, flowers are blooming... What kind of rhythm, is the most, the most swaying... What kind of singing voice is the most joyful... Hmm... good wine..."
Liu Yi and Wei Yi were startled, and quickly turned to look.
They saw a swaying drunkard, holding a bottle of wine, come staggering over.
"Dad... I, I have come to visit your grave... I, I was too busy with work during the day, drinking all sorts... I am late, please don't be angry, dad... I brought you some good wine... Let's have a drink, just the two of us..."
The drunkard burped as he spoke, squinting as he looked around for his dad's grave.
The evil spirit also noticed the drunkard and suddenly, the entire person, floated lightly and leaped around nimbly on the tombstone.
"This is our chance to escape!"
Wei Yi pulled at Liu Yi, preparing to leave.
"No..."
Liu Yi pushed away Wei Yi's hand and said, "I want to go save him."
"Are you crazy!"
Wei Yi looked at Liu Yi as if he were a monster, "That's a four-star evil ghost... Can you beat him?"
"Even if we can't win, we have to fight," said Liu Yi through gritted teeth.
"He's just a drunkard, not worth risking our lives for!" exclaimed someone.
"He may be a drunkard, but he's also a filial son. And please, Lady Wei Yi, do not underestimate the lives of ordinary people," replied Liu Yi, standing up from behind the tombstone and heading towards the direction of the evil spirit.
"Ugh! I'm so unlucky today! How did I end up with such an idiot, such a fool!" muttered Wei Yi, fuming as she followed.
Lying on Liu Yi's shoulder, Lin Tong watched Wei Yi coming after them and a smile played on her lips.
Humph, do you only realize now that Liu Yi is an idiot? I, Miss, have known for a very long time!
