In the clouds, the blue-eyed boy's eyes were filled with worry. He closed them briefly; she wouldn't survive the third divine punishment...
Rumble.
Thunder roared overhead once more, and streaks of lightning flashed across the clouds, constantly coalescing into a single mass, like a giant dragon soaring through the sky.
The girl on the ground lay in a pool of blood with her eyes closed. Her blood-red clothes and bright red blood were like flowers blooming on a grassland.
The divine punishment moved and converged directly above her, and she was completely unaware of it.
Click—
The entire sky above Jiuhua Mountain was illuminated by lightning, with bolts as thick as bowls striking Ji Jiuying's location like dragons emerging from the sea.
Bang.
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.
Crackling sounds!
The divine punishment manifested as hundreds of bolts of lightning that struck Jiuhua Mountain in all directions, emitting dazzling light.
Seemingly sensing something, Ji Jiuying opened her eyes with difficulty. A blue light was reflected in her pupils, and hundreds of bolts of lightning spread out in all directions from her. Her icy blue eyes were almost in a berserk state.
A sweet, metallic taste rose in his mouth, staining his blue robes with a splash of crimson. The robes that had been covering his head were blown to the ground by the wind, revealing his original appearance.
A look of surprise flashed across Ji Jiuying's eyes, and her mouth opened slightly.
"First Feather..."
At this moment, he roared to the sky, and the power from the Heavenly Dao exploded instantly. The lightning shattered into pieces and then dissipated into the world. The dark clouds in the sky also dispersed.
Bang!
Wen Chuyu collapsed not far from Ji Jiuying. Her ethereal appearance was no more. Dragging her heavy body, she stood up and slowly walked towards Ji Jiuying, lifting her from the pool of blood.
"Chu Yu, you shouldn't have helped me block the heavenly punishment."
He is the will of Heaven, with his own responsibilities, and shouldn't break the rules for her sake. She also knew that his interference in human affairs would surely incur divine punishment.
"You saved my life, so this is how I repay your kindness."
If it weren't for her appearance, he would have long been despondent and heartbroken; if it weren't for her appearance, she would never have embarked on the path of Heaven.
"Chu Yu, put me down."
Wen Chuyu stopped and carefully put her down.
Ji Jiuying poured two cups of spiritual spring water with her mind, drank one herself, and handed the other to Wen Chuyu.
"Come."
Wen Chuyu took the water from her hand and drank it down without hesitation.
Ji Jiuying sat on the ground, circulating her spiritual energy throughout her body, slowly recovering from the injuries caused by the heavenly punishment.
A day and a night passed just like that, with Wen Chuyu silently staying by her side, his icy blue eyes watching her quietly.
Until her eyelashes trembled a few times, her clear eyes slowly opened, and the glaring sunlight made her frown uncomfortably.
She glanced down at her clean and intact clothes, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Chuyu."
Wen Chuyu smiled slightly: "Since you are alright, I will take my leave now."
"Wait."
Ji Jiuying quickly stepped forward and came to Wen Chuyu's side.
"Chu Yu, there's something I want to ask you."
Wen Chuyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "What is it?"
Have you ever been to the Protoss?
"No, only envoys from the Nine Realms can go to the God Clan." Wen Chuyu added, "You want to inquire about Gong Mingyue's whereabouts?"
Ji Jiuying sighed softly and turned around: "He is one of them, and the other one is my father, Baili He."
"I want to know what kind of person he really is."
She had hinted to her mother before whether someone was worth her mother waiting for, but it seemed she was only interested in that cheap father.
Baili He is a god, while her mother is a mortal. The two are from completely different worlds. Although it is unknown why Baili He came to the Heavenly Realm before, if Baili He has feelings for her mother, why has she not come to find her for so many years?
Is it that they can't? Or that they don't want to?
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Chuyu's eyes. Xiao Jiu's father is a god?
"Xiao Jiu, wait for me for a while, I will bring you news about them."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying's eyes sparkled, leaving Wen Chuyu momentarily stunned.
"Alright, then thank you very much, Chuyu."
Wen Chuyu nodded and smiled, "I'm leaving."
"Chu Yu!"
Wen Chuyu paused when she heard the voice behind her.
"If you shield me from the heavenly punishment, what will happen to you?" Ji Jiuying asked worriedly, watching his retreating figure.
"Not very good!"
After saying that, Wen Chuyu disappeared into the Jiuhua Mountains. Above the clouds, Wen Chuyu finally turned around and looked at her one last time.
He should accept the punishment he deserves. He doesn't regret everything he did for her. Climbing up step by step was just so that one day, when she needs him, he can appear openly and honestly and be her eternal support.
Wen Chuyu's love for Ji Jiuying was restrained and patient. He didn't ask for much, only that she be safe and happy, that she could be with the one she loved, that she had someone to rely on, someone to protect her...
As soon as Ji Jiuying entered the space, before she could even stand still, she was swarmed by a group of people who hugged her tightly.
"Mother, why don't you let Xiaohuang'er come out?"
"You little brat, you really scared us to death."
"Exactly, I've been shouting myself hoarse."
"······"
Ji Jiuying looked completely bewildered: "You mean you can help me block the heavenly punishment?"
The group nodded vigorously.
Why didn't you say so sooner!
"I shouted until my throat was hoarse..."
"It's alright, just remember next time, next time."
"······"
