Chapter 27 The Banquet 7 He simply made the most reasonable decision after weighing the options...
Chu Xingjin had seen this scene in his dream. In the scene, he held a long sword and looked heroic. Facing the ferocious claws of the demon beast, he protected three women with his own strength and won the favor of many noble families.
But the reality is that he is kneeling there, unable to move, and even struggles to crawl away.
He remembered the sword Xie Jiaoyue had thrown.
Yes, Xie Jiaoyue is just a vessel, just one of so many people who admire him. Why should Xie Jiaoyue possess such a good sword?
If that sword were in his hands, wouldn't he be able to wield it and slay the demonic beast?
It wasn't that he was cowardly or weak; he simply made the most rational choice after weighing the options, because he had no weapons.
Amid Feng Qianqian's cries for help, Chu Xingjin retreated further and further away.
Upon hearing the cries for help, Xie Jiaoyue immediately turned around.
She and Feng Qianqian were not familiar with each other. In fact, the existence of this female lead was even detrimental to her, because the female lead would later bring the Feng family to become the male lead's support, and her situation would become even more difficult.
Without a second's hesitation, she pushed Xin Xiuying further away, tossed her a bunch of trinkets, and turned back without a second thought.
She had only attended a summer tutoring class and had not formally studied anything; the only thing she knew how to use was the longsword in her hand.
Xie Jiaoyue took a few running steps, used all her strength, drained all the spiritual energy in her dantian and poured it into the longsword, then threw it towards the demonic beast.
Oh dear, Feng Qianqian is in her arms now, and the magical beast is completely enraged.
This is troublesome.
Behind Xie Jiaoyue, Xin Xiuying, who had been Xie Jiaoyue's rival for many years, immediately understood Xie Jiaoyue's intentions without needing to say a word.
These little gadgets are the same ones Xie Jiaoyue used before, the ones that illuminated the cave!
There's no time to call for help now. Launching this might attract other people's attention and maybe save Feng Qianqian's life.
Several fireworks burst overhead.
After the fireworks ended, Xin Xiuying did not leave. As the daughter of the Xin clan patriarch, she could not allow Feng Qianqian to get into trouble within the Xin clan.
When she turned around, Xie Jiaoyue was riding Feng Qianqian, who had transformed into her original form, and was riding a magical beast through the air.
Can't you guys do something normal? Her fragile heart can't take this kind of stimulation.
However, Feng Qianqian's eyes were injured, and she could not fully discern the direction with Xie Jiaoyue's guidance alone. It looked like she was about to be caught by the monster.
Xie Jiaoyue shouted, "Throw something to attract its attention! Hurry! Throw the alchemy furnace!"
Their cultivation levels were low, and ordinary objects couldn't hurt the magical beasts; only the Water Pattern Alchemy Furnace could be effective.
Xin Xiuying was shocked. That was the alchemy furnace that the Xin family usually kept in a shrine. How could they treat it like this?
But the monsters were already closing in on Xie Jiaoyue and Feng Qianqian.
Xin Xiuying gritted her teeth, imitated Xie Jiaoyue's posture, and used all her strength to throw the water-patterned alchemy furnace out.
Oh wow, Warcraft has indeed stopped chasing those two and started chasing her instead.
"Xie Jiaoyue, I'm going to kill you!"
"Don't rush, hang in there, we'll take your turn once we've recovered our strength."
Xie Jiaoyue and Feng Qianqian stopped to rest in the tree. The two usually elegant young ladies now looked like two half-dead little beasts.
She stroked Feng Qianqian's fluffy head; even though it was damp with sweat, it still felt wonderful to the touch.
Even if she dies here today, she can still brag to others in the underworld that she rode a phoenix.
Hang in there. If they can keep the monster at bay for a quarter of an hour, the Xin family will be able to get here by then.
After resting for about a minute, amidst Xin Xiuying's continuous cursing, Xie Jiaoyue patted Feng Qianqian.
"It's our turn."
She took a magical artifact from her person and threw it out as a hidden weapon.
After two or three rounds, Xin Xiuying broke down while running: "Xie Jiaoyue, come and take my place."
Xie Jiaoyue raised her voice: "Do you have anything else to throw away?"
Xin Xiuying fell silent.
Xie Jiaoyue also fell silent.
They were just a few girls who hadn't even entered the clan school yet, with pitifully little spiritual energy, so how many magical treasures could they possibly carry?
Xie Jiaoyue took off her life tablet from her waist.
If this thing were thrown out, Mother would probably be terrified.
But she had no other choice.
After Xie Jiaoyue waited until Feng Qianqian was ready, she rubbed her life tablet together and threw out her last magic weapon.
With a thud, the magic weapon struck the monster's eye socket, bounced off its brow bone, and finally rolled to the ground.
With a deafening roar, the life tablet shattered in two.
Feng Qianqian could only hold on for another minute at most, while Xin Xiuying, who was standing next to her, had already fainted from exhaustion.
If Xinshi doesn't arrive within this minute, then these women will likely perish here.
I wonder what the Xie family will do if they die? Will they fight against the Xin family on her behalf? Or will they just use her as a bargaining chip to demand compensation?
Perhaps because she had already died once, or perhaps because her rebirth was too short, she didn't have enough attachment to this world. At the critical moment of life and death, while directing Feng Qianqian, she still had the mind to contemplate life and death.
Will anyone be sad?
My mother will definitely be heartbroken, and my cheap cousin might also be.
As for Chu Xingjin, he might be saddened by the loss of his "sugar daddy," but it always feels like his relationship with his arch-rival Xin Xiuying is closer than that with his fiancé Chu Xingjin.
That makes sense, after all, she and Xin Xiuying had a bond that included sharing life and death.
Feng Qianqian was exhausted.
Feng Qianqian, with her fiery red feathers, and Xie Jiaoyue, with her black and gold attire, fell from mid-air like fleeting but brilliant shooting stars in the night sky.
A gigantic monster strode through the air, and Xie Jiaoyue could almost smell the stench emanating from its mouth.
"Quick! Save my daughter!"
"Xiuying!"
"Bright moon!"
"Qianqian!"
Finally, someone arrived.
With her last breath, Xie Jiaoyue struggled to shout, "Don't kill it, leave it for me!"
She wouldn't be surnamed Xie if she didn't stab Warcraft seventy or eighty times.
...
The originally planned birthday banquet turned into chaos. Many people from the Xin, Xie, and Feng families came, bringing with them a large group of medical cultivators. For a time, all the medical cultivators in Jinling City gathered at the Xin family's residence.
Xin Du was the most concerned about everyone's injuries in the Xin clan, and he cared for Xie Jiaoyue and Feng Qianqian even more than his own daughter.
He was slightly relieved when he learned that Xin Xiuying was only exhausted and not seriously injured, but he breathed a long sigh of relief when he learned that Xie Jiaoyue's injuries were also not serious.
At least his relationship with Gong Shirao was preserved.
He quickly asked, "How is Feng Qianqian?"
Several healers looked at each other, and finally sent out their oldest member.
"Miss Feng's injuries are quite serious."
Xin Du asked, "What do you mean?"
“Miss Feng has the deepest contact with demonic beasts. Her cultivation time is still short and her protective spiritual energy is insufficient, which has allowed demonic energy to invade her body. If we do not find spiritual medicine to stop it, I am afraid that the demonic energy will invade her dantian in a few days. At that time, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal will be powerless to save her.”
Xin Du gasped, feeling as if he was about to faint.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the person sent by the Phoenix Clan glared angrily: "Xin Du, this is the Xin Clan's territory! How can there be a demonic beast here! If you can't explain this clearly, we'll see you at the Heaven and Earth Division!"
Xin was on the verge of tears, but he also wanted to know the answer to this question.
Their Western Regions are far from the Demon Realm, and the seal between the two realms is not here. Moreover, the Xin Clan's territory is patrolled every day, and there are never any problems under normal circumstances. Why did a problem occur today?
He felt wronged.
At this moment, Xin Du's own explanations were too weak, so he looked to Gong Shirao for help.
Although Gong Shirao was also angry, she still offered a few words of explanation for Xin Du, considering that her daughter was not seriously injured.
“If we had arrived any later, Xin Xiuying’s life would have been in danger, and Xin Du probably wouldn’t have known about the appearance of this monster.”
Xin Du quickly followed: "This is a matter of great importance. We will definitely investigate it carefully afterward. If there is indeed a leak of demonic aura, it will also be a major threat to the Xin Clan. The Xin Clan will never hide it and will inform the Heaven and Earth Bureau immediately."
The Phoenix Clan had many complaints, but there was one thing they couldn't deny: the Demon Clan and cultivators had a blood feud, and most of the Demon Clan had low intelligence, only knowing how to eat human flesh and blood according to their instincts. They were completely incapable of communication. Concealing the existence of the Demon Clan or cooperating with the Demon Clan would not benefit the cultivators at all.
After being given several bowls of elixirs, the three people, who were in a daze, gradually woke up.
Feng Qianqian was the most seriously injured, but perhaps because of the strong constitution of the demon race, she was the first to wake up.
Upon waking up, she saw her family members in front of her and immediately turned her head away.
She still remembers in her heart that they wanted to marry her off.
She looked around and asked in confusion, "Have you seen Young Master Chu Xingjin?"
Xin Du counted the people present, but the number didn't match.
He had been too busy before and hadn't counted carefully. Now he realized that all the young masters from the noble families who had been to the Xin Clan's Forest were gathered here, but one person was missing.
"Was this Young Master Chu with you guys earlier?"
Feng Qianqian nodded, and she naturally guessed, "Perhaps he wanted to go and get reinforcements, which is why he didn't stay with us later."
That was the person who would roast chicken for her; Feng Qianqian didn't believe that the other party would simply run away and completely abandon her.
Her expression held the shyness of a young girl: "Young Master Chu, I believe he won't leave me alone in danger."
Although Feng Qianqian did not directly state her feelings, her expression said it all.
Gong Shirao sensed something was wrong. Could Chu Xingjin be having an affair behind his daughter's back?
Xin Du's eyebrows twitched. This young master Chu actually managed to manipulate the daughters of two prominent families so completely? This kid is amazing.
No, no, he only remembered that he was a man and forgot that he also had a daughter. In the future, he would have to keep his daughter away from the Chu family. The Xin family does not need a disobedient son-in-law.
Only the Phoenix Clan members arrived late, looking puzzled: "Who is Chu Xingjin?"
Gong Shirao explained with a dark face, "He is my daughter Xie Jiaoyue's fiancé. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a son-in-law of the Xie family in the future."
Unable to move from her hospital bed, Feng Qianqian nearly jumped up: "What! Impossible!"
Unbeknownst to Chu Xingjin, his fishpond, which contained only two fish, suddenly overturned.
Author's note: Damn it, my drafts always seem to disappear and reappear.
