Shang Beiyu seemed to sense that the little bandit girl was not asleep.

A gentle smile appeared on his lips. He then unleashed a torrent of demonic energy, descended from the roof, and brazenly pushed open the door to enter the house.

Ji Fengyao quickly got up, jumped off the bed, and blocked the sleeping Bai Lu behind her.

Seeing the person who entered, their demonic energy surging like a raging inferno, their imposing aura like a mountain pressing down, alarm bells rang in Ji Fengyao's mind:

Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator!

It's that person! He actually came looking for me tonight!

"Senior, why did you take away my two younger brothers? What have I done to offend you?" Ji Fengyao tried her best to remain calm, still acting as innocent and lively as before, without any guile. "If I have offended you unintentionally, I am willing to apologize and make compensation. I hope that you will be lenient and release my two younger brothers. They are young and cannot withstand being frightened."

“You haven’t offended me,” Shang Beiyu continued to press forward.

Ji Fengyao instinctively backed away, her knees quickly reaching the edge of the bed.

Bai Lu was right behind her; she couldn't retreat any further!

Shang Beiyu approached the young female bandit with her back straight, the distance between them less than two inches.

The demonic energy emanating from him clashed with the spiritual power emanating from her, eroding and dissolving each other.

Although neither of them intended to compete in strength, Ji Fengyao already clearly knew from the contest of their auras that she was no match for them!

Shang Beiyu considerately toned down his aura slightly, reducing it to a level that was evenly matched with hers.

Looking down at her from such close range.

In the darkness, her facial features were somewhat blurred, yet they were all the more stunning and breathtaking.

Shang Beiyu couldn't help but lower his head slightly.

Ji Fengyao instinctively leaned back, turned her head, and said urgently, "Senior!"

Shang Beiyu caught a glimpse of the faintly gathering spiritual energy with a ghostly blue flame in her palm, and remembered how he had frightened her, instantly sobering up.

He reached out and hooked her back, leading her to the table inside the room, where he pressed her down into a chair.

Before she could make a move, he quickly stepped aside and sat down next to her.

"What, do you think I'm going to do anything to you?" He smiled slightly, meeting her eyes and finding her phoenix eyes truly beautiful.

“Although cultivators don’t have as many etiquette rules as laypeople, I am already a Daoist partner and should still be mindful of the proper separation between men and women. Please don’t take offense, senior.” Ji Fengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing the person in front of her, but for the sake of her two younger brothers, she could only endure it for the time being: “I wonder if senior has come so late at night because there is something important you wish to teach me? I am all ears.”

Upon hearing her utter the words "Daoist partner," Shang Beiyu's anger flared up instantly.

Shang Xiye, that lowly mortal!

Even if he was Mo Linxian in his past life, he is just a lowly mortal in this life. What kind of Daoist partner is he to her?

He and she were destined to be together!

Suddenly, a surge of demonic energy erupted from Shang Beiyu's body, like a black flame licking Ji Fengyao's body, causing her blood and qi to surge within her.

"Um!"

Ji Fengyao hurriedly mobilized her spiritual power to resist, but still suffered some minor injuries. Her phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously.

A demon is a demon, truly unpredictable!

Like her master, she can eat anything, but she can't stand being taken advantage of.

But a gentleman takes revenge even after a hundred years.

You just wait, when I grow up, I'll beat you until you kneel down and call me grandma!
