Shang Xiye was a light sleeper, and when he heard Ji Fengyao's uneasy groans, he groggily opened his eyes.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw a flash of light pass before his eyes.

At the same time, a surge of scalding heat spread from between his eyebrows to his limbs and bones;

A pale face in a dying state flashed through Shang Xiye's mind.

A sharp, piercing voice suddenly exploded in his mind: "If you break this oath, may you be struck down by heaven and earth, and be annihilated by the very laws of the universe!"

Heavenly annihilation!

Bombard! Bombard!

Shang Xiye suddenly woke up with a start, his back covered in cold sweat, and he instinctively tightened his grip on the little bandit's arm.

He looked around intently, but there was no one there. The guards were all standing watch outside the courtyard and did not approach.

So, is this a nightmare for him?

At this moment, the little bandit snuggled against him and murmured sweetly in her sleep, "Master..."

Upon hearing her voice, Shang Xiye's inexplicably bewildered heart finally calmed down. He lowered his head and kissed the hair on her forehead, whispering with extreme displeasure, "That damned old immortal better be a decrepit old man, otherwise, I'll beat him up sooner or later, hmph!"

The next day, Ji Fengyao didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

Fortunately, the prince was even more "incompetent" than her; he only slowly opened his eyes after she had already gotten up.

Recalling the embarrassing scenes of last night, Ji Fengyao pretended to be calm.

To save face, she forced a roguish smile that seemed to say, "I'll do whatever I want to you," and greeted him, "Hi, my little husband, good morning." Then, she took out the jade box containing the bracelet from beside her pillow and shamelessly acted generous: "You did a good job last night, this is a reward for you."

Shang Xiye, who had been awake for who knows how many hours, was speechless.

This little thing dares to tease him like that!

Ji Fengyao was charmed by his bewildered look and wanted to show off her gift. She opened the jade box herself, took out the bracelet, and put it on his left hand: "Don't think it's too feminine. It's the most suitable accessory for you in the world, without a doubt. I spent a lot of effort carving each bead into it."

The ice crystal bracelet is crystal clear and exquisitely crafted.

Shang Xiye's hands were plump and of moderate thickness, with long, slender fingers and fair skin;

He looked absolutely stunning wearing the bracelet; it suited him perfectly.

Although it was somewhat effeminate, Shang Xiye felt a sense of familiarity and delight at first sight. He stood up, pulled the little bandit into his arms, and gently kissed her forehead, saying, "Yaoyao, thank you, I like it very much."

Ji Fengyao's face flushed and she felt a little embarrassed when she suddenly felt a slight coolness on her right wrist.

Looking down, she saw Shang Xiye putting a dark blue bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet is entirely black, with layers of white jade forming cloud patterns, simple yet elegant.

Ji Fengyao was utterly shocked: This is...

This is the design of the bracelet that her master gave her when she came of age in her first life!

"This is for you. I originally thought about making it look better, but I think it's better to keep it a little hidden." Shang Xiye raised his hand and pinched the little bandit's fair and tender little bun face, and said softly, "I don't want others to pay attention to you because of these things."

As soon as Shang Xiye finished speaking, Ji Fengyao recalled her master's words from that day:

"My little darling is already eye-catching enough, let's not let her be coveted by other things!"

Look, their words are so similar.

Ji Fengyao turned around and knelt up, cupping his face, which was all too familiar to her, in her hands. She was so excited that she could hardly speak: "You are... have you... forgotten, or... who are you?"
