Heaven-defying Phoenix

At this moment, the silver needles on his body had been forced out of his body. He had already turned into a twenty-five or twenty-six year old youth.    

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

This ice-cold voice sounded somewhat familiar?    

The exhausted Jiu Muli thought drowsily, her eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand kilograms, drooping without end. She struggled to open her eyes. Her long eyelashes reflected the dark pupils of the tall figure.    

"Qin Zheng?"    

That bastard?    

Jiu Muli cried out in shock. He stared widely to confirm that he 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 Muli fainted, he fell into the youth's embrace, his 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 Muli'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 Nangong Xueji 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 Muli finally regained her senses. She slowly opened her eyes, and upon seeing Qin Zheng's familiar ice face, she jumped in fright, almost jumping up and asking, "Aren't you supposed to be opening the profound vein s with you, Nangong Xueji?"    

After mentioning Nangong Xueji, 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 Muli 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 Muli rolled her eyes in annoyance. What kind of evil did she do in her previous life, why did the people she met in her current life were either weirdos like Nangong Xueji or a thousand-year-old ice mountain like Qin Zheng …    

She was the only one left to blabber on. It was awkward, wasn't it?    

She weakly supported her forehead as she slowly stood up and greeted the young man, "Then, I'll go back first."    

She picked up the silver needles and put them back into her medical bag before standing up shakily with the bag in her hand. Perhaps because she had squatted for too long, both her legs went numb and her vision went dark. She was about to stumble and fall to the ground.    

The sky was spinning and the earth was spinning. She was crying in her heart.    

The two men at the scene moved at the same time and rushed to where she was.    

But Qin Zheng was one step faster. He stretched out his arm and took the soft body back into his bosom. With a reproachful expression in his eyes, he said, "My body is already so weak, what can I do?"    

Jiu Muli was caught off guard as she fell into his embrace, supporting herself against his firm chest as she stood up with a cold expression on her beautiful face.    

She coldly sneered and said sarcastically, "What does it matter to you? You should still take care of your Lady Nangong. "    

A hint of anger flashed past Qin Zheng's eyes, he glared at her fiercely, and without hesitation, he immediately and decisively picked her up. The girl in his arms was thinner than he had expected. She was as light as a butterfly and would fly away in the next second. This thought allowed him to hold her hand and increase his strength a little bit.    

Jiu Muli's delicate and delicate lips suddenly opened wide as she forcefully suppressed the urge to shout, and heavily smashed a fist on his shoulder.    

"Put me down!" Her face did not look good, her hands did not stop moving, and she struck him a few more times, but Qin Zheng's face seemed to be even uglier than hers.    

To him, a fist without a spiritual energy, was as easy as scratching an itch. Moreover, Jiu Muli was currently in a state of extreme weakness, and her delicate fists were exceptionally weak, soft like a ball of cotton.    

When he thought about such a soft and tender body, that had previously been touched by another man, Qin Zheng's face immediately darkened, and he became as black as ink.    

The dangerous aura that the man was emitting caused Jiu Muli to temporarily shut his mouth.    

However, she continued to struggle restlessly. She tried to jump down from the man's embrace, but he easily bound her body, forcing her to be unable to move.    

Damn it! What's the point of hugging a princess? Slap her and give her a sweet date? Furthermore, there were people watching them!    

Her struggles were pitifully insignificant to Yu Qinzheng, but her reaction of not wanting to stay a second longer completely infuriated him.    

"Don't force me." He gnashed his teeth and spat out those words. The vicious aura surrounding his body was so strong that it couldn't be more powerful. A violent storm was brewing.    

Jiu Muli was a little flustered in that moment. If she were to continue fighting with all her might, what kind of side would Qin Zheng be on?    

She was curious. However, a wise man knows his place. Seeing the four words that were clearly written on Qin Zheng's face, — I am very unhappy, so she could only temporarily shut her mouth.    

Qin Zheng hugged her but he still walked as if he was alone. In the blink of an eye, he had already left the Gongquan and disappeared at the end of the long hallway.    

Behind him, two gloomy gazes stared at the backs of the man and woman as they left.    

The youth's eyes were deep and serene as he watched, but he did not say a word.    

No one noticed that ever since Qin Zheng had arrived, he had not spoken another word.
