Chapter: Chapter 296
Qingge Ji definitely had no hidden means.
Let alone any cultivation techniques beyond the Foundation Establishment realm.
She had already reached her limit, barely holding on by sheer willpower.
Why?
Why, as a demon, did she have to live so humbly, why was she labeled as a “harmer of people.”
She just liked interacting with people, liked the feeling of a family being harmonious…
Qingge Ji had never thought of doing anything bad; she just wanted to live a peaceful life.
In the corner of the room.
The Woman despairingly closed her eyes, awaiting the final judgment.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene of parting ways with someone previously.
That warning seemed to be right before her eyes.
“I sensed an overwhelming demonic aura from the backyard. Miss Ji, please be careful.”
Thinking of this, Qingge Ji couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
This young Taoist priest indeed had some skills, but the demonic aura and demon you spoke of, that was me, Qingge Ji!
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of regret. If she had listened to the young Taoist priest back then and been more careful in her actions, perhaps she wouldn’t have ended up being stripped of her heart and having her core taken.
Just as Qingge Ji was lost in her thoughts.
A clear yet somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from outside the room.
It was as if fantasy had materialized into reality.
“Good evening, Miss Ji.”
The Woman’s eyes snapped open. She turned her head, looking at the doorway in disbelief.
She saw the young Taoist priest, whom she remembered as being quite good-looking, gradually merging with the man at the doorway.
Eventually, they transformed into two figures, one large and one small.
Chen An looked at her disheveled state, clicked his tongue, and shook his head with a sigh.
“See? Not listening to elders leads to immediate suffering.”
Chichi Su was much better, unlike her Master who only knew how to stand there and make sarcastic remarks.
She quickly trotted a few steps forward and helped the woman who was frozen on the spot.
Seeing Qingge Ji’s wounds and blood all over her body, her eyes turned red with worry, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Sister, does it hurt?”
The little girl puffed out her cheeks and gently blew, trying to alleviate the Woman’s pain.
“Chichi will blow on it for you.”
For some reason, Qingge Ji reached out and wiped her face. There was nothing on her face, but her eyes felt a little sore.
She rubbed the little girl’s Head.
“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”
Chichi Su looked at her with bright eyes, “No wonder Sister is so beautiful. So you were the demon my Master spoke of.”
Qingge Ji was stunned for a moment, then her Expression turned somber.
She didn’t want to deceive the little girl, and in this situation, she couldn’t lie.
In the end, humans and demons have different paths.
The next moment, that crisp voice rang out again.
“But it’s okay.”
Chichi Su hugged the Woman and smiled without any reservations.
Qingge Ji was stunned for a while. Just as she was about to speak, a clear sword cry interrupted this last bit of Warm affection.
It also jolted Qingge Ji awake.
She regained her senses and used the last of her strength to block in front of Chichi Su.
She looked at Qingli Chu, word by word.
“Surely you righteous Immortals wouldn’t spare even an innocent child?”
Qingli Chu frowned tightly, ignoring her.
She was wondering how these two suddenly appeared people had gotten in.
This was illogical.
Once the Demon Trapping Array was set up, unless it was a cultivator far beyond her realm, they would be repelled by the array without her permission.
Although the Demon Trapping Array was not harmful, it was precisely because it sacrificed offense that it became such an impenetrable cage.
Otherwise, with an ordinary formation, it wouldn’t have been able to withstand the attack when Qingge Ji transformed into her true form; she would have escaped long ago.
But looking at the young man in the Taoist robe before her, Qingli Chu couldn’t feel how strong he was.
Judging by his realm, he was at most in the middle to late Foundation Establishment stage, let alone far beyond herself.
Or did she make a flaw when setting up the array?
However, none of that mattered now.
Qingli Chu turned her head and glanced.
After confirming that the little girl was indeed an ordinary mortal, she nodded.
“I will not harm her.”
Then she changed her tone, “But you must return to the mountain with me. I cannot let you leave just like this.”
At this point, there was no room for negotiation.
The fox demon could no longer return to the human world.
Otherwise, the many people in the Ji Manor who had deceived her would likely not see the sun tomorrow.
As for this outcome, Qingge Ji had naturally expected it, and she no longer wanted to resist.
She was tired.
Being able to see Chichi Su one last time before losing her freedom, and for the other party not to dislike her, Qingge Ji was already very satisfied.
So, the Woman took a step forward herself.
“Wait.”
Chen An walked over.
The next moment, Qingli Chu’s cold and sharp gaze fell on him.
It was as if she were warning him not to make any rash moves.
But Chen An did not look at her.
He simply looked at Qingge Ji for two steady glances.
Qingge Ji felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and the Hand at her side subconsciously tugged at her skirt hem.
After all, her current disheveled appearance was indeed a bit embarrassing.
And thinking of what she had said before, Qingge Ji became even more awkward.
“Even if something truly unclean got mixed in, I could make it vanish in an instant.”
Yes, the more assertive she had sounded then, the more awkward it seemed now…
Fortunately, Qingge Ji was not someone who cared too much about these things. She quickly pulled herself out of her emotions and said calmly, “Young Taoist priest, don’t do anything foolish.”
She met Chen An’s gaze, her eyes full of gratitude.
“I admit I underestimated you before, but you should take her and leave quickly. I will not forget you.”
Qingge Ji pushed the little girl behind her forward.
She just wanted all of this to end quickly now.
“That big block of ice, is she very strong?”
Hearing Chen An’s question, Qingge Ji nodded seriously.
“Very strong, ridiculously strong.”
“She’s also Foundation Establishment, isn’t she? Why were you beaten so badly?”
Qingge Ji pursed her lips, “Can I be the same as her?”
She said impatiently, “Since you are a cultivator, haven’t you heard of the name Qingli Chu?”
Qingli Chu was not some unknown nobody.
She was a heavenly prodigy of the Shenzhou immortal cultivation world.
Upon entering Foundation Establishment, she could kill a great demon at the peak of Foundation Establishment with one person and one sword.
Since she descended the mountain for training, she had left countless shocking legends in the immortal cultivation world.
Chen An nodded as if he understood, “Yes, I’ve heard of it. I just heard it at the annex doorway a moment ago.”
Qingge Ji was speechless. It was a life-or-death situation, yet she was almost amused to the point of laughter by this young Taoist priest.
She also felt a hint of unwillingness, gritting her teeth and saying, “If it were someone else, I might not necessarily have lost.”
Qingge Ji sighed softly.
“But she is Qingli Chu.”
Chen An understood.
He patted Qingge Ji’s shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
“I get it, I get it. There are disparities between Foundation Establishment cultivators, right?”
