Chapter 81-85 (2/2)
Why was it that this little girl couldn't be serious for even a moment?
Despite thinking like this, there was a faint blush on his face.
”I just knew that you wouldn't understand. I really am… too worried about nothing.” Looking away, Liu Huo slowly closed his eyes. When he once again opened them, they had already returned to a normal black.
”Forget about what you just say, otherwise there'll be a lot of problems,” he said, his tone warming up further. Inside it, there was also an unexpected hint of helplessness.
”So the reason that you had stayed alone on the mountains before was because of your eyes?” She suddenly asked.
A bit stunned, Liu Huo hesitated for a moment. ”You can accept it as that…”
Ji Fengyan smiled, ”Relax, I won't tell anybody about anything related to your eyes or let any problems look for you. Okay, enough, now look at my Triple-Bladed Double-Edged Lance. Isn't it just the coolest? Since you don't have anything to do, then just follow me as I give this thing to Yang Jian so that you won't start having random thoughts while alone.”
As she finished speaking, Ji Fengyan grabbed Liu Huo's wrist while dragging the Triple-Bladed Double-Edged Lance and headed towards Yang Jian's room with Bai Ze, her face full of smiles.
Meanwhile, Liu Huo was stunned as he was dragged along by Ji Fengyan, the warmth on his wrist causing him to be a bit absent-minded.
This… stupid woman.
What he was worried about wasn't the problems he might face.
However, seeing Ji Fengyan's face full of smiles, Liu Huo's words remained stuck in his throat. Lowering his head slightly, he sighed silently.
Whatever, everything can be done as she likes.
After walking for a moment, Ji Fengyan suddenly slowed down. Without turning around, she gently said, ”Little Liu Huo, just remember. No matter what problems you encounter in the future, as long as I'm here then no one can hurt you.”

Ji Fengyan's heart was firmer now than at any other time. She would protect this little fellow that she had almost killed when she lost control for as long as she could since she owed him a life!
Feeling a bit dazed as he watched her back, Liu Huo's eyes slightly widened as they were filled with complicated emotions. The warmth on his wrist at this moment was so scalding that his entire body was feeling hot.
”Of course, when you've recovered enough, I'll teach you a really strong cultivation method so that when anybody wants to bully you in the future, you can just beat them down,” she said, smiling. It didn't matter whether she owed Liu Huo or something else, she felt that this kid was easy on her eyes, therefore even if the emperor came, she still wouldn't let go.
Ji Fengyan's nature was very carefree, but once she stuck up her horns, then even a horde of horses couldn't pull her away.
Because of this, there were many times where she was beaten by her master in the previous world.
Liu Huo didn't say anything else as followed silently behind Ji Fengyan. Lowering his eyes, he dispersed the emotions in their depths.
Once Ji Fengyan found Yang Jian, she immediately handed the Triple-Bladed Double-Edged Lance over to him. As Yang Jian obeyed all of her orders without hesitation, he naturally took the weapon without a word and also changed into the golden-coloured scale armour that she had prepared for him.
After he had finished equipping everything, Yang Jian really did look a bit like the rumoured Pure Monarch Erlang while he held the Triple-Bladed Double-Edged Lance. Unfortunately, his eyes remained dull, missing that bit of dominance and sharpness.
After Little Bai Ze entered the room, it trembled as it curled up against Ji Fengyan's leg, its pair of watery eyes looking in terror at the Howling Heaven Hound that was ”yearning and pining for it”.
Even a normal wild beast had sharp instincts much less Bai Ze, who's intellect had been slowly improved by being fed a constant diet of medicinal pills by Ji Fengyan. Therefore, when Bai Ze saw the eyes that the Howling Heaven Hound were giving it, Bai Ze was naturally frightened to the point where its soul almost left its body.
Perhaps having felt Bai Ze's trembling, Ji Fengyan swept an eye over the Howling Heaven Hound. With incomparable speed, the Howling Heaven Hound changed the direction of its gaze, pretending to be relaxed as it used its claws to scratch its tail.
Obviously, just based on their actions from before, little Bai Ze's intellect still couldn't compare to the Howling Heaven Hound's.
Just as Ji Fengyan was considering whether or not to increase the ”medicinal strength” of the pills that she were giving to Bai Ze, a series of rushed footsteps suddenly echoed out from behind the door.
A panting, sweat-covered Zuo Nuo dashed over to the door. ”My lady, not good! That pimped tramp Lei Xu has brought soldiers to surround the entrance of our residence!”
”Brought soldiers to surround the entrance of our residence?” She asked with slightly raised brows.
Originally, she had thought that he would have been more docile for a time after having suffered such a loss, but who knew that he would have started making trouble only after just a few days!
”Yes! And a lot of soldiers too, at least a hundred of them. The boss told me to inform you and see what my lady has in mind to deal with them,” Zuo Nuo said nervously.
”How to deal with them?” Ji Fengyan lightly smiled, ”What are you being scared for? If soldiers come, then the general blocks, if water comes, then use the earth to guard! Come, let's go meet them. I want to see just what trouble he can still stir up.”
After she had finished speaking, she took large strides as she headed towards the outside of the door.
Liu Huo naturally also followed along, even Yang Jian and the Howling Heaven Hound came over too. Only Bai Ze when it was preparing to come out with them was it poked on the nose by Ji Fengyan and told, ”You're still small, so you won't partic.i.p.ate in these temporarily. Quickly grow up, little one.”
Little Bai Ze dazedly stood there, only understanding the general idea of her intent. One thought appeared in little Bai Ze's hazy mind.
Really want to…
Quickly grow up.
Chapter 85 – If Soldiers Come, Then the General Defends (2)
Outside the residence, tension rang in the air.
Lei Xu had brought along several hundred of Ji City's officers and men to surround Ji Fengyan's residence so tightly to the point where even water couldn't leak out.
Around him stood several family leaders of Ji City's large eminent families. Except for the soldiers that Lei Xu had brought with him, those family leaders had also brought along quite a few guards as well, ensuring that the s.p.a.cious entrance was completely surrounded. Without exception, all of those soldiers were fully armed. Some held sharp swords, while others held bows with their arrows nocked and ready to fire.
The citizens of Ji City that were pa.s.sing by the area was completely scared by the array of troops there. Many of them were both startled and puzzled, but only dared to hide off to the side and sneakily watch the approaching battle.
At the entrance of that dilapidated house, a dozen or so guards with Ling He as the head stood in front of the wide-opened gates in a solemn manner.
Their bodies were already covered with the grey armour that they had once worn on the battlefield. Such armour was far from being as beautiful as Lei Xu's dark gold armour though, each one of them covered in many sc.r.a.pes and dents, the symbols of honour that had been left behind when they had faced off against the demons. After they had left the battlefield, they hadn't thought that they would have had another opportunity to once again don the armour that they used to protect the country, but who would have thought…
What they faced today after forming up ranks and once again donning their armour was not the ruthless armies of the demons, rather it was the sharp blades of the soldiers of Ji City.
”Lei Xu, what are you doing?” Ling He asked, without a trace of respect, looking sharply at Lei Xu who was sitting on a large horse.
As Lei Xu sat on his horse with his chin arrogantly raised, he swept a disdainful glance over Ling He's body, the depths of his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with both hatred and a sinister chill.
Lei Xu hadn't forgotten that on that day it was Ling He who lead his men in beating Lei Min up to the point of serious injuries.
”What thing do you count as?! Actually daring to question our Honourable City Lord! If you're sensible, then quickly screw off to the side and hand Ji Fengyan over.” A tall man who stood beside Lei Xu loudly rebuked. Like Ling He, he also shouldered a large heavy sword on his back, the aura radiating from him far stronger than the other soldiers.
”And what thing do you count as?! Is our Young Lady someone you can see as you please?!” Ling He returned without backing down.
”I am the number one swordsman under Sir Lei, Zhou Ji” The man who shouldered the heavy sword said arrogantly.
In this world, aside from the life exterminators, there were still other occupations. Knights, mages, priests, archers, apothecaries, artisans, thaumaturgists, as well as… swordsmen.
Amongst them, the status of a swordsman was the easiest to recognize as every single one of them used a large heavy sword that looked ridiculously heavy for their weapon. Since there were few that could wield such a weapon freely, the swordsman occupation therefore had extremely harsh requirements on the physique. Of course, at the same time, their offensive powers were also one of the best out of all the other occupations.
”Zhou Ji? Never heard of you.” Ling He sneered.
Zhou Ji's face twitched. Inside Ji City, his reputation wasn't small as he fully deserved the rank of being number one amongst all of the other swordsman. He never thought that this seemingly shoddy swordsman in front of him would actually show such scorn for his status.
”Never heard of me? Very well then, just wait until after I finish slaughtering you and then I'll let someone carve the name of who killed you on your grave!” Zhou Ji shot back, immediately preparing to charge ahead with his sword.
Meanwhile, Lei Xu silently sat on his horse without any intentions of stopping Zhou Ji.
He didn't mind starting with this Ling He fellow before he went to capture Ji Fengyan!
