The white dragon slowly approached the large ship, and the girl leaped down from the dragon's head and walked towards Liu Piaopiao.
The dragon's body gradually shrank, transforming into a bracelet that wrapped around Ji Jiuying's hand.
Suddenly, she reached out, and an invisible force gripped Liu Piaopiao's neck tightly, slowly lifting her up so that her feet were off the ground. Liu Piaopiao's face contorted in pain as her feet struggled incessantly in the air.
Duan Tianliang made a move to rescue Liu Piaopiao, but Cheng Yue and Shen Miaoqing stepped forward to block his way.
“Duan Tianliang, this is her retribution! If you insist on going up there, you will die too,” Cheng Yue said.
"Cheng Yue, Senior Sister Piao Piao is innocent. Are you just going to stand by and watch our eldest senior sister kill her?" Duan Tianliang said anxiously.
"Heh, why didn't you see when she tried to kill Xiao Jiu? Only you think she's innocent!" Shen Miaoqing sneered. "If you want to save her, fine, but only if you can beat both of us."
After saying that, a sharp glint appeared in Shen Miaoqing's eyes. Duan Tianliang was stunned. Defeat her? How could that be possible, especially against two of them!
"Liu Piaopiao, I truly regret letting you go time and time again!" Ji Jiuying exuded a chilling aura, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and in an instant, the winds of change surged.
"Whether you're innocent or being used... you have to die!"
A blood lotus bloomed between his brows, its crimson light flashing.
"No, Ji Jiuying, I am the chief disciple of the Alchemy Sect, you can't... you can't kill me!" Liu Piaopiao panicked completely, grabbing Ji Jiuying's wrists with both hands, her face flushed, and coughing a few times as she spoke.
"Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, I would kill you!" Ji Jiuying said coldly. Everyone looked at her; the girl was as cold as frost, her eyes filled with arrogance and conceit.
With a flick of his hand, he tossed Liu Piaopiao onto the sea surface, leaving her suspended in mid-air, unable to move. "Since you were prepared to scheme against me, you should be prepared to be pierced by a thousand arrows!"
Her palm trembled slightly as the Blazing Sun Bow shot out and landed in her hand. A blood-red light flashed in her eyes, and with a gentle lift of her hand, countless fiery red arrows burst forth, transforming into fire dragons that pierced towards Liu Piaopiao from all directions.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. That was the divine artifact, the Blazing Sun Bow!
The sea surface is dazzling with light, yet also shimmering with blood; it is beautiful but dangerous.
Liu Piaopiao stared wide-eyed in horror as she watched countless arrows pierce through her body. "No!"
*Pfft!* Blood gushed from her mouth, blurring her vision. She was unwilling to accept it! Struggling to lift her head, she laughed maniacally, "Ji Jiuying, you will die a horrible death! I curse you to be devoid of love and affection, to love but never be loved, forever..."
puff!
Before Liu Piaopiao could finish speaking, she looked down in disbelief at the location of her heart.
The blood flowed into the sea, adding a vibrant splash of color to the surface.
A large knife pierced through Liu Piaopiao's heart, quickly turned a corner, and returned to Feng Che's hand. Feng Che expressionlessly wiped the knife with a towel.
In the waves, a large, dark fish, barely visible, surged out of the sea, its gaping maw swallowing Liu Piaopiao whole. The sea exploded, splashing seawater onto the people on the boat.
Upon seeing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill run down their spines, resolving never to provoke Ji Jiuying again.
Heh, unrequited love, huh? Ji Jiuying's expression remained unchanged as the Blazing Sun Bow vanished from her hand.
Nobody wants to kill, but if you don't want to be killed, you have to kill people first to eliminate future troubles.
Duan Tianliang collapsed to the ground, staring at Ji Jiuying in disbelief. "Ji Jiuying, how could you be so cruel? Why can't you listen to her explanation!"
Ji Jiuying turned her head and looked at him coldly, then sneered, "Sorry, I have nothing to do with kindness. Anyone who messes with me will pay with their life. You have no right to disapprove of what I do, but you have the right to gouge out your own eyes!"
Faced with so many unfriendly stares, Duan Tianliang was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Miss, I'm so glad you're alright!" Qingling stepped forward and took Ji Jiuying's hand. As she did so, Qingling noticed something was wrong with Ji Jiuying. Ji Jiuying's entire weight had fallen onto Qingling, her vision went black, and she fainted. "Miss!"
"Xiao Jiu!"
Only then did everyone realize that Ji Jiuying's black clothes had already been stained dark red with blood.
A figure in black suddenly appeared, picked up Ji Jiuying, and was about to carry her to the room when Yingyue suddenly flashed in front of her, pointed her sword at Ye Qingchen, and said coldly, "Put her down!"
"Get out of my way!" Ye Qingchen said expressionlessly, a decision flashing in his eyes.
"Put her down!"
"Yingyue, stop this! Miss is seriously injured!" Qingling rushed forward to block the sword. She knew that Yingyue had long regarded Miss as the mistress and did not want her to be touched by other men, but now it was a critical moment and she could not care about anything else.
Yingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and the sword in her hand unconsciously moved a little further away. Watching the blood dripping from Ji Jiuying's body onto the ground, she hesitated for a moment, then sheathed her sword and walked to the side.
Ji Jiuying woke up again the following night, with only Qingling beside her.
She tried to get up, but the sharp pain in her back made her wince. Seeing this, she took out a pill from her spatial storage and swallowed it. After a while, she felt much better.
Speaking of which, she was able to survive this time entirely thanks to the little boy. She finally understood why everyone said that there was no chance of survival if she fell into the Flowing Sea. The moment she entered the Flowing Sea, before she could react at all, her eyes were covered by darkness, and then she lost consciousness.
It was the little boy who protected her with his power. The whirlpool at the bottom of the sea swept her and the little boy to the bottom of the sea. She didn't stay there for long before she regained consciousness. With the little boy's dragon power protecting her, she could move around in the sea almost as well as on land.
Beneath the seabed was not endless darkness, but countless seashells and pearls emitting blue light. Before her appeared an underwater palace, but in contrast to the palace's magnificence, its exterior was piled with the bones of countless humans and spirit beasts, presumably those spiritual cultivators who had fallen into the Flowing Sea and perished.
The pillars on both sides of the palace gate seemed to lead to the heavenly palace, with no end in sight. She glanced at it briefly and discovered that there was a hidden world at the bottom of the sea, but since they still had to go to the East Sea, she gave up on going into the palace.
The sources of all the underwater whirlpools that had drawn her in were concentrated in a black hole. According to Xie Huo, there seemed to be the aura of an ancient artifact inside the black hole, which greatly excited Ji Jiuying. She planned to come back to this place again when she returned from the East Sea.
The injury to her back was caused by being accidentally hit by a rock in the whirlpool when she came up, which was also her fault for being too careless.
Ji Jiuying carefully sat up, looked at the sleeping Qingling, and gently got out of bed, but still disturbed Qingling.
"Miss, you're awake!" Qingling quickly stepped forward to support Ji Jiuying. "Miss, you're still injured, go to sleep."
