At sunrise.

Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao left the borders of the Kingdom of Jialuo one after the other.

Ji Fengyao woke up groggily and saw Zhao Qinglian's worried and regretful face.

My mind was still reeling from the dizziness.

Ji Fengyao quickly focused her divine sense inward, and upon examining herself, she was shocked to find her mind reeling:

Above her soul, a wisp of colorful mist appeared and disappeared, swirling around her soul and growing denser, threatening to completely envelop it.

She has transmigrated through several lifetimes, and this colorful mist has appeared several times as well.

When the colorful mist completely enveloped her soul, it was the moment when her soul was completely separated from her host body, and she would begin another soul-transmigration journey!

The poison from the Time-Freezing Pill has taken effect ahead of schedule!

If it weren't for the internal vision of her divine sense, Ji Fengyao would have thought she was hallucinating.

How is that possible!

She has been in this world for less than two years; she clearly has almost three more years to live!

Is she about to leave this world, leave her master?

No, her master no longer wants her.

Shocked, Ji Fengyao felt an overwhelming surge of palpitations and throbbing pain in her heart once again. She saw the colorful mist on her soul moving more and more frequently in response to this throbbing pain.

She suddenly understood: it was because of the intense pain.

It was because it sensed her deep sorrow that the Time-Freezing Pill activated prematurely, intending to take her to a new world so that she could escape sadness and pain.

The Time-Freezing Pill has such an effect.

Is this a side effect, or just a coincidence?

"Extreme Fire!" Without an antidote, Ji Fengyao didn't know how to stop the colorful mist from spreading further, so she could only summon Extreme Fire to try.

The intense fire quickly enveloped Ji Fengyao's soul, the dark blue flames burning away the colorful mist that was trying to engulf the little bandit's soul.

Although the extreme fire could not completely melt the colorful mist, it did significantly slow its rapid spread, preventing it from devouring her soul so quickly.

However, this is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

Once the poison of the Time-Freezing Pill takes effect, unless there is an antidote, even the Extreme Fire cannot withstand it for long.

Moreover, the extreme fire counteracts the poison of the Time-Freezing Pill;

This means that she can no longer wield the extreme fire recklessly, nor can she continue to refine pills as she used to. Once she completely removes the extreme fire from her soul, the poison of the Time-Condensing Pill will launch a full-scale counterattack, and her soul will likely be immediately stripped from her body, sending her to another world!

Zhao Qinglian noticed that beneath Ji Fengyao's lightly closed phoenix eyes, her eyeballs were rapidly moving, and two glistening teardrops slid from the corners of her eyes.

She thought that Ji Fengyao was only upset because Shang Xiye had left in anger, and said with great guilt, "Fengyao, Mother... I'm sorry, Mother shouldn't have been so anxious."

Hearing Zhao Qinglian's gentle and remorseful voice, Ji Fengyao sniffed, first calmed herself down, opened her blurry, tearful eyes, and choked out, "Mother, I don't blame you. You were only doing it for the Prince's own good. It's just that the Prince has never liked being manipulated. He will understand you in the future."

“But you…” Zhao Qinglian looked at Ji Fengyao, feeling extremely distressed.

At first glance, the little girl looked as innocent and carefree as Kafk.

A child as cheerful as a pistachio.

I only spent a few days by her side, and now I'm a heartbroken person.

Perhaps she really doesn't deserve to be a mother: she couldn't protect her two sons, and now that she has such a good daughter-in-law, she can't protect her either.

"Yaoyao, Auntie!"

Just then, Wanqika Fu skipped and hopped in from outside.
