Chapter 162: Ji Tianxin's Pressure

When this voice rang out, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the tiny figure outside the hall.

Standing before the hall, the little girl looked like a doll carved from pink jade. Just standing there, she resembled an elf who had strayed into the mortal world—untainted by worldly dust, holy and beautiful.

Her skin was as porcelain-white as snow, and her wide-sleeved, cross-collared, belted long dress made her frame appear even more soft and petite. She looked as though a gentle pinch could shatter this delicate doll.

Ji Yuanruo remained speechless, simply staring blankly at Ji Tianxin.

Watching her appear before the hall, watching her take tiny step after tiny step, cross the threshold, and walk inside.

The jade pendants at her waist chimed with crisp, tinkling sounds as she moved forward.

Suqing followed closely behind, her gaze ice-cold.

Ji Tianxin walked in slowly. Upon seeing her, Ji Yucheng instinctively and fearfully hid behind Chen Yi.

Ji Tianxin swept a calm glance over all the members of the Chen family present and said, "I killed Chen."

Ji Yuntian and Ji Huailai both felt an inexplicable sense of having their faces slapped right now.

My dear little ancestor, surely they hadn't just stubbornly refused to admit it, only for her to come out and slap them in the face so quickly.

What difference would that make from their previous stubborn denial and shameless耍赖 (refusal to admit fault)?

There is no denying that father and son are indeed father and son; even their thoughts were identical at this moment.

"Uncle, it's her! She's the one who killed mother!" Ji Yucheng said viciously.

The moment they saw Ji Tianxin, Chen Nan and several other members of the Chen family all stood up at once.

A hint of excitement flickered in Chen Nan's eyes, and his gaze fixed on Ji Tianxin carried a trace of fanaticism. "It really is you!"

Immediately afterward, Ji Yuntian and Ji Huailai also stood up one after another.

Chen Yi said coldly, "Since you've confessed yourself, I'll kill you abomination first, and then hold the General's Manor accountable!"

Treating Ji Tianxin as an ordinary child, Chen Yi immediately drew a sword, and a flash of cold light instantly erupted.

Ji Huailai frowned. This Chen Yi must have something wrong with his brain...

He probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Ji Yuntian was not worried at all. Given the cultivation of this little monster of theirs, it was utterly impossible for an ordinary person to harm her.

Ji Tianxin furrowed her brows slightly, as if Chen Yi's previous remark had displeased her.

"Uncle, be careful. This little monster is extremely eerie," Ji Yucheng warned.

Chen Yi paid no mind to what Ji Yucheng had said and was about to strike when he was stopped by Chen Nan.

"Wait!" Chen Nan intercepted Chen Yi's attack.

He stepped forward, looked down at Ji Tianxin, and demanded in a deep voice, "You're the girl who took away that spirit beast in the forest the other day? Tell me, where is that spirit beast?!"

The head of the family had instructed them to always refer to it as a spirit beast outside, to avoid others discovering that they were also tracking down the sole ferocious beast of the Tianwu Continent.

Sometimes, Ji Tianxin did not like looking up at people.

Especially since she was short right now, and tilting her neck upwards was very tiring.

And this "sometimes" happened to be right now.

Furthermore, she thoroughly disliked the way this person spoke, and on top of that, he wanted to snatch Shiyue away.

A sudden chill gathered between her brows. At that very moment, everyone present felt a soul-crushing terror! Along with utter insignificance! A overwhelming sense of humbleness, making them feel as minuscule as dust, instantly enveloped the minds of every single person there. This humbleness was so potent that it made their knees grow weak, compelling them to fall to their knees in worship!
