Ji Fengming's ears turned red with anxiety: "Miss, you can't say things like that!"
"I'm not making this up. You're Yao Yao's brother, and you're just as good-looking as Yao Yao. I like Yao Yao a lot, and I like you a lot too. You can tell your parents about me." Wanqi Kafu innocently and frankly expressed her feelings directly.
Ji Fengming: "!!!"
What kind of creature are these girls from the Kingdom of Gara? They're absolutely terrifying!
Xiao Chen, I want to go home!
“Kaf, don’t be silly,” Zhao Qinglian said with a smile, quickly stopping Wanqi Kaf. “Da Zhao is a land of etiquette, with very strict rules and manners, unlike our country of Jialuo, where the people are more open. Don’t make such jokes with our distinguished guests.”
Wanqikafu pouts adorably:
She wasn't joking; she genuinely liked this boy with his clean and bright smile!
However, since her aunt had spoken, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, especially since she was also engaged.
But this engagement...
Watching Shang Xiye's attentive and caring attitude towards Ji Fengyao, Wanqi Kafu had an idea.
The whole afternoon.
Wanqikaf intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Ji Fengming and tried to chat with him.
Ji Fengming had never encountered anything that left him so bewildered and helpless.
Moreover, the girl wasn't being unreasonable; she was just exceptionally enthusiastic, which he found hard to handle and couldn't reprimand.
After dinner, Jun Shimi said he wanted to ask Shang Xiye for advice on management matters privately.
Ji Fengming felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He grabbed Hei Xiao, shamelessly forced his way over, and ran away as if fleeing, afraid that Wanqi Kafu would follow him!
It was getting late outside.
Zhao Qinglian had Wanqikafu sent back first, leaving only her and Ji Fengyao in the hall.
Seeing this, Ji Fengyao immediately understood that Jun Shimi had deliberately called Shang Xiye away.
But Zhao Qinglian is different from the two-faced Empress Dowager Da Zhao; Zhao Qinglian's kindness is genuine.
“Child, I know you have something on your mind. Now that I’ve sent them all away, can you tell your mother what’s on your mind?” Zhao Qinglian sat down next to Ji Fengyao, her eyes full of affection.
Ji Fengyao's heart softened, her eyes stung, and she revealed a sadness she had never shown in front of others: "Mother, I may not live for more than three years."
"How could this be?" Zhao Qinglian anxiously grabbed Ji Fengyao's hand, carefully examined her body, and asked in bewilderment, "Your physical condition is good, and there are no problems with your cultivation. Why would you say such an ominous thing?"
Ji Fengyao knew that Zhao Qinglian came from the cultivation world and understood many things about her, so she didn't hide anything from her and said directly, "To be honest, Mother, I am not actually from this world. In my previous life, I was poisoned by a strange poison when I was dying. This poison is lurking in my soul and is called the Time-Freezing Pill. It will prevent me from living past the age of twenty in every life."
Although Zhao Qinglian didn't know what the Time-Freezing Pill was, she also knew that in the cultivation world, there were all sorts of unbelievable things.
She asked with a solemn expression, "You are an alchemist, can't you decipher it yourself?"
"I can cure it, but the antidote requires collecting 666 different medicinal herbs. The names of the herbs and medicinal plants are different in each world, and I have no idea what these herbs are called in this world. I have only found a small portion of them so far."
We've already searched for all the easy-to-find medicinal herbs, and now the search for more herbs is progressing much slower.
But I'm already seventeen this year, and I only have less than three years left.
Moreover, this world is merely a fragment left behind after the collapse of the upper realm.
