Even though she didn’t know martial arts, she was definitely not someone to be easily bullied.
Hearing Bai Susu’s words, Feng Qitong reluctantly let go of her, then calmly said, "Sister, let me take you back first, it’s not safe here."
"Mmm, okay." Bai Susu nodded.
She knew that if she stayed here, should any more assassins come, she would only create more trouble for him.
The next moment, Feng Qitong lifted his eyes again and coldly looked across the river at the Nine-Colored Deer.
The Nine-Colored Deer had intended to slip away quietly while Feng Qitong fell into the river.
But who would have thought that just as it prepared to stand up from the grass, it saw Feng Qitong and Bai Susu emerging from the river.
It had no choice but to quickly lie back down.
Seeing Feng Qitong’s gaze full of murderous intent directed at it, it couldn’t help but internally shed tears of relief: Thankfully I didn’t run!
Otherwise, this terrifying demon would surely have killed it.
Poor thing, it had just evolved and hadn’t even enjoyed human offerings and faith, yet it had fallen into the hands of a demon.

Feng Qitong quickly brought Bai Susu to the side of the Nine-Colored Deer.
As soon as it saw Bai Susu, it immediately looked at her with tear-filled eyes.
The aura around this woman was so pure, and there was also a scent that felt familiar to it; she must be the divine maiden come to rescue it!
For a moment, the Nine-Colored Deer couldn’t help but let out a low whine toward Bai Susu.
Because the Nine-Colored Deer’s human-like plea for help was so obvious, Bai Susu found it hard to ignore.
She couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised as she looked at the Nine-Colored Deer in front of her.
This Nine-Colored Deer... is it really not a spirit?
She couldn’t help but look at Feng Qitong.
At this moment, Feng Qitong let out a cold snort, "Your eyes are quite sharp, to know that my sister is soft-hearted."
Then, with a sudden change of expression, he cheerfully looked at Bai Susu, "Sister, do you want to touch it? Its antlers are very smooth, quite a good texture. If you like, I can break one off for you as a keepsake."
Hearing this, the Nine-Colored Deer instantly burst into tears.
Crystal clear tears started to fall in large drops.
Then it let out an even more pitiful deer cry toward Bai Susu.
Seeing this, Bai Susu hastily said, "What do I need deer antlers for? Ahem, don’t scare it."
"Fine, for my sister’s sake, I’ll let it go." Feng Qitong saw that Bai Susu had no interest in collecting deer antlers or keeping the Nine-Colored Deer as a pet, so he had to regretfully say.
Though this Nine-Colored Deer was a bit timid, at least it was good-looking and quite liked by his sister.
But since his sister had no intention of keeping it, he wouldn’t insist.
Bai Susu immediately spoke to the Nine-Colored Deer, "Alright, you hurry up and leave, and next time try not to go where people are, head deeper into the mountains instead."
No one knew what this Nine-Colored Deer was thinking, to have run to Red Leaf Mountain.
Isn’t it afraid of getting discovered and captured?
Though she wasn’t interested in using its skin like a queen from a story, others might not feel the same.
Hearing Bai Susu’s words, the Nine-Colored Deer cautiously glanced at Feng Qitong.
Seeing he did not oppose, it tremulously got back on its feet.
Then it tentatively walked towards the forest.
Seeing that Feng Qitong indeed had no intention of harming it further, the Nine-Colored Deer suddenly turned back, and between its two antlers, a milky white light burst forth.
After the light appeared, it turned into a stream of light that flew towards Bai Susu.
Seeing this, Feng Qitong’s face immediately darkened, and he moved to block it.
But the light passed straight through his body, landing directly on Bai Susu.
The next moment, the Nine-Colored Deer sprinted away, disappearing in an instant.
Feng Qitong quickly turned to Bai Susu, "Susu, how do you feel?"
He should have directly killed that beast earlier.
Bai Susu quickly grabbed Feng Qitong’s hand, shook her head, and said, "I’m fine, it didn’t do it with ill intent, I think that was its blessing for me?"
Hearing this, Feng Qitong frowned, "Really?"
"Mmm, I feel really comfortable now, the cold inside me has been dispelled quite a bit." Bai Susu said seriously.
Only then did Feng Qitong’s expression relax, "That’s good."
This way, it wasn’t in vain that he spared its life.
Thinking about the maid who had tried to kill Bai Susu earlier, Feng Qitong’s expression darkened again, "Sister, let’s head back now."
