Hiss!
She withdrew her hand and found that blood was flowing from the wound on her fingers, dripping onto the dragon scales.
At that moment, the dragon scales glowed brightly.
The intense light enveloped the entire palace and enveloped her figure…
***
Not far away, Mu Yi swung his sword angrily.
Nan Xian staggered a bit, unable to defend himself from the attack anymore.
However, even so, he still did not retreat and had used his last strength to buy time for Feng Ruqing.
At the moment when the sword was about to pierce through him, a bright light suddenly appeared, making Mu Yi scream, and he hurriedly blocked his eyes.
***
The light engulfed Feng Ruqing’s figure and swallowed all of her sanity as well.
By the time she regained her senses, she had found herself standing on top of a mountain.
“Jiu’er…”
A familiar voice came from the side.
Feng Ruqing turned, and her gaze fell upon the young man next to her.
The young man had a smile on his stunning face, his silver hair was dazzling, and there was a silver line between his eyebrows.
Compared to the cold Nan Xian, the young man in front of her could be described as an immortal and also a demon.
Their beauty was incomparable.
“Nan… Changfeng?” Feng Ruqing tried to say his name, somewhat confused.
The young man froze; he seemed a little stunned. “What’s wrong with Jiu’er? You used to call me Changfeng. Why are you calling me by my name now? Is it because you’re not happy that I hurt the young master of Blazing Flame Sect yesterday?
“But that Blazing Flame Sect’s master insulted Jiu’er. He said that Jiu’er’s face was ugly, and that’s why she kept her mask on. Only we know how beautiful Jiu’er is.”
***
The young man’s voice was clear and pleasant to hear, making Feng Ruqing’s heart warm.
“No, it’s fine. No matter who you hurt, it doesn’t matter.”
The young man smiled.
His smile was so stunning.
“Jiu’er, when can we move out of Feng Mountain?”
‘Feng Mountain?
‘This name… Is somewhat familiar…’
“Why do you want to move out of Feng Mountain?”
“Because… I want to spend time alone with Jiu’er. I only need to prepare Jiu’er’s meals. If I’m on Feng Mountain, they would come around and try to grab the food when I prepare them, which I don’t really like.”
‘Because I just want to spend my life alone with Jiu’er…’
Feng Ruqing somewhat understood.
‘Feng Mountain that Nan Changfeng mentioned should be that place, right?’
Thinking of those girls dying tragically at the mountain gate, Feng Ruqing’s eyes darkened. Yet another tingling sensation reached her heart, making it a little difficult for her to breathe.
“Let’s go home first.”
She could not wait to see them.
She wanted to see them alive, not lying in that cold, icy coffin.
“Alright…”
The young man smiled and walked up to Feng Ruqing’s side; his smile was so bright. “Then, we’ll go back first.”
Feng Ruqing did not remember the way back, so she kept following the young man.
The young man was also a bit confused. ‘What’s wrong with Jiu’er?
‘Why does it feel… As if something is not quite the same…’
Fortunately, this place was near Feng Mountain. She froze, looking at the mountain gate in front of her. Suddenly, that bloody scene came back to her mind, making her heart ache.
She did not understand why she was here, but she knew that she could not change anything that had happened.
There was no way to reverse what had already happened.
“Ninth Emperor…”
