When she first met Long Qianling, she didn't care about her experiences at all, but things are different now.
They spent a full 30,000 years together in the Abyss of Evil, and finally understood what had happened to her.
It is such a pity that a generation of geniuses was wiped out and sealed away.
She had just come of age at that time, and Hu Ruo didn't consider herself to be an irredeemable person. When she watched Long Qianling try to break through the seal in the Abyss of Evil time and time again, failing time and time again until she became numb, she actually began to feel sorry for this little kid.
Until that time, the appearance of that fox-clan boy, until she helped him time and time again, until she broke the seal, time and time again, Hu Ruo understood that he was very important to Long Qianling, even more important than herself.
If Long Qianling treated him like a precious treasure, it would be more accurate to say that he was her salvation.
Everyone looked at Hu Ruo, including Bai Qingnian.
When he met Hu Ruo's reddened eyes, he gently pushed Zhi Yan away, stepped down from the throne, and reached out to help her up.
“But I am not the Venerable One you speak of, and I… am not in love with her. To me, we were merely master and disciple for a very short time.”
"No, that's not what you really think! You actually care about the Venerable One, you're lying!" Hu Ruo retorted loudly.
"You..." Bai Qingnian started to say something, but didn't know how to respond.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Enough, Hu Ruo!"
Before Hu Ruo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Long Qianling.
“Your Excellency…” Hu Ruo looked at Long Qianling and realized that she had spoken out of turn.
"You can leave now. I won't bother you anymore."
Long Qianling didn't even look at Bai Qingnian. He raised his hand and made a slit, his voice carrying a chill.
Bai Qingnian was taken aback and looked at Long Qianling, but he could only see her profile. He did not see the emotions in her eyes at that moment.
But the others saw it and saw loneliness, confusion, and restraint—a mixture of emotions that made it difficult to understand her feelings at that moment. However, they knew that she must be feeling very bad.
"I really can't find you, little fox..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Long Qianling's figure disappeared before their eyes, and the gap also disappeared along with her.
Everyone in the hall was stunned. Only Bai Yaoguang gave Bai Qingnian a meaningful look before pulling Long Ling away.
It seems she has mastered the art of feigning helplessness; no wonder she is the most talented among the dragons!
“Nian Nian…” Zhi Yan looked at Bai Qing Nian, who was standing at the entrance of the main hall, with red eyes and a worried expression.
Will I stop bothering him?
Why did his heart ache so much when she said those words?
Wait, his heart? Wasn't his heart ripped out?
Why does he feel heartache now?
No, he had to go find Ah Ling and get to the bottom of this!
Without saying a word, Bai Qingnian transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the main hall.
"Year after year!"
"Baby!"
"Your Majesty!"
The group wanted to chase after them to break the deadlock, but Ming Yuyin stopped them.
"Don't worry, he should go find Long Qianling. Besides, Long Qianling doesn't really want him to return to the cultivation world. Didn't you see that she's closed all the gaps? Let's wait. Perhaps they will be able to merge soon, and the real Bai Qingnian will be able to return."
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks.
The real Bai Qingnian she spoke of was not the unconscious little fox, nor the Bai Qingnian who went after Long Qianling, but the Bai Qingnian whose two halves of the soul had merged.
That is the complete Bai Qingnian!
On the other side, Bai Qingnian followed the scent left behind by Long Qianling 'accidentally' and finally found her in a secluded valley.
Long Qianling stood with her back to him, and in his eyes, she exuded a faint sadness.
"Ah Ling..." Bai Qing called out softly.
Long Qianling trembled slightly, but did not turn around. "What are you doing here? I told you I wouldn't bother you anymore."
Bai Qingnian pursed her lips and walked forward: "I will leave, but not now..."
Long Qianling's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly, veins bulging, which Bai Qingnian could see clearly.
She asked with some concern, "Are you... alright?"
"Don't bother, I'm fine."
Long Qianling's words were distant, but since she had her back to Bai Qingnian, he didn't see the smile on her face.
She knew that as long as she pretended, the little fox would obediently walk into her trap.
Dragons are ruthless! Dragons are just that evil!
Bai Qingnian pursed his thin lips and walked directly to Long Qianling, standing face to face with her.
The moment Long Qianling heard him take a step and walk over, the smile on her face vanished, and she straightened up. When she met Bai Qingnian's gaze, her red eyes held a restrained love that Bai Qingnian could clearly see.
Of course, this was something Long Qianling deliberately showed him, otherwise how could she make him understand how deeply she loved him?
"You understood what I said, right? I won't stay here, and I don't love you. We are two different people in the end..." Bai Qingnian's voice grew softer and softer. Why did his heart ache so much when he looked into Long Qianling's eyes and said these words?
Long Qianling gave a bitter smile, a smile that seemed forced. "I know, I understand."
Bai Qingnian looked at her, remained silent for a while, and then asked about his feelings.
