Soon, blood-red marks covered Ji Fenghua's face and hairline, and a faint layer of black smoke rose from his body.
Miwei knew that this was the final state of the demon's dissipation, and this time she was truly anxious.
She yanked Ji Fenghua's arms away, gripping his hands tightly along with the magic crystal, and said angrily, "If you really have something you can't say, then tell me. I'll be able to tell whether it's true or false. Besides, Mi Xi went to so much trouble, crying and begging us to rescue you, and even wanted to take you back to the Hidden Sect, yet you don't even want to see her one last time and just want to die like this. How can you face her?"
Ji Fenghua felt waves of dense demonic energy being forcibly poured into his body.
Mi Wei's face was turning pale at a visible speed.
She was using her spiritual power to activate the magic crystal, forcibly transferring demonic energy to him!
For every bit of demonic energy he receives, she has to expend two or even more of her own spiritual power, and she also risks being corrupted by the demonic energy.
"Sister, you..." Ji Fenghua was shocked. Mi Wei was risking her own life and future to save him!
"I promised Xi'er that I would definitely rescue you safely and bring you back to the Hidden Sect. I don't want to break my promise to her," Mi Wei said casually, as if what she did had nothing to do with him and was only for Mi Xi.
Even so, Ji Fenghua felt the girl's golden kindness.
The girl's eyes were slightly red, and her cheeks, flushed with anger, were as delicate and beautiful as a lotus flower touched by the morning glow, making it impossible to look away.
“Sister…” Ji Fenghua was speechless for a moment. She quickly took the magic stone from her hand and said with red eyes, “I don’t need you. I can do it myself. You should stay away from me.”
Mi Wei staggered back two steps after being swayed by Ji Fenghua. Seeing that he was obediently absorbing the magic crystal, she didn't approach him again.
She moved her pale but youthful lips, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.
Ji Fenghua's face, covered in black marks, and the young boy's sincere and concerned eyes made it difficult for her to utter any more sarcastic words.
Since she was brought back to the Hidden Sect, she hadn't seen such sincere and caring eyes for a long time.
Everyone respects her as the eldest daughter of the Hidden Sect, but she knows that in their hearts, the only true young lady is Mi Xi.
And she, just as Madam Mu Furong said to her behind her back:
She was just a bastard child born on a whim when Mi Feng was away training.
She could never compare to Mi Xi.
Her father, Mi Fenghui, was also devoted to cultivation, spending eight out of ten years in seclusion.
The remaining two years were also occupied by Mu Furong and Mi Xi. It was because she never gave up on cultivation and showed "extraordinary" talent in cultivation that Mi Feng learned about this from others and specially sought her out to praise her.
In this way, she was able to secure her position as the young lady of the Hidden Sect through her strength and humble manner.
The hardships and pain she endured were unknown to outsiders, and she could not share them with them.
Having endured loneliness for over a decade, Mi Wei never expected to feel such long-lost care from a young demon.
“I heard what you just said,” Mi Wei said, trying to soften her voice. Her deliberately cool tone carried an innate sweetness. “You don’t seem to have been born a demon. So how did you become like this? Can you tell me?”
