Chapter 200 The Illusion of Inner Demons
"So fast?" Although Ye Qing'an had mentioned a few days ago that he might be able to advance in a few more days, Jiu Xiao had always thought that "a few days" was a general term.
Two or three days is still a few days, and twenty-odd days is still a few days.
But I never expected that these few days would really be just a few days.
“Alright.” Jiu Xiao nodded. “Then let’s wait until you’ve had dinner and sent the servants away early, then we can begin.”
"I hope everything goes well, and that you can break through the mental demon realm and successfully advance in one night."
“If it takes you too long to break through your inner demons, and you disappear during the day tomorrow, I don’t know how to explain your sudden disappearance again.”
"After all, you said last time that you had already killed that Nightshade. The excuse of the Nightshade's illusion can no longer be used."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "It's just a mental demon illusion that helps one advance from an illusionist to a spiritual cultivator. Do you think I could be trapped inside and unable to get out?"
“That’s not necessarily true.” Jiu Xiao clicked his tongue. “I’ve heard that the higher a person’s talent, the stronger their inner demons are. There’s a rumor that a Holy Spirit Body was trapped in the inner demon illusion when he was advancing from an Illusionist to a Spirit Cultivator. He couldn’t break through for a whole month.”
"Later, someone distracted me, and I went completely mad with qi deviation."
Ye Qing'an squinted at Jiu Xiao, who then suddenly realized what was happening and quickly slapped himself: "Cough cough cough, my fault, my fault, I shouldn't have cursed you like that."
"What a joke! You are also a supreme being whose soul has wandered to another world. Even Nightshade's illusion couldn't trap you. How could you possibly be trapped by a mere inner demon illusion?"
Ye Qing'an ignored him: "If anything happens, just bring Eleven in with you and say we were kidnapped in the middle of the night."
"..."
Jiuxiao sighed: "That's fine too."
Although he really didn't know, there was no news that Ye Qing'an was a Holy Spirit Body or a Supreme Body, so who would kidnap Ye Qing'an at this time, and even take the child with them?
However, it seems there is no other way besides this excuse.
You always have to make plans, because an accident is called an accident precisely because it is unexpected.
After having dinner with Shiyi, Ye Qing'an went to the Cloud Dreamland.
Once seated in the Dreamland of Clouds, Ye Qing'an began to break through the realm of inner demons.
At first, Ye Qing'an felt as if she had suddenly stepped into empty air and began to fall sharply.
It kept falling, as if it would never reach the bottom.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Ye Qing'an suddenly landed, feeling as if her whole body had been broken apart, and was in great pain.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand, wanting to rub her aching elbow, but suddenly realized that her hand had become small at some point.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, lowered her head, and looked at herself. She was wearing a light blue robe, which seemed a little short, revealing her wrists and ankles.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. In her memory, she had never dressed like this before.
However, after her mother, Su Wan, died in childbirth, the original owner of this body was always in a difficult situation because no one made her new clothes, and she was growing taller at that time, so the clothes she wore were always ill-fitting.
Ye Qing'an looked down and glanced at it again before confirming that this was indeed the experience of the original owner of this body.
But wasn't she undergoing a tribulation? How could this be?
However, Ye Qing'an remembered what Jiu Xiao had said before, that she and the original owner of this body were the same person, but because her soul was scattered to another world, she became the person in another world.
If that's the case, then it's understandable.
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and looked around. She saw that she was by a well, with clothes and... diapers in front of her?
The clothes and diapers were soiled and wet, as if they were about to be washed.
Ye Qing'an frowned. Was this her inner demon? Washing clothes?
Just then, she heard hurried footsteps approaching, and then Granny Wei appeared in front of Ye Qing'an: "Miss, you should go and see, the Second Young Master has woken up again and is crying and fussing, probably because he hasn't seen you."
Ye Qing'an bit her lip, responded, and hurriedly ran into the house.
A small child, about two years old, was sitting on the bed in the room. He had a tiny face and big, watery eyes.
Is this Ye Feiran?
Was he this cute when he was a child?
Ye Feiran looked at Ye Qing'an with teary eyes and reached out her hand: "Sister, hug me, hug me."
Ye Qing'an stepped forward and hugged little Ye Feiran. Ye Feiran bit her lip and said, "Sister, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry."
Eat when you're hungry.
Ye Feiran looked up, her eyes filled with tears: "But there's no food left."
Ye Qing'an carried Ye Feiran out of the house. Seeing that Granny Wei was washing things by the well, she spoke up: "Granny, is there anything to eat? Feiran is hungry."
"That's all." Granny Wei licked her lips. "I used the last bit of rice to make porridge for the Second Young Master this morning."
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to give us some food. You can keep an eye on Fei Ran for me."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she put Ye Feiran down and quickly ran out of the courtyard to the kitchen.
Ye Qing'an seemed to know the way to the kitchen very well, so he took a shortcut and went to the kitchen.
She had only just reached the kitchen door when a servant inside shooed her out with a rolling pin: "There's no food in the kitchen, go on, young lady."
Ye Qing'an became anxious: "Yes, I clearly saw it just now, there was food in the kitchen. If you don't give me any food, I'll go and talk to Father and Mother."
The servant laughed as if he had heard an extremely funny joke: "Then Miss can try to see the Master and Madam. Even if she does see them, we'll have to see if they will believe what you say."
"Get out of here, you good-for-nothing who can't even cultivate. You call yourself a young lady? You're not even as good as the servants in my kitchen."
Ye Qing'an left. She wanted to go find her father, but she was stopped and turned back every time she wandered around the mansion. She couldn't leave the backyard at all, let alone see her father.
It was already completely dark when Ye Qing'an thought of her younger brother who hadn't eaten yet, so she went back to the kitchen.
There was hardly anyone left in the kitchen; only one maid was cleaning it.
Ye Qing'an peeked in and saw a prepared chicken on the kitchen table. The chicken was larger than usual. Although it wasn't cooked, Ye Qing'an hadn't eaten her fill in a long time, and she couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw it.
The cleaning maid seemed to be new and didn't recognize Ye Qing'an. Seeing her looking inside, she smiled and asked, "Which courtyard are you from?"
Seeing Ye Qing'an looking at the chicken, the maidservant continued, "That's a spirit chicken prepared for Madam, to nourish her body. This spirit chicken is very rare; it wasn't easy to get it. Let's prepare it now and simmer it first thing tomorrow morning for lunch..."
