"Bang!"
As Ye Qianming's expression changed, Luo Qingtong also subconsciously looked in the direction his gaze was fixed upon.
But before she could lift her head, with a whoosh, the man pulled her to his side in one swift motion.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, a blood-red crescent, like a full moon, dashed towards the front instantaneously.
"Boom," Luo Qingtong stumbled beneath her feet, feeling intense attacks colliding and surging around from not far behind her.
Luo Qingtong's figure was still unsteady, and with the shock from the attacks behind her, she nearly fell to the ground.
From a diagonal angle, a strong arm suddenly extended from beside her, enveloping her waist and scooping her up into an embrace.
The man's breath was burning hot, his bare upper body now pressing tightly against Luo Qingtong's back.
"Saint Realm..."
Ye Qianming's eyes narrowed slightly, watching the Nine-blade Killer who approached from the sky, his handsome face as beautiful as a celestial being, yet his expression was ice cold to the extreme.
This person's timing was too perfect! And he dared to strike at her!
Had Ye Qianming not acted swiftly, that attack would have broken through the Qi Wall he had set up and struck Luo Qingtong!
The other party was probing him!
The moment he had protected the woman had been witnessed by the Nine-blade Killer. Clearly, he was testing whether this woman could become his weak point!
This Nine-blade Killer, deserved to die!
Ye Qianming's eyes grew colder.
The blood sword's glow within was indescribably chilling.
"Master!"
Having always acted as an invisible presence at the side, as though ignoring their own master's actions, Beiqing and Feng Yu hurriedly returned to shield Ye Qianming.
Little Fragrant Pig also scurried back to Luo Qingtong's side at this moment.
Bowing its head, it quickly slipped into Luo Qingtong's sleeve pocket.
Ye Qianming cast a cold glance at it and chose to ignore it.
Initially, capturing this pig was merely because he did not believe its words, wanting to interrogate it for the existence of the Ancient Medical Formula.
But now that he had found this woman who could heal his wounds, whether he got his hands on the Ancient Medical Formula or not was irrelevant.
Most importantly, this pig was this woman's Contracted Beast.
Naturally, Ye Qianming would not allow Luo Qingtong's strength to diminish.
For this, he was willing to let Little Fragrant Pig go.
"Behave properly, protect her, and don't be slippery. Those little tricks of yours are nothing in my eyes," he said coolly.
His voice chillingly resonated in Little Fragrant Pig's heart.
The little creature, already frightened, suddenly heard this sound in its heart, and its four hooves buckled, collapsing into Luo Qingtong's sleeve pocket.
Don't ask why it was so timid!
This man... he... he's not an ordinary person at all!
Otherwise, why would it have avoided him like the plague and even resorted to signing a Heaven and Earth Contract with Luo Qingtong!
Seeing that the man apparently had no intention of recapturing it, Little Fragrant Pig nodded non-stop.
Was it just about taking care of this woman and not being slippery?
It guaranteed it would agree!
After all, it could just be slippery with others!
Moreover, this woman Luo Qingtong was not someone to be trifled with—nearly as perverse as this man!
In front of her, it was utterly suppressed, alright?
Didn't you see how it was just thrown out again to be used as a shield?
Little Fragrant Pig's sensibility slightly lessened the coldness in Ye Qianming's eyes.
He lowered his head to look at the woman he was holding tightly in his arms.
The figure of this woman was indescribably soft and delicate, not at all indicating her wild and unyielding side.
