With a leap, Ji Jiuying arrived at the pavilion. The white curtain, whether blown by the wind or by someone, opened automatically, and Ji Jiuying stepped inside.

"sit down."

Gong Mingyue's deep voice came through. Ji Jiuying looked at his calm expression and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Let's see how long you can keep up this act.

After Ji Jiuying sat down, a cup of hot tea floated in front of her. She took the tea, sipped it lightly, and then put it down.

"Ah Yue, give me your hand."

Gong Mingyue paused for a moment while holding the teacup, but still extended his hand. Ji Jiuying gently placed her hand on his pulse, closed her eyes, and carefully examined his body with her soul power.

Gong Mingyue's eyes fell on Ji Jiuying's serious face. For some reason, he felt that this feeling was very good. He could see her every day. Since she appeared, when those fragmented images appeared in his mind, he no longer felt that piercing pain.

Ji Jiuying opened her eyes and saw Gong Mingyue's deep eyes staring ahead. "A-Yue, why did you take such a huge risk to resist the divine punishment? Do you know what the backlash would be like if you couldn't withstand it..."

Ji Jiuying didn't say the rest of her words. When Gong Mingyue met her worried eyes, he felt a pang of anxiety, as if he didn't want to see her looking like this, worried about him.

"I will not do anything I am not sure of."

Gong Mingyue maintained his indifferent attitude, but a subtle ripple appeared in his eyes. Ji Jiuying didn't pay much attention to it; she knew that was just his personality.

"Don't do something so stupid again next time."

"If I had to do it all over again, I would still do it the same way. I'm just following my heart."

"I am very sorry about what happened between you and me."

Ji Jiuying smiled. Although Gong Mingyue was still cold and aloof during the day, at least he could sit down and have a proper chat about these matters.

“Ah Yue, don’t blame yourself. To me, the best thing is that you are safe and sound. It doesn’t matter if you forget me.”

Her smile reached his eyes, and a flutter of emotion stirred within him. He felt a pang of tenderness and wanted to hug her, but the thought of last night gradually suppressed that impulse.

However, her scent filled his nostrils. Ji Jiuying's sudden approach made Gong Mingyue's body tense up, and his indifferent face was filled with astonishment. Suddenly, Ji Jiuying opened her arms and wrapped them around his firm waist, burying her face in his broad and powerful chest, and whispering softly.

"But Yue... I miss you so much."

Gong Mingyue's breath hitched, a vague emotion flashing across his eyes. His hands were at a loss, unsure of what to do. In a direction he couldn't see, Ji Jiuying's eyes flashed with cunning, and she rubbed her face against his chest. Gong Mingyue's body stiffened.

A voice kept shouting in his ears, and Gong Mingyue's eyes darkened. He didn't know what to do, so he tightly wrapped his arms around Ji Jiuying's slender shoulders and subconsciously buried his head in Ji Jiuying's neck, like a cat that had stolen fish, greedily absorbing her scent.

The scent emanating from her was like poison, reassuring him and making him want more. Fragments of images flashed through Gong Mingyue's mind, seemingly his daily life with her.

Neither of the two, embracing each other, uttered a word.

a long time.

"Is it comfortable to hold me?"

"Hmm!" Gong Mingyue responded in a low voice as if possessed. He was slightly taken aback after realizing what was happening, but a soft laugh came from his arms.

Gong Mingyue immediately realized that she was deliberately messing with him, and a look of doting affection flashed in his eyes that even he hadn't noticed.

"Ah Yue, take me somewhere where we won't be disturbed."

Upon hearing this, Gong Mingyue's heart began to pound rapidly. She...

"Ah Yue? Didn't you hear me?"

Gong Mingyue responded in a low voice, then carried her and flashed to a secluded paradise.

"This is Mount Jiuhua of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. You are the first person to come here."

Ji Jiuying released Gong Mingyue and looked at the distant and near mountains that looked like a fairyland, layer upon layer, in a well-ordered manner. The drifting mist connected the sky and the earth, sometimes thin as a veil, sometimes thick as haze. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, the scene was dreamlike and illusory, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland, and their hearts were intoxicated.

"It's so beautiful, this is the place!"

Ji Jiuying couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and Gong Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly: "If Jiu'er likes it, she can come here often."

Ji Jiuying suddenly turned around and looked at Gong Mingyue with surprise in her eyes. For a moment, she thought he had regained his memory.

"What's wrong? Didn't I used to call you that?"

"No..." Realizing something, she nodded again, "Yes, that's how you call me."

Thinking of something, Ji Jiuying added, "A-Yue, are you sure no one will bother us here?"

Gong Mingyue didn't know what she was going to do, but he nodded nonetheless.

"That's good."

Hearing her words, Gong Ming became even more nervous. Although he liked her closeness, he didn't want things to progress to that point so quickly...

However, a brocade box appeared out of thin air in Ji Jiuying's hand. She gathered spiritual power and took out the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Pill from the box. The rich fragrance of the divine-grade pill instantly filled the entire Jiuhua Mountain. A look of surprise flashed in Gong Mingyue's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out he had misunderstood.

Just then, with a wave of his hand, the entire Jiuhua Mountain was surrounded by a barrier.

Although surrounded by a barrier, a trace of the divine pill's aura still leaked out.

The divine pill appeared, the stars changed, and the experts of the Heavenly Domain Continent opened their eyes in a flash, sensing the aura of a divine-grade pill.

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Si Yu's eyes flickered slightly as she looked towards the direction of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
