"How is this possible?" Long Qianling looked incredulous.
"Really, I really didn't see a trace of demonic energy on him! Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ming Yuyin withdrew her hand and looked at Long Qianling with a serious expression.
"He's under a curse! How could I be wrong!"
"A demonic spell? Impossible! He has nothing but a powerful demonic energy on him."
Ming Yuyin truly couldn't see a trace of demonic energy. Logically speaking, even if he had transferred the Heart Demon Curse, he should still have left some trace, but no demonic energy could be found on his body.
For a moment, both Long Qianling and Ming Yuyin fell silent.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Bai Qingnian gripped Long Qianling's hand even tighter.
Could something have happened to him?
"The Great Black Dragon..."
The silence between the two was broken by Bai Qingnian's call. Long Qianling looked down and saw his anxious expression. She gently comforted him, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Ming Yuyin, standing beside him, stared at Long Qianling in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, Long Qianling turned around and glared at her, her tone immediately changing: "Useless thing!"
"It wasn't you..." Although Ming Yuyin was angry, she didn't dare to show it. There was nothing she could do; she couldn't beat Long Qianling.
As soon as Ming Yuyin spoke, she received a warning look from Long Qianling, who sighed helplessly and said:
"Don't worry, there's no demonic energy on him, which means that the so-called Heart Demon Curse is long gone. As for how it disappeared, I don't know. In short, he's fine."
"Really?" Long Qianling was still a little uneasy.
"Why would I lie to you? And do you think I'd dare?" Ming Yuyin felt helpless...
Long Qianling looked her up and down and thought she was right. "Then you can go back now."
"Can't you just send me back? This place is so far from the Demon Realm!" Ming Yuyin gritted her teeth.
"trouble."
Before she could finish speaking, Long Qianling raised his hand and created a gap, slapping the person inside before she could react.
"Long Qianling!"
After Ming Yuyin's gritting voice disappeared, the gap also disappeared from Long Qianling and the other person's sight.
"Great Black Dragon, it's me..."
Bai Qingnian hesitated, though the demon had just told him he was alright. He was still worried about why the Heart Demon Curse had suddenly disappeared and when it had vanished.
"Don't be afraid, I'll figure it out, I'm here for you." Long Qianling knew what he was worried about, so she reached out and touched his head, her voice extremely gentle.
"Mmm~" Bai Qingnian looked up at her and nodded obediently.
...
On the other side, Dongfang Yuanling, a member of the snake clan, stood outside the house, his brows furrowed as he looked at the tightly closed door.
Is he still unwilling to see me...?
With a thud, Li Po, pale-faced, fell to the ground inside the room.
"Sister...where are you? It hurts so much...Pearl hurts so much..."
Li Po lay on the ground, tears glistening in her eyes, her hands clutching her clothes tightly at her chest, looking extremely pained.
Hearing the commotion outside, Dongfang Yuanling panicked and quickly pushed open the door, striding in. He immediately saw Li Po on the ground.
"Pearl!"
Dongfang Yuanling quickly walked over, immediately picked up Li Po, and placed him on the bed.
"Perle, how are you? Where does it hurt?" Dongfang Yuanling grabbed his hand anxiously.
Li Po was in so much pain that her vision was blurred, and she couldn't even recognize Dongfang Yuanling's voice.
"Sister...it hurts...it hurts so much, my heart aches so much..." Li Po reached out her slightly trembling hand and grasped her hand, her voice full of grievance.
"Pearl, I'm not..."
"Sister... hug me, please hug me..."
Dongfang Yuanling was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Seeing him struggling to look up at her, his eyes filled with tears, yet his heart was filled with thoughts of someone else, Dongfang Yuanling felt a pang of sorrow.
“Sister…” Li Po spoke again when she saw that she hadn’t made a move.
This time, Dongfang Yuanling did not hesitate and reached out to hug him.
Li Po nestled in her arms, her hand still clutching the fabric of her clothes at her chest, her pretty face deathly pale.
Dongfang Yuanling reached out and gently wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
Sure enough, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Fruit could only relieve the pain temporarily. The Exquisite Heart had to be found and given to Pearl in return, otherwise Pearl would continue to live in pain.
But a truly exquisite heart isn't so easy to find...
...
In the Dragon Palace, Bai Qingnian lay asleep on the throne, Long Qianling no longer beside him.
Meanwhile, outside the Dragon Palace, reinforcements from various tribes surrounding the Fox Clan arrived, but they were ultimately too late.
"Your Excellency, what shall we do now...?" Hu Ruo walked to Long Qianling's side, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Kill them all, and take their inner cores as you please," Long Qianling said coldly.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Hu Ruo grinned and immediately called out to the demons beside him to fly out. Soon they were fighting with the demons who had come to support the fox clan.
Bai Yaoguang glanced at the battlefield not far away, where demonic energy was flying everywhere, and then at Long Qianling, who looked on with great interest.
"You are openly provoking the various races of the demon realm."
"Yes, is there a problem?" Long Qianling said dismissively.
"Aren't you afraid they'll seal you away again?" Bai Yaoguang asked.
After hearing this, Long Qianling sneered, her red eyes staring straight at Bai Yaoguang, "What? You want to stand on their side?"
"That's not what I meant. I just think it's a bit inappropriate to directly fight with the various races of the demon realm like this," Bai Yaoguang said, meeting her eyes.
"Oh well, nobody can beat me now anyway." Long Qianling looked away, a smile still playing on her lips.
"Don't be too smug. Don't you remember how you were sealed away in the first place?" Bai Yaoguang was still a little worried.
If Long Qianling is sealed again, what will happen to A Ling?
Long Qianling is unkillable now that he's become a god, but A Ling is not.
"Bai Yaoguang, remember your place. If you hadn't saved Long Ling, you would have been dead long ago just because you are Bai Fengfu's direct subordinate. It's none of your business what I do."
The moment the topic of sealing came up, Long Qianling's face darkened instantly.
Back then, if Bai Fengfu hadn't exploited her inability to let go of her clansmen and placed a curse on her mind, causing her to trap herself, she wouldn't have been sealed away.
Now that her inner demons are gone, who can seal her away?
To say she's too smug? Bai Yaoguang isn't qualified to comment on her!
"I……"
Bai Yaoguang was speechless for a moment. Indeed, Long Qianling was right. If she hadn't saved Long Ling, her fate would have been the same as Bai Fengfu's—death.
