The scene before Ye Ming was a blur of white, which left him staring.
The so-called depiction of a beauty emerging from her bath must have been meant for this very moment!
"Mmm!"
Ji Hongying, who had been walking and drying her hair, paused her steps, seemingly sensing two intrusive gazes fixed upon her.
She suddenly looked forward, shielding the most beautiful scenery in the world with her bath towel. Her eyes, sharp with killing intent.
The previously hazy, ambiguous, and intimate air instantly turned cold.
Someone had intruded into her private space.
Just as she was about to circulate her qi, she saw the figure on the sofa, exuding a relaxed smile. Her taut nerves instantly relaxed.
"You… When did you get here?"
She walked barefoot, her pace clearly accelerating.
During this time, whether it was due to Ji Hongying's hasty steps or not, a gap suddenly appeared in the bath towel wrapped around her graceful body, once again exposing a glimpse of "snow mountain" scenery to the air.
Fortunately, it wasn't the full panorama of the snow mountain.
Otherwise, Ye Ming would truly get lost in the snow mountain.
"Cough! I… I just arrived!" Ye Ming dared not look directly at Ji Hongying, his gaze somewhat evasive.
"Oh! Really?"
Seeing this, Ji Hongying's red lips curved upwards slightly, and her pair of cunning eyes constantly scanned Ye Ming, as if she had discovered something amusing.
She gracefully walked over to Ye Ming, but instead of sitting beside him, she naturally settled onto his lap.
Her jade hands then naturally encircled his neck, and she leaned forward slightly, her breath warming his ear, "But why don't you dare to look at me?"
Feeling the sudden elastic pressure and the undue weight on his thighs, Ye Ming's breathing intensified.
"Why… why don't you get down first and we talk about business!"
If this continued, Ye Ming feared that the flames of war that had subsided with Nangong Qianyu might reignite here.
"Business!"
Upon hearing this word, Ji Hongying chose to let Ye Ming off the hook. "I'll let you off the hook today, sister. You won't be so lucky next time!"
She then reluctantly stood up and sat beside Ye Ming.
"Whoosh!"
Feeling the pressure disappear, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had also reached his limit.
"What's the specific situation?" Ye Ming asked, calming his emotions and looking at Ji Hongying.
"I'm not sure!" Ji Hongying shook her head, but she revealed a detail. "However, from Lin Fengxuan's tone today, I detected a hint of urgency. This is something I've never heard from him during our past conversations."
Urgency?
Could it be that after witnessing his strength, Lin Fengxuan felt a sense of danger?
"Then what are you planning to do?" Ye Ming asked after a moment of thought.
After all, Ji Hongying intended to handle her grievances with Lin Fengxuan herself. Thus, Ye Ming chose to respect her decision.
Otherwise, why would he have let Lin Fengxuan go before?
"I plan to go confront him!" Ji Hongying answered without hesitation.
Clearly, she had already made up her mind before this.
Looking at Ji Hongying's determined gaze, Ye Ming knew that she was also a woman who possessed an unyielding spirit in her bones.
However, some things still needed to be told to Ji Hongying, to prepare her mentally.
After all, the current Lin Fengxuan controlled two puppets.
One was Lin Cangfang, who possessed the strength of an early-stage Martial King. The other was the Left Guardian of the Dragon Gate, possessing the strength of a late-stage Martial King.
Therefore, for Ji Hongying to deal with Lin Fengxuan on her own would not be a simple matter.
When Ye Ming told Ji Hongying about what had happened before, she fell into silence.
Lin Fengxuan's methods had somewhat exceeded Ji Hongying's expectations.
"Hongying, actually you..."
"I know what you're going to say!"
Just as Ye Ming began to speak, Ji Hongying suddenly interrupted him. "I know that with your strength, someone like Lin Fengxuan wouldn't even catch your eye." She gently leaned her head on Ye Ming's shoulder and said softly, "I also know that it's because of me that you didn't eliminate Lin Fengxuan before, right!"
Hearing this, Ye Ming remained silent, implicitly agreeing.
Just as Ji Hongying had said, when Ye Ming saw Lin Fengxuan controlling the Left Guardian of the Dragon Gate, he had indeed considered eliminating him.
Although, from the current perspective, Lin Fengxuan's strength posed no threat to him, leaving him alive would undoubtedly be a hidden danger in his future plans.
Furthermore, after Ye Ming killed Lin Zifeng, he had already forged an irreconcilable enmity with Lin Fengxuan.
Therefore, from any angle, eliminating Lin Fengxuan would be immensely beneficial to Ye Ming with no downsides.
However, in the end, the reason he didn't act was still because of Ji Hongying.
To Ji Hongying, Lin Fengxuan was undoubtedly her inner demon. Only by breaking it herself could she advance smoothly and unimpeded on her path of immortal cultivation in the future.
"One month!"
At this moment, Ji Hongying suddenly stated a time limit.
"What one month?" Ye Ming was confused.
Ji Hongying straightened up, her expression serious. "If I can't resolve my grievance with Lin Fengxuan within a month, then you can take action!" Her gaze then softened. "At that time, I'll be content to be the woman behind you, alright?"
The woman behind him!
This statement undoubtedly conveyed Ji Hongying's attitude.
I won't fight for it! I won't snatch it!
As long as I can quietly stand behind you, that's enough!
"Okay!" Ye Ming pulled her into his embrace and responded softly.
"By then, I'll give myself to you completely!" Ji Hongying lay in his arms, enjoying this moment of peace.
...
When Ye Ming left Zui Hongchen, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"Shadow Guard!" Ye Ming addressed the air.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a black figure appeared before Ye Ming. He knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Divine Lord, what are your orders?"
"Protect her in secret, don't let her discover you!" Ye Ming's tone was grave as he gazed at the night sky. Kuaishu.com
He certainly couldn't rest assured that Ji Hongying would face Lin Fengxuan alone.
"Yes!"
Then, the black figure vanished from its spot.
...
Returning to the Ziyun Mountain villa, as usual, at this time, all the women had begun their cultivation, not a single one slacking off.
Seeing this, Ye Ming also displayed a gratified smile.
In the living room, Ye Ming observed the progress of the women's cultivation through his senses.
Of course, the recently joined Xu Fei was also among them.
Without any surprise, Fang Junxue was naturally the fastest. As one of the "Spirits," she indeed possessed a unique innate advantage.
The other women did not show any significant gaps among themselves.
However, compared to ordinary people, they were still much faster.
After all, they were using "Xi Chen Sui" (Soul Cleansing Marrow), not "Xi Chen Ye" (Soul Cleansing Liquid, also known as Health Preserving Liquid).
At this moment, within Ye Ming's perception, Nangong Qianyu suddenly stopped her cultivation.
She stood up, pacing back and forth in her room, and occasionally glancing towards the door, her small face slightly flushed.
Wondering what she was thinking!
Upon seeing this, Ye Ming was initially stunned, then suddenly understood something, and a wicked smile curved his lips:
"It seems tonight will be a battle!"
