Bai Qingnian returned to the demon realm and went straight to Bai Changjun's residence.
She's an elder, she's experienced more than him, so perhaps she knows what's really going on. If she doesn't know... no, that can't be!
She couldn't possibly not know...
"Niannian, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhiyan and Longling came from another path and saw Bai Qingnian running over with a worried look on her face.
"Father, I don't have time to explain to you now, I have to go find Senior Bai." Bai Qingnian didn't stop walking, leaving only these words, and hurriedly ran into Bai Changjun's courtyard.
"Senior Zhiyan, he seems to be in such a hurry, could something have happened? Let's go check on him." Long Ling frowned slightly as she watched his disappearing figure.
“You’re right, let’s hurry and follow!” Zhiyan nodded quickly, and the two of them walked into Bai Changjun’s courtyard.
"Little one?" Aheng called out in confusion when he saw Bai Qingnian.
My little one has never set foot here before, how could this be...?
"Where is Senior Bai? Where is Senior Bai?" Bai Qingnian rushed forward anxiously upon seeing him and grabbed his hand.
"Little one, what do you want with your mother?" Ah Heng frowned when he saw how anxious he was.
Hearing the commotion outside, Bai Changjun came out of the house. "Why are you here, little one?"
Upon seeing her, Bai Qingnian released Aheng, rushed to Bai Changjun, and extended his hand, his voice choked with emotion:
"My marriage contract is gone! Senior Bai, you must know what happened, right?"
"What did you say?" Bai Changjun was stunned and looked down at his trembling hand.
“The Great Black Dragon is gone… My marriage contract with her is gone too, and her name has also disappeared from the marriage contract stone…” Bai Qingnian trembled as she raised her other hand and gripped her wrist.
“Gone… Could it be… Impossible! This is impossible!” Bai Changjun thought of a possibility and quickly denied it.
"Are you telling the truth?"
“Yes…” Bai Qingnian nodded, then quickly asked, “Senior Bai, what… do you mean by that?”
Bai Changjun pursed his lips, looked at his red and swollen eyes, and explained to him, "Once a dragon marriage contract disappears, it means that one of the contract holders has... died."
"Little one, what exactly happened?"
"Dead, dead..." Bai Qingnian was stunned upon hearing this, standing frozen in place.
He was somewhat dazed; grief overwhelmed him like the sea, engulfing his entire heart.
How is this possible?!
impossible!
How could the great black dragon die...?
No, she won't die!
Zhiyan, Longling, and Aheng, who had just stepped into the courtyard, were all stunned. They stared blankly at Bai Qingnian's back.
"How...how is this possible...Your Majesty...is dead?!"
"His Majesty is so powerful, how... how could he possibly die???"
"Impossible! I don't believe it! The Great Black Dragon can't be dead!" Bai Qingnian was completely devastated. He roared in anguish, tears blurring his vision.
“We were all home… How could she die? How could she die…” Bai Qingnian collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained away.
The Great Black Dragon...
Bai Qingnian gripped the clothes at his chest tightly, the intense pain making it hard for him to breathe.
"Baby..." Bai Changjun called softly, but the only response she received was Bai Qingnian's suppressed sobs.
Long Ling's eyes were already red from crying; he couldn't believe Long Qianling was dead either.
But he was a dragon, and he understood dragon marriage contracts, so he knew that what Senior Bai said was true.
But... how is he supposed to accept this?
Bai Changjun's expression was also very bad, his eyes filled with self-blame.
She couldn't save Feiyue, and now she couldn't even protect her child... She didn't even know how Feiyue died...
"puff……"
"Year after year!"
"Baby!"
Bai Qingnian, who was on the ground, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhiyan and Aheng were shocked and rushed to his side to check on his condition.
"Niannian, don't cry, don't cry, Long Qianling will be alright! He'll be alright!" Zhiyan raised his hand to wipe the blood from Niannian's mouth, but he suddenly realized that Niannian was actually shedding tears of blood.
"Niannian! Don't do this! Niannian!" Zhiyan reached out and hugged Bai Qingnian, tears welling up in her eyes with heartache.
Bai Qingnian's face was blank, his vision was blood red, and he seemed to have lost his mind.
He was pulled into Zhiyan's arms, and the people around him saw the bloodstains on his face.
"My darling!" Ah Heng knelt beside him, reaching out to wipe away his blood and tears. "My darling... don't cry, please don't cry, please don't cry anymore..."
"Great Black Dragon, you don't want me... do you not even want the dragon egg anymore...?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qingnian slowly closed her eyes.
"Year after year!"
"Baby!"
The group cried out in alarm and frantically checked on Bai Qingnian. They breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that he had fainted due to emotional distress. Then, thinking of Long Qianling, their hearts ached again, especially for Bai Changjun and Long Ling.
...
The person lying on the bed fluttered their eyelashes and slowly opened their eyes, only to be greeted by the familiar sight of the bed ceiling.
This is... the inner palace.
Oh, right, the big black dragon!
Bai Qingnian suddenly sat up in bed and looked anxiously to his side, but there was no one there.
His gaze finally settled on the dragon egg, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Was it a dream...?"
Meanwhile, inside the main hall, several people stood there with solemn expressions, and none of them spoke.
After a long silence, Hu Ruo angrily declared, "Even if you try to stop me, I will still fight my way to the God Realm and avenge my Lord!"
Three years have passed since Long Qianling's accident, but they have never given up searching for her, thanks to Yun Li, a person from the divine realm.
He secretly took Ming Yuyin and Bai Yaoguang up to the God Realm to gather information.
Sure enough, their inquiry revealed the truth.
So Long Qianling really is dead... and was killed by that guy with life imprisonment!
They wanted revenge, but even someone as powerful as Long Qianling couldn't defeat her, let alone them...
"Hu Ruo! Calm down! This is no small matter. Those people are so strong, we can't beat them. Even Long Qianling is dead, killed by them. How are you going to avenge her?" Bai Yaoguang said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed.
"What should we do? What should we do? Are we just going to let His Excellency die in vain?" Hu Ruo roared back, his face flushed red with anger.
"You all...stop arguing! The divine realm is about to collapse; they're probably about to attack the master of the exquisite heart..."
Suddenly, Yun, who had been silent all along, spoke up, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
