Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

Chapter 675: Sinking? Being looked down upon!

Shiji heard Guige solemnly agree to him, and his tone didn't sound like a joke at all.

A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He secretly prayed that he could be worthy of the trust of the Elf King, and also hoped that Gui Ge would be safe and not suffer any harm.

Shiji just glanced at Guige quickly, his eyes filled with endless trust. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Guige would really not lie to him.

Gui Ge noticed her brother's strange look and couldn't help but smile.

"Brother, you are staring at me like that. Are you doubting what I said?"

Shiji quickly waved her hands to deny it, fearing that Guige would misunderstand her, and quickly explained: "No, no, don't think too much. Of course I believe you. You are my sister. It is because I believe in you that I look at you this way."

Gui Ge nodded and said confidently: "Brother, you can rest assured, I will definitely protect him."

Shiji smiled and expressed her belief.

The sky gradually darkened, the sun slowly set, and the evening breeze occasionally brushed the tips of my hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Look at the weather, we have to go, otherwise it will be troublesome to go home after dark. Brother, let's get going."

When Shiji heard this, she was a little flustered. Why did she want to go back so soon? Did she want me to go back with her? No, if I go back, my identity will be exposed, and that will be bad. I will definitely be killed.

Shiji walked forward and gently touched Guige’s head.

"I'm tired today. I've walked so far. The whole day has passed. You should go home quickly."

Gui Ge looked up in surprise when she heard this. She felt that she had made it very clear that they were going back together, so why did her brother let her go back alone?
"Brother, what do you mean? Let's go home together. We finally found you. You don't know how long we have been looking for you. Now that we have found you, shouldn't we go home?"

Gui Ge spoke affectionately, holding her brother's hand tightly, hoping that her brother could go home with her.

Shiji didn't reveal that he was not her brother before, just wanted to use this identity to make her stop attacking him, but he didn't expect to dig a big hole for himself now. Shiji regretted it so much, thinking that if he had known this would happen, he would never admit that he was her brother.

"It's not that I don't want to go home. I've been outside for a long time and I've gotten used to it. I hope you can understand me. The world is so big and I want to go out and explore, gain some experience before going home. Home is good, but I can't always hide at home." Shiji took great pains to make up a reason and explained patiently.

Gui Ge didn't want to give up just like that, and wanted to persuade his brother to change his mind.

"But... I know you like to venture out, see the outside world, and make new friends. But I don't understand, as long as you go back, you can inherit the Demon Realm and become the Demon King, and you can get everything you want. Isn't this much more important than the outside world?"

Even though Gui Ge's words were so moving and seductive, Shi Ji knew in her heart that she was just an impostor and would be exposed if she went back with her, so she had to refuse.

Shiji shook her head and continued, "I understand what you mean, and I know you are doing this for my own good. I understand everything you said."

Before Shiji could finish, Guige eagerly retorted: "You know why don't you come back with me? As long as you go back, you will have everything at home. I really don't understand what you are nostalgic for in the outside world?"

Shiji continued, "I really don't want to go back now. I don't think I have the ability yet. I can't inherit the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm now, and the world outside is much more interesting than the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm. I hope you can understand me. But don't worry, I will definitely go home when I have enough experience."

After hearing this, Gui Ge understood, but there was really nothing she could do. She knew that once her brother made a decision, no matter how much others tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

Gui Ge had to reluctantly agree to Shiji's request.

"Okay then, brother, but you have to be careful out there. If you want to go back to the Demon Realm, come back quickly. We will always wait for you. But you must come back!"

Shiji pretended to hug Guige affectionately, and then said: "I know, sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and you should take care of yourself too."

After saying that, Gui Ge reluctantly let go of his brother. It was really getting late, so they had to leave quickly, otherwise it would be dark soon.

So Gui Ge said, "It's getting late, brother, so we'll leave first."

The Elf King also said: "Take care, my friend!"

When Shiji heard this, she also waved her hand quickly.

"Goodbye, have a safe journey! Take care!"

The carrier pigeon also waved goodbye to Shiji, and then they set off.

Shiji waved her arms and watched Guige and the Elf King walk away. Although they were not real siblings, and naturally did not have the unforgettable pain of separation, Shiji felt a faint sadness in her heart as she watched them leave.

The figures of Gui Ge and the Elf King were getting farther and farther away, and finally Shi Ji was the only one standing there, waving his hands blankly with a far-reaching gaze, as if he was attracted by the scenery in the distance.

The pigeon watched them leave, and felt that it was time for him and Shiji to come to an end, so he mustered up the courage to speak: "Mrs. Shi, I have something to discuss with you."

Shiji was still gazing into the distance, his mind wandering, and he did not respond immediately. Seeing this, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings vigorously, creating a breeze in front of Shiji, trying to wake his attention.

Shiji felt the breeze on her face and finally came to her senses. She asked in confusion, "Hmm? Pigeon, what's the matter with you?"

The pigeon repeated with some displeasure: "Mrs. Shi, I said I have something to discuss with you."

Shiji then turned his gaze to the carrier pigeon and said softly, "Oh, tell me."

The pigeon was still a little shy, but still mustered up the courage to speak: "Stone Lady, I want you to be my master, is that okay?"

Shi Ji was shocked when he heard this. Although he had a good relationship with the pigeon, they had only known each other for a short time, and the pigeon's sudden request did surprise him.

He asked in surprise: "What? Are you serious? Stop joking, this is not funny."

The carrier pigeon flew to Shiji, looked him straight in the eye, and said seriously, "Mrs. Shi, I am serious. I am not joking. I never lie. I hope you believe me."

Shiji's expression became serious. He looked at the pigeon carefully, trying to find the answer from its eyes.

"Okay, I believe you. But why me? We haven't known each other for long."

The pigeon continued, "Because Lady Stone is a good person, someone worthy of my following. After staying with you for a while, I can feel your care and protection, your responsibility to your friend the Elf King, and your commitment to Gui Ge. I believe that you have many good qualities that I haven't discovered yet, so I want to continue to stay by your side and grow with you. I also believe that you are a talented person, and I hope you can accept me."

After hearing what the pigeon said, Shiji felt a warm current in his heart. He didn't expect that his small actions would be so important to the pigeon. He was also willing to be the owner of the pigeon.

"Carrier pigeon, have you made up your mind? Once you make a choice, you can't change it easily. Also, there are many dangers around me, so you must be mentally prepared."

The carrier pigeon patted his chest and said firmly: "I have made up my mind! I will never change my mind!"

Shiji nodded, and the two hit it off and signed the contract. After that, they set out on a new journey again.

……

Shiji walked on the road with the pigeon for a while and soon approached the border. He looked at the border line not far away and smiled with relief. After walking for so long, he was finally there.

Just as he was about to speed up his pace and continue forward, two groups of people suddenly rushed out from behind the rocks on the roadside. Both groups were wearing black clothes and had their faces covered, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

As soon as they appeared, they surrounded Shiji and the pigeon without saying a word. Shiji looked at the people in front of him and felt nervous: Oh no, it looks like there will be another fierce battle.

It turned out that these people were warriors hired by the Dragon and Tiger Palace at a high price to avenge Shiji. They were all very skilled and attacked Shiji as soon as they saw her.

Unlike the ordinary ones, these people did not use weapons such as swords, but used their true qi to attack. Their true qi was sufficient and had extremely strong lethality.

Shiji evaded their attacks tactfully and was able to fight them evenly at first. But the Dragon and Tiger Palace had invested heavily this time and invited many experts among the warriors. After all, Shiji was fighting alone, and after a long time, his physical strength gradually declined and his flaws were frequently exposed.

When the carrier pigeon saw that Shiji was injured and they were outnumbered, they hurriedly urged Shiji to retreat.

So Shiji fought and retreated, intending to leave this place of trouble.

The crowd confronted each other like this for a long time. When Shiji took a step back, those warriors took a step forward and chased after him relentlessly.

"The situation is not good." Shiji whispered to the pigeon elf beside him.

The pigeon spirit flapped its wings, stirring up a whirlwind, and turned to look at Shiji: "Madam Shi, why do you say that?"

"We have been forced to the border, and there are so many of us. I'm afraid this place can't hold and will collapse." Shiji explained, while glancing back. He had noticed that the soil here was very weak.

"What should we do then?" asked the pigeon elf anxiously.

Shiji took a small step back calmly and said with a smile: "Let it be."

Facing so many enemies, Shiji had a hard time fighting. She didn't know what she would encounter if she fell, but it was better than being stuck like this. Even the unknown danger had an inexplicable attraction.

The leading warrior shouted, "Shiji, stop hiding. There is no way out behind you!"

"I'll just hide, what can you do to me?" Shiji responded. He had already stopped attacking and only defended occasionally.

"Hmph, you are really stubborn. In that case, let's let you have another taste of our power!" The leading warrior said, clasping his hands together and muttering something. After a while, a black gas emerged from his side, and the other warriors also emerged from black gas, gathering together and obeying the command of the leading warrior.

"Please go ahead." Shiji smiled secretly in his heart. It was the first time he had seen such a long-winded warrior. Usually, wouldn't they just attack directly and then make a surprise attack? Why was this person silent at the beginning, but now he seemed to be talking like a chatterbox?
Looking at the leading warrior who was still waving the black energy there, Shiji just hoped that he could finish his posture quickly and then rush up with his men.

The leading warrior waved his hand and ordered the black energy to attack Shiji, laughing at the same time: "You are quite arrogant. Let's see if you can withstand this move of mine, hahahaha!"

The black gas condensed into a large ball and rushed towards Shiji.

The pigeon spirit flapped its wings, stirring up a gust of wind that blew up dust on the ground. The gust of wind rushed towards the black gas, and although it failed to repel it, it also weakened a lot of its attack power.

The black gas was divided into three groups. Shiji had already put up a shield to protect him and the pigeon elf.

The black gas hit the shield and scattered, leaving several cracks on the ground.

At this time, the ground behind Shiji began to fall dirt and small stones.

"Shi Niangzi, the ground is about to crack!" The pigeon fairy shouted anxiously. Although Shi Ji had said that he wanted to fall down with the cracks in the ground, he would definitely get hurt, and she didn't want Shi Ji to get hurt.

"Don't worry." Shiji comforted.

The pigeon elf thought for a moment and said, "How about I trick them here and you take the opportunity to escape and let them fall?"

"It would be fun if we fell down together, don't you think?" Shiji said with a smile.

Due to the interference of strong wind and black air, their conversation was not heard by the warriors.

"What I have to do now is to irritate them and make them angry and humiliated." Shiji thought, since they accepted the benefits to deal with me, I can't let them have an easy time, I have to drag them to "play" together.

"Is that all? You didn't even touch a hair of mine, and you still say you are so powerful? I think you are just so-so." Shiji continued to provoke.

"Although I can't beat you, I can defend against your attacks. Humph, it seems that you are not even as good as me." Shiji laughed at them.

The leading warrior, who originally thought that this place was a little unusual, was instantly enraged and forgot all about the cracks in the ground and anything else that was wrong.

He turned and shouted to the group of warriors: "Brothers, do you think you are weak?"

"Not weak!" the group of warriors responded in unison.

"Okay! Since everyone thinks that they are not weak, how can we let others look down on us! Brothers, listen to my orders, come together, let him open his eyes and see whether we are weak or not!" The leading warrior shouted loudly.

The group of warriors shouted over and over again like a repeater: "Let him see!"

"Boss, I feel something is wrong. This place seems to be sinking." One of the warriors raised his arms and said worriedly.

The leading warrior immediately gave him a slap in the face: "What do you mean by sinking? Is this our business? What is our mission? Don't mention things that are not related to the mission! The only thing that is wrong is that Shiji looks down on us!" He scolded the warrior who was beaten.

Shiji had already crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a show. He whispered to the pigeon elf, "What a good show! I have never seen such a stupid warrior before."
