of course.

The silk puppet is not without any flaws.

After all, it is classified as a "fate skill". Once the puppet is refined, it will become a part of him. Unless the puppet is destroyed, the connection with the five senses cannot be cut off.

Although the puppet supplies energy independently, it does not consume too much energy for Qin Muye.

But if you instill too much junk information, your mind will become a mess.

This is indeed a bit annoying, so we still need to control the number of puppets and only deliver them to key users.

but……

Qin Muye also discovered a very useful way to play.

He found that the paper puppet immediately made another paper puppet, so he went out directly, opened the window of Bai Yuji's room, confirmed that there was no one inside, then put away the two paper puppets and swaggered to the practice room.

This was Qin Kaijiang’s training room in the past, and now only Qin Muye can enter.

After entering the training room, Qin Muye glanced at the materials on the table. These were the materials he had purchased in the past few days by asking his paper puppet to wear a cloak. There were a lot of wood tendons in them, which, combined with a metal skeleton, could restore the human body structure to the greatest extent.

He released the paper puppet and lay down on a recliner to rest.

About half an hour later, two puppets with exposed bones and muscles were made. They looked at each other, then took a sword each, and without any hesitation, they rushed towards each other.

All that was used were the Qin family's knife and sword techniques.

Qin Muye watched the battle while drinking tea. After he donated his marrow, his realm did not drop and he could burst out the strength of the eighth level in a short period of time, but his endurance was extremely poor and he could not continue to practice at all.

But it's different with a puppet. The five senses are the same, and the puppet has a copy of your own thinking integrated into it, and the five senses are connected. The life-and-death fight between equals, plus watching the battle, participating from three perspectives, can increase the speed of combat awareness to an extremely exaggerated level.

Of course, the effect of practicing in this way will not affect the main body.

But as long as you add points to your physical strength, or at least retreat for a while, you can raise your combat condition to the peak in the fastest time.

By using this method to transition, I won't waste the time I spend with Bai Yuji.

"Sleepy!"

Qin Muye watched for a while, stretched and left the training room, leaving only two external puppets to assist in training to continue fighting inside.

……

Suburbs of Beijing.

Ghost city.

The pub was dimly lit.

A woman wearing a bamboo hat walked silently towards the counter.

"Boss, I want a pound of the best Qianzu wine."

"Not even a pound, only seven ounces."

"Seven ounces is not enough. I want half a pound."

"Then we can only add water."

"You can add water, just don't let people drink it."

"Then come with me to get the wine!"

The two looked at each other and walked towards the backyard one after the other.

Entering the back hall, the shopkeeper turned the incense burner, and a mysterious formation immediately appeared behind the Buddha statue.

The woman did not hesitate and stood directly where the light of the formation covered.

The next moment, the light and shadow distorted, and when it returned to normal, she had arrived at a temple.

See the woman appear.

Everyone in the temple knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Princess!"

Bai Yuji took off his bamboo hat and quickly helped the chief elder to stand up: "Please don't do this kind of ceremony, I am short of time, I will leave after a few words!"

Everyone then stood up.

The great elder He Xifeng asked curiously, "Princess, why did you urgently summon us here today?"

Bai Yuji flipped her palm and a box appeared out of thin air: "Inside are spirit stones and silver, about 11,000 taels."

"Princess, where did you get so much money?"

He Xifeng was startled and looked at the other elders. They saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Although there are many experts among the Nanzhao survivors, they dare not have any open industries for fear of being exposed, otherwise they will easily be traced and uprooted.

So the main thing about life is that we are poor.

It was not until he met Li Runyue, a financial sponsor, through the organization that his life became less difficult.

If it weren't for Li Runyue's financial resources, she wouldn't have been able to hold such a high position in the organization, causing Bai Yuji to be cheated once and have to choose to swallow her anger.

After being cheated once, they realized that they could no longer be constrained.

So these days they have been looking for new sources of income to accumulate capital to turn against Li Runyue.

But...how can money be made so easily?
As a result, the princess suddenly got back so much money. Bai Yuji said calmly: "Qin Muye auctioned off all the birthday gifts he received, and I got 10,000 taels."

"I see!"

He Xifeng suddenly realized that she had heard something about the birthday, and she also knew that Bai Yuji would take the opportunity to ask for money.

But selling birthday gifts is a bit risky, and there will definitely be a lot of people keeping an eye on Qin Muye.

I didn’t expect Qin Muye to do this, and gave so much to Bai Yuji.

She was somewhat impressed: "The princess is so smart that she managed to control that useless prince so well!"

"Ok?"

Bai Yuji was a little confused: "Submissive?"

He Xifeng nodded: "I was worried before that the useless prince would change his temperament and would use his life as a weapon to make things difficult for you, princess! I didn't expect that he would cooperate so well and give me so much money. How did you do it, princess?"

Bai Yuji was silent for a while: "I asked him for it, and he gave it to me. He didn't use any tricks."

"what?"

He Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and the elders looked at each other.

Bai Yuji thought about it and it seemed a little strange. Ten thousand taels was not a small amount. If Qin Muye didn't want to give it, he could simply refuse on the grounds that selling birthday gifts would affect his reputation.

But he was not at all slow in giving the money.

Why is this?
While she was thinking.

The clever Second Elder had already figured out the answer: "Maybe that useless prince has fallen in love with the princess?"

Bai Yuji's expression tightened: "There is absolutely no such possibility."

The second elder smiled and asked, "How is it impossible? The princess is kind-hearted, beautiful, and graceful. Which man would not be attracted to her?"

Bai Yuji rubbed his temples: "In his eyes, I am just a kidnapper. How can I be kind-hearted? Qin Muye has a tragic life. It is not easy for him to trust others. We must not take it lightly, otherwise we will suffer."

He Xifeng nodded: "Princess, you are right. Don't underestimate others."

Bai Yuji nodded slightly: "Anything else?"

He Xifeng hurriedly said, "Princess, you have to prepare well for the Qian Kingdom's imperial examination for all races at the end of this year."

"Imperial Examination of All Races?"

Bai Yuji frowned slightly. Ever since all the monsters came to pay homage, the imperial examination had become a grand event for the foreign monsters.

Once every three years, some official positions would be released to the demon tribes who pledged allegiance.

She was a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with us?"

He Xifeng said meaningfully, "The war was quite intense in the past few years, and the surrounding countries were a little overwhelmed. I heard that they all wanted to negotiate, and the monsters that were allied with the Qian Kingdom also came to ask for annual tribute. This time, the imperial examination of all races should be very lively."

Bai Yuji's eyes lit up: "Great Elder, do you mean that this is a good time to form an alliance?"

He Xifeng nodded, agreeing with this statement.

The reason why the Qian Kingdom was able to revive was that it formulated a national policy of winning over some and fighting others. Until now, the surrounding small countries can no longer bear the burden, but only a few are willing to surrender. Even if they come to Beijing in the name of peace talks this time, it is nothing more than a diplomatic negotiation.

Before, the remnants of Nanzhao had a hard time surviving. Not only did they have no money, but they had also lost their country. They didn’t even have the qualifications to extend an olive branch. But now it’s different.

He Xifeng said in a deep voice: "Princess! If we can achieve success this time, we may be able to avenge our country's destruction, or even restore it. I have some opinions, but I don't know if I should share them!"

Bai Yuji said quickly: "Grand Elder, please feel free to speak!"

He Xifeng took a deep breath and said, "I think that if we want to succeed this time, we should make the best use of Qin Muye and the entire Qin family."

Bai Yuji: "..."

……

On the way back to Zhennan Prefecture, Bai Yuji's thoughts were a little confused.

Why was Qin Muye so proactive in giving money?
Is it because his father destroyed Nanzhao that he feels guilty about himself?
Or... is he really attracted to me?

No reason.

She thought of the scene in the afternoon.

Qin Muye was helpless at that time and asked himself: "Bai Yuji, can I hug you?"

This……

The more aggressive a person is, the more vulnerable he is.

So, do they really want to squeeze out all the value of him and even the Qin Mansion as the Great Elder said?

While thinking about this, Bai Yuji quietly returned to her bedroom, but she didn't expect that as soon as she jumped out of the back window, she saw a person sitting at the table.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"I’m waiting for you!"

"..."
