Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Qi Fengyi Faces It Alone
Chapter 46 -46 Qi Fengyi Faces It Alone
Xiang Ying couldn’t understand: “If it is so important, why give it to me instead of keeping it yourself?”
Her pitch-black phoenix eyes were piercingly clear and sharp.
She sized up Qi Fengyi from head to toe.
Xiang Ying suddenly said in a deep voice: “You’re not thinking of doing something foolish, are you?”
These past few days, Qi Fengyi hadn’t spoken much and was exceptionally silent.
Xiang Ying knew that she must be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
Qi Fengyi lowered her eyelashes, her short hair fluttered in the night breeze, revealing a resolute look in her eyes.
“I won’t do anything foolish. These past few days, I have been observing the elder princess. You are not the lascivious woman as the rumors describe. Instead, you are a brave and capable woman.”
“The Qi Family Army originally had one hundred thousand elite soldiers, but now more than half have died or have been injured. Before the city’s fall, I ordered the Deputy General to lead the remaining half to escape. As long as the green hills remain, there is hope to restore our country.”
“Therefore, handing over the Commander’s Seal to the elder princess was a well-considered decision.”
Having said that, she knelt down and held her hands high above her head: “The Qi Family Army will definitely follow the elder princess with all their might.”
Xiang Ying pulled Qi Fengyi back to her feet.
“I’ll accept the Commander’s Seal, consider it entrusted to me for safekeeping, and I’ll return it to you whenever you want it back.”
Qi Fengyi had actually hidden the Commander’s Seal in her wound; no wonder it never healed properly.
However, Xiang Ying admired her.
In a situation where she couldn’t even protect her own honor, Qi Fengyi secured the remaining strength of the Qi Family Army and kept it out of the hands of thieves.
Xiang Ying grabbed the Commander’s Seal and with a flick of her wrist, it vanished into a space.
“How about I apply some medicine to your wound?” Xiang Ying offered.
Qi Fengyi shook her head: “No need, thank you, elder princess.”
She left from behind the tree.
Watching her departing figure, Xiang Ying felt there was something odd about Qi Fengyi’s demeanor.
After some thought, Xiang Ying instructed Tao Xue to pay special attention to Qi Fengyi’s actions.
By nightfall, they camped in the wilderness next to a waypoint with the Exile Team.
When everyone was about to fall asleep, Tao Xue went out under the pretext of relieving herself, then came back.
“Elder Princess,” Tao Xue gently woke Xiang Ying and whispered, “I just saw Qi Fengyi hiding a sharpened wooden stick in her sleeve and heading into the forest.”
Xiang Ying instantly opened her dark and shimmering phoenix eyes.
“Stay here and watch the child, I’ll go see what she’s up to.” She rose decisively and silently slipped into the forest.
However, after walking for a while, she saw no sign of Qi Fengyi.
Xiang Ying couldn’t help but wonder, could Tao Xue have been mistaken?
Just then, an extremely faint groan came from a certain direction.
The sound was faint, but it couldn’t escape Xiang Ying’s sensitive hearing.
She immediately strode toward that place.
Amidst the cover of the trees, silhouettes were indeed visible up ahead. Using a giant rock to conceal her figure, Xiang Ying peered out.
Qi Fengyi was pinned to the ground by two soldiers, a gag stuffed into her mouth, and beside her lay a broken wooden stick.
Captain Jia clasped his bleeding palm, cursing from the pain: “Damn wench! I knew if I didn’t break your arms, you’d bite like a mad dog.”
It seemed he had just been stabbed by Qi Fengyi.
Dissatisfied, Captain Jia brutally kicked Qi Fengyi in the stomach.
She already had a wound there, and the kick caused Qi Fengyi to whine in pain, her face reddened in agony as she gasped for breath.
But Qi Fengyi refused to submit; her eyes looked as though stained with bloody hatred, harshly gouging into Captain Jia.
“I have no patience to play with you, hand over the other half of the Commander’s Seal quickly, or you know my brothers here have their ways. They will surely make your life miserable!”
Qi Fengyi made muffled noises through her mouth, which prompted Captain Jia to remove the gag, curious to hear what she really had to say.
To his surprise, Qi Fengyi spat fiercely, hitting him right in the face.
“One-on-one you stand no chance, you scum who only knows how to win by numbers. If you want the Qi Family’s Commander’s Seal, you’re eight hundred lifetimes too early!”
Captain Jia was infuriated by her tone: “If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll really think I don’t dare to kill you?”
“Unwilling to hand it over, eh? Fine, I’ll strip you naked and see where you can hide it then.”
However, Qi Fengyi’s gaze was not filled with the humiliation and panic he expected.
What Captain Jia didn’t know was that in her heart, Qi Fengyi was forcing herself to repeat the words Xiang Ying had said to her.
[Her dignity is her weapon; it is not on her body, not beneath her skirt.]
As long as she can still fight, she will not feel shame for losing her chastity.
Captain Jia was somewhat taken aback: “Looks like you truly aren’t scared. You’re not crying like the first time, quite the rarity.”
The soldiers by his side could no longer restrain themselves, licking their teeth with the tip of their tongues, snickering lewdly.
“Team leader, this woman has such a sharp tongue, why waste words on her? Why not let the brothers…”
Captain Jia held his head high: “Go ahead, strip her. This time let you guys have a full blast, but remember to leave her alive.”
“Right, I have to cut out her tongue to prevent her from speaking wrongfully. Wouldn’t want Jie Chen to hear and cause me to be punished.”
Just thinking of Jie Chen made Captain Jia fume with anger.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ying stepped out.
Footsteps echoed, causing Captain Jia and the others to look up abruptly: “Who’s there!”
Under the moonlight, the beauty advancing towards them had pitch-black hair, red lips, and snow-white skin, complementing each other beautifully.

Captain Jia squinted his eyes: “Convict Xiang Ying? What, did Jie Jianjun fail to satisfy you, leading you to seek joy with the brothers instead?”
The soldiers sniggered, gazes filled with ill intent.
Xiang Ying approached him, her red lips softly uttering: “Name your price, how much to let Qi Fengyi go?”
Captain Jia raised his eyebrows, sneered: “A female convict from the Exile Team trying to buy her life? Where did you get the money from, couldn’t be from sleeping around, could it?”
The soldiers roared with laughter.
Qi Fengyi, pinned to the ground, felt unbearable agony seeing Xiang Ying being humiliated, even worse than being killed herself.
“Elder Princess, don’t mind me, you…”
She didn’t finish her plea before her mouth was gagged again with the cloth.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes were calm and composed, as she directly pulled out a silver purse from her sleeve.
Her slender fingertips hooked onto the purse, extending it towards Captain Jia.
“Take a look, is this enough?”
Captain Jia was taken aback, opened it to look, and found it to be a bag of gold leaf.
“Jie Chen’s woman is indeed different, carrying so much money without it being confiscated.”
He clicked his tongue, impressed, and appropriated the gold leaf as his own.
Captain Jia kicked Qi Fengyi lightly: “Didn’t expect her life to be worth so much to the elder princess, did you? Well, if that’s the case, this much money isn’t enough.”
“And besides, I’m not short on money, what I lack are women who can satisfy me! You used to be the elder princess, born delicate and tender. Why not let yourself…”
He snickered maliciously, stretching out his hand to touch Xiang Ying’s cheek.
Suddenly.
Xiang Ying grabbed his finger, Captain Jia stunned for a moment, tried to pull away, but couldn’t match her strength.
“I’m a person who prefers courtesy before force,” Xiang Ying’s red lips parted as she smiled, “Since these gold leaves can’t loosen your tongue, they’re certainly enough to buy your lives.”
No sooner had the words fallen, she threw a swift uppercut, sending Captain Jia flying.
He, along with his teeth, soared a meter away.
Captain Jia staggered to his feet, spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with four teeth.
“Kill her!!” his lips whistled with the leakage of air, eyes bloodshot with rage.
