The "reinforcements" that rushed into the courtyard numbered in the tens, and no matter how strong Fei Xiao Chai was, he could not stop them all. Ji Yunkai supported Xiao Jiu'an and walked two steps forward, but the "reinforcements" managed to catch up with them.

There were several times when Fei Xiao Chai wanted to escape and help Ji Yunkai, but he was coerced into a corner by someone. He was anxious and angry at the same time and could only watch the "reinforcements" pounce toward Ji Yunkai.

What shocked him even more was that after Ji Yunkai kicked the man away, she picked up his blade and quickly slashed at the others.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunkai had already killed three of the "reinforcements". Fei Xiao Chai rubbed his eyes fiercely in shock. "Little Junior Sister, how are you so strong?" Why didn't he see her attack last night?

"It's just good luck." Ji Yunkai was extremely tired, but because the person who asked the question, Fei Xiao Chai, was the one who had defended her, she could not help but reply.

Yes, her luck was good. Although these "reinforcements" were fierce, they were not experts in martial-arts. Just like her, they all practiced external martial-arts, so she could barely match them.

However, there was a natural gap between the stamina of men and women, and her body had not fully recovered yet. She would not be able to fight for long.

Fortunately, Feng Qi understood her, and just as she was about to collapse, Feng Qi threw a medicine bag at her from the air, "Little Junior Sister, catch it!"

Feng Qi did not say what the medicine pack was used for, but Ji Yunkai guessed the usage.

Feng Qi's throw was extremely accurate. Ji Yunkai reached out and grabbed it, and, without hesitation, she pulled open a corner of the bag and sprinkled the medicinal powder on the "reinforcements" who were pestering her.

The medicinal powder, which was colorless and could not be seen clearly when scattered, instantly caused Ji Yunkai to hold her breath and step back. The "reinforcements" who were in hot pursuit of her halted instinctively when they saw her actions. They raised their hands to block their nose and mouth, but it was too late!

The powder that Feng Qi gave her did not seem to need to be inhaled at all.

Ji Yunkai knew this, because her fingers were stained with a little of bit of the powder, which caused her to nearly throw the medicinal powder in her hands away due to the pain.

The "reinforcements" that were hit by the powder fell onto the ground as they cried out in pain. They did not even dare to step forward, as they looked at Ji Yunkai warily and fiercely. Their eyes were focused on the powder in her hands, fearing that Ji Yunkai would make a move.

"It's really useful." Ji Yunkai ignored the heat coming from her fingertips, and glanced at the "reinforcements" who were rolling on the ground in pain. She smiled.

"Little Junior Sister, be careful. Don't touch it yourself. There is no cure for this Scarlet Refined Powder. Once touched, it will be painful for the next 24 hours." Seeing that Ji Yunkai had settled the "reinforcements", Fei Xiao Chai relaxed.

This was his only Little Junior Sister, the darling of his father and Junior Master. If anything were to happen to her, he would be in deep trouble.

Once Fei Xiao Chai said this, the "reinforcements" surrounding Ji Yunkai did not dare to act rashly. They all looked at each other, not daring to step forward for even a moment as they were afraid that they would be covered in the medicinal powder.

Finally, Fei Xiao Chai had said something useful.

Ji Yunkai secretly heaved a sigh of relief and carefully retreated to Xiao Jiu'an's side. Seeing that the "reinforcements" were following her closely, Ji Yunkai smiled. She threw up her hand holding the medicine bag and said, "Have a taste of the Scarlet Refined Powder!"

The "reinforcements" behind them realized, they had been tricked, and angrily chased after them. But, just as they ran two steps, Ji Yunkai sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on them.

"Ahh!" Seeing the powder on their faces and hands, the "reinforcements" cried out in pain. Seeing this, the people behind them did not dare to step forward.

Ji Yunkai laughed, and half-dragged Xiao Jiu'an as they continued to walk out of the teahouse. But, just as they were about to leave, Ye Cang Qiong suddenly chased after them and with a few leaps, he arrived in front of them, blocking their path.

"Villa Master Ye, what do you want?" Ji Yunkai supported Xiao Jiu'an, and brazenly looked him in the eye.

Ye Cang Qiong looked at Ji Yunkai's left hand, which was wrapped around a cloth, and the medicinal bag in her hand. He said, "Put down Xiao Jiu'an, I'll let you go." He had already tasted the power of the Sky Doctor Valley's medicine, and he did not want to taste it again.

"You know that's impossible!" If Xiao Jiu'an fell into Ye Cang Qiong's hands, would she still be able to live?

Ye Cang Qiong wanted to exchange her for Sky Doctor Valley's Nine-Revolving Heaven Pill, but what could she exchanged Xiao Jiu'an with?

A living Xiao Jiu'an was of no value to Ye Cang Qiong. Only by his death, will the person behind him be able to get their hands on the Yanbei Army.

"He doesn't care about your life and death and exchanged you for his sister's life. Is a man like him worth your help?" Ye Cang Qiong looked at Ji Yunkai as if he was looking at a monster.

No matter how he looked at Ji Yunkai, she did not look like a kind-hearted little white flower, who would not care about any injury or slight.

"Villa Master Ye seems to not know the rules of Prince Yanbei's Mansion." Ji Yunkai admitted to herself that even if she did not have the rule of accompanying him in death shackling her, she would still not abandon Xiao Jiu'an and leave on her own today.

She always held a grudge toward her enemies and repaid debts to those she owed. In order to save her, Xiao Jiu'an became unconscious, so no matter what, she would not abandon Xiao Jiu'an and leave on her own. Just like today, when Fei Xiao Chai protected her, she would help Fei Xiao Chai in the future as long as Fei Xiao Chai needed it.

"What rules?" Obviously, Ye Cang Qiong did not know.

He did not want marry into Prince Yanbei's Mansion, so why would he want to know the rules of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion?

"If Prince Yanbei dies, Prince Yanbei's Wife dies with him!" Ji Yunkai said word by word with a calm face.

This rule was a chain that had been locked onto her since the moment she and Xiao Jiu'an married.

"So you're saying, no matter if I let you go or not, you can only die with Xiao Jiu'an?" Ye Cang Qiong raised his brows and pretended to be shocked at Ji Yunkai, as if he could not bear to see this.

Ji Yunkai snappily snorted, "Villa Master Ye, you think too highly of yourself. If you want Xiao Jiu'an and I to die, it would depend on whether you have the ability or not."

After saying that, Ji Yunkai suddenly let go of Xiao Jiu'an. But just when Ye Cang Qiong thought that Ji Yunkai was about to abandon him, he saw her turn around and stand back to back with Xiao Jiu'an, then bent down.…
