Gong Mingyue picked her up with a pained expression. "Okay, I won't say anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before him instantly changed, and Gong Mingyue realized that this was Jiu'er's space.
He gently placed her on the soft, dreamy bed, then slipped inside, turning her to face him.
Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Nevertheless, a cloud of sorrow seemed to shroud her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing her unease.
Gong Mingyue placed his hand over her brow, seemingly trying to smooth out the wrinkles, but it seemed to have no effect. Her brow furrowed slightly. He held her tightly in his arms, placing his large hand on her back, and pale green spiritual energy continuously flowed into her body.
Soon, the chaotic energy within her body calmed down, and her brow relaxed as she slept more soundly. Gong Mingyue smiled with satisfaction and gently kissed her forehead.
Most of the people in the academy have left, but some have stayed on their own initiative, such as Qingling and Wen Chuyu.
When Ji Jiuying woke up, it was almost midnight.
She opened her eyes, and a magnified handsome face appeared in her pupils. Gong Mingyue was looking at her with a half-smile.
He was a devilishly handsome man; every smile and frown of his was seductive to her, yet she was drawn to his looks.
"Did Jiu'er sleep well?"
Ji Jiuying gently lifted his chin with her slender hand, "It's always nice to have a beautiful woman by your side~"
Gong Mingyue raised an eyebrow, flipped over and pinned her down, which really startled Ji Jiuying. This devilish devil, so easily provoked?
"beauty?"
Gong Mingyue's hoarse, deep voice rang in my ears.
"No, he's a handsome guy, hehe~" Ji Jiuying laughed awkwardly twice. Gong Mingyue didn't say anything, his deep eyes darkened, and his throat bobbed involuntarily.
"Ah Yue, I...I'm hungry...You get up first."
Gong Mingyue remained unmoved, a smile playing on his lips. "Perfect timing, I'm hungry too~"
"No, Yue, I'm serious... um~"
Ji Jiuying's eyes widened, and the words that were about to come out were swallowed back down. At this moment.
Glug~ Glug~
The two were slightly taken aback. Ji Jiuying blushed and pushed him away.
"I told you I'm really hungry!"
Gong Mingyue took Ji Jiuying's hand and looked at her with eyes full of affection, "What would you like to eat, Jiu'er?"
I want to eat barbecue~
Gong Mingyue raised an eyebrow. Was it the same kind of barbecue she had made before?
Thinking that all her friends, including his subordinates, had eaten her barbecue, while he had never had any, he felt a surge of displeasure.
Noticing his unusual behavior, Ji Jiuying asked, "What's wrong, Yue?"
"I haven't had your barbecue even once in all this time!" Gong Mingyue said resentfully.
Ji Jiuying shook her head helplessly. So that's what it was about. There were too many people before, so it really wasn't suitable for him to come.
"Then I'll make it up to you now, I'll cook it just for you."
Gong Mingyue then smiled with satisfaction.
After leaving the space, Gong Mingyue led Ji Jiuying to a quiet plain where there wasn't a single tree in sight.
Where is this?
"This is the back mountain of Star Academy." Ji Jiuying nodded. It turned out that the back mountain of Star Academy was actually a plain.
Today happens to be the fifteenth of the lunar month, and the moon seems to be hanging right above the mountain peak, its bright light spilling onto the earth and radiating a soft glow.
Ji Jiuying quickly took out two stools, a small table, a barbecue grill, ingredients, and so on from her space.
Gong Mingyue sat quietly to the side, watching her add some powders he didn't recognize to the ingredients to marinate, condense spiritual fire to heat the stone slab, and then take out some bottles and jars...
"Jiu'er, do you need my help?"
Ji Jiuying glanced back at him. The great Imperial Advisor was coming to cook for her? If the people in Kyoto knew, they would be shocked. Just thinking about it was terrifying. "No need."
"Ah Yue, do you eat spicy food?"
Gong Mingyue shook his head; he never ate spicy food.
"Then I'll make you some non-spicy sauce."
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
A hissing sound came from the stone slab.
"alright."
Ji Jiuying sat down and placed the marinated meat on the stone slab, turning it over and over. Soon, the aroma filled their nostrils.
Gong Mingyue swallowed hard. He wasn't hungry at first, but the aroma made him feel hungry all of a sudden.
The meat was caramel-colored. Ji Jiuying picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, and then placed it in Gong Mingyue's bowl.
"Ah Yue, try it quickly."
Ji Jiuying looked at him expectantly.
Gong Mingyue slowly picked up his chopsticks and elegantly picked up the piece of meat, then put it in his mouth.
Gong Mingyue was somewhat surprised, as the barbecue he had eaten before did not taste like this. Soon, his gaze fell on the dipping sauce.
"How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
"Delicious." Gong Mingyue nodded. This was his honest opinion. No wonder Yin Han and the others ate so heartily before.
Ji Jiuying's lips curved into a smile, her clear eyes reflecting the moonlight. Her gentle smile was like peach blossoms dancing in the moonlight, innocent yet charming.
"Jiu'er, don't worry about me, you should eat more too."
Gong Mingyue snapped out of his daze and said indulgently.
The two of them enjoyed their meal immensely.
"Ah Yue, how much do you know about the forbidden area of Star Academy?" Ji Jiuying asked while grilling meat.
"I know a little."
"Old Yu, he actually harbored murderous intent towards Qingling." Ji Jiuying frowned slightly.
Gong Mingyue paused, his expression flickering slightly, "What would you do if he really killed Qingling?"
"I will do anything to kill him."
A flash of murderous intent crossed Ji Jiuying's lowered eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
"However, it seems that he already knew that the Vermilion Bird was in my hands, and he also recognized Xiao Huang'er's appearance. Today, he asked me for help, wanting Xiao Huang'er to stay in the forbidden area for three months."
“I don’t know anything about that demon, nor do I know what the forbidden area is like, or whether it will affect Xiao Huang’er. I really can’t bear to leave Xiao Huang’er in the forbidden area.”
Upon hearing this, Gong Mingyue's expression flickered slightly. He chose not to kill Qingling and wanted the Vermilion Bird's true form to guard the forbidden area for three months.
He sneered inwardly. This old man wanted to use the Vermilion Bird's true form combined with his Buddhist forbidden techniques to reinforce the seal again. Heh, he really wasn't afraid of death. But for Jiu'er's sake, he could help him out.
He should be glad that he didn't covet Jiu'er.
“Jiu’er, with the Vermilion Bird’s true form present, along with the divine artifact, the seal is indeed unshakeable. Even if Qingling becomes demonic, it will only be for a short time. Once the Vermilion Bird leaves the seal, the consequences will be the same.”
"However, your master only used the Vermilion Bird's true form for three months. If I'm not mistaken, he wants to use a forbidden Buddhist technique to strengthen the seal at the cost of damaging his own cultivation. This is a good method, but his cultivation will plummet and his lifespan will be greatly reduced."
