As expected, there is still a big gap between a Spirit Master and a Spirit General. Ji Fengyan is still a two-star Spirit General, but that's already very good, considering she was also severely injured.

Yingyue, who was hiding in the shadows, had seen everything that happened that day. He had been fully prepared for Ji Fengyan's palm strike, but he held back because he remembered his master's words.

Unexpectedly, he was given a big surprise. The rumored good-for-nothing eldest daughter of the Ji family was not good-for-nothing at all. He was so surprised that he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

The master even asked him to protect her in secret, but with her intelligence, she didn't need his protection at all.

Ji Fengyan glared coldly at Ji Jiuying, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes, no longer concealing her hatred. "Damn it."

Grit your teeth and lift your left hand to your lips, silently reciting a few incantations.

A tiger, as tall as an adult and covered in ice spikes, appeared beside Ji Fengyan.

The tiger had dazzling icy wings and sharp claws, its amber blue pupils fixed on Ji Jiuying, its menacing fangs seemingly ready to tear her apart.

Ji Fengyan's contracted beast is a level 5 Xuanbing Tiger.

Ji Jiuying looked at the Xuanbing Tiger; this was the first time she had ever seen a real spirit beast since she came to this world.

Indeed, it's very special!

Not only can it fight, but it can also be used as a mount. It seems that she should go to the Monster Forest to contract one when she has time.

"Xuanbinghu, kill that bitch!" Ji Fengyan's face was now covered with a ferocious smile.

It's as if I can already see the scene of Xuanbinghu tearing Ji Jiuying to pieces.

With a deafening roar, the Xuanbing Tiger leaped forward and charged toward Ji Jiuying at incredible speed, its momentum suggesting it wanted to smash Ji Jiuying to pieces with a single paw.

Hmph~ So what if you've changed, Ji Jiuying?

"I can't change the fact that I'm the one who will die," Ji Fengyan said, clutching her right arm and laughing.

Ji Jiuying lightly touched the steps with her feet, using the momentum to leap over the Xuanbing Tiger's head. After a few leaps, she took out a dagger from her spatial storage and slashed it fiercely at the Xuanbing Tiger's head.

Caught off guard, the Frost Tiger roared, nearly piercing the eardrums of everyone present, sending waves of pain through their heads.

It turned around at lightning speed, its claws leaving a trail of afterimages. With a muffled groan, Ji Jiuying was sent flying backward, crashing directly into the pear tree behind her, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Jiuying glanced around. The blow Xuanbinghu had just delivered was definitely more than just spitting out blood. Who was helping her just now?

Without a second thought, Ji Jiuying grabbed a handful of Rejuvenation Pills and stuffed them into her mouth. With a sharp cry, her eyes turned icy, filled with a chilling and ruthless murderous aura.

"The Divine Art of Heavenly Control, from the beginning of chaos, from the primordial beginning, all things originated from me..." An invisible force spread out like ripples on water, and a strong current of air slashed straight towards the Xuanbing Tiger.

"Awooo~" The unwilling roar came from the Xuanbing Tiger.

"No~ My Xuanbing Tiger~!" Ignoring the pain in her right arm, Ji Fengyan rushed to the side of the Xuanbing Tiger, which had already collapsed. Looking at the dying Xuanbing Tiger, she felt extremely distressed.

Ji Jiuying also collapsed to the ground, feeling as if a giant dragon was inside her body, with spiritual energy surging continuously within her. Each surge was like a turbulent wave, nourishing every meridian of her body.

Now she only felt her body swell up intensely.

Ji Jiuying frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt.

Perhaps I overexerted myself just now?

Ji Fengyan's eyes were bloodshot, and she trembled with anger and grief. She pointed at Ji Jiuying and said, "Ji Jiuying, you witch."

"Ji Fengyan, it's just the death of a mere level five spirit beast, and you can't even handle it? I thought you had no heart!" Ji Jiuying scoffed, her thin lips curving into a mocking smile.

"I never thought you would feel sorry for me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyan's face turned purple with anger. She was so furious that her teeth were grinding together.

What is this woman saying?

What do you mean by "it's just the death of a mere level 5 spirit beast"?

That's all?

Does she know how difficult it is to contract a level 5 spirit beast?

Ji Jiuying actually dared to say that.

I'm so angry I feel like my lungs are going to explode!

"Ji Jiuying, I'm going to kill you!" Ji Fengyan had only one thought in her mind: to kill the calm and collected woman in front of her.

"Who will kill whom is still uncertain!" Ji Jiuying's lips curled into a cold smile, as vibrant as a poppy in full bloom.

Ji Fengyan's heart sank. Her right hand had been broken, and her beloved Xuanbing Tiger had been killed. Just how much had this woman changed? If the Third Prince knew that this seemingly useless person was no longer useless, then what would he do...?

No, he absolutely cannot know.

What you fear most is exactly what happens.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and a richly dressed man slowly walked in.

The man in the lead looked to be around seventeen years old. He wore a dark satin robe, his tall and slender body stood straight, and his handsome appearance exuded an innate nobility that made him seem unapproachable.

This man is none other than Ji Jiuying's fiancé, Jun Linyu.

Ji Fengyan hurriedly adjusted her veil, determined not to let the Third Prince see her current appearance.

Turning around, her face was adorned with an innocent, pure smile, and her voice became gentle and charming, the previous ruthlessness completely vanished.

"Yan'er greets the Third Prince."

"This humble woman, Ji Jiuying, greets the Third Prince."

Jun Linyu was stunned when he stepped into the courtyard. The courtyard was messy, with obvious signs of a fight. Ji Fengyan and Ji Jiuying were both injured, and there was also a dead spirit beast in the middle, which turned out to be Yan'er's Xuanbing Tiger.

Could it be...?

"Your Highness~~" Ji Fengyan's sweet voice came from behind.

Jun Linyu snapped out of his daze and ran to Ji Fengyan's side. "Yan'er, what happened? How did you hurt your hand?"

After saying that, he took out the Rejuvenation Pill and gave it to Ji Fengyan to swallow.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Fengyan's smug gaze drifted towards Ji Jiuying.

“Yan’er, there’s no need for further words.” Jun Linyu patted her back to comfort her. “Fenji, invite the Ghost Doctor to the Ji residence.”

If the Ghost Doctor could treat her arm, the poison on her face would surely be no problem either. Ji Fengyan was delighted just thinking about it.

"Your Highness, yesterday my sister was punished by my grandmother and confined to her quarters for a month. I was afraid she would be bored by herself, so I came to keep her company. I never expected that she would take her anger out on me for not speaking up for her yesterday, and she even went crazy and hit me."

Originally, I didn't want to argue with her, since the whole thing started because of me. But who knew that my sister had learned some kind of sorcery and tried to kill me. Xuanbing Tiger tried to protect me..." Ji Fengyan cried aggrievedly as she spoke.

Jun Linyu held Ji Fengyan's hand tenderly, "Yan'er, you are always so kind."

Jun Linyu glanced in Ji Jiuying's direction, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Ji Jiuying today was somewhat different from how he usually saw her. She wore a plain white dress, her eyebrows and eyes were like snow, her temperament was aloof, and she stood there with her hands in her sleeves, unlike her usual posture of bowing her head. Such a beauty, if she weren't a useless person…
