The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

Huan Qing Yan could not be bothered about his impression; she only believed in one rule: if someone treats her well, she would treat the person well, but if someone treats her badly, she would return the favor ten times over!

As for whether Ji Mo Ya prefers her character or not, that would be something out of her control.

Since her status would already be considered as lowly to the Ji Mo Clan, there would not be much chances for them to be together anyway, so there's no need for her to go out of the way to act demure and demure.

She only needed to display her side as Ji Mo Ya's spirit chef who would be difficult to mess with.

Huan Qing Yan turned her head and challenged Ji Mo Ya with her gaze, but Ji Mo Ya's expression did not change; he continued to display that charming celestial gentleman image of his.

"Mama, what happened to Huan Ying Hu's body?"

"Its outside the Aged Consulate; we wanted to ask you what to do with it. Normally, it should be delivered to the officials, yet it would tarnish your reputation if that happens…"

Ji Mo Ya coolly replied, "There's no need to meet the officials. Yu Yi, search and arrest everyone on that name list."

"Yes, Young Master," Yu Yi acknowledged.

Huan Qing Yan asked, "Would it cause any trouble?"

After all, this was the Hanging Cloud Empire, and Ji Mo Ya took action privately for matters meant for officials…

"We are catching individuals who were related to the Greater Demon case, so it won't affect us." Ji Mo Ya replied firmly.

Huan Qing Yan was indebted to Ji Mo Ya for many times already, adding one more made no difference.

So she simply let him do what he wanted.

***

Dawn arrived when everything was done.

Huan Qing Yan sent off Madam Huan and the rest from the gates, but Madam Huan did not dare to return home due to fear. Only after Ji Mo Ya assigned two Feather Guards to specially protect her, did she become willing to return home with the serving girls.

In the backyard of the Aged Consulate, Star Attraction Pond.

Huan Qing Yan was getting ready to attract a star.

Within the quiet backyard, only Ji Mo Ya and her were there. Up in the sky hanging, were many grains of shining stars, peacefully flickering…

Huan Qing Yan was currently seated within the Star Attraction Pond; this pond was not as big as the one within the Royal Palace, but the amount of spirit energy within it was not low because there was a layer of eye-catching spirit stones glowing and covering the bottom of the pond.

The leaf spirit treasure was released.

It needs to attract a star!

The pig spirit had wanted to emerge and take revenge, but it was forcefully being suppressed by Huan Qing Yan in her wrist, preventing it from coming out to cause trouble. It was an important period, not a time for the two of them to fool around.

The leaf spirit treasure circled Huan Qing Yan, dancing agilely and effortlessly…

Slowly, a surging pulse of spirit energy appeared in the surroundings of the leaf.

The sky seemed to have turned dark once again!

However, as it was still only the beginning of dawn, the sky was still relatively dark; therefore, the phenomenon did not attract anyone's attention.

Within the darkness, a shining bright star was quickly flying towards their direction.

The leaf spirit treasure was covered in a thick layer of spirit energy as it flew upwards, towards the star.

……

When she saw a Goose Egg size star shining brightly above the leaf spirit treasure, Huan Qing Yan was both excited and happy.

"Young Master Ya, my leaf spirit treasure also possesses Goose Egg Star Talent!"

Ji Mo Ya had knew long ago when he was observing the star as it flew towards them; he was able to determine its size from the amount of light the star was emitting.

"Congratulations!"

Huan Qing Yan continued, "Come to think of it, if its star talent is weaker than the pig spirit, it would not have dared to challenge it. However, it is still good to have two spirit treasures, just that it will make ranking up hard harder in the future."

Ji Mo Ya said, "Results and efforts are closely related; if you wish to obtain twice the power, then you must be willing to put in twice the amount of effort."

"True, I will just have to put in more effort in training and quickly rise my leaf spirit to Four-Stars."

As Huan Qing Yan spoke that last sentence, the pig spirit began to whisper grunts of protest in her mind.
