Before he was engulfed by the thunderbolt, the last thing Si Jiu saw was his red eyes filled with reluctance and apology.
"don't want--"
Sijiu shouted and flew towards where they were regardless of anything.
The heat on her fingers suddenly burst out, and with a buzzing sound, the ring on her hand suddenly exploded, followed by a flash of red light in front of Si Jiu's eyes. The dragon scale that the young man had casually said was given to her to play with and that he would throw away if she didn't like it turned into a solid shield, and like a gorgeous cage, it trapped Si Jiu tightly, and then wrapped her up and flew in the completely opposite direction.
Rumble——
The third thunderbolt struck Zhulong in the air.
Zhulong's blood-red eyes stared at the small figure wrapped in fiery red light that was getting farther and farther away.
In such a painful and dangerous moment, with the lightning tearing at his flesh, he was thinking: Master must be really angry this time. How can I comfort him?
If there is still a chance to coax——
The figure was getting farther and farther away, and smaller and smaller. In an instant, it became a small fiery red dot, and then soon disappeared from sight.
Zhulong withdrew his gaze, looked at the terrifying thunderclouds in the sky, and suddenly let out a dragon roar.
What a bullshit natural disaster.
My Master, of course I need to go and coax him back myself.
After Zhulong roared, the demonic energy around him grew stronger and stronger, causing the thunderclouds to almost burst and surge.
His blood-red eyes slowly closed.
In an instant, the sky and the earth lost their color, the sun and the moon lost their light, and the world was plunged into a thick darkness.
The real Zhulong opens its eyes during the day and closes its eyes at night. It is the ancient dragon that controls the alternation of day and night.
…
Sijiu felt as if she had fallen asleep for a very long time. She tried her best to wake up and struggled, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
During this time, she could feel people coming and going around her.
Sometimes I can hear whispered conversations, but they are not clear.
Sometimes she could feel someone wiping her hands and face.
But among so many people, she was the only one who didn't feel Shen Xinghe's breath and didn't hear his voice.
Si Jiu was very anxious. She tried to contact the system to ask about Shen Xinghe's situation.
But I can't get in touch with him.
The look in Xing'er's eyes at the last moment and the second when he was engulfed by the thunder kept appearing in front of Sijiu's eyes, making her heart ache and breathless. At the last moment when she was protected and sent away by his dragon scales, Zhulong's eyes, which looked bloody but were actually very gentle, also made her feel suffocated and uneasy.
"Why aren't you awake yet?"
"Shuangshuang, look at Xiaojiu. Her eyeballs have been moving around since a few days ago. Didn't you say she was about to wake up?"
"Don't worry, you'll wake up naturally when the time comes."
“You say this every time, but you haven’t woken up even after so many times.
Shuangshuang, I suspect you are just trying to fool me."
"Don't you know what she took? Don't you know what kind of contract that man forced her to sign?
She'll be fine, why are you so anxious?"
"That little bastard...boy, is that soul-spirit ignition thing...really that useful?"
"He gave half of his life to the other person, and then shared life and death with him. The key is that he is not an ordinary person. He has now... survived the heavenly tribulation, and is considered... a demigod?
Do you think it’s useful or not?”
"...Okay, I'll just..."
There was a commotion outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Oh no! That...that guy is causing trouble at the mountain gate again. This time he brought a large group of monsters with him and blocked the mountain gate. The head immortal has summoned all the peak masters to fight."
"You evil creature! Shuangshuang, don't join in the fun. Go back to my peak."
"Then be careful."
"Don't worry."
The sound gradually faded away, and soon the room became quiet again.
But not long after, there was a slight movement.
Si Jiu was in a daze when she felt someone sitting next to her. A pair of dry and warm hands pressed against her fingers, then one finger at a time squeezed into her fingers, and then clasped them tightly together, forcefully and gently.
A soft, warm kiss was placed on her forehead before he nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck.
"Master, I miss you so much. Please don't sleep anymore. Wake up, okay?"
