From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

The two girls cuddled together like this. In the quiet camp, the bonfire gradually went out, and everything was silent, leaving only the soft sound of the wind, telling the lonely and peaceful movement.

But in the tent not far from them, a pair of ears were pricked up, and they heard the conversation clearly.

...

In the dark dense forest, two girls, one big and one small, cuddled together, leaning against a boulder.

Xiao Minghuang hugged Ye Ruoshui's soft and delicate body, seeing the sweet sleeping face on the little girl's face, she couldn't help showing a warm smile.

But the matter of practice should not be neglected.

"System, has my compensation arrived yet?"

【Ding! 】

【detected...】

[Congratulations to the host, trigger five times...]

After accepting the elixir returned by the system, Xiao Minghuang was a little disappointed. The previous compensations were all high multipliers, and the minimum was a hundred times, but this time it was only five times, which is a bit less.

Xiao Minghuang seriously doubts that this is a systematic routine. She is compensated with a high rate in the early stage, and after the transition period is over, the rate will drop immediately.

It seems to be similar to some card draws she played in her previous life.

Xiao Minghuang settled down, drove the strange thoughts out of her mind, and began to count the remaining resources on her body.

But at this time.

The voice of the system sounded again in her mind.

【Ding】

【Ding!It is detected that the host meets the conditions for the number of gifts, and the quota for the second contractor is being opened! 】

[Trigger task: Bind No. 2 contractor, limited to the same gender as the host. 】

[Task Reward: No.2 contract is given for the first time, which will definitely trigger ten thousand times the compensation, and the final reward will be doubled again! 】

Ten thousand times compensation?

double again?

Xiao Minghuang was puzzled, since ten thousand times the compensation was already guaranteed, wouldn't the doubling be [-] times the compensation, why did the system go so far as to add the phrase "the final reward is doubled".

"System, explain in detail what it means to double the final reward."

【Ding!The final reward is doubled, which means that when the host obtains the compensation settlement, it will be doubled again according to the compensation obtained. This probability is calculated independently and is not affected by the compensation ratio. 】

After a systematic explanation, Xiao Minghuang probably understood.

The gift compensation multiplier and the final reward multiplier are calculated independently of each other and do not affect each other. The rewards she gets will be superimposed.

In other words, no matter how many times the crit is triggered, she can only get one compensation, but now she can get two compensations.

After figuring out the function of the system, Xiao Minghuang fell into a tangle again.

The system made it very clear that she had to bind the No. 2 contractor in order to get the task reward, but in the current situation, where would she go to find the No. 2 contractor?

Once the contractor is bound, it cannot be released unless the contractor dies, so she must ensure that the contractor is a trustworthy person.

Moreover, this person must be reliable, not be scheming, and not part ways with her in the future, otherwise there will be no way to get compensation by giving gifts.

Originally, Xiao Minghuang's plan was to find an honest and well-behaved girl from the people, and raise her by her side since she was a child to cultivate her relationship, but now she is far away in Beiyang City, and she has no time to do these things.

After a day's journey and a battle with evil cultivators at night, Xiao Minghuang was already exhausted, and before she knew it, she fell asleep with the sound of the wind.

...

The next morning.

Xiao Minghuang woke up early, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Ruoshui, a little girl who had unbuttoned her skirt at some point, her small face pressed tightly against the fullness of her chest, with a sweet smile on her face. .

"Mum...so soft...big white steamed buns...delicious..."

Ye Ruoshui babbled, not honest at all, turned around and lay down on the plump peak, and took a bite.

"what!"

next moment.

Ye Ruoshui fell to the ground firmly, opened his eyes in a daze, and looked around in a daze, as if he didn't know what happened at all.

Xiao Minghuang tightened his clothes, blushed slightly, put on a natural posture, and said lightly:

"It's dawn, we should hurry."

Ye Ruoshui got up from the ground, still didn't know why, but went to pack her luggage very obediently.

Ye Ruoshui opened the tent and saw Lin Wanqiu fully dressed and about to come out.

After a night's rest, Lin Wanqiu developed thick dark circles under her eyes, as if she was preoccupied, and she looked listless and very decadent.

Ye Ruoshui frowned, didn't think much about it, guessed in her heart that maybe this woman was more comfortable with the bed, so she didn't sleep well.

"Miss Lin didn't rest last night, okay?"

"fine..."

The corner of Lin Wanqiu's mouth curled up into a smile, but there was no joy on her face. At this moment, her mind was in a mess, she was not in the mood to greet Ye Ruoshui, and started on the road on her own.

Looking at her back, Ye Ruoshui didn't think much, and started to pack her luggage.

After a while, all the sundries were tidied up and put into storage bags.

The three of Xiao Minghuang headed towards Beiyang City.

At first, Xiao Minghuang planned to explore the forest for a while, trying to find traces of chance.

But after three days of searching, she found nothing, so she had no choice but to give up and go to Beiyang City instead.

27. Arrive in Beiyang City

Beiyang City is located between mountains, surrounded by rivers on three sides, backed by cliffs, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After trekking all the way, the three of Xiao Minghuang finally arrived outside the city.

During the three days, apart from looking for opportunities and teasing the little girl Ye Ruoshui, Xiao Minghuang just chatted with Lin Wanqiu.

During this period, she learned a lot about the situation in Beiyang City.

Apart from the fact that the owner of Beiyang City is at the peak of the Yongquan Realm, there are also four major families.

In addition, Lin Wanqiu also revealed a very interesting thing.

"I was born with blocked meridians, so I couldn't break through to the Qi Refining Realm. My father spent an untold amount of spiritual stone pills, but he only helped me upgrade to the seventh level of body training..."

When Lin Wanqiu talked about these things, her expression was gloomy and she lost her soul.

After knowing this, Xiao Minghuang also changed his view of Lin Wanqiu.

"Perhaps contracting Lin Wanqiu is also good. If I can help her unblock her meridians so that she can continue to practice, she will be very grateful to me."

As for how to unblock the meridians, it couldn't be easier, just find some basic pills and give them to Lin Wanqiu continuously, and then just wait for the compensation.

Even though it was hard to find basic pills with corresponding effects, Xiao Minghuang still had Ye Ruoshui, a young alchemy genius, by his side, so pills were not a problem at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but fix his eyes on Lin Wanqiu, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and a smile appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Sensing that Xiao Minghuang was looking at her, Lin Wanqiu showed a gentle smile on her fair and pretty face, and there seemed to be a bit of reluctance in her eyes.

But quickly looked away.

Xiao Minghuang and Lin Wanqiu walked in front, they looked at each other with a smile, they exchanged affection with each other, and they secretly looked at each other.

This scene was seen by Ye Ruoshui who was walking behind, and she remained silent, unable to understand the meaning in her heart.

"Your Highness, is she..."

Xiao Minghuang knew nothing about Ye Ruoshui's sensitive mind.

Regarding Lin Wanqiu's expression, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, realizing that this matter was not simple.

She and Lin Wanqiu had known each other for only three days, even though they had an old engagement.

but.

When they first met, Lin Wanqiu didn't even know her name. Isn't it too illusory to say that she has been in love with her since childhood?

However, since they met, Lin Wanqiu has shown her affection frequently, so how to explain it?

After thinking over and over again, Xiao Minghuang whispered to herself:

"Could it be that she fell in love with me at first sight?"

But when I thought about it again, I found it unbelievable.

"Love at first sight, there is no such thing in the world, but it's all made up by boring scholars to comfort themselves."

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Minghuang couldn't figure out what to do, so he didn't dwell on it anymore.

The three of Xiao Minghuang came to the gate of the city. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion had long been waiting here, waiting for the Ninth Princess to arrive.

As soon as she entered the city, Xiao Minghuang received a grand reception from Beiyang City.

"Lin Zhengquan, the lord of Beiyang City, led the officials and soldiers of the whole city to welcome the Ninth Princess!"

Lin Zhengquan led many officials and soldiers, all kneeling down in front of her, extremely respectful.

Behind them, there were many other people who also made big salutes.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Minghuang was a little puzzled. Although she was the princess, Daxia was a dynasty ruled by warriors after all, and she didn't care much about ceremonies. Even if she met the emperor, she didn't have to bow down.

The scene in front of her was beyond her expectation.

After supporting Beiyang City Lord, Xiao Minghuang said loudly: "I can't bear such a big gift, please hurry up!"

All the officials and common people got up and looked at Xiao Minghuang with admiration and gratitude.

Xiao Minghuang looked at Lin Zhengquan with curiosity in his eyes.

Lin Zhengquan explained with a smile:

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince may have forgotten that three days ago, you killed the evil cultivators who were making trouble nearby and rescued the people who were robbed. This is a great deed for the people of our Beiyang City!"

"After everyone heard about it, they spontaneously wanted to thank His Highness the Ninth Highness, so the lower officials arranged today's welcome ceremony, and asked His Highness Ninth Highness not to be offended."

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help laughing, looked at the crowded crowd, and said in a clear voice:

"I appreciate everyone's thanks, but as the princess of Daxia, I should have the responsibility to protect the land and protect the people. It is my duty to kill the evil cultivators who cause disaster. go home!"

When everyone present heard this, they were all moved.

A soldier exclaimed:

"I used to be an errand in the capital, and I was beaten by the second prince's groom just because the switch was released a breath late, which left me with a dark wound, and I couldn't improve my cultivation for life. I met the ninth princess today, and I realized that there is such a kind person in the royal family. Forgive those who are respectful and thrifty.”

There is a weather-beaten man with a grateful expression on his face:

"My daughter disappeared a few days ago. After reporting to the official, the master only told me to wait. Everyone knows that if I really wait like this, my daughter will never be found again... If it wasn't for His Royal Highness Ninth Princess, my daughter would be gone. I really can't get it back!"

Just like that, under the eyes of all the people, a noble and glamorous young girl walked all the way into the City Lord's Mansion.

...

Beiyang City Lord's Mansion, the main hall.

Xiao Minghuang sat in the first place, Ye Ruoshui stood next to her, as for Lin Wanqiu, she disappeared after entering the City Lord's Mansion, probably went back to her room to rest.

Lin Zhengquan and other senior executives of Beiyang City sat on both sides.

After some courtesies, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion retreated, leaving only Lin Zhengquan in the hall.

Lin Zhengquan stood up and glanced at Ye Ruoshui who was standing aside, as if he had something to hide.

Xiao Minghuang glanced at him, and said lightly:

"If Shui is my younger sister, she is very close to me. If you have something to say, just speak up."

Hearing the words "intimate", Ye Ruoshui blushed slightly, and felt a burst of sweetness in her heart.

Lin Zhengquan saw Ye Ruoshui's outstanding appearance, not like a mere maid at all, he couldn't help sighing for his daughter.

After a while, he sorted out his thoughts and said respectfully:
