It’s said that the princess of Fengtian City is an outsider and is now a renowned genius throughout the Ancient World.
As for Fengtian City, it is one of the few formidable forces in the Ancient World that can rival the Divine Domain, with unfathomable strength and heritage, truly a giant.
Becoming interested in Ye Xuan, the young girl also walked towards him.
"Don’t go over there. We still don’t know if this person is good or bad. Don’t approach lightly. If he harbors ill intentions, he might be playing dead."
Jiang was still the wiser with age, as the beautiful woman stopped the girl and said.
"But didn’t we see him fall from the sky? He’s probably not pretending to be dead."
The young girl glanced at Ye Xuan again and said somewhat defensively.
"People can be deceitful. Little Qi, this is your first time leaving Stone City. You’ll understand in the future."
The woman still shook her head as she spoke.
"This man isn’t harmed by all the commotion. He must be quite strong. If we save him, he might repay us. It could turn out to be a good thing."
The girl named Little Qi walked towards Ye Xuan, and her sister, along with the other guards, could only follow helplessly. They weren’t too worried. Ye Xuan was clearly on his last leg at the moment, with not much strength to resist. Should he make any move, they would have no hesitation in taking him down.
Walking up to Ye Xuan, the young girl carefully poked him twice before helping him up.
However, just as she supported Ye Xuan’s body, the previously lifeless figure became extremely agile. In an instant, he pinned the young girl on the ground, positioning the Rain Saint Sword at her throat.
"What do you want to do?"
Though Ye Xuan was severely injured just now, he was still somewhat conscious. Coupled with his natural alertness, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to get close to him.
"Bastard, let go of my sister."
The beautiful woman’s face changed. She obviously didn’t expect her prediction to come true. Ye Xuan actually was pretending, quickly revealing aggression.
"Don’t be agitated, I just wanted to see how you were doing."
The young girl hurriedly said, appearing somewhat flustered. However, she also got a clear look at Ye Xuan’s face—despite his disheveled hair, he had a clean and handsome face, looking like a man in his twenties and not like a vicious thug.
"Is this the Ancient World?"
Only then did Ye Xuan notice that the person before him was just a little girl. Judging by her expression, she was genuinely frightened by his earlier actions.
Not releasing her immediately, Ye Xuan instead asked.
"Yes, this is the Eastern Realm of the Ancient World. You’re an outsider, right? Don’t worry, I’m the daughter of the Stone City Lord. We mean you no harm."
The young girl quickly regained her composure and persuaded.
"I believe you, but I’m not so sure about them. If I let you go and they cause me trouble, what then?"
Ye Xuan was in a bad state right now, unwilling to face so many enemies at once. It was better to be cautious, just in case.
"I promise you, as long as you let my sister go, I won’t make a move against you."
The beautiful woman said solemnly.
"My sister has always kept her word. If she says she won’t harm you, then she will definitely keep her promise."
The young girl also said softly.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate too much and let go of the young girl. Truth be told, he would never easily harm others, especially not a naive little girl.
"Young Miss, this guy dared to be rude to the Second Miss, let’s teach this scoundrel a lesson."
As Ye Xuan let go of the girl, the guards across from the two women stared intently at Ye Xuan, eager to make a move and win favor with the beauties.
"No need. I said let him go, and the people of Stone City always keep their word."
The beautiful woman shook her head, then turned to leave.
But at that moment, the young girl tugged at her clothes and said, "It’s still a bit of a distance to a safe place, and this person is seriously injured. We should bring him with us; otherwise, he might die here."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman couldn’t help but frown and said, "Little Qi, that guy just tried to hurt you, and you still care about his survival?"
"He’s not a bad person... If he wanted to hurt me, he would have done so already. He was only defending himself. Sister, if you help someone, you should help till the end. Let’s take him with us."
The young girl tugged on the woman’s sleeve insistently.
Ye Xuan seemed to hear the young girl’s voice and was momentarily stunned, then smiled. Unexpectedly, just upon entering the Ancient World, he encountered such an innocent young girl.
Thinking about his new arrival, still needing to learn many things, and this Ancient World being a no-fly zone with its terrain unknown to him, he might waste months wandering around without finding a way out. It would be better to follow this convoy to a city first.
"No, I can agree to anything else, but definitely not this. Regardless of this person’s intentions, we can’t guarantee our safety across this Ancient Land, let alone bring a burden."
The beautiful woman shook her head. This Ancient Land not only had unique Demon Beasts but also some notorious dark forces. Some of these forces were not weaker than Stone City. If they encountered them, it would be lucky just to escape.
Hearing this, the young girl also became somewhat dejected and said no more. She knew her sister’s temperament—no matter what, she wouldn’t bring someone useless with her.
"Take me with you; I can serve as your guard along the way."
At this moment, Ye Xuan’s voice suddenly came from behind.
She turned around quickly, only to see Ye Xuan’s face carrying a slight smile.
"Haha, kid, with your half-dead state, you still want to be our Young Miss’s guard? Don’t be ridiculous! You can’t even guard yourself."
Just as Ye Xuan finished speaking, he was met with sarcastic remarks from a young guard. This young guard was impressively strong, having reached the level of a Semi-Saint, making him outstanding among these guards. Furthermore, a Semi-Saint acting as a guard for two women was undoubtedly a rare sight on the Spirit Martial Continent.
"If even someone like you can be a guard, why assume I can’t? If you can defeat me single-handedly, I’ll concede immediately."
Ye Xuan said with a slightly playful smile.
"You’re courting death!"
The young guard burst into rage, immediately lunging forward with a sudden burst of True Yuan, directly attacking Ye Xuan, clearly provoked by him.
