"Are you growing medicinal herbs?"
"Yes, I just planted it to pass the time when I had nothing else to do." Bai Qingnian lowered his eyes.
Long Qianling sat up in the tree and saw that Bai Shaoheng's previously calmed emotions were starting to get irritable again.
"You didn't have this expression last time when you stole the giant python's inner core! Why don't you possess the little fox's body and kill him?"
Bai Qingnian couldn't believe his ears. What did the black dragon say? Possess his body and then kill Bai Shaoheng?!
Before he could react, Long Qianling was already beside him.
“It’s not the first time anyway, just kill him,” Long Qianling said calmly, raising his hand to lightly touch his brow under Bai Qingnian’s gaze.
The divine seal appeared, and Long Qianling disappeared from the spot, only to reappear in front of Bai Qingnian the next second.
"What's going on? Why can't I get on his body?" Long Qianling looked Bai Qingnian up and down in confusion, her gaze suddenly falling on his abdomen.
"Could it be because she's pregnant?"
Long Qianling thought her idea made a lot of sense, and when she looked back at Bai Shaoheng, she felt it was a pity.
Next time, she definitely won't let him off so easily!
Bai Qingnian pretended not to see her and raised his hand to touch his stomach, but Bai Shaoheng saw this action.
Bai Shaoheng asked curiously, "Nineteen, are you feeling unwell? Why are you touching your stomach?"
Bai Qingnian stiffened and quickly lowered his hand. "No, it's nothing. I probably ate something wrong this morning, and my stomach is a little upset..."
He was almost discovered. He couldn't let anyone know he was pregnant with the black dragon's cub, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Should we go see Elder Gu?" Bai Shaoheng asked with concern.
Bai Qingnian quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No need to trouble you, Second Brother, I'm fine. But Second Brother, is there something you need from me?"
Bai Shaoheng chuckled: "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Yes, I can..." But I don't want you to come!
Bai Qingnian smiled on the surface, but inside she was roaring.
"Pretending"
Long Qianling, who was standing next to her, made a comment. Bai Qingnian secretly glanced in her direction and saw her looking at Bai Shaoheng with a mocking expression.
She seems to really dislike Bai Shaoheng.
"Nineteen, have you..."
"Second Prince! The Eighth Prince of the Merfolk has arrived at the Fox Palace and is looking for you."
Just as Bai Shaoheng was about to ask about Long Qianling's whereabouts, an urgent voice came from outside the courtyard. A moment later, a demon servant strode into the courtyard.
"Has Xue arrived?" Bai Shaoheng turned around and asked.
Jiang Zhuoxue, the Eighth Prince of the Mermaid Clan, is his close friend. This time, the Demon Realm's Marriage Festival is being held in their Qingqiu, where demons from all directions will gather to find their partners.
"Yes, Your Highness," the demon servant replied breathlessly.
Bai Shaoheng pursed his lips, turned to look at Bai Qingnian, and said, "Nineteen, Xue is here. I'll go greet him first, and I'll come to see you again when I have a chance."
"good"
Hurry up, hurry up!
Bai Qingnian watched Bai Shaoheng leave his courtyard with a smile on his face.
He felt that perhaps because the black dragon was standing beside him, he wasn't as afraid of Bai Shaoheng anymore.
"What is the Festival of Bonds?" Long Qianling asked, puzzled.
It's not fair to say she's ignorant; she was groomed from a young age to become the next patriarch of the dragon clan, so she simply didn't have time to go out.
Every day is spent practicing, nothing but practicing.
Just as she was puzzled, Bai Qingnian suddenly spoke up.
"This year's Marriage Festival is being held in our Qingqiu. I really want to go to the Spirit River to release a lantern and tell the Fairy of Marriage that I also want to find my soulmate and stay with her forever."
Living together with the great black dragon forever doesn't seem so bad.
"What do you mean by finding your soulmate and staying together forever? You're already pregnant with my dragon egg! Stop dreaming!" Long Qianling was a little angry when she saw his expectant look.
Bai Qingnian raised her hand and gently touched her belly, revealing a smile.
Her dragon egg...
Seeing that he was still smiling, Long Qianling became even angrier. She reached out to strangle him, but her hand passed right through his neck. How could she forget that she was not in her original form and had no offensive power? She couldn't even touch Bai Qingnian.
"snort!"
Long Qianling snorted coldly and disappeared from the spot.
Bai Qingnian was stunned. Her hand had actually pierced right through his neck? The black dragon is amazing!
But did the big black dragon go back? He was still thinking about whether he could go to the Spirit River with her tonight to release lanterns.
...
Qingqiu was exceptionally lively tonight, especially the streets along the Ling River, which were packed with people, both men and women. Not far away, many people were also releasing lanterns by the Ling River.
In Bai Qingnian's courtyard, he had just finished dinner with his father. As soon as he opened his room door, he saw a beautiful lantern on his table.
Bai Qingnian walked over and carefully picked it up, examining it for a while.
Is it pretty?
A familiar voice sounded behind him, but Bai Qingnian pretended not to hear it, staring at the lantern in his hand and muttering to himself in confusion.
Where did it come from?
"Fool, of course I bought this!" Long Qianling stepped behind him, wrapped him up in her arms, and took the lantern from his hand.
When Long Qianling's fingers touched Bai Qingnian, Bai Qingnian was so frightened that she held her breath, afraid that Long Qianling would discover that he could see her.
Long Qianling took the lantern and walked to his side. "Let's go."
Bai Qingnian didn't dare to move. Long Qianling, who had taken two steps forward, turned back and glanced at Bai Qingnian, who was still standing there dumbfounded.
What do you mean? You don't want to release the lanterns with her?
If it weren't for the fact that he was carrying her child, she wouldn't bother with him at all.
Could it be that he intends to take her egg and live happily ever after with someone else?
Long Qianling grew angrier the more she thought about it. Her face darkened instantly. She strode back to Bai Qingnian's side, pulled him into her arms, lifted his hand, and bit his wrist.
Bai Qingnian's small face contorted in pain, tears glistening in her beautiful fox-like eyes.
Looking at Long Qianling, who was biting his wrist tightly, his expression changed drastically.
Black scales sprouted from the sides of Long Qianling's face, and a pair of dragon horns appeared on his forehead. The golden divine seal in the middle of the horn faintly shone with golden light, and his golden eyes stared straight at him as if he were staring at prey.
He sensed it; she was sucking his blood. He also realized that the great black dragon wasn't using any magic to hide herself at all, but was completely exposing herself to him.
"Big, big black dragon...it hurts!" Bai Qingnian stretched out his other hand, trying to push Long Qianling away.
Long Qianling then let go. Bai Qingnian looked at the hand that was still being held by her and saw that her wrist was covered in blood.
The scales and horns on Long Qianling's face receded, and she stuck out her tongue to lick his wrist. Her golden eyes stared straight at him, and she said teasingly:
"I've remembered your scent. From now on, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll find you!"
Her mark will disappear, but the essence that has become part of her body will never disappear!
