Ji Jiuying beamed with joy, finally emerging, as if she had just remembered something.
She still felt a little awkward looking at Gong Mingyue, and touched her nose, her heart filled with mixed feelings. "Thank you, Grand Preceptor."
Gong Mingyue's handsome dark eyes shone brightly as he patted Ji Jiuying's head. "Little Jiu'er, don't be too moved. Of course, if Little Jiu'er wants to repay me with her body, I would be more than happy to do so."
Ji Jiuying's feelings vanished instantly. Couldn't this man be a little more serious?
Ji Jiuying gave him a push in annoyance and glared at him.
"You used my body and then pushed me away. Little Jiu'er, you have such a cruel heart." Gong Mingyue pretended to cover his chest.
Ji Jiuying simply ignored him. This man was always bullying her, and if this continued, she would be driven crazy by this scoundrel.
She walked straight ahead, and Gong Mingyue caught up with her, but she turned around and walked in another direction.
"Little Jiu'er?"
"Little Jiu'er? Are you angry? Alright, I won't tease you anymore, so don't be angry."
The dignified Grand Preceptor, a god-like man, was now humbly coaxing the famous good-for-nothing of the Cangyue Kingdom.
If this gets out, Ji Jiuying will be drowned in people's spittle. What has she done to deserve such treatment from the Imperial Preceptor?
Only Ji Jiuying is so ungrateful. If any other woman had angered the Imperial Preceptor, she would probably have been killed many times over.
Seeing that he couldn't coax her, Gong Mingyue pulled her into his arms and said wearily, "Okay, don't be angry."
Ji Jiuying instinctively pushed him away, thinking that as usual, no matter how much she pushed, he wouldn't let go.
With a 'thud,' Gong Mingyue fell to the ground.
Ji Jiuying was startled and noticed that something was wrong with him. She quickly came to him and took his hand to check his pulse.
"What a chaotic pulse!"
"Didn't I tell you not to use your spiritual power lightly?"
The thought that he did it all for her... a deep sense of guilt washed over Ji Jiuying.
How come she didn't notice anything wrong with him before? And she's an alchemist, after all.
His incomparably handsome face was deathly pale, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his pupils were bloodshot.
Seeing Gong Mingyue like this, Ji Jiuying's eyes instantly reddened, and a warm tear welled up in them.
At this moment, any resentment I felt towards him had long since vanished.
"Gong Mingyue, how could you be so foolish?" Why? Why would you risk your life to save her?
Gong Mingyue reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks, his eyes growing redder and redder, as if something was about to burst out of his chest.
A powerful aura permeated the air, causing all the spirit beasts within a ten-mile radius to panic and scatter in all directions.
Gong Mingyue's face was filled with rage, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and his sharp eyes were fixed on her.
Suddenly he shoved Ji Jiuying away, "Little Jiu'er~ Go away, go away quickly, I can't hold back anymore."
"No, I won't leave you." Ji Jiuying realized something—his poison had taken effect! How could he leave him here alone?
She quickly took out the pills she had previously prepared for him, but before she could even get close, she was repelled by the power emanating from him.
"Gong Mingyue, calm down."
Ji Jiuying was extremely anxious. She couldn't get close to him at all, let alone feed him medicine.
"Get out of here! Get lost!"
At this moment, Gong Mingyue's pupils were already shrouded in red, his cold and handsome face was filled with murderous intent, and a red blood mist emanated from his body, making him look like a vengeful ghost from hell.
The aura emanating from him was particularly terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and bolts of lightning struck down into the forest. The roars of countless spirit beasts and the stench of blood on the ground were nauseating.
"Master!" Yingyue and two other men also arrived at the scene.
Yingyue and the other two tried to get close to Gong Mingyue, but he knocked them all away with a single move, causing them to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Ji Jiuying swallowed hard, staring in disbelief.
Gong Mingyue slowly walked towards Yingyue and the others, watching as they were about to be killed.
A red figure blocked their way.
"The God of Rain!"
Si Yu sensed something and rushed over. As expected, he had fallen ill.
Gong Mingyue was now delirious and didn't recognize anyone. When he saw someone blocking his way, he angrily attacked the red figure.
Si Yu was no match for Gong Mingyue to begin with, let alone Gong Mingyue who had already gone mad!
After more than ten rounds of fighting, Si Yu was defeated.
Si Yu knelt on one knee, coughed up blood, and looked rather disheveled as she told them to leave quickly.
But Gong Mingyue was already in a killing frenzy, so how could he let them leave?
A huge ball of blood condensed in his hand, ready to attack them.
"Gong, Gong Mingyue..."
She swallowed hard and called out to Gong Mingyue, who was surrounded by red mist.
Si Yu then noticed Ji Jiuying's presence; it was her.
They finally understood why Gong Mingyue had suddenly fallen ill.
Yingyue, Yin Han, and Wuxin were all sweating bullets for her.
Yingyue silently prayed, "Master, please don't do anything to harm Miss Ji! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Gong Mingyue turned around and walked step by step toward Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying looked at him in front of her. She had never seen him like this before. He seemed completely unfamiliar to her. Ji Jiuying didn't dare to move. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid.
He didn't speak, his blood-red eyes fixed on her.
Suddenly, the blood sphere in his hand gradually dissipated, and he raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on her face.
Bang!
Gong Mingyue's hand slipped, and he lunged at Ji Jiuying, both of them falling to the ground.
The dark clouds in the sky then dissipated.
"master!"
Yingyue and the others breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to pull Gong Mingyue away, because Ji Jiuying couldn't push him away by herself.
Ji Jiuying quickly took his hand to check his pulse, which was as erratic as before.
I took out the pills I had prepared earlier and fed it to him, but there was no improvement.
"I'm afraid the suppressing pills are no longer effective for him. Only by refining the Nine Revolutions Universe Pill can this poison be completely cured." Si Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
Then, Si Yu took his hand and slowly felt his pulse, her face gradually becoming serious.
"Lord of Rain, how is Master now?" Yin Han asked anxiously.
"The poison has spread to his internal organs, and he's even losing control of himself when it flares up... The situation is dire. If we can't find the Crimson Crystal Mushroom and the Mystic Ice Flower soon... I'm afraid..."
When it happens, I can't control myself anymore—just like when I was just recovering?
All of this is because she forced her way into the secret realm, which would definitely have backfired, and she was already unable to use spiritual power.
She couldn't imagine that powerful man was now hanging by a thread.
