Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: The Night of Playing the Piano

Looking at these insatiable people, Gong Zhuo spread his hands and said coldly, "As far as I know, there is only this one thod. I’m only telling you because of the Second Young Master’s sake. If you’re unwilling, just wait for your bodies to explode and perish!"

After saying that, Gong Zhuo flicked his sleeves and left.

The guards exchanged glances, finding no other solution. To save their lives, they reluctantly destroyed their own Magic Sources, and from then on, faded into diocrity.

From this mont onward, all traces of i Ji left in this world were almost entirely erased.

Three days later, at Soul-breaking Cliff.

Jiu Ge donned a white robe, his snow-white long hair draped over his shoulders. He sat quietly, holding the Fairy Snow Zither in his hands, his fingers plucking the strings, producing a flowing and continuous lody.

"You’re improving quickly." A gentle voice of admiration sounded from nearby.

Jiu Ge stopped and slowly turned around, gazing at Qin Sisi standing not far away. His eyes softened as he responded, "It’s because you taught

well."

Qin Sisi curved her lips slightly, walked to Jiu Ge’s side, sat down on the ground as he did, then tilted her head and asked, "What is this piece?"

Jiu Ge paused for a mont before replying, "I don’t know. These days, I’ve been idling in my room, so I composed this tune myself. If it must have a na, let’s call it Snow Jade Flower."

Qin Sisi nodded thoughtfully and asked in fascination, "Snow Jade Flower, it must be very beautiful, right?"

Jiu Ge also nodded and replied, "Yes, very beautiful, like sothing that should only exist in the heavens."

To Jiu Ge, the experience of seeing Snow Jade Flower seed to be the last ti in his life that he felt true, heartfelt joy.

Not long after returning, his mother brought a girl before him, turning him from a boy into a man.

He tasted the pleasure of physical desire release early, but rarely felt the innocence, bewildernt, heartbeat, and fervor of love.

Only much later did Jiu Ge understand that love and sex should follow a natural progression, like the course of spring, sumr, autumn, and winter.

It starts with the gentle sprouting of spring, then the passionate longing of sumr, followed by the fruit-bearing maturity of autumn, and finally the peaceful companionship of a winter calm.

But he skipped the gentle ignorance of first love, bypassed the frenzy of infatuation, and went straight to the release of physical desire, leaving only the desolate loneliness of winter.

For a long ti, his life was filled with sex but devoid of love. He didn’t know what love felt like, nor how to love soone, until he t Qin Sisi.

It’s just a pity that he t her too late.

Qin Sisi’s gaze fell on Jiu Ge’s snow-white hair, her eyes revealing a sorrowful emotion. She wanted to say sothing but didn’t know where to start.

Jiu Ge felt the sympathy in Qin Sisi’s eyes. He smiled indifferently and said, "It’s okay; this look suits

now."

Qin Sisi didn’t know whether Jiu Ge truly didn’t mind or was just comforting her, so she echoed his tone and said, "You’re good-looking; you’ll look good no matter what."

Jiu Ge smiled. He had once cared greatly about his appearance, using it as a tool to attract won. But now, he felt it wasn’t that important anymore.

"Can you really destroy Midair City overnight?" Qin Sisi carefully posed the question.

Jiu Ge felt a pang of sorrow. He knew very well that a significant reason Qin Sisi agreed to et him was because he threatened Ye You, claiming he could destroy Midair City overnight.

But now that Qin Sisi had asked, of course, he would answer.

"I can. Do you believe ?" Jiu Ge asked fervently, his eyes shining.

Qin Sisi blinked and nodded, replying, "I believe you."

She really did believe Jiu Ge had the capability. Firstly, because while Jiu Ge was sowhat arrogant, he wasn’t boastful. Secondly, as the longti rulers of Midair City, the Changkong family must deeply understand the city.

Jiu Ge was satisfied with Qin Sisi’s response. He explained solemnly, "Midair City is a desert city. The ground is covered in thick dunes or gravel, which is why the ancestors of the Changkong family thought to use Wind Attribute Magic Power to lift the buildings into midair, avoiding the harsh environnt below."

Qin Sisi looked at Jiu Ge in confusion, not understanding what this had to do with the destruction of Midair City.

Jiu Ge continued, "The Changkong family’s intrinsic attribute is Wind Attribute. A windstorm can sweep up sand to obscure the sky and bury everything. With my Magic Power, if I sacrificed my life, I could summon a massive storm, lifting the endless sand below and burying Midair City entirely under the sand overnight, causing it to disappear from this world forever."

Qin Sisi was startled, her tone heavy as she said, "You wouldn’t do that."

Jiu Ge glanced at her and sighed, "Not unless I have no other choice. This is my holand."

Qin Sisi bit her lip. She realized Jiu Ge never really intended to destroy Midair City. The reason he deliberately said that to Ye You was rely to ensure she would co to et him.

"Let

play the zither for you." Jiu Ge seed unwilling to say more and proposed playing a tune.

Qin Sisi felt unsettled inside and nodded her agreent directly.

Jiu Ge picked up the Fairy Snow Zither, his slender fingers plucking the strings to play Snow Jade Flower for Qin Sisi.

His Music Magic aptitude was decent, but he hadn’t specialized in Music Magic. The tune he composed himself was relatively simple in lody, but the sound was crisp and the rhythm was graceful. If one listened closely, it carried an unadorned charm.

When Qin Sisi arrived, it was evening. Jiu Ge played from evening until nightfall, and continued playing through the night until dawn.

When the first ray of morning sunlight shone upon them, Jiu Ge stopped playing, turned his head to Qin Sisi, and said, "Qin Sisi, let

ask you a question. Why did you co to see ? Was it for Ye You, or for Midair City?"

Qin Sisi replied warmly, "Both. And one more reason — because you helped

before. You are my friend."

Jiu Ge’s eyes lit up briefly, and he said in a low voice, "Good. That’s enough."

He handed the Fairy Snow Zither to Qin Sisi and said, "Take it. It’s for you."

Qin Sisi shook her head and declined, "I can’t. It’s too precious."

Jiu Ge’s fingers brushed across the Fairy Snow Zither as he said softly, "Take it. It’s all I can give you, even as repaynt for teaching

to play."

Seeing his sincerity and glancing at his snow-white hair, Qin Sisi couldn’t bear to refuse anymore. She accepted the Fairy Snow Zither in her hands and said, "Thank you."

Jiu Ge smiled lightly and said aloud, "Qin Sisi, you can leave now. No matter what you beco in the future, you will always be my friend."

"Okay," Qin Sisi responded softly, her eyes tinged with acidity. "Take care."

Jiu Ge gazed at her without speaking.
