Chapter 221 Noble Lady from a Clan VS Humble Remnant Slave 23

"Impossible! You're dreaming! Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" Jiang Zhiyi grabbed something nearby and threw it at him.

Jiang Qi dodged to the side, but he wasn't annoyed. He used his spiritual power to bind her completely.

"Let me go! You bastard!" Jiang Zhiyi cursed him fiercely, "Jiang Qi is just..."

Jiang Qi pressed the sharp blade against her lips, saying, "If you curse me again, I'll cut off your tongue so you can never speak again."

Jiang Zhiyi glared at him fiercely, and then... obediently kept her mouth tightly shut.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so she decided to let it go for the time being.

After a while, seeing that she had finally calmed down, Jiang Qi also withdrew his spiritual power.

Jiang Zhiyi's expression was serious. She tried to reconcile with him, saying, "What happened back then... I can make it up to you. Just tell me what you want, and I'll give you anything I have. Please let me go, okay?"

"Compensation?" Jiang Qi smiled sarcastically.

If he hadn't been lucky, he would most likely be dead by now, lying at the bottom of that cliff, slowly rotting and stinking...

She spoke so casually, as if his death was nothing serious.

"I will never be your slave!" Jiang Zhiyi's attitude was very firm. "My father will find me soon, and he will definitely kill you then."

"So what? Before that, I'll kill you first, so I won't lose out." Jiang Qi waved his hand, and all the candles in the dark prison lit up.

Jiang Zhiyi tilted her head and looked around.

So many monstrous beasts were imprisoned here, each one terrifying. Some were covered in blood, some were tearing at raw flesh with their gaping maws, and others, probably staring intently at her, were probably ravenously hungry...

Jiang Zhiyi frowned. She also smelled a strong, fishy stench that was both pungent and nauseating. She couldn't help but lean against the wall and dry heave.

When she finally calmed down, her whole face was red, and her eyes were filled with tears that she couldn't control.

"Do you want them to eat your legs or your hands first? After they're done, I'll find some worms to slowly gnaw on your head, covering your face completely... Then you'll become a monster, neither human nor ghost, chained up and locked in a cage. Do you think they'll still recognize you then?"

Jiang Qi had followed her for so long, so he naturally knew very well what she feared most.

"Stop talking!" Jiang Zhiyi cried even harder, her eyes filled with fear.

For a moment, the dark cell was filled with her sobs.

Jiang Qi watched her cry the whole time.

He glanced at her red and swollen eyes, then turned and walked straight out of the cell. "If you don't want to die, then follow me."

Jiang Zhiyi wiped her tears with her sleeve and then followed him out.

Rather than being fed monsters and insects in the dark dungeon, she should leave with him first.

She is flexible, unconcerned with trivialities, and doesn't argue with people like Jiang Qi.

She followed him to an extremely magnificent palace.

Jiang Zhiyi looked around curiously; this place was somewhat similar to her palace.

Although it wasn't exactly the same, many of the layouts and decorations gave her a very familiar feeling.

“I’m hungry,” Jiang Zhiyi suddenly said.

Worried that he wouldn't let her eat, she quickly added, "I'm starving. I don't have the strength to do anything you ask me to do."

Jiang Qi called in the guards outside, "Go and get her two steamed buns."

"I won't eat steamed buns!" Jiang Zhiyi protested loudly.

"If you don't want to eat, then go hungry," Jiang Qi said coldly.

Jiang Zhiyi started crying again. She felt that she had shed more tears today than in the entire previous year.

"I don't want to eat steamed buns... My stomach hurts so much right now, I just threw up. When you were with me at the Floating Cloud Sect, I always fed you the best food... Have you ever gone hungry?"

Jiang Qi paused for a moment, then changed his mind.

Jiang Zhiyi finally stopped crying with satisfaction, and then she was about to go out with the guards.

Jiang Qi stopped her, "You stay here. Don't even think about trying to escape. There are traps and monsters everywhere outside. If something happens and you break an arm or a leg, don't blame me."

"Oh," she replied curtly.

The palace fell silent again, the atmosphere somewhat eerie, and neither of them spoke.

"From now on, you will stay here and do whatever work a slave is supposed to do," Jiang Qi said, breaking the silence.

Jiang Zhiyi blinked, looking puzzled, and asked him, "So what should a slave do? I've never been a slave before, I don't know how to do it. You're so experienced, you're already used to it, can you teach me?"

Jiang Qi squinted at her; he could tell she was deliberately mocking him.

Jiang Zhiyi felt a little intimidated by his gaze. She mustered her courage and said, "That's right! Is there anything wrong with what I said? Don't judge me by my own standards. I didn't mean anything by it."

"If you say that again, you're not eating anything." Jiang Qi didn't want to argue with her.

Jiang Zhiyi pursed her lips and continued to observe her surroundings, her eyes darting around.

A spirit sword hung in the air not far in front of her, its body engulfed in blazing blue flames, with sparks occasionally leaping out.

This sword is clearly a rare and precious magical weapon.

Jiang Zhiyi has always been interested in spirit swords, and she couldn't help but move closer to take a closer look.

It's true what they say, fortunes change, and now she's even envying Jiang Qi's baby.

However, before she could get close, a sharp sword aura rushed straight towards her.

She was moving so fast that she had no time to dodge.

At this moment, another surge of spiritual energy burst forth from behind her, colliding with the sword energy in mid-air.

She was then pulled aside by Jiang Qi. Because she lost her balance, her head hit his chest hard.

"What are you touching?" Jiang Qi asked, frowning.

“I didn’t touch it…” Jiang Zhiyi pushed him away and immediately stood far away from him.

Why are you being so fierce? She didn't even try to steal his spirit sword. You're really being stingy.

Jiang Qi looked her up and down to make sure she wasn't injured by the sword energy. "Don't touch anything in the palace casually in the future."

He found this sword in a deep pool below the cliff; it was incredibly powerful. If one were injured by its aura, they would most likely lose their life.

He hasn't completely mastered the sword yet, which is why he placed it in such a prominent position so that he can study it more easily.

Jiang Zhiyi ignored him.

Jiang Qi used magic to put away the spirit sword and placed it in the far corner of the palace.

Before long, the guards brought in the food.

Jiang Zhiyi sat down directly at the table; she was indeed very hungry. Looking at the simple four dishes and soup in front of her, she could barely manage to eat.

Seeing this, Jiang Qi sat down beside her, but he immediately grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhiyi asked impatiently.

Can't people just have a proper meal?

Jiang Qi said expressionlessly, "I didn't eat either."

Jiang Zhiyi stared at him, suppressing her anger. "So what? I didn't stop you from eating."

“Feed me,” he said.
