"Miss! Miss, are you alright? Don't scare me!" Xi Que held the limp Ji Fengyao and carefully wiped the bloodstains under her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, crying in fear.

Ji Fengyao breathed heavily, extremely weakly, and managed a pale smile as she comforted him, "Why are you crying? I'm just too tired, it's nothing. Give me two Rejuvenation Pills and put two spirit stones in my hand. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Xi Que quickly did as she was told, then hugged Ji Fengyao tightly and cried, "Miss, you're thinking of them so much. If they still feel resentful, then they're ungrateful and greedy. I don't want to associate with such people! They don't care about you, but I do. You are my life. I'll fight anyone who drags you down!"

"Don't think like that. We've agreed that we're all family. Family members can get angry and have disagreements, but we will never give up easily, understand?" Ji Fengyao smiled contentedly and warmly, struggling to raise her hand to wipe away Xique's tears.

Xi Que quickly rolled up her sleeves and wiped her face dry. She then took Ji Fengyao's hand and told her to lie down and rest quietly. She nodded and agreed, "I understand. I will listen to whatever Miss says. Even if I am unhappy, I will not let them see it. I know how to keep things to myself now."

"You are indeed much more composed than before, and I am very happy." Ji Fengyao's smile grew even brighter, and her gaze towards Xique softened even more.

The four of them, mistress and servants, were people who had weathered many storms together;

She was unwilling to give up on any of them;

Even if it takes all her strength, she will try to keep him.

I just hope she deserves it.

Even if it wasn't worth it, at least when she looks back in the future, she won't regret or blame herself for not trying her best.

Ji Fengyao was so exhausted this time that she didn't even get up to eat dinner.

It was only after Shang Xiye forcibly pulled her to lean against the headboard and personally fed her some food that she managed to eat a few bites.

Finally, after understanding the whole story, Shang Xiye half-held the little bandit in his arms and slowly channeled spiritual energy into her to ease her discomfort. He gently scolded her, "Those who are close to you must be able to withstand tests to be considered close to you. If they cannot withstand tests, even if you give them your heart, they will still not be satisfied. My little wife, you spoil them too much."

"Xi Que is straightforward, Bai Lu is simple-minded, and Lin Shuang is the only one who is calm and meticulous; moreover, she has always treated me with sincerity."

The misunderstanding is simply due to a lack of understanding of spiritual practice.

Once she embarks on her cultivation journey, she will understand just how difficult it truly is to be considered "lacking in natural talent."

Ji Fengyao nestled in Shang Xiye's arms and said softly, "She is seeking hope. As her close relatives, we should naturally help her, instead of being indifferent and ignoring her or even crushing her hope."

Shang Xiye's heart was melted by his wife's gentleness. He held her in his arms like a precious treasure, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "My wife is truly the best fairy in the world."

"I don't want to be a fairy or a white lotus. I'm a bandit who loves and hates things," Ji Fengyao pouted and giggled playfully.

Shang Xiye couldn't resist her charming and adorable appearance. He rolled over with her in his arms, pulled down the bed curtains, and spent a night in blissful intimacy.

On a rooftop not far away, a man shrouded in black robes clenched his fist and raised it angrily toward Ji Fengyao's bedroom.
