"Host, you're lying. Nobody knows Ji Qiyin exists." The system suddenly appeared.

"So what? Nobody knows anyway," Jiang Zui muttered to himself.

"Hmph! How come nobody knows? I know perfectly well."

"Watch your wording, you... are not human."

He paused for a moment, then said, "If I can win over Ji Qiyin, it will be equivalent to cutting off Meng Zhe's future development. As long as I achieve my goal, do you think it matters how I win him over?"

"It's not important, it's not important, of course it's not important. The host's mind is just that quick. I, a mere little system, naturally admire him to the core," the system flattered.

Jiang Zui couldn't bear to look. "System, I have something to tell you. I like to hear people praise me, but... where did you learn your skills? They're really... too clumsy. I don't like them."

"Huh!? That's impossible! I got this skill from a system that's great at motivating hosts, and I paid a lot of money for it. Host, I...I...this...could I have been scammed?" The system's voice was filled with resentment at being cheated.

"What do you think?" Jiang Zui asked in return.

"Host, I'll get a refund right now," the system said angrily.

Seeing Jiang Zui nodding earnestly, Ji Qiyin's ears turned red, and she said somewhat shyly, "Am I that amazing?"

"Yes, it's more than just powerful, it's incredibly powerful. It's said that no evil spirit or demon can escape its grasp. Everyone wants it, and I'm no exception..."

After saying that, Jiang Zui pretended to be embarrassed.

Hearing Jiang Zui's praise, Ji Qiyin was overjoyed and asked directly, "You want me too? Then I can give myself to you."

"Cough cough cough!!!" These words shocked Jiang Zui.

Was the car going a little too fast?

Or is he out of his mind?

He almost misunderstood what he was saying.

"Don't get excited, I promise you." Ji Qiyin didn't expect Jiang Zui to be so excited when he heard her words.

He's so important to Jiang Zui...

Jiang Zui hurriedly explained, "No...no...that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

"You don't want me?" Ji Qiyin stared wide-eyed at Jiang Zui.

Jiang Zui looked at the innocence in the other person's eyes, opened his mouth, but did not refute.

He did indeed want to bring Ji Xiyin to his side.

Seeing that Jiang Zui did not refute, Ji Qiyin smiled and said, "Jiang Zui, you are the first person I have ever met. I have been here since I can remember. What is the outside world like? Tell me about it."

After saying that, fearing that Jiang Zui would refuse, he quickly patted his chest and promised, "How about this, you tell me about what's happening outside, and I'll protect you and not let anyone bully you, okay?"

"OK."

Jiang Zui told Ji Qiyin many interesting stories about the outside world, which aroused Ji Qiyin's curiosity about the outside world.

Meanwhile, Ji Qiyin ensured Jiang Zui's safety within the Demon Soul Cave.

Jiang Zui has already abstained from grains and does not need to eat, and Ji Qiyin, being a sword spirit, does not need to eat either.

Therefore, Jiang Zui and Ji Qiyin got along very well, each with their own sword.

However, on the third day after Jiang Zui was imprisoned in the Demon Soul Cave, Yu Miao secretly came to see him.

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, are you in there?" Yu Miao stood outside the Demon Soul Cave, his face filled with anxiety, and shouted loudly into the cave.

If Jiang Zui obediently hands over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade, he won't have to go through the Demon Soul Cave.

Jiang Zui disobeyed him, and these three days were a lesson for him.

If it weren't for his senior brother needing to nurture the spirit jade and asking him to check if Jiang Zui was dead, he wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place.

What bad luck!

"What's that noise?! I'm going to check it out." Ji Qiyin was holding Jiang Zui's hand, nagging him to tell her the sequel to the story of the loving couple, when he heard Yu Miao's voice, he stopped abruptly, withdrew his hand, and was about to stand up and walk towards the direction of the sound.

As a result, Jiang Zui grabbed him and said, "Don't go."

"Hmm?" Ji Qiyin's bright eyes were filled with confusion as she asked, "What's wrong? Do you know people outside?"

Jiang Zui nodded, feigning sadness, and said pitifully with her head down, "The person outside is...my junior brother, and also...the culprit who made me suffer punishment."

"What?!" Ji Qiyin's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he protested, "Isn't he your junior brother? How could you be punished?"

Jiang Zui stood up, faced Ji Qiyin, and sighed, "Although I am the second senior brother of Lingyun Sect, my spiritual root is special and I cannot cultivate. My father went through many hardships to find a Spirit Nourishing Jade for me to help me cultivate."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of emerald green jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Ji Qiyin, "This is the Spirit Nourishing Jade."

A few days ago, the eldest brother was injured while saving the youngest brother, which hindered his cultivation. The only thing that could heal his injury was this Spirit Nourishing Jade. The youngest brother, along with the other disciples and the sect leader, persuaded me to give the Spirit Nourishing Jade to the eldest brother, but I... I didn't."

"Putting aside the fact that this Spirit Nourishing Jade is extremely important to me, without it I cannot cultivate, nor can I stay in the Lingyun Sect."

This is a memento left to me by my father.

I can't bear to part with it.

"Ah Yin, did I do something wrong?" Jiang Zui looked at Ji Qiyin with a pitiful expression.

"You did nothing wrong. You are not the one who made a mistake."

It was them.

They've gone too far!

Ji Qiyin had never seen anyone with such superb acting skills as Jiang Zui. After listening, he immediately pictured a pitiful little Jiang Zui, dressed in tattered clothes.

"They're awful!" Ji Qiyin's cheeks puffed out, his face contorted with rage, his hands gripping the Spirit Nourishing Jade tightly, looking utterly furious.

"What does your senior brother's injury have to do with you?"

Why should you hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade?

There are so many rare and precious treasures in the world, why would I ask you for them?

Besides, this Spirit-Nourishing Jade is so important to you. If you don't give it to them, they'll lock you up in the Demon Soul Cave. It's simply outrageous!

"Here, take good care of it. You must protect your own things." Ji Qiyin placed the Spirit Nourishing Jade into Jiang Zui's hand and said earnestly.

Throughout his life, he was always eager to help those in need, speak out for justice, and couldn't stand those who bullied the weak.

Ji Qiyin patted Jiang Zui on the shoulder and said, "Jiang Zui, don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you."

Ji Qiyin thought he had saved a pitiful person, but in reality, he was the innocent and harmless little rabbit.

"Ah Yin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have died long ago." Jiang Zui hugged Ji Qiyin excitedly.

Ji Qiyin's ears turned red from Jiang Zui's intimate gestures.

He... he had never been so close to anyone else before.

A little shy, she tried to break free, "Jiang...Jiang Zui...be gentle...I can't breathe."

Jiang Zui held Ji Qiyin's neck tightly with both hands, choking him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Upon hearing Ji Qiyin's words, Jiang Zui finally realized what was happening. Although he didn't let go, he loosened his grip considerably.

For some reason, Jiang Zui felt a strange sense of familiarity with Ji Qiyin the moment he saw him.

It's as if...they've known each other for a long time.
