Ji Fengyan leapt up with a yelp, her sudden movements shocking Ling He!

“The things that His Majesty gave me?” Ji Fengyan thought quickly. The original owner of the body did have such a memory. Unfortunately, she had been completely cowed by her uncles’ bullying and grieving over her father’s death. Hence, she had not even looked at the contents of the two boxes from the Emperor. After that, her uncles had made various excuses and confiscated everything.

Ling He nodded. “That’s right, there was quite a lot of treasure in there. I think there was even an Eight-Treasure Azure Belt. This belt is said to be very rare and the only one of its kind in the whole empire. As Master made well… a tragic sacrifice, and because His Majesty heard you were a girl, he sent you the eight-treasure belt.”

Ling He grew angrier as he spoke. The Emperor had been much grieved by Ji Yun’s death. As a result, even the things he sent to Ji Fengyan were better than the rest. However, everything had been taken by the greedy devils in the Ji family, and Ji Fengyan had not received a single thing.

Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

“If we ever return to the capital, I’ll force them to vomit up everything sooner or later.”

“It’s good that Miss has such thoughts. The terminator can enter the battlefield after turning sixteen. Before that, you need to learn how to use the World-Termination-Armour. I estimate that within a year, the Emperor will recall you to the capital.” As Ling He looked at Ji Fengyan, the grievances in his heart were dispelled.

The present Miss was a completely different person from the one in the capital. Leaving the Ji family had been an excellent decision!

Although Ji Fengyan was less argumentative now that she had a plan, she persisted in her various small complaints.

A few days later, the nation’s grand tutor, Xing Lou, suddenly left Ji City. Within two days, the eldest princess’s entourage also left.

Ji Fengyan had not managed to meet Xing Lou and did not know if he had even helped her to look for Liu Huo.

The days passed. Without the two evil people, Su Lingsheng and Lei Wen, Ji Fengyan took to life in Ji City like a fish to water. Every day, she either climbed the mountain with Yang Jian to look for rare ores or brought Little Bat through the streets and alleys of Ji City to look for Liu Huo under the cover of night.

But…

A month passed, but Ji Fengyan still had not found a single trace of Liu Huo.

Just as Ji Fengyan was considering whether to look outside Ji City, a message was suddenly brought to her.

It happened at high noon.

Ji Fengyan was just helping Yang Jian to put on his newly made body when Ling He hurried over.

“Miss! Some members of the Ji family are here.” Ling He stood at the door, his face ashen.

Ji Fengyan looked up and raised her eyebrows slightly.

The Ji family? Was that not the family who had treated the original owner of the body like an idiot?

“Why are they here?” Ji Fengyan looked away indifferently. She cut her finger and dripped a few drops of blood on Yang Jian’s heart.

Although the body had been transformed, the vessel that Ji Fengyan had first made for Yang Jian remained the same. If she wanted to preserve Yang Jian’s memories, she just had to put in a heart similar to the vessel, then add a few drops of her blood to bring it to life.

Yang Jian’s entire body had been replaced with high quality wood, only the vessel could not be changed. Fortunately, it was hidden within the body and could not be touched by others.

“They would like to speak to you, Mi—Miss… would you like to take a look?” Ling He was rather hesitant.
