"Haotian, why did you let him leave! This young master is seriously injured." Nangong Ziyan suddenly appeared behind Beiming Haotian.
Baili Jun'ao smiled silently. You really can't gossip about this behind people's backs; if you do, you'll get caught.
Bei Ming Haotian remained silent, turned around and walked to the other side, sitting directly on the ground, ignoring Nangong Ziyan.
"Haotian! Don't worry, with me, the Heavenly Pharmacist, here, he'll get better soon." Nangong Ziyan ran to Beiming Haotian's side, who looked unhappy, and said in a coquettish tone. She shook Beiming Haotian's arm and winked at him, looking extremely cute.
Even though Bei Ming Haotian was unhappy, he was amused by her cute appearance.
"You! You've been walking all day and working all day. It's almost midnight. After you bring the porridge over, go and rest!" Bei Ming Haotian suddenly realized that even if he wanted to be angry with her, he couldn't.
"Okay! Now that you say you're tired, my whole body aches, and I really want to get a good night's sleep." Nangong Ziyan stretched lazily without any regard for her image.
"I'll go check if the porridge is ready."
Nangong Ziyan got up and ran over quickly. Beiming Haotian looked at her back with tenderness and smiled.
"He really is just a child, he has no thoughts at all."
"She doesn't seem to know you like her," Baili Jun'ao said jokingly. As a fellow man, he could see the tenderness in her eyes.
Bei Ming Haotian glanced at Baili Jun'ao leisurely, and after a long while, he spoke slowly: "What does it matter whether you know or not? She can only ever belong to me. No other man can even think about touching her."
Bei Ming Haotian made a wicked yet domineering announcement.
"This Lord?" Baili Jun'ao looked deeply at Beiming Haotian. The only person who could call himself "This Lord" on the Netherworld Continent was the Demon Lord Beiming Haotian. If he was the Demon Lord, then Baili Yuechan should have known long ago. It seemed that he had taken another step forward. However, he could also test him. He looked deeply at Beiming Haotian.
"It is said that a very strange thing happened between the Netherworld Continent and the South Sea Continent. That sea of flowers was changed because of the birth of a girl, turning the once barren border into a beautiful sight. A celestial master prophesied that the girl's blood could restrain all evil forces in the world. And most importantly, using the girl as a medicinal ingredient could grant people eternal life, an immortal body, and longevity."
Baili Jun Ao spoke calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes never missed the emotions in Bei Ming Haotian's eyes. This Netherworld Continent had also risen sixteen years ago, and he believed there must be a connection between the two. He was afraid that Baili Yuechan had found the answer before him.
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Haotian stared at Baili Jun'ao with a gloomy expression, his body instantly stiffening, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent. The mere mention of using it as a medicinal ingredient made Bei Ming Haotian tremble with rage. He had vaguely known about these rumors, but he never expected them to become so serious.
"Young Master, who told you that using that girl as a medicinal ingredient can grant immortality and a body that never dies? Who said that? Who has such an evil idea, actually wanting to use a living person as a medicinal ingredient?" Nangong Ziyan held two bowls of porridge, her hands trembling slightly, an unnatural smile on her face. Which bastard spread such a prophecy? Wasn't this pushing her, Nangong Ziyan, to her death? If she knew who it was, she would poison him to death. But why did she have a bad feeling upon hearing this news?
"Yan'er..." Bei Ming Haotian carefully walked towards her, took the plate from her hand. How could she have overheard him again? She must be very scared. Who on earth spread such rumors?
“Young lady, I’ve only heard about this before. There’s a legend about this between the Qihe Dynasty and the four continents! People didn’t dare to spread it around before, but now, I hear that the girl has turned sixteen. The pure spirit blood in her body is the perfect time to refine the immortality potion. People from the continents are ostensibly here to participate in the Wind and Cloud Tournament, but they’re actually here to find that girl…”
"Stop talking! Young Master, finish your porridge and get some rest!" Nangong Ziyan shouted excitedly, turning around abruptly. Her still-childish face showed fear and boundless anger.
Oh no, Dongfang Yifei! If we go to the South China Sea Glazed Palace, and if Father listens to his elder brother's advice and rejects Dongfang Shengying's marriage proposal, with Dongfang Yifei's big mouth and his mother's petty nature, they will definitely be furious and reveal her identity. No wonder Venerable Yunxiao told her father not to let her leave the South China Sea Glazed Palace for sixteen years; it turns out he had these concerns.
"The young lady seems to care a lot about this matter?" Baili Jun'ao suddenly thought of the situation when she saved him. Her cultivation level was so low that he could have killed her easily, but when those demonic beasts approached her, they turned around and ran away as if they had seen a ghost. Now that he thought about it, her identity had piqued his interest.
"Shut up! If you dare say another word, believe me, I'll kill you right now!" Bei Ming Haotian roared furiously, throwing the porridge hard in front of Baili Jun'ao, not caring whether he ate it or not.
"Yan'er, let me take you to rest!" Bei Ming Haotian looked at her with heartache as she was frightened. This was the reason why her master did not allow her to leave the South Sea Glazed Palace. However, sixteen years later, it would be the time for Yan'er's fate to turn, and she would have to face what would happen to her.
"Oh! Okay! Okay!" Nangong Ziyan felt cold sweat all over her body, and she was extremely worried. She was not worried about her own life, but she was worried that her birth would bring a catastrophic disaster to the South China Sea Glazed Palace. Unconsciously, the more Nangong Ziyan thought about it, the more frightened she became. It didn't matter if she died, but her parents and brothers who loved her would definitely be hurt in order to protect her.
"Yan'er... are you alright?" Seeing Nangong Ziyan trembling and her body, Beiming Haotian really wanted to turn around and kill Baili Jun'ao.
"I... I'm fine! I'm just a little tired," Nangong Ziyan replied in a trembling voice.
Baili Junao smiled as he watched their retreating figures. Perhaps his gains would be even greater than Baili Yuechan's. Baili Yuechan? Baili Junao narrowed his eyes. This woman was ambitious and had a heart that could reach the heavens. She wanted to control the entire Qihe Dynasty. She was truly delusional. But it was just as well. He had missed out on her, which gave him a chance to catch his breath.
