Mi Wei went to great lengths to pull Ji Fenghua back from the brink of death, thanks in large part to Mi Xi placing a few magic crystals in her hand.

Seeing the fangs sprouting from the void again, and Ji Fenghua appearing extremely dejected, Mi Wei finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you demons risk your lives like this to bewitch people? Do you know you almost died!"

"I..." I had just been using the "Gathering Spirit Technique" so habitually that it had almost become an instinct.

Ji Fenghua hesitated, then her eyes suddenly reddened as she thought about the fact that she was probably no longer a spiritual cultivator.

Although Mi Xi was good to him, she always called him a little devil.

Although Mi Wei was a good person, she always instinctively resisted and disliked him.

If two teenage girls are like this, one can only imagine how many adults in Tianque City are shouting for his life.

He is an anomaly in this world now, even if he has good intentions and has not committed any heinous crimes.

But in the end, he will implicate his father, mother, brother, sister, and brother-in-law!

“You…you’re crying…” Mi Wei saw tears welling up in Ji Fenghua’s eyes as she buried her face in the crook of her arms on her knees, and she panicked a little. “I didn’t scold you, why are you crying? You don’t need to go to so much trouble, I won’t kill you. I promised Xi’er that I would bring you back to the Hidden Sect safely, and I will definitely bring you back safe and sound. And I can guarantee that at least until you see Xi’er again, no one will take your life. My parents love Xi’er very much, at most they will just…lock you up.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Fenghua felt an even stronger longing for her family and the happy times she spent with so many friends in Vulture Village.

He was clearly a normal human being practicing spirituality, so why did he suddenly become like this?

He didn't want to be a monster that everyone hated; he wanted to be a normal human being again, even if it was just an ordinary human being!

Hearing Ji Fenghua cry even louder, Mi Wei was at her wit's end. She quickly stuffed two more magic crystals into Ji Fenghua's hand and said, "Alright, alright, these are all the magic crystals Xi'er gave me. You can have them all. Please stop crying, okay?"

"I don't want to! If I can't be a human being, then let me die. I don't want to drag others down with me." Ji Fenghua suddenly raised her head, fiercely throwing away the magic crystal in her hand. Her scarlet eyes were filled with tears, and four small sharp teeth protruded from her lips, making her look fierce yet adorable.

Mi Xi looked down at the magic crystal that had rolled to her feet, emitting wisps of black energy, and then at Ji Fenghua, whose face was deathly pale and who was clearly extremely weak. She was somewhat puzzled: "There is spiritual energy all around us, spiritual energy that can be fatal to you. Do you really want to die?"

"Maybe it would be better if I died," Ji Fenghua clenched her fists tightly and buried her face in her arms again.

The surrounding spiritual energy was corroding him and making him feel very uncomfortable.

As the remaining demonic energy within him was consumed, he felt his body and skin being decomposed and melted.

The burning pain emanated from the inside out, as if a huge furnace was burning inside my body.

Mi Wei couldn't see his face, but she could see black burn marks on the back of his clenched fists.

"Little devil, stop fooling around, you'll really die if you keep doing this!" Mi Wei didn't expect Ji Fenghua to be so eager to die. Ignoring the fact that the magic crystals would hurt her, she quickly picked up the magic crystals from the ground and forced them into Ji Fenghua's hand.

But Ji Fenghua was stuck in a rut. The more uncomfortable he felt, the more stubborn he became, and he refused to accept the magic crystal.
