Chapter 453: Cease for Now
Several hours later, Lin Xi woke up on a beach, her head still heavy and groggy, feeling uncomfortable. As she finally managed to regain her senses, she saw the unfamiliar surroundings and, remembering the events that had transpired, became instantly alert.
Qian Feng stood at a distance, arms crossed, facing the sea. As the sea breeze blew, her hair billowed and danced in the wind.
"Sister!" Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise. Qian Feng clearly woke up earlier and had the opportunity to harm Lin Xi while she was unconscious. But Qian Feng did nothing.
Qian Feng didn’t even glance at Lin Xi. "I just woke up. My supernatural power has not yet recovered. I am letting you off the hook today, but don’t get it wrong. I am not doing this out of kindness." Saying this, Qian Feng turned around and left, seeming genuinely determined not to trouble Lin Xi.
Just as Lin Xi started to feel relieved, Qian Feng suddenly stopped, not looking back, and added, "A rule is always a rule. You, of all people, should know the one that you and I have established. As long as you live, you can’t leave the Shennv Xuanhui. You must suffer the consequences of your own actions."
Lin Xi sighed in silence. She didn’t say anything about the possibility of changing such unfair rules, for Qian Feng’s temperament was well-known to her.
"Qian Ye, cherish this period of peaceful living. Because next time, I will not let you off easy." Having said that, Qian Feng disappeared into the night, riding the wind.
To this, Lin Xi couldn’t help but scoff, "She hasn’t changed a bit. She still loves to be melodramatic."
With the crisis averted, Lin Xi stood up, brushing the sand off herself. The sensation of surviving this ordeal felt incredibly strenuous.
