"Xi'er, why don't we let it go? It's just a misunderstanding, it'll be fine once it's cleared up," Ji Fenghua said, seeing how pitiful the city guard was.
It's true that he grew up in a bandit stronghold, but he and Feng Xiao were both quite young at that time.
Moreover, his parents, brother, sister, and even his brother-in-law, the Ninth Prince and the Black Owl, instilled positive and uplifting ideas in him and Feng Xiao. Therefore, the bandit-like nature of him and Feng Xiao was not as strong as that of Ji Fengming and Ji Fengyao.
In their youth, Feng Hua and Feng Xiao were still innocent and naive young boys, unaware of the wickedness of the world and the hearts of men.
"No way, I'm taking this dog's head today!" Mi Xi was instilled with the law of the jungle among cultivators since childhood, and was also pampered by everyone in her clan, making her extremely arrogant.
She treated Ji Fenghua well because she liked that Ji Fenghua was a little devil.
Now that the city guards have touched something she likes and crossed her line, her spoiled young lady temper has become uncontrollable.
"Anyone who obstructs me will be wiped out by me, and I mean it!" Mi Xi's willful nature was on full display, but because she was born with a sweet, round face and was still young, she appeared charming and not particularly annoying.
But what she said chilled everyone present to the bone.
Especially the city guard who had previously made things difficult for Ji Fenghua.
Upon hearing Mi Xi say that if he didn't die today, his entire family and three clans would be wiped out, his face turned ashen, his eyes filled with despair, and he cried out, "It was only because I was blind that I made a mistake. My sins do not extend to my family. I am willing to accept my punishment and beg Second Miss to spare my family's lives."
"Brother, please don't..."
Ji Fenghua wanted to dissuade the city guard from doing something foolish, but Mi Xi grabbed her arm and said angrily, "Little devil, why are you calling him 'big brother'? If it weren't for me today, he might have already killed you. How can you be so soft-hearted!"
The city guard's lips twitched slightly: To be honest, even if the second young lady hadn't been there today, he wouldn't have killed Ji Fenghua. He would have just let Ji Fenghua touch the energy stone again, but his attitude would still have been as firm as before.
He was a city guard, and it was his duty to strictly check everyone entering the city.
If he were given the chance to do it again, he would do the same thing.
However, judging from the pampered and arrogant demeanor of this second young lady, she probably wouldn't listen to his explanation.
The city guard closed his eyes in despair, raised his hand and slapped his lower abdomen, shattering his dantian. The surging energy also severed his blood vessels and damaged his internal organs.
He was still only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the complete destruction of his physical body was enough to kill him; he was certain he wouldn't survive.
But Mi Xi was not satisfied with his behavior. She stepped forward and shouted shrilly, "You are a cultivator, and cultivators should die according to the way of cultivators. You die like a mortal. Do you want to be reincarnated to seek revenge on me?!"
"Xi'er!"
Realizing Mi Xi's intention, Ji Fenghua quickly tried to stop her, but she was too late.
A small sword, about the length of a finger, shot out from Mi Xi's sleeve. Before she could finish speaking, it pierced the city guard's forehead, completely destroying and annihilating his consciousness and his still-lingering soul.
“Xi’er…you…” Ji Fenghua stared at Mi Xi in shock, instinctively feeling that she was too spoiled and too cruel.
"Little devil, I did this all to stand up for you. Aren't you happy?" Mi Xi turned around and looked at Ji Fenghua innocently, her little mouth pouting, looking a little angry and aggrieved.
