After hearing Kun Wu's words, Ji Ke's eyes instantly dimmed.
Although, she had already expected this result.
The Ice Dragon Hammer was the Demon Clan's most precious treasure. How could she borrow it just because she wanted to?
However, before she came to Kun Wu Palace, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Now that she heard Kun Wu's reply, the glimmer of hope in her heart was instantly shattered, and her heart was filled with a deep sense of loss.
She stood there dejectedly and muttered in her heart, "Am I really so useless that I can't help Big Brother Tianxing no matter what?
Big Brother Tianxing has done so much for me, and even risked his life to protect me.
However, I can't do anything when he's in trouble and danger. I can't help him at all … "
Ji Ke pursed her lips, and a determined look flashed across her eyes.
Then, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She knelt down in front of Kun Wu and pleaded, "Your Highness Kun Wu, you're a noble prince, the heir to the Demon Clan's Imperial Court, and the future Demon Emperor!
I know that as long as you're willing to help me, you'll have a way to persuade the Demon Emperor. I'll definitely be able to borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer, right?
Ke Ke, please help me this time. I only need to borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer for a few days. I beg you to help me … "
Kun Wu clearly didn't expect Ji Ke to kneel down and beg him.
He hurriedly stood up and reached out to help Ji Ke up. He sighed with a complicated expression. "Sigh … Ke Ke, why do you have to do this?"
Ji Ke looked at him with a burning gaze, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of hope. She asked, "Your Highness Kun Wu, you're willing to help me, right?"
Kun Wu nodded slightly and said in a serious tone, "Ke Ke, it's not that there's no way, but it requires your cooperation."
When Ji Ke heard that there was a way, she immediately revealed a trace of joy and nodded without hesitation.
"Your Highness Kun Wu, as long as you can help me borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer, I'm willing to cooperate no matter what you want me to do!"
Kun Wu was startled again when he heard this. He chuckled and asked, "Ke Ke, you silly girl. How can you agree so hastily?
What if my request is disadvantageous to you? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt? "
Ji Ke was silent and didn't speak, but she looked at him with a firm gaze, which contained a touch of trust.
Kun Wu understood her eyes and felt warm in his heart. He reminded her in a serious tone, "Ke Ke, you have to remember, in the future, except for me and the people closest to you, if someone else says such words, you must not agree easily. You must consider it carefully!"
Ji Ke nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. Ke will remember it."
Only then did Kun Wu return to her rattan chair. She smiled and said, "Alright, you don't have to be so nervous.
In fact, what I need you to do is very simple. You don't need to take any risks, and you don't need to pay any price.
You just need to make a trip back to the Demon Race with me to confirm one thing. "
Ji Ke revealed a puzzled expression and asked subconsciously, "Your Highness, what did you confirm?"
Kun Wu chuckled and shook his head, "I can't tell you about this for the time being. After you return to the Demon Clan with me, you will naturally understand.
Also, there's something I have to tell you in advance.
Even if you do as I ask, I can't guarantee that you will be able to borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer. It's just that there's a higher chance of success. "
Ji Ke frowned and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Although she might not be able to borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer.
As long as there was a chance of success, she had to try.
She didn't want to be a useless burden that would only burden Ji Tianxing and not be able to help him.
"Your Highness Kun Wu, I promise you! When do you plan to bring me back to the Demon Race? "
Kun Wu smiled and nodded. "I've been very free recently and have nothing to do. I can return to the Demon Race at any time.
You can go back and prepare first. When you are ready, come and find me. "
Ji Ke immediately agreed and said seriously, "Alright, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Then, she bowed to Kun Wu and left the study room.
Kun Wu sat alone in the study room and watched her leave. Her lips curled into a smile as she muttered softly, "That's great! I've been waiting for this day!
Ke Ke finally believes in me and is willing to return to the Demon Race with me. The answer will be revealed soon! "
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a look of strong anticipation.
…
After Ji Ke left Kun Wu Palace, she quietly returned to Tianxing Palace.
After returning to her residence, she simply packed her things and prepared her luggage.
She asked the palace maids and learned that Ji Tianxing was resting in a secret room. Then, she waited patiently for an entire day.
The next morning, she rushed to Ji Tianxing's residence.
Ji Tianxing had just finished his meditation when he saw her enter the room. She seemed to have something on her mind.
Thus, he asked in a concerned tone, "Ke Ke, why did you come to find me so early in the morning? Is there something wrong?"
Ji Ke nodded and said, "Big Brother Tianxing, I'm here today to bid you farewell. I might have to leave for a long time …"
"You're leaving the Imperial Residence?" Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and asked worriedly, "Ke Ke, other than the Imperial Residence which is still considered safe, it's very dangerous outside.
Why do you want to leave at this time? Did something happen? "
Ji Ke was silent for a moment and thought to herself, 'During this period of time, Big Brother Tianxing has been focused on dealing with the Duanmu family. He's already mentally and physically exhausted.
I can't tell Big Brother Tianxing the truth. Otherwise, he'll be worried about me and it'll only add to his troubles! '
Thinking of this, she lied and said to Ji Tianxing, "Big Brother Tianxing, I received a letter from Qingyun Kingdom saying that Imperial Father is seriously ill and is in a critical condition.
I want to return to Qingyun Kingdom to visit Imperial Father … "
Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Imperial Father is seriously ill. You should go back and visit him.
However, the journey from Zhongzhou City to Qingyun Kingdom is too long. I'm worried about you going back alone.
The Duanmu family must be watching our every move and they'll definitely find an opportunity to make a move on you.
Ke Ke, I'll accompany you back to Qingyun Kingdom in case you meet with danger like Yan 'er … "
Hearing his words, Ji Ke quickly waved her hand and rejected him. Her tone was a little anxious as she said, "No, no, no! Big Brother Tianxing, I'll go back alone. I don't need you to accompany me.
It'll take at least two months to return to Qingyun Kingdom from Zhongzhou City.
You have a heavy responsibility now and you still have to work hard to improve your strength. How can you waste your time on this matter?
All in all, I'll go back alone. You can focus on your own matters! "
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly and looked at her with a deep gaze.
Even though Ji Ke tried her best to hide her true thoughts, she was still pure and kind. She wasn't good at lying and deceiving others.
Ji Tianxing could tell at a glance that she wasn't telling the truth and was hiding something.
