Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Chapter 294 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 21

The next day at noon, Ji Chaoxi and the others finally prepared to leave.

Wen Shubai did not choose to fly on his sword, as his physical condition had not fully recovered.

Wen Shubai carried Ji Chaoxi on his back, his shoulders shielding her from most of the wind and snow. Her hands were around his neck, and her chin rested on his shoulder.

Wen Shubai felt her rapid breathing, and pressed his cheek against her forehead, which was still hot.

Junior Sister hasn't fully absorbed the Ice Marrow Pill yet.

"Senior Brother, are you tired? I can walk by myself..."

Ji Chaoxi asked in a muffled voice.

She didn't want this to happen, but her whole body was burning up, and she felt like her brain was about to explode.

But the senior brother said it was normal.

Wen Shubai didn't turn around. The wind kept blowing in his face. He said gently, "Junior Sister, go to sleep if you're sleepy."

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes: "Junior Sister is not as strong as Chong Lijianchen."

Ji Chaoxi responded sullenly and quickly fell asleep.

She had a very long dream. In her dream, her hidden spiritual root was finally no longer hidden. With the spiritual root, she was absolutely unstoppable. Not only did Liu Fuyin beg her to teach her, but even her senior brother came to ask her for help...

Ji Chaoxi was fast asleep, her breath hitting Wen Shubai's neck. Wen Shubai lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he tilted his head slightly.

But the next second she leaned in again, even closer than before, their skin pressed tightly together, burning hot.

The Ji family was also going through a very difficult time at this time.

Ji Yingjin and Liu Dazhuang paced back and forth in the room, their faces filled with tension.

"What's wrong with Xixi? We sent her a letter days ago and she still hasn't replied." Ji Yingjin frowned deeply.

This doesn't fit her daughter's personality at all.

Tears welled up in Liu Dazhuang's eyes: "What else could it be? He was seduced by the disciples of the Ruthless Path and started cultivating."

He wiped away his tears, sobbing softly, "It's all my fault. For the sake of our Ji family's reputation, I forced Hua Hua to go to the Tianjue Sect. Now look what's happened, she doesn't even want this family anymore."

Ji Yingjin clicked his tongue: "Don't call her Huahua, she'll cry again if she hears it."

She now believes that her daughter's tendency to cry is inherited from Liu Dazhuang, as she cries and sobs here every day.

Liu Dazhuang was also very strong, and it was incongruous to see a rough old man wiping away tears with a handkerchief. Ji Yingjin couldn't help but slap him on the back.

Liu Dazhuang stared at her, completely bewildered.

"Let's not write to Xixi anymore, let's write directly to the Second Elder, and remember to bring gold with us," Ji Yingjin said briskly.

She absolutely refused to let her daughter become that heartless person!

The distant greenery drew closer, and as we stepped out of the frozen forest, a rush of fresh air greeted us, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, gently illuminating the ground.

A warm breeze gently caressed the two of them, their hair fluttering softly in the wind.

The smoke from cooking fires grew thicker. An old man carrying firewood glanced at the two of them strangely, then carried his firewood away. A commotion arose from the nearby town.

Ji Chaoxi slept soundly. In her dream, she vaguely thought that only by following her senior brother could she be saved.

If she followed the other disciples, she would definitely be bullied terribly, and they might even steal her magic artifacts because they seemed to be poor.

When she woke up, she felt enveloped in a warm, cottony blanket, which smelled of sunshine.

She subconsciously buried her face in the pillow and rubbed it against it with her eyes closed.

"Junior Sister".

His voice carried a hint of amusement.

Ji Chaoxi's body stiffened, and her mind cleared instantly. She buried herself in the pillow and remained motionless, her ears turning red all the way to the roots of her neck.

Seeing her reaction, Wen Shubai's eyes, which had been smiling, suddenly turned worried.

"Is it because the spiritual energy in your body is uncomfortable again?"

He frowned slightly, leaned down, and his cool fingers reached towards her ear. When they touched her skin, she involuntarily trembled.

"Junior Sister, why is it so hot?"

Wen Shubai frowned even more deeply, and he touched her cheek, trying to check her temperature.

"No!" Ji Chaoxi hurriedly dodged his hand.

Her face grew increasingly red, but Wen Shubai did not shy away; instead, he moved even closer, his eyes filled with anxiety as he caressed her burning red face with his palm.

"It's not only hot, it's also making me shiver."

Wen Shubai's heart jumped. Could it be that there was something wrong with the Ice Marrow Pill?

The two were very close. Ji Chaoxi was in a state of turmoil. She avoided Wen Shubai's gaze and tried to bury herself in the blanket, but Wen Shubai stopped her.

"Junior Sister, your physique is special, and you have reshaped your meridians. If there are any residual toxins in your body, it is no small matter."

Seeing her rapid breathing and evasive eyes, Wen Shubai's worry deepened.

"Junior Sister, let Senior Brother take a look at your eyes. Don't keep it to yourself if you're feeling unwell."

Ji Chaoxi's eyes reddened with anger. She was forced to lift her face and, before Wen Shubai could react, she grabbed the blanket and covered her head.

"I'm not in pain, I'm just hot!"

Wen Shubai's hand froze for a moment. Only when he saw the bulge huddled under the blanket did he belatedly realize that his junior sister hadn't been feeling unwell just now.

He withdrew his hand, his fingertips still lingering on the touch of her cheek.

"I'm sorry, junior sister, I overstepped my bounds just now." Wen Shubai's voice was a little hoarse.

The room fell into a deathly silence, with the occasional hawking outside the window making the atmosphere inside seem even more oppressive.

Wen Shubai looked at his palm, his eyes filled with confusion and panic.

He almost forgot that he was the senior disciple of the Tianjue Sect, and that men and women should not touch each other, let alone this junior sister.

According to the rules, he should be sitting three feet away from his junior sister, instead of staying in the same room with her, standing so close to her, and touching her face like a lecherous man.

He didn't know when he became like this...

Whether it was when he taught her swordsmanship step by step, or when they fell asleep close together in the dark abyss.

Wen Shubai clenched his hands tightly, not daring to think any further.

According to the sect's rules, it is a major taboo for a lone man and a lone woman to be alone in a room.

"Crunch—"

The door was gently pulled open, and an anxious voice suddenly rang out.

"Where are you going, Senior Brother?"

Ji Chaoxi cautiously poked her head out from under the covers.

Wen Shubai froze. If he told her he was going to meditate somewhere far away, his junior sister would definitely cry again.

He lowered his voice: "Junior sister, I'll go buy you some breakfast."

Ji Chaoxi finally felt relieved. She buried her face in the pillow and said in a clear voice, "Senior Brother, I want to eat big meat buns, sweet tofu pudding, and osmanthus cake..."

Wen Shubai couldn't help but chuckle softly as he listened to Ji Chaoxi reciting the names of the dishes.

"understood."
