Lan Li continued talking to herself, her gaze drifting out the window as if she were reminiscing about something.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingnian and Zhiyan both fell silent.
“But we don’t love each other, this baby won’t be happy when it’s born,” Bai Qingnian said softly, touching her belly and lowering her head.
His father and mother didn't love each other, and he was born. He himself wasn't happy either, so how could he bear to let his child follow in his footsteps?
“Year after year…” Zhiyan turned to look at him, her eyes welling up with tears.
Lan Li shook her head and continued, "She will love you."
Bai Qingnian suddenly looked up at Lan Li, "But she..."
It seems like you really dislike me...
Lan Li smiled slightly, stepped in front of him, and tapped his forehead with her finger. Instantly, a golden divine mark appeared on Bai Qingnian's forehead.
Bai Qingnian felt a slight burning sensation on his forehead and reached out to touch it. Zhiyan, who was standing next to him, also stared intently at the divine mark on his forehead.
Finally, both father and son looked at Lan Li with puzzled expressions.
"This is her divine seal, representing the dragon marriage contract between you. It will only appear on you if she has you in her heart, so you don't need to worry about her hating you or even killing you because of your coercion..." Lan Li said logically.
Bai Qingnian was skeptical: "But the look in her eyes..."
"Have you forgotten how many times she saved you? If she really hated you, why would she save you in the first place?"
Bai Qingnian paused, then stood to the side and pursed his lips, recalling the words Long Qianling had warned him before.
You must protect him; his life belongs to me!
But according to Lan Li, Long Qianling saved Nian Nian many times. Was it because she possessed Nian Nian's body again without his knowledge to help her get through danger?
By the way, every year before, she was summoned to the Great Palace, and after she returned, news spread that the Fox Emperor was injured. So, was that also her doing?!
It has to be said that Zhiyan guessed correctly, and he was somewhat shaken.
Dragon marriage contracts stipulate that one can only have one partner for life, which is a good thing for Nian Nian.
At least Long Qianling won't have three husbands and four concubines like the Fox Emperor.
Zhiyan thought a lot, but Bai Qingnian thought even more. He recalled the scene of the black dragon spitting blood, and his heart ached slightly.
"I……"
"The destruction of the dragon race left a deep shadow in her heart. Use your sincerity to awaken her and help her escape the abyss of evil. I beg you here on her behalf to spare this child so that our dragon race may have successors..." After Lan Li finished speaking, her body gradually disappeared.
Bai Qingnian looked at his smiling eyes and nodded as if possessed.
"good"
Lan Li smiled meaningfully and gradually disappeared from the sight of the father and son.
They will never know that the divine mark on Bai Qingnian's forehead was not a dragon marriage contract at all, but a mark left by Long Qianling so that he could find Bai Qingnian and take revenge.
He said and did all this so that Bai Qingnian would be willing to help Long Qianling overcome his inner demons, escape the abyss of evil, and regain his freedom.
As for the baby, it was his daughter's first child, so naturally he had to protect it.
But the dragon marriage contract is real; it will only take effect after his daughter falls in love with Bai Qingnian.
After all, it was Bai Qingnian who was to be contracted, not his daughter, so Bai Qingnian had to make Long Qianling fall in love with him.
Dragon marriage contracts are automatically established after the union. The woman will spontaneously allocate a wisp of her divine consciousness to protect her partner, and subconsciously she will show extra favoritism towards her partner and spontaneously care for them.
The consciousnesses of both parties will be interconnected. As for why the secondary soul cannot return to the main soul, it is because some dragons unite not out of love, but to reproduce.
When a person is distracted and has not fallen in love with a partner, their secondary soul cannot return.
Having fallen in love with Bai Qingnian, her consciousness returned to its rightful place, and the marriage contract was officially established.
Ah Ling, this is the last thing your father can do for you...
Lan Li completely disappeared from the father and son's sight. The two remained silent for a long while before Zhi Yan finally spoke, "Niannian, do you really want to keep this baby?"
Bai Qingnian nodded: "This is also my child, and what he said is true, the Great Black Dragon has indeed saved me many times, and she is not actually that bad."
Zhiyan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say, and finally sighed, "Oh well, perhaps this is fate."
Bang!
With a loud bang, the broken bowl on the table behind him suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, a figure fell to the ground with a thud. Zhiyan stared in disbelief at the suddenly shattered bowl, unable to see the figure on the ground at all.
But Bai Qingnian clearly saw Long Qianling lying on the ground.
"Ah, Father, didn't you see?" he asked, his voice trembling as he reached out and tugged at Zhiyan's sleeve.
"I saw it, your bowl exploded." Zhiyan nodded.
"No, no, didn't you see something else?"
Zhi Yan was taken aback, then walked over, picked up the broken pieces from the ground, and waved them at Bai Qingnian: "What is this? There are only some broken pieces of bowls here."
Can't Father see?
Wait, the broken bowl, and his little black snake!
Bai Qingnian quickly stood up and went over, but after searching around, he couldn't find the little black snake.
"Niannian, what are you looking for?" Zhiyan asked, throwing the fragments on the ground.
"Father, my little black snake is gone!" Bai Qingnian said anxiously.
"What little black snake?" Zhiyan asked, puzzled.
Just as Bai Qingnian was about to explain, a mocking laugh reached his ears.
"What little black snake? I am the Dragon God!"
Bai Qingnian froze, not daring to turn around, but he understood what Long Qianling said.
So actually, the little black snake is a big black dragon...
"Niannian, what's wrong?" Zhiyan couldn't see Long Qianling, so she couldn't hear her either. She just looked at Niannian in front of her and her expression suddenly changed. She asked with concern.
Long Qianling sat openly in the chair next to the table in front of him, raising his golden eyes to glance at the father and son in front of him.
"You've gotten so thin in just one month! You really are weak!"
Long Qianling looked at Bai Qingnian's somewhat thin face, gave her some comments, and then looked away.
Bai Qingnian blinked and stared intently at Long Qianling's profile.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized she didn't seem to know I could see her.
"Father, I'm fine," Bai Qingnian turned around and smiled at Zhiyan.
“You’re pregnant now, you need to rest. Sit down, let your father sweep up these fragments for you.” Zhiyan quickly pulled him to sit down, and coincidentally, they ended up sitting next to Long Qianling.
"Father, I can do it myself!" Bai Qingnian tried to stand up, but his father held him down again.
"Be obedient every year!"
Helpless, Bai Qingnian could only obediently sit down.
Long Qianling, who was standing nearby, finally came to her senses. Her golden eyes widened slightly, and then she roared in fury.
"Pregnant with a baby? You filthy fox, how dare you start something and then abandon it!?"
