Fei Jiang and Yi Ni, standing by, watched silently without a word.
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "Tired? Not biting anymore?"
Yan Ran Qing Cheng, now clad in Undead attire, her demeanor and personality had also become strangely fanatical. Ming Zhi Tian felt she was being assimilated.
Yan Ran Qing Cheng glared at him. "Let me go."
Ming Zhi Tian released her without resistance. But the next second, Yan Ran Qing Cheng summoned the Mo Li Divine Bow, nocked an arrow, and loosed it instantly!
"Whoosh!" With a whistling sound that rent the air, it shot towards Ming Zhi Tian.
Ming Zhi Tian, however, caught the arrow aimed at his chest with one hand. Staring at the familiar projectile, he recalled how Yan Ran Qing Cheng had once fired ten such arrows at him, nearly costing him his life. It was almost laughable now.
Yan Ran Qing Cheng nocked three more arrows, ready to fire!
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Do you want to kill me that badly?"
Yan Ran Qing Cheng's expression was cold. "Though the bow in my hand is cold, it's not as cold as your heart."
In her hardened perception, Ming Zhi Tian was her enemy.
Before she could react, Ming Zhi Tian had already teleported beside her, grabbed her hands, and bound her slender wrists with the Immortal Binding Rope.
"Urgh! Let me go!"
Ming Zhi Tian shook his head. "I know you can't remember, but it's alright. I will help you recover your memories, provided that the Oblivion Pill within you is completely removed."
Seeing Yan Ran Qing Cheng glare at him, she still cried out the name of her lover, "Miles, save me! Miles, save me!"
Ming Zhi Tian felt a pang in his heart and chose to ignore it.
Moments later, Miles arrived with hundreds of Platinum Magical Beasts! "Release my fiancée!"
Ming Zhi Tian held Yan Ran Qing Cheng's delicate and tender waist. "Whose fiancée is she? Watch your mouth."
Miles became enraged. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to let her go!"
Ming Zhi Tian sneered. "I recall you're a disciple of King Luo Shi, aren't you?"
Miles thought he was intimidated and smiled. "That's right. You have some discernment. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy now. I might consider sparing your pathetic life."
Ming Zhi Tian scratched his ear. "It seems you haven't recognized the situation. Yi Ni, go and teach him a lesson."
"Yes, Master."
Yi Ni teleported! She appeared before the numerous Platinum Magical Beasts, her light sword planted between her eyes. With one move: "Twilight! Descend!"
"Boom! Swish!..."
"Urgh! Awooo!!..."
Hundreds of Platinum Magical Beasts were annihilated with a single sword strike.
Miles still tried to resist, but an Undead Bone Blade swung towards him. "Ten Bats' Frenzied Bite!"
Yi Ni intercepted the attack with one move and then grabbed him with her other hand. "Master, how should I deal with him?"
Ming Zhi Tian looked at him coldly. "Dare to lay a hand on my woman? Kill him."
"Yes."
"No!..." Yan Ran Qing Cheng cried out.
Yi Ni twisted his head clean off and tossed it to the ground.
Yan Ran Qing Cheng wept, tears flowing like rain, her three years of affection pouring out as she began to sob.
Ming Zhi Tian sighed, cradling her head in his arms, unfazed by the drenching tears. He remembered how he had once wished for a woman to cry for him.
Ming Zhi Tian knew Yan Ran Qing Cheng hated him at this moment. To prevent her from falling into utter despair, he forcefully made her swallow a Spirit Calming Pill, and she fell asleep.
Returning to the Salty Sea Pavilion, Ming Zhi Tian immediately retrieved the corpse of Huan Shen Liu Li Qian Suo from his storage bag. He then summoned a series of mechanical devices and assembled it. Following that, he revived Huan Shen Liu Li Qian Suo in the form of a mechanical puppet, ensuring his consciousness was under control.
