Run Yu came back from his shift. When he passed by the Water God's Luo Xiang Residence, he happened to bump into Xufeng, who seemed to be waiting for someone.

Run Yu was about to lower his head and walk around when Xufeng called out, "Brother." He stopped in his tracks.

Xufeng walked over and asked, "Brother, are you trying to avoid me?"

Run Yu smiled and said, "I just finished my shift and I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest."

This meant that he didn't want to talk to him anymore. Xufeng said, "Oh." His face was a little gloomy.

Seeing him like this, Run Yu couldn't bear it and changed the topic, "It's still early. What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for Jin Mi."

Run Yu nodded. The Water God had just recognized his daughter, and he wanted her to move into his residence. He should have thought of this, but he didn't ask.

Run Yu was silent and didn't answer. After a while, Xufeng said, "Water God … didn't agree to my marriage proposal."

Seeing his aggrieved look, Runyu suddenly wanted to reach out and touch his face like she always did, but when her hand was about to reach out, she held back.

"Did he say the reason?"

"He said that Jin Mi is still young and doesn't know how to love. He said that he would consider this matter after Jin Mi becomes a Great Deity."

Run Yu immediately understood the relationship between marriage and becoming a Great Deity. In fact, the Water God didn't want to marry the Celestial Ruler.

As for the reason, it was mostly related to the domineering The Queen of Heaven.

Even if he became a Great Deity, the Water God must have other reasons.

Maybe Xufeng was also aware of this, which was why he was so depressed.

It was inconvenient for Run Yu to say this out loud. He could only console her, "Immortals have a long lifespan. You guys still have a lot of time. Take it slow. As long as your heart is sincere, there will be a day when the ice and snow will melt." Just like himself in the past.

Xufeng understood the logic, but being comforted like this still made him feel much better.

This matter had been buried in his heart for a long time, and he had never told anyone about it. Just now, he didn't know why, but when he saw his elder brother, he couldn't help but blurt it out, as if he had long been used to pouring out his worries to him.

Xufeng couldn't help but feel grateful. He softly called out, "Elder brother …"

At this moment, a "Phoenix!" interrupted him.

Jin Mi, who was dressed in colorful clothes, jumped in front of him and spun around. "Do I look good?"

Xufeng nodded.

Jin Mi asked again, "Then are you happy to see me?"

Xufeng opened his mouth to answer, but turned his head to look at Run Yu. He was a little embarrassed.

Run Yu saw this and immediately took his leave, leaving this beautiful morning to the two little lovers.

After he quickly left the area, he covered his chest and took a few deep breaths. His chest still felt stuffy and painful, but compared to a few months ago, it was much better.

Run Yu laughed at himself. It seemed that his elder brother was still competent after a hundred years. However, he didn't know that his eyes were already dark red.

In the blink of an eye, the fetus in Run Yu's body was already eight months old. Perhaps because it was against the heavens, its body didn't show any signs.

However, Run Yu's spiritual power was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed that most of it was used to nourish the little guy in his belly.

Fortunately, he was only a small god of the night. Usually, other than arranging stars and hanging the night sky, he didn't use much spiritual power.

But now, facing Qiongqi alone, Run Yu felt extremely strained.

It wasn't that he overestimated himself, but that he had no other choice.

Qiongqi had clearly been handed over to his father to deal with. He didn't know why he came to the Southern Heavenly Gate to cause trouble today.

Run Yu didn't want to care. With his current spiritual power, even if he went forward, he would be seeking his own death. He wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Just as he was about to leave, a female immortal exclaimed in front of him. That was … Fairy Jin Mi?

If something happened to her, Xufeng would definitely be sad.

Without hesitation, Run Yu transformed into a spiritual sword and rushed out of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Run Yu blocked in front of Qiongqi and forcefully pulled Jin Mi out from under his claws. Then, they started to fight.

Taking advantage of the confrontation with Qiongqi, Run Yu hurriedly shouted at his uncle who was standing at the side in a daze, "Quickly inform father!"

But unexpectedly, with this distraction, he lost his balance. Run Yu only felt a strong force hit his chest. In an instant, he flew back several feet. When he landed, his back broke the palace lantern, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Seeing that Qiongqi was about to rush towards Jin Mi again, a feather arrow surrounded by flames shot from afar. After hitting Qiongqi, the force didn't decrease, and Qiongqi rolled down the cloud platform.

When Run Yu saw the flames, he knew that Xufeng had come. But he was even more anxious.

His spiritual power was weak, and he couldn't defeat Qiongqi. But with just Xufeng alone, he definitely couldn't contend against Qiongqi.

Sure enough, after a stick of incense's time, Xufeng gradually couldn't hold on.

Run Yu endured the sharp pain in his abdomen, gathered all his remaining spiritual power into his sword, and once again joined the battle.

Even if it was two against one, the situation didn't improve much. After a moment, Qiongqi slapped Xufeng's back. Run Yu anxiously shouted, "Xufeng!!!"

Xufeng didn't care about himself at all. Almost at the same time he fell to the ground, he rushed towards Jin Mi.

But Qiongqi was faster than him. Before Xufeng could reach him, he grabbed Jin Mi's head with his claws.

At this time, Jin Mi's body was covered in red light, and Qiongqi was blocked to the point that he couldn't take half a step forward. In the next second, the Celestial Ruler arrived and flicked Qiongqi's chest.

On the other side, the Celestial Ruler was suppressing Qiongqi. On the other side, Run Yu was somewhat stunned.

Others may not know, but Run Yu saw it clearly. Just now, that was … the Huan Di Phoenix Plume?

Xufeng had even given this to her?

He had been in love with her for a hundred years, but he had only seen the Huan Di Phoenix Plume a few times, let alone give it to her.

Sure enough, Jin Mi was different.

When Run Yu came back to his senses, the Celestial Ruler had already subdued Qiongqi and was asking about his two sons' injuries.

Xufeng only said that there was no harm. After a pause, he asked the Celestial Ruler, "Father clearly said last time that Qiongqi would be annihilated. Why did Qiongqi reappear today?"

The Celestial Ruler instantly frowned and looked down at Xufeng with an indescribable coldness in his eyes.

Seeing that Xufeng was about to speak, Run Yu hurriedly nudged him from behind. Seeing that he looked over and shook his head almost imperceptibly, Xufeng finally stopped and didn't ask any more questions.

After the Celestial Ruler left, Xufeng still couldn't help but reveal an angry expression. He didn't even pay attention to Run Yu and only cared about checking Jin Mi's injuries.

In the end, it was Jin Mi who ran over and said to Run Yu, "Thank you, Your Majesty Night God. If it wasn't for you today, I definitely would've lost my life."

Run Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing. You don't have to mention it.

But Fairy Jin Mi, why are you outside the Southern Heavenly Gate? "

One had to know that among the Four Heavenly Gates, the Southern Heavenly Gate was only used by the lower realm.

Jin Mi looked a little depressed. "The day before yesterday, father asked His Majesty to allow me to ascend to immortality. However, Fairy Yuan Ji said that my divine essence hasn't been purified and I need to go to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation for dozens of years.

I'm going to leave this evening, so I want to return to the flower world to visit the ladies before I leave. "

Go to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation?

Run Yu's gaze couldn't help but drift to Xufeng who was behind Jin Mi. No wonder he was so depressed today. It was because he had to part with Jin Mi for a period of time.

[I can't bear to part with you.]

This sentence suddenly rang in Run Yu's mind, and it stung him so much that even his breathing hurt.

She was clearly a few thousand years old, but she still had such a childish temper …

"Majesty?"

Run Yu hurriedly collected his thoughts and forced a smile. "Fairy Jin Mi, why don't you let the Fire God accompany you? I'm sure he would like to spend more time with you."

Jin Mi said happily, "That's right.

Phoenix, come with me! "

Xufeng smiled slightly and nodded. He walked forward and asked Run Yu, "Brother, you blocked the Qiongqi all by yourself just now. Are you injured?"

Run Yu's stomach still hurt faintly, but he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."

"That's good." As he spoke, Xufeng raised his hands and bowed. "On behalf of Jin Mi, Xufeng thanks Brother for saving my life."
