Chapter 9, Tyrannosaurus Rex

Hai Ruyue calmly said: "If you wish to think this way, I do not deny it. The Qilin is the king of the zodiac, but you are not; you do not possess the abilities worthy of our recognition. In order to ensure that you do not become a burden to us in the future, hellish training is what suits you. At the very least, I will turn you into an indestructible cockroach." As she spoke, she surprisingly lifted Qi Yue's body with one hand, and the sensation of spinning returned once more, as Qi Yue was heavily thrown to the ground.

Pushing the door open, Qi Yue saw a vast training room, measuring at least two to three thousand square meters. The floor was covered with a mat approximately three inches thick. The mat was not soft, but it was filled with elasticity. The walls surrounding the room also seemed to be covered with the same material. The entire training room appeared quite spacious, and Hai Ruyue was sitting cross-legged in the center of the room.

Hai Ruyue stood at the entrance and said, "Do you think my Dragon Domain villa is a place where you can come and go as you please? If you want to leave, you can do so, but you must defeat me first; no one will stop you."

At this moment, the sea had transformed once again, and the professional outfit she wore had vanished. In its place was a set of white training attire, identical to her own. Her long hair was still tied up on her head, and she still wore her black-framed glasses. Although the training outfit was loose, it could not conceal her absolutely stunning figure.

Qi Yue turned over, lay on the bed, and looked at Uncle Zhou, saying: "So I should feel quite honored, does your young lady not have a boyfriend?"

Hai Ruyue stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "It's nothing, I was just practicing with Mr. Qi. You can take him back to his room, do not use any medicine, just provide him with food, and let him recover on his own."

Qi Yue got out of bed and said, "What formalities are necessary? This is better; as long as it is not in front of your young lady, you can just call me by my name. It feels more comfortable this way. I have never been called 'sir' by anyone before. Uncle Zhou, let's go."

The cold voice of Hai Ruyue echoed once more, "I have heard that you are the Ink Qilin. The Ink Qilin is born with extraordinary self-healing abilities. Do you know what happened to the bloodline successors of the Qilin in history? They became targets for their opponents due to their own weakness, which in turn brought trouble to the Zodiac guardians. Since you are the Ink Qilin, let me help you develop your self-healing potential further, so that you can cause us less trouble in the future"

Uncle Zhou nodded to Qi Yue, and Qi Yue only heard a faint voice whispering in his ear, "Do not go against the young lady's wishes; it would be better for you this way"

Before him, everything was blurred; the intense pain in his chest left Qi Yue without the strength to even rise. He opened his mouth to gasp for air, but the searing pain in his chest caused him to feel suffocated.

Uncle Zhou shook his head and said, "I am sorry, but I cannot speak about the young lady's matters. Everyone here must adhere to the rules. Mr. Qi, as a guest, you should be afforded some leniency. Mr. Qi, please wait a moment; I will go fetch your training attire."

Qi Yue could only sit up. He was merely dissatisfied with Hai Ruyue's attitude, but he did not wish to make things difficult for Uncle Zhou. After all, in his view, everyone was just trying to make a living, so why should he put someone in a difficult position? "Alright, I will go with you, but there is no need to change this training outfit, as I have no intention of practicing anyway. Uncle Zhou, didn't I say you could just call me by my name?"

Uncle Zhou carefully helped Qi Yue up and said: "You need to rest well now. The young lady was measured in her actions and did not injure your bones; your internal organs have only suffered some shock. Overall, it can be considered an external injury, but you have lost quite a bit of blood. In the future, do not provoke the young lady's anger again. In fact, the young lady is very kind; she is always decisive in her actions and detests others defying her orders. Whether in business or at home, she is known for her strong demeanor."

"Don't!" Qi Yue hurriedly grabbed Ji Mingming, who was about to turn and leave, and whispered, "Mingming, why didn't you tell me before coming that Long is actually a woman, and a stunning beauty at that"

"Yield? Do you think I would? You can crush my body, but you can never crush my spirit. The feeling of loosening my muscles and bones is truly delightful; however, I estimate that it would be even more pleasurable if I were to grasp those two things on your chest." At this moment, Qi Yue's voice not only lacked any sign of submission but also carried a hint of mockery. Indeed, he could no longer feel pain; when pain reaches a certain threshold, his body and mind have become numb.

The cold light flickered in Qi Yue's eyes, "My memory has always been excellent, Uncle Zhou, thank you for your reminder"

The woman in white nodded and said, "Alright, you can bring him in." After saying this, she simply cast a calm glance at Qi Yue before returning to the villa

Hai Ruyue nodded and said, "I have already made the arrangements. I have also arranged the schools you will be attending. Mingming, if you are willing, you can also stay here."

Uncle Zhou brought Qi Yue to a room on the inner side of the second floor of the villa. The decor style of the room was very similar to that of the hall, with all necessary items readily available. There was a simple small living room, next to which was a bathroom, and beyond that was a bedroom. The bed in the bedroom was very large, enough to accommodate three people, and the pristine white bedding was brand new and spotless. For Qi Yue, who was accustomed to living in a doghouse, this was indeed somewhat uncomfortable

As he saw her legs so close, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel overjoyed. As long as he could grab her legs, even if she managed to push him away, for a woman of such high pride, it would undoubtedly be a great humiliation, thus achieving his goal. Just when he thought he was about to succeed, Hai Ruyue advanced instead of retreating, suddenly leaning forward. Her left leg bent, and before Qi Yue's arms could close around her, her knee struck precisely against his forehead. A tremendous force surged through, causing his head to tilt back along with his body, while Hai Ruyue's left foot naturally lifted, the top of her foot landing squarely on his chest.

Qi Yue shrugged and said, "I didn't sleep last night, and now I need to rest. I just came to let you know. I'm going back." After saying this, he turned and left.

The sea, like the moon, finally came to a halt, with bloodstains scattered across the ground. At this moment, Qi Yue's body lay in the corner, covered in blood, and the rise and fall of his chest confirmed that he was still alive

Qi Yue curled his lips and said, regardless of your commands, I will sleep as I please; at worst, I can just return to my own basement to live.

Uncle Zhou revealed a faint smile and said, "This is not in accordance with etiquette; I shall still address you as Mr. Zhou." Qi Yue's appearance could not be described as unattractive, and his courteous demeanor towards the elder inevitably evoked a slight sense of goodwill in the old man.

After Hai Ruyue finished her explanation, she did not even glance at Qi Yue again and turned to go upstairs

"No, no, no, it's fine, I want to sleep for a while first. I didn't sleep at all last night. Please just let your young lady know, she can't possibly not let someone sleep." Qi Yue was too lazy to practice any skills. Although today, that lightning-fast agility had greatly shocked him, just thinking of Hai Ruyue's cold gaze made him reluctant to train with her.

Qi Yue and Ji Mingming sat down on a sofa beside Hai Ruyue. Mingming said, "Sister Ruyue, we just returned to the capital, and Qi Yue's living conditions are too poor. Let him stay here with you."

Ji Mingming stuck out her tongue, glanced at Qi Yue with a hint of pity, then stood up and said: "Then I will take my leave first. Sister Xiyue, I will leave him in your care."

A domineering energy lifted Qi Yue off the ground, and Hai Ruyue's face loomed larger before him. At this moment, blood was already flowing from Qi Yue's mouth and nose. Hai Ruyue coldly said: "I do not care if you hate me; you may hate me as much as you wish. If you possess even a fraction of strength that surpasses mine, you may retaliate. At least by then, you would be a strong individual. Unfortunately, you are not one now."

Are you looking for death!" Mingming clearly pinched Qiyue hard.

On one side of the hall, four three-seater sofas are arranged in a semi-circular shape. At this moment, Hai Ruyue is sitting on one of the sofas, holding a glass of bright red drink, sipping it slowly as if it were blood. The red drink contrasts sharply with her white attire, adding a touch of splendor to the elegance. Such a level of villa was something Qi Yue had never even imagined, let alone seen before.

Hai Ruyue once again lifted Qiyue from the ground, saying, "Think as you wish. I hope the pain you experience today will teach you one thing: until you are stronger than I am, my orders are not to be disobeyed." Boom—he was thrown out once more, this time with extra force. Qiyue's body was hurled several dozen meters away, crashing heavily against the wall before slowly sliding down.

Uncle Zhou quickly walked to Qi Yue's side, took his pulse, and with his other hand felt around his body. Qi Yue had indeed lost a considerable amount of blood, and at this moment, his pulse was already very weak. Uncle Zhou sighed and said, "What is the point of this?"

Hai Ruyue stood up, her voice noticeably softened, "Uncle Zhou, this Mr. Qi will be staying with us from now on. Please arrange a room for him, and then find him a set of training clothes and bring him to my training room."

In a short while, Uncle Zhou returned, holding a simple set of training clothes. At this moment, Qi Yue, having not slept all night, had already entered a hazy state and was unaware of Uncle Zhou's entrance.

After returning to the room, with Uncle Zhou's assistance, Qi Yue changed into a new set of clothes and wiped off the bloodstains on his body. Qi Yue was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to eat and immediately fell into a deep sleep

Uncle Zhou said: "Mr. Qi, please follow me to the training room, so as not to keep the young lady waiting for too long"

"Mr. Qi, you may get up now," Uncle Zhou said, gently patting Qi Yue's shoulder.

"Miss, you are looking for me," the old man approached Hai Ruyue and respectfully bowed.

Hai Ruyue said with a stern expression: "In my dictionary, there is no such thing as indulgence. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Clearly, you want to go home, don't you? I think you should leave now; I will arrange a car to take you. Please send my regards to Uncle and Aunt when you return. As for this person, I have my own arrangements. When school starts at the end of August, you can go to school together then."

Qi Yue turned over without any reaction. Uncle Zhou furrowed his brows and patted him on the shoulder again. This time, Qi Yue felt a surge of warmth entering his body from his shoulder, and his consciousness, which had just become hazy as he fell asleep, instantly became clear. "Ah! Uncle Zhou, what are you doing?"

The cold voice of Hai Ruyue came from within the room, "Let him in."

Qi Yue sat on the sofa with a huff, "If I don't call you 'Miss', should I call you 'Sir'? I'm not saying you're that kind of 'Miss', so why get so worked up? It seems I am the king of the zodiac, after all." Although Hai Ruyue was a beauty, her cold demeanor made Qi Yue quite uncomfortable. The first time he met Ji Mingming, although her attitude towards him was not particularly good, it was not as inherently cold as Hai Ruyue's.

The door opened, and Uncle Zhou walked in from outside. Upon seeing the bloodstains all over the floor, he couldn't help but be startled, "Miss, this ... ... "

Uncle Zhou said: "Mr. Qi, you should speak to the young lady yourself. I cannot go against her orders. Please do not put me in a difficult position, alright?"

It seems that I was still too gentle today. Hai Ruyue's voice seemed to freeze the air; had it not been for her awareness that Qi Yue's body could no longer withstand any more blows, she would have likely struck again.

No matter how elastic the mats on the ground and walls are, such a strong blow is something Qi Yue has never experienced before. He now somewhat understands why Yan Xiao Yi would hate him so much. This kind of attack, devoid of any ability to resist, injures not only the body but also the heart. It is an insult. The greatest insult a woman can inflict on a man is, of course, to question his sexual ability, and now Qi Yue clearly feels this way. In front of Hai Ru Yue, he feels like a small boat in a raging sea; not to mention resisting, even standing up has become a luxury.

The torment of the Tyrannosaurus Rex truly began at this moment. Hai Ruyue used only one hand to repeatedly lift Qi Yue and throw him away. Aside from the one time Qi Yue attacked her, she did not directly strike his body again. In her grasp, Qi Yue was like a large sack, being tossed around. Blood inevitably stained his own clothing, while also coloring the floor and the mats on the walls.

A glimmer of resentment flickered in Qi Yue's eyes, "Is this the legendary rice pounding?"

Uncle Zhou had left, and only then did Qi Yue realize that this Uncle Zhou was actually a master who had been hiding his skills. He had indeed used the ability to condense sound into a line before, but he could not gather sound as finely and clearly as Uncle Zhou did. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief for not having insisted too much earlier; otherwise, given Uncle Zhou's loyalty to Hai Ruyue's commands, he might have forcibly brought him along.

Qi Yue suddenly felt himself flying up, performing a backflip in mid-air that he would normally be incapable of. His outstretched arms embraced only air, as a powerful force struck his forehead, making his neck feel as if it had been broken. The intense pain in his chest nearly rendered him unable to breathe. This time, it was not just a fall to the ground; his body flew straight out after the backflip, traveling five to six meters before landing. The impact caused him to slide backward along the floor, and a mouthful of fresh blood erupted from Qi Yue's mouth, instantly staining the new clothes that Zagulu had given him.

Yes, miss

Qi Yue sat up and said, "Uncle Zhou, you can just call me by my name, I am Qi Yue. Please inform your young lady that I am going to sleep."

The woman in white said calmly: "Is he the Qilin? The master has called me."

Hai Ruyue had never felt what fear was from childhood to adulthood. However, upon seeing Qi Yue, who wore a smile while saying these words, she suddenly felt a chill creeping up her back. Qi Yue's tone was not firm; due to the blows his body had suffered, his voice had become somewhat hoarse. Yet, for some reason, Hai Ruyue could deeply sense that Qi Yue's words were not merely a threat.

Uncle Zhou seemed not to have heard Qi Yue's words and said: "We call this place Longyu Bieyuan. Mr. Qi can have meals in the second-floor dining room at 7:00 AM every morning. Lunch is at 11:30 AM, and dinner is at 6:00 PM. Food is only provided at these three times each day. From 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, there will be servants to help you clean your room. If you need anything else, you can also find me. You are the first male guest to stay with the young lady." If you need anything else, you can also find me. You are the first male guest to stay with the young lady.

The sensation of pain has slightly subsided, and Qi Yue struggled to get up from the ground. "What skill is there in a sneak attack? It’s your territory, you have the final say. Then I shall take my leave. I never intended to be a guest under someone else's roof. If it weren't for Mingming, I wouldn't have come at all"

Hai Ruyue looked into his eyes and said, "What do you think? When dealing with a little rogue like you, I have at least one hundred methods. One thing I can be sure of is that you are still a man. At least for an hour, you did not beg for mercy, otherwise, I would look down on you even more. If you are willing to submit to me now, perhaps I will allow you to rest for an extra two days"

Qi Yue breathed heavily, "From the moment you first saw me, did you decide to do this? Miss Tyrannosaurus. " His voice was somewhat intermittent, yet there was not a trace of submission in his expression

"Please take a seat." The voice of Hai Ruyue is very pleasant, yet the subtle chill it carries gives a sense of distance that makes it somewhat difficult to approach

Qi Yue said with a wry smile: "Even I find it inexplicable. Does she have a tendency towards violence?"

Qi Yue smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhou." At first glance, Uncle Zhou appeared to be a very meticulous person. Although he did not seem particularly kind, Qi Yue always held a bit more respect for elders.

Uncle Zhou walked a few steps to Qi Yue's side and said, "Mr. Qi, please follow me"

Ji Mingming nodded. When she turned around and saw Qi Yue's pig-like expression, she felt an urge to slap him a few times. This guy had completely forgotten everything she had said. She quickly released her grip on the white-clad beauty's hand and hurried to Qi Yue's side, signaling him with her eyes while saying: "Yes! Sister Xiyue, he is indeed the Qilin."

Hai Ruyue glanced at Qi Yue and said: "Qi Yue, male, 19 years old, grew up in the Jing Shan Orphanage in the capital, left the orphanage at 14 to live independently, dropped out of middle school and entered society, renting a basement in the Yu Jing community with social welfare funds, usually idle and unproductive, classified as a social drifter, with some characteristics of organized crime. A month and a half ago, he fled to Tibet after assaulting the son of the city police chief."

Hai Ruyue watched as Qi Yue entered the training room wearing shoes, and couldn't help but frown, "You haven't changed into your training uniform"

Hai Ruyue looked at him with some disdain, standing still without moving. When Qiyue was about three meters away from Hai Ruyue, he suddenly stumbled, as if a horse had lost its footing, and fell towards the ground. At the moment Hai Ruyue was slightly taken aback, Qiyue had already opened his arms, using the momentum of his body leaning forward as he fell to quickly embrace Hai Ruyue's legs. This move was something he had developed over many years of fighting. Once he managed to grab the opponent's legs, grappling had always been Qiyue's strong suit. Although Qiyue was a rogue, he was not foolish. Ji Mingming was already so formidable, and since this Hai Ruyue was even stronger than her, it was clear that he could not handle her alone. In that case, he could only resort to some despicable tactics.

The successive waves of intense pain from the drama and the images brought Qi Yue close to the brink of unconsciousness. At that moment, a cold current flowed in from above, and Qi Yue's mind became clearer than it had been before entering the training room. Hai Ruyue said calmly, "You must deeply feel this pain in order to better unleash your potential"

Qi Yue forced a smile, yet a cold light flickered in his eyes. "I, Qi Yue, swear by my own blood that one day, I will make Hai Ruyue my female slave."

Ji Mingming smiled and said, "No, I haven't been home much these past few years, and I should go back to spend time with my parents. However, I will come over often. As for you, Sister Yue, I will leave him in your care."

Ji Mingming rolled her eyes dramatically and said, "You might as well go die. You dare to tease Sister Ruyue; I think your end is not far off. Sister Ruyue is indeed a stunning beauty, but her temper is as fiery as her figure. I can't be bothered with you anymore; just count your blessings."

Just as Qi Yue stepped out of the training room, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Immediately afterward, the sensation of soaring through the clouds startled him into a scream. In the next moment, he found himself crashing heavily to the ground. This fall seemed to shatter every bone in his body; there was not a single part that did not ache, and he was on the verge of spitting out blood. His entire body convulsed from the sudden, intense pain, curling up as his consciousness became somewhat blurred from the impact. This fall seemed to shatter every bone in his body; there was not a single part that did not ache, and he was on the verge of spitting out blood. His entire body convulsed from the sudden, intense pain, curling up as his consciousness became somewhat blurred from the impact.

As the two individuals entered the villa, they were greeted by a vast hall. Upon entering, two attendants dressed in white shirts and black trousers approached, each presenting a warm towel to them and taking the luggage from Ji Mingming's hands. Qi Yue wiped his face while surveying the surroundings. The hall was entirely decorated in white, with six massive white marble columns supporting the central beam of the villa. The floor was laid with milky white marble, complemented by a white fireplace nearby, exuding a distinct European style. At the center of the room, directly ahead, stood a statue of a dragon, a crystalline white five-clawed dragon with eyes inlaid with sapphires.

"Mingming, didn't I tell you to call me Sister Ruyue? Try to avoid mentioning the word 'dragon' outside." The cold voice seemed devoid of any emotion, yet the gaze of the beautiful woman in white towards Ji Mingming was quite gentle. Although she was only five years older than Ji Mingming, at that moment, she appeared to be looking at her child.

Ji Mingming helplessly said: "In any case, you must be careful. Sister Ruyue is the president of a large company and is known for her strictness. I once saw a guy who wanted to pursue her; I don't know what Sister Ruyue did, but that man ended up in the hospital for three months. After that, whenever he saw a woman, he would tremble all over. Just think about it. Sister Ruyue's full name is Hai Ruyue, and you can calculate her age based on the zodiac signs. Let's go, Sister Ruyue doesn't like to wait for people." She wasn't really blaming Qi Yue; after their brief interaction, she had already understood what kind of person he was. Although he was always flirtatious and flashy, he was more of a person with lustful thoughts but lacking the courage, and he wasn't really that bad.

Ji Mingming stuck out her tongue and said, "Got it, Sister Kisaragi. I just have a poor memory; who told you to be a dragon"

Hǎi Rúyuè calmly said: "If you can defeat me, I will acknowledge you as the King of the Zodiac and grant you my service. However, until then, you do not have the authority to command me"

As Hai Ruyue departed, Qi Yue's breathing grew increasingly labored, his vacant eyes slowly closed, and his chest rose and fell continuously

Qi Yue quietly pinched Ming Ming's waist and, with a playful expression, said: "Come visit me when you have time. I'm here, so you don't need to worry"

Uncle Zhou nodded and led Qi Yue out of the room. The two went directly to the fourth floor of the villa, where there was only one large door. Uncle Zhou approached the door and lightly knocked a few times, saying, "Miss, Mr. Qi has arrived."

With a bang, the training room door closed, and Hai Ruyue's cold voice echoed, "You must remember one thing: what I have said is not to be violated by anyone. Whether you are a Qilin or a rogue, you are on my territory now, and you must obey me"

A faint layer of black light gradually emerged from Qi Yue's body. He was now unable to even let out a scream; aside from remaining conscious, he could only passively endure the relentless assaults from Hai Ruyue. It was only when he faced this female tyrannosaurus alone that Qi Yue truly understood why Ji and Uncle Zhou had both cautioned him. The violent impulses of the female tyrannosaurus were almost incessant.

Qi Yue looked at her with dull, lifeless eyes. At this moment, his gaze bore some resemblance to the sea under the moon, devoid of any emotion. "It must feel quite satisfying to overpower the weak."

A cold light flashed in Hai Ruyue's eyes as she said, "I do not wish to hear the words 'Miss.' Please call me by my name; I am Hai Ruyue."

Uncle Zhou said, "This is not appropriate; the young lady's orders are always beyond question." As he spoke, he had already walked out of the room

Ji Mingming noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, and quickly said: "Sister Kisaragi, in fact, Qi Yue is a very good person. He has just come into contact with our world and still needs to adapt. Please be a bit more accommodating towards him."

Qiyue furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Miss, are you checking the household registration?"

Qi Yue curled his lips and thought to himself, what are you showing off for? It's just a bit of money, why act so high and mighty in front of me

At this moment, time seemed to stretch infinitely. Qi Yue wished to choose unconsciousness, but Hai Ruyue deliberately denied him that opportunity. Each time she threw him out, she would pause for a moment before striking again. Her strength appeared to be boundless, as if she had no concept of fatigue.

Hai Ruyue's expression remained as cold as ever. She took out her communicator and said, "Uncle Zhou, please come to my training room for a moment." After putting away the communicator, she walked in front of Qi Yue and stopped, crouching beside him. She pressed her hands on various parts of his body and said calmly, "Today is one hour. The next session will be in three days. The duration for the next session will increase by ten minutes."

Qi Yue gazed at Hai Ruyue with a flicker of his eyes; the beauty before him was no longer charming. It was the first time he had been struck by a woman. He let out a resentful snort, "Alright." He suddenly charged towards Hai Ruyue, his fist already raised.

He tossed his small bag aside and, disregarding the presence of Uncle Zhou, directly threw himself onto the bed. The bed was not very soft, but it was quite elastic, making it very comfortable to lie on. Having not slept all night, Qi Yue suddenly felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. "Thank you, Uncle Zhou, this bed is truly comfortable"

As Ji Mingming left, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to grow even more solemn. Hai Ruyue unexpectedly held a device resembling a remote control in her hand. After pressing it twice lightly, a minute later, an elderly man dressed in a traditional Chinese Tang suit descended from the upper floor. The harmonious blue Tang suit complemented him well, and his snow-white hair indicated his age. However, his complexion was very rosy, and he surprisingly had few wrinkles. He stood upright, with a pair of bright, spirited eyes.

Hai Ruyue stood quietly in her room, gazing through the window at the vast expanse of greenery in the courtyard. Her expression had softened, no longer so cold. She raised her right hand, and a faint white light began to gather in her palm. In a short while, a layer of fine white scales covered her hand, and solid nails grew at her fingertips. "The Qilin has appeared; it seems that the East is truly becoming unsettled. Qi Yue, I do not need you to understand my intentions; I only hope that you can become powerful in the shortest time possible. Even if the Four Auspicious Qilin restrict your cultivation, you must at least possess a formidable body.

It is incredibly difficult for the Zodiac Guardian to complete its task; without the guidance of the Qilin, it cannot be perfected. Master Zagulu, I am sorry, but I can only use my own methods. It is incredibly difficult for the Zodiac Guardian to complete its task; without the guidance of the Qilin, it cannot be perfected. Master Zagulu, I am sorry, but I can only use my own methods. Why is it that every time I grasp his body, there is a violent fluctuation of the cloud power within me? After an hour, my cloud power seems to be experiencing strong rejection, as if the progress I made in cultivation over the past few days has vanished. Could this be the effect of the auspicious Qilin?"

Ah! Qi Yue felt a pang of pain, and the beautiful woman in white had already vanished. Only then did he come to his senses, "So beautiful, truly too beautiful. With such a fiery figure, I wonder what it would feel like to hold her in my arms."

Hai Ruyue made a gesture, and immediately a servant helped Mingming carry her luggage out the door. Qi Yue stood up to see Mingming off at the entrance. Before leaving, Ji Mingming whispered to him: "You must remember my words, never provoke Sister Ruyue, or you will only be making things difficult for yourself. Shenglin Jue will also be taught by Sister Ruyue. Her teachings will definitely be much better than mine."

"Stop right there." Hai Ruyue's voice grew increasingly cold. However, Qi Yue seemed not to hear it, as he had already pulled open the door to the training room.
