Life and death are unpredictable

  This time, everyone was shocked. The originally weakest and most vulnerable Princess Chi Yang actually killed six assassins in a row, which was unacceptable to anyone.

  The remaining seven or eight assassins originally surrounded Ji Jingyu, but this time they were a bit unsteady. However, the leader was very aware of the situation and waved his hand, "Withdraw!"

  At a word of command, they vanished into the forest without even looking back at their companions.

  The several wounded but still alive guards of the princess's mansion looked at each other in dismay, struggling to get up and hesitating whether or not to rush after them.

  At dawn and dusk, he glanced at the dense forest and said calmly: "Don't pursue the exhausted enemy."

  Ji Jingyuan sheathed his sword and returned to her side, his eyes filled with surprise and worry.

  "Deal with the aftermath."

  Ji Jing was taken aback by the words, and immediately ordered: "Those who can use their strength to lift people onto the horse cart, send the living back to the princess's mansion for treatment, and send the dead to the charity house for cremation. The ashes will be returned to their families later."

  Two of the guards were slightly injured and, along with the coachman, lifted someone up towards Chen Xi, "Princess..."

  "You all go back first, I'll walk back with Jingyuan."

  The guard looked at Ji Jingyuan and threw down the princess first. What if they encountered danger again?

  "Listen to the princess, their injuries need to be treated quickly."

  The guards still hesitated, and Chen Xi glanced at them lightly and said in a low voice: "Even if we encounter enemies again, you are just a burden."

  The two guards' faces turned red with anger, and they said no more, mounting their horses and riding away.

  Chenxi dropped the long sword in his hand and shook his hair, "Let's go."

  She walked a few steps and then stopped again, looking at Ji Jingyuan beside her, "Burn those corpses."

  "Yes."

  When Ji Jingyuan dragged those corpses together, he suddenly found that the assassins killed by Princess Chiyang all had the same expression, their eyes were open and their lips were a bewitching red, giving people a strange feeling.

  He looked carefully again, but still didn't find any wounds, it was really strange. Since Princess Chiyang was right in front of him, he couldn't very well conduct an autopsy in her presence, so he could only burn the bodies with a suspicious heart.

  After dealing with a series of clues, Ji Jingyuan walked ahead to lead the way, while Chen Xi followed at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, casually taking in the scenery around him, as if he had never encountered an assassination attempt before.

  As she passed by a lake, she stopped her footsteps at dawn and dusk. The sparkling lake surface stirred up memories of her past, fishing with her father and sister.

  In her memory, the happiest time was spent with her grandfather, father and sister.

  She picked up a big stone and sat down leisurely, staring at the lake surface with nostalgia.

  The past will not come back, her memories will not change, and the past of Princess Chiyang will not be erased because of her arrival.

  Ji Jing stood a few steps away from her, increasingly bewildered by her, yet not daring to disturb her easily. In the past, he would disdainfully keep his distance, but now he had a few reservations.

  "Dad, let's stop here, this lake must have big fish."

  Suddenly, a big and small figure interrupted the morning and evening memories. A father-daughter pair appeared on the lakeshore not far away, with the father in his thirties and the daughter only seven or eight years old.

  The middle-aged uncle's face was shining with a kind smile, and the little girl was satisfied to hold her father's hand and follow him step by step.

  The middle-aged man glanced at Gong Chenxi and hesitated, not wanting to offend the nobleman, as some rich and spoiled children were indeed difficult to get along with and would easily provoke trouble if not careful.

  Although Chen Xi had already put on a humble hat and worn-out clothes, his attire still looked expensive, especially with Ji Jingyuan being such a gentle and handsome man, looking even more extraordinary.

  The little girl looked over here and was immediately taken with Ji Jingyu's gentle and soft beauty, her pure eyes sparkling as she asked, "Big brother, big sister, can we go fishing together?"

  Ji Jingyuan smiled slightly and didn't respond, but looked at Chenxi. Chenxi tilted her head and glanced at them, "Okay."

  The middle-aged man put down his heart and, together with his daughter, inserted the fishing rod and threaded the earthworm onto the hook. The two fishing rods were then tilted horizontally on the shore.

  The little girl was smiling and chatting, the father and daughter looked harmonious...

  Morning and evening like this warmth, human's most pure affection should be like this.

  Unfortunately, some people are born without understanding emotions. They can use familial relationships and fake romantic love, all for the sake of other purposes.

  It's as if fate had a mind of its own, letting her meet a gentle father with extraordinary abilities, yet also encounter an unfeeling mother. If this is what balance means to God, then she would rather not have the special gift she was born with and be just an ordinary person instead.

  Sometimes she wonders if her father were an ordinary person, she would also be an ordinary person, then would that mother still be her mother?

  It's clear that she wasn't, from the start she approached her father in order to obtain his heteromorphic ability, even sacrificing her body to gain her father's genetic creation.

  "This little girl is so delicate and pretty, if she grows up a few more years, she'll definitely be a beautiful young lady!"

  A burst of laughter interrupted Chen Xi's contemplation once again, and she looked up to see several young men dressed in luxurious attire, one of whom was staring at the little girl with a lecherous gaze.

  The little girl was stared at by his naked eyes and trembled, hiding behind her father's back, "Dad!"

  A middle-aged man watched several young men passing by with a guarded expression, remaining silent throughout.

  "Hey, young master! I'll give you thirty taels of silver for her, how about it?"

  The middle-aged man's face sank, and he lowered his head. "Thank you for the young master's appreciation, but my daughter is not well-behaved, I'm afraid she will displease the young master. I dare not aspire to a high match."

  "Ah, you're all talk, young master! I just want one word from you: will you give it or not?"

  "This young master, I am unwilling to sell my daughter for glory, so I ask you to fulfill this."

  That young master heard this, and laughed. "Hear me out, you're really amusing. I just wanted a little girl, but you're dragging your feet. How boring! Someone, come and bring that little girl over here!"

  "Daddy, don't go, Daddy - save me!"

  The little girl struggled and refused to be pulled away by the young master's servant, while the middle-aged man also held his daughter tightly and refused to let go, but was kicked away by someone and fell heavily to the ground, even landing at Chen Xi's feet.

  At dawn and dusk, I took a glance at those people, some chaotic images flashed in my mind, my eyes turned cold, "Robbing civilians in broad daylight, disregarding the law, teach them a lesson!"

  "Yes."

  Ji Jingyuan had originally wanted to take action, and now that Chi Yang Princess had also given the order, she quickly flashed forward, and with a few loud slaps, the person was knocked to the ground.

  "You dare to hit me, a young master!" The leading young nobleman glared at Ji Jingyuan in anger, pulling out the short sword from his waist and stabbing it towards Ji Jingyuan.

  Watching with disdain in the morning and evening, eggs hitting rocks, overestimating one's abilities!

  As expected, with just two moves, that young master was kicked flying by Ji Jingyuan and landed heavily on the ground, letting out a pained cry.

  The little girl rushed back to her father's side, tears streaming down her face. "Daddy, Daddy, how are you?"

  "Dad is fine, don't cry, Yan Yan." After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Chen Xi in the morning, "Thank you, Miss, Fang Mou is grateful."

  At dawn and dusk, facing them, the father-daughter expression softened a lot. "No harm, Akakawa is the capital of Xia Guo, but such an impolite thing happened, it's the fault of the monarch of Xia Guo for not supervising properly."

  The middle-aged man was shocked, and the emperor was someone that ordinary people could discuss. He held his daughter in his arms and stood aside without speaking again.
