Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 274 Dividing Spirit Beasts into Low, Medium, and High Levels

Ye Qing'an coldly curled the corners of her mouth: "Yes, he was the former Imperial Preceptor and also a Supreme Being. Although he was a dual Supreme Being, he was still a Supreme Being. Moreover, three generations of emperors of the Siyou Kingdom invited him to serve as Imperial Preceptor, but he refused them all."

"I'm quite curious about this kind of person. What kind of conditions did you offer to make him willing to cooperate with you in this charade?"

Jiuxiao's eyes widened, a look of disbelief flashing across them. After a long while, he stammered, "I...I...it was silver. I gave him some silver."

"Silver?" Ye Qing'an sneered, "Do you think someone like him could ask for as much silver as he wanted?"

Ye Qing'an raised his whip, which struck the stone beside Jiu Xiao, and the stone instantly cracked...

Jiuxiao shuddered: "I...I...I..."

"Speak! If you don't speak, I guarantee that next time, this whip will fall on your body."

Jiu Xiao, his face contorted in a mournful expression, burst into tears, wailing, "You forced me to do this before! You forced me to find someone I could bribe, someone Ye Qinghao could trust. This is too much of a burden! Where am I supposed to find such a person?"

"So...so I had no choice but to ask someone else for help."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "You asked someone else for help? Who did you ask for help? Tell me!"

"I need help..." Jiu Xiao's eyes darted around erratically, avoiding Ye Qing'an's gaze. "I need help, I need help..."

"Speak! If you delay me any longer, I'll skin you alive and make snake soup!"

"I asked Yi Moxu for help!"

Jiu Xiao, having given up all hope, roared loudly. After roaring, he glanced timidly at Ye Qing'an, who was squinting and had a cold and ruthless expression: "I asked Yi Moxu for help, and it was Yi Moxu who made the arrangements."

"So, you disappeared after I left the study earlier. Did you go to find Yi Moxu?"

“Yes.” Jiu Xiao pursed his lips and snorted. “I heard Ye Qinghao say that he was going to take you to inspect those shops, so I hurriedly went to find Yi Moxu. Yi Moxu deduced the order in which Ye Qinghao would take you to inspect the shops by calculating the distance from the Ye residence to those shops, and then arranged for Abbot Minghua to be there.”

Ye Qing'an snorted softly. This damned snake, although it was the one who went to find Yi Moxu, it was her spirit beast, and she was the one who owed the favor.

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath: "When you asked Yi Moxu to do this for you, didn't Yi Moxu ask you for any reward? Or did he make any demands?"

"No." Jiu Xiao was also a little guilty, and only coughed lightly: "When Yi Moxu heard me tell the story, he didn't say anything, he just told me to entrust this matter to him with peace of mind."

Jiuxiao coughed lightly: "If he asks me for any reward or makes any demands, I can't fulfill them. After all, I only have a little bit of silver left, but judging from Yimoxu's appearance, he doesn't seem like someone who's short of money..."

“Yes…” Ye Qing’an looked at Jiu Xiao with a cold smile. Yi Moxu was indeed not short of money, and he did not ask him for anything or make any demands.

It's just that Yi Moxu has pinned this on her and is preparing to demand it from her.

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, Jiu Xiao thought he had successfully shifted the blame. He glanced at Ye Qing'an silently and then took another bite of his chicken leg.

"Moreover, not only did Yi Moxu not seek revenge, but he also handled this matter very well today, didn't he?"

"Since Abbot Minghua is so powerful, it means that Ye Qinghao believed his words. So, Master, haven't you already achieved your goal?"

Ye Qing'an gave him a cold look: "You seem quite smug?"

"No..." Jiu Xiao quickly waved the chicken leg in his hand: "No, no, it's nothing, I'm not very proud of it."

Jiuxiao coughed lightly: "I just think, well, now that things are done, that's good enough."

No sooner had Jiu Xiao finished speaking than Ye Qing'an's whip landed at his feet, grazing past his shoes.

Jiu Xiao nearly jumped up, then stared wide-eyed at Ye Qing'an: "Whoa! What are you doing?"

“Yi Moxu did not ask you for any reward, but he will definitely ask me for it.”

Jiu Xiao opened his mouth, seemingly considering the possibility of this matter. After thinking for a while, Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an again: "If you want it... then go ahead and have it. Anyway, aren't you... aren't you in that kind of relationship? Since you've already consummated your marriage, then you're considered husband and wife, right? There's no need to calculate things like that between husband and wife, is there?"

Seeing Ye Qing'an's cold gaze sweep over him, Jiu Xiao quickly said, "Alright, alright, I know, I know. I won't do it again, I won't do it again. Next time, no matter what it is, I will never go to ask Yi Moxu for help without your permission, okay?"

Ye Qing'an snorted: "I hope you remember what you said today. If there is a next time, I don't care if you are my spirit beast or not, I will definitely take your dog's life."

"I'm not a dog," Jiu Xiao muttered softly.

Even though she spoke softly, Ye Qing'an heard it clearly. Ye Qing'an chuckled and her eyes were cold.

"I've got it." Jiuxiao whimpered, why did he have to be stuck with such a master?

Ye Qing'an, however, sat down directly on a rock to the side: "I've always felt that spirit beasts are also divided into low, medium, and high levels."

That's natural.

Jiuxiao nodded, for example, he was a high-level spirit beast.

"But in my opinion, the distinction between low, medium, and high-level spirit beasts is not based on their spiritual power, but rather on their ability to get things done..."

“A low-level spirit beast, no matter how high its spiritual power is, will only obey its master’s orders. It will do whatever its master tells it to do, and it will not think for itself.”

"Medium-level spirit beasts will try to find shortcuts and methods to get things done."

"High-level spirit beasts are not much different from humans. They can cultivate their own forces. However, the forces cultivated by high-level spirit beasts are also magical beasts. They can use the forces they cultivate to gather information, provide them with more clues, and then use the forces to do more things, helping their masters think more deeply and further."

"I have high hopes for you; I hope you can become a high-level spirit beast."

Jiu Xiao hadn't expected Ye Qing'an to say these things to him. He was stunned for a while before frowning and asking in confusion, "Cultivating your own power, but are those powers also magical beasts? Using them to gather information and carry out tasks?"
