Suddenly, Bai Qingnian in his sea of consciousness was pulled out of the Abyss of Evil by a powerful force. When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the courtyard.
He moved his body slightly, only to feel persistent soreness. His half-brothers were nowhere to be found, but at least they were gone, which was a good thing for him.
What he didn't know was that his half-brothers, whom he regarded as monstrous threats, had already become food for a vicious tiger.
Bai Qingnian slowly stood up from the ground, only then realizing that she seemed to be holding something in her hand.
Looking down, her beautiful fox-like eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the pure white herb in his hand.
This is... the Spirit Returning Grass!
Bai Qingnian was overjoyed. He looked around and suddenly remembered the big black dragon he had seen.
The Spirit Returning Grass only grows in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils. His half-brothers wouldn't be so kind as to give him the Spirit Returning Grass. He had only ever seen that big black dragon, so this Spirit Returning Grass must have been given to him by her.
But how did she know she needed the Spirit Returning Grass?
Bai Qingnian patted her head, thinking to herself: Don't overthink it. The big black dragon looks very powerful; she must have a way of finding out.
Bai Qingnian was no longer so afraid of the big black dragon; on the contrary, he was very grateful.
If Long Qianling knew what he was thinking at that moment, she would definitely scoff.
He wasn't too stupid; he could still figure out that she had picked the Spirit Returning Grass for him.
Bai Qingnian was overjoyed and, ignoring his discomfort, ran towards his father's room.
Bai Qingnian quietly pushed open the door and went inside. His father was still lying in bed as usual.
"Nian Nian," Zhi Yan called out softly as he walked in, turning her head slightly.
Bai Qingnian immediately ran to his bedside, handed him the Spirit Returning Grass in her hand, and said excitedly, "Father, look, it's Spirit Returning Grass. Once Nian Nian refines it into a pill for you, your illness will be cured."
Zhiyan weakly reached out and touched his head, her somewhat haggard face showing worry:
"Silly Niannian, your father knows his own body best. You must never do such dangerous things for your father again."
Bai Qingnian shook his head: "A kind-hearted black dragon gave it to me; it's not dangerous."
"You mean... a dragon?" Zhiyan's voice trembled, and fear showed on his haggard face.
Bai Qingnian frowned, looking at his father's appearance with some confusion, and asked, "Father, what's wrong with the dragon?"
The dragon race was wiped out 30,000 years ago. Bai Qingnian rarely went out and interacted with people, so he naturally didn't know that there were no more dragons in the demon realm now.
No, there's another one, that's Long Qianling from the Abyss of All Evil.
He didn't even notice that when his father uttered the word "dragon," the black dragon sleeping in his mind suddenly opened its eyes.
Long Qianling didn't know why, but she just didn't want Bai Qingnian to know her identity.
Frustrated, she slapped the ground with her giant dragon claw, causing her entire sea of consciousness to tremble. Bai Qingnian felt a sharp pain in his head, so painful that he dropped the Spirit Returning Grass and covered his head with both hands.
"Niannian, Niannian, what's wrong?"
Seeing him in such pain, Zhiyan was very worried. He wanted to get out of bed to check on him, but his weak body prevented him from moving.
Bai Qingnian cried out in pain and fell to the ground, then stopped and screamed in panic.
"Year after year!"
He tried to get out of bed, but before he could even turn over, Bai Qingnian on the floor opened his eyes and stood up.
"Niannian, are you alright? Where does it hurt? Tell Daddy..." Zhiyan looked at him worriedly, and unexpectedly met a pair of golden eyes. "Niannian... your eyes..."
Long Qianling stared at him with a cold face. To her surprise, this old fox was actually a dragon-fox hybrid.
I originally wanted to kill him, but now it seems I can't. After all, he also has dragon blood. Tsk, what a hassle.
Zhiyan felt a little uneasy under her gaze. What was going on? Why did Nian Nian seem like a completely different person now?
"Year after year..."
"Old fox, this is not him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyan's eyes widened. The person in front of him was still the same as he remembered, and her voice was the same too, but her temperament and tone had changed.
It turned into cold indifference and a chilling atmosphere.
"Who...who are you? Where is my Nian Nian?" Although Zhi Yan was scared, she was still worried about Bai Qing Nian's safety.
Long Qianling blinked her golden eyes and reached out to touch the top of her head, but only touched soft hair.
She was somewhat surprised. So the little fox's ears and tail could be retracted? She had thought that the little fox's cultivation level was not high enough to retract its ears and tail.
The carefree Long Qianling completely forgot that when she was openly peeping at Bai Qingnian taking a bath by his tub, Bai Qingnian had tucked his ears and tail away.
She withdrew her hand with some disappointment, and said with a mocking laugh, "So, I am the dragon you speak of~"
"You..." Zhiyan was shocked and couldn't speak for a moment.
Wasn't the dragon race wiped out 30,000 years ago? Why... are there still dragons?
Could she be... from the other side?
Seeing his ever-changing expression, Long Qianling understood what he was thinking. She crossed her arms and looked at him with disdain in her eyes.
"You guessed right, I am the evil dragon sealed in the Abyss of All Evil!"
Black Dragon, the Abyss of All Evil, the one on Nian Nian's body is actually the most powerful black dragon in the demon realm, but why is it on Nian Nian's body?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, why did you appear on Xiao Yao's son..." Zhi Yan dared not look at her anymore and hurriedly lowered his head to ask tremblingly.
He was afraid, but he was still worried about his mentally challenged son.
Long Qianling seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and she was completely distraught. Thinking of the scene from that day, she gritted her teeth and said, "You should ask your good son yourself!"
Zhiyan was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly became so agitated. Had her son done something outrageous to her?
Does his son even have a chance to survive? This is the evil dragon who slaughtered half of the demon realm's inhabitants! How could his poor son's life be so miserable every year?
Long Qianling looked at his suddenly trembling and weak body and started to cry, her face showing annoyance over Bai Qingnian's fair face.
He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and a powerful force surged into Zhiyan's body.
Zhiyan felt as if the blocked meridians in his body had been cleared, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body, flowing through his entire body with that powerful force.
After he had completely absorbed all that power, Zhiyan clearly felt that his cultivation level had actually risen to a higher level, and his body was no longer so weak.
He looked up in surprise at Long Qianling, who looked annoyed, his mouth agape but unable to speak; he was so excited that he lost his voice.
"You have half dragon blood in you, and you need dragon power to open your meridians. If it weren't for your bloodline, I would have killed you long ago!"
