"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, the majestic voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out. Long Qianling swiftly flew to block the Ice Lotus, his face blank as he stared intently at the Heavenly Dao that appeared before him.

The Heavenly Dao finally took human form, its face filled with rage.

She never expected that she would actually come to her own Chaos Land and take her only two Ice Lotuses, all in order to revive that fox.

Has her obsession with him reached this level? Even without her memories...?

She didn't understand what emotions were; all she knew was that as the ruler of the Six Realms, Long Qianling should love all living beings, not just one person.

Looking at Long Qianling, who was staring at him warily, Tiandao frowned, his gaze falling on Bai Qingnian, who was gradually recovering behind her, and said:

“The mission cannot be abandoned. If you abandon him, I will no longer attack him, nor will I hold it against you for taking the Ice Lotus to save him without permission.”

Long Qianling's expression shifted slightly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who decided that protecting one person means you can't protect all living beings?"

"You yourself said that you cannot guarantee fair treatment of all beings in the six realms forever."

"What if I don't want to be this guardian?"

"It's destined! You have no choice but to accept it!"

“But you’ve never asked me if I was willing.” Long Qianling’s voice turned cold.

The Heavenly Dao, enraged, laughed, "You think you can escape fate? You were born to be the ruler of the Six Realms, and protecting all living beings in the Six Realms is your mission, without question! Your choice is irrelevant."

Long Qianling clenched her fists, her red eyes coldly staring at the Heavenly Dao. "Although I was born to be the ruler of the Six Realms, and it is my mission to protect all living beings, I am also an independent individual. Why should I be bound by so-called fate?"

Perhaps I loved him deeply before you erased my memories, which is why I etched his name into my soul. Therefore, because I love him, I must protect him, and I will not abandon any living being in the six realms.

The Heavenly Dao narrowed its eyes, its surrounding aura pressing down, "You can only choose one: him or the common people, and you can only choose the common people!"

Long Qianling's wooden face suddenly broke into a cold laugh. "Since the Heavenly Dao is so domineering and tyrannical, then I will defy the Heavenly Dao today and break this damned mission!" As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful force erupted from her body, and her clothes fluttered.

She could protect Bai Qingnian, and she could protect all living beings under heaven. But the will of heaven is pressing in so relentlessly, so what do the living beings under heaven have to do with her?

The Heavenly Dao coldly snorted, "Everything you have is a gift from me. Do you think you can contend with me?" As soon as he finished speaking, the oppressive aura intensified.

Long Qianling gritted her teeth and endured the pressure, barely managing to stay upright and not kneel down.

"Heartless, stop being so stubborn."

"You're the one who's stubbornly clinging to your delusions!" Blood trickled from the corner of Long Qianling's mouth, but he still couldn't help but kneel down on one knee with a thud.

"In that case, I have no choice but to erase your consciousness and turn you into a puppet without self-awareness. Ruthless, don't blame me for being too cruel."

A hint of heartache flashed in Tiandao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Her oppressive aura rendered Long Qianling unable to move. The next moment, she slowly raised her hand, and golden light shot out, heading straight for Long Qianling's face.

Long Qianling slightly opened her red eyes, trying to dodge, but she couldn't control her body and could only watch helplessly as the golden light rushed towards her.

Just as he was about to hit her, a black eggshell flew out from nowhere and blocked the golden light.

Long Qianling was stunned for a moment.

Heavenly Dao was also taken aback for a moment.

"Since you don't know how to govern, then you don't need to exist anymore!"

A soft, childlike voice rang out, but upon closer listening, the voice was actually filled with anger.

A moment later, a small figure in black appeared in front of Long Qianling and shielded her behind him.

Looking at the little thing that had suddenly appeared, Long Qianling felt his blood boil.

This is... the aura of bloodline!

This little thing... is it her offspring?!

She has offspring?!

Heaven knows that Long Qianling has offspring, but shouldn't she still be an egg? How could she have hatched so quickly?

What on earth is going on?!

As if sensing Long Qianling's gaze, the little girl turned around and met her red eyes.

Long Qianling was stunned when he saw her face.

Isn't this a miniature version of her? Except her eyes are blue, just like Bai Qingnian's.

The little boy looked at her, his eyes instantly reddened, and he burst into tears, rushing into the arms of Long Qianling, who was still under the oppressive aura.

"Mother... Waaah, I almost couldn't find you. Father said he would wait for you to come back, but Father is gone too... Waaah, I can't find you. Do you not want me anymore?"

A soft, warm touch came from within Long Qianling's arms, and for a moment, she was at a loss. Hearing the little one in her arms crying so hard, she spoke in a stiff voice:

"Don't cry, I'm right here."

"It was because of blood ties that Dandan found his mother. Otherwise, you really wouldn't have come home and would have really abandoned Dandan. Mother is bad! Dandan hates his mother the most."

"I'm sorry..." Long Qianling patted the little man's back stiffly to comfort him, but his mind was filled with many thoughts.

She and this little creature do indeed share the same bloodline, which explains her identity.

She... is my child with Bai Qingnian.

"Egg, don't be sorry. Egg wants Mommy and Daddy to stay with me forever." The little boy looked at her with red, teary eyes.

Long Qianling felt a pang of pain in her heart, and subconsciously reached out to stroke her fluffy head, her voice softening, "Okay."

"Mmm." The little boy nodded repeatedly, only then noticing that his mother's face looked a little pale and there was still blood at the corner of her mouth. He frowned and asked, "Mother, did she bully you? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Egg will fight back for you!"

"wait……"

Long Qianling was about to speak to stop it, but she saw that the little thing completely ignored the pressure of the Heavenly Dao and its figure flashed back to its original form.

It was a small dragon with blue eyes and black scales.

The Heavenly Dao was also quite surprised that this little thing could move freely and unimpeded within her oppressive aura.

What exactly happened?

Just as she was lost in thought, a dragon's roar, unique to the young dragon, rang out.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the child's voice again.

"Anyone who bullies Egg's mother and father is a big bad guy!"

swish swish swish —

The little man rushes towards the Heavenly Dao, his small body bursting forth with tremendous power.

Upon seeing this, Long Qianling's expression changed. She stood up despite the oppressive aura and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. However, she did not stop and flew after the little man.

She absolutely could not let her get hurt! Bai Qingnian had already died once for her, and she had to protect her and his child!
