Just in the time it took for him to faint, they got pushed back by their opponents.
And that wasnât all. Ji Shang was clearly only out for about ten breaths, but when he woke up, they actually had a chance to fight back. What they didnât expect was that Ji Shang just ran off without a word.
Mei Ji was furious, chasing after him with a barrage of questions.
"Donât be mad, Senior Sister. Quick, check if the people from Demon Immortal Castle are pursuing us?"
Ji Shang smiled broadly, his expression looking quite pleased.
Mei Ji was so angry, she glared at him fiercely and said, "Youâre still smiling, even though you messed everything up, and you can still laugh!
And all the way here, youâve been carrying him. Who is he?"
"I donât know who he is either. I met this little guy on my way to Shengtian City!
Heâs quite interesting! I found him intriguing, so I brought him along."
Mei Ji looked him up and down. This young guy, around twenty years old, was in white clothes, seemed weak and feeble, with no cultivation visible on him. She couldnât see anything special about him at all!
"Whatâs so special about him?
Why canât I see it?
He canât even bind a chicken. When he saw us fighting, he fainted. Such a person, with no talent, no courage, and not a great beauty, why insist on bringing him along?
Do you think Lingxiao Mountain is overstocked with food?"
Mei Ji glared at Ji Shang angrily, then replied, "No oneâs pursuing us from behind. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Find a safe place, help me guard for a bit. I need to meet my precious granddaughter!"
Mei Ji: "..." Damn it...
Ji Shang eventually found a relatively safe mountain cave, went inside, and tossed the fainted boy aside, then started meditating.
Mei Ji knew Ji Shangâs granddaughter had the ability to pull at his soul anytime... or rather, could summon his spirit at any time.
So now, she honestly started guarding for Ji Shang!
Ji Shang quietly meditated, waiting for his precious granddaughterâs call.
Sure enough, it wasnât long before he saw his precious granddaughter again.
"Suisui!"
As soon as he saw his precious granddaughter, Ji Shang was excited. He rushed forward and hugged her tightly, happily asking, "Did you suddenly call for Grandpa because you missed him?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head, honestly saying, "No, I didnât!"
Ji Shangâs heart felt as if it had been stabbed instantly.
"Why donât you miss Grandpa?
But Grandpa really misses you!
Look at this, what is it?"
Ji Shang hurriedly took out a piece of bone and waved it in front of his precious granddaughterâs eyes, staring at Xiaosuisuiâs face without blinking.
His face was full of pleasing expressions.
When Xiaosuisui saw the bone, her big eyes blinked, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Vermilion Bird bone!"
"Wow! The little girl is quite knowledgeable. This is indeed a Vermilion Bird bone! Thereâs a trace of the Vermilion Birdâs remnant soul in it! If you can subdue it, it will help you immensely in cracking the Array of Heaven in the future!"
Xiaosuisui happily took the Vermilion Bird bone from Ji Shangâs hand, hugged Ji Shangâs neck, and kissed him enthusiastically!
"Grandpa is awesome, Suisui gives a kiss!"
Xiaosuisuiâs kiss made Ji Shang so delighted, "Hahaha! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss again, Grandpa loves it!"
Xiaosuisui obediently kissed Ji Shang again on the cheek, extremely well-behaved!
This little gesture totally melted Ji Shangâs heart!
"Grandpa! Iâm going to bring Eighth Uncle in, you guys talk quickly, after you finish, Iâll bring Grandma in."
Hearing Xiaosuisui say sheâs going to bring in Madam Ji, Ji Shang got incredibly excited.
"What did you say? Who are you going to bring in?"
Xiaosuisui replied without a thought, "Eighth Uncle! Eighth Uncle has something to discuss with Grandpa!"
"No! You clearly said you were bringing Grandma in!"
Ji Shang hurriedly corrected her, hoping the little girl wouldnât give him false hopes!
Xiaosuisui pouted, gave Ji Shang a helpless look, and said, "You clearly heard it right, yet you make me say it again!"
Xiaosuisui giggled, and Ji Shang couldnât help but blush a deep red!
Xiaosuisui happily laughed, drawing Ji Youze in.
"Eighth Uncle!"
