“Take it!” Sikong Xing shouted. Obeying her command, the countless ice arrows flashing with tiny thunderbolts immediately rushed towards Chu Tianfeng’s large red lotus flames. Qin Xiumo’s natal long sword swooped in front, slashing its sword aura left and right, opening a path for Sikong Xing’s ice arrows.

Su Junmo raised his eyebrows, feeling his fighting spirit aroused by his allies. “I command…” Su Junmo drew a huge cross in the air. As his fingers moved, slight crackling sounds followed. “…cut them!” Su Junmo finished his spell, and countless willow leaves appeared midair, cutting from all directions like small daggers.

Su Junmo came in a hurry, and there was a bit of anxiety on his face. Worthy of its infamy, the Starfallen Sea was indeed full of dangers. Their team members were the best among the younger generation in the Three Thousand Worlds, and they were also experienced enough to quickly cooperate in attacking and defending. Still, the group had experienced two fights when they had just barely stepped into the edge of the Starfallen Sea, leaving three among them injured.

Meng Qi was totally stupefied, but the white-robed man’s eyes were clear, and his mind couldn’t be clearer still.

Meng Qi stayed unmoved for a long time, but Yun Qingyan suddenly took a step forward. His hand raised up to pinch Meng Qi’s slender jaw.

Meng Qi instantly forgot all the things that were troubling her mind. She dashed to the edge of the pond at the fastest speed and looked toward the swarm of lotuses. Because she still couldn’t use her aura, Meng Qi could only stretch her neck further to look at the lotuses from a distance, murmuring in excitement, “Zilan lotus by itself cannot be used as medicine. I heard that it blooms every ten years and takes another ten years to produce a pod. After another ten years, the seeds in the pod matured, which have the effect of curing every fire and flame poison in the world.”

Meng Qi smiled brightly: “Sovereign Qingyan, my medical cultivation level has advanced to the second realm of the fourth rank!”

Yun Qingyan: “…”

“My Heart-clearing spell has also reached the peak of the fifth realm!” Meng Qi said again.

Yun Qingyan: “…”

Meng Qi slept for a long time. When she woke up again, the pain in her body was slightly better, but she still felt very weak and lethargic. She then dived into her spiritual sea. Her spiritual sea was still dry, but the cracks seemed less than before. Above the sea, strands of aura from the bamboo slip were still wrapped around the Five Spirits Cauldron, and the revolving inner core next to them looked a bit brighter now.

Despite feeling very tired, Meng Qi knew that she was recuperating. Her eyelids were still very heavy, but at least she could open them now, albeit with much effort.

Yun Qingyan had witnessed Meng Qi’s stubbornness and tenacity first-hand, and knew that once she made up her mind, she would stick with it to the end, no matter the consequences.

But why? Why did she even sacrifice herself to save him?!

Meng Qi: “???”

Meng Qi: “!!!”

Meng Qi didn’t know how long she had been dazed. Her breathing was chaotic, and her mind went totally blank. It was as if her consciousness had been completely detached from her body and was now floating on cloud nine. Meng Qi didn’t know when she returned to her sense. As if dreaming, her mind was floating up and down in the wind.

“Ugh—” Meng Qi groaned. Her back hit the floor, but something soft gently supported her body, making the fall did not hurt much. However, Yun Qingyan’s hand was holding her so tightly on the shoulder that it was painful.

Meng Qi opened her eyes and stared into the figure of the handsome man, whose reflection fell into her pair of brilliant eyes. It was a pity that Yun Qingyan’s eyes were still blood-red, making Meng Qi unable to see her own reflection there. But even if she couldn’t see it, Meng Qi still knew that their current pose was a bit ambiguous.

“Sovereign Qingyan.” Meng Qi carefully took every step until she finally arrived at the white-robed man. The vision of the five elements looked overwhelming, but they only affected Yun Qingyan and had no effect on her. It was the pressing aura that Yun Qingyan subconsciously released to protect himself that had a greater impact on Meng Qi.

Meng Qi was holding her silver knife in her hand. She then shoved all nine Beiming Pills and used a small wisp of spiritual aura to envelop each individual pill. This way, she could control when to consume the pills and turn them into her own use.
