Chapter 148: Chapter 146 All the Snacks Are for You (First Update)

Then, the little paper figure lightly floated down from Yun Qi’s palm, motionless, its face seemingly still holding an expression of proud self-satisfaction.

"Qi, what’s wrong with this paper figure? Is it possessed?" Yun Kuang pinched the paper figure, but it was just a paper figure, without any reaction.

"It’s nothing, its lifespan has expired, it’s useless now." Yun Qi put away the little paper figure and stuffed it into the pocket behind the teddy bear.

The lifespan of a paper figure can expire?

Yun Kuang and the Lord exchanged shocked glances.

Seeing their confusion, Yun Qi kindly explained, "These small paper figures are driven by Spiritual Power. Very little Spiritual Power is infused into them, so their functions are limited. A paper figure like this one, used for gathering information, can last at most two minutes and doesn’t even talk."

"Are there paper figures that can talk?" the Lord quickly asked.

"Yes, the ones I send to carry out tasks can talk and even fight. What they can do all depends on what I instruct them to do."

"So that’s how it is!" The Lord’s bright black eyes shimmered with "You’re amazing" brilliance.

Yun Qi shrugged, smiling with squinty eyes.

"Lord, the Big Peacock chased you in the dream and now appeared at the High Priest’s, why do you think that is?"

"Are you suggesting the High Priest wants to harm me?" The Lord frowned in thought, "Impossible, the relationship between me and the High Priest is decent, I’ve always considered him an elder, why would he want to harm me?"

Yun Qi pinched a meat pie, tilting her head, "Tonight is the last night, whether the Peacock Demon can take your life depends on tonight, by then, all mysteries will be solved."

At night, the Lord lay on the bed, resembling a corpse, with both hands crossed over his chest.

With Yun Qi nearby, Yun Kuang felt braver. Also, knowing that the Lord was being hunted by their Guardian God, he suddenly wasn’t afraid of him anymore.

After all, the Lord is someone disfavored by his family’s Guardian God. Thinking of it this way, the Lord suddenly seemed weak and easy to bully.

Peeking forward, "Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but you look like you’re at a funeral in that position."

Yun Kuang laughed cheekily after speaking.

Yun Qiucheng couldn’t help but smack his son a bit to remind him to be respectful.

Yun Kuang smirked indifferently, with a casual demeanor.

Hearing him, the Lord knew he was being teased, helplessly let his hands down, placed them tightly on his sides.

Yun Kuang added, "This position looks even more like a funeral than before."

The Lord held back his temper, putting his hands back into place, thinking it wasn’t right, then putting them down again...

After several attempts, he felt doomed, unable to sleep.

Yun Qi was drawing talismans, kindly said, "Relax a bit, Qi is here, don’t be nervous, huh."

In a tone used for coaxing children, the Lord, although feeling a bit embarrassed, unexpectedly found it comforting, so he relaxed, turned over to lie on his side, one arm lazily draped over himself.

Yun Qi raised an eyebrow, clapped her little hands strongly, "I told you to relax, but not like this."

The Lord felt extremely embarrassed, hurriedly lay flat again, and this time didn’t know where to put his hands.

While the Lord was wrestling with his own hands, a white, tender, and soft finger suddenly pointed at his forehead, followed by a Spirit Talisman being applied, "Don’t move, it’s for Soul Stabilization; otherwise, the Peacock Demon would easily drain your last bit of essence energy."

The Lord obediently lay still, not minding how his hands were placed; with the Soul Stabilization Spirit Talisman applied, he suddenly felt completely at ease, the fatigue and heaviness that had surrounded him vanished, as if something had returned.

Thinking this, his eyelids grew heavy, sleepiness overcame him, and he drifted to sleep in a daze.

It was only eight-thirty, Yun Qi glanced at the clock on the table, the Lord’s clock, made of gold with jewels encrusted on both sides, even the hands glistened with a golden light.

Yun Qi’s eyes followed the hands halfway around, successfully inducing a yawn.

Little kids suppressing demons have this issue: they easily get sleepy.

She sat on the wide, soft leather sofa, almost sinking in, drowsily rubbed her eyes, her eyes nearly brimming with tears from the yawning.

Suddenly, the Lord who was snoring furrowed his brows, beneath his eyelids his eyeballs could be seen twitching violently.

This was a sign of dreaming.

Next, the Lord’s hand suddenly grasped the bedsheet, his arms and legs struggling as if trying to break free.

Nightmare!

Yun Qi waved her little hand, golden light converging at her fingertips, instantly entering the Lord’s dream.

It was still in the Imperial Palace, with the aftermath of yesterday’s battle’s chaos and wreckage, a claw had already clasped the Lord’s neck, lifting him up from the ground, his feet striving to touch the ground for support.

The Peacock turned around angrily, "Why is it you again, disrupting my plans time and again!"

Yawning repeatedly, Yun Qi didn’t forget to correct, "Including yesterday is only the second time. And Qi is saving you, your mind is being enchanted by something, once you commit a massacre, you’re very likely to be targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and by then, no one will be able to save you."

The Peacock tilted its head slightly, as if unable to comprehend what Yun Qi was saying.

Yet the rapidly turning eyeballs showed he was seriously pondering, just unable to comprehend quickly.

The scene resembled a frozen computer screen, the little circle spinning tirelessly, showing it’s trying hard, but it could drive the person in front of the computer crazy.

Yun Qi stepped forward, staring hard, eyes clear, her mouth slightly curved up, revealing a simple, innocent smile, extending her little hand forward, "It’s still not too late to give up now, the Lord isn’t tasty at all, look at him all dark and fat, always throwing tantrums, he’s probably stinky to eat."

The Lord being pinched by the Peacock’s neck was nearly suffocating, rolling his eyes intensely, yet somehow had a moment of clarity, thinking saving someone didn’t involve personal attacks, did it?

The Peacock slightly loosened its claw, seemingly convinced, "Really?"

His eyes sparkled with innocent confusion, looking like a child lacking maturity.

"Really, the kindergarten teacher said children shouldn’t lie," Yun Qi seriously said, even nodding her little head, "Aren’t you just hungry? Qi will share some tasty food with you..."

Saying this, she took out three Spiritual Incenses from her backpack, they weren’t very long, with a thought, the Spiritual Incenses lit up, her little hand gathered dust and rubble on the ground, forming a small mound, inserting the three Spiritual Incenses into the mound.

Wisps of smoke rose, spreading across the Peacock’s face.

For a moment, the confusion in the Peacock’s eyes seemed to fade.

Then, Yun Qi gave a sweet smile, took out assorted small snacks from her backpack.

High-calcium milk tablets, shrimp chips, French fries, small bread, codfish sausages, and even a box of "Wangwang."

"Super tasty, Qi doesn’t lie," clear phoenix eyes glanced at the Lord, seriously said: "Definitely tastier than the Lord."

The Lord instantly had a lightbulb moment, managing to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty, "I’m not tasty... I didn’t shower today, and... foot odor!"

Perhaps defeated by foot odor, the Peacock blinked heavily, suddenly released its claw, and the Lord thudded onto the ground.

"What is that stuff, is it tasty?"

The Peacock turned around, its beautiful tail feathers sweeping the ground, like a falling galaxy, vast like a sea of stars, yet all its attention was on the small snacks before it.
