Long Qianling pursed her lips, her red eyes staring intently at Bai Qingnian.
Bai Qingnian stepped onto a step and took Long Qianling's hand. "Big Black Dragon, now that my soul has returned to its rightful place, I must settle all matters concerning the people and affairs of the cultivation world."
Long Qianling looked down at their clasped hands, then looked up at Bai Qingnian again, "I'll go with you."
"good."
Bai Qingnian nodded, the two smiled at each other, and left with Hu Ruo. Bai Yaoguang and Ming Yuyin quickly followed.
They also wanted to see who this cultivator who dared to venture alone into the Dragon Palace of the Demon Realm was.
Soon, the group arrived at the Dragon Palace's dungeon. The vast dungeon was only occupied by the cultivators who had just tried to break in.
After all, given Long Qianling's personality, he wouldn't be so kind as to lock them up; he would just kill them outright.
Hu Ruo opened the magic array in the cell, and the group went inside. They immediately saw the badly injured Baili Qing.
Hu Ruo glanced cautiously at Bai Qingnian, afraid that he would be angry because they had beaten this woman so badly, but she found that her lord was just looking at the person on the ground with a calm expression.
"Senior Sister Baili."
The group waited for a while before they heard Bai Qingnian speak.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the person on the ground twitched their fingers and slowly opened their eyes. After a while, their vision cleared, and they were able to see the person in front of them.
She said weakly, "Yueci... I've come to take you home...."
"Oh."
Before Bai Qingnian could say anything, Long Qianling let out a cold laugh, his red eyes gradually turning murderous.
Bring her little fox home? Who does she think she is? Does she deserve it?
"It's you..."
Baili Qing's attention was entirely on Bai Qingnian, and she didn't even notice that there were three other people standing next to him. She recognized all three of them; they were demons, and there was also a woman who claimed to have already confessed her feelings to Yue Ci.
"This is the demon realm. Is it strange that you can see her?" Ming Yuyin sneered, her eyes full of mockery.
Baili Qing pursed her lips and turned her gaze back to Bai Qingnian.
"Yue Ci, let's go back to the cultivation world..."
"Senior Sister Baili, the Xuantian Sect is gone, and all the senior sisters have left me. I will not go back to the cultivation world. Besides, my mother and father, my father, and my elder... A-Ling are here." Bai Qingnian raised her hand and touched her wrist, her voice gentle, and she looked extremely happy.
"And what about me? The Xuantian Sect is gone, but you still have me. Yueci, actually I've long..."
"There is nothing more than friendship between us."
Before she could say what she most wanted to say, Bai Qingnian interrupted her sharply.
His other half of his soul was only focused on enlightenment and cultivation, and he was unaware of Baili Qing's thoughts. But now it's different. His soul has merged with Baili Qing's, and he has spent time with the Great Black Dragon. He knows what love is. What he didn't understand before, he understands now.
Baili Qing had been in love with him for a very, very long time.
“Yue Ci, you…” Baili Qing felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart when she saw his anxious look.
Is he worried that the woman will misunderstand them?
“Senior Sister Baili, although I don’t know how you came to the Demon Realm or how you found the Dragon Palace, now, you should go back.” Bai Qingnian glanced at her with her blue eyes, then slowly withdrew her gaze, turned to Long Qianling, and said, “Big Black Dragon, please help me send her back.”
Long Qianling nodded, "Okay."
Bai Qingnian sighed and walked out.
"Yue Ci!"
Seeing him walk further and further away, Baili Qing shouted hysterically, but Bai Qingnian showed no sign of stopping.
Long Qianling watched Bai Qingnian walk out of the dungeon before turning his gaze back to Baili Qing.
Her red eyes flashed with murderous intent as she coldly said, "I didn't intend to kill you, but you came to the demon realm and even tried to take the little fox away. You're simply courting death!"
"You bitch! If it weren't for you, why wouldn't he come back to the cultivation world with me? It's all because of you that he's become like this! We should have been an enviable couple in the cultivation world, but it's all because of you that things have turned out this way between us!" Baili Qing shouted as if she had gone mad, trying to attack Long Qianling.
But she had already been severely injured by the various demons, and her spiritual power had long been exhausted. Now she was like a cripple.
"A divine couple? You—don't deserve it!"
Upon hearing this, Long Qianling's red eyes lit up, and a murderous aura arose. A strong wind suddenly swept through the cell, and a powerful pressure pressed down heavily on Baili Qing on the ground.
Bai Yaoguang and Ming Yuyin had already followed Hu Ruo and quickly ran out of the cell. Three heads popped out from the corner of the wall, looking at the scene inside the cell.
They knew that Long Qianling was furious!
"puff--"
Baili Qing was forced to vomit a mouthful of black blood by the oppressive aura. Although she was already in a sorry state, she was still talking.
"If you hadn't appeared, he should have become my Daoist partner..."
"A fool's dream!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of azure light pierced through Baili Qing's body.
"No……"
Long Qianling slowly withdrew his hand, his red eyes coldly watching her disappear before his eyes, turning into countless stars.
Not entering the cycle of reincarnation is still reincarnation, so the little fox probably won't be angry if it finds out.
Long Qianling walked out of the cell, and Bai Yaoguang and the other two then came out from the corner of the wall.
"Your Majesty, if the Empress finds out, what will she do..." Hu Ruo glanced at the empty cell, somewhat worried.
"Who said I did it? You? You? Or you?" Long Qianling's red eyes swept over the three of them one by one.
The three of them froze simultaneously and quickly shook their heads.
"That's good then." Long Qianling said this and disappeared from their sight.
The three were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Long Qianling returned to the inner hall and saw Bai Qingnian sitting by the nest, gently stroking the dragon egg. Upon seeing her return, he quickly stood up and went to greet her.
"Great Black Dragon, you're back!"
Long Qianling smiled and reached out to pull Bai Qingnian, who had walked up to her, into her arms, hugging him tightly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Qingnian was a little out of breath and looked up at Long Qianling with a puzzled expression.
But she quickly rested her head on his shoulder, so he couldn't see her face.
"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you," Long Qianling whispered, nuzzling his shoulder with her chin.
That being said, from an angle that Bai Qingnian couldn't see, Long Qianling's red eyes were brimming with a strong possessiveness.
This is her fox, her family, and no one can take them from her! Anyone who dares to take them will be killed by her!
Bai Qingnian raised his hand and touched the back of her head, chuckling softly, "Okay, hug me."
Long Qianling felt his presence and her heart calmed down.
Little fox, you promised to stay with me forever, you can't lie to me...
