Situ Qianqian glared angrily at Shen Miaoqing, cursing her ancestors to the eighteenth generation in her heart. However, her life was still in Wen Chuyu's hands, so she had no choice but to lower her head and look pitifully at Wen Longxiu, "Sister Axiu..."
"Miaoqing makes a good point. This time, out of consideration for the fact that we are both from three great families, we will spare your life!"
Wen Chuyu interrupted her, but Situ Qianqian was overjoyed to hear this, thinking she wouldn't die. However, before she could be happy for three seconds, Wen Chuyu's devilish voice came again, "Today I'll cut off your arm to teach you a lesson."
Before she could react, a flash of sword light appeared, blood splattered three meters away, and a scream pierced the sky. Situ Qianqian's right arm was severed off and fell into the pile of flesh. The arm moved around in the pile of rotten flesh, making people feel disgusted!
Wen Chuyu's expression was indifferent, his face as cold as frost, as if he had just cut off not an arm but a vine by the roadside.
Shen Miaoqing understood why Wen Chuyu didn't kill her, but this result was still quite good. If there weren't so many people around, she would have jumped up and applauded for her senior brother.
Wen Longting watched all this with a cold eye. Her gentle nature did not mean she was easy to bully. Since Situ Qianqian had received her due punishment, she was not the kind of person to be unreasonable. Looking at the island that was constantly shaking and sinking, she did not want to delay their descent from the mountain because of these two clowns, so she said, "Big brother, Miaoqing, let's go!"
With that, she grabbed Miaoqing and left without looking back. Wen Chuyu sheathed her sword and warned, "If there's a next time, it won't just be a broken arm!"
Situ Qianqian collapsed to the ground, nearly fainting from the pain. Situ Jiannan stepped forward to support her, fed her some painkillers and hemostatic pills, and said with exasperation, "The Wen family has changed a lot, and the ancestor is dead. How dare you still rush forward to your death!"
"Brother, you won't help me, and you're even criticizing your own sister here!" Situ Qianqian felt a little better after taking the pill, but she was both aggrieved and angry upon hearing this.
"I'm not helping you for your own good. You were in the wrong first. If I had spoken up and angered Wen Chuyu, would you still be alive to be shouting here?"
Situ Qianqian froze for a moment. Situ Jiannan picked her up and ran down the mountain. Situ Qianqian looked at the severed arm and cried out in alarm, "Brother, my arm!"
"What time is it now and you're still thinking about getting your arm back? Besides, where am I supposed to find a high-level alchemist to help you? By the time we get back to the capital, your severed arm will probably be rotting!" Situ Jiannan shouted angrily. He was already annoyed because he hadn't seen Sang Ning along the way, and this troublesome younger sister had caused even more trouble, making his already irritable mood even more furious.
Soon, everyone returned to the ship. The instant they left the island, the entire East China Sea collapsed and was submerged by seawater.
Wen Longting and Gu Qingfeng watched the boat slowly sail away. They searched around but couldn't find Ji Jiuying. They hurriedly called out, "Miaoqing, Sister, Qingling, where's Xiao Jiu? Why can't we find her?"
"Oh, she ran off with a handsome man!" Shen Miaoqing said with a smile.
Wen Longting and Gu Qingfeng looked completely bewildered and asked the crowd in confusion, "What? Who did Xiao Jiu run off with?"
"Don't worry, Senior Sister and that handsome man should have arrived at the academy by now!" Cheng Yue said.
"Who is that handsome man?"
"When that handsome man said he was Senior Sister's man, he was so domineering and arrogant. I was so envious!" Bai Mengfan recalled the scene and dreamed that she could also find such a domineering husband. Unfortunately, she was born into an official family and her marriage was not her own decision.
"Oh dear, tell me what happened!" Wen Longting and Gu Qingfeng were almost frantic with worry.
The group recounted the whole story in detail. Wen Longting's expression alternated between excitement and anger. Fortunately, everything turned out alright in the end. But who exactly was that man?
Everyone shook their heads, then looked at Qingling. Qingling looked at everyone, unsure whether she could speak, and finally just gently shook her head.
——
"Ah Yue, these flowers are for you!"
Gong Mingyue gazed at the twin lotus blossoms in the box, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes. He gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead with his large hand. "Jiu'er, you must keep this flower carefully. You must never take such risks again, not even for my sake."
Ji Jiuying was somewhat puzzled. How did he know? "You..."
“I know all this. A wisp of my soul resides in the Phoenix Frost Bracelet. I can sense and see when you are in danger. The reason you were able to wake up from this slumber is because your blood was absorbed by the soul within the Phoenix Frost Bracelet and transferred to my body.”
Gong Mingyue took her pale hand and stroked the Phoenix Frost Bracelet, explaining that he had only just learned that her blood was actually useful to him. Could it be because she was a congenital spiritual body? His eyes gleamed with an unusual dark light, but this matter must never be known to those people.
"Ah Yue, are you really alright?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying grabbed his hand again and reached out, but before she could explore properly, his large hand grasped hers and pulled her into his arms, his warm breath enveloping her.
"Jiu'er, thank you."
Gong Mingyue buried his head in Ji Jiuying's neck, greedily inhaling her fragrance. As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her earlobe, tickling her and making her body tremble involuntarily.
Ji Jiuying simply smiled. Two lifetimes...
This was her first real relationship with a man. She understood her own heart and knew what she wanted. Once she had chosen someone, that person would be her man, Ji Jiuying's man.
"What does it matter if I'm battered and bruised, as long as you can come back to me!"
Gong Mingyue was stunned, and his arms around her tightened involuntarily, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.
Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the Phoenix Frost Bracelet in her hand. She recalled what Yingyue had said back then: it was her blood that preserved his last wisp of soul, but it was only a wisp of soul that was preserved. Whether he could wake up was still unknown. So when she learned from the Evil Fire that the World-Destroying Demon Wolf had twin lotus flowers inside him, she deliberately let the World-Destroying Demon Wolf swallow her whole. Only in this way could she kill the World-Destroying Demon Wolf and make the twin lotus flowers appear in the world.
Ji Jiuying quickly broke free from his embrace, grabbed his hand, and cautiously examined it.
She released Gong Mingyue's hand after a while. Strange, how could his pulse be so steady? The poison was also suppressed. Before she could ask anything, the two of them arrived above Liu Hai.
"Ah Yue, this is the place I'm talking about."
Ji Jiuying pointed to the calm, lake-like sea below. Gong Mingyue narrowed his dark, deep eyes and looked in the direction she was pointing, as if trying to see through the seabed.
