Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan had already pieced together the outline of what had happened based on the conversation between Manager Luo and the girl. She looked into the girl's hateful eyes, sighed softly, and asked calmly, "Do you want revenge?"

These words were like a ray of light that penetrated the darkness in the little girl's heart and allowed her to see hope and strength.

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes gleaming with determination: "I want to! I must make them pay the price!"

Such a scumbag really doesn't deserve to live a good life.

Ji Nuan took out a bottle of her newly made poison from her sleeve and gently placed it in front of the little girl. "This medicine is called Huangquan. Just a tiny amount can make people experience a pain worse than death."

The little girl took the medicine bottle with trembling hands, her eyes filled with hatred for her enemy and confusion about the future.

She suddenly fell to her knees with a plop, tears streaming down her cheeks again. "Miss, you can see that my brother has been poisoned, and there must be a way to detoxify him. Please, save my brother. My sister and I are willing to follow you for life to repay your kindness."

Seeing the girl's firm attitude, Ji Nuan nodded secretly in her heart. Indeed, she was in need of manpower at the moment, and this brother and sister looked pretty good.

So, she confirmed again, "The Cao family should be quite wealthy. Are you really not going to fight for it back?"

The little girl shook her head firmly, a determined glint in her eyes: "If you need those family properties, you can take them."

She had no ability to take back the family property, nor did she have the ability to keep it. Instead, she was like a child carrying gold bricks through the market, which would only bring more danger and trouble.

"The Qu family's property was originally left to my sister and me by my mother, but it was forcibly taken away by that thief Cao Hehong. I will make Cao Hehong and his family live in poverty for the rest of their lives, and suffer all the pain in the world!"

Ji Nuan pulled out a black detoxification pill from her bosom and handed it to the little girl, saying softly, "This detoxification pill can cure the poison your brother has been poisoned with. Give it to him."

The little girl took the detoxification pill with both hands, as if she had received a life-saving straw, tears glistening in her eyes, and her gratitude was beyond words.

She hurriedly followed Ji Nuan's instructions and carefully fed the detoxification pill to her brother.

After more than ten breaths, the little boy's face gradually regained some color and his breathing became more stable.

The heavy stone in the little girl's heart finally fell to the ground. She knelt on the ground again and kowtowed deeply to Ji Nuan several times: "Thank you for saving my life! My sister and I will follow you by your side for the rest of our lives and swear allegiance to you until death!"

Ji Nuan quickly helped Qu Xiangqing up and said gently, "Hurry up and don't kneel anymore."

The little girl stood up and saluted Ji Nuan: "Your servant Qu Xiangqing greets the young lady."

Ji Nuan was not used to it, so she said, "You don't have to call yourself a slave."

Qu Xiangqing immediately changed her tone and bowed again, saying, "Yes, Xiangqing greets the young lady."

Ji Nuan asked Song Huai to take Qu Xiangqing and her brother back to the inn first, while she and Song Jinbai continued to head towards Chaofeng Mountain.

The ancient temple is built on the mountainside, with its soaring eaves and pointed corners, and is magnificent. Surrounded by green trees and fragrant flowers, the temple seems to be a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Song Jinbai stared at Ji Nuan standing gracefully in front of Chaofeng Temple, and it seemed that she had no intention of going in.

He slowly walked over to her side and asked softly, "Since you're at Chaofeng Temple, why don't you go burn some incense? It's very popular here and is said to be very effective."

"Yeah, praying for a marriage is very effective." Ji Nuan smiled and joked, "Why? Are you praying for a marriage?"

Song Jinbai looked at Ji Nuan without any embarrassment and said bluntly: "What else? I'm already 21 years old, and Brother Ji is only one year older than me, and he's already a father of two children. It's time for me to get married and start a family."

Ji Nuan nodded and looked into the depths of the temple. She wondered if her soul from another world would be rejected here.

"Well, now that we're here, let's go in and burn some incense." As she said this, she started walking towards the temple gate.

Song Jinbai followed closely behind, and the two walked into Chaofeng Temple side by side.

Song Jinbai suddenly remembered the abnormality of her body and worried that if she was really a mountain monster, the Buddha's light in the temple might hurt her.

He almost subconsciously grabbed Ji Nuan's wrist. At that moment, his heartbeat accelerated and his eyes were fixed on her face, afraid to miss any expression of pain or discomfort.

But Ji Nuan just looked at him doubtfully, without any pain or strangeness in her eyes.

He realized that he might be too nervous. He shook his head slightly, as if silently denying himself, and then let go of his hand.

He tried to make his tone sound relaxed and natural: "Nothing, just something suddenly occurred to me. Let's go in."

Maybe she really is a little fairy, the Peach Blossom Fairy, as the little white mink said.

The temple is filled with curling incense and melodious bell sounds, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

The main hall houses a solemn statue of the Dragon Girl, and men and women are kneeling in worship before the statue.

Song Jinbai donated two hundred taels of incense money to the merit box, took the incense handed to him by the monk, and the two of them knelt down in front of the statue together.

Song Jinbai prayed silently in his heart: "Dragon Lady, I, the believer Song Jinbai, sincerely pray that I can be married to the one beside me, and stay together for a lifetime, with deep love and long-lasting affection. If the Dragon Lady blesses me and my wish is fulfilled, I will rebuild her golden body to express my gratitude."

After leaving the main hall, Ji Nuan turned around and asked Song Jinbai: "What wish did you make?"

Song Jinbai smiled mysteriously, "When my wish comes true, I will tell you naturally. What about you? What's your wish?"

Ji Nuan answered frankly, "I hope that Dongchu can be stable and prosperous, and that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Song Jinbai said somewhat disappointedly, "Not seeking marriage?"

Ji Nuan said nonchalantly, "Who can guarantee that the marriage I prayed for will be a good one? Now, with the protection of my parents, brother and sister-in-law, and the ability to do what I like, isn't it a joy? If I marry into another family, I will have to deal with complex family relationships, such as conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, aunt and sister-in-law, and sisters-in-law. I will also have to please my husband and take care of the household chores. I might even be unable to continue my medical practice. There are too many uncertainties. If I can't meet the right person, I don't want to get married just for the sake of getting married."

Song Jinbai looked at the red ribbons flying on the marriage tree, and his heart sank.

I don’t know when Ji Nuan will see him next to her.

Song Jinbai walked to the table where he wrote his wish tape and wrote "Holding your hand, growing old with you."

Ji Nuan looked over curiously. Seeing this, Song Jinbai gently handed the pen to her and said with a smile, "It's your turn!"

Ji Nuan waved her hand and said with a smile, "Haha, I won't write anymore."

"Write one." Song Jinbai raised a charming smile, "Who knows, maybe tomorrow you can find a husband you love."

Ji Nuan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the pen and slowly wrote: "I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him till we grow old together."
