Intense pain writhed in Ji Fengyao's heart like blunt shears, causing her to experience emotional anguish she had never felt before.

Before, when she read those cheesy novels and TV dramas on Earth, watching the men and women in the stories live and die for love, she always thought it was just artistic exaggeration.

Now she realizes that love can truly cause unbearable pain.

She knew her master was angry;

She also wanted to stay by her master's side for life, never giving up an inch.

But she still hasn't collected even half of the ingredients for the antidote. This world is just too special; she might not be able to collect them all at all. She really has no other choice!

The panic and sorrow of being abandoned made her feel increasingly pained, and waves of dizziness washed over her. Finally, Ji Fengyao fainted in the palace while holding the letter written by Ji Fengming.

At this moment, he had originally promised Shang Xiye to stay and take care of the little female bandit;

The unreliable older brother of the little bandit girl, Ji Fengming, was dragging Hei Xiao away from Moke City, speeding away on his sword.

Black Owl's face grew increasingly grim.

At first, this guy said he felt depressed and wanted him to go for a walk with him;

But even after running for most of the night, he only got more and more energetic.

This isn't a stroll, this is practically a death throes!

"Fengming, this is the direction back to Cangzhou," Black Owl said, grabbing him in exasperation.

"I...I'm going back to Cangzhou," Ji Fengming said, realizing he couldn't hide it any longer, and finally admitted it.

Black Owl was furious, wanting nothing more than to punch him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it: "We promised Xiao Jiu we'd take care of Xiao Yao'er. Now that we're all gone, what will happen to Xiao Yao'er all alone in Jialuo Kingdom?"

"I already told her. I said we came out to relax with my brother-in-law and told her not to worry," Ji Fengming said confidently. "My own sister, how could I not care for her? Don't worry, I thought it all out before I came out. Besides, I can tell that my mother-in-law really loves Yao'er. Jun Shimi admires my brother-in-law so much, he definitely won't bully Yao'er."

Black Owl thought about it and realized that what Ji Fengming said was true. Although Zhao Qinglian had acted somewhat unethically in the matter of Wanqikafu, her affection for Xiaoyao was obvious to all.

With Xiao Yao'er in the Kingdom of Jialuo, at least there's no need to worry about her being bullied; since he's spoken to Xiao Yao'er, there shouldn't be any problems with her.

Seeing that Hei Xiao was tempted, Ji Fengming immediately put on a pitiful and aggrieved face, grabbed Hei Xiao's sleeve, and said, "Xiao Chen, I have no choice but to do this. You've seen it yourself. These past few days, that girl Kafu's eyes have practically grown on me. If I don't leave soon, once my brother-in-law has dealt with his affairs, that girl Kafu will really stick to me. I'm really scared."

Looking at his stupid and cowardly appearance, Hei Xiao was both annoyed and amused: "Even if you go back, Xiao Jiu will bring Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji back to Jialuo Kingdom to hold a wedding for Xiao Yao'er. As her older brother, how can you not come? What will you do then?"

"Someone has to stay in Cangzhou, right?" Ji Fengming said, feeling guilty but stubborn, shaking his head like a rattle drum: "Anyway, I will never come to Jialuo Kingdom again, not even if you kill me."

Black Owl lowered his eyes and glanced at the cuff of his sleeve that someone was holding.

Thinking about Wanqikafu's enthusiasm for Ji Fengming these past few days, he fell silent.

Ji Fengming secretly continued to fly forward on his sword, and he pretended not to notice.

After sneaking away for a while, Ji Fengming was sure that Hei Xiao wouldn't stop him. He was so happy that he wanted to turn around and grab Hei Xiao's arm and have some fun, but he was afraid of angering Hei Xiao and being chased back.
