Feng Ninghe reached out and gently patted Feng Xing's shoulder, praising him softly, "Very good. With you here at the Medicine Valley, I can leave with peace of mind."
Feng Xing turned his head and met her beautiful eyes.
A hint of a smile flickered in the woman's pupils. Her clean, fair face was alluring without being seductive, and the heroic spirit in her brows carried a touch of aloofness.
This face was enough to topple cities and nations, her beauty unparalleled.
Feng Xing's heart suddenly tightened, and a blush crept onto his cheeks. He nodded repeatedly, trying to hide the flutter of panic in his heart, "Master, rest assured. I will protect the Medicine Valley while you are away, but..."
Seeing the young man hesitate and look uncertain, Feng Ninghe saw through his thoughts at a glance, "You want to descend the mountain with me?"
His thoughts exposed, Feng Xing nodded without hesitation, a resolute look flashing across his handsome face, "That's right. Master, although my cultivation is far from sufficient, I still wish to descend the mountain with you. Perhaps there's something I can help with."
Old Man Xu, standing nearby, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
At such a young age, his cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and yet A Xing still felt it wasn't enough...
Feng Ninghe smiled, "Alright, since you wish to descend the mountain with me, then let's go together. However, you must remember to protect yourself."
This was a critical moment where she needed people. She didn't mind A Xing accompanying her.
The prerequisite was his own safety.
Feng Xing's face lit up with joy, his cheeks beaming with a smile. He eagerly said, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely protect myself!"
His life belonged to Feng Ninghe.
As long as his master was in danger, A Xing would always be at the forefront.
Returning to the familiar courtyard, Feng Ninghe began to pick herbs.
After harvesting, she returned to the house and placed a wisp of her divine sense into the spatial jade bracelet.
Di Wenbin's divine sense was tightly coiled, showing no signs of awakening.
Only when Di Wenbin awakened could she prove her innocence.
Withdrawing her divine sense, Feng Ninghe began to refine the herbs.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Zhao was chewing on an herb. He blinked his azure eyes and looked up at the sky, "Old Man Xu, who do you think wanted to frame Master?"
Old Man Xu was busy roasting a chicken.
He sprinkled some salt on the roast chicken and said dismissively, "This girl has countless enemies. If we were to really count, anyone could have targeted her."
Xiao Zhao's lips immediately drooped, and he said no more.
*
In a refined residence in the Li Kingdom.
Si Jianye's well-defined fingers were stroking a jade bracelet.
The jade bracelet was lustrous and exquisitely crafted.
He put away the jade bracelet and turned to look at Si Xin Xin, who was not far away.
Si Xin Xin sat on the swing, bored, her tender face lost in thought.
"Xin Xin, do you want to go play with Mother?"
Si Jianye walked towards her, his deep male voice falling slowly.
Si Xin Xin's grape-like eyes instantly lit up, but after a moment, the light faded, and her gaze turned dim, "I want to play with Mother, but Mother is busy. Xin Xin wants to be a good child and not disturb Mother."
Si Jianye raised an eyebrow, a hint of depth in his exquisitely featured face, "Who says looking for her is disturbing her? We can go find her and wait quietly by her side. It's not too late to play with her when she's free."
The simple words brought a smile to Si Xin Xin's smooth, tender face. She nodded her small head quickly, "Daddy is right. Then let's go find Mother to play quickly!"
Si Jianye secretly touched the jade bracelet tucked into his embrace and quickly left the place with Si Xin Xin.
Medicine Valley.
Feng Ninghe finished refining the medicine and guided it into Di Wenbin's residual soul.
The light on this wisp of residual soul instantly intensified, rapidly absorbing the medicine.
Feng Ninghe crossed her arms and quietly gazed at this wisp of residual soul, a hint of deep meaning appearing in her eyes, "Di Wenbin, you are truly fortunate to have run into me."
Just a little more, and Di Wenbin's soul would have completely vanished.
Her appearance had given this wisp of residual soul a place to reside, preventing it from dissipating immediately.
Creak—
She pushed open the door after completing her task.
A strong aroma instantly assailed her nostrils.
Several figures in the courtyard were huddled together.
Old Man Xu looked at Feng Xing, who was happily eating, with a hint of pride, "How does it taste? After not tasting my roast chicken for a while, do you find it even more delicious?"
Feng Xing nodded in approval, chewing on the roast chicken, "The taste is indeed excellent."
"Master!"
Xiao Zhao, sensing something, waved at Feng Ninghe, "Old Man Xu prepared roast chicken, and it tastes very good. You should try some too."
The harmonious atmosphere in front of her brought a smile to Feng Ninghe's face. On her exquisitely featured face, this smile was radiant and bright.
She strode forward and picked up a chicken leg to eat.
The roast chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tasting truly excellent.
Suddenly, a gust of strong wind swept through.
Fallen leaves rustled.
Sensing the anomaly, Feng Xing immediately stood up, his eyes filled with intense vigilance, a long sword already in his hand.
He could sense that the newcomer's cultivation was profound and unfathomable.
When the wind stopped, several figures appeared in the courtyard.
The man was tall and imposing, his arrogant gaze filled with disdain. A red, alluring mole adorned the corner of his phoenix-like eyes.
The man held a little girl's hand.
The little girl's tender face was beaming with smiles, and she had two cute little pigtails tied on her head.
"Mother!"
Si Xin Xin, sensing something, instantly broke free from Si Jianye's hand and ran wildly towards Feng Ninghe.
Feng Xing's vigilance intensified, his gaze locked onto Si Jianye.
He could feel that this man's cultivation was unfathomable, even far beyond his own.
He wasn't confident he could win.
Sensing Feng Xing's vigilance, Feng Ninghe moved her lips slightly, her clear voice uttering, "A Xing, they are not enemies."
Her words instantly made Feng Xing lower his guard, though his eyes still scanned Si Jianye from time to time.
"Mother!"
Si Xin Xin, filled with joy, burrowed into Feng Ninghe's embrace, her tender face beaming with happiness, "Xin Xin couldn't sleep well yesterday without Mother. Xin Xin misses sleeping with Mother."
Looking at the small figure in her arms, Feng Ninghe reached out and stroked Xin Xin's tender little face, "Then you can stay at the Medicine Valley tonight and sleep with Mother."
Si Xin Xin nodded repeatedly, the little pigtails on her head standing up due to excitement.
Feng Ninghe gently asked, "Xin Xin, why did you come?"
Si Xin Xin extended her little hand and pointed at Si Jianye, her tender face showing a hint of seriousness, "Daddy missed Mother."
"Pfft!"
Axi, who was far away, choked on his words, his eyes widening like copper bells.
If he remembered correctly, the King of Hell had only asked casually and had never said he missed Feng Ninghe.
Miss was clearly telling a blatant lie!
Si Jianye's pupils involuntarily contracted, his gaze deep, and an unfathomable depth appeared on his exquisitely featured face.
This child was getting bolder and bolder...
