The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

Jiutang shook his head, calmed himself, and threw this strange thought out of his mind.

"This thing is quite old. Be careful with it. It's my treasure." Su Yue was not as casual as usual at this time. Instead, she placed it carefully on the table in front of Jiutang and touched it reluctantly.

Su Yue looked at Jiu Tang and added, "If you don't understand something, come and ask me. If you can figure out puppetry yourself, it will be much more effective than if I teach you. This is something my master passed down for some time.

I know you can't stay with me for long, so I'll give this to you. Xiaoxiao, if you stay with me longer, I will teach you personally."

Jiutang's fingertips brushed over the four characters, and in the haze she seemed to see a golden light flashing in the middle. She carefully stroked the pages, as if she could feel a taste of simplicity and time coming to her face: "Thank you, Second Master. I will definitely live up to your expectations..."

Su Yue waved her hand and said, "Since you call me Master, why are you still being so polite to me? We should get up there as soon as possible."

I saw Dean Park Yi still staring at the tea in a daze.

Jiutang asked carefully: "Dean, I heard that the three masters came here to wait for someone... I wonder if they have waited for someone now?"

"Idiot!"

Su Yue rubbed her forehead and patted Jiutang's head gently.

"Of course I am waiting for you. Otherwise, how could Pu Yi give away the Hongmeng Ring right away? An ancient artifact is not a cabbage sold on the street."

Seeing Jiutang opening his mouth to say something, Su Yue put her finger to her lips and said with a sweet smile: "Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you ask. If I have to say it, it's because the time is not right yet and I can't reveal the secret in advance."

"So mysterious..." Jiutang muttered, and got hit on the forehead again.

Jiutang smiled and was about to say something else when he saw a flash of light outside, followed by the spread of spiritual energy. It was obvious that someone had advanced during the training. Judging from the richness of the spiritual energy, someone had probably broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

Jiutang thought for a moment and thought that it could only be Brother Li.

Neither Pu Yi nor Su Yue were surprised. Pu Yi still didn't raise his head, while Su Yue picked up her long black hair with her fingers and looked outside.

"As for that kid Li Wei, it's almost time. He has been in the academy for so many years, but he is only in the initial stage of Golden Core. It's really a bit slow." Su Yue complained.

Jiutang thought for a while and said, "I heard from Brother Li that he was doing odd jobs before and has only been practicing for a short time. It's not bad that he has reached this level of cultivation now."

This was indeed a sincere compliment from her.

But Su Yue didn't expect that she would disagree: "Xiao Jiutang, let me ask you, how long have you been practicing?"

Jiutang thought about it and realized that she had worn it at that time this summer, but she couldn't remember the exact date.

"About... four or five months?"

But her rapid improvement was inseparable from A Yan and Xiao Yu. The energy absorbed by these two gave back to her in large quantities.

"That's it. Li Wei must have practiced for a period of time..." Su Yue counted on her fingers, "Well, I haven't calculated it specifically, but it should take at least one or two years."

"It's getting late now, you should go check on Pu Yuan first. The dean and I have something to discuss." Su Yue said.

Jiutang nodded, and seeing that the dean still looked troubled, he stood up and said, "Yes. I'll take my leave, disciple."

When he was about to leave and close the door, he only heard the dean sighing.

In her memory, the dean was always a cheerful old man. What happened today?...

Jiutang frowned, thinking in his heart, not understanding what happened. But for the current situation, the upcoming college competition is more important.

After closing the door and walking out of the building, Jiutang headed towards the house not far away where smoke was coming out.

The scenery in Yinzhu Academy is extremely beautiful. It is getting late at this time. Standing on the small hill here, you can see the brilliant and prosperous sunset in the distance. It seems to be rushing out from the horizon, gorgeous and dazzling.

A breeze blew by, and the clouds hanging in the sky trembled slightly.

"Hey, sister, have you finished talking to the dean?"

Hearing the kitchen door being pushed open with a creak, Pu Yuan estimated that it was still early for the get out of class to end. Although he didn't see who came in, he guessed it at once. After saying this, a white, plump, round head popped out from the kitchen.

"Yes, didn't I tell you that after I see the dean, I'll come to you first."

Jiutang sniffed: "Brother Pu Yuan, it smells so good."

"Come, come, come and take a look." Pu Yuan lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and called Jiutang to go into the kitchen to take a look.

"My sister threw away so many of my things, which really broke my heart. So I changed that habit now. I will never store so many things now. Even for rice and flour, we only store enough for one month. Otherwise, if they go bad, we have to throw them away, which is really heartbreaking."

Pu Yuan blinked his eyes, and he looked somewhat similar to A Yan.

Jiutang looked at the dishes in the big pot and praised them generously.

"Great, brother Pu Yuan. I was wondering how you could improve so much. You made such rapid progress. I smelled this smell as soon as I left the dean's room. It's even better than the chef of the largest restaurant in the imperial city!"

Pu Yuan scratched his head shyly: "Nowhere, no where."

Suddenly remembering something, Pu Yuan slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I have traveled for such a long time and arrived only at noon. Our college is in this deserted place. I must have not eaten anything at noon. I happen to have some cooked food here. Why don't you try it first?"

Pu Yuan said, and hurriedly pushed Jiutang out of the kitchen. He turned back and started to tinker with something. He said loudly, "Sister, sit down for a while. I'll be right there!"

Jiutang looked a little dazed. Although Pu Yuan and Jiu Zhaoyan looked nothing alike, the tone of their voices just now and the word "sister" suddenly overlapped.

"Brother..." Jiutang murmured, looking into the distance, "Where are you now..."

Jiu Zhao's people have all been slaughtered, their souls have been collected by Huai Yin, only his brother is missing. I wonder if he is still alive and well.

Although her brother was not a reckless person, she was really worried that if he returned to Jiuzhao and saw the corpses everywhere, he would do something stupid...

The silly little fat boy came out, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and walked out with a big food box in his hand.

Pu Yuan opened the lid of the lunch box and placed the contents one by one in front of Jiu Tang. His face was flushed - it seemed that he was running back and forth in the heat.

"Taste how it tastes."

Jiutang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of dish, and ate another bite of the rice in the bowl.

"How about it?"

"Hmm..." Jiutang paused deliberately, and said under Pu Yuan's expectant gaze, "Very good! And the spiritual energy in it seems to be much stronger than before."

Pu Yuan chuckled: "Because I advanced a few days ago, now I am already at the high level of Heartbeat."

"Heartbeat high level?" Jiutang put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I remember when I saw you before, you were still at the Heartbeat low level. I didn't expect that in such a short time, you could actually upgrade two levels."

"Ah... Speaking of which." Pu Yuan scratched his head, "My cultivation method is different from theirs, and it's quite strange. Everyone relies on absorbing spiritual energy to advance, but I rely on cooking. The more I cook, the higher my cultivation will be. In this way, the food I cook will also have more spiritual energy."

Jiutang smiled faintly: "It's really interesting. I have never heard of this kind of practice method before."

Pu Yuan rubbed his hands and said sincerely: "Sister, if you want to eat something in the future, just tell me."

Jiutang was stunned for a moment, then replied softly, "Okay."

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, accompanied by some noisy laughter.

"Pu Yuan, no wonder the door was not open today, it turns out you are giving special treatment to the Ninth Miss." Li Wei's voice suddenly came, and then the half-closed door was pushed open, and heads popped out one after another.

"Miss!" Qingwu squeezed in from the crowd first, holding Jiutang's hand, with deep concern in his eyes: "Miss, are you okay? You are not injured."

"Sister, I'll go serve the dishes first." Pu Yuan slapped his head when he saw everyone was here, "Oh, it's my fault that my sister and I were so engrossed in our conversation that I forgot that everyone was back at this time."

A group of people outside the door rushed in and sat down in groups of three or five.

There were a few familiar faces. Li Hu and Baozi were holding hands. Ye Xing crossed his arms and lowered his head slightly. The loose hair on his forehead blocked his vision. He looked up inadvertently and met Jiutang's gaze.

Dong Anchen rushed out from behind Li Wei: "Brother, long time no see."

"Ah? If I remember correctly, we have only been apart for two days."

"Hey, it feels like a long time since we last met." As he said that, Dong Anchen sat down opposite Jiutang, while Dongfang Xiao and Qingwu sat beside Jiutang.

Looking up and seeing Li Wei still wandering around, Dong Anchen took the opportunity to hook his arm around Li Wei's neck and said, "Brother Li, come and sit over here."

"A new person is here? You're Jiutang? I often hear Brother Li mention you."

A dagger hit Jiutang's desk with a bang, and the people at the table who wanted to speak stopped talking.
