The Demon Genius Woman
Ji Xuan's

Hinata jumped straight beside the young man and propped up her body, while Zi Zi of a not-so-large size attacked the remaining 10 assassins.

With just a puff of Zi Zi's breath, the assassins were frozen and shattered into pieces.

The handsome young man looked at Hinata who was supporting his body and smiled.

"Hold on!"

"No way, all my healing pills have been used up I ate, because of that fucking killer."

The young man looked at Zi Zi who was approaching them. He saw if Zi Zi froze the assassins with just a puff of breath.

Zi Zi reduced in size and climbed onto Hinata's shoulder. Hinata diligently cleansed the young man's wounds and took out blood clotting pills as well as stamina recovery pills.

"Take this down and rest for a while, then you'll recover, I'll keep watch here."

The young man took the 2 pills Hinata gave him. He looked at the blood clotting pills meaningfully and the stamina recovery pills whose levels were much different and looked back at Hinata.

"What's wrong? Swallow up and restore yourself. I don't have much time and still want to continue my adventure."

The young man no longer wasted time and swallowed the pill Hinata had given him. He smiled faintly recovering himself.

He never expected that he would meet the girl who was always cheerful in this magical beast forest.

As long as the young man recuperated, Hinata used the time to grill the meat of the magical beast he had killed.

Feeling ripe, Hinata sent a few pieces into the space giving Zi Long and Zi Bai. Zi Mo herself did not like to eat such food. The only thing he would eat was pills.

Hinata ate the grilled meat while keeping the young man who was recovering himself. Slowly the young man opened his eyes, feeling all his wounds had been healed even some internal wounds had also healed.

It is indeed worthy of being called a high rank pill. The young man looked at Hinata who was eating voraciously with a small smile.

"You're cured? Eat it, I know you're hungry."

"Thank you."

"No problem. I was just passing by and seeing you surrounded."

The young man just kept quiet and also joined in enjoying the roast meat in front of him. He continued to look at Hinata meaningfully.

"Don't the first time I saw him, he was only at the 1st level of basic Qi, how could he progress so quickly?"

"I'm Ji Xuan, tell me how much the pills you gave me, I don't want to owe."

Hinata wiped her greasy lips and looked at the young man in front of her. He shook his head and turned his gaze to Zi Zi who was enjoying her flesh.

"No need, it's just a blood-clotting pill and stamina recovery. I Zi Hua will help if my mood is good."

Hinata looked at the young man in front of her confusedly.

"Why are the killers after you?"

"They wanted my precious things that they accidentally found."

"What is that thing?"

Hinata felt de javu upon hearing the word 'precious object'.

"Hehehe originally it wasn't mine, but I stole it in the palace treasury."

Hinata was stunned and looked strangely at Ji Xuan.

"So you stole the treasure in the palace."

"Sad, they're too poor, even this thing is just compensation from the real thief."

Hinata glared at the horror, Zi Long and Zi Bai who were inside the space laughed heartily at the young man's confession, and pitied the extremely unlucky king Qu.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Hinata's strange reaction, Ji Xuan couldn't help but ask. He was worried about Hinata's strange behavior.

"No, I'm just curious about that precious thing."

Ji Xuan scrambled Hinata's purple mane and smiled gently.

"Actually I'm just lucky, I've also been going around looking for that thing to save my teacher. His spirit was injured as he attempted to refine a master-level pill, but he was troubled by that."

Hinata held her chin and assessed Ji Xuan from top to bottom.

"So you're an alchemist?"

Ji Xuan slightly misbehaved and nodded.

"Oh yeah, who did you get that pill from? Because as far as I am in the Qu kingdom does not have a high tier alchemist."

"A month ago I got hurt and someone gave me those pills, not much I have."

Ji Xuan did not hesitate with what Hinata said and asked back.

"Where's your grandfather?"

"I ran away from him and wanted to adventure on my own. Yes, although I am very weak now, but with actual combat I can become strong."

Pud

Ji Xuan flicked Hinata's forehead making Hinata grumble in dislike.

"You're a girl, it's not good if you're wandering around on your own."

Hinata lowered her head sadly not wanting to look at Ji Xuan.

"I just don't want to rot in that little Qu kingdom, I want to see the wider world and certainly look for my parents."

Ji Xuan was shocked to hear Hinata's statement and tried to comfort her. He was very interested in Hinata even though it was not an attraction between a man and a woman.

He had the feeling of wanting to protect her as if he thought Hinata was his sister.

"If you don't mind, you can come with me and come back with me. I'll introduce you to teacher, but even if I've brought this precious treasure, I'm still not sure if teacher can recover."

Hinata took out a rather large porcelain bottle from the porcelain bottle left in the palace treasury, and gave it to Ji Xuan.

"The precious thing you took in the palace treasury was actually left behind by me. If you really want to heal your teacher, I'll give you another."

Ji Xuan was so frightened looking at Hinata and looked at the surroundings to make sure if no one was eavesdropping.

Pud

Again Ji Xuan flicked Hinata's forehead. The treatment made Hinata feel warm, seeing the obvious worry on Ji Xuan's face.

"Hua meimei, next time don't just take this thing out.. eh? So you stole some of the treasury?"

Ji Xuan was intending to scold Hinata, but finally realized that it was Hinata who stole the contents of the treasury.

"It's me, any treasure I can get more precious than this water."

Hinata was somehow able to sense if this young man in front of her was trustworthy, so she did not hesitate to say what kind of treasure she got when Ji Xuan asked.

"Agh, next time don't just take this thing out again."

"Yes." Yeah."

Hinata nodded obediently making Zi Zi look strangely at him.

"Huahua, I'll join the others, you don't mind if I stay?"

"Uhm go."

Zi Zi quickly disappeared from the sight of the two, making Ji Xuan look back at Hinata.

"Bastard your contract?"

"Yes.”

"What rating?"

"I don't know, but he can turn into a handsome young man."

Ji Xuan gaped at the place where Zi Zi had been.

"Divine Rankings?"

"I don't know for sure."

Pud

Ji Xuan once again flicked Hinata's forehead and looked at Hinata like an idiot.

"That's your contract beast, but you're not clear about it."

"I don't care, he wants to follow me. Let's get out of here, I've been so tired of being in the woods for over a month."

"Alright, but from now on call me Xuan gege."

"All right, no problem."

Hinata is basically soft and will only turn cold on the enemy or someone who is after his life.

"But Xuan Ge, you better change your clothes."

Ji Xuan was a bit embarrassed to see his messy appearance.5 minutes later Ji Xuan had finished changing clothes.

"Woaaah Xuan Ge you're quite handsome, I'm so enchanted."

Hinata looked at Ji Xuan from top to bottom and back up again while raising her eyebrows. Ji Xuan chuckled softly.

"Where are people as fascinated as you are."

"Hehe."

Hinata laughed softly as she hooked her hand on Ji Xuan's arm.

"Actually you're the first girl who wasn't fascinated by my good looks."

"Narshish, Xuan Ge can you tell me about this continent. I haven't left the Nalan family in 15 years, you know I'm just trash in their eyes."

Feeling pity for Hinata's life and not feeling any oddity for her, Ji Xuan began to explain about the continent they lived in.

"The continent where we are is the Weixiang continent, having 3 Empires, namely Yueliang, Taiyang, Xing. These 3 empires had 7 small kingdoms under them. The Qu Kingdom itself was under the Taiyang Empire."

Hinata listened to what Ji Xuan said. He recalled his conversation earlier, Ji Xuan looked down on Qu kingdom greatly making Hinata assume that Ji Xuan was a young master of one of the noble families in Taiyang Empire.

However, stupidity, whatever Ji Xuan's identity. Hinata no matter the origin did not hinder her goal.

During his journey out of the forest, Hinata finished off quite a number of low to medium-level magical beasts. Ji Xuan himself just watched from the side without interfering. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but it was Hinata who didn't want Ji Xuan to intervene.

As long as Hinata was with Ji Xuan, she had never entered the 7-layer space. It was not that he did not believe in Ji Xuan, but he had just gotten to know this young man, surely he would still have to keep a few secrets a secret.

Right now Hinata and Ji Xuan were resting, it had already been 5 days for them to walk out of the forest, but Hinata still had to consolidate her cultivation.

They sat under a tree with Ji Xuan grilling the meat. To fill his time, Hinata took out Violent Star and some herbs. Hinata was planning on making a Qi-collecting pill that matched her rank.

Hinata took a breath and exhaled slowly.

Serrrr

He threw the Rainbow Flame into the Violent Star, then slowly sent his mental energy and began to control its temperature and fire.

The meat Ji Xuan roasted had matured, but just as he wanted to take Hinata to eat, he was stunned to see Hinata concentrating on refining the pills.

Hinata's movements were quite shrewd for the level of apprentice. Seeing Hinata's way was quite relaxed in refining pills and each step. Ji Xuan was amazed, he was also an Alchemist who had been at the Intermediate level of the initial level.

Ji Xuan furrowed his brows as he watched the familiar-looking Hinata caldron.

"It looks like the caldron is not foreign, but where do I see it?"

A moment later Ji Xuan smiled mysteriously and his eyes were filled with a strange twinkle, but he suddenly froze back when he saw the flames within the caldron.

He certainly recognized the fire, as he was also a heavenly Flame user. Surely Hinata's flame rank was several levels higher than hers.

Ji Xuan looked at Hinata and shook his head. His determination grew stronger to protect this little sister.

"Ckckckck, what a walking treasure."

Hinata smiled looking at the Qi collecting pill she made. He refined around 5 sets of ingredients and produced 80 Qi collecting pills. Hinata purifies all at one time.

He took out a porcelain bottle and divided it into each bottle containing 20 pills and threw it into the 7-layer space to become his 4-contractual snack.

Hinata thought of giving the Channel Opening Pill and Red Cleansing Pill to Ji Xuan. This idea was approved by his four favorites.

He put the Violent Star back into the space and took out 2 porcelain bottles containing the Channel Opening Pill and Red Cleansing Pill.

"Xuan Ge, what's wrong with you?"

Pud

Hinata held her forehead and pursed her lips.

"Don't flick my forehead, sick tofu."

"So you're an alchemist too and your caldron and flame don't show anyone, before you're strong enough!"

Hinata nods her head to agree that she is also an alchemist, but she is confused as to why she should not show her caldron.

"What's wrong with my caldron and my flame?"

Pud

"Ge, is my forehead a can? so that makes you a hobby to nudge it.

Ji Xuan stroked Hinata's head and smiled explaining.

"Hua meimei listen, if I'm not mistaken, your caldron is Violent Star who is ranked 2nd in the heavenly cauldron. Not only that, Violent Star is also capable of purifying your weapons and fire is a heavenly flame named Rainbow Flame ranked 5th Heavenly Flame. If you are not strong enough or have a backer who can protect you, never show these two things in public. If you stay naughty, it could be that greedy experts will kill you and snatch both of these things."

Hinata's purple eyes that originally looked soft and warm became extremely cold and filled with killing intent, even Hinata involuntarily let out her killing lust.

"If one comes, I will kill them if 2 come then I will also kill them. Ge can rest easy, I'm not that stupid to take out my valuables in front of people I don't trust."

Ji Xuan was stunned to see the cold rays on Hinata's purple bead, there was even killing intent within it. Not only that, a fairly dense murderous appetite enveloped Hinata.

"What kind of life did this girl live? so that his killing aura was very thick."

Then he smiled gently when he heard Hinata's last sentence which signified that Hinata trusted him very much.

He pulled Hinata into his arms and stroked her head.

"I don't know what kind of life you've been through, but believe me as long as there's still this handsome brother of yours, I promise to protect you."

Hinata was stunned and wanted to push the original Ji Xuan into her arms, but she froze upon hearing what Ji Xuan said.
