“In the past, when the Princess went out, I took care of all her needs, including her food, clothing, and daily life. I am also more familiar with the capital than Sister Xique. I will protect the Princess with my life, just like Sister Xique, and not let her be bullied!”
As Bai Lu spoke, she waved her little fists as if she were about to get into a fight.
Having been together for so long, Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing both know what kind of person Bai Lu is, and they trust her completely.
Ji Fengyao originally wanted to go alone, as it would be more convenient for her to do things that way;
However, Su Rujing did not grow up in the cultivation world, and her thinking was still based on the worldly custom of having servants at home and servants accompanying her when going out. If the little bandit girl did not agree to take Bailu with her, she would not let the little bandit girl go.
Ji Fengyao had no choice but to compromise.
Shang Xiye remained silent for a long while. After the little bandit girl had finished speaking with Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing, he asked in a low voice, "My little wife, you've said so much, and I really don't have a better reason to refute you. You are strong and free, and I have never thought of restricting you. But if you don't have at least a 70% chance of protecting yourself on this trip, I don't want you to go. Because if anything happens to you, I..."
He didn't say what he was going to say, but everyone understood, and they all looked at her with the same worried eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't go to my death for nothing," the young female bandit stood up and solemnly assured them.
Seeing everyone so serious, the atmosphere was too heavy.
Her bright, clear eyes darted around, and she put her hands on her hips, deliberately striking a cute and playful pose. She said with an air of arrogance, "Who am I? This young lady is the disciple of a deity, the number one bandit of Vulture Stronghold. Do you think those brain-dead demonic cultivators can outsmart me? You should be worrying about whether I'll empty their pockets, just like before!"
"That's right, that's right, Miss is so clever and capable!" The number one fan, Xique, immediately clapped her hands in agreement and shouted loudly, "Miss, if they ask you to refine pills, you have to seize the opportunity to trick them. If you can't hide them, burn them all!"
"That's a must. Would I, this young lady, give them leftover food to harm us?" The little bandit raised her chin arrogantly, her right thumb sweeping stylishly across her nose, looking both roguish and handsome, yet also adorable.
The lively and amusing conversation between the master and servant immediately made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere improved considerably.
The young female bandit was discussing and planning what to do next with Shang Xiye and the others.
Meanwhile, Meng Qi returned to Kyoto with Chen Ziyun.
Chen Ziyun returned to the palace to continue being the aloof and indifferent Empress Dowager.
Meng Qi returned to Shang Beiyu's side to admit his mistakes and accept his punishment.
"So, the destruction of that branch altar in Cuiwei Snowfield was due to your fault?" Shang Beiyu's face showed no anger, but his tone was very indifferent, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.
"It is indeed related to my subordinates. Please punish me, Your Majesty," Meng Qi answered honestly, kneeling on the ground.
Shang Beiyu then glanced at him, casually waved his hand, and a black whip-like demonic energy shot into Meng Qi's brow.
The black whip entered Meng Qi's sea of consciousness directly, lashing at his soul.
That pain, so deep it penetrated to the very soul and was unavoidable, was something even Meng Qi, one of the Ten Demon Generals, with his unyielding pride, could not bear.
But compared to this unbearable pain, Meng Qi dared not beg for mercy.
He knew the Lord's methods: anyone who made a mistake would be punished without any room for resistance, or else they would die!
