Chapter 267 Extra Chapter: The Celestial Prince 4

When the music ended, Rong Chen opened the door and said, "You can leave now."

Luo Qiu was stunned. So that was a farewell song?

Seeing her dazed expression, Rong Chen smiled gently, "Qiu'er, are you reluctant to part with me?"

Luo Qiu vehemently denied it: "No."

Rong Chen ignored her attitude and said in a desolate tone, "Qiu'er, the demons are invading, and I must lead my troops into battle."

A sense of unease inexplicably rose in Luo Qiu's heart. "Then... I wish Your Highness a great victory..."

Rong Chen curled his lips into a bitter smile. He had given her all the protective scales; he wasn't as strong as before. He couldn't tell his father, the Heavenly Clan's Crown Prince, that he had to set an example. But none of that mattered anymore…

He looked down at her, his voice soft, "If...if I died...would Qiu'er be even a little sad..."

Before Luo Qiu could answer, Rong Chen stopped looking at her and said coldly, "Leave now. Hasn't Qiu'er wanted to leave for a long time?"

Luo Qiu wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything and left with Xiao Bai in her arms.

Rong Chen kept watching her retreating figure. Her steps were unwavering, and she never looked back. He turned his gaze away, looking at the golden cage, as if he were waking from a mad and absurd dream. (LeWen Novel Network)

Perhaps being able to see her every day during this period would be enough to cherish for a lifetime...

After leaving Qingyou Palace, Luo Qiu returned to her previous life, planting flowers and making honey, only occasionally hearing the music she had heard that day.

A little fairy attendant said to her, "Fairy Luoqiu, where have you been lately? Lord Yangxi comes to look for you every day, but he can't find you, yet he still persists..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Xi walked in, looking at Luo Qiu with great concern, "Fairy Luo Qiu, you've finally appeared..."

After saying that, he tried to take her hand.

Luo Qiu instinctively dodged and bowed, "Immortal Lord Yangxi."

Yang Xi's hand paused in mid-air. He withdrew his hand and smiled indifferently, "Fairy Luo Qiu, let me help you water the flowers."

Luo Qiu refused, but Yang Xi wouldn't listen, so Luo Qiu had no choice but to let him have his way.

As they spent more time together, their relationship grew closer.

That day, Yang Xi approached Luo Qiu and said, "Fairy Luo Qiu, today is my birthday. May I invite you for a chat?"

Luo Qiu had no choice but to agree.

That night, Luo Qiu came to Yang Xi's courtyard and found that she was the only one who had attended the banquet.

She looked at the table laden with fine wines and spirits, then asked Yang Xi curiously, "Didn't the Immortal Lord invite any other fairies?"

Yang Xi poured her some wine, saying, "Having Fairy Luo Qiu is enough. Come and try my brewed sake."

Luo Qiu had no suspicions, took a small sip, and soon her consciousness began to blur.

"Fairy Luoqiu".

Yang Xi called out several times, but there was no response. He laughed, "After all these days, you haven't shown any emotion. I have no choice but to resort to force..."

He gathered blue light in his hand, intending to pluck the petals from Luo Qiu's true form.

Before he could even make a move, he was blasted away by the powerful silver light.

Yang Xi clutched her chest, staring in shock at the true dragon aura emanating from Luo Qiu. Someone was actually protecting her!

He recalled Rong Chen's blood-stained chest when they first met, and murmured to himself, "So that's how it is..."

He narrowed his eyes. Even so, he was determined to expose Luo Qiu's true form!

His lover can't wait much longer...

Luo Qiu was awakened by a sharp pain. She saw Yang Xi stabbing her abdomen with a dagger.

She pushed him away forcefully. "What...are you going to do?"

Yang Xi smiled sinisterly, "I want the petals of your true form."

Luo Qiu kept backing away, "Why?"

Yang Xi laughed loudly, his handsome face contorting. "I've always wanted to. That day, I originally planned to push you into the refining pool and wait until you were almost melted before pulling you out to make it easier to extract the petals of your true form. Unfortunately, Rong Chen saved you. I originally intended to slowly build a good relationship with you and lower your guard, but then you disappeared for a long time. Now I can't wait any longer, so you must die today!"

"Rong Chen... was it His Highness the Crown Prince who saved me?" Luo Qiu was stunned and stood there in shock.

No wonder…

She felt that His Highness's face was familiar...

The one swimming towards her that day was His Highness…

Her heart was struck hard, and she could hardly breathe.

Yang Xi used magic to control Luo Qiu, "Alright, you should die now!"

Just as Yang Xi was about to continue his attack, a flash of cold light shattered his dagger.

Luo Qiu fell into a warm embrace, feeling a warm current flow over her abdomen. She looked up and saw Rong Chen healing her wounds. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, you're back..."

Wearing armor, Rong Chen seemed to have just returned from the battlefield. He gently comforted her, "Qiu'er, it's alright."

Yang Xi could tell that Rong Chen was seriously injured. He shouted sternly, "Your Highness, you can't protect her now. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You can't hurt her." Rong Chen stood up, his sharp eyes fixed on Yang Xi.

Yang Xi's hands trembled slightly. If he injured the Crown Prince, the Heavenly Emperor would definitely not let him off. He dared not make a move for the moment. "She's just a little fairy. What kind of fairy doesn't Your Highness want?"

Despite the pain all over his body, Rong Chen stood protectively in front of Luo Qiu, saying, "I will protect her. No one is allowed to hurt her!"

Yang Xi pondered for a moment. He also had people he wanted to bring back to life. If he killed the Crown Prince, he could simply descend to the mortal realm and become a demon. He didn't want to waste any more words and took direct action.

Luo Qiu watched as the two powerful beams of light attacked each other, but they were moving too fast for her to see clearly.

Rong Chen was quickly defeated. He knelt on the ground with his sword stuck in his throat, spitting out blood. His pale lips were stained crimson with blood.

Luo Qiu stepped forward and grabbed Rong Chen, tears streaming down her face. "Your Highness, it's alright, I'll heal him. Your Highness can't get hurt again..."

Rong Chen smiled gently at her and softly coaxed her, "Qiu'er, I'm fine."

Soon Yang Xi attacked again, and Rong Chen barely managed to meet her attacks head-on.

Until he could no longer lift the sword.

As Yang Xi approached step by step, Luo Qiu pleaded, "I'll give you the petals of my true form, please don't kill His Highness, okay?"

"It's too late." Yang Xi's face was stained with blood. "Rong Chen has already been injured. We can only kill him and not let him live."

Rong Chen gently took Luo Qiu's hand, "If we got to know each other again, would Qiu'er fall in love with me?"

Luo Qiu cried uncontrollably, "I will, I will! Your Highness, please don't die..."

"Qiu'er...don't be sad..." Rong Chen smiled contentedly, "Don't worry, I will protect you..."

He murmured softly, "There are no 'what ifs'... It's a pity I can't wait any longer..."

Luo Qiu didn't understand what it meant, but an ancient magic circle lit up on Rong Chen's body.

Yang Xi looked at Rong Chen in horror, "Are you crazy?"

A method that defies the heavens, burning away all life force, leaving not even a soul behind.

Soon Yang Xi could no longer speak; he died before he even had time to wail.

At this moment, Rong Chen was covered in blood. He tried to force a smile, wanting to walk up to Luo Qiu and tell her that everything was alright, that he had protected her, but he didn't even have the strength to move.

Luo Qiu's heart felt like it was being torn apart; the pain made her tremble all over. She stumbled to Rong Chen's side, wanting to reach out and touch him, but he turned into countless points of light and disappeared before her eyes...

A tremendous dragon roar resounded, and the Heavenly Emperor rushed over. Seeing Rong Chen's soul fragments scattered into countless points of light, he collected them and nurtured them in the Three Thousand Worlds.

(This is a story from before the quick transmigration. The poor Crown Prince had been in love with someone for a long time, so in the mission world, he would be especially happy as long as the female lead liked him even a little bit.)
