"Thank you for telling me so much. It has answered my questions," Li Jiuge said and was about to leave when Ji Yunxi called out to her from behind.
"Jiuge, could you please persuade my brother? He really shouldn't go to the battlefield. I'm so worried about him."
Li Jiuge didn't turn around. She glanced at Ji Yunxi from the side and said, "Don't you understand? I have no right to ask him to do or not do anything. This is his own choice, and no one can change it."
"But..."
"The night is deep and the dew is heavy. Go back and rest early," Li Jiuge interrupted her and walked away directly.
A strange feeling flashed through Ji Yunxi's heart, so quickly that it was hardly noticeable. She didn't realize it and just went back to meditate and practice.
Jiang Linyin might launch another attack at any time, and she didn't have time to think about anything else.
The Shennong Clan had won several battles in a row, and Jiang Linyin's prestige soared. Jiang Qingping came to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The rise of the Shennong Clan is just around the corner. I wonder what Your Majesty's next plan is?"
"Of course, it's to get rid of Ji Yunxi," Jiang Linyin said in a gloomy voice like a venomous snake in the jungle. He reached out his hand, and a small bottle of poison lay in his palm.
"Guangling Powder," Jiang Qingping didn't expect to see this thing in his lifetime. Jiang Linyin was truly a genius at making poisons.
"Correct," Jiang Linyin said. He poured the white powder into the water and then put a weapon into it to soak for two days and two nights. Then the task would be accomplished.
"Once the soaking is done, we'll launch another attack."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll make the arrangements immediately."
"Go!" Jiang Linyin waved his hand gently, and the man immediately went out to make the arrangements.
Ji Yunxi practiced according to the method in the ancient book for a few days. Her cultivation had returned to normal, and she was more energetic than before.
"Wow, that old doctor didn't lie to me. This secret manual is really useful. I feel much better," Ji Yunxi said.
"Stop practicing. Come and have a rest," Feng Xingzhi brought her some fruits.
"Okay, I'm coming," Ji Yunxi put down her sword and ran towards him. Feng Xingzhi saw the dense sweat on her forehead and wiped it off with his sleeve.
"Your wound hasn't healed yet. Don't overwork yourself."
"Okay, okay," Ji Yunxi said guiltily. She didn't dare to tell him that she had secretly practiced the secret manual and kept stuffing fruits into her mouth.
"This fruit is so sweet."
"Eat slowly."
"Okay, okay."
Li Jiuge rushed over in a hurry. She wanted to tell Ji Yunxi that the army of the Shennong Clan was coming again. But when she saw this scene, she stopped abruptly.
Forget it. Let them have a little more time alone. It's not too late to tell them later.
She leaned against the tent with her arms crossed. Although she didn't look at them, she kept listening to their movements.
"Report! The army of the Shennong Clan is about to launch another attack!" a guard reported to Feng Xingzhi in a hurry.
Ji Yunxi stopped eating the fruit. "Wait for me. I'll go too."
"You should have a good rest. Don't go anywhere."
"No. You go first. I'll come later."
Feng Xingzhi stopped and used his divine power to turn into a rope and tie Ji Yunxi up.
"Hey, Feng Xingzhi, what are you doing? Are you trying to harm your future wife? If you do this, I won't marry you," Ji Yunxi said.
Ji Yunxi was tied back to her own tent. Feng Xingzhi released the spell. Ji Yunxi stood up and was about to run, but she found that there was a barrier outside the tent.
"I've set up a barrier. Don't run around."
"Hey, hey, come back and untie it for me, Feng Xingzhi!"
Li Jiuge didn't dare to show up until Feng Xingzhi left. Ji Yunxi was very happy to see her and motioned for her to help her untie the barrier.
"I'll cast the spell from the outside. Let's do it together."
"Okay!"
The two of them worked together to cast the spell and finally untied the barrier. They rushed to the battlefield in a hurry. At this time, the battle was fierce, and the Xuanyuan Clan and the Shennong Clan were barely evenly matched.
Feng Xingzhi sensed it when they untied the barrier. When he saw the two of them, he also understood that it was Li Jiuge who had helped Ji Yunxi open the barrier.
"Li Jiuge, what do you mean by this?" Feng Xingzhi leaped into the air, waved his sword to kill the enemy in front of Ji Yunxi, and looked at Li Jiuge angrily.
Li Jiuge ignored his anger and just focused on killing the enemy.
"I came here on my own," Ji Yunxi avoided the enemy's attack and gave him a fatal blow.
When Jiang Linyin saw Ji Yunxi, he became excited. He frequently targeted Ji Yunxi. At this time, Feng Xingzhi was restrained by others and couldn't spare the time to help Ji Yunxi. He told her to be careful and then continued to fight.
Ji Yunxi had felt energetic after practicing the secret manual these days, but she couldn't fight for a long time. She gradually felt exhausted.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Jiang Linyin's eyes. He tightened his arm and launched a full - force attack.
"Yunxi!"
Feng Xingzhi, who couldn't reach in time, panicked. Qing Xuan also sensed something and looked back in her direction. Ji Zhuanxu also came over when he saw the danger from the corner of his eye, but it was too late for everyone.
The war had destroyed people's homes. They carried their bags and set off on a long journey. People said that punishment should be used to stop punishment, but along the way, they always seemed to be losing. Whose blood had dyed the sky red? The howling in the wind seemed to be a whimper, telling the past and complaining about the unfairness of the Heavenly Way. But in this world, it was hard to have perfection.
Ji Yunxi opened her eyes again. Li Jiuge was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from the wound.
"Jiuge!" Ji Yunxi wanted to rush over and hug her, but a figure got there before her.
Ji Zhuanxu waved his sleeve, and a light shield surrounded him, Li Jiuge, and Ji Yunxi. "Jiuge, I'll stop the bleeding for you. Does it hurt?"
"It's useless. Don't waste your divine power," Li Jiuge said weakly, raising her hand to touch his cheek. "It's so good that I can touch you one more time."
"Don't talk nonsense. After we get married in the future, I'll let you touch me every day," Ji Zhuanxu's eyes were red. He continuously transferred his divine power to her.
Li Jiuge interrupted his action. "Don't waste it. I hope you'll be happy, even without me by your side. Promise me, okay?"
Ji Zhuanxu's tears couldn't stop flowing. His voice was pleading. "Okay, I promise you. As long as you stay with me, I'll promise you anything."
"Why are you so badly injured? It shouldn't be like this. How could this happen? Brother, save Jiuge. Save her!" Ji Yunxi knelt beside Li Jiuge, looking at her pale face in panic. Her outstretched hand hesitated to touch her. Li Jiuge grabbed her hand.
"Yunxi, can you guarantee the normal life of the Jiuli people in the future?"
Ji Yunxi nodded quickly. "I can. I can guarantee it. You've always hoped that the Jiuli people could live in the sun openly. It will come true soon."
"The sun is so good today. It's a pity that I won't be able to see it in the future. Yunxi, don't be sad. I did this voluntarily. From the moment I borrowed your divine power, only one of us could survive."
Ji Yunxi slumped on the ground. It seemed that the blood in her whole body had stopped flowing. Her mind was blank, and she murmured, "Why is this happening?"
