Xin Yao's face remained calm, but the fleeting jealousy in her eyes and the heaving of her chest completely betrayed her.
Recalling the tenderness he showed her when they were in the lower realm, she thought that she was already very satisfied with being in the Nine Heavens Divine Palace compared to other women. But now, her intimacy in front of Ji Jiuying was so ironic and laughable!
“Miss Ji, I think you have misunderstood me. Everyone knows that I, Xin Yao, was raised by the Venerable One and am merely his adopted sister. Miss Ji, you have just arrived in the Heavenly Domain Continent. If you suffer any injustices outside, as the Venerable One’s adopted sister, I will definitely seek justice for you.”
Xin Yao suddenly changed her attitude, but there was a hint of mockery in her gaze as she looked at Ji Jiuying.
Hei Xiangling sneered, her eyes filled with undisguised sarcasm. "Hey Xin Yao, can you stop acting in front of us? If I hadn't seen how ruthless you are, I would have almost believed you, you old fool."
Sensing something, Ji Jiuying saw a familiar figure at the door. She wondered how Xin Yao could have suddenly changed her tune.
The sarcasm in her eyes became even more obvious; Xin Yao was truly cunning.
"Ah Yue, what brings you here?"
Ji Jiuying smiled as she looked at the newcomer.
Bai Lisha's eyes widened, and she quickly pulled Hei Xiangling away from her.
Black Pear: ...
"I was passing by when I heard Jiu'er's voice, so I came to take a look."
Soon Gong Mingyue came to her, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at Ji Jiuying.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly, and she made a teasing remark.
"What? You can't bear to part with me?"
Gong Mingyue looked down into those star-like eyes and gave a low reply.
The scene was so jarring to Xin Yao's eyes that her tightly clenched hands trembled slightly.
“Your Majesty, Miss Ji is new here. Why don’t you let Yao’er show her around the Nine Heavens Divine Palace?” Xin Yao’s voice came like a nightingale, interrupting the two’s flirting.
"No need, I am not worthy of Fairy Xin Yao's kindness!"
Ji Jiuying's cold voice came, and her gaze toward Xin Yao was blatantly hostile.
Xin Yao's pure, white face was filled with grievances, and her eyes were brimming with tears, making her look pitiful.
Unfortunately, Gong Mingyue didn't even glance at her, and a hint of sadness flashed across Xin Yao's eyes.
"Miss Ji, I just wanted to..."
"Xin Yao, I don't have time to play your innocent act. Please try to talk to me with your sword from now on."
Ji Jiuying impatiently interrupted her, then looked at Bai Lisha and Hei Xiangling.
"Xiaobai, Xiangling, let's go."
After saying that, he pulled the two of them and turned to leave, leaving Gong Mingyue and Xin Yao stunned in place. Gong Mingyue looked at his empty palm, his face darkened, and a layer of gloom appeared in his deep eyes. He looked at Xin Yao with displeasure.
He then disappeared from the main hall.
"Your Excellency!"
Xin Yao tried to call out to Gong Mingyue, but all she got in response was a vanished afterimage.
Yingyue appeared and led the three away from the Nine Heavens Palace. As they walked, Ji Jiuying realized that the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, like the Demon Palace, was suspended in mid-air, but the Nine Heavens Divine Palace was much larger than the Demon Palace.
The Demon Palace is mostly filled with buildings, but the Nine Heavens Divine Palace is different. It has mountains, water, flowers, and trees, and from a distance, it looks like a mirage or a fairyland.
"Hey brat, you left that man and that white lotus in the main hall, aren't you worried at all?" Hei Xiangling said.
Bai Lisha agreed, "Yes, Xiao Jiu, the way Xin Yao looked at the God of Slaughter was as if she wanted to devour him whole."
Ji Jiuying laughed and said, "What's there to worry about? If he liked Xin Yao, I, Ji Jiuying, wouldn't be here."
As they spoke, the group arrived in front of a large stone tablet. The tablet was almost transparent and shone with a golden light under the sun. Yingyue said, "Mistress, this stone tablet is the gate of our Nine Heavens Divine Palace. After you drip a drop of blood into it and it absorbs it, you can directly enter the Nine Heavens Divine Palace in the future."
What happens if there's no blood?
“Mistress, every drop of blood is blocked by the barrier of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. If you want to enter the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, you need to wait for the guards to report to you.”
"That's right, I came as soon as the sky started to lighten, but by the time the guards announced me, the sun had already risen before I was able to go in." Bai Lisha got angry just thinking about it.
Ji Jiuying then understood that she used her spiritual power to cut her finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the stone tablet and was instantly absorbed.
"Then it's my turn, should I get it done too?"
Hei Xiangling quickly stepped forward and asked, but Yingyue glanced at her and said, "You have a contract with the mistress, so you don't need to."
"I...I...can I? I don't want to have to wait half a day to come and play with Xiao Jiu in the future."
Bai Lisha looked at Yingyue pleadingly, "Saintess Bai, please do as you please."
Upon hearing this, Shiraisha's eyes lit up. Naturally, she figured it was up to her, and she wouldn't hold back!
Seeing that her blood was also absorbed by the stone tablet, Shiraisha clapped her hands and revealed a satisfied smile.
At this moment, Yingyue released the Roc, and the group leaped onto it.
The roc glided swiftly and soon landed in the city beneath the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, named Divine Capital. It was the largest city under the Nine Heavens Divine Palace and also the largest capital city in the Heavenly Realm.
As the group walked down the bustling street, several women dressed in identical outfits approached and bowed respectfully to Shiraisha.
"Holy Maiden, the Palace Master has ordered that you return to Yaochi immediately."
Bai Lisha frowned, her face full of displeasure. She had only been away for a few days, and her master had come to see her again!
"Did Master say what it was about?"
"Your Majesty, this disciple does not know."
"Xiao Jiu, where are you planning to go? Would you like to visit my Yaochi Palace?" Bai Lisha turned to Ji Jiuying and Hei Xiangling and asked.
Ji Jiuying shook her head, and Bai Lisha's face immediately fell. They had just reunited and were about to part again.
Her eyes darted around, and then Bai Lisha gave Ji Jiuying and Hei Xiangling a wink. Seeing Bai Lisha's cunning expression, the two instantly understood what she was going to do.
"Xiangling, I'm leaving you with this."
The disciples of Yaochi frowned, unable to understand what they were saying.
Hei Xiangling's lips curled up slightly, and she pulled Bai Lisha and Ji Jiuying away from where they were in an instant. The group stared wide-eyed, their hearts sinking.
"·····"
"Should we... give chase?"
"But we still have to be able to catch up!"
"Then what should we do?"
"What can we do but tell the Palace Master the truth!"
In the forest not far from the capital, a group of people suddenly appeared, startling all the birds in the surrounding area into flight.
"Hahaha, I can't imagine what those people's expressions must be like." Shiraisha burst into laughter.
"Won't you be punished by the White Spirit God if you come out with us?" Ji Jiuying asked her helplessly.
"No, at most I'll just mutter a few words about it."
Upon seeing this, Ji Jiuying summoned Yingyue from the shadows and rode the Roc straight towards Blue Star.
