These past few days, Ji Rufeng has locked himself in his room, refusing to see anyone. Outsiders have no idea how much of a blow he has suffered, as he licks his wounds in sorrow at home.
Yes, when he woke up that day, he felt helpless, in pain, and resentful. If his master hadn't arrived, he really couldn't imagine what would have become of him.
Now that he's calmed down, he realizes that his father, just as the old man said, no longer values him.
Fortunately, his master did not give up on him, which made him determined to return to the sect with his master.
He slowly walked out of the general's mansion, passing by the princess's mansion and staring at the gate, his eyes sharp as swords, a cold smile on his lips.
In a short period of time, he was turned from a genius into a good-for-nothing, and he was even defiled by a group of beggars!
Ji Jiuying, I will come back!
······
The northernmost city.
When Ji Jiuying and the others arrived, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
Looking down, everything was white. This city is covered in snow all year round, and the streets were quite lively. Life here shouldn't be too difficult.
Ye Qingchen stowed the flying boat not far from the city gate and led everyone to an inn.
Ji Jiuying looked downstairs and saw various spiritual cultivators from all over the world, dressed in strange clothes, wandering the streets. They must have come for those strange phenomena.
"Qingchen, when do we enter the snow mountain?"
"The fog is too thick now, let's wait until noon!"
After the group ate and rested for a while, noon soon arrived.
Ye Jue appeared in the room in a flash. "Master, I don't know why the fog on the snow mountain is so thick today. People who wanted to enter the snow mountain are all turning back."
Ye Qingchen frowned. In all the days he had been here before, the thick fog would always dissipate around noon. Why was it like this this time? He had a bad feeling about it.
"It seems we won't be able to get into the snow mountain today!"
Hearing this, the group had no choice but to return to their rooms. Ji Jiuying released the small beasts, and Qingling's eyes lit up at the sight.
She had met Xiao Huang'er before, but she had never met the others.
"Miss, who is this little boy?" Qingling asked, pointing to the little boy who had transformed into human form.
The little boy's face darkened when he heard that he, a dignified ancient dragon, was being called a little brother!
Little Phoenix covered her mouth with her wings and chuckled.
"He is a phantom dragon!"
Qingling suddenly realized that he was the dragon that was being talked about outside. Although she was the young lady's personal maid, this was the first time she had ever seen a phantom dragon, especially one that had transformed into human form. It was incredibly cool!
"Miss, is that bear your pet?" Qingling poked the white ball of fur, feeling an overwhelming urge to hug it!
The evil fire instantly bristled, and with a whoosh, it flew up, shouting, "You're the bear! Your whole family are bears!"
Qingling was stunned. My God! It's a flying bear!
"Maybe!" Ji Jiuying glanced at Xie Huo.
That filthy woman! That filthy woman! How dare she call him a pet! He'll never speak to her again!
Upon hearing this, Xie Huo turned his back to Ji Jiu Ying, looking from a distance just like a ball of fluff in the air.
"Little Evil Flame! Come here!"
Evil Fire remained motionless, its back to her.
"If you don't come over, you can stay in the space by yourself." Ji Jiuying's threatening tone was clear.
Evil fire; ...
He finally managed to revert to his original form and finally get out into the outside world, but this wretched woman just keeps threatening him. She's going to pluck all the hair off his head!
He lay in Ji Jiuying's arms, cursing and swearing!
Ji Jiuying ignored him and released the Purple Lightning Leopard from her spatial storage.
"Qingling, come here!"
Qingling was a little scared when she saw the leopard on the ground, but she still walked over.
"Now you have two choices: either form a contract with the Spirit or die!" Ji Jiuying said, looking at the Purple Lightning Leopard on the ground.
Zidianbao glanced at Qingling and was stunned for a moment. It had always thought that Ji Jiuying kept it because she wanted to form a contract with it.
That's true. She has divine beasts, magical beasts, and spatial beasts around her, so it's normal that she doesn't think much of it.
Between death and a contract, I'd definitely choose the latter, even though the person I'm making the contract with is a bit weak, it's still better than death.
The purple lightning leopard lay on the ground.
Qingling finally came to her senses! This leopard lady was her contracted beast?
"Qingling, what are you standing there for? Quickly form a contract!"
"Okay, Miss!"
Qingling then approached the Purple Lightning Leopard and placed her hand on its head.
A human and a beast, a halo of light formed beneath their feet.
Half an hour later, a connection was formed between the man and the beast. A mark appeared on the Purple Lightning Leopard's forehead, and its size changed from half a person's height to the size of a kitten.
"Owner!"
A grown male voice came from the Purple Lightning Leopard's mouth, startling Qingling! "Who!"
"Master, do not be afraid, it is I, the Purple Lightning Leopard!"
"How...how can you speak like that!"
"I am a mythical beast, so I can talk."
It took Qingling a while to process this news.
Qingling hugged the Purple Lightning Leopard tightly. "From now on, I'll call you Little Purple. Don't worry, I'll protect you!"
The Purple Lightning Leopard wanted to say: With her meager spiritual power, it could barely protect her!
However, this feeling is quite nice; it's a feeling I've never had with my previous owner!
Ji Jiuying was lying in bed, just as she was about to fall asleep, when a commotion broke out on the street.
Suddenly, a breeze swept by! A figure quickly appeared from the window and came to her bedside, holding a knife to her neck.
A strong, pungent smell of blood wafted over.
"Miss, I had no intention of offending you. I only entered here to hide for a while because I had no other choice!"
Drip, drip! Bright red blood dripped onto the ground, looking especially eerie in the night.
"You're injured!" Ji Jiuying's eyes flashed with killing intent as she gripped the Black Night sword tightly. This man exuded a dangerous and chilling aura, an aura she had never encountered before, except for the one she had sensed from Gong Mingyue.
The man did not answer Ji Jiuying!
Seemingly sensing Ji Jiuying's movement, the man pressed the knife even closer to her neck, his voice hoarse, "Miss, you'd better not move rashly. Swords have no eyes..."
"Woman, the man behind you has a strong demonic aura!" Evil Fire's voice rang in Ji Jiuying's mind.
A demonic aura? Could this man be a demon?
At that moment, the noise from downstairs grew closer! A chilling aura and murderous intent suddenly emanated from the man.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the city lord was attacked by assassins tonight. The assassins have taken cover in this restaurant. For your safety, we ask for your cooperation!"
The man who spoke had a dignified and cold aura. After finishing his sentence, he ordered his men to go upstairs and check each guest without waiting for their reaction.
"You've been poisoned. If you don't get rid of it now, even if you manage to escape now, you definitely won't escape tonight," Ji Jiuying's cold voice came.
"Are you an alchemist?"
"If you keep asking, those people will start to get suspicious!"
Hearing this, the man withdrew the knife from her neck with some skepticism, but his attention was still mostly on Ji Jiuying. If he found anything wrong with her, he would kill her without hesitation.
