Ji Fengyao sat in the meditation room, her hands supporting her chin. The table in front of her was filled with black boxes containing spiritual plants, and a pill furnace was placed beside her elbow.
But she had no interest in starting the alchemy process.
The communication jade slip in her sleeve was vibrating incessantly, indicating that her master and brother had found the vicinity and were trying to contact her.
She could sense them, but they couldn't sense her.
This ancient temple was isolated by an array.
"No, I have to talk to that person and make sure he doesn't fight with Master and my brother." Ji Fengyao didn't want to spend too much time with that person, but for the safety of Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and the others, she decided to call him back.
"Senior?" Ji Fengyao called out loudly.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no response from outside.
Didn't you hear me?
Didn't you say you lived in the next courtyard?
Ji Fengyao got up, opened the door, looked at the ink-black night outside, and called out again, "Senior? Are you there?"
"His Majesty has gone out. Why aren't you refining your pills? What do you want with His Majesty?" This time, the man in black robes didn't come. Instead, he summoned the fierce-looking Song Huiru.
Ji Fengyao glanced at Song Huiru, who looked like a ruffled chicken, and ignored her.
Hearing that the person wasn't there, she scoffed and turned to close the door.
Song Huiru slammed her foot on the door: "Are you deaf? I'm asking you a question. What are you doing looking for His Excellency so late at night? His Excellency is not someone you can covet!"
"How pitiful," Ji Fengyao clicked her tongue and shook her head.
The overwhelming contempt in her eyes made Song Huiru feel ashamed and angry to the point of suffocation: "What did you say! You crude bandit, you're so rude and ugly without even realizing it, you're the one who's pathetic!"
Ji Fengyao chuckled and said, "Having been reborn, you're still vying to be a bed warmer? Look at how capable you are! You even look down on bandits? The girls of our Vulture Stronghold don't compete to be someone's concubine!"
These words struck a nerve with Song Huiru:
She originally thought that after entering the Ninth Prince's mansion, she would quickly gain the Ninth Prince's favor with her memories of two lifetimes, and then, with the Ninth Prince's power and influence, she would climb to the pinnacle of power.
But she never expected that the Ninth Prince would be so completely infatuated with this bandit.
Her move to enter the Ninth Prince's mansion not only failed to fulfill her ambitions, but also became a stain on her reputation in both her lives!
You should know that in her previous life, she was also Shang Nanjue's principal wife!
"You think I'm really afraid of you, with only a second-tier Spirit Gathering cultivation level?!" Song Huiru was furious and embarrassed. She waved her hand and took out a fiery red whip from her storage ring. She said viciously, "I heard you like to have your maid whip people. Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be whipped!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyao's jaw dropped sharply, completely dumbfounded.
A mere... second order?
Didn't that person tell Song Huiru what her cultivation level was?
Seeing Ji Fengyao's stunned expression, Song Huiru assumed she was frightened by the impressive whip in her hand. She instantly adopted a queenly demeanor, practically speaking to Ji Fengyao with her nostrils flared: "This is a whip given to me by His Excellency. It's said to be a spiritual weapon, its power doubled when enhanced by spiritual energy! How about that, scared now!"
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Should she just beat this idiot to death, or beat him to death, or beat him to death?
"If you kneel down before me right now, kowtow three times, and say three times, 'Miss Song, please spare this lowly servant's life,' then I will spare you. After all, you are a guest invited back by His Excellency, and I must give His Excellency face," Song Huiru said arrogantly, cracking her long whip.
