What Xiao Lan feared did not happen.
The quarrel between the two Misses Wen ended with Wen Die immobilizing Wen Xi.
As expected, no matter when, strength is king.
For the first time in her life, Wen Xi regretted not cultivating properly, to the point where she had no room to resist Wen Die.
Full of indignation, she was taken back to Qingfeng Garden by Xiao Lan and would likely not be able to come out for a while.
"Sister, you must reflect well. After some time, when Young Master Ji and I hold our wedding banquet, I will definitely invite you for a drink."
Wen Die did not forget to provoke Wen Xi, smiling brightly as she watched the latter grit her teeth.
Looking up at Ji Mo in the distance, Wen Die was very satisfied. His appearance and character were indeed impeccable.
The only pity was that Ji Mo was a mortal.
Thinking about it, in a hundred years, she would still be youthful, while he would be old and gray. That scene was truly saddening.
"Never mind, if I can achieve immortality, I will naturally have the ability to extend your lifespan by ten thousand years. If I cannot achieve immortality, then I will cripple my own cultivation and grow old and die with you in the mortal world."
Wen Die secretly made a resolution. If they could not live together, then they would die together.
Although the path to immortality was broken, Wen Die was still quite confident in herself.
Her cultivation talent was rare in ten thousand years. At the age of twenty, she was already at the Spiritual Venerable realm, making her one of the most monstrous prodigies among the younger generation.
She was an undeniable immortal seedling!
With her mind at ease, Wen Die's mood improved. She pondered how to approach Ji Mo and soon came up with an idea, chasing after Bian Wei's departing direction.
Bian Wei never imagined that such a thing would happen.
He had lured Ye Yao to a small valley outside the town, revealed his ugly face, and reached out his lascivious claws towards Ye Yao.
Just as he was about to succeed, he was attacked.
The attacker claimed to be Ji Mo's wife and vowed to avenge her husband.
If not for the many life-saving means he possessed and the other party's fear of his peculiar poison techniques, Bian Wei would have almost died on the spot.
"You pair of dog and wife, just you wait! Once I've healed my injuries, I will surely tear you to shreds."
Bian Wei, covered in bloody wounds, fled in disarray, his eyes burning with fierce anger, filled with bone-chilling hatred.
He thought it was just a matter of scolding Ji Mo, but he never expected the other party to be so malicious as to send his wife to assassinate him. It was truly hateful.
This was quite hypocritical. It was he who had repeatedly tried to harm Ji Mo's life, yet now he blamed Ji Mo for malicious revenge. It was truly speechless.
The attacker was indeed Wen Die, who naturally wanted to vent her anger for Ji Mo.
How could someone bully her man, Wen Xi's man?
And by a twist of fate, Ye Yao and A'Li escaped unharmed.
Wen Die also knew a little about A'Li's tragic background and felt great sympathy for the little girl. After some thought, she decided to take A'Li to find Ji Mo.
This was because the little girl firmly believed that Ji Mo could cure her.
As for Ye Yao, she was still shaken. By the time she recovered, Wen Die had already left with A'Li.
On the way home, Ji Mo encountered Wen Die, who was waiting for him.
"Big Brother."
Upon seeing Ji Mo, A'Li excitedly rushed over and threw herself into Ji Mo's arms.
For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness towards Ji Mo, and only when she was near him did the pain within her body greatly subside.
Ji Mo was full of confusion. Wasn't A'Li taken away by Ye Yao?
Why was she here with a stranger?
He could clearly feel A'Li's dependence on him, and he couldn't help but dotingly pinch the little girl's nose, looking at her emaciated little face with immense heartache.
A'Li tearfully recounted her ordeal, and Ji Mo's impression of the second Miss Wen, who had acted righteously, greatly improved.
They were both daughters of wealthy families, sisters, yet one was capricious and only knew how to bully others with her status, while the other acted heroically, and... was so beautiful.
Wen Die wore a brilliant smile, incredibly sweet, looking at Ji Mo with a docile expression.
Indeed, girls who smile often have good luck.
Ji Mo enthusiastically invited her to visit.
Ji Mo's courtyard had undergone a great change. The innate Bagua formation was beginning to take shape, and a mysterious aura flowed, completely concealing all the peculiar aspects of the courtyard.
At this moment, Ji Mo's courtyard had returned to its original simplicity, everything appearing ordinary and commonplace.
Wen Die looked around with curiosity, as this would be her home after marriage.
Having been born into nobility, she had never stayed in the countryside before, so everything felt new and exciting to her.
At the same time, the few simpletons in the courtyard also turned their gaze towards Wen Die and A'Li.
Wen Die was ignored, as there were simply too many beautiful women coming and going from here.
However, A'Li, who was riding on Ji Mo's head, attracted everyone's intense attention.
"Who is this little girl? Mr. Ji actually allows her to ride on his head?"
Everyone was stunned. Could this be Mr. Ji's illegitimate daughter? She was doted on so much.
Regardless, this little girl must hold a significant place in Mr. Ji's heart. They must curry favor with her and take good care of this little ancestor in the future.
Everyone's thoughts raced, seeing this as a good opportunity to flatter Ji Mo.
Wen Die also finally discovered the abnormality.
The plump black chicken lying on the ground basking in the sun was actually a Demon Venerable.
And the bald monk tilling the land and the scholar-like fellow were actually two half-step Spirit Saint realm powerhouses.
Even more terrifying was that the one digging in the vegetable patch was actually a Demon Saint.
Why were these terrifying powerhouses appearing in Ji Mo's courtyard? What were their intentions, and could they pose a threat to Ji Mo?
Although Wen Die was somewhat flustered, she was not overly afraid.
Firstly, as a Miss of the Wen family, she could deter these fellows. Secondly, her master's status was extremely noble, enough to make these people not dare to harbor any ill intentions towards her.
"Young Master Ji, who are these people?"
Wen Die suppressed her shock and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, the two tilling the land are workers I hired. This is the family's egg-laying chicken, and that one is a self-invited old turtle!"
Ji Mo introduced them one by one to Wen Die.
Wen Die's heart pounded. The two half-saints were workers, the Sky Peng had become an egg-laying chicken, and even more exaggeratedly, the Demon Saint was called an old turtle!
She was truly afraid that Xuan Ao would become enraged, reveal its true form, and swallow Ji Mo in one gulp.
Even her master would never dare to call a Demon Saint an old turtle to its face. Who could tolerate such an insult?
"I am Wen Die of the Wen family in Mingyue City, and my esteemed master is Chu Qingyi of the Misty Palace!"
Wen Die decisively revealed her identity, hoping to shock these formidable individuals.
The Sky Peng and the other simpletons looked bewildered.
They clearly did not understand why Wen Die suddenly shouted. The Wen family was indeed powerful, and Chu Qingyi was renowned throughout the Southern Region, but what did that have to do with them?
Could any background be greater than Mr. Ji's?
"Fortunately, my background has shocked these powerhouses. My future husband, you really need to be more careful. I've saved your life!"
Wen Die secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was truly hard to imagine how Ji Mo, so unrestrained and carefree, had managed to survive.
"A'Li, what do you want to eat tonight? How about Big Brother cooks you a dish of stewed black chicken with turtle!"
Ji Mo said.
"It's over!"
Wen Die's heart was filled with great alarm. Such humiliation would surely cause those two great demons to fight desperately!
