Upon arriving at Ziyun Bank, Jin Yue felt right at home and made no attempt to be polite, eating and drinking to her heart's content. After finishing her meal, she even took a short rest.
She leaned back, her head resting against the back of the chair, and fell fast asleep.
He looked extremely tired.
Chen An left, saying he had other matters to attend to at the money shop.
Only Xie Feng and Jin Yue remained in the room.
Xie Feng had been letting Jin Yue eat to her heart's content to replenish her energy, while he merely watched. Now that Jin Yue had finished eating, he finally picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly and leisurely, sipping his tea.
Jin Yue only ate donkey meat; there were many other dishes on the table that she hadn't touched.
After sipping both cups of tea, Jin Yue's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she wasn't smiling, her expression was icy and intimidating.
Seeing Xie Feng put down his teacup, Jin Yue looked at him and said, "Was I asleep just now? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Xie Feng said, "I saw you looked tired, so I didn't want to bother you any further."
Jin Yue smiled faintly.
Xie Feng casually asked, "Have you decided where to go next?"
Jin Yue sighed softly. She frowned, rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to take Xiangxiang with me!"
"Go? Go where?"
"Leave the Fifth Universe, and then... go anywhere!"
"Why?"
"If I stay here, I'll only be a burden to you. Xiangxiang is my biggest weakness; she's my brother's child, and she's so young! I don't trust anyone else with her! Peak of Heaven will use her to threaten me. As long as I keep her by my side, everything will be fine!"
Jin Yue clenched her fist, revealing her deep helplessness and anger, yet she had no choice but to submit to such humiliation due to Peak of Heaven's domineering nature.
Xie Feng asked casually, "Is it enough to just keep it with me? Is that so? Then how did Xiangxiang come to the Origin Realm and how did she meet me?"
"I..."
Jin Yue was speechless and lowered her head.
Xiangxiang was indeed with her at the time, but because she was unable to protect Xiangxiang and break through the encirclement of the pursuers, she had no choice but to send her to another place for refuge alone!
These words hit the nail on the head, leaving her Wordless.
Xie Feng glanced at her. "We can't just hide and run away forever, can we?"
Jin Yue Wordless.
Xie Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seemingly deep in thought.
The space was extremely quiet, Jin Yue felt a little uneasy. She could even feel her heart pounding so loudly in the room that it was deafening.
Xie Feng sneered, " Peak of Heaven... what's there to be afraid of? I happen to have business there. Miss Jin Yue, you don't need to hide for a while. Just stay openly in Returning Moon City. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll have them beaten up!"
Hearing this, Jin Yue smiled and said sincerely, "Young Master Xie, I am already extremely grateful for your help in taking care of Xiangxiang until now. As for the rest... please don't get involved in this mess. The influence of Peak of Heaven... sigh, I know you are kind-hearted, but I really don't want you to be targeted by Peak of Heaven! After all, you are innocent, and innocent people shouldn't be dragged into this. Otherwise, my conscience will not be at peace!"
Xie Feng laughed too, "I'm not joking!"
Jin Yue pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat skeptical. After a moment, she said, "Anyway, thank you."
"Back in the Origin Realm, Xiangxiang helped me a lot. She was a good comrade-in-arms who fought alongside me. I just wanted to return the favor."
"A lot of girls would admire someone like you, right?"
"Not many, just one."
"I can tell from your smile that you've found someone you love. What a lucky girl to have met someone as wonderful as you. What's her name?"
Jin Yue exclaimed in genuine admiration.
She is usually very quiet and rarely shows any emotion. It was only because Xie Feng took care of Xiangxiang three years that she regarded Xie Feng as her benefactor and was willing to take the initiative to understand him.
Xie Feng laughed and said, "Her name is Sushang, and she's an Alchemist. Xiangxiang has taken quite a few pills made by her."
Jin Yue smiled and said, "It seems I owe not only you a favor, but also Miss Sushang. When you have time, take me to visit her."
Xie Feng nodded. "Definitely!"
The two chatted for a while longer. Jin Yue said she missed Xiangxiang and wanted to Returning Moon City to see the girl. Xie Feng agreed and also wanted to Returning Moon City to see if anything unexpected had happened.
Returning Moon City.
A completely silent night.
A figure emerged from the distant celestial traces, walking step by step towards Returning Moon City. The wind raged and the space trembled with waves of unsettling danger.
This person is Ye Zheng!
Lord of the Spirit Martyrdom City!
He came alone, exuding a terrifying aura. He gazed at the majestic Returning Moon City in the darkness, with a bright moon hanging high above the city walls.
" Xie Feng, you've killed so many of my people. Now, I'll make you taste the bitterness of loss! You care so much about Returning Moon City, so much about that little girl? Today I'll destroy all of that! Ha... hahaha..."
His eyes were contorted with rage, and he let out a sigh-like, angry laugh.
He raised his palm, and a gust of wind swept through, whipping his wild hair, like a lion emerging from the darkness.
Ye Zheng unleashed a punch, the energy of which surged wildly, but before it even reached Returning Moon City, it was blocked by an invisible wave of energy!
In the sky, ten stars align with the moon, making the stars and moon appear as one!
The grand formation has activated its defensive mode!
"There's Formation? Ha! It can't stop me! Damn Xie Feng, today I will destroy Returning Moon City at all costs!"
Ye Zheng seems to have gone mad.
Not long ago, he heard that the five gods who went to assassinate Xie Feng had all died tragically. He was greatly shocked and, in a moment of impulsiveness, headed straight for Returning Moon City.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Ye Zheng went berserk, relentlessly bombarding Returning Moon City with his fists.
The air currents generated by the large formation fluctuated violently.
This blatant provocation quickly alarmed the people in the city.
"Who's making such a racket here?!"
Two figures flew out from above the city gate.
Yu Meng!
The Nether Dao!
The two of them quickly locked onto their target, their bodies jolted, and they appeared in front of Ye Zheng in the next second.
Yu Meng's eyes widened. " Ye Zheng, it's you!"
Nether Dao said with utter disdain, "Why aren't you holed up in your lair? What are you doing running around Returning Moon City causing a drunken ruckus? I haven't even settled accounts with you for what your people did in the Origin Realm yet!"
Ye Zheng laughed angrily, "You're in cahoots with Xie Feng, aren't you?"
Yu Meng coldly asked, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you want to do? If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight to the bitter end!"
"You guessed right, I'm here to fight today! I'm going to destroy Returning Moon City!" Ye Zheng smiled confidently.
"This guy's pretty drunk." Nether Dao rolled his eyes.
"Strike first, attack!" Yu Meng had long disliked Ye Zheng, and now that the other party had come to offer himself up for execution, he didn't think too much about it.
You gave this to me yourself!
Even if he dies, Returning Moon City is morally blameless!
Ye Zheng narrowed his eyes, staring at the two figures moving like lightning. Suddenly, he roared, and his muscles bulged out instantly. His face gradually changed from human form to a tiger-man with a strong physique!
