Chapter 109 - 23 Dark Techniques "Devil’s Eye"_2
"Alchemist Yue," from above the surface of the lake, an anxious shout carried over. Feng Buhui, with Ni Qianjun whose face was flushed red as fire, limped towards her.
Just before dawn, Ni Qianjun recovered, thanks to his formidable physique and remarkable willpower. In this misfortune, he found luck; his Dark Heavenly cultivation, far from diminishing in the face of the Devil Crystal’s poison, had instead become more refined.
Feng Buhui’s right eye was swollen like a steamed bun, and a front tooth was missing. Upon waking up and finding out that Feng Buhui had let Yue Jinghua go alone to the dangerous Lake Heart Island, Ni Qianjun beat him up badly.
"You’ve recovered? Truly worthy of being Dark Heavenly," Yue Jinghua punched Ni Qianjun in the chest, a smile in her eyes.
As dawn broke, Yue Jinghua’s blood-stained face and her eyes appeared even more clear and bright.
In Ni Qianjun’s throat, it was as if something was stuck, and without hesitation, he grabbed the fist that had landed on her chest.
Her fingers were seized by a pair of rough, large hands and immediately fell into the embrace of strong arms.
"I, Ni Qianjun, swear that in this lifetime, I shall not let you suffer the slightest injury," Ni Qianjun’s tiger-like eyes filled with passion, holding Yue Jinghua tightly.
Being held so tight that her ribs hurt and almost unable to breathe, Yue Jinghua rolled her eyes.
Qing Pu sneered at the side, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.
"What a touching scene of love. Ni Qianjun, as the vice-leader of the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group, you are in charge of leading both the Reversed Fire and Blue Crystal Mercenary Groups. The entire Blue Diamond Task was nearly annihilated, yet here you are, fooling around with this wench," Lihua Xue said with jealousy, a shadowy figure standing behind her.
