“Go on.”
About fifteen minutes later, she knew almost everything she needed to know. However, what she never expected was that Murong Jinxiu would become the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty! The only female emperor.
From the moment Murong Jinxiu became empress, she sent people everywhere to inquire about her, and she also sought out a handsome man.
Ji Jiuying was puzzled. She had no connection with Murong Jinxiu at all, and since she had already ascended to immortality, why would she want to inquire about her affairs?
While Yingyue was still hesitating about whether to present the portrait, Ji Jiuying spoke up, "Do you have a portrait?"
Yingyue glanced at Gong Mingyue, then took out a painting from her bosom and presented it to him. Ji Jiuying looked at his expression, which further confirmed her answer.
So when the portrait was opened, Ji Jiuying was not surprised.
The man in the painting is dressed in blood-red robes, exuding an innate noble aura. His dark eyes are as cold as blades, and his features are three-dimensional and distinct, carrying an indescribable sharp and majestic air. He seems to be a masterpiece carefully sculpted by the heavens, perfect to the point of being flawless.
The painting depicts A Yue's posture at Longtou Mountain. The portrait is lifelike, and it's clear that Murong Jinxiu painted him with boundless love.
"Ah Yue, aren't you curious?"
A wicked smile flashed across Ji Jiuying's eyes.
"I am only curious about Jiu'er."
Gong Mingyue's voice was devoid of any emotion, drifting over in a low, eerie tone.
"But I'm interested in the handsome men in this painting. Such men would be the best candidates to be husbands."
As soon as she finished speaking, the air around them suddenly dropped sharply, and Ji Jiuying and Yingyue couldn't help but shiver. Yingyue even rubbed her forehead.
Just as Ji Jiuying was stunned, the painting she was holding suddenly flew into Gong Mingyue's hand.
When Gong Mingyue saw the portrait, fragmented memories instantly flooded his mind.
Those who harm her shall die!
The man in red descended from the sky, and with a mere wave of his hand, he instantly vanished from the world of those who had harmed her.
The woman lying in a pool of blood looked at him with immense grievance, her tears seeming to be telling him about the injustice she had suffered.
The man in red scooped up the woman from the ground, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. In an instant, the entire scene transformed into a hellish spectacle, the heavens and earth stained crimson with blood, all for the sake of avenging her…
Gong Mingyue frowned and closed his eyes. Ji Jiuying and Yingyue noticed that something was wrong with him and quickly went to check on him.
"master!"
"Ah Yue? What's wrong?"
Gong Mingyue didn't speak, but instead held his head in his hands, enduring the pain of his brain being bitten and torn apart.
"Ah Yue, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Ji Jiuying let go of his hand and didn't notice anything amiss. But then her eyes caught sight of the painting lying on the ground, and something flashed through her mind.
If there's nothing seriously wrong with his health, then that's the reason for the painting.
"Ah Yue, has something come to mind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pain in Gong Mingyue's mind gradually disappeared, and the images gradually became clearer.
Gong Mingyue nodded to Ji Jiuying, "Longtou Mountain, Jiu'er will avenge herself..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying's breath hitched. She finally understood that whenever anything about her and his past appeared before him, he would gradually recall those memories.
Remembering something, Ji Jiuying quickly showed him the burn mark on her hand caused by the Crimson Crystal Fungus, her voice trembling as she asked, "A-Yue, do you still remember?"
Gong Mingyue's expression darkened as intense pain returned, more than three times worse than before.
Seeing the pain on his face, and a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth as he endured the intense pain, Ji Jiuying felt a pang of panic. How could this be?
Yingyue hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Mistress, I'm afraid we can't rush this matter..."
Ji Jiuying understood what Yingyue meant, so she quickly covered her wound, hugged him, and kept comforting him: "Okay, Yue, don't think about it anymore!"
It took Gong Mingyue about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to return to normal.
"Ah Yue, how are you now?"
"It's alright now."
Ji Jiuying finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that recovering her memories would have to be done slowly.
At this moment, another bodyguard emerged from outside the door, his body covered only by his eyes, and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi Palace requests an audience. She says she's here to see Xiao Jiu..."
Before the shadow guard could finish speaking, he was blasted away by a force, crashing into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Blood flowed from under the black mask, and the man quickly endured the pain and knelt down.
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
"How dare you call me 'Little Nine'?"
The man lowered his head, enduring the oppressive aura emanating from Gong Mingyue.
"Ah Yue, alright, Xiao Bai and I know each other, and he's also good friends with my spirit beast." Ji Jiuying frowned, not wanting him to become so ferocious because of her.
The man kneeling on the ground stiffened slightly, only then realizing that there was a woman standing next to the Venerable One, who was undoubtedly Xiao Jiu, the one he had mentioned.
But you can't blame him for that. At his current level, he wouldn't dare to look up at His Majesty.
"Raise your head!"
Gong Mingyue said in a neutral tone.
The man hesitated for a moment before slowly raising his head. When he saw Ji Jiuying, he quickly lowered his head, his eyes filled with shock. This woman was even more beautiful than Fairy Xin Yao, especially her clear, unambiguous eyes.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that he felt it was a desecration to look at her even for a second, as if everyone else in the world was merely an accessory to her.
Compared to her, what beauty was Xin Yao Fairy?
"When you see her in the future, call her Mistress."
Upon hearing this, the man in black froze in shock once again. Had he heard correctly? The mistress?
In the Heavenly Domain Continent, everyone knows that the Netherworld God of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace never gets close to women. Any woman who dares to approach him is now reporting to the King of Hell. Over time, the rumors have become even more outrageous, claiming that their Lord is homosexual…
But it turns out that the master's sexual orientation is not a problem!
"Yes, I understand!"
The man snapped out of his daze and quickly said...
"Have the Holy Maiden of Yaochi Palace wait in the front hall."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After that person left, Ji Jiuying looked at Gong Mingyue: "A-Yue, I should be leaving with Xiaobai later."
Gong Mingyue held her in his arms: "Can I come to you when I miss you?"
A glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes: "But you are only allowed to come during the day, not at night."
"good."
After Gong Mingyue finished speaking, he looked at Yingyue and said, "From now on, you will stay by Jiu'er's side."
Yingyue stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting: "Yes, Master."
As they emerged from the main hall, Yingyue reappeared behind Ji Jiuying. Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow and looked at Yingyue, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"yes."
"Speak."
"Ye Qingchen has disappeared. I heard that his forces and the Wuji Sect are all looking for him."
Ji Jiuying frowned. Missing?
