However…
Feng Ruqing was facing people from all sides.
Xiao Ya only blocked one side for her, but there were three more sides.
Powerful forces converged and came crashing down on Feng Ruqing’s body.
She spurted a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
“Little Nine!”
A heart-rending scream came from the sky.
Feng Ruqing saw a black dragon flying through the sky and coming toward her in her blurred vision.
The black dragon took the form of a young man in mid-air. He was dressed in black, with a face full of anger, filling the entire sky with his fierce aura.
The crowd was stunned and looked at the young man in dismay, their eyes carrying shock.
“This dragon… Is made of surrounding spiritual qi?”
‘Only the creatures from the surrounding spiritual qi can do so!’
The young man’s eyes were fixed upon Feng Ruqing…
From the time the blood gushed out until the woman’s figure gradually fell to the ground…
Everything was suddenly moving in slow-motion in his eyes.
The young man rushed toward Feng Ruqing and caught her body before it hit the ground.
His voice was trembling, and his heart almost stopped beating.
“Little Nine, I should not have left you because of that wild man. I should have stayed by your side. Please do not scare me… I was wrong. I will never leave you again. You abandoned me a thousand years ago, and you still want to abandon me now?
“Little Nine, I rushed back after I heard the attack in General Manor, but I still did not arrive in time. Please, do not leave me. I do not want to wait for you alone again…”
The young man hugged Feng Ruqing tightly so that she would not feel cold.
Xiao Ya froze and looked at the woman in the young man’s arms. A strong resentment and anger rose from the bottom of her heart.
‘Why…
‘In the previous life, those moralistic people had not spared the Ninth Emperor.
‘Now, these people still won’t let her go!
‘The Ninth Emperor had never done anything wrong.’
Once, those who liked her treated her like a god, and those who disliked her called her a devil…
However, now, these people wanted to take her daughter and hurt her just for selfish reasons.
“Ahhhhh!”
Xiao Ya held her head tightly, and endless anger surged out, turning her eyes red…
***
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by.
The girl in the young man’s arms was pulled away by someone and wrapped into those arms.
Big Black looked up and met a cold face.
He was so cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He looked at the woman lying calmly in his arms with a sword pierced into her chest, soaking with blood.
He had promised to protect her for the rest of his life.
But in the end, he still got her hurt…
“Master…”
Qing Zhu poked its head out of his sleeve. It almost cried after seeing the lifeless Feng Ruqing. “Princess won’t die… She won’t die. People always said that evil men would live a thousand years. This kind of evil person who always bullies snakes won’t die so easily.”
