"Miss Ji Peishan, are you still awake now?"

A neutral voice came from outside, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Ji Yuwei said "hmm", stood up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were two heavily armed men in black robes and masks on their faces.

When facing Ji Yuwei, who was holding Ji Peishan's face, their attitude was quite polite. However, the real Ji Peishan was not so lucky. She was dragged away like a bag of worthless goods.

Ji Yuwei's heart was still pounding. She followed the man in black robe to the end of the corridor.

It was a spiral staircase with several doors in the middle. Every time Ji Yuwei thought she had arrived at her destination, there were new steps behind the door.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, and her legs were a little weak. The person next to her reminded her friendly: "Hold on, we'll be there soon."

She wanted to say "thank you", but felt that thanking her was not in line with Ji Peishan's character, so she didn't answer.

The man in black robe opened the last heavy wooden door. Inside was a small banquet hall with only one long table. Other guests had already taken their seats, waiting for her.

The guests wore more gorgeous clothes than during the day. The ladies wore court dresses with large skirts that can only be seen in oil paintings, while the men wore tuxedos with complicated decorations.

Each of them wore a red mask on their face, so that Ji Yuwei could not see their true appearance.

The man in black robe helped her pull out the chair. The plate in front of her contained a black fruit, which looked like some kind of human organ.

This is what Chu Yao calls the Five Elements Fruit, exuding an overripe sweet aroma and a fatal allure.

The eyes of the others at the table were encouraging. In their expectations, Ji Yuwei picked up the knife and fork, cut off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.

Ji Yuwei was stunned for a moment. It was actually salty, as if her tears for twenty-six years had been condensed into this small fruit.

At the same time, she felt that something that should belong to her returned to her body.

At this moment, she seemed to be absorbed by the Five Elements Fruit, her mind went blank, and she could only keep performing mechanical movements - picking up a piece of fruit flesh, putting it in her mouth, chewing, swallowing...

Soon, almost all the pulp of the Five Elements Fruit entered Ji Yuwei's belly.

At the critical moment, she suddenly remembered her agreement with Chu Yao.

If you want to get the flowers of the Five Elements Fruit, you don't need a whole complete Five Elements Fruit, even a small piece of pulp will do.

They had agreed before that Ji Yuwei would find a way to keep as much of the pulp as possible and bring it to Chu Yao.

"Child, there is only one last bit left. This thing is hard-earned, so don't waste it." A kind voice said.

Ji Yuwei glanced at the black fruit base on the plate and asked in surprise: "Do you want to eat this too?"

"Of course, it's also part of the fruit. Although it doesn't taste good, for your future, you'd better eat it all."

Ji Yuwei nodded, picked up the fruit stalk with her hand, pretended to put it in her mouth, but actually hid it quietly in her hand.

She deliberately made a swallowing motion, and everyone at the table applauded happily.

In order to express their welcome to her, they took off the masks on their faces one by one. Ji Yuwei opened her eyes slightly. These people were all famous figures in the imperial capital.

"Congratulations, you are about to have a new life."

newborn?

Ji Yuwei couldn't help but clenched the fruit in her hand, her heart moved. Chu Yao didn't tell her, what would happen if she ate the complete Five Elements Fruit?

Will her destiny really be returned to her?

She didn't want much before. Being able to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life was already very satisfying.

But after being ridiculed in front of Chu Yao today, she felt that she seemed to have changed, became greedy, and wanted to ask for something that did not belong to her.

Only when she is strong can she protect others, instead of waiting for others to protect her.

No, how can it be called greedy?

That should have been her destiny. She lent it to Ji Peishan for twenty-six years, which was enough to repay the Ji family's debt.

Besides, Chu Yao also said that she was not wrong, it was Ji Shaocheng who was wrong.

On the way back, every time she stepped on a step, she would become more determined in her thoughts.

"I... Where is my sister? You won't kill her, right?" Ji Yuwei said in Ji Peishan's tone.

"Of course not." The man in black robe replied, "We just used some rituals on her, not torture on her. She has returned to her room now."

Ji Yuwei said thoughtfully: "So that's it. When can the cruise ship dock?"

"About six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Four o'clock in the morning.

Chu Yao suppressed his sleepiness. It had been more than four hours since Ji Yuwei left, but neither she nor Ji Peishan came back.

Although I don’t know how long it will take to hold the ceremony, judging from the time when the cruise ship docks, it cannot be more than five o’clock.

Could it be that Ji Yuwei was discovered?

Impossible, not to mention that her disguise skills have reached the point of perfection. Before Ji Yuwei set off, Chu Yao gave her several protective talismans.

Whether it is a ghost or a human being, as long as he has ill intentions towards Ji Yuwei, Fu Lu will immediately fight back and tell Chu Yao Ji Yuwei's location.

Moreover, the purpose of Ji Shaocheng and the banquet organizer was to divert Ji Yuwei's luck, not to kill her.

Even if they really found out that Ji Yuwei and Ji Peishan had swapped their appearances, they would not kill Ji Yuwei, so that they would not be able to take away her destiny.

When Chu Yao was about to go out, his phone suddenly received a text message.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I have enough courage to face it, so I chose to give up. And, thank you, you are the best person I have ever met in my life."

The sender is Ji Yuwei.

Chu Yao frowned and raised his hand to calculate Ji Yuwei's position. He was very close to her.

She quickly chased after it. The other end of the corridor was connected to the deck. She saw a pure white figure in the distance.

Ji Yuwei walked slowly on the deck. Under the moonlight, her shoulders seemed to be covered with a veil.

Chu Yao remembered that it was the skirt she wore when she first went out.

Why didn't she come to him instead of changing her clothes with Ji Peishan first?

Perhaps sensing Chu Yao's gaze, Ji Yuwei looked back at her, her index finger raised in front of her mouth, and she shook her head gently.

Then, plunge down.
