"Yao'er...!" Ji Chenhai called out to Ji Fengyao as soon as he stepped into the tent. Seeing her lying unconscious on the bed, he immediately took two quick steps forward and asked, "What's wrong with Yao'er?"
"It's nothing, she's just exhausted and has fallen into a deep sleep," Shang Xiye said.
"Exhausted?!" Ji Chenhai's eyes widened as he glared fiercely at Shang Xiye.
"Father, we wiped out the Black Purgatory's lair!" Ji Fengming quickly stepped forward to explain, "My sister was exhausted when we wiped out the Black Purgatory."
Ji Chenhai stared blankly at Ji Fengming, then looked back at the unconscious Ji Fengming, then at Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao, remaining silent for a long time.
After holding back for a while, he finally reached out and smacked Ji Fengming on the back of the head: "You brat, you think you're all grown up now! Such a big thing as wiping out the Black Purgatory, and you secretly took your sister there without even telling your old man. If something happens, how am I supposed to explain this to your mother!"
"Nothing happened, right..." Ji Fengming rubbed the back of his head, which was throbbing from being slapped, and muttered angrily.
"You're still being stubborn...!"
Ji Chenhai raised his hand to slap Feng Ming, but Hei Xiao stopped him: "Uncle Ji, this is not Feng Ming's fault. If you want to hit someone, hit me. Feng Ming insisted on going to wipe out Black Purgatory for my sake and kept it from you."
“Yes, father-in-law, this is not Fengming’s fault. He and Yaoyao did it all for me and Hei Xiao,” Shang Xiye also stood up and advised.
Ji Chenhai glanced at Hei Xiao, then at Shang Xiye, and finally calmed down a bit. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's go, let's find somewhere else to talk, so as not to disturb Yao'er's rest."
All three nodded.
Shang Xiye carefully tucked the blanket around Ji Fengyao again and turned up the fire in the brazier to make sure she wouldn't get cold. Only then did he, Hei Xiao, and Ji Fengming follow Ji Chenhai out.
Shang Beiyu sat on a tall tree nearby.
After Ji Chenhai, Shang Xiye and the other two left, he landed like a night bird that quietly entered the night, without even taking the snowflakes off the tree.
He slipped into Ji Fengyao's tent, warmed his hands in front of the charcoal brazier, and then sat down beside her bed, gently taking her soft little hand and placing two fingers on her pulse point.
"Spiritual energy depletion? You actually cultivate spiritual energy too?" Shang Beiyu looked at Ji Fengyao's slightly pale, yet pitiful and distressing face with surprise.
Last time, he was only focused on helping her suppress her escaping soul, and since she was delirious and constantly disturbing his mind, he didn't investigate her condition carefully.
Now that their two fingers were touching, he discovered that she also knew how to cultivate and had already begun to practice, although her cultivation level was not high, only at the fourth level of the Spirit Gathering stage.
But this already shows that she is no ordinary mortal woman!
"Where does your soul come from?"
Shang Beiyu became increasingly curious about Ji Fengyao. Knowing that she was no ordinary woman and would embark on a long path of cultivation, his anticipation grew even stronger.
If she has a long life, it means she can wait for him;
Once he has arranged everything;
Then they will be able to stay together forever and become a perfect couple.
However, we need to find a way to end her current karmic ties with the Ninth Prince, otherwise, leaving behind karmic consequences will be detrimental to her future cultivation.
He had suffered greatly under the sway of fate, and he could not allow her to fall into such a desperate situation.
Shang Beiyu gently stroked Ji Fengyao's smooth face with his fingers and murmured, "Don't worry, I am not a vulgar person, I will definitely protect you."
