The whistling sound of a whip was heard in the air, and Xu Jinyi knew that this was how the whip marks on the child's body came from.
His face turned completely cold. The child was only about six or seven years old. How could these people have the heart to do that to him?
Li Junci curled up in the wobbly wardrobe, listening to the familiar vicious voice coming from outside.
His long eyelashes trembled. It’s okay, he has gotten used to it over the years.
Ever since his mother died, no one in this world would love him anymore.
He wanted to go with his mother, but his mother told him to stay alive, no matter how difficult it was.
He has been very obedient all these years, but he is very tired... very tired.
Li Junci thought that the palace maids would come in and arrest him soon, and he was mentally prepared for a beating.
But I heard the people outside shouting in panic and fear that there was a ghost, followed by the sound of messy footsteps.
Li Junci pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside and sneered.
ghost?!
Are ghosts scary?
Is there anything scarier than humans?
If there were a ghost, he would really like to see it.
But? What did they encounter?
Could it be...her?
Didn't she leave?
Thinking of that fairy-like face, a trace of trance flashed across Li Junci's eyes.
Is she really a fairy sister sent from heaven to save him?
There was no sound from outside, and Li Junci felt a sense of loss in his heart that he didn't even notice.
After a while, Mo Ze heard light footsteps, followed by the sound of something being placed on the table.
Xu Jinyi brought six more dishes of her choice from the imperial kitchen in two food boxes. She placed them on the table before looking at the wardrobe whose doors were not even properly closed.
Through the gap, I seemed to see the wolf-like eyes in the darkness.
In this shabby place, only the dining table is barely usable. The stools are a bit worn, but still clean.
Xu Jinyi sat down and couldn't wait to taste the delicious braised pork.
"Well, the chef in the imperial kitchen is really good. His cooking skills deserve full marks."
Li Junci stared through the gap, swallowed uncontrollably, and touched his aching stomach.
I pressed it and it hurt a lot, like it was burning on fire.
The delicious food on the table was steaming with fragrance, and Li Junci's eyes were filled with longing.
"It smells so good. Are you sure you don't want to come out and have some? It's better to die of a full stomach than of starvation, right?"
Li Junci knew she was talking to him, pursed his lips, and didn't believe that she was a good person.
Or maybe the more beautiful one looks, the more vicious one is.
Xu Jinyi didn't expect that he was so defensive. A starving child actually had such great endurance to resist the temptation of food.
"Are you afraid I'll poison you? Do you think I'd need to go through so much trouble to kill you?"
Xu Jinyi used his inner strength to suck the stones on the ground into his palm, and like squeezing soil, the small stones turned into powder and fell to the ground.
When Li Junci saw this scene, his pupils shrank drastically and he clenched his fists.
The door of the wardrobe slowly opened, Li Junci walked out, his eyes falling on Xu Jinyi's hand.
"You really aren't here to kill me?"
"It would be easy for me to kill you."
Li Junci was silent for a moment, looked at the bowl of rice prepared for him on the table, and without hesitation, sat down opposite Xu Jinyi, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Li Junci has been in this cold palace since he was born, and has never had a full meal since he was a child.
The food those people brought was either rotten or moldy, and the portions were only a little.
His mother starved to death in order to save food for him.
In Li Junci's eyes, he had never seen his mother eat anything good.
Tears fell drop by drop into the bowl, blurring my vision.
Seeing this scene, a trace of pity flashed in Xu Jinyi's eyes.
"If you want to leave, I can take you away."
Li Junci quickly wiped away his tears, looked up at Xu Jinyi, and said in a sharp voice: "Why? If you are a fairy sent from heaven, why did you show up so late? Why didn't you show up earlier?"
"If you had appeared earlier, my mother would not have died."
Li Junci's eyes were bloodshot and he yelled at Xu Jinyi.
Xu Jinyi didn't bother with a child and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
"Your mother will be watching you from heaven."
"Will it?"
"I will."
Li Junci stared at her, and his broken heart suddenly started beating.
"Then can you teach me martial arts?"
Xu Jinyi glanced at him and saw his eyes flashing. In an instant, Xu Jinyi understood what he was thinking.
I sighed inwardly, knowing what he was thinking.
I don't think he did anything wrong. If it were her, she would do the same, she would seek revenge.
She has never been a good person, so she won't persuade him to let go of his hatred.
But it’s okay to teach others the system’s martial arts. Since Xiaoqi can’t be contacted in the vacation world, then there’s no problem.
But she only has three months, and even if his bones are very good, it would be difficult for him to learn it.
Li Junci thought she was unwilling, and his eyes became gloomy.
"Learning martial arts is not something that can be done overnight. I don't have much time left here, so I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you."
Li Junci laughed at himself when he heard this, his expression was totally unlike that of a six or seven year old child.
Sure enough, no one really cares about him, and no one says they really like him.
"If you really want to learn, how about I draw the moves and teach you?"
A voice like the sound of nature sounded, and to Li Junci's ears, it sounded extremely beautiful.
Li Junci nodded vigorously, fearing that Xu Jinyi would go back on his word.
Looking at Xu Jinyi's eyes, he slowly let down his guard. The two of them, one big and one small, ate up all six dishes without leaving even a single leaf.
After finishing eating, Li Junci was still looking at Xu Jinyi and suddenly said, "Aren't you a fairy? Why do you need to eat too?"
Xu Jinyi: "...Who told you that fairies don't need to eat?"
Li Junci: “…” It seems there is nothing wrong.
Just as he was about to say something, Li Junci's face suddenly changed. He held his stomach and looked at Xu Jinyi with hatred.
Xu Jinyi blinked innocently: "I really didn't poison you!"
Li Junci looked at her warily, his stomach aching and cold sweat breaking out.
Even Xu Jinyi was puzzled. The food couldn't be poisonous, otherwise why did she eat it and be fine?
Suddenly remembering that this child had been in the cold palace, Xu Jinyi suddenly understood: "Have you never eaten meat?!"
"Blame me, blame me. You haven't eaten meat in all these years. It would be strange if you didn't have stomach upset after eating so much greasy food all at once."
"Do you feel any stomach pain right now? Don't worry, one pill will make you better immediately."
Xu Jinyi took out another Peiyuan Pill and handed it over.
It's a rare opportunity to go to the realm of cultivation, and Xu Jinyi has the skills to refine medicine, so of course he prepared a lot of such magical medicines.
