Fate’s Little Feral Consort

By the time Yun Qianyu had prepared everything for the cleansing, Hua Mei had gotten the food ready.

The people at the general kitchen of Eternal Peace Marquis’s Residence did not dare to mess with Yun Qianyu for the time being, so they immediately prepared the food when Hua Mei requested it.

Truth be told, the cooking skills of the people at the general kitchen were not so good, and the dishes were barely edible.

Little Bell complained about it as she was eating the food. She believed that the cooking skills of these cooks were not half as good as big sister Yun’s. ‘Big sister Yun’s minced pork and vegetable soup noodle is really tasty!’

As she ate her food, Little Bell would take glances at Yun Qianyu from time to time. That yearning look from her was obviously trying to tell Yun Qianyu something.

Although Yun Qianyu didn’t look at her, she knew what Little Bell was thinking about. After some time she said gently, “I’ll make food for you when I’m free.”

Little Bell immediately let out a big smile and squinted her eyes, “Big sister Yun, you are so nice. Little Bell likes you so much.”

After that, she ate happily and felt that the food on the table was not so bad afterall.

On the side, Hua Mei looked at Little Bell and couldn’t help giggling. With Little Bell being a happy little sweetheart, she felt that the young miss was not so cold anymore.

Hua Mei did not eat with the young miss and Little Bell.

She felt that since she was a servant, she shouldn’t be eating with the young miss. Little Bell on the other hand was a friend of the young miss.

Hua Mei insisted on this and Yun Qianyu did not force her.

In the main hall of the Black Bamboo Pavilion, they were happy and enjoying each other’s company.

However, Yun Qianyu felt that she was being stared at from outside the main hall. She had intended to ignore it, but in the end, she couldn’t bear it anymore and turned to look out into the courtyard. A sad and pitiful looking spirit beast greeted her.

As soon as he saw her, he jumped on the ground in protest.

“Marten Lord wants to change its name! Marten Lord wants to change Its name!”

He didn’t want to be called Purple Cutie anymore. The name wasn’t manly enough for him.

With a calm expression, Yun Qianyu said, “Give me one good reason.”

The spirit beast immediately raised its head and straightened its back, and said in a righteous manner, “Marten Lord is an alpha male, and thus must have a corresponding name.”

Yun Qianyu side-eyed the purple eyed phantom marten and didn’t see any alpha male characteristic from him. Even though she didn’t insist on a particular name for him, she needed to keep him in check. After all, this purple eyed phantom marten was a ferocious beast. Allowing him to pick his own name would encourage him to be more free-willed and might lead to problems down the line.

After giving it some thought, Yun Qianyu looked at him and said, “I’ll allow a name change this time, but this will also be the last time. If you dare to disobey me in the future, I will surely kick you out.”

While Yun Qianyu said this, she stared coldly at the purple eyed phantom marten to let him know that she was very serious about the matter.

The purple eyed phantom marten felt a little frightened by Yun Qianyu’s cold stare, without knowing the reason for his own reaction.

However, after thinking about what Yun Qianyu said, he felt happy. ‘Did she agree to let me change my name? That’s great!’

Marten Lord then said excitedly, “Hmm… Should I be called Marten Lord, Lord of Beasts or Purple Lord?”

Before he could finish speaking, he realized that Yun Qianyu had already gotten up and left the room, completely ignoring it.

Seeing this, the marten raised its voice and said, “Call me Marten Lord then.”

Yun Qianyu ignored it and went back to her room which she had prepared for the cleansing process. Back in the main hall, immediately after the marten saw Yun Qianyu leave, he puffed up his chest and acted all bossy. He jumped to the chair beside the table and then grabbed the chicken drumstick that Little Bell was grabbing too. When the two hungry beasts locked eyes, it triggered a battle for food.

Watching this scene from the side, Hua Mei was shocked by how the two were willing to fight over a single chicken drumstick. Seeing how the battle was becoming more and more intense, Hua Mei quickly got out and went to help Yun Qianyu.

Yun Qianyu went into the room where she had prepared all the items needed for the cleansing. After getting undressed she stepped into the bath bucket where she had mixed a medicinal bath. She sat down in the bath and immediately swallowed the Essence Cleansing pill.

She soon felt the Essence Cleansing pill start to take effect in every part of her body. Soon, her whole body was aching and the pain became more and more severe as time went on. Finally, due to the medicine in the water, she felt that there were countless small needles pricking her, which caused her to clench her teeth in pain.

However, Yun Qianyu did not give up. Even if she was in pain, she had to bear it, because she needed to know whether she had spirit energy or not. Only with the possibility of cultivating her spirit energy could she become stronger and defend herself.

The difference between spirit energy users and non-spirit energy users was very big.

Yun Qianyu took deep breaths as she thought about her future. At the moment, the Essence Cleansing pill was washing her meridians. It was as though a hand was scrubbing her meridians down, causing her an unusual pain that was hard to bear.

But no matter how much pain she felt, she wouldn’t give up; she couldn’t give up!

Alone in the room, Yun Qianyu put up with the pain and didn’t make any noise as she was worried that would alert Little Bell and Hua Mei, and they would make a fuss of the situation.

Outside, the anxious Hua Mei stood next to the door and listened for any signs of trouble inside the room. After some time, she felt relieved since there weren’t any screams. ‘It seems the young miss is successful with the cleansing process.’

A bit later, Little Bell and the marten also came over. Due to their squabble over food, the two were hostile toward each other. As they came over, they glared at each other.

Recalling that the young miss had asked her to send five sets of jewelry to Li Prince’s residences, Hua Mei told Little Bell and the marten to guard the doors into the young miss’s room.

After they knew what Yun Qianyu was doing, they immediately agreed to it.

One stood in front of the front gate, while the other went to guard the back gate.

On the other hand, Hua Mei went to pick out some jewelry sets and asked someone to send them to Li Prince.

Yun Qianyu spent most of the day sitting in the bath, cleansing her meridians. By the time the pain finally subsided, it was already pretty late. However, she now felt light, and every meridian in her body seemed to be filled with spirit energy. Her five senses were extremely sensitive. Even without prior experience in cultivating spirit energy, she could feel a big difference in her body now.

In fact, she was able to sense Little Bell and the marten’s presence outside her room. She could even feel the breathing of the insects and birds under the night sky.

Yun Qianyu couldn’t help but let out a genuine smile. She felt very refreshed and comfortable, and not at all tired. Since getting injured on her wedding day, she had not been feeling well. However, now she felt way better.

Feeling extremely good, Yun Qianyu looked down at her hand and gently clenched it. Even without taking a spirit energy test, she knew that the seeds needed for a powerful spirit energy were coursing through her veins.

“This is great. I can finally cultivate my spirit energy!”

Yun Qianyu chuckled and came out of the tub. Feeling a new sense of confidence, she called out to Hua Mei, “Hua Mei, prepare a new bucket of water immediately.”

After cleansing her meridians of all the impurities, the contaminants in her body were pulled out from her pores in the form of a black substance. By now the bucket of medicinal water was just a bucket of tarry black liquid.

Only after looking at the bucket of black liquid did she realize how sticky her skin was.
