Outside the cave.
Seeing that Wen Shanbai had emerged unharmed, the 'things' couldn't help but show expressions of disappointment, unable to accept that this person was actually still alive.
How could he be alive?
How could he be alive?
They were just a hair's breadth away from truly gaining that readily available freedom.
Wen Shanbai naturally sensed the malice emanating from his surroundings, but he was in a good mood today and did not want to cause any trouble.
So he decided to reward them.
An extremely dense 'dark' power instantly pressed down on those 'things', and before long, they were as if dead, no longer moving.
Wen Shanbai stopped: It seems I gave too much.
After being dragged for nearly a hundred meters, Yan Li finally realized that Wen Shanbai was serious.
Is he serious?
He's actually going to take me to find that evil dragon?
But soon, doubts arose in Yan Li's mind again.
Would Wen Shanbai really be so kind?
He wouldn't lock himself in some other dark room, would he?
Thinking of this possibility, Yan Li looked up at Wen Shanbai, who was walking ahead of her, and said, "Xiao Bai, actually I'm not in such a hurry."
She unusually wanted to postpone it.
Perhaps Wen Shanbai acted too readily.
There must be something fishy going on.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shanbai did not stop upon hearing this; instead, he gripped Yan Li's hand even tighter.
"Ah Li, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If I don't take you to see it today, do you expect me to wait until you recover your spiritual power before bringing you here?"
Stop dreaming.
The reason Wen Shanbai suddenly agreed was simply because Yan Li was just a newbie at the moment.
He couldn't even summon his own natal magic weapon.
Only by bringing the person there would she have no intention of fighting back.
Yan Li didn't expect Wen Shanbai to guess her little scheme so quickly.
Is it that obvious?
That doesn't make sense.
Before Yan Li could think further, Wen Shanbai suddenly stopped.
"Ah Li, remember not to let go of my hand later." His tone was unusually emotional. "Otherwise, if I catch you, I will definitely lock you up."
He didn't want to take her inside later, so she recklessly rushed forward.
Thinking of this, he slightly raised his eyes and placed them on her feet.
"Break their legs."
Seemingly worried that simply locking her up wouldn't stop her, he couldn't help but add another sentence.
Yan Li suddenly felt everything go black.
At this moment, she genuinely felt a bit more regret.
Wen Shanbai reached out and covered Yan Li's eyes, then slowly leaned down and kissed her lips.
Yan Li's eyes were completely covered, so she couldn't see Wen Shanbai's underhanded dealings at all.
Not long after.
Wen Shanbai slowly moved his hand away.
Yan Li then realized that she had entered a place similar to meson space.
What came into view was endless darkness, yet there seemed to be a white light.
She raised her eyes slightly and finally saw the evil dragon imprisoned by four towering pillars.
It curled up on that wide platform, its tail swaying slightly.
Yan Li almost instinctively wanted to move forward, but she had only taken one step when she was pulled back by the person next to her. "Ah Li, are you going to break your promise?"
"I still feel that since I don't have to go back alive, I don't need to worry about me breaking your leg."
In the past few months of spending time with Wen Shanbai, Yan Li had learned about his sharp tongue for the first time.
But unexpectedly, there's always someone better, and he managed to break through his own limits once again.
"I just wanted to take a look, I didn't mean to do anything." Yan Li squeezed his hand back. "Look, I'm still holding your hand, aren't I?"
Although Yan Li said this, she was still somewhat puzzled.
The evil dragon in front of her was clearly sealed away. If she had wanted to kill it when she first arrived, it would have been very easy.
“Ali, this seal is tied to the abyss.”
"If you are to slay the evil dragon, the seal will cease to exist, and the abyss will also disappear."
"Everything that survives in the abyss will be reduced to nothingness, with no possibility of survival."
Wen Shanbai had already decided to speak his mind completely today, so naturally he wouldn't leave anything unsaid. He suddenly reached out, pinched her chin, and kissed her lightly once again.
"Ah Li, I'm actually not that afraid of dying."
"But I can't bear to part with Ali so soon after we met."
Yan Li's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Why didn't you say so before?"
If the price of slaying the dragon is the death of innocent people, then what is the point of her slaying the dragon?
She suddenly came to her senses and realized that her mission had never mentioned slaying the dragon, but rather finding it.
However, since this evil dragon is sealed away, it shouldn't endanger the stability of the human world.
If that's the case, why is her task still not showing as completed?
Is it because the evil dragon is not yet dead and there is still a safety hazard?
"If I tell Ali, will Ali be willing to give up slaying the dragon because of me?" Wen Shanbai asked, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at her with a hint of expectation.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li snapped out of her daze and replied without hesitation, "Yes, of course I will."
"If I can't protect you, what's the point of slaying this evil dragon?"
In fact, Yan Li had already given Wen Shanbai this answer from the very beginning.
Tell her where the dragon is, and she will slay it, bring it out of the abyss, and let it live a normal life.
Go and feel the dawn and dew, the midnight and dusk...
Until the truth came to light, Yan Li never changed her mind. In her opinion, no one should live in the abyss.
Therefore, she did not choose to kill him that night, not only because she was afraid of losing the opportunity to find the dragon, but also because she genuinely wanted to take him away.
She couldn't imagine how long Wen Shanbai had been down there, and she didn't dare to ask him easily.
Wen Shanbai did not expect to hear such an answer from Yan Li.
He paused for a moment, and after what seemed like an eternity, he tightened his grip on Yan Li's hand: "So, in A Li's heart, I am that important?"
"certainly."
Wen Shanbai couldn't help but laugh to himself as he thought about it.
Wen Ci, what kind of beautiful dream are you having? Who would really be willing to give their heart to someone who has been abandoned? It's nothing but pretense and deception.
Looking at Yan Li, who didn't seem to be lying, he gently lifted her chin, his gaze becoming even deeper, and said softly, "It's best if A Li isn't lying to me, otherwise, what I'm going to do for A Li is destined not to win her favor."
Perhaps break her legs, or perhaps go even further and rip out her heart.
Yan Li: Really? She rarely speaks her mind, and she got warned?
As Wen Shanbai led the stiff-limbed Yan Li out again, the previously sleeping dragon also woke up, tears streaming from its eyes.
They've gone mad and gone blind.
He was clearly the evil spirit who deserved to die the most; he was certainly not innocent. But was he innocent?
