Chapter 115 My Own Softness
Ji Tianzuo knew very well that he was already at a disadvantage.
Who would have thought that after dominating for so long, he would fall to a little girl.
A smile welled up in Feng Jiutian's eyes, and his thin lips parted slightly, seemingly exuding endless allure.
You lost.
With a flick of the dagger, the longsword was sent flying through the air, arcing before landing with a thud on the ground.
Ji Tianzuo felt the cold air on his neck and gave a slight bitter smile.
The golden snake had already defeated several assassins and was hissing, flicking its tongue. Its cold eyes were fixed on Ji Tianzuo.
Ji Tianzuo lowered his eyes and looked at Feng Jiutian: "Who exactly are you?"
"Feng Jiutian".
Feng Jiutian said in a deep voice, somewhat hesitant.
She was somewhat reluctant to kill Ji Tianzuo; the battle just now was truly exhilarating and had shown her Ji Tianzuo's strength.
He wouldn't have lost if he hadn't been distracted halfway through and underestimated his opponent from the start.
Ji Tianzuo laughed loudly, and the dagger cut through the skin on his neck, drawing out a trickle of blood.
"Kill them." Ji Tianzuo looked at Feng Jiutian, his eyes cold and calm, showing no fear of death.
For some reason, Feng Jiutian felt as if she vaguely saw her former self.
She was like this from the very beginning, when she first emerged from the assassin's base, with a knife to her neck, unable to fight back, but she was absolutely determined not to give up.
"Follow me, and I promise you glory."
Feng Jiutian swiped the dagger away and looked directly at Ji Tianzuo, speaking earnestly.
Ji Tianzuo remained silent, his feelings a complex mix.
Although she still looked like a young girl, Ji Tianzuo inexplicably felt that Feng Jiutian's eyes were extremely alluring, as if they held endless potential for the future.
As if guided by some unseen force, Ji Tianzuo paused for a moment, then firmly replied, "Alright, I will follow you."
He was originally a wandering hitman who made a living on commissions.
If I can promise him a future, then why not follow him?
……
In the Prime Minister's residence, Feng Jiutian looked at the unconscious Feng Xuan in front of him, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
Several days have passed, and Feng Xuan remains unconscious. Without medicine, everything is in vain, and there is no way to save him.
Fortunately, his condition has not worsened and he remains the same as when Feng Jiutian left.
"Old man, can we start preparing to refine the pills?" Feng Jiutian asked in a deep voice.
Xuanjizi used her divine sense to probe outside and whispered, "This won't work. Let's go to your room to refine pills, and have Xiao Jin guard outside."
Feng Jiutian paused for a moment, then turned and left without looking back.
Since it's pointless for her to stay here, she won't waste any more time here.
In the South Garden, there were no guards or maids, only a desolate courtyard.
Because of Feng Jiutian's outburst last time, almost everyone was terrified. Now, seeing Feng Jiutian is like seeing a ghost; they try to stay as far away as possible, afraid of confronting this devil.
This resulted in Feng Jiutian returning several hours ago, yet the place was still completely unattended.
Feng Jiutian blinked and walked into her room without caring at all.
A golden snake emerged from the sleeve, transforming into the shape of a python, and quietly lurked at the top of the pillar.
"No matter who comes, after the warning, kill them without mercy."
Feng Jiutian glanced sideways at the entrance; the gate was half-closed, and there was no one around.
She was curious to see who would be the one to get shot.
In any case, alchemy is an extremely mentally taxing process, especially since Xuanji Zi is currently in a soul form and cannot be disturbed by anyone, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Feng Jiutian would not joke about Xuanjizi's life, much less this life-saving pill.
Within his spiritual sea, Xuanji Zi sat cross-legged beside the Void Spirit Cauldron, intently gazing at it.
This peerless medicine cauldron has finally come in handy.
He went through countless hardships to repair the Void Spirit Cauldron and restore its function, all for this moment, to use this peerless cauldron to refine top-grade pills.
Instead of sensing the situation in her spiritual sea, Feng Jiutian flipped her hand, and the thousand-year lotus root appeared in her palm.
The thousand-year-old lotus root emitted a faint light. Feng Jiutian could not sense its emotions, but his heart was filled with complex feelings.
On the Tianshan Mountains, the resolute yet grateful eyes of the thousand-year-old lotus root were unforgettable to her.
Just because his own mother saved her life twelve years ago, he was willing to exchange his own life for hers...
"Old man, what's the minimum you need?"
After a long silence, Feng Jiutian asked softly, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.
Xuanji Zi paused for a moment: "One piece should be enough."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian decisively raised his knife and a piece of thousand-year-old lotus root appeared in his spiritual sea and landed in Xuanji Zi's hand.
At the same time, the light of the thousand-year-old lotus root dimmed again, almost disappearing almost imperceptibly, as if it were about to vanish.
Feng Jiutian's eyes rippled, and with a thought, he retrieved the thousand-year lotus root into his ethereal space.
The spiritual energy in the ethereal space is extremely abundant, making it the most suitable environment for this herb. It can not only nourish the herb but also restore spiritual energy.
Upon entering the ethereal space, one could easily see that the light emanating from the thousand-year-old lotus root had intensified, though not significantly, it was certainly not as faint as before.
After a few actions, Xuanji Zi understood Feng Jiutian's thoughts and stopped saying anything, instead quietly preparing for her alchemy.
However, his eyes revealed a hint of admiration.
He knew that Feng Jiutian was not an ordinary person. At least, the ability to kill so decisively was something that most people couldn't do, and even if they could, their mental fortitude wouldn't be that high.
However, Feng Jiutian treated killing as an art form, showing no tension whatsoever as he wielded his blade with ease, as if it were second nature.
The fierce aura emanating from her, in particular, makes people want to kneel down and submit to her.
Xuanji Zi once worried that Feng Jiutian would be devoured by this malevolent energy, turning into a treacherous and ruthless person and ruining his rare talent.
After all, malevolence is a double-edged sword; once it gets out of control, it can backfire and turn you into a bloodthirsty machine, living only to kill.
But at this moment, Xuanjizi discovered that Feng Jiutian would not suffer a backlash.
Regardless of how others see it, she still has her own soft spot in her heart.
A person may be ruthless and merciless, but that does not mean they are cruel and heartless.
Although such a small piece would reduce the effects of the medicine, Xuanji Zi was still somewhat pleased that Feng Jiutian was aware of this.
Xuanji Zi began to focus on refining pills and stopped paying attention to Feng Jiutian.
Feng Jiutian waited in silence, and soon he heard the golden snake's message.
"Master, there's a maid at the door saying Qingzhi has woken up and wants to see you."
Feng Jiutian withdrew from his cultivation, opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed in them.
