Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Pretending to Save Someone
"Ah! Get away!"
"Don't touch me with your filthy hands, do you know who I am?"
"I am the second miss of the Song Family, dare you... Ahhh, get away! I'll kill you!!"
"..."
Xie Jiuniang knew that Song Baobao would not die so easily, and came over with her parents, pretending to come to the rescue, only to witness such a drama from afar.
The male cultivator who had left and returned, and the two dead men, were brothers. They originally planned to wait for Song Baobao to leave when it got dark and then come to see if they could collect the bodies.
Instead, they unexpectedly found Song Baobao hanging from a tree.
What a rare opportunity!
The male cultivator's first instinct was to kill her to avenge his brothers, but as he got closer and saw the young girl's appearance, lust overcame him.
Once he had control over her, he couldn't wait to start groping her.
Indeed, lust is as dangerous as a knife over one's head.
If it doesn't cut others, it cuts oneself!
Xie Jiuniang inwardly sighed but feigned innocence, "Oh, mom, dad, it sounds like someone is crying for help in the woods ahead."
"Really? Let dad take a look."
Xie Shen's cooperation was perfect. He immediately released the imposing pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage, "You thief, let go of the girl this instant!"
The male cultivator, about to commit violence, got such a fright that he sobered up considerably. Before fleeing, he wasn't willing to let Song Baobao go.
He violently raised his dagger, aiming for Song Baobao's throat.
Just as the situation became extremely urgent, Xie Shen was about to take action.
Xie Jiuniang's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively blocked her father, urgently sending a message, "She can't die, father. Don't get too close, just pretend that's enough."
And sure enough.
When Song Baobao was attacked fatally, her body suddenly erupted with a formidable pressure.
The male cultivator was struck by a massive force, thrown dozens of feet away, and with a loud "bang," he hit the ground hard and was instantly killed.
Seeing this, Xie Shen felt a shiver down his spine.
Thank goodness his daughter stopped him!
Otherwise, had he rushed forward to save her, he would have been killed or seriously injured!
"Who dares to kill a junior of the Song Family?!"
A powerful spectral figure emerged from Song Baobao's body.
It was a Spiritual Soul of a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.
The three from the Xie Family were very close and were instantly locked onto by the Divinity Transformation of the Song Family.
Xie Shen hurriedly shielded his wife and daughter behind him and took out the token representing their identity, bowing respectfully to the Divinity Transformation Spiritual Soul of the Song Family.
"Xie Shen of the direct descendants of the Xie Family in Yunmu City pays respects to the Lord of the Song Family. My family was heading to Xi'an City, heard cries for help on the way, and came over. We meant no harm..."
And that was the truth.
He indeed intended to come over to save her, only to be a step too late.
Xie Jiuniang and Mo Lan nodded in agreement, their expressions very sincere.
"The Xie Family from Yunmu City? Yunmu City, huh..."
The Divinity Transformation Spiritual Soul of the Song Family observed the three of them, then glanced over the scene, believing Xie Shen for the most part.
Although there was room for doubt, Xie Shen was with his wife and daughter, which significantly reduced the suspicion.
If the three of them weren't backed by their family, the Song Family's Divinity Transformation might have eliminated them without a second thought.
Song Baobao was still terrified at this point and, upon seeing her ancestor, immediately tried to rush into his arms, "Second Ancestor, wah wah wah, Baobao was wrong, Baobao should not have left home, wah wah."
The Second Ancestor of the Song Family did not have a physical body at that moment. He waved his hand before Song Baobao could reach him, and a gentle force held her in place.
Xie Jiuniang blinked and spoke up softly, "Sister, don't be afraid, the bad guy is already dead."
Mo Lan followed with comfort, "Miss Song, don't be afraid, you are safe now."
After speaking, she carefully took out a peach-red cloak. Seeing that the Divinity Transformation Spiritual Soul of the Song Family had withdrawn its pressure, she walked over, tenderly draped it over Song Baobao, as if caring for a junior of her own family.
Song Baobao was wearing close-fitting armor. The man had actually stabbed at her heart, which might not necessarily have triggered the seal.
The Second Ancestor of the Song Family was, after all, just a Spiritual Soul sealed within Song Baobao's body. Once the seal was triggered, the Spiritual Soul wouldn't last long before dissipating.
They were now outside the city.
It had gotten dark, and the city gates had long been closed.
Now only Xie Shen's family could take care of Song Baobao. Xie Shen's aura was pure and righteous, and he seemed trustworthy, right?
The Second Ancestor of the Song Family spoke, "Young master of the Xie Family, I entrust my family's Baobao to your wife's care for a while. The Song Family will send people to Xi'an City to retrieve her immediately. As long as she remains unharmed during this period, the Song Family will reward you handsomely."
"Please rest assured, my Lord, I will do my utmost," Xie Shen solemnly promised.
The Second Ancestor of the Song Family gave Song Baobao a couple of instructions, touched her brow with his fingertip, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Xie Jiuniang inwardly rolled her eyes.
The old ancestor of the Song Family was still cautious with them. Before his Spiritual Soul dissipated, he left a Divine Sense mark on Song Baobao.
If anything were to happen to Song Baobao, the Song Family would know immediately.
Fortunately, Xie Jiuniang had decided to be a good kid once they got to Xi'an City and didn't plan to cause trouble before joining the Sect.
She had planned to act as a passerby the next day, help the bedraggled Song Baobao into the city, and then find a way to squeeze something out of her.
She hadn't expected the male cultivator would return.
The development of events turned out to be even better than her original plan, as the Song Family's reward was bound to be generous.
Right?!
