"Silly, I don't need you to support me!"
Ning Wenjing's heart was filled with bitterness, regretting having driven Ji Mo away.
She thought Ji Mo had sold himself to the Du family to obtain these supplies.
"This old woman has wronged him. I never expected that young man to be so grateful. People like him who repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring are hard to find in this world."
The old woman sighed.
It was she who had insisted Ji Mo was unreliable and suggested driving him away.
She never expected Ji Mo to be so kind, still remembering Ning Wenjing's life-saving grace!
Then she said to Ning Wenjing, "Jingjing, you see, you are a person with great destiny. You saved someone casually and received so much in return. Without a doubt, you are the savior."
Ning Wenjing was a bit speechless. This old woman could really imagine things.
"You must be Miss Ning Wenjing. This was specially instructed by the son-in-law to be brought to you."
Shaoyao took Jin Kui's corpse and handed it to Ning Wenjing.
She couldn't help but marvel at Ji Mo's generosity. Jin Kui was a treasure trove, worth a fortune.
"A demonic beast at the fourth level of the Mortal Immortal Realm!"
Ning Wenjing was stunned. The item in her hand was heavy. She never thought Ji Mo would be so good to her as to send something like this.
"There's a familiar aura. Could this monstrous creature be the cause of the strange illness prevalent in the village?"
The old woman sensed the toad poison on Jin Kui's corpse.
She quickly took the golden toad and examined it carefully.
She soon determined that this was the root of the strange illness, and this toad was undoubtedly the culprit.
"Young Master Ji has shown great kindness to our Ning Village, exposing the true culprit behind the poisoning."
The old woman expressed her gratitude. She had thought it was a strange illness, but it turned out to be a peculiar poison from this demonic creature.
Ning Wenjing really wanted to say that Ji Mo might have also cured the village's strange illness, but without evidence, the old woman wouldn't believe her, so she didn't mention it.
However, she felt that Ji Mo sending this toad demon must have a deeper meaning, indicating that he knew the truth about Ning Village's strange illness and had avenged them.
"Our Xi Xia Mountain Villa wishes to befriend Ning Village. If Ning Village needs any help in the future, Xi Xia Mountain Villa will spare no effort."
Shaoyao conveyed Du Mu's intention to ally with the Ning clan.
The old woman naturally agreed happily. With Xi Xia Mountain Villa's support, Ning Village's good days were coming. At least their lives would not be so difficult in the future.
"This must be the personal charm of the savior, attracting the support of powerful figures from all sides."
The old woman looked at Ning Wenjing, her old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Shaoyao unloaded the supplies and led the convoy back to Xi Xia Mountain Villa.
She inadvertently heard astonishing news: Ning Village actually had a "savior," and she had to report it back to the Manor Lord.
Upon returning to Xi Xia Mountain Villa.
Shaoyao reported the news to Du Mu.
"Savior?"
Du Mu stroked his white beard and fell into thought. He had also heard of the White Emperor's prophecy and murmured, "Could it be that Mr. Ji is supporting Ning Village for the sake of the 'savior'?"
Immediately, his face broke into a joyous expression: "If humanity has a 'savior,' then my demon race can also have a 'savior demon.' Rui'er has a powerful bloodline and the demeanor of a celestial being. She might even become the ruler of the demon race in the Profound Spirit Realm in the future."
This was not an empty boast.
In just half a day, hundreds of demon experts had come to pledge allegiance to Xi Xia Mountain Villa, and various forces from Feng Mo City had also sent invitations to establish connections.
As time went on, this situation would only spread.
Perhaps, it wouldn't be long before the entire Feng Mo City belonged to his Du family.
When Rui'er grew up and possessed the strength to sweep across the Western Regions, then the Western Regions would also have to be named Du.
Thinking of this, Du Mu became even more excited.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if Ji Mo could become his son-in-law.
Ning Village.
There was great rejoicing.
With the large amount of supplies sent by Xi Xia Mountain Villa, the entire village was now free from worries about food and clothing.
The happiest were naturally the children with their gaunt faces, who could finally eat well and to their fill.
The entire village was immensely grateful to Ning Wenjing, believing that all of this was due to her.
Indeed, a savior was different, easily resolving the predicament faced by Ning Village.
Ning Wenjing felt very uneasy. All of this was Ji Mo's credit, and everyone should be thanking Ji Mo.
While everyone was celebrating, she was the only one feeling down.
Ning Wenjing felt very anxious. For some reason, her heart felt empty.
She had heard that Du Mu was a ruthless killer, bloodthirsty, and liked to use people as flower fertilizer. As for the Du family's daughter, she was pampered and must have developed many spoiled habits.
She wondered if Ji Mo was getting used to life at Xi Xia Mountain Villa, if he was suffering.
Marrying into the family would surely lead to being looked down upon and receiving disdainful glances. His life must be difficult.
If he accidentally angered the Du family, he might end up being made into flower fertilizer.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Ning Wenjing could no longer sit still. She secretly slipped out of the village and headed to Feng Mo City to find Ji Mo.
She arrived at Xi Xia Mountain Villa, stated her identity, and entered the manor without any hindrance.
After all, Du Mu had already expressed his attitude towards Ning Village, so the guards at the gate were exceptionally polite to Ning Wenjing.
"I am a friend of Ji Mo, and I wish to see him."
Ning Wenjing stated her purpose.
The guards' attitude immediately became respectful, and they led her to the back garden.
Back garden.
Du Rui'er, like a little sparrow, chirped around Ji Mo, asking some embarrassing and speechless questions.
Ji Mo was overwhelmed and couldn't stand it, muttering, "I want Jingjing!"
Coincidentally, Ning Wenjing stepped into the back garden just as she heard these four words, as if struck by lightning.
"So, he's thinking of me."
Ning Wenjing's heart pounded, and her face turned red. Fortunately, the dark spots on her face concealed it, so no one noticed.
"Miss Ning!"
Ji Mo turned and saw Ning Wenjing appear, showing a look of joy.
Great, he could finally use this opportunity to escape the pestering of this little brat, Du Rui'er.
"Big liar, are you okay?"
Ning Wenjing bit her lips, suppressing the excitement in her heart. Ji Mo's obvious happiness upon seeing her must mean he had been missing her.
"I'm alright."
Ji Mo replied. Apart from Du Rui'er being too annoying, everything else was quite good. Du Mu treated him with good food and drink, making him feel at home.
"Ugly monster, who is she?"
Du Rui'er clearly sensed the different attitudes Ji Mo had towards Ning Wenjing and herself, and felt a bit jealous.
Moreover, Ning Wenjing had a slender figure, especially her legs which were straight and long. She envied them and felt a sense of crisis.
"This is Miss Ning Wenjing from Ning Village. This is Miss Du Rui'er."
Ji Mo introduced them to each other.
"Ning Wenjing?"
Du Rui'er's eyes widened. She knew that Ji Mo had sent a large batch of supplies to Ning Village and had given Jin Kui's corpse to someone named Ning Wenjing.
"Du Rui'er!"
Ning Wenjing stared back at Du Rui'er without showing any weakness, her hostility unconcealed.
As their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly between them.
