Chapter 55: The White Tiger Saintess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds

Shen Tian got quite stunned by Zhang Yunxi’s question.

That’s correct! Why did I forget about Jiu’er?

I almost got misled into thinking that she can’t be purged!

Previously, Jiu’er had kept emphasizing how important it was to purge those ghost babies.

As such, Shen Tian had almost forgotten that she could also be purged.

When looking at Jiu’er, who had absorbed almost half of the pouch of Spirit Stones during the short exchange Shen Tian had with Zhang Yunxi, he decided that it seemed financially wiser to purge her.

That would help him save lots of money!

“Fairy Zhang, I thank you for your reminder! This had almost slipped my mind. If you can, please help to purge Jiu’er too!” Shen Tian replied to Zhang Yunxi’s question in a straightforward yet righteous tone.

All along, Zhang Yunxi was also observing Shen Tian’s reactions—she wanted to see if he would show any signs of hesitation.

If he did, it would imply that he had kept the Hariti Rosary Beads for some indecent purposes—that perhaps Shen Tian lusted beautiful females like the Ghost Mother.

Yet Shen Tian’s reactions had far exceeded Zhang Yunxi’s expectations.

Shen Tian had a clear look in his eyes, and one could see that he was not reluctant to part with JIu’er at all.

Zhang Yunxi formed a good impression of this suave gentleman.

It seemed like there’s some truth to the rumors in the Myriad Spirit Garden. Perhaps this person might truly be a Master Celestial!

At least from what she saw today, this person had impressive morals.

However, at that moment, tears started running down Jiu’er’s cheeks. She knelt down in front of Shen Tian and cried miserably, “No, Jiu’er does not want to be purged. I just want to remain by Master’s side!

“Since Master had rescued me from that villain Black Blood, my life belongs to you. If Master wants me to be purged, then I will rather choose to have my soul scattered!”

Jiu’er’s attitude deeply shocked Zhang Yunxi.

What, even the vengeful spirit of Hariti will be dazzled by good-looking guys?

Just because your new owner is so much more good-looking than your old owner, would you rather give up the chance to go for reincarnation and stay by his side?

On the other hand, Shen Tian got a headache after hearing Jiu’er’s words. He had no idea what to make of this situation.

Maiden, are you planning to haunt me forever?

Don’t you know how many Spirit Stones I had spent on you?

One shouldn’t behave like this! I had rescued you from Perfected Black Blood, so all the more, you should not blackmail me as such!

“Miss Jiu’er, why don’t you let Fairy Zhang purge you and go for reincarnation? This is so much better for you!”

Jiu’er couldn’t stop tearing up. “Master, do you detest me that much?

“Although Jiu’er is not compatible with Master, please, believe me, I am willing to use my life to protect Master should you run into trouble!

“Jiu’er begs of Master, please do not abandon me!”

Zhang Yunxi sighed when she saw how hard Jiu’er was pleading with Shen Tian.

“I didn’t expect that vengeful spirits like Jiu’er can really feel gratitude.

“Forget it then. My friend, you can keep Jiu’er by your side.

“The Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds have some spectral cultivation methods. I can impart them to this Ghost Mother while I purge those ghost babies later.

“Should Miss Jiu’er train hard at this and maintain her Yin constitution, I am sure she will be able to develop her own Spirit Qi and replace them with the resentment and blood essence, which she depends on for her sustenance.

“In time to come, Miss Jiu’er should be able to become a spectral cultivator.

“But I shall put my words down here: Do not commit any evil crimes from now on. Or else if you transform into a malicious spirit, Miss Jiu’er, you will suffer the wrath of Divine Lightning from my sect! We do not forgive crime-doers easily!”

Jiu’er was deeply appreciative of Zhang Yunxi’s actions. She replied immediately, “No, Jiu’er won’t become a malicious spirit. I will forever remember your kind actions.

“From now on, Jiu’er will focus all energy on cultivation. I will do plenty of good deeds, and I promise that I will not commit any crimes!”

Zhang Yunxi nodded her head satisfactorily when she heard Jiu’er’s promise to her.

At the same time, she also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Well, to be very honest... Zhang Yunxi agreed to not purge Jiu’er, not only because she was touched by her. It was also due to the fact that she was not very familiar with the Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds’ purgatory Dharmic spells.

As the Saintess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds, Zhang Yunxi believed in using force to resolve all kinds of situations.

In the past, when she came across Evil Spirit’s followers and their heretic armaments, she would just vanquish them.

For the few poor souls who needed to be purged, she would let her Elder Brother handle the process.

It was a known fact that out of the Black Dragon, White Tiger, and Gold Qilin siblings from the Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds, the Saintess that wore the White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit was the last person one should meddle with!

Meanwhile, enchanted armaments like Hariti were very difficult to purge.

Zhang Yunxi could not guarantee that she could successfully purge her. Especially for females born in a time of yin, their resentment would be the strongest.

Zhang Yunxi was not confident that she could get rid of Jiu’er’s resentment.

If her brother, Zhang Yunting, or her Senior Brother, Fang Chang, were here, this task might have more chances of success.

Sigh, why did I agree to his request so promptly! Purging spirits are the most laborious tasks. If I knew I would face such circumstances, I would have brought my brother along for this trip!

Zhang Yunxi sighed secretly and could only come to the conclusion that she must be under some spell just now when she agreed to help Shen Tian.

Why did she agree to him so easily, sighs!

At that moment, the room’s door was blasted open, and a red shadow shot straight at Zhang Yunxi!

“Your Highness, please don’t be scared! I have already sent Gao to contact the Enforcers!

“You lackeys from Evil Spirit, don’t you dare to hurt His Highness!

“Your Highness, I will cover for you. Please leave now!”

Within the short span of shouting these words, Eunuch Gui already shot several gusts of blade auras.

Purplish blade shadows covered the room, and they formed a weird sunflower shape. The flowers bloomed in mid-air and released terrifying vibes.

“Oh, Sunflower Blade Auras?

“You are just a mere cultivator who reached the 8th Firmament of the Qi Refinement realm, and you can generate such strong blade auras already?”

Zhang Yunxi looked indifferently at Eunuch Gui, but several thoughts raced through her mind.

“That’s interesting. Did you inherit skills from the Demon Hyuga of the Eastern Wilderness?

“It’s such a pity that your cultivation skills are still too far-fetched from mine, old mister.”

The minute those words left her lips, purplish-red lightning exploded from behind Zhang Yunxi’s slim figure. Immediately, a majestic white tiger enshrouded by purplish-red lightning appeared!

Zhang Yunxi made a clasping action with two of her dainty, jade-like right fingers, and the white tiger behind her let out a huge roar too. What’s amazing was that the width of the white tiger’s mouth actually matched to Zhang Yunxi’s fingers!

Clang!

All the blade shadows were wiped clean in that instant. At the same time, Zhang Yunxi’s fingers firmly clasped the Purple Feather Soft Sword that Eunuch Gui was holding.

No matter how much Spirit Qi Eunuch Gui summoned to get the sword out of her hands, Zhang Yunxi’s fingers seemed like an unmoving mountain.

“I shall let you off this time since you are just worried about your Master!”

Zhang Yunxi flicked her fingers nonchalantly, and lightning struck again.

After which, that expensive Purple Feather Soft Sword was shattered to pieces. Along with that, some lightning shot through Eunuch Gui’s whole body from his arm.

Eunuch Gui’s hair stood up immediately. Meanwhile, his face blackened amidst a series of convulsions, and the smell of burnt meat covered the room.

“Fairy Zhang, please pardon Uncle Gui! This is all a misunderstanding. He did not have any malicious intentions.”

Shen Tian pleaded on behalf of Eunuch Gui, but he only got a cold reply from Zhang Yunxi.

“I know. That’s why he is still standing before us now.”

With that, Zhang Yunxi turned and continued examining the rosary beads.

Shen Tian immediately held out his hands to support Eunuch Gui. “Uncle Gui, are you alright?”

Eunuch Gui shook his head dazedly and replied, “Your Highness, I am alright. I just feel a little drowsy.”

Shen Tian did not know what to comment on this statement. He hurriedly explained, “This lady is the White Tiger Saintess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds. She’s not a bad person.”

At that, Eunuch Gui’s eyes brightened up, and he let out a gratified smile.

“What, even the Saintess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds will visit Your Highness at your room at night?

“Your Highness is indeed artful. Should Her Majesty know this...

“She would be so pleased!”
