C85 (1/2)

The light in Jiu Mu Li's eyes became sluggish after he was thrown to the ground, as she thoughtfully caressed her slightly swollen red lips, a strange look flashing across her eyes.

Regardless of her previous life or this life, she had always been brave and decisive. She never dragged her feet when doing things, and she would never say that she regretted it.

The light in Jiu Mu Li's eyes gradually dimmed.

She wanted to be a phoenix soaring over the nine heavens, but he wanted to break her wings.

”Miss, were you just drenched in the rain? Have some ginger soup to warm your body. ” Bai Qing walked over with a steaming bowl of thick yellow soup, and a smile hung on her round face.

Jiu Mu Li took the bowl of ginger soup and finished it in one gulp. The soup gradually warmed her originally cold body.

There were many people and objects waiting for her protection.

”Bai Qing, what do you think the purpose of this training is?” Her voice was barely audible as she murmured softly.

Bai Qing packed up the dishes, and after hearing that, she stopped for a moment, and then smiled slightly: ”The purpose of cultivation is to become stronger, and the ultimate goal is to protect the person you love.”

This was the first time they met, and the girl who was trembling like she was sieve chaff. At this moment, her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Jiu Mu Li glanced outside and saw the rain falling. She nodded slowly. She trained only for the sake of pursuing the path of the strong, standing at the peak of the world, fighting all enemies and protecting her loved one.

The word love was too extravagant for her.

So, Qin Zheng, I'm sorry.

The rain outside the window drizzled and thunder rumbled, just like Qin Zheng's state of mind, which was filled with torrential rain. When he returned to his own bedroom, Director Chen immediately welcomed him with a smile. However, the smile on his face froze in the next second.

Qin Zheng's expression was extremely terrible. His face was green, and his gaze was gloomy. Her lips were still stained with blood, but at this moment, he was pursing her lips tightly, showing his master's unwell mood.

Time continued to pass minute by second, Director Chen only felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles as he watched this scene. Needless to say, only the Ninth Miss was able to strongly affect his emotions.

”It's getting late, do you want to eat, Your Highness? This servant is preparing to go now. ” He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and found an excuse to slip away, trying to escape this calamity.

Qin Zheng's expression was terrifyingly sinister, his normally low and mellow voice had turned hoarse, ”Wait.”

Director Chen forced a smile and turned to face him, ”What orders do you have for me?”

The man looked at the lines on the table and muttered to himself for a long time. Finally, when the stiff smile on Director Chen could no longer remain on his face, he said slowly, ”Tell Nan Gong Xue Ji that he will start preparing for my Opening the Profound Vein tomorrow. This King cannot wait any longer. ”

His narrow and long eyes were like that of a falcon's, faintly flickering with a harsh light. Recently, the Astral Souls was getting more and more restless. With his own strength, he could no longer suppress the Astral Souls. However, this was not the main reason why he was in such a hurry to achieve his goals.

In fact, was it because he couldn't wait? Instead, it was the Herba Amaryllis that was located in the capital, like a ticking time bomb, that would suddenly explode next to Jiu Mu Li's body at any time.
