"My lord, we did not target Ji Jiuying, we did not lay a hand on her, please spare us!" The people stepped forward and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with tears streaming down their faces, their actions as realistic as could be.

However, Gong Mingyue was already blinded by rage and didn't care about anything else.

Jin Chenzi narrowed his eyes slightly. Such a heavy murderous aura. Just who is this man? Watching more and more people die, he used his staff to block the killing techniques of those people, but he was soon exhausted. He could block ten people but not a hundred. It was all in vain. He tried to use Buddhist immortal techniques to deal with Gong Mingyue and stop the battle, but he did not expect that the spiritual technique would perish in the blood mist before it even got close to him. He was also hit by the backlash and was sent flying to the ground, spitting out blood.

Wen Longxiu looked at Jin Chenzi, who had landed beside her, and frowned slightly. She wanted to go forward, but when she thought of how he had treated Qingling just now, she held back. After hesitating for a while, she put down a bottle of pills and said, "Master Kongchen, please take this!"

Jin Chenzi glanced at the pill in his hand, then looked up at Wen Longxiu. There was no malice in her eyes. He thanked her and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Ji Jiuying frowned slightly, noticing that something was wrong with him; he seemed to be showing signs of becoming possessed by a demon.

"Gong Mingyue?"

Ji Jiuying tried to call out, but Gong Mingyue stared at her expressionlessly. At this moment, she felt that he was a complete stranger, as if he had never known her before. Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold. She understood that it must be because of the poison in his body. The poison was like a shackle. Once it was broken, he would be like a ferocious beast that could kill without leaving a trace, without his own consciousness and unable to control his behavior.

If this continues, all her friends will suffer.

"Gong Mingyue!" Ji Jiuying broke free from his embrace, staring into his bloodshot, murderous eyes, hoping he would come to his senses. "A-Yue, wake up!"

However!

Seeing the blood on her forehead, the blood mist around him grew thicker and thicker, his eyes filled with a terrifying aura, and the temperature in the air instantly dropped to freezing point.

Everyone slowly looked up at Gong Mingyue, who was filled with murderous intent, their souls nearly leaving their bodies in fear. Just what kind of being was this? Feng Che's eyes narrowed slightly. How could Xiao Jiu know such a person? Judging from their words and actions, their relationship seemed quite unusual. Thinking of his niece being with such a dangerous person, he couldn't help but feel worried, but at the same time, he was also glad that such a person was by her side. If the Feng family wanted to capture her, they would have to think twice. Thinking of this, his gaze unconsciously fell on Feng Luo, who was staring at the scene in front of him with a bewildered expression.

Feng Luo was not only confused, but also annoyed. This unexpected troublemaker had completely disrupted his plans. Unfortunately, this troublemaker was a formidable figure. Faced with this terrifying man, he didn't dare to step forward at all—no, he was incapable of taking a single step forward.

A sorrowful emotion flashed across Ye Qingchen's eyes. It was him, the Imperial Advisor!

Wen Chuyu was similar. Looking at the man protecting her in his arms, he smiled self-deprecatingly. Only a man like that was worthy of her!

Jun Lintian had seen Gong Mingyue before, so he naturally recognized the man on the field, but something seemed off about him.

As Jun Linyu watched Ji Jiuying nestled in the man's arms, his anger surged uncontrollably, as if he had seen his wife cuckold him. His eyes burned with fury; if looks could kill, Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue would probably have been reduced to mincemeat long ago.

Murong Yun looked at the two people in fiery red, and then at Feng Luo standing to the side, not daring to breathe. He was filled with resentment, as if the meat that was about to be eaten had been snatched away by someone else.

Even someone as proud as Murong Jinxiu was completely captivated the moment she saw Gong Mingyue. In her sixteen years of life, this was the first time she had ever seen such an incomparably beautiful man, so perfect that he seemed like a fairy from a painting.

At that moment, she seemed to forget to breathe, forget everything around her, her eyes only seeing that red figure. She felt that this was the consort she wanted, and only such a man was worthy of her, Murong Jinxiu. As for her... Murong Jinxiu's gaze unconsciously fell on Murong Yun.

Seeing that he didn't respond to her calls, Ji Jiuying stepped forward and hugged Gong Mingyue's waist. In an instant, Gong Mingyue's body froze for a moment. The violent killing intent around him lessened considerably, and the scarlet in his eyes slowly faded. His large hand, which had been releasing killing techniques, unconsciously lowered and gently rested on her waist.

Ji Jiuying's eyes lit up with joy; she knew it would work!

Before long, the East Sea, which had been like hell, returned to its original calm. Gong Mingyue's eyes turned dark and deep again. He stared at the person in his arms, gently stroking the wound on her forehead. The wound was visibly healing! Then he placed his hand on her back and slowly treated her wounds.

"Jiu'er, does it hurt?"

Gong Mingyue's hoarse voice came through.

Ji Jiuying gently shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"

The moment she saw him, she felt no pain, as if her nerves had been numbed.

Feng Che frowned slightly as he watched the man holding Ji Jiuying, but for the sake of Xiao Jiuying's reputation, he still chose to take a few steps forward. Gong Mingyue glanced at him, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.

"Who are you? Let go of Xiao Jiu!"

"Who am I?"

"I am her man!"

His cool yet magnetic voice resounded throughout the entire East China Sea, arrogant, domineering, and unrestrained!

Gong Mingyue’s words were like a thunderbolt striking the sea, creating countless waves that left people unable to calm down for a long time!

So graceful! Who would dare bully Miss now!

Yingyue's expression was somewhat proud and smug! His master was just that domineering!

Feng Che froze in place. Xiao Jiu's man? Oh no! This cabbage hasn't even grown up yet and it's already been taken!

“Ah Yue, he’s my second uncle!” Ji Jiuying looked at Gong Mingyue with amusement, but he remained as indifferent to others as ever.

Upon hearing this, Gong Mingyue's murderous intent intensified. He stared coldly at Feng Che, "Second Uncle? A member of the Feng family?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Che's eyes flashed with surprise, as did Feng Luo, who was not far away. Did he know about the Feng family? Could he also be from the upper plane? The two of them simultaneously sized up Gong Mingyue. There was no way they didn't know such a handsome and powerful man!

“Yes, but he’s different!” Ji Jiuying explained.

Ye Yan flashed to Ji Jiuying's side. Looking at the man in front of him, he felt a sense of unease about him. Seeing him holding Ji Jiuying, he felt a surge of displeasure. "Who is he?"

“He is Gong Mingyue, the one I love!” Ji Jiuying said with a smile.

"The one you love?" Upon hearing this, Ye Yan frowned slightly, as if trying to figure out what "the one you love" meant.
