Chapter 1333: I Told You, No Chasing the Chill
The demons watched Bai Beirang’s carriage leave, with a smug "jijiji" sound echoing among them.
This was their way of comforting people, simple and crude.
Not wanting him to cry uncomfortably outside, they used the heavy rain to force him back home.
As they were planning to return to the Wanzong Marquis Mansion to report, they suddenly turned and saw a shadow passing by along the wall corner.
One of the demons immediately recognized it and shouted, "Jijiji!"
The rest of the demons became alert at once.
Previously, Feng Fuce had ordered them to closely monitor any suspicious activity in the Capital and report immediately to Lord Demon if they spotted someone with mana.
They had just discovered this person, not only surrounded by a faint glow of cultivation.
Moreover, the silhouette was extremely familiar, resembling the appearance of Star Lord Yuan Qing, which Lord Demon had shown them before!
A few demons decided to follow and take a look.
Meanwhile.
Zhi’er was already lying on the bed.
The sudden rain outside was unexpected to her.
Wrapped in her blanket, she wondered, "I had calculated that it should be a sunny day."
Feng Fuce was sitting lazily in the recliner beside her bed, his tall figure slumped against the chair back.
Hearing her, he looked up at Zhi’er and said, "Perhaps heaven pities Prince Qing."
Zhi’er instinctively nodded along, turning to rest her cheek on her hand, looking lively and adorable.
"Uncle is quite pitiful after all."
Just moments ago, Bai Beirang had read Jiang Ying’s letter to her face and went insane with red-rimmed eyes, continuously asking Zhi’er to confirm if Jiang Ying really wouldn’t return.
Even, Bai Beirang wanted, "To give my body back to her and let her return!"
However, now the critical issue wasn’t the body.
But Jiang Ying’s soul, which came from a thousand years in the future, so once it leaves the body, even Zhi’er can’t hold onto her.
They had no idea where she had gone.
Zhi’er could only form a seal and send a message to the Black and White Impermanence from afar.
Entrusting them, if they see Jiang Ying, to please tell her.
Zhi’er sighed softly, "Brother Fuce, if one day you also can’t find me, would you be anxious?"
Feng Fuce, however, said decisively, "There will never be such a day."
Zhi’er pouted, "I’m just hypothesizing."
Feng Fuce then smiled, "Even if I have to turn the entire Three Realms upside down, I’ll find you."
After all, Prince Qing is a mortal; he doesn’t have the power to keep Jiang Ying.
But he’s different; if he can’t protect his Little Demon Pet, how is he any different from a cripple?
Hearing Feng Fuce’s answer, Zhi’er’s heart felt as if it was filled with sweet honey.
Though she pretended to be aloof, "Hmph, you sure have a big temper."
But in reality, her heart was bursting with joy.
She turned over, ready to sleep.
But then felt hot as spring had already settled in, and the room was still burning with charcoal.
Feng Fuce feared she would feel cold.
Unconsciously, the young girl playfully kicked the blanket with her white little feet.
Exposing her tender little legs out sneakily.
She hoped Feng Fuce wouldn’t notice.
However, as soon as she stretched out, Feng Fuce noticed.
He raised an eyebrow, put down his book, and came over.
Zhi’er quickly withdrew her small feet.
She confessed without being asked, "It’s a bit hot, I’m just testing if it’s cold outside."
Feng Fuce, leaning on the bed edge, looked at her and chuckled.
"I told you, you’re not allowed to be greedy for cold."
"Has your period passed?" he suddenly asked.
Zhi’er’s face immediately flushed, "Why are you asking that!"
