A golden light flashed in his golden eyes. Bai Qingnian stared at her blankly until he felt a warm sensation on his wrist, at which point he turned his attention to it.
I discovered that the wound on my wrist had completely healed, and there was no trace of the bite mark.
"A... a giant black dragon?!" Bai Qingnian's mouth opened slightly as she turned to look at Long Qianling once more.
Long Qianling glanced at him, raised her other hand and casually waved it. Instantly, space distorted, and a crack appeared beside the two of them.
Bai Qingnian only felt a blur before his eyes, and he was pulled into the crevice by the black dragon. When he came to his senses, he was already standing on the bank of the Spirit River.
Looking at the bustling riverbank in front of him, he was momentarily dazed. Long Qianling pulled him through the crowd and walked to the sparsely populated upstream area.
Long Qianling handed the lantern in her hand to Bai Qingnian, and then sat down on a rock by the river.
Bai Qingnian looked at the lantern in his hand, then at the calm-faced Long Qianling, squatted down, raised his hand and touched the lantern. The wick inside was immediately ignited by his demonic fire.
Bai Qingnian held the lantern in both hands and handed it to Long Qianling.
"Big Black Dragon, I heard from others that making a wish upon a lantern will make it come true. Do you want to give it a try?"
Even though he was still a little afraid of her, he remembered what Senior Lan Li had said and thought about the baby she was carrying. He decided to try his best to overcome his fear and get along well with her.
Long Qianling glanced at the lit lantern in his hand with her golden eyes and sneered: "Compared to such meaningless tricks, I have more faith in myself!"
Bai Qingnian paused for a moment, then smiled, moved to squat by the river, gently placed the lantern in his hand into the Spirit River, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and parted his lips slightly.
"By the Fairy of Marriage, believer Bai Qingnian sincerely prays that in this life, he may always be by Long Qianling's side, and also hopes that she may regain her freedom and soar through the sky."
As Long Qianling listened to his words and looked at his serious profile, a strange feeling stirred within her.
Isn't he very afraid of himself?
Why should I stay by her side all the time?
After Bai Qingnian finished speaking, she opened her eyes and smiled faintly as she looked at the lanterns that were slowly drifting away.
Long Qianling shifted her gaze from his face to the river. The Ling River shimmered under the moonlight at night, sparkling like a small starry sky, which was extremely beautiful.
Every now and then, a few beautiful lanterns floated across the river, and fireflies danced in the air.
Suddenly, Long Qianling remembered something, raised his hand, and a white clam appeared in his palm.
Bai Qingnian turned around and saw her looking down at the clam in her hand.
"What a beautiful clam!"
Upon hearing this, Long Qianling smiled gently and carefully stroked the clam shell with her other hand.
This was the first time Bai Qingnian had seen such a smile on her face; it was gentle and warm.
"Yes, it's very beautiful. Father is the most beautiful jade clam in the world!" Long Qianling gently stroked the clam shell in his hand, his tone softening.
"This is... Senior Lan Li?!" Bai Qingnian stared in disbelief at the jade clam in her hand.
Long Qianling suddenly looked up at him, "Do you know who killed my father?"
Bai Qingnian was taken aback and shook his head.
"It's your mother."
Long Qianling suddenly gave Bai Qingnian a cold smile, which startled Bai Qingnian.
"A... a giant black dragon?!"
“That’s a soul-stealing technique! Father is so afraid of pain, how much pain must he have been in back then…” Long Qianling stopped looking at him and carefully put the jade clam back into her sea of consciousness.
Even if all that's left is a clam shell, it's still her father, Long Qianling's father.
Bai Qingnian pursed her lips, looking at Long Qianling, unsure of what to say.
The source of the Spirit River is the Jade River, where the Jade Clam Clan lives. It's not surprising that the Great Black Dragon would think of her father when she sees the Spirit River.
But he now realizes that the one who killed her father was actually his own mother in name, and that she used a soul-stealing technique.
"The Great Black Dragon... uh..."
Bai Qingnian was about to say something to comfort her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, that familiar feeling of nausea surged up again. Bai Qingnian clutched her chest and started gagging, tears streaming down her face.
Long Qianling, who was sitting to the side, had never seen such a scene before and was at a loss for what to do. He reached out to help Bai Qingnian, but his hand froze in mid-air.
Why am I in such a hurry for him? I guess I really am going crazy!
Long Qianling's eyes darkened, and he withdrew his hand. He only glanced coldly at Bai Qingnian, who was vomiting and looked pale, before turning his gaze away and ignoring Bai Qingnian.
Bai Qingnian finally managed to stop feeling nauseous. Looking up at Long Qianling's indifferent expression, she felt extremely wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Perhaps wanting to minimize her presence, she reverted to her original form and hid in the nearby bushes, sobbing softly.
Ugh...
He didn't really know what he was feeling wronged about; he just felt like crying when he saw the black dragon's indifferent expression.
Perhaps it's because of the pregnancy that her emotions are unstable and she's more sensitive.
Long Qianling heard a sparse sound in her ear, turned around and saw that Bai Qingnian, who had been squatting on the ground, had disappeared. She was so frightened that she quickly stood up.
Why else would he run around like that?!
Didn't he know he was carrying her dragon egg?!
Long Qianling's face darkened instantly. Just as he was about to step forward to find Bai Qingnian, a white sphere entered his field of vision.
She walked over, squatted down, and poked the white sphere with her finger. The white sphere moved, and nine fluffy tails unfolded, revealing the fox's head inside.
When Long Qianling met those tearful fox eyes, she paused for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the little fox on the ground.
"Little fox?" Long Qianling sensed the familiar aura emanating from him and knew that this was Bai Qingnian.
Bai Qingnian twitched her ears and continued to wrap herself up with her tail.
Looking at the white sphere in her palm, Long Qianling stared intently at him with her golden eyes. The soft touch on her hand actually made her feel much happier.
Recalling how pale he looked after vomiting, Long Qianling sighed helplessly and gently tapped his head with her finger.
"This is really troublesome."
After all, he was carrying her dragon egg and they were married. Now he's her husband, so she should treat him better.
"Hold on tight," Long Qianling gently squeezed the ball in her hand, and finally placed it on her shoulder.
As soon as Bai Qingnian landed on her shoulder, he immediately reached out and hugged Long Qianling's neck.
That's so high... What if he falls? Will his baby be hurt?!
The soft pads of flesh touched his skin, and Long Qianling's body stiffened for a moment.
