"Father, you died so miserably..."
Jin Cheng, who witnessed this scene from afar, had his eyes split open, his face filled with grief.
His own father had died, and so miserably.
This enmity was irreconcilable!
Revenge, he must take revenge and annihilate Ji Mo, shredding his corpse into ten thousand pieces!
He suppressed the pain in his heart, turned his head, and left, intending to rush home to invite those human powerhouses to avenge his father's death.
Outside the Sunset Glow Villa, experts in the Mortal Immortal Realm, hidden in the dark, retreated without a word, fearing they would be the next victim.
This included Zhu Mei and Tang Ruofei, whose expressions were quite remarkable.
Just yesterday they had harbored ill intentions towards Ji Mo, wanting to use his seed to have a child. Fortunately, they hadn't resorted to force, otherwise the consequences were truly unimaginable.
They were terrified, but also felt a sense of loss and melancholy.
Ji Mo was probably a man they could never have in this lifetime, what a pity!
Those who had not attacked the Sunset Glow Villa all looked relieved.
Even Jin Kui had gone and never returned. If they had rashly attacked, it would have been no different from seeking death.
As for the small portion who hadn't used their brains, clamoring to charge into the Sunset Glow Villa to seize treasures, they were all scared stiff. They never expected the Sunset Glow Villa to be so deeply hidden, with such terrifying experts!
They wanted to retreat, but it was too late. They had all been killed.
In the sky.
The golden rhododendron transformed into a shower of light and scattered. A vast amount of plant essence spread out from Ji Mo's room, and the surrounding flowers and trees grew wildly again.
The cultivators of Sunset Glow Villa who were injured in the battle were nourished by the plant essence, their injuries quickly healed, and they soon became as good as new.
Du Ruier had successfully awakened a special bloodline, and its power was incredibly astonishing!
"What kind of bloodline has the Du family girl awakened? It's too powerful!"
"It's very similar to the legendary Flower Ancestor bloodline. Du Ruier is very likely to become the Flower Ancestor of this generation."
"Flower Ancestor bloodline? If that's true, then wouldn't the demon race of the plant lineage have to revere Du Ruier? Could the Du family be producing a demon empress?"
...
Discussions and exclamations arose one after another, and the surrounding demon races were all unsettled.
If the speculation was true, it would be a major event. The demon forces of the Xuanling Realm would undergo great changes because of this, with far-reaching influence.
At the same time, some plant-系的 demon races on the scene began to have ideas. The Sunset Glow Villa was likely to become a demon overlord, and it would be wise to seek allegiance as soon as possible.
There were also some other prominent demon figures who felt it was necessary to quickly strive to improve relations with the Sunset Glow Villa and make investments in advance.
"Congratulations, Villa Master Du. Miss Du's talent is unparalleled, and her future is boundless. We will definitely come to congratulate you with generous gifts another day!"
Many people secretly transmitted messages to Du Mu, expressing their goodwill.
Those willing to offer help in times of need were rare, but those who added glory to splendor were plentiful.
Du Mu was first bewildered, then quickly understood the key points, his face filled with immense shock.
If his daughter had indeed awakened that bloodline, wouldn't the Du family prosper?
Then, his heart trembled, and his face was filled with even greater horror!
Because not long ago, Ji Mo had predicted that he would gain honor through his daughter, and the Du family would prosper.
He had initially thought it was just Ji Mo's polite words, but he never expected it to come true so quickly.
This person was truly a divine being!
*Plop!*
"Mr. Ji, your great kindness is unforgettable to Du Mu!"
Du Mu directly knelt before Ji Mo and kowtowed three times heavily!
Ji Mo's actions in helping Du Ruier awaken her special bloodline and protecting the Sunset Glow Villa from annihilation were as heavy as a mountain. He was willing to serve Ji Mo like a dog and horse!
"Villa Master Du, what are you doing? It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Ji Mo helped Du Mu up, mistakenly thinking that he was grateful for his treatment of Du Ruier, and couldn't help but sigh at the universal parental love.
But kowtowing was unnecessary; a few large carts of gold and silver would have been more practical.
Du Mu was filled with emotion. He never expected Ji Mo to be so noble and virtuous, actually considering it a small matter. Such magnanimity, pure and bright.
Even a sage would be no more than this!
Seeing Du Mu's face filled with gratitude, Ji Mo took the opportunity to say, "Villa Master Du, I have a humble request. Ning Village lacks food and clothing. I wonder if you could send some over. Also, please send this large toad over as well, to a girl named Ning Wenjing."
Originally, Ji Mo had planned to eat the toad, but after knowing its preciousness, he was reluctant to eat it and wanted to give it to Ning Wenjing.
He had promised to take care of Ning Village, and now he was doing his part.
"No problem, I will definitely arrange it perfectly!"
Du Mu immediately ordered his servants to handle it.
This matter had to be handled flawlessly to please Ji Mo.
Half a day later, a long convoy left the Demon Sealing City, heading majestically towards Ning Village.
The carts were filled with large quantities of supplies such as food and clothing, as well as over twenty carts of gold and silver.
These items should have been transported using storage bags for convenience, but Du Mu deliberately did it this way.
Firstly, it was an opportunity to show his重视 for Ji Mo's instructions, and secondly, it was to show off to the outside world, making it clear that the Sunset Glow Villa and Ning Village had a close relationship from now on.
At the same time, it was a warning to others. Jin Kui's corpse was hung high in front of the convoy, deliberately shown to all the forces in Demon Sealing City, to let them know that this was the consequence of daring to plot against the Sunset Glow Villa.
Ning Village.
Ning Wenjing sat at the entrance of the village, hugging her knees.
She felt very distressed. The villagers all treated her as a savior, and their attitudes had completely changed, which made her very unaccustomed to it.
She knew that she was not the savior predicted by the White Emperor, but no matter how she explained it, the villagers did not believe her.
"Jingjing, why did you hide here? Don't waste your time, hurry up and go into seclusion and cultivate. The human race will rely on you for protection in the future!"
An old woman leaning on a cane appeared, earnestly reminding Ning Wenjing of the responsibility she bore for the fate of the human race, and that she must not be lazy, but cultivate even more diligently.
She also mentioned that the seal in the ancient battlefield ruins of the human-demon realm was running out of energy and might not last much longer.
Once the seal disappeared and the gate to the demon realm opened, the entire Xuanling Realm would face a catastrophe, and then only Ning Wenjing could turn the tide.
"Grandma, I am really not the savior."
Ning Wenjing clarified again.
"Jingjing, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but this is the mission you should bear."
The old woman said softly, persuading Ning Wenjing to be strong and brave.
Since she was the destined savior, she should naturally dare to take on everything.
As they were talking, the convoy from Sunset Glow Villa arrived.
"Excuse me, who is Miss Ning Wenjing? My young master asked me to deliver something to her."
The leader was Shao Yao. Seeing someone at the village entrance, she asked.
The convoy from the Du family of Sunset Glow Villa?
The old woman recognized their origin upon seeing the clothing of Shao Yao and the others.
She couldn't understand why Ning Village and Sunset Glow Villa didn't have much interaction, yet they were sending so many supplies.
Could there be some scheme involved?
"Young master?"
Ning Wenjing's heart suddenly sank. Thinking of something, she quickly asked, "Is your young master Ji Mo?"
Shao Yao nodded and said, "That's right, our young master is indeed Young Master Ji! These are the supplies he ordered us to send, all for Miss Ning Wenjing!"
Ning Wenjing staggered, her face changed drastically, and her heart felt very uncomfortable.
"You idiot, I told you to sell yourself to repay my kindness, but I was just saying it. I didn't expect you to be so foolish and become a live-in son-in-law at Sunset Glow Villa to repay my kindness!"
Ning Wenjing's thoughts churned. Recalling Ji Mo's figure in the morning sun when he left yesterday, and his words "I'll support you," she felt a mix of emotions and a pang in her heart.
