"They are..."
Just as Bai Lisha was about to speak, Si Yu quickly covered her mouth: "They are Xiao Bai's new good friends, and also that guy's distant relatives."
"Yes, they are my new good friends. I'll bring them to meet Sister Hua another day."
Bai Lisha yanked the hand away from her mouth. Even if she was stupid, she should have understood what Si Yu meant. But could he please tell her in advance next time? Her face was turning red from his covering!
Hua Li looked at the two of them, feeling that they were hiding something from her. She only knew that the fiend had adopted a subordinate's daughter as his sister, but that was just adoption. She had never heard of the fiend having any relatives. She narrowed her eyes and said, "The fiend has distant relatives? You're not trying to fool me, are you?"
"No, no, I'm telling the truth," Shiraisha said earnestly.
Bai Lisha thought to herself, Xiao Jiu and that evil god are closer than relatives, so what she said doesn't seem to make any sense.
Seeing that they were unwilling to say more, Hua Li pursed her lips. Since they didn't want to talk, she didn't press them for details.
Yes or no, we'll know for sure when we meet her.

The Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
Wuxin, Longyang, and Ziyu looked at the strange phenomenon on Mount Jiuhua with joy on their faces.
"The poison that has tormented our master for so long is finally going to be cured today. It's truly a double blessing!" Wuxin said.
"Yes, the mistress is truly the master's savior."
Zi Yu sighed. When she heard Wu Xin say that the mistress had come out of the master's palace, she was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She even doubted whether her master had regained his memory. But when she learned from Wu Xin that he had not, she sighed again. This must be the power of love. Although her master had forgotten the mistress, he was still easily won over by her. From now on, she would become a fan of the mistress.
At this moment, Longyang asked doubtfully, "Wuxin, are you sure that Master brought the mistress to Mount Jiuhua?"
Wu Xin nodded. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he was 100% certain.
"First, once it was confirmed that the mistress had gone to the Demon Realm, the master guarded the Demon Realm's barrier for half a month. When he returned, he brought the mistress with him. And the one who could get close to the master and stay in his bedchamber was undoubtedly the mistress."
"Secondly, Si Yu went to the Demon Realm to find the Xuanbing Flower and was gone for three months. I have inquired and found that Si Yu returned with the mistress. The two of them must have obtained the Xuanbing Flower and refined the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Pill, which was the same wisp of divine-level pill fragrance just now."
"Third, the mistress and I did not leave the bedroom after we parted ways with Yingyue."
"Fourth, the return of the mistress, the divine fragrance of the elixir, and the strange phenomena in the sky all occurred simultaneously. You can figure out the rest yourselves."
Wu Xin explained, and Long Yang nodded as if he understood. He had been in the Heavenly Domain all along, so he didn't know much about Ji Jiuying and only knew what they told him.
"It's not surprising that Master has repeatedly set precedents for Mistress by taking her into Mount Jiuhua," Ziyu said with a smile.
"Yes, I hope that Master can successfully get rid of the poison. This poison has been in Master's body for so many years, causing Master's cultivation to stagnate for so long."
“After the detoxification, Master’s cultivation level should increase by one or even two realms!” Longyang said.
"·····"
——
On Mount Jiuhua.
Seeing the face contorted in pain, Ji Jiuying felt a pang of pain in her heart. The dark clouds in the sky churned continuously due to his power, and with the booming thunder, the entire sky resembled countless warhorses galloping, and the dark clouds instantly became murky and arrogant.
This state lasted for two days and two nights.
Ji Jiuying stayed by his side for two days and two nights without sleep. The moon was covered by dark clouds, and all around was pitch black. Coupled with the eerie atmosphere, anyone with a weak heart would probably have been scared to death long ago.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark clouds in the sky visibly dispersed, and the blood mist surrounding Gong Mingyue gradually disappeared, revealing his devilishly handsome face. His features were three-dimensional and distinct, and his entire being exuded an indescribable sharpness and majesty, with an innate aura of looking down on all living beings.
Upon seeing this, Ji Jiuying was overjoyed, but the divine-level barrier trapped her in place, preventing her from leaving.
Suddenly, the rich spiritual energy of Mount Jiuhua surged towards Gong Mingyue, which he quickly absorbed. An hour later, a few soft banging sounds caught her attention. Ah Yue had advanced!
Although there was a barrier, she could still feel the powerful aura surrounding him. She didn't know his current strength, but her intuition told her that it wouldn't be low.
Ji Jiuying waited quietly inside the barrier, but after an incense stick had burned, Gong Mingyue still showed no signs of waking up, and Ji Jiuying couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"A-Yue," Ji Jiuying called out, patting the transparent barrier.
But after several attempts, there was still no effect, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Just as she was about to go into the space to find a solution, Gong Mingyue, who was not far away, opened his eyes. The only difference was that there was a bit more obsession and effeminacy in his eyes, but Ji Jiuying was too worried to notice the difference.
"Ah Yue, you're awake."
Ji Jiuying beamed with joy as she patted the transparent barrier.
Gong Mingyue's dark eyes were unfathomable. He slowly stood up, the smile on his lips deepening. With a wave of his hand, the obstructive barrier vanished instantly.
Ji Jiuying quickly stepped forward and took his hand, examining it intently. She didn't notice that Gong Mingyue's eyes no longer held the cold and docile look from earlier in the day. Now, he was staring down at her, his devilishly handsome face radiating a wicked, sickly, and obsessive charm.
After a moment, Ji Jiuying released his hand, her face full of joy: "A-Yue, that's wonderful! You're so good now..."
When Ji Jiuying met his obsidian-like eyes, she was slightly taken aback. She couldn't say anything. She knew that he was A Yue whether it was day or night, but he always made her a little scared at night. He was easily angered and stubborn. If she angered him, he would definitely do something extreme.
Ji Jiuying tried her best to calm herself down and looked up at Gong Mingyue. A few strands of hair fell across her beautiful face, adding to her delicate and pitiful appearance.
His lips curled slightly upward, a smile that, though seemingly genuine, was as eerie and chilling as winter frost.
The cool hand slowly and deliberately tucked the strands of hair from her cheek behind her ear, then covered her small face, gently lifting it up, a profound and unfathomable smile filling the deep eyes.
"Why has Jiu'er stopped talking? How am I now?"
"Um?"
A cool and deep voice drifted into her ears.
Ji Jiuying's heart skipped a beat, but her face still showed a well-behaved and obedient look, making people want to hold her in their hands and cherish her.
