“Miss Nangong, you seem to have a bad memory! Of course, it's been since shortly after you returned that your brother has been staying here. The wind here is biting cold, which is perfect for venting the anger of Lord Ximen and his family.”
Yukihime, who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke.
"So you were all in cahoots?"
"Hmph! Whether you're in cahoots or not is no longer important. What's important is that I can let your family experience the pain of losing a loved one."
"I can have the Seven Eternal Jade, but I need to make sure my second brother is alright."
Nangong Ziyan knew that saying more would be useless; they were determined to obtain the Seven Jade Stones of Eternity today. A faint bitterness welled up in Nangong Ziyan's heart—was it the helplessness of being abandoned by Beiming Haotian, or the reluctance to let go of the fading beauty of time? Unconsciously, it seemed she had lived in this world for many years.
Childhood is a dream, and love still lingers in her heart, leaving behind too many things she can't let go of. Looking down at her flat stomach, Nangong Ziyan smiled happily. Love is gone, but she still has her family and her child.
"Miss Nangong, please rest assured. Your second brother was too noisy, so I had to let him rest for a while."
After speaking, Ximen Qingtian injected a beam of blue light into Nangong Jingqi's body.
Nangong Jingqi slowly woke up.
"Second brother, second brother..."
Upon hearing Nangong Ziyan's voice, Nangong Jingqi instantly snapped out of her daze and looked up sharply at her younger sister, who was standing right in front of her.
"Silly Yan'er, what are you doing here? Go back quickly, it's so cold here, how can you stand it?"
Nangong Jingqi's voice was hoarse. After a night of wind and rain, his lips were chapped, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked haggard. His white clothes were dirty and messy.
Nangong Ziyan looked at her second brother with deep emotion. This was what family was all about. Even if he was in danger, he wouldn't want her to get hurt. She, Nangong Ziyan, was still the happiest person.
"Second brother, as long as you are well, Yan'er is not worried."
"Enough with the nonsense, Nangong Ziyan, hand over Henggu now, or your brother's life will be in grave danger."
Xue Ji roared loudly with a gloomy face, and slapped Nangong Jingqi hard in the abdomen.
Nangong Jingqi grimaced in pain.
"Stop! You vicious snow wolf demon beast! If you lay a finger on my second brother, I, Nangong Ziyan, will make sure you can never take human form again."
Nangong Ziyan gritted her teeth, thinking that such a vicious monster living in the world would only bring harm to people.
"What power do you possess that prevents me from taking human form?"
Xue Ji spoke confidently, but in reality, she was very worried. Nangong Ziyan was emanating a strange power. Last time, she had used all her strength to successfully use the Gu, but she would not give her that chance again.
Xue Ji instantly teleported to Nangong Jingqi's side, snatched the knife from Ximen Ruiyun's hand, and swiftly slashed a bloody gash across Nangong Jingqi's neck.
"No..." Nangong Ziyan's heart jumped into her throat.
"Nangong Ziyan, all we want are the Seven Eternal Jade."
"Okay! I'll give it to you."
With a wave of her hand, a string of seven-colored beads appeared in Nangong Ziyan's hand.
Upon seeing the Seven Jade Stones of Eternity, Xue Ji and Ximen Qingtian couldn't contain their excitement, while Ximen Ruiyun remained unfazed. He was simply doing this to vent Xue'er's anger.
"Yan'er, go away. I don't want you to save me. If you give the Seven Eternal Jades to them, the world will be in chaos."
Nangong Jingqi roared, but he knew it was useless. Yan'er would definitely give the Seven Jade of Eternity to Ximen Qingtian. If that happened, he, Nangong Jingqi, would become a sinner in the world.
Nangong Ziyan glanced at Nangong Jingqi and said, "Stay away from my second brother. I will give you the Seven Jade of Eternity right away. You know my cultivation level. If I were to play any tricks, you could still take the lives of my brother and me."
"Great! Dealing with people who know their own limitations is so easy."
Ximen Qingtian raised his hand, signaling Ximen Ruiyun and Xue Ji to step back.
