But then, after we got rid of those annoying guys, this group of people came.

It's a bit annoying.

Especially that delicate girl, why is she looking at her with such an adoring expression? Shouldn't she be looking at Song Yan?

"Do as you please." Wei Wenru said this and left, only to be met by Song Yan.

"Wenru..." he called out to Wei Wenru tenderly, his eyes looking pitiful, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Wei Wenru couldn't help but frown.

"Song Yan, what's wrong with you?" Wei Wenru couldn't help but sigh. It had only been a few days since they last met, why did he look so aggrieved?

Nian Wanzhou and Lexi came running over again. The two of them were in cahoots, staring at Song Yan, waiting to see how he would explain himself.

“Wenru, it was wrong of me to run away with that woman. I shouldn’t have acted so impulsively. I apologize to you. I didn’t do a good job and disrespected you. I am willing to accept the punishment for this.” Song Yan said earnestly, his deep eyes full of sincerity.

Wei Wenru couldn't help but chuckle; he really dared to say such things.

Although he wasn't angry anymore, his apologetic look showed no sign of being a senior brother, which was both funny and exasperating.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. I'm punishing you by making you stay in the Ten Thousand Swords Cave for a month. You're not allowed to come out without my permission." After Wei Wenru finished speaking, she smiled kindly, her eyes curving into two lines, her shallow dimples extremely beautiful.

Song Yan was stunned, but he said, "Senior Sister is angry."

He was willing to accept the punishment.

"Okay, let's go then. My injury is much better, and my mind is clearer. Also... Wanwan is ignoring me too." Song Yan looked at Wei Wenru pitifully, his eyes filled with even more affection.

Finally, he got a gentle pat on the head from Wei Wenru.

Lexi: Why can't I do this? It's not fair! I'm so angry!

This time it was Aunt Nian Wanzhou's turn to laugh. Hehehe, she picked up the injured Lexi and ran away, not letting this meddlesome second senior brother cause trouble.

"Let me go!" Lexi was extremely uncomfortable being carried away and shouted loudly.

Wei Wenru nudged the man next to her: "Hey, did you see that? Wanwan's attitude towards Lexi, and the way they get along, doesn't it seem like a pair of bickering lovers?"

Song Yan stared at it for a long time and realized that it really did have that feel to it!

“They look so alike, those two, could it be…” Song Yan’s eyes became ambiguous, as if he had thought of something, “You wouldn’t be thinking of setting them up, would you?”

Wei Wenru pondered, "It's not really matchmaking. They seem like kids to me. It's Lexi, so I guess there's something going on. He doesn't seem to understand his own feelings, and he keeps following me around. I think he probably has feelings for me."

The two of them suddenly started discussing this.

While Nan Yu and his group were still scavenging for demon cores, bones, and other items, Nian Wanzhou and Le Xi were bickering everywhere, giving off a genuine "loving each other" vibe and having a great time.

As Wei Wenru and Song Yan discussed, their eyes never left the two troublemakers. They whispered among themselves, occasionally stealing glances at them. Seeing them bickering and joking around, they actually found it quite sweet.

I used to think they were just being immature and making a fuss every day.

Now, looking at it from a different angle, well, the taste is different; it's become sweet.

The way they get along seems really fun.

Thinking this, Wei Wenru couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her laughing inexplicably, Song Yan carefully took her little finger and asked, "Wenru, what are you laughing at?"

"I just think it's really fun. The way they get along is so much more energetic than us. I wonder... what will happen to them in the future." Wei Wenru suddenly looked forward to the future and wondered what her second junior brother would do.

Things that no one paid attention to before seem to have changed now.

Xiao Tiandao: It wasn't me who did it, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see through it. As for why? Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.

...

When they finished packing everything, their rings and storage bags were full, and even Ruan Su and others who came later had a lot to gain.

Therefore, they all kept this favor in their hearts.

Ruan Qianqian would occasionally move closer to Wei Wenru, and with each step closer, she could sense Wei Wenru's increasing delight.

Before leaving, Nian Wanzhou had a talk with her.

"I know your soul is the Vermilion Bird. What is your purpose in getting close to my senior brothers and sisters?"

The bloodline suppression was back, and the closer they got, the more Nico Wanzhou deliberately increased her intimidation.

This caused Ruan Qianqian great pain.

"Ah! Okay, okay, don't get too close, it hurts!" Ruan Qianqian covered her head and backed away, but the little girl in front of her wouldn't let her go.

"I just wanted to get close to those with such powerful auras and bask in their golden light. I had no other purpose. White Dragon, you, you have to believe me!" Ruan Qianqian was inexplicably afraid of the dragon in front of her, which was still underage, and the thought of submitting arose in her mind.

That's absurd!

Then she surprisingly began to spill the beans, explaining her background in great detail: "I am the last Vermilion Bird to fall. I unexpectedly obtained a treasure that preserved a wisp of my soul, which later possessed this woman's body."

I did nothing immoral. The woman was already dead before I entered her body, and I did so with her consent.

In order to rebuild my soul and body, I need to stay near people with extremely strong fortune to borrow their power to repair my soul. Your senior sister and brother have the strongest fortune I've ever seen, which is why I want to seduce them and beg to stay by their side.”

Nian Wanzhou was momentarily stunned. Wait, why does this person say everything?

She rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought, with an expression that suggested she didn't believe her.

However, it seems that the opponent has been suppressed by him and is now painfully covering his head and hiding. It seems that the dragon race is really powerful.

"Then by leveraging someone else's power, aren't you just stealing their luck? You can't do that!" She had secretly read those cultivation novels and transmigration novels.

What's with this "lucky charm" trope where the female lead steals other people's opportunities and becomes the first to ascend to immortality?

Nian Wanzhou found it outrageous. It was clearly someone else's destiny, and you came here and tried to take it from them, even harming them. That's immoral!

Koi fish are believed to absorb the luck of others, causing them to die or have their families destroyed.

That's utterly despicable.

"I...I wouldn't do that. I borrowed their help to make the Heavenly Dao spare me, so they wouldn't punish me with lightning, and then I could repair myself with my own power. I really wouldn't hurt anyone, sob sob sob...Can you please stop suppressing me? I'm an old guy who's been around for thousands of years, when have I ever suffered like this!"

"Even those old dragons wouldn't treat me like this before. Who...who exactly are you?" Ruan Qianqian's head was throbbing, and she rattled off a lot of things.

Then he fell to the ground and rolled around.

Startled, Nian Wanzhou quickly composed herself; the scene was truly frightening. However, she also learned some things.

There were reasons for the fall of the Vermilion Bird clan, as were those of the Dragon clan.
