Chapter 225 A Young Lady from a Noble Family VS A Humble Remnant Slave 27
The two were in a bustling restaurant in the mortal realm.
Because she was finally out, Jiang Zhiyi's mood visibly improved. She had a smile on her face the whole time, and even ate a few more bites of food.
Jiang Qi sat beside her and served her food.
He turned his head to look at her—she was like a little hamster, her mouth moving as she ate with relish, occasionally turning her head to look at him.
"Why aren't you eating?" Jiang Zhiyi asked casually, noticing that he hadn't touched his chopsticks much.
"I'm not hungry." He wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth. "I heard the wine in this restaurant is very good. Let's take two jugs back later."
"Okay." Jiang Zhiyi nodded.
However, she remembered that he never liked drinking, so she never expected him to offer to buy alcohol. She figured it must be a very good drink.
Jiang Zhiyi hasn't run away yet. Firstly, Jiang Qi is keeping a close watch on her, and secondly, her spiritual power is still locked, so now is not a good time to leave.
Once Jiang Qi lowers his guard in a few days, she can start preparing to leave.
After dinner, the two went to the theater to watch a play.
"You sabotaged things here last time, setting up a trap to get me arrested and taken back." Jiang Zhiyi suddenly remembered this incident and was about to settle accounts with him.
Jiang Qi said calmly, "You were tricked out of this by a mere script. Who else can you blame for this?"
"You're not allowed to say that!" Jiang Zhiyi said, somewhat exasperated, throwing a handful of sunflower seed shells at him.
Jiang Qi was dressed in a blue robe today. He was tall and upright, with a gentle and refined temperament. Combined with this robe, he really looked like a noble young master.
It must be said that his appearance is indeed impeccable.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Qi calmly swept all his belongings off his body with his hands.
Jiang Zhiyi even praised him today, "I'm looking at you. Jiang Qi, you're so handsome..."
She then showered her with compliments.
Jiang Qi was clearly pleased by her words, and he looked much happier.
"By the way, what about that little beggar from back then? Who was he?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.
Jiang Qi didn't say much to her, "He's a spy here."
"You've planted so many spies around here? So is this your territory?" Jiang Zhiyi asked seemingly casually.
Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "It's just him."
Jiang Zhiyi: "Is he here? Can we ask him to show us the way later?"
Jiang Qi: "He's not here right now; he has other things to do."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Zhiyi nodded casually, then continued watching the show.
...
By evening.
The two went to an elegant residence in the south of the city, a courtyard that Jiang Qi had specially bought.
Jiang Zhiyi pouted and said, "When can you remove the spiritual power from my body? I haven't used my spiritual power for so long, I'm almost becoming a cripple. This is not good, otherwise the cultivation I've worked so hard to gain will also fade away."
Jiang Qi squeezed her arm and said, "Every night after you fall asleep, I will use my spiritual power to nourish your body, so you don't need to worry about these things."
"But I don't want to do this." Jiang Zhiyi was naturally unwilling, and she hugged him directly.
"Please stop locking my spiritual power, okay? I'm being so obedient now, why are you still doing this? I don't want to talk to you anymore..." Jiang Zhiyi started to whine to him.
She looked up at him, her eyes wet, her gaze pitiful and innocent.
Jiang Qi remained silent for the moment, as if he were thinking.
"You're not allowed to touch me! I hate you so much, Jiang Qi is a liar!" Jiang Zhiyi pushed him away and was about to leave.
Jiang Qi pulled her back.
Jiang Zhiyi glared at him a few times, and then started crying.
He hesitated for a while before agreeing, saying, "Okay... but don't even think about doing anything bad, or I'll definitely teach you a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Jiang Qi, you're so kind. Don't worry, I won't do anything bad." Her tone was sweet.
...
That night.
While Jiang Qi was asleep, Jiang Zhiyi secretly got up. She took out the token from his clothes and used magic to create several identical ones.
She had searched for the token several times before, but couldn't find it. She clearly saw him put it away that night, which is why she got up in the middle of the night to steal it.
With this token, she could find an excuse to send Jiang Qi away one day, and then disguise herself as a guard or maid to escape.
After doing all this, Jiang Zhiyi finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She went to the table, intending to blow out the candle.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qi's voice suddenly came from behind.
Jiang Zhiyi was startled. She turned her head and saw that Jiang Qi had already sat up in bed and was looking at her with his eyes slightly narrowed.
She calmed herself down and slowly said, "I'm getting up to get some water."
After blowing out the candle, she immediately lay back down on the bed.
She reached out and hugged his waist, nuzzling her head against his chest. "You lull me to sleep."
Jiang Qi stroked her hair, then pulled her close and let her lie on him to sleep.
As Jiang Zhiyi listened to his heartbeat, she felt relieved that she hadn't been discovered.
But the next moment, she heard Jiang Qi ask, "What are you doing with my token?"
