Ji Mingyu held the girl in his arms, caressing her soft and hot cheeks and kissing her red and swollen sweet lips again and again.
Finally, he couldn't help but lean over, picked up the girl and walked towards the bed.
Xi Yue's eyes were blurred, with a layer of mist floating on her bright and beautiful phoenix eyes. Her skin, as soft as mutton-fat jade, seemed to be stained with a thin layer of rouge, which made her already stunning face even more enchanting.
However, Ji Mingyu's action made her wake up suddenly, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to struggle, Ji Mingyu had already laid her gently on the bed. His slender and slightly cool fingertips gently brushed across her eyebrows, her nose, and her lips, and he murmured softly, "Xi'er, I finally found you!"
The identical face, the familiar tenderness, the affectionate and doting words, and the name that was unique to them, made Xi Yue feel dazed.
She reached out her hand and gently stroked the man's cool cheek, whispering, "Who... are you?"
Ji Mingyu looked at her deeply, "Who do you want me to be?"
"Yu?" Xi Yue's voice was hoarse and slightly choked with sobs, "Yu, is that you?"
Ji Mingyu's eyes flashed, and then he said without hesitation: "It's me."
As long as that's what you want, as long as it can keep you by my side, I'm willing to be anything for you.
Tears slowly filled Xi Yue's eyes and then slid down her cheeks. Ji Mingyu reached out to wipe them away, but the girl's tears were like beads that had broken off the string, increasing in number and could not be wiped away no matter what he did.
Finally, Xi Yue cried and threw herself into Ji Mingyu's arms, whimpering like a baby animal, feeling so wronged, so sad, and so eager for attachment. "Yu, do you know how long I have been looking for you? Do you know how much I miss you? Why don't you come to see me? Why can't I find you anywhere? Didn't you say that you would never abandon me and never be apart from me forever?"
Ji Mingyu felt as if his heart was being pierced by dense needles, causing him excruciating pain.
It was because I felt heartache and pity for the girl's sadness, but also because I knew that in her eyes, I was just another person.
But he still held the girl tightly in his arms, and said over and over again in a gentler voice than ever before: "Xi'er, don't cry, I won't leave you. Never!"
Even the nine gods and Buddhas will never be able to take you away from me!
Xi Yue was tired of crying and fell asleep in Ji Mingyu's arms.
Ji Mingyu held the girl's petite body in his arms, looking at her quietly and attentively for the entire night, without any change in his movements and without closing his eyes for even a moment.
At dawn, a woman in red suddenly appeared in the room.
She first glanced cautiously at the bed, and only when she saw the girl sleeping soundly in Ji Mingyu's arms did she heave a sigh of relief and bowed, "Master, Wu Nian just came back from the Divine Realm, and he said he had something important to report."
Ji Mingyu placed a soundproofing shield on the sleeping girl, then stood up and said calmly, "I understand."
Zhuque coughed lightly and said, "Master, are you going to take Miss Xi back to the temple?"
Ji Mingyu was silent for a moment, thinking of Xi Yue's amazing performance in the Spirit Refining Realm and her freedom in the Tianyi Valley. A gentle light flowed in his eyes.
Then he said calmly: "No need, let Qiongqi come here immediately."
"Ah?" Zhuque was stunned. "Master, why did you ask Qiongqi to come here?"
Wait, it can't be what she thought. (To be continued)
