Ji Jiuying was shocked for a moment. What kind of spiritual technique was this?

Gong Mingyue saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "Little Jiu'er wants to learn?"

Ji Jiuying nodded sharply!

"Wait until your cultivation reaches the Spirit Venerable level first~"

The Spirit Lord? She will definitely arrive.

Just as Ji Jiuying was stunned, the two of them were already standing on the top floor of Yunshui Pavilion.

From here, you can have a panoramic view of Kyoto. It's packed with people, all dressed in their finest new clothes, singing and dancing—it's incredibly lively.

When the fireworks burst into bloom, their colorful light illuminated the entire sky above the Cangyue Kingdom.

"Jiu'er, is it pretty?" Gong Mingyue asked, hugging Ji Jiuying from behind.

"Mmm~ It looks great!"

Following Ji Jiuying's gaze, the lantern festival was just ahead. In the distance, thousands of bright lanterns floated on the Milky Way, amidst the bright moon and stars.

"Does Jiu'er also want to release a Kongming lantern?"

"think!"

Gong Mingyue was about to go downstairs to buy it when Ji Jiuying pulled him back, "A-Yue, wait a minute!"

After Ji Jiuying finished speaking, she remembered that there seemed to be some Kongming lanterns in her villa. She quickly used her mind to find them and two beautiful Kongming lanterns appeared in her hands.

In her past life, she would buy Kongming lanterns to make wishes every year during the Lunar New Year.

"Little Jiu'er, what is this?" Gong Mingyue asked, pointing to the object in Ji Jiuying's hand.

"These are Kongming lanterns!"

Gong Mingyue picked up a lantern and looked it over. The patterns on it were so lifelike and vivid. "Little Jiu'er, are these Kongming lanterns from your original world?"

"You guessed right, but there's no reward!" As she spoke, Ji Jiuying wrote down her wish and lit the Kongming lantern in her hand.

"Ah Yue, is it pretty?" Ji Jiuying asked with a smile.

Her gentle smile, illuminated by the lamplight, was like a lotus emerging from the water—delicate and beautiful, innocent yet alluring.

"So...beautiful!"

At this moment, Gong Mingyue finally understood what it meant to "suddenly turn around, and there they are, in the dim light!"

However, the sharp-eyed Gong Mingyue noticed the words on the Kongming lantern.

May A-Yue be safe and joyful, free from all worries, ward off all evil, and have everything go smoothly!

"Ah Yue, it's your turn." Ji Jiuying slowly released the Kongming lantern.

Gong Mingyue also quickly wrote down two lines of strong and powerful characters.

'How can one find a way to have it all, to be true to both the Buddha and the beloved?'

The Kongming lanterns slowly rose, carrying each other's wishes into the distance...

Of course, we have to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls) on the Lantern Festival, as they symbolize family reunion and good health.

Ji Jiuying took out the pot from her spatial storage and cooked two bowls of steaming hot sesame glutinous rice balls.

"Ah Yue looks like she's eating tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."

"Little Jiu'er, these glutinous rice balls are so small and exquisite," Gong Mingyue said, looking at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl.

"Try it! It's so sweet."

Gong Mingyue never liked sweets, but seeing the expectant look on her face, he picked up a spoon and ate elegantly.

"How is it? How is it?" Ji Jiuying asked anxiously.

"Mmm~ It's delicious, sweet and soft." Gong Mingyue nodded, and this was his honest opinion.

Seeing this, Ji Jiuying happily started eating as well. In her previous life, her favorite type of glutinous rice ball was this sesame glutinous rice ball.

······

"By the way, Yue, is there any news from Si Yu?" As time goes by day by day, there is still no news from Si Yu who is searching for the Xuanbing Flower, so it is inevitable to feel a little worried.

"Little Jiu'er, don't worry, with you here, how could I dare to die so easily!" Gong Mingyue's dark eyes gazed into the distance, his emotions unreadable.

"If you dare to die, I dare to go to the underworld and drag you back!"

"Hehehe~ Little Jiu'er is so reluctant to part with me?" Gong Mingyue gently lifted her chin with his hand, meeting her gaze!

Warm breath sprayed onto her face.

Gong Mingyue's slightly warm lips landed on Ji Jiuying's lips, just like the sesame dumplings she had just eaten, the sweetness of soft and fragrant filling her mouth.

Ji Jiuying seemed to hear her own heartbeat, pounding strongly and vividly in this bustling capital city. Unconsciously, her slender hands had already gently embraced Gong Mingyue.

After a while.

Gong Mingyue and Ji Jiuying's eyes suddenly turned cold. Something had happened at the Princess's mansion!

"Jiu'er, don't go. That person is probably here for that dragon. If you go, it will expose your identity as Feng Lan's daughter," Gong Mingyue said coldly.

"No, that person won't give up until they find me, and besides, you can't use too much spiritual energy now, your poison..."

Haitang and the others are still at the manor. With their strength, they are nothing but ants to people from higher realms. A single move from them would severely injure them.

Ji Jiuying couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Little Jiu'er, I allow you to go, but you must drink some of my blood. My blood can help you conceal your bloodline aura for a day," Gong Mingyue said helplessly, seeing her stubborn appearance.

At this moment, the defensive array set up by Ji Jiuying at the Princess's mansion had been breached.

Haitang and some of the shadow guards collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the powerful pressure. There were also some injured or dead men in black on the ground.

The old man in mid-air suddenly narrowed his eyes and condensed a black power in his right hand, striking the flying dragon hard in the chest.

"Watch out!" Yingyue cried out in alarm.

"Pfft~" The flying dragon was instantly knocked several meters away, crashing heavily against the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

When Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue arrived, they saw this scene, and Ji Jiuying's face turned pale instantly.

"master!"

The old man sensed something and turned around to see a mysterious young man wearing a black mask and a stunningly beautiful girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old appear in the mansion.

The old man looked her over for a while, and finally his gaze settled on the stunningly beautiful young woman.

He didn't know why, but just a moment ago he felt that the girl resembled someone, but when he thought about it, the girl's face became blurry and indistinct.

"So you're the princess, little girl? And the master of that phantom dragon?" The old man's eyes gleamed, and his sinister voice rang out.

Hearing this, Ji Jiuying frowned unhappily.

Upon seeing this, the air around Gong Mingyue dropped slightly, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the old man.

The old man's face immediately turned ugly, and he then turned his gaze back to Gong Mingyue.

Who is this young man? How could he be stronger than him? Could he also be...?

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

"The one who killed you!" Gong Mingyue's voice was as cold as ice.

"Hmph~ Arrogant!" The old man's eyes turned cold, and he said disdainfully.

After the old man finished speaking, he attacked Gong Mingyue at an eerie speed.

With a bloodthirsty smirk on his lips, Gong Mingyue directly met the old man's spiritual technique.

With a loud bang, the old man was forced back a few steps by Gong Mingyue's powerful force, staring at Gong Mingyue with a gloomy expression.

Rumble! Some houses collapsed due to the aftershocks, and people around Huanan Street were so frightened that they rushed out of their houses!
