"My daughter was kidnapped... I can't find her." Shen Yuan choked for a while, and then continued, "I don't want to hurt others even if my soul is torn apart, but my daughter..."
Li Yunshu frowned slightly.
"Who kidnapped your daughter? Why didn't you report it to Jingzhao Yinfu?"
Shen Yuan shook her head.
"I don't know them and I don't know where they are now."
Shen Yuan suddenly pounced in front of Li Yunshu and grabbed his legs.
"I can't disappear from this world, please take me in."
Li Yunshu didn't say anything else. He shook the soul flag in his hand and took Shen Yuan in.
He didn't want to meddle in the affairs of a ghost he had just met and help it find its daughter.
Putting it into the Soul Banner is already the greatest help I can give it.
At this moment, a Qiankun bag fell to the ground.
Li Yunshu then remembered that there was a Qiankun bag hanging around Shen Yuan's waist.
The Soul Banner can only hold spirits, so things like the Qiankun Bag cannot be put in it.
After entering the Soul Banner and being branded, he became Shen Yuan's master.
This Qiankun bag should belong to him.
Chen Hong teased.
"I think your soul flag is almost becoming a shelter for young women."
Li Yunshu said calmly.
"Her butt is bigger than yours."
Chen Hong's anger soared as her figure was once again criticized.
"Li Yunshu, I'm going to fight you!"
Li Yunshu snapped his fingers and Chen Hong was sucked into the soul flag.
With a snap, the brocade box in her arms fell to the ground.
The hall returned to peace. Li Yunshu did not open the brocade box, but directly put it into the ring.
Then, he picked up the Qiankun bag and checked it. There was no restriction and it was easily opened.
There were only a few pieces of loose silver, a small rattle, and a map inside.
Li Yunshu first took out the rattle and gently turned it twice with his fingers. This should be the toy of Shen Yuan’s daughter.
Putting away the rattle, he took out the map.
When he opened it, an icon on it instantly caught Li Yunshu's attention.
This is a map of a place called the Hidden Forest in Western Zhou, on which icons are marked to show the powerful monsters that exist in the forest.
Next to the icon, the type of monster and its strength are also noted.
One of the icons is a three-legged toad.
On the side was a note: the three-legged golden toad with ten thousand years of Taoist practice.
Li Yunshu's breathing became a little rapid, and the words of the empress were still ringing in his ears.
"I am still short of a medicinal ingredient for refining the elixir. I appoint you, the three-legged golden toad with ten thousand years of practice, as my imperial envoy to find it for me."
The three-legged golden toad that the empress was looking for was found.
Once upon a time, he thought that there was no such thing in the world.
Unexpectedly, it actually exists.
Li Yunshu looked at the location of the three-legged golden toad on the map, which was relatively close to the periphery of the Hide-and-Seek Forest.
Moreover, there are no other more powerful monsters around.
Among the soul flags, there is the red-clothed resentful spirit, which is enough to deal with the three-legged golden toad that has been practicing Taoism for ten thousand years.
Li Yunshu picked up the soul flag again, and Shen Yuan stepped out.
But in such a short period of time, her spirit body did not recover much.
Her spirit was branded, and she always felt that there was a little more connection between her and the handsome young man in front of her.
Oh, by the way, his name is Li Yunshu.
Li Yunshu raised the map in his hand and asked straight to the point.
"Where did you get this map?"
Shen Yuan glanced at the map and her hands clenched unconsciously.
"I, I absorbed the pure yang energy of a cultivator before, and I got this thing from him."
"Where is that practitioner?"
"He is—dead."
Li Yunshu's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Since the map was in Shen Yuan's possession, the owner of the map must be dead.
He glanced at the ring in his hand and did not hesitate.
He took Shen Yuan back into the soul flag and then walked out quickly.
……
Honglu Temple.
Sully leaned lazily in his chair.
"Da Chu has agreed to exchange Shichuan for Beihai Stone."
The old man at the side spoke.
“I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.”
Sully picked up a peach from the table and took a bite.
"How's it going on your end?"
"Li Yunshu should have obtained the map by now, but I don't know if he will take the bait."
Sully stood up, walked outside, looked at the blue sky, and said calmly.
"I bet he'll go."
The old man followed him out.
"We can return to Beijing to report now."
……
Fenglin Palace.
Pei Xuanji was leaning on the couch, reading the memorials.
Shangguan Shuangyue stepped in, walked up to her side and bowed.
"Your Majesty, Li Yunshu requests to see you."
Pei Xuanji threw the memorial aside.
"Let him in."
After a while, Li Yunshu walked into the hall under the guidance of Shangguan Shuangyue.
"See Your Majesty."
The empress raised her eyes slightly and leaned on the couch without moving.
"what's up?"
Li Yunshu said respectfully.
"I have found clues to the three-legged golden toad."
Pei Xuanji blinked and looked at Li Yunshu as if he were an idiot.
"There is no such thing in this world."
She originally asked this guy to find the three-legged golden toad just to give him the status of an imperial envoy.
"Hmm?" Li Yunshu looked up in confusion, "But I really found the clue of the three-legged golden toad."
Pei Xuanji's voice was slightly cold.
"Are you questioning me?"
Li Yunshu looked directly into the empress's eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you dare to bet?"
"Oh?" Pei Xuanji sat up, "What do you want to bet on?"
"If I can find the three-legged golden toad with ten thousand years of practice, Your Majesty will agree to one of my requests."
"What if you can't find it?"
Li Yunshu looked down at the empress's jade feet and said resolutely.
"If I don't find it, I will lick your Majesty's feet!"
Chapter 31: Empress: Something is wrong with you [Two chapters in one]
Upon hearing Li Yunshu's bet, the empress looked a little unnatural, and her toes subconsciously curled up.
Such a big bet?
At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt whether the three-legged golden toad really existed.
Although she had some doubts in her heart, she had just sworn that there was no such thing in the world. If she changed her words now, wouldn't it show her ignorance?
"What do you want me to agree to?"
