Wu Yue had considered that she had some small tools that she could try one by one, and eventually one of them would be able to blast the mountain open. Once there was a breach, things would be much easier.

As for Jiahe's intractable silver chains, they should also be—

Friends!

Jiahe roared, startling the bluebird on the roof, which crashed into the dragon eaves.

Long Jingyuan asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Jiahe?"

Jiahe stared in disbelief, stammering, "Ayu... he brought this little kid, and he's eating a silver chain. The chain... it's broken..."

"So that's why!" Long Jingyuan stood up excitedly.

"So there's no need to blast the mountain." Yan Chiyu continued unhurriedly. He had already sent Lu Shu and Wen Yao here to try before, but the two of them were completely helpless against the silver chains. No matter how many methods they tried, they couldn't destroy them even a little bit.

But now.

The three of them stared intently at the child with the spiky pigtail who was eating with great relish, all finding the matter shocking.

As Tianlie's master, Wuyue felt proud: "This child has very good teeth."

Upon hearing this, Jiahe couldn't help but burst out laughing first, and her laughter infected everyone, causing them to laugh involuntarily as well.

Tian Lie, who was silently gnawing on the chain, continued to move forward and gnaw, his face full of satisfaction, his little belly bulging round.

Look how hungry the child is!

The Witch God's pet is... just awesome!

[Xiao Tianlie can eat so much! He drank a lot of milk in the car and ate two big buckets of KFC.]

[Be careful, one day the witch god might not be able to afford to keep it and throw it away; it's too expensive!]

The comments section is my source of joy, hahaha.

[Tianlie: It's okay, I have poop (?＞︶＜)?]

[Hey bro, you've been secretly spending money on in-game purchases again behind our backs!!]

[Congratulations to the Witch God! He no longer needs to blow up mountains, and he's no longer afraid of going to jail! lol]

Jiahe sat on the steps for a while before slowly and straightening up.

She was finally, finally free.

Long Jingyuan strode toward the girl without even taking the guide cane that was placed on the stone table. He was so anxious and eager.

"Ahhh! Longlong!"

Jiahe excitedly pounced on Long Jingyuan, who hadn't even gotten close yet. Long Jingyuan lost his balance and they both fell to the ground. Their backs were pressed against the cool snow, but their chests felt as warm as if they were hiding the July sun.

"Longlong, I'm so happy..."

"Yes, I'm happy for you too." His deep, ethereal eyes slowly closed, his brows curving into a gentle smile. His jade-colored hand softly patted the girl's back, tenderly and carefully.

"Longlong, I want to go back to the East Sea! I can finally go back!" Jiahe hugged Long Jingyuan tightly.

Long Jingyuan's hand slowly stopped, and the smile on his face froze into ice and snow in that instant.

He said softly, "The East China Sea seems very far away... very far away."

Jiahe peeked out from his arms and said with a smile, "Longlong, come back with me! I want to introduce you to my family."

"I'm sorry, Jiahe. I can't go to the East Sea with you."

Jiahe was bound by only a silver chain, but he was bound by the entire capital city. He could neither leave nor go anywhere.

"Why?" The girl was taken aback.

"Jiahe, get up first. What's the point of keeping Longlong pinned down like this?" Yan Chiyu interjected from the side, his eyes darkening, but his tone remained as lazy and unrestrained as ever: "Look at yourself, how much weight you've gained while you've been locked up!"

"You stinky A-Yu, how could you say a girl is fat? I'm not!" Jiahe cursed as she got up from the ground. After standing still, she quickly helped Long Jingyuan up with Yan Chiyu.
