Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1117: Blood Eagles Go Wild

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Blood Eagles Go Wild

i Ji’s words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving Jiu Ge and Qin Sisi stunned as if turned to stone.

Qin Sisi instinctively glanced at Jiu Ge, who wore the sa expression of astonishnt, his eyes wide and mouth agape.

Qin Sisi stepped back in despair. She was already engaged to Ye You—if anything happened between her and Jiu Ge, how would she face Ye You afterward?

Jiu Ge also looked apologetically at Qin Sisi, seeing the shock and fear etched across her face as she staggered backward, her complexion turning pale.

A sharp pang stabbed through Jiu Ge’s heart.

She didn’t want this. She would never want this.

If she didn’t want it, how could he bear to force her?

Jiu Ge took a deep breath, squared his shoulders, and said to i Ji, "Mother, forced love bears no sweetness. Your son prefers mutual affection, not brute imposition."

"Heh," i Ji chuckled softly, covering her lips as she said, "My dear Jiu’er is quite the romantic. But I’m sincerely sorry—this woman’s identity is far from ordinary, so you have only two choices: either you sleep with her, or I kill her."

An overwhelming, inescapable pain surged within Jiu Ge. Gritting his teeth, he asked with difficulty, "Mother, must you force ?"

i Ji didn’t answer him directly. Instead, she dusted off the gray specks on his clothes with her fingers and said gently, "Jiu’er, aren’t you the one who listens to Mother the most?"

Jiu Ge closed his eyes in despair and pleaded, "Mother, I don’t want this. Please don’t push ."

i Ji replied with a mocking smile, "Jiu’er, Mother can tell—she’s still a virgin. Sleep with her, and you’ll be very happy."

Jiu Ge dug his nails into his palms, his throat dry as he struggled to say, "I don’t want that kind of happiness."

He had slept with countless won before, only to be left with boundless loneliness and emptiness after brief monts of pleasure—along with a faint but relentless guilt and self-reproach. He didn’t want to continue down that path.

i Ji nodded, her beautiful eyes glinting with murderous intent. She said viciously, "Fine. Since you refuse to sleep with her, I’ll just kill her."

As she finished speaking, i Ji raised her arm, releasing a light blue surge of Wind Attribute Magic Power. A commanding "Wind Sky Slash" hurtled toward Qin Sisi.

The disparity in power between i Ji and Qin Sisi had always been evident. Now, with her body poisoned by restrictive magic, Qin Sisi could barely summon any magic power—escaping i Ji’s attack was utterly impossible.

i Ji struck with calculated cruelty, holding nothing back. The Wind Sky Slash slamd toward Qin Sisi, leaving no chance for her to survive.

Qin Sisi retreated several steps in urgency, but she couldn’t evade the range of the magical assault. Her eyes widened in horror as the pale blue glow of the approaching Wind Sky Slash grew nearer.

Just as it was about to strike her, the Wind Sky Slash’s magic power suddenly halted. Standing before Qin Sisi was Jiu Ge, who had summoned all his strength to manifest the Heavenly Wind Barrier, blocking i Ji’s attack.

After a brief stalemate, the Heavenly Wind Barrier shattered, neutralizing most of the Wind Sky Slash’s force. The remaining shockwave struck Jiu Ge squarely.

"Young Master!" Li Li, standing by the door, cried out in alarm and tried to rush forward to steady the staggering Jiu Ge.

i Ji whirled around sharply and shot Li Li a fierce glare. Li Li imdiately froze in place, retreating hesitantly to the doorway, her heart a maelstrom of turmoil.

Young Master, if the person i Ji wanted to kill was , would you save

the sa way?

Qin Sisi was equally stunned by Jiu Ge’s intervention. Seeing him injured, she hurried forward and supported his arm, asking softly, "Are you okay?"

Blood seeped from the corner of Jiu Ge’s mouth, and the playful arrogance that had once filled his gaze was nowhere to be found. Looking at i Ji, his expression turned bitter as he pleaded once more, "Mother, I beg you—stop forcing ."

i Ji, inadvertently injuring her own son, felt a strange mix of grief and anger. She approached Jiu Ge, raising her hand to wipe the blood from his lips, and said softly, "Jiu’er, everything Mother does is for your own good. You’re the only one I love in this world."

Qin Sisi turned her head and cast a sharp glance at i Ji. If she weren’t outmatched, she would’ve slapped her across the face without hesitation.

What kind of mother is this? She’s nothing short of insane. It’s a miracle Jiu Ge hasn’t gone mad along with her.

But lacking strength, there was no choice but to endure in silence. As Qin Sisi turned her gaze away, she inadvertently caught sight of Li Li at the doorway.

Li Li’s hand was clenched tightly around the long sword that had accompanied her for years, her knuckles protruding visibly as her hand trembled slightly. Her downcast eyes concealed any trace of her emotions.

Qin Sisi sighed inwardly. Li Li cared so deeply for Jiu Ge—she must be suffering as well, watching him tornted like this. Yet neither of them could match i Ji, so all they could do was endure.

"Jiu’er, she’s Ye You’s fiancé, which makes her our enemy. If she submits to you and betrays Ye You, I’ll surely spare her life. But if she refuses, I must kill her. Letting her go would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountain—it would pose a grave threat. If Ye You gets his hands on us in the future, he’ll show no rcy," i Ji explained, attempting to reason with Jiu Ge, coaxing him step by step.

Jiu Ge didn’t know what to say. i Ji was right—it was impossible for him to betray his mother, which ant he was bound to clash with Ye You.

At the sa ti, Qin Sisi could never betray Ye You, making her and Jiu Ge destined to be enemies.

But he couldn’t kill her. He couldn’t stand by and watch her die in front of him. She was the first girl in his life who had touched his soul.

He had shared beds with countless won before, unable even to rember their nas. Now, he longed for a connection that had nothing to do with the physical.

i Ji saw Jiu Ge’s silence and assud he was persuaded. She raised her hand and pushed his shoulder, saying decisively, "Jiu’er, step aside. Qin Sisi must die."

Jiu Ge was about to respond when suddenly a frantic shout erupted from outside, "Clan Leader, Clan Leader is in trouble!"

i Ji’s expression shifted as she turned swiftly toward the door and reprimanded loudly, "Stop shouting nonsense! I’m standing right here. Who are you saying is in trouble?"

The guard who ca to deliver the news froze at her scolding, terrified into silence.

i Ji glanced at his panicked deanor and realized sothing indeed might have happened. Impatiently, she demanded, "What’s the matter? Speak quickly!"

The guard stamred, "R-reports to the Clan Leader—the Blood Eagles have gone berserk! They’re attacking the Chief Mansion!"

"What?" i Ji strode forward, grabbing the guard by the collar, and snapped harshly, "That’s impossible. The Blood Eagles are our allies!"

The guard trembled in fear, hastily replying, "I wouldn’t dare lie—the Clan Leader must go see for yourself!"

Seeing the guard’s sincerity, i Ji couldn’t afford to linger. Turning her attention away from Qin Sisi, she followed him and hurried out the door.
