:]

You have a mischievous and lively personality, you dislike being confined, and it's true that being with me is difficult for you. You don't have to force yourself... We were originally just exchanging benefits anyway.

At first, Lin Qi wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Green Vine. The Heavenly Green Vine craved the fertile soil in Huang Yu's bracelet.

The two parties reached a cooperation agreement, and it was only by chance that they signed the contract.

This was never the original intention of the Sky Vine.

Because she was saved, Lin Qi had always been grateful to the Sky-reaching Green Vine.

The elixir originally dug out from the Spiritual Medicine Realm was sent to it for cultivation.

If there were any good things, she would never be stingy about sharing them with the Heavenly Green Vine.

Rather than saying that the Celestial Green Vine was her contract spirit beast, it's more accurate to say that it was her best partner.

Lin Qi rarely restricts it in all aspects.

Until the matter of the weak water moon rabbit came to light, Lin Qi only then realized she could no longer indulge in the Heaven-Piercing Green Vine's antics.

Her indulgence only harms herself and others.

Tóngtiān lǜ téng glared with wide eyes, her expression of grievance too profound for words.

It stubbornly declared, "I won't go, I refuse to go!"

"Fine me if you want to! I admit my mistake and accept the punishment, but I won't leave!"

It hugged Lin Qi's legs and started acting cutely.

Lin Qi: "..."

She hesitated, "It's okay to not leave."

Tong Tian Lv Teng's eyes lit up.

"Death may be forgiven, but life's consequences cannot be escaped."

Tongtian Green Vine's heart skipped a beat, but thinking of Lin Qi wanting to break the contract with it, it readily agreed without hesitation.

"I promise!"

As long as Lin Qi doesn't drive it away.

Lin Qi was silent for a moment, "As for how to punish you, I haven't figured it out yet. I'll let you know when I have. For now, just stay quietly in your space. If you cause any more trouble, I won't show you mercy!"

The Sky-Piercing Green Vine frantically nodded its head.

This time, it was scared by Lin Qiyi, so it didn't dare to cause any more trouble. Its soul was frightened away.

After Lin Qili finished training with the Heavenly Green Vine, she took off the armadillo that was clinging to her neck with one hand.

Can you speak?

The armadillo pondered for a moment, then shook its head.

Lin Qi raised her head and asked Jinjun, "Can I sign a contract directly with the armadillo?"

She didn't press him on why he hadn't revealed the effects of the Origin Stone first, otherwise, the Sky-Piercing Green Vine wouldn't have caused such a commotion.

There are some things, perhaps Jinchun didn't say, for fear that her mother had already arranged it with the prince.

This happening by chance, perhaps it is also destined from the heavens.

Jin Jun lightly nodded her head, and her figure vanished from the spot.

Lin Qi bit her finger, in the blink of an eye, she drew a formation in the void, it instantly took shape, two formation patterns landed on Lin Qi and the pangolin.

Congratulations!

Her divine consciousness immediately increased by one.

Even Tongtianlv, who was nervously reflecting and contemplating, also noticed the contract between Lin Qi and the pangolin.

All the sadness and sorrow were pushed up by a surge of energy, and my heart felt inexplicably anxious.

Will Lin Qi forget about its old love now that it has a new pet?

Just as he made another big mistake, if this clumsy armadillo took advantage of the situation, his position would be in jeopardy!

Tongtian Lvteng's heart skipped a beat, then his fighting spirit soared.

As Lin Qi sat cross-legged, preparing to examine the small wooden sword,

——

Later replacement

The bone-chilling cold from within the room surged towards Lin Qi, instantly freezing her in place.

Lin Qi casually raised her hand to break the ice layer, charging through it all the way and plunging into Gong Shaojun's arms.

She cried out in a daze of fear, "Mother, Mother! You can't leave! You can't abandon me!"

Gong Shaojun frowned slightly, but did not answer the question.

She reached out and pulled Lin Qi from her arms.

Attention!

A dignified and aloof voice held a chill, while the hands moved with delicate grace, seemingly unintentional.

A gentle feeling can be seen through the space.

Lin Qi subconsciously stood up straight, her nose twitching involuntarily.

Palace Shaojun took a handkerchief and wiped the dirt and tears from her face. His movement paused when he touched the two bumps on her forehead.

This is not the first time.

Lin Qi was born missing a soul and a spirit, specifically the earth soul and the spiritual wisdom spirit. He displayed symptoms similar to idiocy.

When playing outside, I'm always bullied and come home hurt every time.

When asked who had hurt her, she didn't even know she was injured.

She may protect her for a moment, but she cannot protect her for a lifetime.

Gong Shaojun sighed, "You're here just in time, let's go take a look together!"

She raised her hand, and everything that happened in the ancestral hall was projected onto the surface in front of her.

Lin Qi saw his father being pinned to a long bench and beaten. The iron board landed on his father's body, every blow causing him to howl in pain.

Grandmother and mother sat in the first place, their faces calm and indifferent.

"Auntie, " the grandmother asked, “This idiot has shamed our family by doing such a disgraceful thing. He deserves to be killed! But he is still the head of the Lin family... Just spare his life, and you can do whatever you want with him after that!”

Her mother drank two cups of tea calmly and casually, then nonchalantly revealed a big piece of news.

Last night, I luckily broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Qi saw her great-grandmother stand up in shock.

Then, filled with rage, he ordered the servant, "Beat him! Beat him mercilessly! If you kill him, throw his body out!"

The servant, frightened, increased his strength.

The father's screams grew louder and louder, each one more agonizing than the last, and he spat out several mouthful of blood.

“Mother, when the opportunity arose, she spoke softly: ‘Grandaunt, don’t get angry. Lin Jie is timid and indecisive by nature, so he isn’t fit to be the head of the family. Perhaps we could use this incident as an excuse for him to step down and let someone else take his place… what do you think?’”

Lin Qi watched as her great-grandmother's face turned purple.

She both loathes her father's incompetence and resents her mother's constant pressure.

In this remote outpost town, a Yuan Ying cultivator could ensure the Lin family's peace for a thousand years.

If Gong Shaojun were to divorce in a fit of anger and remarry, even Grandma wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

The Lin family mustn't anger this Yuan Ying cultivator.

Grandaunt Grandma, her voice feeble, tentatively probed, "If Lin Jie doesn't become the head of the family, who do you think would be suitable?"

“My dear,” said Mother lightly, “Little Qi is old enough now to take her father’s place.”

When four-year-old Lin Qi takes over as the head of the Lin family after her father?!

Auntie was surprised but also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the head of the Lin family still bears the name Lin, she will not have failed her ancestors.

She immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll have someone start arranging it right away!"

Lying on the ground, half-dead, Lin Jue suddenly raised his head, his red eyes pointing at "Mother": "Young Master, you plotted against me!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, two figures rushed towards Shen Jue with sobs.

One little girl looked angrily at the ancestor on the throne and Gong Shaojun, a few traces of hatred brewing in her eyes.

Lin Qi opened her big eyes, staring at that face that was both unfamiliar and familiar to her.

The girl's face was still youthful, yet it coincided with the appearance of the celestial being named Lin Yun that she had seen in her dream.

Strange memories came flooding in, crashing against Lin Qi's brain like a tidal wave.

She couldn't bear it for a moment, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Xiaqi!"

Gong Shaojun's usually calm and collected voice now held a hint of worry.
