Ji Chenhai and Shang Xiye kept a close eye on Ji Fengyao's condition. They saw her brows furrowed one moment and her expression become uneasy and pale the next. Their hearts were also filled with anxiety and unease, but they dared not disturb her.
Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Wu Zhong, and the others returned to the inn, only to return with the same result: "No news yet."
The group knew that Ji Fengyao was using her method to find the magpie, and that her condition was extremely dangerous.
It was already close to dawn, and they were afraid that if they went out again, Chen Xiaoyi's men would find out and discover something was amiss, so they stayed behind to guard Ji Fengyao.
After delivering the message to the Crown Prince, Zhuo Cong returned happily to talk to Xi Que.
The magpie put on quite a show of acting before finally managing to send the delusional toad away to the next house.
As the young lady once said, the time when people are most tired and sleep the most soundly is when dawn is approaching.
Xi Que remembered every word Ji Fengyao had said and planned to make his move at dawn, taking advantage of the people's fatigue to drug them unconscious and then escape.
Just as she was about to take out her medicine bag from her storage ring and prepare to act, a small, shimmering butterfly suddenly slipped in through a crack in the window frame.
It must be said that Psylocke's design is truly beautiful and adorable.
The magpie was immediately drawn to it: "Strange, how can there be a butterfly at this time of year, especially one that glows all over?"
"Happy bird!"
Ji Fengyao's soul, which was attached to the magpie, discovered the magpie and was very happy;
However, because it was only a wisp of soul, the sound it transmitted was so faint that it was almost inaudible, and the magpie did not hear it.
Seeing that the fairy butterfly kept circling around her and seemed very happy, the magpie tried to reach out and catch it, whispering, "You seem to like me a lot?"
Silly girl!
Of course I like your daughter!
If I don't like you, why would I go through all this trouble to find you?
Ji Fengyao manipulated the spirit butterfly to fly to the magpie's fingertip. Because she had been controlling the spirit butterfly for too long, her soul power was somewhat weak at the moment, and its wings drooped listlessly on her finger.
"What's wrong? Is it too cold outside?" The magpie brought the fairy butterfly closer, preparing to take it to the fire pit to warm it up.
Ji Fengyao's soul weakly uttered a curse: "Stupid sparrow!"
Because they were so close, the magpie received her message and recognized her voice. Overjoyed, it almost cried out, "Little...!"
The two people who had been guarding the door immediately asked, "Miss Xique, what happened?"
Startled, the magpie quickly grasped the butterfly in its hand and called out, "It's nothing, I just accidentally bumped into it."
"Oh, then be careful, young lady, and get some rest," the person at the door said politely.
The magpie responded, and when they were quiet, it moved the butterfly to its ear, placed it on its ear, and happily transmitted its voice to it, "Miss, is that you? Can you hear me like this?"
"It's me, it's me!" Ji Fengyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was in good condition.
Just as I was about to ask her what was going on, I heard Xique ask with a mixture of joy and surprise, "Miss, what's wrong with you, you've turned into a little devil!"
Ji Fengyao: "..."
This girl, does she even know how to chat?!
"What nonsense! This is a Spirit Butterfly!" Ji Fengyao didn't have time to explain things to Xique, so she simply asked about Xique's current situation. Upon learning that Xique was now in the hands of the Crown Prince's men and that she had already intimidated Ma Cong, she praised her again.
The magpie was overjoyed.
Finally, just as she was about to dispel the spirit butterfly and retrieve her soul, Ji Fengyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
