In the era of cataclysmic upheaval and devastation, although the land produced enough food for people to live off their savings, resources were not scarce at the beginning. Wealthy families and leisurely people would often bask in the rare afternoon sun during this time of cataclysmic upheaval and devastation.

Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy surged upwards, soaring straight into the sky, becoming so abundant and tangible that it caused a cataclysmic change in the world, a time when sunlight was a rare sight, perhaps only once every hundred years.

Having been in this world for almost half a year, Ji Xiaoxiao hadn't basked in the sun for nearly half that time. Her body felt moldy and smelly, making her quite uncomfortable. This afternoon, the weather was sunny and bright, so Ji Xiaoxiao brought out a chaise lounge to leisurely pass the time.

Warmth gradually spread throughout her body, but a scream and the smell of blood instantly plunged Ji Xiaoxiao into an icy hell. The cold air came from all directions, penetrating every crevice, while the warmth was powerless and defeated. Ji Xiaoxiao's limbs stiffened, and her heart pounded rapidly to provide warmth.

Liao Kongmin, that little devil, is in trouble.

Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and moved quickly, stirring up fallen leaves that fluttered and danced in the air.

Rushing to Liao Kongmin's bedroom, the first thing that caught my eye was Liao Kongmin's miserable state, covered in blood.

"Although there is a lot of blood, the injury is not serious."

Ji Xiaoxiao hid in the crowd, slowly taking a deep breath to calm her anxious and restless heart. The more dangerous the situation, the less she could afford to panic or lose her composure. Only a strong and unwavering heart could find a bright path forward amidst countless difficulties.

The person who kidnapped Liao Kongmin was a handsome young man I had met once before. He was the younger brother of Shen Lu, the third young lady of the Shen family who was an idiot, and Shen Fei, the fourth young master of the Shen family.

Shen Fei appeared deranged, yet he showed no signs of panic or terror at being caught and surrounded, despite his crimes being widely known. He calmly held the dagger, its sharp tip gently piercing Liao Kongmin's neck, tiny beads of blood seeping through the skin and seeping out little by little.

"Get out of my way, get out of my way! If you don't want this little bastard to die, get out of my way!"

Shen Fei's words were clear and logical, and his actions were highly purposeful. He injured Liao Kongmin's body but did not kill him. He threatened the Liao family guards not to approach, but did not stop them from informing the Liao family's masters. Judging from all this, Shen Fei must be planning something, and the core of the plan may be Liao Kongmin's biological father, Liao Yu.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't think much of it and focused all her attention on Shen Fei. Once Shen Fei showed an opening, it would be a matter of course for Ji Xiaoxiao to turn the tables and win easily.

Liao Kongmin's blood stained Shen Fei's expensive suit. Shen Fei frowned and shook her useless left hand.

Ji Xiaoxiao paused, concealed her aura, and completely blended into her surroundings.

Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon.

Just then, Shen Fei's right hand, which had been raised, shook violently. Shen Fei looked distressed and resentful, her thoughts momentarily shifting away from Liao Kongmin.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ji Xiaoxiao increased her speed to the maximum. A strange gust of wind swept by, and Liao Kongmin was tightly embraced by Ji Xiaoxiao.

The change happened extremely quickly, and Shen Fei looked down at her empty chest, completely bewildered.

Where are they? Where did they go?

Shen Fei looked up and happened to see the thief Ji Xiaoxiao and the bastard Liao Kongmin.

"You bastard, you gave me your bastard child!" Shen Fei said furiously.

Ji Xiaoxiao glanced coldly at Shen Fei, then flicked her finger, striking Shen Fei's knee. The finger flick was so powerful that with a crack, Shen Fei cried out in pain and knelt down.

"Ah... you slut, you slut, I'll make you find seven or eight pigs and fuck you to death."

Ji Xiaoxiao sneered, "Is this all there is to young masters from noble families?"

He scoffed, dismissed it, and his cold laugh was laced with mockery.

After all, this is Liao family territory, and Ji Xiaoxiao shouldn't interfere too much. Besides, Shen Fei's identity is not simple. Even the powerful Liao family keeps quiet about Shen Fei's assassination attempt on Liao Yu, remaining tight-lipped and silent. Ji Xiaoxiao shouldn't get involved in this mess.

Ji Xiaoxiao sighed and carried the still-shaken Liao Kongmin back to her room. With no outsiders present, Liao Kongmin regained his senses, his eyes focused, and he felt the familiar warmth of her body. Tears and screams came out at the same time.

"Sister, sister..." Liao Kongmin kept calling out to Ji Xiaoxiao.

Ji Xiaoxiao patted Liao Kongmin's back silently until he cried himself to sleep. However, Liao Kongmin slept very restlessly, his little body trembling from time to time.

After appeasing Liao Kongmin, Ji Xiaoxiao came out, her face dark as she closed the door.

At this moment, in the living room, Old Master Liao and Liao Yu were holding a joint trial of Shen Fei.

"Release me immediately, or when my great-grandfather emerges from seclusion, your Liao family will be wiped out." Shen Fei held his head high, unafraid of Old Master Liao's dark expression or Liao Yu's harsh words, fearless and indomitable.

"You've injured the eldest grandson of the Liao family. Even if your great-grandfather Chen Yun came out, he wouldn't be able to argue with you." Old Master Liao was heartbroken. He felt like he'd swallowed a whole box of lemons. He was really getting worse as he got older. When did he ever start trying to reason with people?

Shen Fei smiled lightly, her eyes revealing undisguised contempt.

Shen Fei is handsome and energetic. Every smile, every gesture, and every roguish charm he exudes perfectly embodies the character of a carefree young master from a wealthy family.

"Old man Liao, you've lived for so long, don't you know what use 'reason' is? It's useless. Don't you know that? Trying to talk nonsense about 'persuading people with reason' and 'arguing when there's no reason to argue' with my Shen family? Let's wait until one of your bunch of useless Liao family members has a cultivation level higher than my great-grandfather before we talk about it."

Shen Fei clearly understood that as long as his grandfather was the person with the highest cultivation level in the Hope Base, he would not have to fear anyone, not even the head of the Liao family or the next head of the Liao family.
