A dark shadow struck, startling the little boy away.
After recognizing the person, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this man would not harm Ji Jiuying.
"Jiu'er!" Gong Mingyue's tone was tense, and a hint of panic flashed in his cold and deep eyes.
Meanwhile, Little Phoenix in the sky successfully transcended her tribulation and flew onto Ji Jiuying's body.
Bang--
Xiao Huang'er was mercilessly repelled by the electric current emanating from Ji Jiuying.
"Mother! Waaaaah, Mother... It's all Huang'er's fault." Little Huang'er cried as she looked at Ji Jiuying, whose eyes were closed.
"We can't stay here any longer; we need to find a way to leave," the little boy said with a serious expression.
"But we can't get close to our mother, what should we do?"
Both beasts simultaneously looked toward the unfathomable man beside them.
Gong Mingyue's expression was cold and stern, his thin lips pressed into a line. He squatted down and carefully picked her up. Electric currents pierced him mercilessly like thousands of daggers, but despite the pain, his face showed no sign of suffering.
They vanished from their spot in an instant.
Cute little boy; ...
Little Phoenix; ······
Why didn't this man take them with him when he tore through space?
Sensing someone approaching, the little boy and the little phoenix exchanged a glance, concealed their presence, and swooped into the air, flying towards the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Several groups of people arrived at the open space, exchanged glances, and looked around. They saw some burn marks on the ground and a few fallen feathers.
A man picked up a feather from the ground and fell into deep thought.
They left the open space shortly afterward.
Several more groups of people arrived later, but they found nothing.
"Your Majesty." The man in black appeared in the Imperial Study.
"Have you found anything?" Emperor Jun Bufan asked in a cold voice.
"When I arrived, there was no trace of him; only a few feathers were scattered on the ground." The shadow guard handed the fiery red feathers to the emperor.
"I discovered the Third Prince was also there when I was leaving," the shadow guard said after a moment's thought.
Is the third brother also there?
Emperor Jun Bufan stared at the feather in his hand and pondered for a moment. "Tonight, you will stay at the Princess's residence and see if there are any unusual movements."
The feather in his hand faintly exuded an aura of nobility and holiness, constantly reminding the emperor that this was not a dream, and that the divine beast Vermilion Bird truly existed.
As for the third son, haha~ doesn't he know him well enough?
······
Wangyue Tower.
Gong Mingyue carefully placed Ji Jiuying in the Heavenly Pool.
He set up a protective barrier and stood guard for her.
Outside the barrier, the three beasts gazed at each other!
The fire qilin stared at the dragon and bird before it. It never expected to encounter them in this world, nor did it expect that the human inside was their master. "Mythical Beast Flood Dragon, Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, what are you doing here?"
"And who are you, daring to block my way!" Little Phoenix showed no sign of backing down.
The little boy beside him nudged Xiaohuang'er and whispered in its ear, "It is the auspicious beast, the Fire Qilin."
"I don't care what kind of beast you are, I'm going in to find my mother."
Little Phoenix looked up defiantly at the Qilin blocking her way; the two beasts, one big and one small, glared at each other.
In no time, Little Phoenix realized her neck was sore!
Yes, yes, it forgot it could control its size! It immediately grew to the size of a Qilin and stared at it.
Cute little boy; ...
Fire Qilin; ······
A true man doesn't fight with a woman, so the Fire Qilin took the first step back, saying, "You can't get in. No one can break my master's barrier!"
"What? Why didn't you say that just now?" Little Phoenix said angrily, her eyes bulging sorely.
"You didn't ask either!" the Fire Qilin said indifferently.
······
Waves of excruciating pain assaulted Ji Jiuying, bringing her back to consciousness. The pain in her dantian and meridians had reached its peak.
Just as she was about to faint, a warm current entered her mind, which greatly relieved her pain.
Her wet hair clung haphazardly to her forehead, her eyebrows were furrowed, and the bright red rouge from the corner of her mouth had dried. The long night had become an unbearable torment.
The lightning within her body continuously tempered her spiritual root and dantian. As Ji Jiuying continued to absorb the lightning, her cultivation level, which was at the second star of the Spirit General realm, began to loosen.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally broke through that barrier, but he did not stop there; his cultivation level continued to rise rapidly.
Spirit General, Three Stars!
Spirit General, four stars!
Five-star spirit general!
The two beasts outside the barrier were no exception, meditating and cultivating in place.
The metal-type spiritual root was directly filled, reaching its peak, and the other spiritual roots also benefited.
The third level of the Divine Control Technique, Heavenly Thunder Wrath, is also purer than before.
Overjoyed, Ji Jiuying slowly opened her eyes, a golden light flashing across them.
"Jiu'er." A faint glint appeared in Gong Mingyue's deep eyes, and his hoarse voice came through.
Ji Jiuying then realized that she was in the Spirit Pool, and Gong Mingyue was watching her from the side. Ji Jiuying was not surprised at all that she was here.
"Do you know how worried I was about you?"
Gong Mingyue was shrouded in an aura of ice. His handsome face was calm, his thin lips were tightly pursed, but there was still a hint of tension in his eyes.
This was the first time Ji Jiuying had heard him speak to her in such a tone, and she could clearly sense that he was not in a good mood.
A woman's intuition told her that it must be because of her attracting lightning that he was worried.
Ji Jiuying knelt by the spirit pool and whispered, "Gong Mingyue, I know I was wrong, so please don't be angry!"
