The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 447 She will be a thorn in everyone's side
The Rong family head suffered a backlash that severely damaged his vital energy. Even Lang Jiuchuan, who fought against the two evil spirits, was not much better off, also suffering a great loss of vital energy. She repeatedly activated the thunder magic, which required a huge amount of spiritual power and essence. In her previous body, she would not have dared to abuse it like this. It was only because she helped Ning Zhe overcome the thunder tribulation last time and obtained the power of thunder to expand and strengthen her meridians that she had the confidence to do so now.

Even so, she was already exhausted and injured. Fortunately, Gong Qi and others were able to clean up the mess caused by the water demons on the Qiong River, so she found a valley and secluded herself in seclusion.

Time seems to stand still in the mountains, and so too does spiritual practice.

When Lang Jiuchuan emerged from the Nine Towers and returned to his body, which had been enveloped by water essence, he opened his eyes and saw Fu Qi and Jiang Che cultivating in the distance.

When she slew the two evil spirits, the tiger was still comprehending and advancing, so she left it at the Wanshi Shop and did not take it with her. Now it has long since awakened, and its spiritual consciousness is completely in sync with the tiger's body. Its snow-white fur is smooth and thick, and its pair of golden tiger eyes are majestic and domineering, full of murderous aura.

It has grown into a majestic little tiger cub.

Noticing Lang Jiuchuan's movement, he flashed and leaped into the air, landing on Lang Jiuchuan's shoulder. He licked her face and said with some annoyance, "Next time, Zhan Xie should try to wait for me."

It hadn't expected that it would take so long to digest the power of lightning and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which prevented it from fighting alongside Lang Jiuchuan. Seeing how badly her vital energy was depleted, it knew that it had been two fierce and dangerous battles.

Jiang Che expressed his frustration at not being able to help.

Lang Jiuchuan felt a weight on his shoulder and pulled it off. His eyes lit up when he saw the thick fur. He immediately reached out and plucked a few handfuls, but after touching it, he frowned and said, "The fur is too stiff."

A real tiger's fur is not as soft as a human's hair; it also becomes its weapon, and the greater its strength, the more it will use it.

Knowing her character, Jiang Che subdued his aura, and somehow, his fur became soft.

Lang Jiuchuan was satisfied and didn't miss its dejection. He said, "There will be plenty of time in the future. There will be many opportunities to fight side by side. There's no need to rush. This little tiger is still weak. No matter how strong you are, your teeth are not sharp enough. You might end up being buried with it for nothing, which would be a loss."

Jiang Che looked up, and those large, golden eyes stared at her, reflecting her image. He said, "That's not how it works. I've been watching you get here the whole time. Have you ever shown any fear?"

Lang Jiuchuan smiled.

No, not at all.

But the memory of the helplessness Master Ruoxu felt when he attacked the dying half-demon when she was exhausted still bothered her.

She didn't like this feeling of powerlessness!
Ruoxu was dealing with a half-demon, but if he ignored her and threw the talisman at her, even if she had a strong will to survive, she would still be at a disadvantage due to her lack of strength.

She disliked and didn't want to experience that feeling of helplessness at the mercy of others. It also taught her that no matter what she was dealing with, she should always have a way out.

Still not strong enough!
Lang Jiuchuan gripped Jiang Che's neck, his eyes swirling with turbulent emotions.

Fu Qi walked over, and Lang Jiuchuan said, "Shopkeeper, why aren't you guarding the shop? What are you doing here?"

"We're not short of money, we have plenty." Fu Qi said coldly, "You're more important!"

He dug up the real tomb of a corrupt official from a previous dynasty, donated most of it to build roads and bridges, and kept some of the good things, including a number of jewelry and antiques.

So even if there's no business, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that Lang Jiuchuan is safe and sound. She looks powerful, but she's isolated and helpless. Who can she rely on? The Marquis of Kaiping's mansion? Her formidable enemies are the Rong family, the Xuan family, and even the Tantai royal family. The stronger she is, the more she threatens them, making them feel uneasy and fearful.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

An uncontrollable yet powerful person can unite many people with shared interests to fight against them.

She will be a thorn in their side.

Therefore, how could we let her go into seclusion alone when her vital energy was greatly depleted? What if someone took advantage of the situation? So we had to protect her from the sidelines.

Lang Jiuchuan: "..."

She said nothing, only plucked Jiang Che's hair, looked at Fu Qi with a cold and stern face, exuding a murderous aura, and said with a smile, "Let's go home."

Who says she's all alone? Doesn't she have companions by her side all the time?
When Lang Jiuchuan emerged from seclusion, the Time Gate had already entered the Five Poisons Month, and even the Dragon Boat Festival had passed. Yet, Wujing was bustling with activity. Lang Jiuchuan went to the Surveillance Department and learned that Young Master Rong was preparing to marry Tantai Cong.

So suddenly?

Gong Qi said meaningfully, "The Rong family head killed a hundred-year-old flying zombie in Pingshan, which greatly damaged his vitality and cultivation. He needs a happy event to boost his energy. Besides, the young master Rong is getting old, so it is normal for him to get married."

Lang Jiuchuan laughed: "A marriage to ward off bad luck? You believe that because you killed a century-old flying zombie, your vitality was greatly damaged?"

What a coincidence! She killed the half-demon, and the half-demon's contract master was bound to suffer a backlash. But in the blink of an eye, the Rong family head lost his vital energy and strength because of the battle with the flying zombie. Who would believe that?

Gong Qi said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not is a matter of opinion. The Rong family has already made thorough preparations for this excuse. Flying zombies do exist."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled sarcastically and said, "That's right. After all, they are a Xuan clan that has been around for over a hundred years. It's not difficult for them to cover up a rumor. They might even be able to produce a flying zombie, given their deep family foundation."

This implies that the Gong family is also included in the meaning.

Gong Qi laughed awkwardly and said, "No matter how well prepared we are, the Enforcement Hall and the Supervision Department are also investigating this matter. Keeping half-demons for one's own use is against the harmony of heaven."

Lang Jiuchuan remained noncommittal, it didn't matter to her anyway, since she never expected rumors to actually kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator; he had to be left to kill herself.

"The Rong family is in such a hurry, which shows that the Rong family head has truly suffered a great loss of cultivation." Lang Jiuchuan looked at Gong Qi: "I heard that the Rong family has a great formation protecting the clan, and that unauthorized people are not allowed to trespass?"

"You don't mean to go and risk it, do you?" Gong Qi immediately sensed the hidden meaning in her words. He glanced at her sideways and said, "The Rong family has an ancestor who cultivated to the Golden Core stage and became a highly accomplished Daoist. This clan-protecting formation was set up by that ancestor and is blessed by her will. It has been maintained all these years. Without someone to guide you, you will easily get lost in the illusion within the formation. If no clan disciple discovers you, you may lose your life inside."

Lang Jiuchuan's eyes flashed, and he asked again, "Where did Young Master Rong leave from for his wedding?"

Gong Qi looked at her intently: "Are you trying to cause trouble?"

"How could that be? It's the wedding of the Xuan Clan's young master, I have to give her a generous gift." Lang Jiuchuan said with a forced smile.

Her smile was chilling, and Gong Qi couldn't help but wonder if this grand gift was made of paper money.
