Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

Ji Xing'er blinked. When she heard this sentence for the first time, she didn't feel any excitement.

Instead, she tugged on Ji Chen's sleeve nervously, and she whispered, "Brother... I don't remember what my parents look like. I only remember my brother and mother-in-law... If my brother wants to send me back, he can be with me." Shall we go back together?"

"Of course." Ji Chen smiled and rubbed Ji Xing'er's head. When he answered, his tone was very brisk, as if he was fully prepared, and he said, "Look, Xing'er, hang up!" This sign looks very well made. Generally, those who have this kind of thing are big families. If you are really a big lady, then I will send you back and ask for a job in your family. It’s okay Right? No matter how bad you let me be a servant by your side, can't we be together forever?"

"No!" Ji Xing'er shook her head vigorously, she threw herself into Ji Chen's arms again, and said stubbornly: "A brother is a brother, so he will not be a servant! A brother will always be Xing'er's brother! If they don't Let you stay together, even if it is my home, I will not go with them!"

When Ji Chen listened to the girl's words, he had no doubts about the truth in it.There was a flash of sadness in his eyes, but he suppressed it back in an instant.

Trying to raise a smiling face, Ji Chen replied: "Okay, we will always be together. If they don't let me stay, Xing'er will go with me. No matter where it is in the ends of the earth, my brother will never wrong you."

When Ji Xing'er heard this, he finally laughed happily again.

Ji Chen was worried that he would be discovered if he got too close, so he ran for three days and three nights with Ji Xing'er on his back, and finally found a town and stopped.

He collected a lot of scattered money from the holy aunt's courtyard and the men who came to kill them.It is still affordable to find a shop to stay overnight.

Seeing that the full moon is getting closer and closer, Ji Xing'er has not been so energetic these two days.When she arrived at the inn, she immediately threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.Ji Chen looked at her worriedly, hesitated for a moment, took out the token she was wearing, and walked downstairs to the inn.

This is a small city, and there are not many people walking on the streets.The inn was also empty, and the owner, who seemed to be 50 or [-] years old, had stubble on his face and tiredness on his face, so he sat by the counter, nodding his head and dozing off.

Hearing Ji Chen's footsteps approaching, the boss finally opened his eyes and looked at him.Yawning, he asked lazily, "Does the guest want something to eat?"

"Yes." Ji Chen nodded.

His cultivation base has almost recovered now, in fact, he doesn't need to eat, and he doesn't have any problems.But Ji Xing'er is different, the little girl has never practiced any serious cultivation, and now if she doesn't eat a meal, her hungry eyes will glow green.

The boss nodded, gave Ji Chen a menu, thought about it, and took it back before Ji Chen ordered.There was a wry smile on his face, and he said: "This small shop is about to close down, and now I can't pay the bills, and the shop assistants have basically left. I haven't purchased any fresh ingredients recently, so don't order food." Now, I'll go to the back kitchen to see if there's anything to do, I'm sure it will fill you and your sister up, is that okay?"

Ji Chen glanced at the dilapidated surroundings, and nodded.

The little girl Ji Xing'er is indeed greedy, but she is not that picky when it comes to food.

After all, she is a person who has experienced that kind of hunger. She knows the preciousness of food, so she will not make any troubles because of the dishes.

The boss smiled at Ji Chen, turned around and planned to go to the back kitchen to cook.

But after only two steps, Ji Chen yelled again behind him: "Boss... I would like to ask you a question. Do you know this thing?"

As he spoke, he took out the token that had been in his hand.

The boss originally just glanced back casually, but when he saw clearly what he was holding in his hand, the boss's face immediately changed.

The drowsy weariness on his face was swept away, and he seemed to have brought up all his energy.Turning around and staring at him, he asked Ji Chen, "Little brother, where did you find this brand?"

"I didn't pick it up," Ji Chen shook his head, he said, "Tell me first, what does this sign mean, and I'll tell you later..."

The boss didn't even wait for him to finish the conditions, but he eagerly began to explain. He said: "This brand is only available to the direct descendants of the Ji family. Do you know the Ji family? It is the number one family in the entire cultivation world! You see, there are so many national sects now, and they all sound very prestigious. But the general national sects are nothing in front of the Ji family!"

Ji Chen opened his eyes slightly, with surprise written all over his face.

He really thought that Xing'er might be a young lady from a big family who fell into that dangerous hell due to various reasons.But he never thought that this "big family" would be so big!
The boss seems to have been opened up, and he is still explaining the strength of the Ji family.

The boss pulled Ji Chen to sit aside, and he said: "You are still young, and you don't seem to be very familiar with this world. When I was your age, I actually looked forward to those things outside. For example In our world, one country, two factions and one family, these four places, no matter which one you join, are the beginning of a turning point in your life. After all, these are the four greatest existences in the entire continent, and the one family here, said It's actually Ji's family!"

Ji Chen blinked, he was a little dazed.

After hesitating for a while, he followed the topic and asked, "Then...boss, which one did you join last?"

The boss smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Of course none of them joined. My cultivation base is too low and my talent is not good. They look down on me. Besides, in other words, if any of them likes me , I will definitely follow the prosperity and live a life that everyone envies. How can I still stay here and open this broken inn that will close down at any time!"

Ji Chen suddenly felt that he was really rude in asking this question.

Fortunately, the boss is obviously in high spirits now, he doesn't care about Ji Chen's problem.He just waved his hand, and then he continued: "So little brother, if this sign belongs to an acquaintance around you, then you must have a good relationship with that person! If you can make a living in Ji's family because of this, you But don't worry about it!"

Ji Chen looked down at the token in his hand.

This token really belonged to someone very important to him, and it belonged to his sister.

It's a pity that he wants to send his sister back to Ji's family because he has no life to speak of.

He wants to exchange his blood for Ji Xing'er.

He didn't know what would become of himself after the replacement.But he knew that even if he didn't die, he would turn into a monster that sucked human blood.

If that was the case, he would not allow himself to stay by Ji Xing'er's side.

He doesn't do anything that will hurt Ji Xing'er.

It was like this before, and it will still be like this in the future.

Pursing his lips, Ji Chen hesitantly asked a question that he was most concerned about, but he himself thought it was funny——

"Then... Ji's family, will they treat their own children well?"

"That's for sure!" The innkeeper slapped Ji Chen on the shoulder, and said with a bit of hatred: "He is the world's largest family! It's not good to treat guests and servants well, how can they treat their children?" Isn’t it better? Clothes, jade, food, splendor and wealth, the life that we live must not be imagined by people like us who have one meal and may not be able to have another meal!”

This gave Ji Chen the answer he was thinking about in his heart, and it was equivalent to giving him a reassurance.Ji Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, and he laughed: "This is good... This... is really great..."
