The young man said faintly, "I'm only guessing about this. I can't be sure that the other party has other reinforcements. Even their own families won't come to their aid. How many connections can the two young ladies have by themselves? What kind of powerful help can they have? "
"As for letting that monkey go, whether it's useful or not, it's still an additional opportunity. Variables can be beneficial to others or beneficial to oneself. Let's wait for time to prove it! "
"Yes!"
…
"Sister Lan, we've broken out of the encirclement once again. We have a short time to rest …" Ji Lingxi gritted her teeth. "That bastard must have purposely let us go."
Yue Rulan said weakly, "No matter what, it's a good thing that we're out. Lingxi, your monkey … how many days has it been since he left? "
Ji Lingxi replied, "It's been four days. He should be in Tiantang City by now. Sigh, I don't know if this is the right thing to do … I have a feeling that this will implicate him … That person's actions are perverse, but his ability is even more formidable … Even if he comes, will it be of any use? "
Yue Rulan said softly, "We're out of ideas now that things have come to this. We can only pin our hopes on this one and only hope … If we don't do this, it'll be an extravagant hope for us to even last until this point. If even our hearts break down … then there'll really be no hope left. "
"Also … I hope that I can leave you with some inspiration … No matter what the situation is, no matter how hopeless life is right now … there's still a chance to meet …"
Yue Rulan spoke in a low voice, a glint of sadness flashing across her eyes.
Ji Lingxi was troubled.
If Yun Yang really came to save her, it would definitely be a good thing for both of them.
However, these people were exceptionally valiant. How could Yun Yang be their opponent with his cultivation base? He would only be sending himself to his death if he came!
In spite of this, if Yun Yang completely ignored her pleas for help and did not come to save her, Ji Lingxi would be filled with despair.
"Sister Lan, do you think that I'm conflicted?"
Ji Lingxi sighed. "I'm hoping that he'll come, but I'm also hoping that he won't. If he comes, my heart will ache, but if he doesn't, I'll be filled with despair …"
Yue Rulan smiled faintly. "He will definitely come."
Ji Lingxi's eyes brightened. "If he really comes … how can we ensure his safety?"
Yue Rulan said slowly, "Where there is a will, there will always be a way."
"What is it?" asked Ji Lingxi.
Yue Rulan did not speak, remaining silent instead.
Naturally, there was a way.
I will appear and feign civility. I will first use myself as the price to let you go. If it really doesn't work, I'll die in front of them, using my death to exchange for your lives.
Since he wants to marry me, he can't really force me to my death, right?
That way, as long as you have a bit of buffer time, you can think of a way to escape or something else … And that is the only thing I can fight for for you.
It was also under such circumstances that the two of them could truly be together!
Truly, obtain happiness!
Although it may not be very long, it ultimately depends on how you do it …
But how could she say her thoughts out loud!
"Let's go look for something to eat up ahead …" Ji Lingxi rubbed her tummy, a troubled expression on her face. "I'm starving."
Yue Rulan smiled. "Let's go then. Let's take advantage of the time this devil has given us to rest and reorganize ourselves."
Ji Lingxi carried Yue Rulan on her back and stepped swiftly into a small village ahead.
Although they knew that both of them had a certain amount of time to rest, they dared not linger. If they stayed too long in the small village, they would bring disaster to the peaceful village.
They had experienced something similar before!
…
"They've entered the small village?" The young man stood on the treetop of a big tree on the hilltop, looking at the small village where smoke was rising from the chimneys. His voice was soft and ethereal.
"Yes."
"Hmm. According to their habits, I'm afraid they'll prepare seven to ten days' worth of food this time …"
The young man said, "When they come out and fight each other, you must be careful not to spoil their food. It won't be fun if they fight us on an empty stomach."
"Yes."
Less than the time it took to burn an incense stick later, Ji Lingxi sneaked out from the other side of the small village at the foot of the hill with Yue Rulan on her back.
"They're out. Young lord, should we chase after them and kill them?"
The young man watched calmly and said faintly, "There's no need to be so forceful. Give them some time to recover. Try to create the illusion that they've escaped the encirclement and are safe."
"Wait until they feel completely safe and let down their guard before you strike. Only then can you strike their confidence and spirit to the greatest extent. "
"Young lord is wise!"
The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker. The northern wind seemed to be frozen as it blew weakly.
Small flakes of snow began to fall.
The first snow of the year was about to arrive.
Yun Yang, who had received the message that Ji Lingxi was in danger, had rushed over anxiously.
Ji Lingxi was his eighth brother's younger sister, which meant that she was Yun Yang's own younger sister. Her safety was more than enough to take precedence over everything else. There was also Yue Rulan, his eighth brother's fiancée and his own eighth sister-in-law. Yun Yang had to rush over as fast as he could when both of them were in danger.
The wind howled as a white cloud sped through the sky in an unusual manner.
Hard snowflakes hammered into the clouds.
It was a sign that a heavy snow was about to fall. Tianxuan Continent called such a phenomenon 'snow ball'.
If one were to look up from the ground, all one could see would be a sea of white.
Yun Yang turned into the wind and sped to the rescue. He had been on the road for a whole day, but he had yet to arrive.
Yun Yang was extremely thankful that he had gifted Ji Lingxi a treasured saber back then and had infused the mystical Qi of the Endless Divine Art into the saber's spirituality, facilitating the fate between Ji Lingxi and the saber.
Seeing the Thousand Illusion Monkey appear before him covered in wounds, Yun Yang's first feeling was that his heart was about to explode.
Ji Lingxi was his eighth brother's younger sister!
Yue Rulan was his eighth brother's fiancée!
Something had just happened to Yun Zuiyue. Before he could confirm what was going on and if there was a chance for a turnaround, Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan had already received an alarm!
Could it be that the heavens could not bear to see the Nine Supremes doing well?
Yun Yang was infuriated, his heart trembling with anxiety.
He did not even have the time to inform the others before he swept the Thousand Illusion Monkey up and sped in the direction the monkey had pointed.
It took only a blink of an eye for him to be out of Tiantang City. It was only then that he realized that Whitey Two, Whitey Three, and Whitey Four were sleeping on him.
It seemed like he had left in too much of a hurry, so he didn't realize that the Whiteys were still clinging to him due to inertia, and they were still there. The oncoming cold air caused the three Whiteys to tremble and open their eyes.
"Meow …"
The three Whiteys were dumbfounded by the current situation.
How did they end up in the air when they woke up? Could they be flying now?
Why was it so cold?
And what were these white things that were floating in the air?
Master, slow down, Whitey is so cold, meow …
…
The Thousand Illusion Monkey widened its eyes, allowing its red buttocks to be chilled by the wind to the point of being frozen. Its face, however, was filled with human-like anxiety.
It had been such a long time, how was its master?
…
Ji Lingxi was already feeling helpless and hopeless.
There was almost no interruption in the battle. Hidden weapons were constantly aimed at her face. Ji Lingxi could only defend with all her might and fight with all her might. She mustered every ounce of energy she had and squeezed every ounce of energy out of her to contend with the enemy.
If these people had only wanted to kill her, she might have given up a long time ago. If she could just end her life right now, it would not be a bad thing for her.
However, these bastards actually wanted to disfigure her!
How could they tolerate this?!?
Being toyed with like this … it was exhausting!
No matter how indignant she was, the feeling of being physically and mentally exhausted was too much to bear.
"Be it a marriage proposal or a forced marriage … why did they have to hunt us down? It would have been fine if they only wanted to kill us, but why did they have to disfigure us again and again? "
Ji Lingxi mumbled as she ran, "Could it be that this bastard is not only a pervert? His preferences are even more perverted, and he likes disfigured women? "
Yue Rulan rolled her eyes on her back.
How should she put it? She believed that the other party's real goal was not to disfigure them. The so-called disfigurement attacks were probably just a method to continue pressuring them, a process to further destroy their will. They must have another goal, and it must be something big. It was just that they had yet to figure it out …
…
"This girl is really resilient!" The young man looked at Ji Lingxi who was still running with all her might. "Her potential is amazing!"
The black-robed elder beside him said with a solemn gaze, "Congratulations, young lord. From what we can see now, this girl's will has yet to crumble despite being in such a state. Be it her endurance or her temperament, they are all top-notch. Young lord, the benefits you will reap will far exceed our initial estimation!"
The young man nodded slowly and said, "I think so too. This effort is worth it. What a small investment."
Along with the passage of time, the snowflakes in the sky became denser and denser. The young man raised his head to take a look and said, "This girl is becoming more and more slippery. The snow is about to arrive, so we can't allow her to take advantage of the snow to escape. If she really escapes, then all the preparations we've made would have been in vain."
The black-robed elder nodded. "I understand. Nothing must go wrong."
The old man agreed, but in his heart, he was thinking, Young Master never cared about the possibility of his prey escaping. But this time, he made an exception for this woman. From this, it could be seen that Young Master cared about this woman to the point of worrying about personal gains and losses. Then, the target this time really couldn't be lost.
"Everyone, come closer. Close all the gaps in the encirclement!"
The heavy snow finally began to fall from the sky.
…
'Hmph, my wife bought so many grapes and ate them one by one in front of me, knowing that my stomach doesn't taste good. She knows I'll have diarrhea if I eat grapes. 'Is she trying to frame me? '
