Perhaps Ji Yunxi's words had distracted Jiang Yaoji. For a moment, she was in a daze and her movements slowed down.
Feng Xingzhi seized the opportunity. With a flick of his wrist, he stabbed Jiang Yaoji from a tricky angle.
She immediately felt a sharp pain in her body. Feng Xingzhi had really struck hard.
Her eyes turned red. She really wanted to ask Feng Xingzhi if he really wanted to kill her, and a chill ran through her heart.
But Feng Xingzhi couldn't think about that much. This was the perfect time to kill Jiang Yaoji. He immediately tightened his grip on Nianfeng and rushed straight towards Jiang Yaoji's chest.
Just as Feng Xingzhi was about to take this opportunity to kill Jiang Yaoji, Yu Mingyi suddenly shouted, "Father!"
Ji Yunxi looked up and saw Yu Shaoguang leading a group of people rushing over. Yu Mingyi's shouting also distracted Feng Xingzhi. Seeing this, Jiang Yaoji immediately fled without daring to stay for a moment.
Ji Yunxi watched as Jiang Yaoji ran away. Afraid that this was a ruse to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Feng Xingzhi could only secretly give up. He was a bit angry and disappointed. He had been so close.
Jiang Yaoji quickly disappeared from sight, and Yu Mingyi shut up.
Ji Yunxi immediately understood. What was the point of this? Yu Mingyi had shouted on purpose to distract Feng Xingzhi and help Jiang Yaoji escape.
She felt helpless. "Yu Mingyi, is this really necessary? Even if Jiang Yaoji has run away, you're still in our hands. Moreover, she didn't seem to want to save you just now, did she?"
Yu Mingyi looked nonchalant. "Really? But I don't care. If Jiang Yaoji dies, I'll have to fight alone again in the future."
The reason was simple and stupid.
Yu Shaoguang approached and was shocked to find his son tied up in Ji Yunxi's hands.
"Miss Ji, what are you doing?"
Ji Yunxi looked at him coldly. She didn't believe that Yu Shaoguang had nothing to do with all this. Even if he was really unaware, there was a saying that "failure to discipline a son is the father's fault."
He had played a significant role in Yu Mingyi becoming like this.
Feng Xingzhi had already come to Ji Yunxi's side. Together with Jing Weiwei and the others, they protected Ji Yunxi from other directions.
"Withdraw all your men. I'll let Yu Mingyi return safely when they're gone."
Yu Shaoguang only had this one son, so he had no choice but to agree.
"All of you, step back!"
As Yu Shaoguang spoke, he kept an eye on Ji Yunxi's side with his eyes.
The general of the Merman Clan thought that there were only a few of them. How could they possibly not be able to defeat them? They should go forward and kill them directly.
But Yu Shaoguang didn't think so. He had seen the strength of these people. Two of them were comparable to a thousand troops.
Moreover, their son was in their hands. If they made any move, Yu Mingyi's life would definitely be in danger. After all, Ji Yunxi had no feelings for him at all.
She might even hate him a great deal.
Watching the Merman Clan's people slowly retreat, Ji Yunxi then led everyone away.
However, just as they turned around, they heard a song coming from behind. Feng Xingzhi's face changed drastically. He quickly wanted to remind Ji Yunxi to cover her ears, but it was too late.
The shrill song made everyone feel dizzy. Yu Mingyi seized the opportunity, pushed Ji Yunxi away forcefully, and snatched the sword from her hand.
Ji Yunxi was dazed. She felt something being snatched from her hand. Although she was anxious, there was nothing she could do.
The God - Slaying Blade was now in Yu Mingyi's hands. Feng Xingzhi and the others were shocked when they saw this. This was no ordinary thing. If a person with divine power was injured by the God - Slaying Blade, their divine power would leak out continuously.
Yu Shaoguang looked at the thing in his hand and subconsciously felt that he was full of strength.
He was very excited, and the light in his eyes was terrifying.
"Ji Yunxi." Yu Mingyi didn't rush up to hurt them immediately. Instead, he called out Ji Yunxi's name.
He could never let go of the shame of being publicly humiliated that day.
He also couldn't let go of the fact that he had fallen in love with someone for the first time, but there was not even the slightest possibility.
"Ji Yunxi, if you had met me first, would things have been different?"
Ji Yunxi didn't want to hurt him, but she knew that she had to cut off Yu Mingyi's feelings for her. Otherwise, he would become a poison, pester them, and keep causing trouble.
"Yu Mingyi, my not liking you has nothing to do with who I met first. We're simply not suitable. You're from the Merman Clan, while I'm just a human. Are you being worthy of your clan by doing this?"
Yu Mingyi roared angrily, "It's just a clan. Is it really that difficult?!"
Ji Yunxi spread out her palms helplessly. "It is that difficult, Yu Mingyi. You enjoy all the privileges of being a prince, but you're not willing to make the slightest sacrifice for the crown on your head. It's just asking you to give up the position of the person you love. Do you think you're being wronged?"
Yu Mingyi sneered. "I'm the prince. Why can't I get what I want?"
Feng Xingzhi frowned. "Xixi is a person, not an item. How can you say it's something you want?"
It was hard to tell whether Yu Mingyi really understood or not. In his mind since childhood, he would always be given whatever he wanted. So suddenly not being able to get it was the most torturous thing.
In fact, it was doubtful whether he really loved Ji Yunxi that much. Maybe what he loved was just Ji Yunxi's status, the Ji Yunxi who was worthy of his status as a merman prince.
"Ji Yunxi, I thought I was good to you. Why are you treating me like this? There are so many people, but you made me marry a maid!"
Ji Yunxi was very helpless. "What can I do? You insisted on forcing me to marry you. Naturally, I had to find a way. Isn't all this caused by you?"
Yu Mingyi would never admit that he was wrong. Immediately, his face darkened.
"Ji Yunxi, I don't want to say anything else. I just want to ask you one thing. Have you ever been attracted to me?"
Yu Xiaobei listened on one side, feeling extremely sad. She had done so much for Yu Mingyi, but in the end, he still had eyes only for Ji Yunxi and didn't even put her in his eyes.
Why did that Ji Yunxi, who had hurt him all the time, deserve all the favor?
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Yu Shaoguang secretly resented Yu Mingyi for causing him trouble again and again, and at the same time, he thought that Ji Yunxi was not a good person either. If she hadn't seduced his son, why would his son be so infatuated with her?
Ji Yunxi didn't want to entangle any longer and took a step back. However, Yu Mingyi refused to let her go and immediately chased after her.
Of course, he couldn't catch up, but he refused to give up. Since he couldn't have her, why could she and Feng Xingzhi be together?
That was really unfair.
Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind and stabbed Ji Yunxi forcefully with the God - Slaying Blade in his hand.
He stabbed so hard that the sound of the sword flying was very loud, hitting everyone's hearts. Feng Xingzhi was shocked. He didn't have time to stop it and could only watch helplessly as it approached, wishing he could take the sword for Ji Yunxi.
