World-Termination-Armour was an extremely rare item on earth. Anyone who donned it would possess extraordinary powers and the wielders of such armor were known as terminators. A terminator was the main battling force of a kingdom and had a high social status. Just like the original owner of this body.
Even though she was only a 14-year-old child, she was directly assigned the role of a City Lord at such a young age after she had inherited her father’s World-Termination-Armour, making her the envy of everyone around her.
Unfortunately, because her parents were not around to take care of her since a young age, she was the constant target of bullying from her siblings and cousins. Enduring such treatment for a long time, she naturally became very weak. Despite being known as a Miss, her life was worse than the servants in her family clan.
This time, after her father died on the battlefield and left the World-Termination-Armour to her, her uncles forced her to hand over the World-Termination-Armour. Being used to bullying and oppression, she did not have the courage to fight back at all, and agreed to handing over the World-Termination-Armour to her uncles after her succession ceremony is over.
However, someone must have been unable to wait!
The burly man looked at Ji Fengyan with reverence. While instructing those bodyguards who had less severe injuries to carry the ones who were badly injured, he hugged the sword that was used by Ji Fengyan. Then, when Ji Fengyan was not looking, he felt around the place where she originally collapsed, secretly picked up the cloth she used to clean her wounds and carefully hid it.
A bodyguard at the side was perplexed as he watched his chief pick up a piece of bloodstained cloth and hid it as if he found a treasure.
“Chief, why did you pick up this useless cloth?” asked the bodyguard.
The burly man froze, turned covertly and said softly, “What useless cloth! This is a treasured object because it is stained with Miss’s blood!”
“…” The bodyguard was stunned. He thought, had his chief’s brain been struck by lightning too?
The burly man saw that the bodyguard did not understand, so he decisively whispered to him and told him about Ji Fengyan being able to summon lightning by drawing symbols using her blood.
The bodyguard was instantly shocked and he no longer mocked at the burly man. Then, he kept the sword he was holding at the side of his waist and started to bend down and search among the crushed rocks too.
“Chief don’t just think about yourself. Help me find one piece too!”
“As if! I only managed to find this piece after so long,” the burly man muttered.
“Then share a bit with me!”
“Scram!”
…
Ji Fengyan did not notice what they were doing. Her mind was already preoccupied with figuring out ways to retry her immortal cultivation in this new world.
Even if she had a replacement of body, it did not diminish her determination for immortal ascension!
The bodyguards were all almost done packing up. Luckily, their horse carriage could still be used, although it was already badly damaged from the explosion. The burly man let Ji Fengyan get onto the carriage, while the others walked outside towards their destination.
After Ji Fengyan entered the carriage, the burly man could not help but sigh.
“If Master had known that Miss was bullied in the family during those days when he was away protecting the nation who knows how heartbroken he would be.”
All these bodyguards had followed Ji Fengyan’s father to the battlefield and fought alongside together. Only after her father died did they come looking for Ji Fengyan with the World-Termination-Armour according to the Emperor’s decree.
