"Is pretty sister the object of brother Miyin's affection?"
With those words…
Jin Baoer almost lost her composure, her eyes widening slightly in surprise.
"What gave you that illusion?"
Long Lixing, within the immortal mansion, suddenly opened his eyes. Through Jin Baoer's eyes, his gaze, sharp and cold, fell upon the innocent and naive little boy before him… So children were truly detestable! Not him and his Baoer, of course.
Gong Jue Miyin was startled, nearly spitting out the tea in his mouth! His elegant demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a blush of shyness on his cheeks, his eyes darting towards the little boy…
'You little brat, so helpful!'
He selectively ignored what Jin Baoer had said, after all, they had only just met, and things should proceed slowly…
Hearing Jin Baoer's words, the little boy looked at her blankly, then suddenly seemed to remember something, appearing to have an epiphany. He offered words of comfort.
"Future sister-in-law, don't be afraid! That crazy woman is terrifying, but brother Miyin likes you, and he will definitely protect you!"
Jin Baoer's brow furrowed slightly, and she said earnestly,
"Crazy woman? You mean Gong Jue Xingchen? I haven't provoked her, and she has no relation to her brother… at most, we've met twice as friends! Are you afraid of her?"
As soon as she spoke, Fan Yin Ning Tian frowned with a hint of seriousness!
"It's not that I'm afraid, I just think she's particularly insane. Whenever there's a woman by brother Miyin's side, she becomes very frightening, even I..."
The way he spoke made Gong Jue Miyin pause slightly. It was the first time he had seen this precocious, impish boy display such an expression. Could it be that he hadn't noticed Xingchen's unusual behavior?
For the first time, he took this matter seriously, recalling those women who had only appeared before him once for the most part…
Jin Baoer was not interested in other people's family affairs. Hearing this, she fell silent, contemplating whether to investigate the Fan Yin family tonight. However, she could vaguely sense several presences in the shadows…
Were they some kind of hidden guards? Their cultivation was likely on the level of Heavenly Dao powerhouses. One or two would be manageable, but she felt at least ten or more, so a rash move would indeed be unwise.
"By the way, future sister-in-law, you mentioned Aunt Yingxue just now, didn't you? Do you want to find her? She won't be coming today."
Hearing this, Jin Baoer's heart tightened. She looked at the boy's innocent eyes.
"She's not coming? Do you know where she is? I just want to have a few words with her, I won't disturb her."
The little boy scratched his head at her words, looking somewhat troubled.
"It's not that you'd disturb her, but it's just that time of the month for her these past few days, and auntie is always in a bad mood. Talking to her might get you scolded."
That time of the month? Her eyes revealed confusion.
Gong Jue Miyin saw this and responded softly…
"It's the day that man left, isn't it? Counting the time, it's been over six hundred years this year… No wonder she's in a bad mood."
There was no need to guess which man he was referring to! Waiting for someone for over six hundred years, truly terrifying! If it were her, she probably… wouldn't do that!
Instead of waiting, she would scour the entire Upper Realm to find that person's whereabouts. She wouldn't wait in place for six hundred years!
The night deepened…
Jin Baoer had just drifted off to sleep when a sudden surge of energy erupted from within the immortal mansion! She snapped her eyes open, her mind completely clear, incredibly sharp! There was no hint of drowsiness! Her brow was tightly furrowed…
"Long Lixing?!"
The next second, she vanished from her bed!
As soon as she entered the immortal mansion, a furious gale arose, nearly blowing her away! Her black hair danced wildly in the wind, appearing disheveled.
However, as she looked at the epicenter of the surging power, her eyes flickered slightly…
Black and gold light completely enveloped him. faintly, his pale, pained face could be seen. His black robes billowed in the wind, and his handsome, formidable countenance was now etched with a chilling killing intent. Dense dragon's breath surged outwards, spreading throughout the entire immortal mansion…
Jin Baoer's expression tightened as she regained her senses! She didn't rush forward anxiously to check the situation!
A power surge? How could this happen?
After a moment, the violent energy gradually dissipated, and the fierce wind slowly calmed. The dark figure in the air suddenly landed!
Seeing this, Jin Baoer quickly extended her right hand, her spiritual energy fluctuating as she swiftly supported the man's body…
Outside the immortal mansion, the faint fluctuation that had been transmitted instantly alerted the man bathed in golden light, resplendent and beautiful, in the adjacent chamber! He, who was recovering his strength, suddenly opened his eyes and retracted the elf tree branches! It was thanks to Jin Baoer having the elf tree branches in her hand that he could use spiritual energy for a short period!
However… the corner of the man's perfect eyes tilted slightly, and his figure instantly appeared in Jin Baoer's room! Seeing the empty room, he was not surprised at all! A faint, knowing smile curved his lips.
Counting the time, it was about time for it to erupt! Such a show-off, he thought he would have erupted much earlier.
Within the immortal mansion, Jin Baoer quickly released her divine sense into Long Lixing's body, only to see an even more powerful surge of energy. Not only that, but the power actually entangled her divine sense, almost dragging her in as well!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly. The moment she sensed something was wrong, she fled! But what should she do now? Long Lixing was completely unconscious; she had never encountered this situation before! It seemed more like what was called going into Qi deviation?
"Stop thinking! Forcibly releasing your full dragon might before you've recovered, a power surge was bound to happen!"
A voice came from outside the immortal mansion. Jin Baoer looked up, and upon sensing the Elf King's presence, she instantly calmed down! In a blink of an eye, she exited the immortal mansion!
She looked at the distinguished man with golden hair and blue eyes with a rather solemn expression! His pale lips were a testament to his inner worry.
"How to recover?"
She didn't ask about the reason; she only wanted to know how to recover! Before this, she had never imagined that such a powerful man could be weak. In her subconscious, Long Lixing was mysterious, a man standing at the pinnacle of the entire world!
The Elf King smiled without speaking. His indifferent demeanor made Jin Baoer even more anxious, her thoughts in a turmoil! She stared at him with sharp eyes, finally saying impatiently,
"Speak! Why are you acting like a mute at a time like this!"
The man paused, looking at the woman before him, so different from her usual cold and ruthless demeanor, with surprise! It was the first time he had seen her so persistent and irritable.
"I can tell you the method… but there's no such thing as a no-cost transaction in this world, is there? Besides, that black dragon and I are mortal enemies. If he dies, I naturally wouldn't care. Saving him requires too much power, and I can't just waste my emotions for nothing, can I?"
That irritating expression, casual tone, languid posture, and avaricious words! Jin Baoer was so angry she wanted to punch him on the spot!
A moment later, she took a deep breath! A white light flashed in her right hand! A tender green branch appeared in her hand, exuding a rich aura of life!
