Long Qianling didn't have to wait long. After sitting by the palace window for a while, Bai Yaoguang returned with the woman who had been cleaned up.
"The person has been brought," Bai Yaoguang said, her voice becoming deep and somber, a change from her previous disdain.
Long Qianling and Long Ling looked over at the same time.
At this moment, the woman, now clean, revealed her original appearance.
Although she is very thin, you can tell from her facial features that she is a woman with a good appearance.
"Little A-Ling..."
The woman reached out and grabbed at her surroundings, trying to find Long Qianling, but she was blind and couldn't see where he was at all.
Long Qianling walked up to her and grabbed her flailing hand.
"Who are you? Why do you know me?"
“Little A-Ling…” The woman grasped Long Qianling’s hand in return, her voice trembling with excitement.
“She is Bai Changjun, my mother’s older sister…” Bai Yaoguang spoke first.
Long Qianling and Long Ling's gazes fell on her at the same time again. When the woman heard someone call her name, she visibly stiffened for a moment. When she came to her senses, she had already shielded Long Qianling behind her.
"You are Bai Fengfu's descendant! I warn you, with me here, I will not allow you to harm Xiao A Ling!"
Although her words were fierce, all three people present could tell that she had no cultivation level whatsoever.
"Aunt..." Bai Yaoguang called out cautiously.
Bai Changjun was stunned for a moment, but still protected Long Qianling tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Shut up, I'm not!"
"Alright, Bai Yaoguang, shut up now."
Long Qianling interrupted the two and pulled Bai Changjun to sit down on a chair by the window.
"I am Long Qianling, Long Feiyue's daughter. Now can you tell me why you know me? And why you have become like this?"
If she really was her mother's old friend and Bai Fengfu's sister, then why did she become like this, blind and without any cultivation?
Does she know some hidden story about the extinction of the dragon race?
Long Qianling does indeed hate all the races in the demon realm and Bai Fengfu, but it's absurd that Bai Fengfu would casually call on all races to annihilate the dragon race simply because the dragon race is too strong.
So there might be more to this than meets the eye.
Bai Changjun nervously twisted her fingers. Even though she was now blind, she could still feel three burning gazes fixed on her.
Just when Long Qianling thought she was going to remain silent, she finally spoke.
“I saw you before you even hatched. As for why I became like this…” Bai Changjun paused, then gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all thanks to Bai Fengfu!”
"What did Bai Fengfu do to you?" Long Qianling asked.
Bai Changjun gave a mocking smile, slowly raising his hand to touch his eyes. "She destroyed my sight, imprisoned me, and drained my demonic power for herself day and night. She even... she even dug out my inner core."
The three of them fell silent after hearing this, and Long Qianling raised her hand and pressed her abdomen.
Bai Fengfu really does enjoy digging out other people's inner cores.
"Senior...why did she imprison you?" Long Ling couldn't help but ask when she saw that they were all silent.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar male voice, Bai Changjun was visibly startled, but still continued, "She knew that I had a close relationship with the Dragon Clan Chief and wanted me to steal the Dragon Clan's treasure, the Dragon Pearl. I refused, and she probably harbored resentment towards me from that time on."
At that time, it just so happened that the fox clan held its once-in-ten-thousand-years election meeting, and I was put on the throne of the Fox Emperor. But later, she somehow persuaded the elders of the clan to take the position of Fox Emperor away.
The cultivation methods we practice are different. I am a white fox and can only learn healing techniques, while she is a red fox and learns attack techniques. She is indeed more suitable to be the Fox Emperor than I am. I have no interest in that position; if she wants to be it, so be it.
Later I discovered that she was always accompanied by a highly skilled demon.
That day, on my way to the Medical Palace, I overheard her talking to that expert. They were talking about using the Dragon Pearl to open some secret realm of the Dragon Clan, where there were rare and precious materials that could help Bai Feng become a god. That was why she wanted the Dragon Pearl in the first place.
For her own selfish reasons, she used this to rally all the races of the demon realm. I wanted to tell A-Yue, but I was discovered, and she imprisoned me... I couldn't stop it... I couldn't tell A-Yue about this conspiracy..."
"So, in order to ascend to godhood for herself, she annihilated my entire dragon clan." Long Qianling's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, showing just how much force she was using.
The idea that the dragon race is all-powerful and so strong that it puts other races in a bad position is simply a huge joke.
It's all for personal gain!
"I'm sorry, Xiao A-Ling... It's my fault for being useless and failing to tell your mother this news... I'm so sorry..."
That day was supposed to be Xiao A-Ling's coming-of-age ceremony, but this kind of thing just had to happen...
Bai Changjun started crying again as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Long Ling recalled that she had already wept uncontrollably that day.
The dragons did nothing wrong; it was their greed that caused him to lose his home and his people, and now he has to hide in the shadows and eke out a living.
He wanted to go home... to return to the land of the dragons...
Long Qianling stood there with a blank expression, quietly watching the thin woman in front of him cry her heart out.
Long Qianling couldn't understand it. Was becoming a god really that good?
Bai Yaoguang stood aside, watching Long Ling cry his heart out, but dared not go forward to comfort him.
Her mother destroyed the dragon clan for her own selfish desires. Although she herself harbored resentment towards Bai Fengfu, Long Ling's rejection of her was not so easily diminished.
If she tries to comfort him now, he might hate her even more.
Bai Yaoguang hated being Bai Fengfu's descendant for the nth time.
Long Qianling stood there for a long time, then took a deep breath and tried to calm the grief and indignation in her heart.
She turned to Bai Yaoguang and said, "Bai Yaoguang, whether this is true or not, I will not let your fox clan go, I will not let Bai Fengfu go. The day Bai Qingnian lays the dragon egg will be the day your fox clan is destroyed!"
She wouldn't easily believe someone who suddenly appeared and what they said, but what she said sounded so real that she was almost at her breaking point and wanted to immediately go and massacre the fox clan.
Bai Yaoguang looked back at her, showing no concern whatsoever about her threat to exterminate her fox clan.
"I'll help you."
As soon as she spoke, Long Qianling was stunned for a moment, and the two who were still crying stopped crying and turned to look at her.
Bai Yaoguang chuckled lightly: "Don't be too surprised. Although I am Bai Fengfu's direct subordinate, I am inferior to Bai Yi in every way, and Bai Fengfu has never given me a second glance."
That time, Ah Ling saved me during my advancement. My life belongs to him. He wants to avenge the dragon clan, and I'm willing to do it for him, even if he wants my life..."
