The cyan figure and the white figure exchanged a glance.
Yan Ruyu soared into the air.
The mountain wind whipped his sleeves, making them crackle.
Before they knew it,
a long jade flute had appeared in his hand.
Bu Ran?
Was he going to...?
He placed the jade flute against his lips as thin as cicada wings. The originally elegant figure, the aloof imperial tutor of a millennium, suddenly had a murderous glint in his eyes at this moment.
As the flute music started,
a menacing sound filled the air.
And the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon,
when had it ever witnessed such a grand battle?
The two people who suddenly appeared in front of it.
One was the founder of the Kyushu Continent, the very person who had personally suppressed it back then.
The other,
exuded an incredibly powerful aura. The bloodline faintly flowing within him unconsciously imposed a great intimidation on the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon.
These two peak powerhouses,
striking simultaneously.
How could the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon have any chance of escaping?
In just twenty rounds,
it became the prey under their blades.
As the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon crashed down, the entire hill seemed to tremble.
Yan Ruyu looked calm.
He watched the fallen dragon and waved his hands. The greenish - blue Pure Lotus Demonic Fire suddenly coiled around the entire body of the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon.
Even though the fierce beast was already dead,
it seemed that
Yan Ruyu had no intention of sparing it. He was so determined.
The power of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was passed down to them by their father. Although it wasn't his own natal red lotus, he could still wield it with ease.
Under the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire,
the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon was instantly incinerated into ashes.
From the ashes,
a purple - glowing qi pill emerged.
It was a qi pill!
Zhao Shuning was sure she wasn't mistaken.
It was really a rare sight.
Neither Luo Feiyan, Ye Ling, nor Zhao Shuning herself had ever witnessed the operation of taking a qi pill in person.
Firstly,
qi pills could only be bred by extremely powerful divine beasts. Trying to deal with a divine beast, kill it, and take its qi pill was simply a pipe dream, like a moth flying into a flame and courting death.
Secondly,
Zhao Shuning saw Bu Ran in such a menacing state for the first time.
At this moment,
he didn't seem like the savior full of soft light.
He was more like a blood - thirsty Asura from the eighteenth level of hell.
He walked towards Zhao Shuning step by step.
His expression
almost made Zhao Shuning cry out of fear.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Huai retracted his wings and blocked in front of Yan Ruyu.
"Xiaoning'er is injured. What do you want to do to her?"
Yan Ruyu's expression remained unchanged.
He directly pushed Zhao Huai aside and walked up to Zhao Shuning.
He squatted down.
He gently tended to Zhao Shuning's wounds, but his brows were knitted into a deep frown.
This Bu Ran,
still made Zhao Shuning a bit scared.
She tentatively spoke up.
"Um, Bu Ran—"
Yan Ruyu didn't respond to her.
He just lowered his head and continued to treat Zhao Shuning's wounds.
"Feng Bu Ran, Xiaoning'er is talking to you."
Zhao Shuning quickly looked at Zhao Huai and shook her head at him, signaling him not to say anything at this moment.
Bu Ran wasn't like this usually. He must be angry.
Seeing Zhao Shuning's look,
Zhao Huai's face also showed hurt.
He had no choice but to turn his head away.
"Xiaoning'er, I'll come to you later."
Leaving this sentence behind,
Zhao Huai spread his wings and left Wuyi Mountain.
He couldn't stay any longer. Staying here and seeing Xiaoning'er's attitude towards Feng Bu Ran made Zhao Huai's heart ache faintly.
But,
it wasn't the right time.
Xiaoning'er was already injured, and she hadn't accomplished what she wanted to do.
If he forced her to leave at this moment, she would surely hate him for the rest of her life.
However,
he had tried his best and it still took him such a long time to arrive after hearing the bone whistle.
How on earth did Feng Bu Ran manage to come so quickly?
After Zhao Huai left,
Yan Ruyu also finished treating Zhao Shuning's wounds.
Since Bu Ran had ignored her when she spoke earlier,
Zhao Shuning didn't dare to say anything anymore. She simply closed her mouth and looked at Feng Bu Ran pitifully.
If it were in the past,
after she had shown such flattery,
no matter how unhappy Bu Ran was, he would always smile at her.
But today,
he didn't.
Now,
he was as cold and unapproachable as when she first met him.
After treating the wounds,
Yan Ruyu picked Zhao Shuning up in his arms.
Lying on Bu Ran's chest,
hearing his strong and powerful heartbeat, Zhao Shuning became even more flustered.
"Bu Ran, your heartbeat is so fast."
Yan Ruyu suddenly stopped walking forward.
He put the qi pill left from the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's incineration of the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon into Zhao Shuning's hand.
"Eat it."
Eat it?
Zhao Shuning wanted to ask why, but when she saw Bu Ran's look, she was so scared that she swallowed it in one gulp.
"Bu Ran, you always thought that killing beasts to take their pills was something you hated extremely. Why did you do this today?" Not only did he kill the evil dragon and take its pill, but he also made her take it.
The power contained in this qi pill was extremely powerful.
"Bu Ran? Are you angry with me?"
"Please don't be angry, okay?"
"Look, I've been so obedient."
Zhao Shuning stretched out her hands, trying to put her arms around Feng Bu Ran's neck, but she forgot that her scapula had been pierced by the Ice - Armored Horned Demon Dragon. Just after it was bandaged, this movement made her grimace in pain.
Seeing Zhao Shuning like this,
Yan Ruyu finally spoke.
"Don't move."
"I won't move. But Bu Ran, please talk to me, okay? We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Even if you're angry with me, you can't sulk. It's not good for your health. Besides, if you're angry, you should tell me why so that I can avoid making the same mistake next time."
Zhao Shuning looked earnest.
She spoke very seriously.
Yan Ruyu's expression softened a bit.
However,
his tone didn't change much.
"If I tell you, you won't make the same mistake again?"
"Definitely not."
Zhao Shuning immediately raised three fingers of her right hand to swear.
"But I've told you before."
"Ah?"
"I'll ask you, what were you going to do before I came?"
Zhao Shuning suddenly realized.
She stammered and couldn't say a word.
How could she say it?
Say that since she was going to die anyway, she didn't want to let the evil dragon off easily, so she wanted to self - detonate and die together with it?
At this moment,
Zhao Shuning finally understood why Bu Ran was angry.
Facing those deep blue eyes,
Zhao Shuning's expression flickered uneasily.
She looked left and right,
but just didn't dare to look at Yan Ruyu.
"Ning'er, seeing it hurt you like this, I feel heartache."
Yan Ruyu's tone became much gentler.
Just hearing this,
Zhao Shuning's heart almost melted.
It was all her fault.
How could she make Bu Ran so worried?
"I'm wrong."
"There's one more thing."
Zhao Shuning quickly asked, "What else?"
"Before you got injured, you didn't call out my name."
"Ah—"
Zhao Shuning opened her mouth wide.
Did Bu Ran
mind this?
"I mind a great deal."
Yan Ruyu lowered his head and captured Zhao Shuning's cherry - like lips.
