"Get back now!"

His deep, magnetic voice was now filled with anger. Dongjun raised his hand and retrieved all the ice crystals. He flashed in front of Qirong and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Divine Lord."

"You still know I am a god, so why don't you kill me too?"

Dongjun remained expressionless, as if nothing could evoke any emotion in him. "I dare not."

Qi Rong snorted coldly and walked straight into the hall.

...

Feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if I were floating on a cloud.

When Qinghe woke up, she opened her eyes without much effort. She raised her hand and touched her abdomen, where there was no pain.

I got up and leaned against the headboard, inhaling the faint scent of ink in the room, a light and pleasant aroma that brought me peace of mind.

The door opened, and Qinghe looked up to see a pair of all-too-familiar eyes.

When the man saw that she had woken up, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards her with a porcelain bottle in his hand.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?"

The familiar voice made Qinghe somewhat lost in thought, and she mumbled a random "hmm".

Qi Rong sat by the bed and took out a pill from the porcelain bottle, handing it to her. "This is the last one. Only after you finish this pill will your injury be truly healed."

Qinghe stared straight at him without making a move.

Qi Rong smiled and personally fed the pill to her.

The elixir is of superior quality; it melts in the mouth, soothing the senses and without any bitterness.

Her body seemed to have changed, becoming lighter and more comfortable. However, Qinghe had no time to pay attention to the changes in her body. She only looked at Qirong, looking at her carefully and not missing any detail.

Qi Rong looked at Qing He with a smile in her eyes and doting eyes, "What, you don't recognize me after a few days?"

When did you wake up?

Qi Rong said softly, "I just woke up. I could have woken up earlier, but when I was about to wake up, my head was still foggy and I couldn't open my eyelids. It felt like I had been given alcohol."

Qinghe seemed to have thought of something and decided to change the subject.

"You're lying to me."

Qi Rong was taken aback. "What makes you say that?"

Qinghe raised his hand and pulled up his ear. "I saw it all. In the Divine Tree Space, your ears were clearly those of an animal."

Qi Rong laughed awkwardly, freeing her ear from her hand and taking the opportunity to tighten her grip on her hand. "You knew all along? I didn't mean to hide it from you; I just didn't tell you because it was fun back then."

Qinghe snorted, "You're funny. Poor me, you've kept me in the dark." She held out a hand, "I need you to compensate me for emotional distress."

Qi Rong replied without hesitation, "Fine, I'll give you whatever you want, including my life."

A seemingly casual remark caused Qinghe a pang of pain in her heart, and she abruptly withdrew her hand, saying sternly, "You are not allowed to say that again."

Knowing he had spoken out of turn, Qi Rong obediently nodded in agreement.

"Also, what's the deal with Su Feng? Don't tell me you have a twin fox brother."

Qi Rong: "This is a long story, I'll tell you about it later."

Why not now?

Qi Rong looked at her and said in a very gentle tone, "Not now, we need to set off for Fusheng Pavilion."

Qinghe suddenly remembered Li Jiang's message, realizing her carelessness in forgetting something important. She looked at Qi Rong and asked, "How did you know?"

Qi Rong: "Zhu Xun told me."

Qinghe suddenly recalled the scene of Zhu Xun taking the fatal blow for him and asked urgently, "How is he?"

Qi Rong: "He is healing himself and will wake up tonight."

Qinghe looked worried. "I've dragged him into this." After a moment of silence, she said, "I need to go see him."

Qi Rong: "Alright, come with me."

The two walked side by side, with Qi Rong leading the way, and soon arrived at a towering building.

Looking at the four elegant and grand characters "万文千卷" (Wan Wen Qian Juan), Qinghe cast a suspicious glance at Qirong. "Is he healing here?"

Qi Rong nodded.

Putting aside the fact that this is a place for storing books, even if Shen Xun was so badly injured that he was barely clinging to life, he wouldn't be so delusional as to come here to heal. Besides, how can books be used to heal injuries? With written techniques?

The words came true.

There were soldiers guarding the entrance. Qi Rong waved them away and walked into the high-rise building side by side with Qing He.

Upon entering, Qinghe immediately felt the profound and weighty atmosphere unique to books and knowledge. The bookshelves were filled with hundreds of books, as vast as the ocean. Every single book she looked at was one she had never seen or heard of before, which was quite awe-inspiring.

As a student whose grades were not even in the top two thousand in the whole school, she disliked this feeling very much.

Qi Rong led her to the inner chamber, which was smaller than the outer space, but had a softer and warmer atmosphere. Qinghe's eyes widened as soon as she looked inside.

Golden light enveloped Shen Xun, who sat cross-legged on the ground. Various written symbols floated in the air, drifting out from each of the books and transforming into golden runes that continuously flowed into Shen Xun's body.

The words had no end, healing Shen Xun's pain like a good medicine. With each word, Shen Xun's complexion improved.

Through the golden light, Qinghe could clearly see that golden runes were flowing on all of Shenxun's exposed skin, like blood vessels, and what flowed inside were not blood, but countless characters.

Could it be that Shen Xun was not human?

Once this idea took hold, it became unstoppable, and Qinghe felt more and more that her guess was correct.

Shen Xun shielded her from most of the attacks, and the healing process was relatively long. After exchanging a glance with Qi Rong, the two left the inner chamber without disturbing Shen Xun's healing.

As they walked, he asked Qi Rong his question, "Who exactly is he? Or rather, what species is he?"

It's a bit impolite to say that, but she really couldn't find any other adjectives.

Qi Rong: "Have you heard of the Divine Records?"

Qinghe nodded. She naturally knew about the Divine Record; the female protagonist, Ji Lingyin, had infiltrated the Qingyun Sect precisely because of it.

"The Divine Record is a celestial book, with pure and powerful spiritual energy. Over the long years, it has developed its own protective mechanism. Even magical artifacts possess a spirit, let alone this extraordinary book."

Qing and Mingwu: "You mean, the Divine Record has a spirit, and this spirit is..."

Qi Rong looked at her, and the answer was self-evident.

Qinghe recalled that she first met Zhu Xun at the Heavenly Book Pavilion of the Qingyun Sect. At that time, she met Ji Lingyin there. When they fought, Ji Lingyin did not find the Divine Record. Now she thought that it was not that the Divine Record was missing, but that the Divine Record had become a spirit.

Even if Ji Lingyin had found the Divine Record at that time, given Zhu Xun's abilities, Ji Lingyin would not have been able to take him away, and might even have been killed instead. It was only because of her appearance that Ji Lingyin escaped a calamity.

In that sense, she unintentionally saved the female lead's life. Although it wasn't a bad thing, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

"What are you thinking about?"

Qinghe concealed the emotions in his eyes and said, "Isn't it said that the Divine Record has the function of perceiving the past and predicting the future? Judging from Zhu Xun's appearance, he really doesn't seem to possess such powerful abilities."

Qi Rong laughed and said, "They just saved you, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"

Qinghe raised the corners of her mouth and said, "What do you know? This is called the best frenemy."

Qi Rong ignored her strange words and answered her question, "Perceiving the past and foreseeing the future is going against the will of Heaven and belongs to the secrets of Heaven. Naturally, it will not be revealed to anyone. As for his power, I am not too sure. He may have been injured before. Otherwise, with the power of the Divine Record, it would be difficult for anyone to seriously injure him."

Qinghe Mingliao.
