After Ji Wushuang split the Wuxing Colosseum with a sword, Ji Shangxi, who finally gained his freedom, changed his name to Shangxi. From then on, he no longer captured "fellows" to eat, but instead preyed on the "creatures" that passed by.

Be it a human, a beast, or even a void monster.

Anyway, as long as they can survive, they don't care about any bottom line at all, until they learned that the swordsman who split the eternal night with one sword was actually the human princess, and she was frantically looking for someone in secret.

Among the "many races" that Shang Xi merged back then, there was one race with special "magical powers". At this point, Shang Xi knew that his opportunity had come.

She took great pains to contact Ji Wushuang, her heart filled with secret worries and uneasiness, but in order to prevent her "people" from continuing to live in such fear, she had to take this step.

When they meet again, Ji Wushuang seems to be different from the person in Shang Xi's memory.

Not only was she not shocked at all when she saw her appearance, she even protected a group of people like her.

At this moment, Shang Xi suddenly realized that Ji Wushuang might be their last chance in this life.

One last chance to stand in the sun.

They don't want to become monsters that devour their own kind, nor do they want to become tools for others to study and do evil, and they don't want to become useless people who live like straw dogs and crawl at the feet of others in flattery.

So she asked her tribesmen to come out, and they prayed together, hoping to impress Ji Wushuang.

However, the development of things was far beyond their expectations.

They don't need to impress Ji Wushuang at all.

Because Ji Wushuang is the most soft-hearted god...

She once wielded a sword to split the darkness, and now she smiled and held up a sky of peace for them to breathe.

Shang Xi was grateful to Ji Wushuang. She was willing to cover for Ji Wushuang and would not regret it even if she died at the hands of the Void Monster.

So... she won't make things difficult for Ji Wushuang.

Because she understood that as an artificial human, she had devoured the lives of countless of her own kind, her hands were covered in blood, her mouth was full of sin... she was not qualified to be a Taoist master loved and favored by the laws of heaven and earth.

She is not qualified.

At this moment, Shang Xi didn't even dare to look up at Ji Wushuang. She was afraid that her desire, greed, and ridiculous unwillingness would put Ji Wushuang in a dilemma. Until Ji Wushuang asked again...

"How about this, would you like to study Taoism with me? We can make progress together."

Shang Xi raised his eyes in disbelief, his throat as if clogged with cotton. After a long pause, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "But I... I have killed many people, people just like me. My hands are covered in blood. I... I cannot gain the recognition of the Dao of Heaven and Earth. I cannot sense anything. I, I simply cannot become a Daoist Master..."

Ji Wushuang just stared at her calmly and asked, "Don't ask if you can, just tell me if you want to."

Do you want to?!

she thinks!

Of course she wants to!

Even in my wildest dreams!

She couldn't lie, couldn't give up her extravagant hopes, but she didn't want to make things difficult for Ji Wushuang, so she just looked at Ji Wushuang quietly.

The noisy sounds around became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

At this point, the only sound between heaven and earth was her beating heartbeat.

"Puff thump thump thump..."

Each beat, powerful and sonorous, constantly proclaimed her nervousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Shang Xi finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice, "I want to!"

Ji Wushuang raised his eyebrows teasingly and chuckled, "You are quite clever, little girl."

Ji Wushuang is not a soft-hearted person. She will only extend the olive branch once, because she is willing to sacrifice for herself and because of her good talent.

But if Shang Xi wasn't caught, Ji Wushuang wouldn't ask a second time.

Fortunately, she is not a coward.

Shang Xi looked at Ji Wushuang's smile, and the turbid air in her heart suddenly dissipated. Her eyes were slightly red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, there is one thing I must tell you..."

"You said."

"I am from the Ji family of Tianci City..."

"Oh, I know."

"You, you know?" Shang Xi held his breath, "Then why are you still willing to..." take us in and help us?

After all, the Ji family is not a kind family. If you provoke them, they will bite you like a mad dog and won't let go.
