Hua Shi'an was pale and dazed due to excessive blood loss. He was too arrogant at the beginning and thought the outcome was a foregone conclusion, but she turned the tide and won!
She was moving so fast that if she had wanted to kill him earlier, he would already be a corpse!
"Lord Hua actually lost?"
"I thought we had it in the bag! But then there was a twist!"
"But what was that red lotus that appeared at the end? How eerie!"
"I don't know, all I know is that my goddess won!"
"······"
Ji Jiuying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her white dress was covered in blood, making it impossible to tell whose it was. Hua Shi'an looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes seemingly fixed on the blood lotus between her brows. He fell into deep thought. No wonder he had been injured when he touched her finger earlier.
"Yes, I lost. This Blazing Sun Bow is yours!" Hua Shi'an's smile remained, but a calculating glint flashed quickly in his eyes where no one could see.
If it were anyone else, given Hua Shi'an's personality, even if he lost, he wouldn't hand over the Blazing Sun Bow so easily, but she was different.
Ji Jiuying took the Blazing Sun Bow, but instead of immediately forming a contract with it, she put it into her spatial storage. "Thank you!"
After saying that, she flew back to Feng Che's side.
"Miss, you really scared me to death just now!" Qingling hugged Ji Jiuying tightly and said.
"Aren't you scared at all? Fortune favors the bold, you know. Look at me, I'm still perfectly fine," Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Jun Lintian's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying in the crowd. He gave her a meaningful look for a few moments before turning and leaving.
Why didn't you say hello to her?
Uncle Ji asked in confusion, "You previously insisted on going to Star Academy with Princess Anping, so why do you have a different idea now?"
"No!"
Seeing this, Uncle Ji didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Inside the room, Ji Jiuying flashed into the spatial dimension and spat out a mouthful of blood! A clear light flickered in her eyes.
"Mother! How are you?" Little Phoenix came to Ji Jiuying's side and kept gently patting Ji Jiuying's back with its wings.
"Mother is alright! Little Phoenix, don't worry."
She was able to defeat Hua Shi'an this time because she caught him off guard. If she wants to beat him a second time, it will probably be very difficult, since the difference in strength is still quite large.
The biggest reason is the blood lotus between her brows. The moment she was surrounded by the blood lotus, it was either the lotus that died or she died.
She could choose to hide in the space, but then the Blood Lotus would entangle her second uncle and the others. She had no choice but to try to devour it. The Blood Lotus was full of malevolent energy. After devouring it, not only would it enhance her own cultivation, but it would also be able to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy in battle, just like when she fought Hua Shi'an.
However, not everyone can devour such evil creatures; a slight mistake and they will be reduced to ashes.
"Truly worthy of being an innate spiritual body, you even dared to devour the Blood Lotus," said Evil Fire.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Ji Jiuying noticed the lotus flower between her brows was particularly striking. She couldn't help but furrow her brow. "Is this thing really here? Can't we put it somewhere else?"
"cannot!"
Ji Jiuying frowned. Fine, she didn't really like having such a conspicuous lotus flower between her eyebrows.
She picked up the Blazing Sun Bow from the side and looked it over. The reason she didn't immediately sign the contract was because she didn't trust Hua Shi'an.
"Little Evil Fire, come and see if there's anything wrong with this Blazing Sun Bow?"
Although Xie Huo hated that this woman insisted on adding "Xiao" before its name, its body moved faster than its brain, and it quickly arrived in front of the Blazing Sun Bow.
"I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it!" Evil Fire said after observing it carefully. "You'd better not form a contract with it yet."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying decided to put it aside for the time being.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Jiuying, who was cultivating, frowned slightly. A flash of cold light appeared, and Ji Jiuying suddenly opened her eyes. A stunningly handsome man in red appeared before her.
"who!"
Ji Jiuying said coldly, seemingly pondering why a man had appeared in her space!
"My master! My name is Ye Yan!"
A scorching heat emanated from her, and Ji Jiuying felt a warm sensation. Looking at the man before her, she asked, "You are... Nine Heavens Profound Fire?"
"yes!"
Ye Yan answered with a smile.
"Did it take human form because it devoured the Netherworld Ghost Fire?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"yes!"
"She's not bad looking!" Ji Jiuying looked her up and down.
"The Divine Fire in its transformed form will naturally not be ugly!"
"Hehe, alright then, from now on we'll be partners fighting side by side!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Partners? Aren't they master and servant? Ye Yan looked at Ji Jiuying in confusion.
"Is there anything else?" Ji Jiuying asked, looking at his blank expression.
"N-no, my buddy!"
Suddenly, Ye Yan staggered, and Ji Jiuying quickly grabbed him, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's Netherworld Ghost Fire. I haven't completely devoured it yet. I'm going to go into slumber now. You can summon both the Nine Heavens Profound Fire and the Netherworld Ghost Fire. Only after I completely devour the Netherworld Ghost Fire can I maintain my human form for longer."
"Okay! Go!"
As soon as Ji Jiuying finished speaking, Ye Yan appeared in her mental sea of consciousness.
She came out of the space just as Feng Che came looking for her.
Feng Che saw Ji Jiuying and quickly went over to her, "Xiao Jiu, are you alright?"
Although she was unharmed on the way back, he still couldn't help but check on her. The worry in his eyes seemed genuine. Ji Jiuying smiled slightly, "Second Uncle, I'm really fine, look!"
Ji Jiuying even made a special trip around in front of him before Feng Che finally felt relieved.
"By the way, Second Uncle, I'll leave Xue Ling'er's staff to you to reforge for me." Ji Jiuying took out the staff. There was no other way; she couldn't forge a magic weapon of this rank yet.
“No problem.” Feng Che had the same idea. He took the staff and said, “Little Jiu, bring out that Blazing Sun Bow too. Your second uncle will check it for you. I have a feeling that Hua Shi’an has ill intentions!”
Listening to what Gu Qingfeng said on the way back, he became even more convinced that Hua Shi'an still harbored designs on Xiao Jiu.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying took out the Blazing Sun Bow, and after thinking for a moment, she also took out the mysterious box given to her by the Empress.
"What is this?" Feng Che picked up the box and examined it, his brow furrowing slightly. The box exuded a heavy aura of death. "Xiao Jiu, where did this box come from?"
Little Phoenix flew around the room, while the little boy quietly wrapped his arms around Ji Jiuying's wrist. Without careful observation, one would not even notice that it was a dragon on her wrist. Xie Huo, meanwhile, glanced expressionlessly at Feng Che from within Ji Jiuying's arms.
"This was given by the Empress. Second Uncle, have you noticed something?"
Ji Jiuying asked.
"There are some things floating on this box that look like death energy. Has Xiao Jiu opened the box?"
"No, I've studied this box for a long time, but I still haven't been able to open it."
"Hiss~ This box doesn't seem to have any hidden mechanisms. Maybe I can try dripping blood on it!" Feng Che regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. If there were any problems with dripping blood on such an evil object, it would be a huge problem.
