The girl's instinctive reserve crumbled, and as she opened her eyes slightly, looking at the stunningly beautiful face so close to her, she admitted that she had truly fallen for her.
Noticing her distraction, Gong Mingyue smiled wickedly. His gentleness changed, becoming like a storm, probing deep into her lips and teeth, conquering and sweeping away everything in its path. His domineering possessiveness almost crushed her.
Thoughts and reason both sank into oblivion, willingly collapsing into utter defeat.
Gradually, Ji Jiuying was driven away by Gong Mingyue's burning aura. She placed her hand on the back of his neck, hugged him, her blood boiling and burning, stimulating her last remaining rationality. Her soft lips responded to him passionately.
The intense and lengthy process lasted for an unknown amount of time before Gong Mingyue finally released her.
His gaze fell on her cherry lips, which were slightly red from his kiss, and Gong Mingyue lowered his head again to give her a light peck on the lips.
"Jiu'er, when you come to the Heavenly Domain Continent, shall we get engaged?"
Gong Mingyue buried his head in her neck, breathing in her scent. His deep, husky voice came to her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe as he spoke, making her body tremble involuntarily.
For some reason, she couldn't bear to refuse Gong Mingyue, but she also couldn't agree to his request. "A-Yue, I want to find my mother first..."
"Okay~ I'll listen to Xiao Jiu!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly. She remembered how he had always indulged her since they confessed their feelings for each other. Her delicate hand on his waist tightened unconsciously. "A-Yue, thank you."
The two embraced and remained silent for a while until a knock came at the door, at which point they reluctantly let go.
"Little Ninth Miss, are you inside?"
It's Gu Qingfeng.
He had just left the city lord's mansion when he heard the innkeeper say that a young lady surnamed Ji was waiting for him at the inn, so he rushed over without stopping.
The door opened from the inside, and seeing Gu Qingfeng covered in injuries, Ji Jiuying frowned slightly. "What did you do?"
Gu Qingfeng chuckled lightly, unconcerned, "It's alright!"
Thinking back to the last time the Blazing Sun Bow required ten ounces of blood, she guessed what was going on. Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Ji Jiuying didn't press him further.
Upon entering the private room, Ji Jiuying noticed that Gu Qingfeng seemed normal, and couldn't help but look at Gong Mingyue, who was sitting by the window, with a puzzled expression.
[Jiu'er, he can't see the real person!]
Ji Jiuying then understood.
“Little Miss Jiu, we must leave here as soon as possible. Hua Shi’an has already given orders regarding the Blazing Sun Bow. The Northern Capital is now spies everywhere. Once you enter the Northern Capital, he will know…”
She understood everything Gu Qingfeng said, but this time, she was with Gong Mingyue, so the spies couldn't detect that they had entered the city.
Ji Jiuying chuckled and said confidently, "Don't worry, he won't be able to find me!"
Even if Hua Shi'an finds out, so what? Isn't she here for revenge?
Despite her words, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but worry, especially since Ji Jiuying had come alone. He didn't want her to be put in a difficult position by Hua Shi'an because she was helping him save Wuyou.
Gong Mingyue had already disappeared from the window when Gu Qingfeng mentioned Hua Shi'an. Ji Jiuying probably guessed where he went, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Give me all the medicinal herbs you've found."
Gu Qingfeng quickly took out the spiritual herbs from his spatial storage and handed them to Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying took the elixir and examined it, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Dew of a Hundred Herbs, Heavenly Henness, Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Buddha's Heart Fruit, Resurrection Ghost Flower... These are all rare spiritual herbs, and he was able to find them all. Ji Jiuying couldn't help but admire his abilities.
"Gu Qingfeng, if I may ask, where did you obtain this Resurrection Flower?"
Ji Jiuying picked up the flower that looked like a ghost face and examined it. The Ghost Flower of Resurrection usually grows in a gloomy environment where it never sees sunlight, and it must be in a pile of bones. It looks like a skull face, so people call it the Ghost Flower of Resurrection.
"To be honest, I didn't find this resurrection flower myself; I bought it in the ghost market during the Western Jin Dynasty."
Gu Qingfeng said that over the years, in order to find medicinal herbs for Hua Wuyou, he had been to almost every place in the Cangming Continent, and was a frequent visitor to the underground ghost markets of the three major countries. He knew that the ghost markets contained all kinds of spiritual treasures and spiritual medicines that could not be bought outside.
Ji Jiuying counted the spiritual herbs and found that she was still missing a few, but it wasn't a big problem. Her space was full of all kinds of spiritual herbs, except for one one: the Rebirth Lotus. However, she could use the Blue Nether Lotus as a substitute. The Rebirth Lotus had stronger medicinal properties, while the Blue Nether Lotus was the opposite. Perhaps the Blue Nether Lotus was more suitable for refining the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill than the Rebirth Lotus.
As for the essence blood of the divine beast... she planned to make a deal with Hei Xiangling. She had already investigated and found that the essence blood of the sacred beast could also be used in the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill. The only downside was that Hua Wuyou's mortal body might not be able to withstand it. Ji Jiuying had thought about it and decided to combine it with soul techniques to treat her at the same time, and then break off a branch of the Soul Nourishing Wood to nourish her soul.
"Little Ninth Miss, when are we going to the summit of the snow mountain?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
"tonight."
Without hesitation, Ji Jiuying replied, and Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Miss Jiu, Hua Shi'an goes to see Wuyou every night... we might run into him."
Gu Qingfeng knew that Hua Shi'an wouldn't believe Ji Jiuying could refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, and might even try to stop her, but Gu Qingfeng believed that as long as there was even the slightest possibility, he wouldn't give up.
"Don't worry, Hua Shi'an probably won't be able to come up to the top of this snow mountain tonight," Ji Jiuying chuckled.
The snow-covered city takes on a mysterious air in the dead of night. Moonlight spills onto the snow-capped mountains, making them appear even more majestic and magnificent. The snow shimmers with a silvery-white light, and the starry sky is dazzling, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
It won't be long.
Ji Jiuying and Gu Qingfeng soon arrived at the summit of the snow-capped mountain.
Although Ji Jiuying said that Hua Shi'an was not able to go to the top of the snow mountain tonight, he was still a little uneasy. He calmed down and opened the door of the Snow Palace.
Suddenly, a powerful aura approached, and an overwhelming sense of oppression swept over him, making Gu Qingfeng's heart leap into his throat.
After a cloud of dust, a man in a black robe trailing on the ground walked towards them. His deep, dark eyes were half-closed, and his peerless face was shrouded in cold indifference, like frost. He seemed to be born with an oppressive aura that looked down on the world, making people unconsciously afraid to look him in the eye.
So strong!
Gu Qingfeng was extremely vigilant.
"Ah Yue, you're taking a little longer than I expected."
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow, as if asking a question.
“He has a powerful figure by his side, which makes things a bit troublesome.” Gong Mingyue reached out and gently tucked a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear.
Gu Qingfeng, who was about to speak, came back to his senses. So they knew each other. He seemed to finally understand what Ji Jiuying had told him. But... Hua Shi'an was Wuyou's only family member after all. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but he didn't say it.
