Upon hearing this, Ji Fengxiao carefully examined Ji Fenghua several times and said, "No, you are still you, my twin brother."
"But..." Ji Fenghua hesitated for a long time before struggling to say, "I always feel that I am different from before, Fengxiao. I feel that there is something between me and everyone, between me and you. I don't know how to describe that feeling, but... it's very uncomfortable!"
"What did those monsters do to you when we separated?" Ji Fengxiao frowned and guessed.
"I don't know. I've carefully examined myself internally and found nothing wrong," Ji Fenghua said hesitantly, shaking her head.
“We’ll go and tell my sister that her master is a deity, and if you do anything wrong, she will definitely be able to find out.”
Ji Fengxiao tried to get up by pulling Ji Fenghua, but Ji Fenghua held him back.
Ji Fengxiao asked, puzzled, "What?"
Ji Fenghua pulled him back to sit down beside her and whispered, "Forget it, everyone is already sad enough right now, especially you and your brother-in-law. Don't bother your sister with these baseless rumors. Maybe it's because I just came out of that secret passage, went through a life-or-death ordeal, and now I'm about to face the separation of my family. I'm in a bad mood, so I feel like nothing is right."
“I think so too. We are twins, and our connection is always stronger than that of others. Apart from you being in a bad mood, I haven’t sensed anything else. You must be overthinking it,” Ji Fengxiao said, affectionately putting his arm around Ji Fenghua’s shoulder to comfort him.
He didn't tell Ji Fenghua that he wasn't actually oblivious to everything.
He sensed a faint distance between himself and Ji Fenghua.
It's like two people who used to be so close and without any barriers suddenly have a thin film between them.
But Ji Fengxiao didn't say it because he felt it might be the sorrow of parting and he didn't want to add to Ji Fenghua's burden by saying it.
Hearing him say that, Ji Fenghua felt a little better and nodded slightly.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao hadn't arrived yet, so Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao's group simply left the Yin River and went up the cliff that night.
Ji Fengyao and Zhao Qinglian worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
Everyone sat on the trembling grass, under a sky full of stars and by the campfire, enjoying a sumptuous meal and drinking to their hearts' content.
Without Ji Fengming and Cao Xiaosi, those two lively characters who would cover the sky if it fell, Xique didn't talk much anymore.
Even the usually boisterous Ghost Face lay quietly beside Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao. It occasionally swished its tail, its dark fur drooping obediently for the first time, revealing a sadness that was completely out of character for it—from now on, when the male and female masters are not around, it will have to hunt for itself like an animal, becoming a wild beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood!
How could it, the only Yazi beast in the entire universe, one day have to associate with wild beasts and even compete with monsters for food?
Is there anything more miserable, more tragic, or more degrading than this?!
"Awoo..."
Overwhelmed by sorrow, Ghost Face couldn't help but let out a soft sob.
Shang Xiye glanced down at it and then tossed a bundle of something in front of it with a "thud".
Ghost Face thought it was some kind of treasure.
With a jerk of its neck fur, a whole bunch of flattery rushed to its mouth, only then did it realize that the bundle at its mouth was actually a bundle of tinderboxes.
"If you don't want to be a wild beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood, then learn to make a fire yourself. I believe you can do it," Shang Xiye said with a faint smile.
