Does this whole family have to spoil their host so much?
Thankfully, the host didn't say she wanted to become an empress, otherwise this whole family might have stormed into the capital and snatched the emperor's throne back for the host to sit on.
The feeling of being genuinely cared for by her loved ones warmed Ji Fengyao's heart: "Everyone calm down, I was just bored and went up to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view."
“Daughter, you don’t need to hide it anymore. You’re not that refined person.” Ji Chenhai rolled up his sleeves. “You wait here. Your father and your elder brother are going down the mountain for a trip. We’ll be back soon.”
Ji Fengyao: "..."
“That’s right, Miss. You used to beat up any scholar you saw, saying they were too pedantic and an eyesore. How could you be like those bookworms, all girly and fussy, suddenly looking at the scenery? You must have been angered by that damned prince,” Xique added from the side.
Ji Fengyao sighed helplessly, "Believe me, a mere man isn't worth my life. I really just went up there to calm down for a while and to process the strange dream I had last night."
Everyone was stunned. A dream?
"Yes, I dreamt of an old immortal. He said I would die in four years and told me to collect 100,000 kinds of medicinal herbs. He also gave me a pill formula and a cluster of pill fire, and told me to refine the medicine according to the formula. Once the medicine was refined, I wouldn't have to die."
Everyone: "..."
He's really heartbroken and gone mad; he's started talking nonsense.
"Don't stop me, I'm going down the mountain right now and chop that bastard Ninth Prince to pieces!" Ji Chenhai was furious and about to go berserk.
The three Ji brothers also rolled up their sleeves and thrust out their arms, ready to fight, their violence at its maximum.
Ji Fengyao rubbed her aching temples, and with no other choice, raised her right hand in front of her chest, using her body to block the view of only a few people nearby. She growled, "See for yourselves!"
A small, pale blue flame, about the thickness of a thumb, flickered gently in Ji Fengyao's palm. It seemed delighted to touch the spiritual energy in the air.
This was the extreme fire that her master helped her subdue in her first life. It was kept in her life soul and was the only thing she could take with her in each life.
Everyone: "!"
Ji Fengxiao curiously reached out to touch it, but Ji Fengyao quickly grabbed the Extreme Fire back: "It can burn a person's soul, and outsiders must not touch it. I know you are shocked. When I woke up this morning and found it, I was also shocked, which is why I went to the top of the mountain."
"Yao'er, four years from now, you really will..." Su Rujing's eyes reddened, and she couldn't continue.
The other men in the Ji family and Xique also wore sorrowful expressions, showing no sign of the strange and excited Ji Huo.
This is what family is. True family will always prioritize your life and well-being.
Ji Fengyao nodded with emotion: "I'm afraid so. Therefore, I think I need to marry into the Ninth Prince's mansion. Only by going to the capital and using the royal family's connections and power can I collect 100,000 medicinal herbs as quickly as possible."
“There’s no need for her to marry the Ninth Prince. He’s lame, disfigured, and has a terrible temper. The Emperor has four sons of marriageable age. Let’s find someone else,” Ji Fengming said, as if the Emperor’s sons were cabbages in the field that could be picked at will.
Ji Fengyao stood on tiptoe and patted Ji Fengming's shoulder: "If you ask me, none of the royal men in their three palaces and six courtyards are clean. If I were to choose carefully, I wouldn't like any of them. But I'm going to find medicine, not to actually get married. Isn't it perfect that he's lame, ugly, has a bad temper, and even looks down on me? After four years, I'll just divorce him and find someone else I love!"
