CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 88: VIOLET QI STABILIZES THE SOUL

"Ahhhh!"

Shen Yuelin recalled her aunt’s smile. She was heartbroken, her soul burned into ashes by the Karmic Fire.

"Jiu!"

Yu Nianzhao shouted, and the shadow of Jiu Ying extended a snake head, ’Aowu’ and devoured the ashes.

[Aw aw, the soul judged by the Karmic Fire tastes like it’s been barbecued!]

[So crispy with every bite! Master, bring more next time.]

[Master, can we get some of the purple qi from this person?]

After Jiu Ying emerged, shortly after, it was attracted by the purple qi on Xie Yunzhe’s body and instinctively led Yu Nianzhao closer to Xie Yunzhe.

"Princess Consort Su?"

Xie Yunzhe lowered his eyes and could see Yu Nianzhao’s apricot face and peach cheeks, especially those eyes so clear he could see his reflection, inexplicably making his heart flutter, his voice turned a bit hoarse.

"Tsk, there’s ghost qi on your clothes."

Yu Nianzhao calmly reached out, grabbed a handful of purple qi from beside him, and casually tossed it for Jiu Ying to eat.

[Munch munch~ Delicious, really delicious!]

"Is that so? Thank you very much." Xie Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely believing he had been tainted with ghost qi, sincerely thanking her.

"You’re welcome!" Yu Nianzhao smiled slightly, genuinely feeling not the least bit courteous.

"Princess Consort Su, didn’t you apprentice under the mystic sect? You’re really skilled at exorcising ghosts. That... Shen Yuelin, is she really gone?" Prince An Nan swallowed hard, still shaken.

"Yes, her soul is gone, no need to panic."

"Thank you, thank you, this prince will have the steward prepare ten thousand... no no no, twenty thousand taels of silver as reward!"

After exorcising the ghost haunting his pillow, Prince An Nan felt relieved, thinking the twenty thousand taels of silver were well worth it.

"Well, thank you, Prince An Nan." Hearing about twenty thousand taels of silver, Yu Nianzhao’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, only delicious food and silver could bring her true joy.

"Aunt, what about my mother? Can she be restored to her original state?" Xie Jiarou was teary-eyed, already heartily convinced by Yu Nianzhao, but genuinely worried about Princess An Nan.

"Jiarou, your concern for your mother is deeply comforting." Princess An Nan smiled warmly, her overflowing motherly love made Xie Jiarou’s tears fall uncontrollably.

"Mother, don’t leave!"

"Mother will always be by your side!"

"Mother!" Xie Yunzhe also had teary eyes, his gaze unwilling to part.

"Waa waa waa, Lan’er, it’s this prince who wronged you." Prince An Nan’s sorrow came from within, also teary-eyed.

"Wait a minute, why are you all crying? Did I say the princess couldn’t be revived?" Yu Nianzhao glanced at them in speechlessness, feeling their sobs were too noisy.

"Uh, aunt, can you revive my mother?"

"Princess Consort Su, as long as you can save the princess, this prince is willing to pay more!"

"Prince... Yu Nianzhao, we plead with you!"

All four of them stared at Yu Nianzhao with anticipation and hope in their eyes.

"Don’t worry, her soul was originally extracted, not killed. Though filled with resentment and tainted with the death qi from Shen Yuelin’s corpse, becoming a wraith, her soul was protected by the purple qi. She can return to her original body."

Yu Nianzhao said, "But there’s a condition."

"What condition?"

"Just say it!"

"Mr Xie has the fate of a Purple Qi Dragon; he has a lot of purple qi on his body which can stabilize the princess’s soul, so, you need to willingly give some purple qi."

"Give! How do I give it to you?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll take it myself." Yu Nianzhao rubbed her hands together, eagerly reaching around him several times, catching a lot of purple qi.

She kept a few strands for herself and gave the rest to Jiu Ying to eat.

Just joking, it’s such a good opportunity, why not take advantage.

Anyway, this purple qi does no harm to Xie Yunzhe if some is taken.

Xie Yunzhe was still a bit confused by Yu Nianzhao’s actions, "Is it that simple?"

"Yes, that simple. What did you think I would do? Set up a ritual?" Yu Nianzhao gave him a quirky look, "I’m so skilled, do I need complicated actions?"

"Uh..." Xie Yunzhe was speechless, for he truly did not understand.

Yu Nianzhao placed the purple qi over Princess An Nan’s soul, then picked up a Soul Stabilizing Talisman and placed it on Princess An Nan’s forehead, stuffing her soul back into her body.

Princess An Nan’s body shook, trembling like she was having a seizure.

"Um..."

Under their concerned gazes, Princess An Nan murmured and slowly opened her eyes in confusion, "Jiarou, Yunzhe..."

She weakly called out. Being a wraith for so long, regaining control of her body felt like an ethereal cloud, so floating.

Moreover, her tongue was still a bit numb.

"Mother!" Xie Jiarou cried with joy, hugging her tightly.

"Princess!" Prince An Nan at such a moment wanted to join in, but Princess An Nan humorously pushed him away.

"Cough cough cough..." Prince An Nan felt awkwardly, shifted his gaze, looked at Yu Nianzhao and said, "Princess Consort Su, thank you for saving the princess. This prince will give you an additional five thousand taels of gold."

"Alright, thank you! Prince, you are indeed wealthy!" Yu Nianzhao’s smile grew even brighter.

Look at him, equally a prince, just overflowing with wealth.

Why is Xie Jiuxiao so poor then?

"Don’t worry about your tongue, it’s normal now! The Soul Stabilizing Talisman needs to be worn daily, after all, the princess’s soul hasn’t returned to her body for a long time. I’ll give you three Soul Stabilizing Talismans, every seven days, the symbols on the talisman will fade. If you use all three and still feel uncomfortable, you can send someone to Prince Su Mansion for more."

Yu Nianzhao handed the Soul Stabilizing Talisman to Princess An Nan, also advised, "Don’t stay in this house, Shen Yuelin’s remains were buried here for quite some time. Best to demolish it and build something else."

"Okay, okay." Princess An Nan listened attentively, hesitantly asking, "Should a completely new temple be constructed? Would it be better?"

"Although that’s a method, but... what are you going to worship? A Guanyin Statue or a Buddha Statue? Actually, these are meaningless!" Yu Nianzhao winked naturally, "I’m planning to build a temple on the outskirts recently, with an image of myself worshiped. Instead of worshiping in the prince’s mansion, Princess An Nan, why not add incense to my little temple, surely ensuring your safety."

She wanted to promote her own temple.

"Wha... what? Worship Princess Consort Su’s own image?" Princess An Nan was taken aback, genuinely the first time she’d heard this.

"Yes, why not? Worshiping me means you are under my protection." Yu Nianzhao patted her shoulder.

Princess An Nan felt her body lighten immediately, hurriedly and respectfully said, "I meant no offense, just surprised. The temple Princess Consort Su is building, I will definitely provide incense! Not just incense, I can also invest to jointly build the temple, add oil money, everything is doable!"
