I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 911 Zi Yi

Chapter 911: Chapter 911 Zi Yi

You softly muttered a phrase, then cleared your throat and slowly moved to lean against the railing, letting the bright moonlight bathe over you.

"Red hand, yellow vinegar, spring color fills the palace wall willow. The evil eastern wind, fleeting happiness, a cup of sadness, several years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Spring is still the same, person thin, tears stained red silk. Peach blossom falls, Xianchi Pavilion, Mountain Alliance still exists, but the brocade book cannot convey. Mo, Mo, Mo!"

You deliberately slowed down your speech, finding many in the audience furiously writing down every word you said without missing a beat.

As the guest of honor, Li Shimin’s eyes shone intensely, making you want to shamefully plunge into the lake, alas, alas, but you actually didn’t want to stand out like this.

"All of this wasn’t my intention."

You softly sighed.

"How about it, Uncle Li? Has your nephew passed this round?" Li Shimin didn’t respond, but continued to stare intently at you as if he wanted to devour you, "Uncle Li, why do you look at your nephew like this? Did my answer not satisfy you?"

Li Shimin’s non-committal expression was quite frustrating, but then Cheng Zhijie, this old goblin, nearly knocked you down with his next words: "Hehe, young Luo, now you’re done for."

Before you could question Cheng Zhijie, Li Shimin was already beaming with a smile. He waved his hand grandly and declared, "Go, such a beautiful evening should indeed be one of deep emotions. We shouldn’t embellish your moment."

"Thank you, Uncle."

You and Luo Xin, along with Zi Yi, left the Moon-viewing Pavilion in a boat. By the riverside, a carriage was already waiting, and a pretty young girl, about thirteen or fourteen, saw Zi Yi and couldn’t help but tear up: "Miss, congratulations, you’ve finally got your wish."

"Cui’er..." The two women embraced, as beautiful as the scenery under the moon, truly a sight to behold.

"Ahem, Miss Cui’er, how long have you been waiting here?" Luo Xin asked.

"For over half an hour."

"So, shortly after we went up to the Moon-viewing Pavilion, you were already here waiting?"

"Mhm, a young master surnamed Cheng told me, he asked me to pack Miss’s clothes and jewelry, saying that tonight Miss would return to Luo Mansion with Master Luo."

"This Cheng is quite impressive, to have the ability to foresee," you said, frowning slightly.

"It’s not that they are impressive, but rather that His Majesty had long planned for Miss Zi Yi to leave with you, hehe, I’m afraid there will be another corpse in the Eastern Palace tonight." Seeing your puzzled look, Luo Xin spoke up to stop you from speaking further, "You don’t need to know too much about these matters. Better hurry and take Miss Zi Yi back to Luo Mansion, that’s the only safe place now, the Crown Prince is getting bolder."

Having Zi Yi and Cui’er board the carriage, you and Luo Cheng followed behind. The night was exceptionally peaceful.

"What’s wrong? You seem preoccupied, now is the time to be happy with a beauty in your arms."

"Nothing much, just a personal issue, feeling a bit useless."

"Brother, this is not your fault, besides, haven’t you found a powerful Immortal Master? You must focus on cultivation, with your talent, it won’t be long before you’re once again the Sky Cloud Crane!" Luo Xin had learned some things about your master from Luo Cheng, and today he also observed you performing the marvelous Tai Chi Quan, naturally grouping your master among those rare and peculiar Immortals.

You merely smiled and shook your head, saying, "A tree that stands out in the forest is easily destroyed by the wind, I made such a basic mistake in the past and thus suffered a great calamity, I naturally will not repeat the same mistake."

"You’re quite the wise one, younger brother. Hearing this, I feel much relieved," said his elder brother.

The two brothers chatted leisurely behind the carriage, while the two ladies inside were equally engaged. Cui’er, full of curiosity, asked about the night’s events. She clapped joyously at the exciting parts and felt genuine happiness for her mistress. Although she slightly disdained your appearance, all that mattered was the mistress’s happiness, as, being a maid, she had no choice in the matter.

"Cui’er, you’re my sister in all but blood. Today, I have found someone to rely on, and it’s time you sought your own happiness."

"Mistress, are you trying to send me away?"

"Silly girl, am I chasing you away? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to find true love. I don’t want you to waste your youth by my side."

"Mistress, I don’t want to leave. I want to stay by your side! You know better than I what the outside world is like. I know my own fate too. I don’t have your beauty or talent, and I am content to remain a lowly maid by your side, serving you forever."

"Oh, why must you be so stubborn?"

"Mistress, please don’t send me away. Can you do that for me?"

"Alright, alright. But if you find someone you love, you must tell me."

"Yes, I will."

Inside and outside the carriage, brothers and sisters shared their thoughts. Different topics, yet all reflecting their deep bonds. Engrossed in conversation, they unknowingly arrived at Luo Mansion, where the doors had been lit and the Meng Family, led by the mother, were waiting to greet them.

"Mother, why have you come out?" you and Luo Xin hurried forward.

"I came to see my future daughter-in-law. You two didn’t cause any trouble tonight, did you? I heard even His Majesty was at the Moon-viewing Pavilion, and the old man from the Cheng Family was there too?"

"Yes, mother. Your information is very accurate. We only found out after we arrived."

"As long as you didn’t cause trouble. Oh, is this Zi Yi?"

Zi Yi, supported by Cui’er, approached and respectfully greeted Mrs. Meng: "Humble girl Zi Yi greets you, madam."

"Please, stand up. Ah, very good. My son Yun really has an eye for people."

Mrs. Meng warmly welcomed Zi Yi inside, where they engaged in amiable and intellectual conversation, sidelining the Luo brothers.

However, Zi Yi did not end up staying in your courtyard but was lodged in a guesthouse, attended to by carefully selected servants.

Though Zi Yi was beautiful, you had no further thoughts about her. Besides, to you, she was merely a character in a virtual setting, irrelevant to you once your mission ended.

Now, all you could think about was how to enhance your own strength.

On this quiet night, even the guard servant nodded off against the wall, but you sat alone in the courtyard, not entering the house. You sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, chest rising and falling slightly, practicing steady breathing. Normally, beginners in cultivation made such movements, but weren’t you unable to cultivate the Original True Qi anymore?
