Cao Jinchang shuddered again in fright: Oh ho, these beasts can actually understand human speech!

So, they were chasing him not because they wanted to eat the leaves, but because he had insulted them?

This world is truly surreal!

"My dear daughter, I never imagined you had the ability to control beasts. It's a pity you married so young, otherwise..."

Before Cao Jinchang could finish speaking, Ji Fengyao winked at him playfully, looking charming: "Uncle Cao, if you keep talking nonsense and my prince hears you, I won't be able to save you!"

Cao Jinchang was taken aback: "Which prince?"

"My brother-in-law is the God of War of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the Ninth Prince," Ji Fengming said proudly.

The Ninth Prince?!

Holy crap, it's that fiend?!

Cao Jinchang was utterly shocked, yet somewhat incredulous: "Didn't the Ninth Prince go to fight in the Di Kingdom? Most of the martial arts world went to the Di Kingdom, and he's actually here!"

At this moment, Cao Xiaosi finally caught up.

He still harbored a sliver of hope for Ji Fengyao, but upon hearing their conversation, that last hope was shattered.

Although the Ninth Prince of Dazhao was a member of the imperial court, he was rumored to be a peerless martial artist, extremely brave and renowned in the martial arts world.

Therefore, the bounty offered by Ji Cunbai has caused such a sensation.

Many people attempted to assassinate the Ninth Prince not simply for the reward of ten million taels of gold, but also to make a name for themselves.

Although Cao Xiaosi was arrogant, he believed he was still inferior to the Nine Princes of Da Zhao.

Cao Jinchang quickly regained his senses and briefly explained the situation outside to Ji Fengyao, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao.

Ji Fengyao, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao brought Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi to Ji Chenhai and Shang Xiye. After discussing it, they decided to let the Cao family father and son stay for the time being.

But the matter of Ling Mine is of great importance, and just because they are reliable and don't talk about it doesn't mean it's safe.

Ji Fengyao suggested placing a restriction on their souls so that they could not actively reveal any information about the spirit mine, and others would not be able to search their souls, otherwise their souls would immediately self-destruct.

Ji Chenhai said, "Since you're going to place such restrictions, then place them all."

In the end.

Ji Chenhai emphasized the importance of the spirit mine, the severity of the soul restriction, and Cao Jinchang's statement.

Cao Jinchang was also dumbfounded, and stammered, "My dear in-law, I didn't expect that the important matter you mentioned would be so important. If I had known, I would never have come even if I had died outside."

Anyway, Xiao Si and I don't understand any of this talk about cultivation or restrictions. But since we're all putting this restriction on together, Xiao Si and I have no reason to disagree, so let's do it!

“Alright, let’s all go together. With this, we won’t have so many reservations about our interactions in the future,” Ji Chenhai said, patting Cao Jinchang on the shoulder.

After Ji Fengyao finished imposing the restrictions on everyone, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi followed Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye into the spirit mine.

They were genuinely curious: why would the mighty God of War of the Great Zhao Dynasty abandon the war and come here to mine? What kind of wonderful thing was this spirit ore?

The entrance to the mine was not widened.

When Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi saw that all the mutated beasts and monsters had gone inside, they assumed that the air inside must be very polluted.

Unexpectedly, after entering, I felt refreshed and invigorated, as if I were soaking in a cool spring. Every pore on my body opened up, which was even more refreshing than taking a bath in a spring.
