“But…” Ji Fenghua was about to try to persuade her again.
Mi Xi pushed him away and said angrily, "It's a fact that I am the second young lady of the Hidden Sect. If they dare to lay a finger on me, the Hidden Sect will skin them alive. What can they do to me? I think you're just like them. You don't like to get involved in the fun, so you try to find ways to stop me. You don't keep your word. I'm not going to be friends with you anymore!"
After saying that, Mi Xi's eyes reddened, and she turned to run away.
She truly feels wronged; she becomes incredibly aggrieved whenever others don't do what she wants.
But she wasn't really going to run; she was just putting on an act.
She used to be like this at home. Whenever she got angry, her father, mother, and sister would come to coax her, and this trick always worked.
Ji Fenghua was indeed anxious. His old friends from the Vulture Village were usually not angry.
Even if we get angry occasionally, we just have a fight and that's it. Whoever wins gets to decide. It's that simple.
Seeing that Mi Xi was so angry that she was about to leave, and even said that she would not be with him anymore, it was as if she was about to sever all ties with him. He hurriedly chased after her and agreed without thinking, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to whatever you say, Xi'er, don't go."
"Hmph," Mi Xi pouted, a glistening tear still clinging to her eye.
The anger in my heart came and went quickly, subsiding by more than half, but I still had to keep going.
In all her years, Ji Fenghua had never seen anyone around her shed a tear; everyone was always smiling.
Seeing the teardrop under Mi Xi's eye now, I felt that I was extremely awful.
It's normal for a young girl, delicate as a flower, to be a little fragile, but she ended up crying because of herself.
"Xi'er, don't be angry anymore. I'll listen to whatever you say from now on, and I'll be there for you no matter what you want to do, okay?" Ji Fenghua pleaded with all her heart, never having been so patient with anyone before: "Don't be angry with me anymore. I'll apologize to you, okay?"
"Then..." The words rushed to his lips.
Mi Xi looked into Ji Fenghua's anxious eyes, then looked away.
Although the little girl is young, she has a remarkable ability to understand human nature.
She could see seven parts anxiety in Ji Fenghua's eyes, but three parts of it were not her own rationality.
Making a master-servant covenant with someone is a major matter concerning one's lifelong freedom. If his heart does not truly belong to her, then her request is very likely to be rejected, and he will become wary of her. In the future, it will be difficult for her to approach him as unhindered as she is now.
Cao Xiaosi was worried about Ji Fenghua, and would often circle around outside Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi's door.
Hearing a noise inside, they knocked on the door and asked, "Would you two like some soup?"
Secretly, he transmitted his voice to Ji Fenghua, saying, "Fenghua, the Qu family is searching for you and this young lady throughout the city. You two should pack up quickly. I know a small path that they shouldn't have noticed yet. I'll take you out of the city."
"What soup do you want? Are you blind? We're all cultivators!" Mi Xi, still unable to obtain Ji Fenghua as a demonic pet and now knowing the Qu family was trying to capture her, was already furious. She flung open the door and roared at Cao Xiaosi, "Get out! You uncouth mortal!" Cao Xiaosi: "..."
He gave Ji Fenghua a meaningful look: "This friend of yours seems to have a rather unpleasant temper."
Ji Fenghua nodded apologetically to Cao Xiaosi, signaling him to leave first.
