‘Qing'er, trust me, okay?'

Feng Ruqing's voice was stuck in her throat for a moment before she said, “Alright.”

She believed him.

Nan Xian would fulfill anything that he had promised her.

“Nan Xian…” Feng Ruqing lifted her hand and grabbed Nan Xian's lapel. “Don't force yourself if you can't fight it and run when you should. If you dare to die in a place like this, I'll throw your body to Jiu Ming and he will do whatever he wants with you.”

Nan Xian was speechless.

“One more thing. I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the boundary, and you must come to me! If you don't come, I'll really throw you to Jiu Ming. That man is a pervert, and he even has lots of dirty thoughts about you.”

Nan Xian lifted his hand and pulled that girl into his embrace.

“Don't worry, how could I ever leave you?”

Yes. How could he ever leave her?

Several thousand years ago, Nan Changfeng had died in the Ninth Emperor's arms, but the boy was never afraid of anything.

He was not afraid of death…

He was only afraid that once he died, he would never see her again.

How could he leave her alone in this world?

No, that was not right. The Ninth Emperor was never alone as she had had countless women in her harem. But Nan Changfeng had always felt that once he left this world, the Ninth Emperor would be lonely.

There was no difference now.

He would live a full life for her sake.

“Alright.”

Feng Ruqing's voice trembled a bit as she left Nan Xian's embrace.

Emperor Xuan Yuan panicked. “Take me with you. I want to leave this place, too. I'm afraid…”

No one answered him.

Feng Ruqing had sent Fu Chen and Qing Han to the medium.

They could not help much with their strength, and having them here would only drag Nan Xian down.

Fu Chen always thought that he had become strong after he had woken up and was not expecting that he would be a burden to anyone.

However, facing such a powerful beast, he could not do anything but leave this place with Feng Ruqing.

Nan Xian would never let them stay.

He did not know if there was still any danger inside. Fu Chen had to follow Feng Ruqing so he could face this fierce beast peacefully.

Pop!

The barrier was completely shattered into pieces. Initially, that barrier was invisible to people, and only that savage could sense the barrier's existence.

But once it shattered, the pieces changed into countless rays of light and dissipated into the air.

As the beast rushed forward, Feng Ruqing only felt that her whole body had loosened up. She then transformed into a sharp sword and flew away swiftly, gradually disappearing from Nan Xian's eyes…

Nan Xian was at ease now. His white robe floated with the wind as he stood, staring at the beast with his cold gaze.

The beast could not catch Feng Ruqing anymore, so it took all its anger out on Nan Xian, and with a furious roar, the huge mountain-like figure rushed over to him.

The whole sky darkened as if there were black clouds overhead, making the surrounding seem gloomy.

A short distance away, Feng Ruqing fell throughout the void, landing safely in a pile of messy gra.s.s.

She stood up and clenched her fists tightly as she looked back in the direction from where she had flown a moment ago before slowly retracting her gaze.

“Mother…”

Fu Chen's soothing voice came from the medium. “Father is so powerful, so you don't have to worry. He will definitely come back for you. He will return!”
