Qianbei Ye pulled Gu Ruoyun back into his arms once again, the forcefulness in his embrace was as if he was truly terrified that the girl in his arms would leave him.
I don"t want to suffer that kind of agony a second time!
"Yun"er, I"m sorry."
Please allow me to be selfish just this once. I only want you to stay.
In a corner, Yan widened his eyes as he watched the man and woman in an embrace. A peculiar light flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, Qianbei Ye seemed to remember that there was still another little creature residing in the Ancient Divine PaG.o.da. His crimson eyes darkened and his red lips gently moved as he spat, "Get out!"
Boom!
Following that, a powerful force crashed into Yan"s head and sent him flying away.
Yan felt wronged. I reckon that the King would only ever display such gentleness in front of Master. When it comes to anyone else, he was simply too fierce. He had scared me so badly that my tiny heart is now in disarray.
Besides, I wasn"t really doing anything. It was the King himself who had wanted to come to the Ancient Divine PaG.o.da and be intimate with Master. What does this have to do with me?
It"s really none of his business!
Back then, when Qianbei Ye had no memory of Yan"s existence, he would never have lashed out at him. Now, he has found out that Yan, as a member of the animal race, had surrendered to Gu Ruoyun but had not followed her orders. As a result, he had nearly caused her to lose her life in the Xia family home back in Heaven City. Whenever Qianbei Ye thought of this, his chest would light up with a burning flame.
Had Yan not voluntarily signed a bond of slavery contract with Gu Ruoyun, Qianbei Ye would have taken his life!
"I"ll leave, I"m leaving now."
Realizing that Qianbei Ye still wanted to make a move, Yan jumped in fright and disappeared in a whoosh, afraid that if he was one step slower, not even his dregs would be spared.
A demon should not be provoked!
Especially this one whose face was changing faster than its changing colors! He was clearly speaking to the woman in his arms in a soft and gentle voice but in the blink of an eye, he would kill another living thing right next to him!
So, it was safer to leave the Ancient Divine PaG.o.da right away...
"Ah, right. Yun"er, if you want Zixie to hatch a little faster, there"s a way."
"What is it?"
Gu Ruoyun was immediately filled with joy. She hurriedly pushed herself out of Qianbei Ye"s embrace and asked.
Seeing how much she cared for Zixie, the vat of jealous vinegar in Qianbei Ye"s heart immediately tipped over. Nevertheless, he replied, "The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal can help you speed up the hatching process of a phoenix egg."
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun"s body immediately disappeared from the Ancient Divine PaG.o.da and hurriedly went in search for Master Dongfang, desperate for news of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal.
"The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal?" Master Dongfang was astonished, "I"ve heard that there"s a small piece of it in the Amethyst Underworld Palace. What would you need that Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal for?"
Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and said, "I want to save a friend. Now, I must leave the Dongfang family for a bit. I"ll return once I"ve obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal."
"What, your"re leaving?"
Lan Yuge, who was next to him, was filled with reluctance, "You"ve only just returned and now you want to leave again. Is it that urgent?"
Gu Ruoyun gently nodded. Her eyes were full of seriousness as she replied, "Mmm, he"s a very important friend to me and had become seriously injured for my sake. Hence, I must help him. For without him, I would not be where I am today."
"Alright."
Lan Yuge nodded and sighed, "Please remain safe in everything you do."
Once she finished speaking, Gu Ruoyun took one last look at Lan Yuge and Master Dongfang before walking out the door.
