Zheng Wanning was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table at this moment.
On the table was a brocade box.
Inside is the Xuan Yang Pill that Bai Qingqing gave her today.
Although she didn't remember who helped Zheng Wanyu when she received the spiritual root transplant, she had a deduction in her mind based on everyone's analysis.
Adding to the fact that Luo Ji had pleaded for Zheng Wanyu earlier, they assumed she was unconscious and dying and couldn't hear them.
She actually heard everything.
Therefore, she didn't blame Zheng Wu Hui after she woke up, nor did she feel close to him.
But for Loki...
She knew that as a child, she shouldn't speak ill of her parents.
But for the past few decades, she has truly lived a life worse than death.
The dimly lit dungeon, and the excruciating pain of each time his heart's blood was drawn.
So how could she not feel any resentment?
If it really was Loki who did it, and Father doesn't want to investigate thoroughly for the sake of their marital relationship, or for some other reason...
She was willing to sever this blood ties.
Having been tormented for decades, plus this precious elixir bestowed by Miss Bai, should be enough to repay the debt of life, right?
“Wan Ning…” At this moment, Zheng Wu Hui walked in from outside and handed her a beautifully designed storage bracelet.
"This is a bamboo-shaped jade bracelet. It can be used for storage and defense. I'm giving it to you. Do you like it?"
Zheng Wanning was taken aback.
"Luo Ji and Zheng Wanyu..." Zheng Wu Hui paused for a moment, then changed his words: "They will never hurt you or bother you again."
"It was my negligence that caused you so much suffering over the years. I am heartbroken and don't expect you to forgive me. I just hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you in the future, okay?"
Looking at the cautious Zheng Wu Hui in front of him, Zheng Wanning's heart, which had been cold for so many years, finally felt a little warm.
“Hmm.” Zheng Wanyu nodded and looked at the Xuan Yang Pill on the dressing table: “I don’t know exactly what this pill is used for, but since it was given to me by Miss Bai, it must be extraordinary. I’ll give it to Father.”
Although she appeared indifferent to Zheng Wu Hui, it was actually just because she was afraid of being disappointed.
She had spent these years in despair and didn't want to make things worse.
But in my heart, how could I not long for family?
Therefore, she was willing to open her heart to Zheng Wu Hui for even the smallest good point.
"Silly daughter." Tears welled up in Zheng Wu Hui's eyes.
How could Loki have been so heartless to have such a kind, obedient, and sensible daughter?
They got off too easily by dying like that.
"With your father here, I will never let anyone bully you again." Zheng Wu Hui ruffled Zheng Wan Ning's hair and said, "Also, this Xuan Yang Pill was given to you by Miss Bai, so it is yours and no one can take it away. Now that you have taken it and refined it, I will protect you."
Zheng Wanning felt even warmer inside and asked, "Tomorrow morning, I still need to go with Lord Wukong to find Miss Bai's spirit pet. Will refining it now cause any delay?"
"No," Zheng Wu Hui said confidently. "Since Miss Bai has given you the medicine, everything must be within expectations. If you refine it now, it might be very useful tomorrow."
"Alright then." Zheng Wanning nodded and solemnly put the Xuan Yang Pill into his mouth.
At the same time, Zheng Wu Hui waved his hand.
A protective shield of spiritual energy enveloped Zheng Wanning.
He stood imposingly to the side, a rake in his right hand, and simultaneously transmitted his voice through spiritual power: "Qin Qi, heed my command!"
He wanted to instruct Qin Qi to arrange for people to guard and protect Zheng Wanning on the perimeter.
No mistakes are allowed.
We must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After all, the pills given by Miss Bai were extremely precious, and it was inevitable that some unusual phenomena would occur after taking them.
But as soon as he struck that pose and uttered those four words, Zheng Wanning's side had already ended.
The Xuan Yang Dan melts upon entering the mouth.
Zheng Wanning's level of understanding rose rapidly, like a rocket.
On the surface, it is simple and unadorned.
There were no unusual phenomena.
If he hadn't been able to clearly sense that Zheng Wanning had already entered the third level of the Core Formation Realm, he would have doubted whether the pill was fake.
Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw, what do you mean fake? How could something given by Miss Bai be fake?
I must have had a brain fart.
Moreover, he could clearly sense that the effects of the Xuan Yang Pill had not been fully realized, with most of it still residing in Wan Ning's spiritual veins.
In other words, Wan Ning's cultivation level will rise at an incredible speed in the future.
Thinking of this, Zheng Wu Hui couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.
Upon hearing Zheng Wu Hui's telepathic message, Qin Qi immediately rushed over.
The last time I heard such a solemn instruction was when there was an invasion by demonic beasts.
Therefore, Qin Qi dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Not only did he rush over, but he also ordered his men to pick up their weapons and stand by.
Then……
He then saw Zheng Wu Hui holding a rake and grinning foolishly at Zheng Wan Ning.
His brows furrowed immediately.
The city lord, he...
Could it be that it's been possessed by an evil spirit?
Did the city lord just send me a telepathic message with all his might, knowing that he had been possessed by an evil spirit, and that's why he hurriedly ordered me to come and protect the fourth young lady?
Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise who knows how this evil spirit would have bullied the Fourth Miss.
Look at that lewd, wanton smile...
court death!
"Demon, retreat at once!" Qin Qi said, slashing down with his long sword.
Zheng Wanning was startled.
Is this an enemy attack?
Before Zheng Wanning could make a move, Qin Qi was already thrown back by the shockwave.
"Fourth Miss, run!" Qin Qi exclaimed in alarm.
Then, he formed a hand seal and his voice was like thunder in spring: "Twelve Golden Generals, heed my command! Form a battle formation to meet the enemy and protect the Fourth Miss!"
"Understood!" Twelve voices boomed.
"You monster, get out of our city lord's body!" Qin Qi slashed again with his sword.
There wasn't a single fancy detail.
That was his strongest strike.
"Qin Qi, what are you doing?" Zheng Wu Hui snapped out of his daze, casually waving the rake...
It's completely broken!
This includes the formation formed by the twelve Golden Generals.
“No enemy attack, no monsters.” Zheng Wanning hurriedly added, “This is the genuine City Lord Zheng Wuhui.”
Qin Qi paused, looked closely, and realized that it was indeed not some kind of monster.
Why did you laugh so...sleazy just now?
And what's the point of ordering me to obey?
"Find out what you're doing next time!" Zheng Wuhui rolled his eyes at Qin Qi and waved his hand, "Get out of here."
"Yes." Qin Qi scratched his head sheepishly, then turned and left with the Twelve Golden Generals.
It wasn't until he got back to his place that Qin Qi came to his senses.
That's not right.
The city lord arrived but didn't say what orders he was supposed to follow.
Or should we go ask again?
Let's get right to it.
Qin Qi got up briskly and ran to find Zheng Wu Hui.
Zheng Wu Hui remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
Qin Qi is good in every way.
It's just that my mind isn't very quick.
"I just want to tell you to strengthen your defenses and protect the Fourth Miss," Zheng Wu Hui said.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Qin Qi finally felt much better.
P.S.: Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and heartwarming words of comfort, my darlings! I love you all so much! I also hope everyone stays safe and sound. Mwah!
