Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 189 Forbidden Land

Ye Qing'an nodded: "I've been taking pills before each cultivation session lately. I'm already at level eight of the Illusionist class, and I feel like I'll be advancing to the Spirit Cultivator class soon."

Jiuxiao's mouth dropped open: "Isn't this a bit too fast? Do you know that Ye Weilan has been cultivating for so many years and is only at the fourth level of spiritual cultivator?"

"It's easy to cultivate from a martial artist to a phantom, but it's a process of sifting through the sands of time to cultivate from a phantom to a spiritual cultivator. Every year, millions of people try to break through the realm of inner demons and advance to the level of spiritual cultivator, but in the Siyou Kingdom, only about a thousand people actually advance each year."

"You've only been cultivating for two months, haven't you?"

Ye Qing'an wasn't particularly surprised: "When this body's soul wandered into another world, I had already cultivated to the level of a Holy Spirit. Cultivation before the Holy Spirit level was extremely simple for me; it just required consuming time to accumulate spiritual power."

"I have already memorized all those cultivation techniques and spells. As long as my spiritual energy arrives, I can use them skillfully. Therefore, I don't need to spend time on cultivating techniques and spells, which naturally makes me much faster."

Jiuxiao clicked his tongue: "Even so, it's still very fast."

Ye Qing'an nodded, readily admitting, "After all, I am exceptionally intelligent."

"I just don't know what else will appear in this Dreamland after I advance to the level of a Spirit Cultivator."

Jiuxiao's eyes flickered: "No matter what it is, it's still a good thing."

Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "It's just that to advance from a phantom to a spiritual cultivator, one needs to overcome inner demons. Although I don't think overcoming inner demons is too difficult, it still takes a certain amount of time..."

"Furthermore, if I am disturbed in the middle, I am prone to going astray. I need to choose a good time to make sure that I will not be disturbed by others."

Jiuxiao didn't seem to care: "It's fine to stay in this Cloud Dream Realm. Even if the sky collapses in the Cloud Dream Realm, you don't need to worry about it."

Ye Qing'an remained silent and simply sat down to meditate and cultivate.

Jiuxiao rolled his eyes. This was boring, utterly boring.

Watching her meditate and cultivate here is less worthwhile than going out and watching the servants of the Ye family search the entire mansion for someone.

"Have you found them?" Granny Wei's eyes were bloodshot, and she stamped her foot anxiously. "How could someone just disappear like that?"

"Not yet." Zixiao's face was also full of anxiety: "Master has already ordered people to search almost the entire Ye mansion, but they still haven't found any trace of Miss."

"Could she have been kidnapped?" Granny Wei clasped her hands together and paced back and forth.

"But the guards in the mansion said they did not notice anyone entering or leaving the mansion."

Granny Wei pursed her lips: "How is the young master now?"

"She's probably exhausted from crying and has fallen asleep."

"It's good that she's asleep, it's good that she's asleep. A child that young, suddenly finding out that her mother is missing, must be very panicked..."

After thinking for a moment, Granny Wei said, "How about we go to the outer courtyard and invite Physician Xu over? Physician Xu has been playing with the young master a lot lately, and the young master likes and relies on him very much. If he were here, the young master would probably feel a little better."

Zi Xiao hesitated for a moment before nodding gently: "Alright, alright."

In the main courtyard, Ye Qinghao stood under the eaves with his brows furrowed. The steward hurriedly walked in from outside, and Ye Qinghao's gaze fell on the steward.

The butler shook his head: "We have searched every part of the mansion, but we have not found any trace of the young lady."

Ye Qinghao frowned: "Have you searched every place?"

The butler suddenly raised his head, pondered for a moment, and then lowered his voice to say, "Except for the forbidden areas within the mansion."

Ye Qinghao's hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched and unclenched slightly before quickly relaxing: "Do you think she might have trespassed into the forbidden area?"

“But there is a barrier, an illusion, and even spirit beasts guarding the entrance to the forbidden area. Even a Saintly Realm cultivator would find it almost impossible to break in silently; it would inevitably alert us. Besides, the young lady's spiritual power is still weak.”

Ye Qinghao naturally knew this, but they had already searched other parts of the mansion. A living person couldn't just disappear without a trace.

"Let's go check out the forbidden area."

As Ye Qinghao spoke, he walked straight out of the courtyard, and the butler quickly followed behind him.

The forbidden area was located in a dilapidated courtyard in the mansion, rarely visited by anyone. The courtyard gate was tightly closed, but Ye Qinghao raised his hand, opened the gate directly, and walked in.

After entering the courtyard, Ye Qinghao walked straight to the base of the wall, as if he hadn't seen the wall at all. He didn't stop when he reached the base of the wall.

The wall seemed to twist, and then Ye Qinghao vanished from the spot.

No one saw a silver-white figure suddenly flash past in the grass in the yard, and then follow Ye Qinghao toward the wall.

But it crashed headfirst into the wall...

Then, footsteps sounded again, and Ye Qinghao and the butler came out from behind the wall once more.

"Is someone following me?"

The butler quickly examined the marks on the wall: "The only sign of impact at the base of the wall is a small patch of the barrier. Perhaps there are rats or something in the yard."

Ye Qinghao responded and quickly gathered his spiritual power to survey the surroundings.

However, no trace of anyone's presence was detected.

Ye Qinghao felt slightly relieved and then entered the barrier again...

A silvery-white shadow flashed by in the grass, and then Jiuxiao appeared in the Dreamland of Clouds.

"I just went out to investigate and went to the main courtyard. Guess what amazing thing I found?"

Ye Qing'an had her eyes closed and was cultivating. Although she heard Jiu Xiao's words, she did not interrupt her cultivation.

Fortunately, Jiu Xiao didn't necessarily need her to give a response. He simply said, "There is a forbidden area in the Ye residence. The steward reported to Ye Qinghao that they had searched the entire residence but couldn't find you. Ye Qinghao suspected that you had accidentally entered the forbidden area, so he took the steward with him to check it out."

"I followed them all the way there, but unfortunately the forbidden area was protected by a barrier, and I was unable to break in. I was almost discovered."

"What exactly is that forbidden area? What's inside? Ye Qinghao and the steward both seem very secretive and nervous. The steward said that the forbidden area has a barrier, an illusion, and is guarded by spirit beasts. What could possibly require such tight security?"

Ye Qing'an circulated his spiritual energy for one cycle before stopping and opening his eyes: "Forbidden area?"

Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered that Eleven had mentioned this matter to her before, but he had said that there was a secret room in the mansion where a madman was imprisoned...

I wonder if this forbidden area is the same place as the secret room where the madman was imprisoned.
