Chapter 223 Calling Your Name in the Name of Love
Within the Boundary Abyss.
Having endured the final punishment from Heaven, Yan Xi slowly opened his eyes.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips expressionlessly and turned to look at the sleeping Huali.
When Ao Bai's consciousness returned from the dream, he saw him slowly rising and covering Hua Li.
Ao Bai was so startled that he crowed, and was about to rush out and scratch the little bird's face, but he saw Yan Xi simply gently place his forehead on the girl's head.
He held his breath, maintaining the forehead-to-forehead position for a few seconds before standing up. "The second dream has begun."
At the same time, Yan Xi suddenly realized something. His tongue rolled around in his mouth and tasted the Shengxi Pill.
He glanced sharply at the big fat cat hiding to the side.
A spirit pet follows its master.
Perhaps unaware of its own size, it only hid its head, leaving most of its buttocks exposed, making it look like a large steamed bun from a distance.
Sensing no murderous intent, Ao Bai slowly poked his head out, only to see that Yan Xi had already gotten up and was leisurely walking upstairs.
Agent Cat immediately followed stealthily behind.
It needs to see how this demonic dragon suddenly died. And since it wasn't killed by the host, how can it be considered to have completed its mission?
The mermaid before him was completely different from the little merman in the illusion. He went straight to the demonic dragon that was still trapped in the air.
The previously arrogant demonic dragon now realized that it had stepped on the big boss's sore spot and misjudged him.
But it didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy. Its giant tail curled up in vain, its thick neck twisted desperately, and its throat squeezed out broken hisses. Blood kept flowing down from its scales.
Ao Bai, who had followed, immediately spotted the dragon pearl exposed on its outer side.
Yan Xi glanced subtly at the large steamed bun behind him, and suddenly remembered how the girl had left in such a hurry.
She wanted to kill the demonic dragon? But this creature is likely doomed...
Fine, just this once.
Seeing the little bird suddenly go down after it had just come up, Ao Bai, after confirming that the lunatic had left, quickly ran towards the demon dragon.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! My little Jiaozhu, my darling cat is here!
However, before Ao Bai could even touch the dragon pearl, the dying dragon suddenly breathed on him.
Ao Bai: "!!!"
The overwhelming stench was too much for Ao Bai, who licked his fur every day, to bear. As his eyes rolled back, his body was caught by a barely gentle stream of water.
Yan Xi, who had returned, was carrying Hua Li as he walked up step by step.
The surrounding cave was a sea of blood, and the demonic dragons had almost turned this place into ruins during their battle, but all of this was separated by the young man's embrace.
Yan Xi's steady steps were like a cradle, and the girl even unconsciously moved close to his carotid artery.
It's just millimeters away from the sensitive skin behind the ear.
Ao Bai watched as the two stopped beneath the massive, twisted body of the demonic dragon. Yan Xi gently took the girl's right hand, which was hanging by her side, and steadily wrapped it around the back of her hand, guiding her with almost pious devotion.
It accurately targeted the location of the dragon pearl.
The cruelty of Heaven had plunged his spirits to rock bottom, but as soon as he held the girl in front of him, his anxiety miraculously subsided.
The young man's voice was coaxing, regardless of whether Karin could hear him, "It will be over soon, consider it... a reward for letting you break your chains."
The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with the palm that was covering the back of Huali's hand.
"Pfft—"
The massive body of the demonic dragon stiffened, falling into complete stillness.
Ao Bai, who witnessed the whole process, said: "...Ruthless."
Yan Xi, with Hua Li by his side, slowly took out the dragon pearl. With a flash of spiritual energy in his hand, the scarlet dragon pearl became spotless, and was even shrunk down and carefully placed into the girl's outer pocket.
A flash of undisguised malice crossed the mermaid's eyes. "Sever..."
Why not give her the dragon pearl?
You're probably never going to live to see the day you can use it.

"I knew the little birdman was pretty good."
After listening to Ao Bai's description, Hua Li nodded and said, "See what I told you? As long as you persevere, you can definitely become good friends."
Ao Bai: "......"
It couldn't wait to see the day when the truth would come out, to learn the true purpose of the Flood Dragon Pearl, and to see the four ghosts who were on par with it.
And knowing that Zhan Li was framed... oh, maybe Zhan Li wasn't entirely framed...
Given the bird's personality, will it cry itself into a caterpillar?
Evil kitten: "Hehehe."
Ripples spread across the water around them. Yan Xi shrank the mother-of-pearl in his hand and handed it to Hua Li.
"For me?"
Yan Xi nodded.
"Wasn't this the task Guanlan told you? To give to Liyuan." Huali heard it with her own ears.
Upon hearing the name, a cold glint flashed in Yan Xi's eyes. He stubbornly shook his head and handed over the pearl.
"If Karin likes it, then it's Karin."
Look, look! Her little bird is so clever!
If only the lotus spirit in the Abyss were half as worry-free as the one in the dream.
Furthermore, judging from the system's task assignments, the little bird should be the lucky one, which means there are many ways to leave.
He can bind her to the Abyss of Boundaries, and she can bind him out of the Abyss of Boundaries.
As Huali pondered, Yanxi suddenly grabbed her fingertips, and the young man's spiritual energy swept across the seashell. "I've collected many treasures, they're all for you."
Huali looked at the warm light that had reappeared in the boy's eyes, "The Sea King is letting you act alone now. Did he give you something to eat? Or did he poison you?"
Otherwise, how come people who were previously imprisoned are suddenly no longer restricted in their freedom of movement?
Yan Xi shook his head; he was able to move because he had made a soul oath.
At that time, all he wanted was revenge; he would gladly do anything to drag that person down to hell.
But now, a century of hardship has not truly turned his heart into stone.
More than the oath of soul, he feared losing the warmth he had just touched.
The boy was silent for a moment, then tried to open his mouth...
This is something he's been thinking about lately; saying it would make him a coward...
But if I don't say it... if I don't say it...
Yan Xi closed his eyes, his throat making a sandpaper-like rubbing sound, and uttered his most solemn and humble plea at that moment with difficulty.
“Uh…flower…” The broken syllables were squeezed out with a hoarse, blood-like sound.
Seeing the girl looking at him, he shook his head anxiously, as if he felt that these simple words could not contain the surging desire he felt at that moment.
Yan Xi once again exerted all his strength in an attempt to materialize the imprint deep within his soul.
"pear..."
Upon clearly hearing his words, Huali's pupils suddenly contracted.
In a century of solitude, the boy is no longer the cold and ruthless blade of the abyss he once was.
What was lost and then regained allowed the barren soil of his depleted soul to sprout a new flower of life in the name of love.
The power of the Soul Oath was constantly stirring within Yan Xi's body, and the sharp, stabbing pains seemed to mock his cowardly desire to become a deserter.
But his god was so warm...
Even a fleeting moment of possession would be enough for him.
The offerings, now imbued with consciousness, cast aside everything and humbly beg for a brief respite from the world.
At the far end of the sea, Kaori heard him say:
"Hana...Rin...Let's...escape...together..."
