In the desert, there was no rooster crowing, but the sound of barking dogs.
Ji Yunxi was woken up. Her mind was still hazy, but it no longer hurt.
Feng Xingzhi was looking worried. But when he saw her wake up, he immediately hid this emotion.
Ji Yunxi immediately wanted to throw herself into Feng Xingzhi's arms. But then she saw her brother standing on one side.
Remembering Ji Yunyi's teasing, Ji Yunxi retracted her hand in embarrassment. She did not dare to throw herself into his arms.
Her little actions were seen by Ji Yunyi. He thought, 'As expected, when a girl grows up, she'll marry. Now that she's received the imperial edict, my sister is someone else's!'
He gave a small grunt to show his dissatisfaction. Ji Yunyi turned his head away.
Ji Yunxi understood him. She knew that he was telling her to control herself.
Ji Yunxi found her second brother's awkwardness funny. She quietly stretched out her finger. With a look of grievance, she touched Feng Xingzhi's hand while hiding from Ji Yunyi.
Feng Xingzhi felt the warmth on his hand. He turned his hand over without changing his expression and grabbed her hand. The occasional rubbing made Ji Yunxi blush.
Ji Yunyi just turned his head around and saw Feng Xingzhi holding his sister's hand. Feng Xingzhi looked like he was saying, 'What can you do about it?'
He sighed. Ji Yunyi changed the topic, lest he be angered to death: "Yunxi, how do you feel now? Are you still uncomfortable?"
"Second brother, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"What happened last night? When I woke up, I heard that you fainted again."
Ji Yunyi did not know anything about last night. Only this morning, Feng Xingzhi sent someone to find him, saying that Ji Yunxi was not feeling well.
Ji Yunxi said, "Last night, my head hurt. I do not know how I fainted. I have worried the Prince and big brother, but I am fine now."
"Even though this is so, we have to obtain the Seven Leaf Star Fruit as soon as possible!" When Ji Yunyi thought about how Ji Yunxi fell on the ground last night and did not wake up, his heart felt a dull ache.
If he knew who poisoned his little sister, he would make sure the person looked good!
Looking at his brother's indignation, Ji Yunxi was silent.
Last night, the black shadow showed her. Her headache was because two powers were fighting against each other. It was not because of the poison. However, she did not know what the poison on her body was. It still had to be removed.
When he saw her silent, Feng Xingzhi seemed to have something to say. But for some reason, he held it back.
Ji Yunxi keenly noticed his strangeness. She looked at him curiously.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
While Feng Xingzhi was sighing at her keenness, he shook his head and denied: "It's nothing. I just feel that what Second Brother said is correct. The poison in your body is a huge problem. We must resolve it as soon as possible."
His answer seemed seamless. But for some reason, Ji Yunxi felt that Feng Xingzhi wanted to say something else. He was hiding something from her.
She frowned slightly. She was not someone who liked to break the casserole and ask to the end. Although Feng Xingzhi was her future husband, it was understandable that the other party had secrets.
But she felt uncomfortable.
Ji Yunxi retracted her hand. She was slightly unhappy.
Feng Xingzhi did not understand what happened. His face was a little dull.
"Xixi, did I squeeze you too hard?" Feng Xingzhi's cautious appearance made Ji Yunxi's heart soften.
"Your Highness is joking. I just feel a little hot."
Ji Yunyi could not stand it. He was not married yet, but he was already eating his sister and brother-in-law's dog food?
This was definitely not okay!
"Your Highness, Ji has something to discuss with Your Highness. Why don't you let Yunxi rest first?"
Feng Xingzhi looked at Ji Yunxi reluctantly. When he saw that she did not stop him, he could only sigh: "Second Brother is too polite. Let's go."
The wooden door creaked and closed. Only Ji Yunxi was left.
Ji Yunxi was in a daze. She saw the smoke around her slowly rising, circling, and condensing.
Finally, it became the smoke from last night. Different from the black shadow last night, sunlight shone in. This shadow was almost transparent. It did not have a human form. Then, it slowly approached Ji Yunxi.
Now that Ji Yunxi was awake, she thought about everything from last night. She immediately asked, "Who are you?"
"You're asking who I am?! Master!! Don't you recognize me? Don't you remember me?!"
The shadow seemed very excited. Its voice was surprisingly loud. It almost screamed out.
Ji Yunxi kept shaking her head. She had never seen such a cloud of qi. She could not even tell if it was good or bad. She could not see anything clearly.
The shadow swayed from side to side. Sometimes it was at Ji Yunxi's bedside. Sometimes it was at the foot of the bed.
"How could you forget? How could Master forget me!" The shadow kept muttering. First, it was very wronged.
Ji Yunxi was dizzy from his turning. She quickly stopped him: "Alright, can't you just tell me who you are? Why do you have to hold on to the past and never forget it?"
"My name is Qing Xuan. My original form is a blue bird. I am your contracted spirit beast."
"My contracted spirit beast?!"
Ji Yunxi did not remember him at all. She had never had a contracted spirit beast. Although her spiritual energy and cultivation could be ranked in the capital, in the end, obtaining a spirit beast was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
Not to mention a blue bird with unfathomable cultivation.
"Don't you believe me? I'm really your spirit beast!" The shadow saw that after she exclaimed, she did not say anything else. Its heart turned cold.
It did not expect that after he finally found his master, his master did not remember him at all. Qing Xuan only felt that he was the most miserable spirit beast.
Ji Yunxi seemed to be able to feel Qing Xuan's collapse. She suspected in her heart. Did she really have a contracted spirit beast?
She secretly mobilized the spiritual energy in her body to investigate everywhere. When she reached the back of her neck, a burst of warmth came. It faintly carried a burning feeling. Ji Yunxi could not see it, but she could feel that it was a talisman seal.
There was really a spirit beast contract!
As the light gradually appeared, Qing Xuan's blurry figure became clearer.
Qing Xuan felt the contract mark heat up slightly. He was quite proud: "How is it? I didn't lie to you, right? There is really a contract between us. You are my master!"
Qing Xuan's emotions were visibly happy.
Ji Yunxi thought, why did her spirit beast look like it was not very smart?
Qing Xuan did not know that his master already suspected his intelligence. He was still smiling foolishly.
"I finally found my master!"
Although Ji Yunxi was a little disgusted, she was finally amused by this guy.
Afraid of hurting her spirit beast's heart, Ji Yunxi did not say it out. Instead, she asked, "After I fainted last night, did anything else happen?"
Qing Xuan said, "There was nothing special. It's just that the young master sitting beside you today rushed in when he heard the sound. It was him who saved you."
Feng Xingzhi?!
"Impossible!"
Ji Yunxi was shocked when she heard this. Feng Xingzhi was a sickly person. Even Ji Yuyan looked down on him. She refused to marry him no matter what.
How could it be him who saved her?
