The moment he saw the approaching person, his body slightly stiffened, and touched Jiu Mu Li's palm.

”Qin Zheng?”

Jiu Mu Li cried out in shock. She stared widely to confirm that she was not mistaken.

The person who had come was without a doubt Qin Zheng. He was extremely handsome, had a peerless expert's aura, and even his expression was ice-cold and overbearing.

Compared to when he was in the Hall of Clearing, his expression was even colder.

Her pair of deep eyes that were like a black hole were surging with a tyrannical emotion. Her gaze was fixated on the spot where she was in contact with the man. Damn it, how could they be so intimate!

When Jiu Mu Li fainted, she fell into the youth's embrace, her head resting on his long legs, while the youth used his large hands to support her, protecting her in his embrace. This scene, in Qin Zheng's eyes, had a completely different meaning, causing his expression to darken at a visible rate.

He stepped on the fallen leaves and withered flowers beneath his feet and walked towards the two of them, one step at a time.

With every step, a light cracking sound was emitted, as though it was stepping on Jiu Mu Li's heart.

She frowned in confusion. Could it be that she was hallucinating because the needling was too weak? That would be too real.

~ Shouldn't Qin Zheng and Nan Gong Xue Ji be bathing together in the mandarin duck bath right now? Why did it appear here and now?

A flood of questions came to her, and she lay down again, her eyelids drooping.

Maybe it really was just an illusion.

When Qin Zheng walked closer, he looked down at the two of them condescendingly, but if one looked closely, they would realize that his gaze was always locked on the young man.

The young man lightly pursed his lips and didn't even look at him.

They looked at each other without saying anything. The world was so silent that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

After a long period of awkward silence, Jiu Mu Li finally regained her senses. She slowly opened her eyes, and upon seeing Qin Zheng's familiar ice face, she jumped in shock, almost jumping up and asking, ”Shouldn't you be opening the profound veins with you, Nan Gong Xue Ji?”

After mentioning Nan Gong Xue Ji, Qin Zheng's expression darkened even further, it was as cold as snow that would never melt even after a thousand years on Mount Chang Bai.

Seeing his ice-cold expression, Jiu Mu Li was speechless, but in his heart, a burst of flames lit up. Yo, you're trying to put on airs for her? Sorry, she wouldn't coax him like those lackeys!

She closed her eyes, turned a blind eye to Qin Zheng, and smiled at the young man: ”Are you alright? Are you feeling all right?”

The youth slightly nodded under her concerned gaze.

It felt good to be out of my infancy.

Jiu Mu Li rolled her eyes in annoyance. What kind of evil did she do in her previous life, why was it that the people she met in her current life were either weirdos like Nan Gong Xue Ji or a thousand-year-old ice mountain like Qin Zheng …
