Chapter 1138: My Woman, I'll Protect Her!

Qin Xin’s pupils shrank!

Upon hearing the vulture’s screech and the voice of the Seventh Elder, she quickly accelerated the speed of the “petal boat.”

Nalan Ye Jue’s first reaction was to tighten his arm, wanting to pull her back to protect her.

Who knew, as soon as he grabbed her slender waist, she scolded lightly, “Don’t move. You can’t control the direction of the petals, just stay quietly behind!”

Nalan Ye Jue’s lips twitched: “…”

Other girls would hide in a man’s arms seeking protection when faced with danger, but his little wife was different, bravely charging ahead.

Truly unique, strikingly heroic.

Even though Qin Xin forbade him to move, Nalan Ye Jue didn’t obediently stay put.

He saw the Seventh Elder on the vulture conjure a huge fireball with both hands, aiming to smash them into the blood pool.

Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes darkened, he drew a talisman from his sleeve, his lips lightly parted as he uttered a few words.

The talisman immediately formed a golden silk soft net in mid-air, securely protecting him and Qin Xin. As soon as the Seventh Elder’s fireball touched this soft net, it turned into a puff of smoke, dissipating into nothing.

Even Qin Xin lightly praised, “Good!”

The Seventh Elder was furious, his nose nearly distorted with anger: “You, as a Great Tutor of the Divine Academy, keep blocking me from taking disciples, you trespassed into the blood pool with this woman, and even fought with me. Do you have any sense of a tutor’s demeanor and consciousness?!”

Nalan Ye Jue coldly said, “I don’t know what a tutor should be like, I only know that I will protect my woman. No one should think of harming her in the slightest.”

Qin Xin’s heart was slightly stirred.

Though the man was not obedient, his unyielding demeanor was imposing and protective.

She looked at the Seventh Elder with increasing displeasure—daring to mock her man?

She promptly picked up the crossbow, aimed directly at the Seventh Elder’s brow, and shot!

The Seventh Elder understood the power of the dark iron arrow, sensing danger, he quickly turned to dodge, but the vulture mount was struck by the arrow’s force, letting out a harsh cry and directly throwing the Seventh Elder off its back.

“Splash—!” With a sound, the Seventh Elder fell into the blood pool embarrassingly.

This time the Seventh Elder truly lost face and reputation, realizing the two were determined to oppose him today.

He gritted his teeth, his face showing a fierce look, “Since you don’t appreciate courtesy, don’t blame me for being ruthless and executing you right here, adding a bit of energy to the blood pool. A time manipulator and a talisman master, hmm, the blood pool indeed lacks nourishment like yours!”

Qin Xin frowned, “Using others’ blood to enhance your spiritual power, such shameless means as a psionic elder, you actually do it.”

The Seventh Elder, “The world is naturally survival of the fittest, this is the unbreakable rule!”

Qin Xin sneered, “Above survival of the fittest, there’s a higher rule called conscience. Unfortunately, you don’t have it. Since that’s the case, no need to waste words with you!”

During the delay of these words, she had ordered the little ginger snake to swim to the back of the Seventh Elder’s neck on the petal, and as the elder was distracted, the snake’s venomous fangs sunk deeply into his neck.

“What bit me, looking for death!” The Seventh Elder turned his head, but the little ginger snake slivered back swiftly under the cover of petals.

Snake venom seeped into the Seventh Elder’s skin, causing his neck to gradually stiffen.
