Blood Demon Dragon let out a "yo-ho" and patted his chest, saying, "Big sister, your Dragon Grandpa may have been a bit lecherous in the past, but I didn't do anything to you, did I?"
"Besides, how old are you, little girl? When your Grandpa Dragon was enjoying himself in the Heavenly Realm, you weren't even born yet!"
Zi Yue snorted and turned her head away, muttering "old lecher" under her breath.
Lan Hua and Ba Xia exchanged a glance, sensing that something was off.
The Blood Demon Dragon didn't bother arguing with Zi Yue and said, "Boy, have you really entered the River of Separation?"
"good!"
Lan Hua said, "We have been cultivating inside for a very long time, perhaps a thousand years!"
"millennium?"
The Blood Demon Dragon opened its eyes wide, like large, flashing lanterns, and said:
"Only two hundred years have passed, yet you're saying a thousand years have gone by!"
"Kid, you're not mistaken, are you?"
Zi Yue said coldly, "Xiao Hua Zi is indeed mistaken. I calculated in the River of Time that we have been here for exactly 2,170 years!"
"What?"
Lan Hua and Ba Xia cried out in disbelief, while the Blood Demon Dragon flew around erratically in mid-air.
"My goodness! Time inside the River of Time is different from the outside world, it's ten times different! It's unbelievable, no wonder it's called the River of Time!"
Blood Demon Dragon exclaimed in surprise, "Boy, so you're an old monster who's lived for over two thousand years!"
Lan Hua touched her nose, momentarily unable to believe it.
"Yue'er, is what you're saying true?"
Zi Yue smiled and nodded, "You've been fighting and cultivating all along, so I'm just responsible for keeping track of the time. There won't be any mistakes!"
Blood Demon Dragon's sharp eyes swept over Lan Hua and Ba Xia, and only after clearly seeing their cultivation levels did he become completely convinced.
"Both of them are at the late stage of the Profound Rank, almost at their peak. It's absolutely impossible for them to reach that level in less than two thousand years!"
Lan Hua and Ba Xia finally accepted reality. Although their cultivation had greatly increased, their age had also increased significantly.
"Senior Dragon, what changes have occurred in the mortal realm over the past two hundred years? Has the Heavenly Realm Calamity taken place?"
The Blood Demon Dragon said, "The great calamity hasn't come yet, but I think it's coming soon."
Significant changes have occurred in the past two hundred years; several individuals in the Half-Heaven Realm have successfully transcended tribulations and become Celestials!
Lan Hua became anxious upon hearing this, "But what about Du Renjie and Nalan Ruode? Have they all entered the Heavenly Realm?"
Zi Yue remained silent, knowing what Lan Hua was worried about: that his friend might enter the Heavenly Realm, encounter a great calamity, and lose his life for no reason.
Blood Demon Dragon said, "Don't worry, they're all fine!"
"I know they are your friends, so I stopped everyone who successfully survived the tribulation. They can't be used as cannon fodder!"
Lan Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, several figures rushed over, all radiating Heavenly Yuan Power, indicating they were experts at the Heavenly Human Realm.
Lan Hua glanced at them briefly and immediately recognized who they were: Du Renjie, Nalan Ruode, and Chen Xingnan.
Even after becoming a celestial being, Du Renjie maintained his aloof demeanor and said:
"Brother Lan, Prince Long, you're finally back! Senior Long told me you entered the River of Separation, and I didn't quite believe it!"
After saying that, she glanced at Zi Yue and smiled, "Is this my sister-in-law? She's so beautiful!"
Zi Yue smiled slightly, which was a way of returning the greeting, but she was still very happy inside.
Blood Demon Dragon snorted, "Your character may be questionable, but I'm not one to lie!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "It's great that you didn't enter the Heavenly Domain, otherwise I would definitely have gone to the Heavenly Domain to look for you!"
Nalan Ruode looked at the unfathomable Lan Hua, shook his head and sighed, "In this lifetime, I will never catch up with you. Even the Dragon Core is nothing special!"
He has come to terms with reality.
Dragon cores are ultimately of varying strengths; if one obtains the core of a dragon venerable, the situation might be different.
However, the Venerable One's inner core is extremely domineering; if it were forcibly implanted, it would only cause the body to explode and the person to die.
Therefore, the cultivation methods of the Dragon Clan are ultimately limited.
Chen Xingnan also had mixed feelings. His former weak fellow villager Xuan Yu was doing much better than him.
But they didn't realize that with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
After some conversation, Lan Hua learned that most of those who obtained the Zhu Yang Immortal Fruit successfully transcended their tribulations and became celestial beings, but none of them entered the Heavenly Realm.
Lan Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still wondering how Huo Xiaoxiao was doing.
With Ziyue standing to the side, Lanhua ultimately didn't ask the question.
After everyone left, the Blood Demon Dragon suddenly said, "Little Turtle, someone from the Dragon Clan has sent a message saying that you haven't returned for a long time and they want you to go back to the Fierce Plow Mountain Realm!"
Baxia asked in bewilderment, "I'm doing just fine outside, why would you want me to go back?"
Lan Hua, however, keenly sensed something unusual. The Dragon Emperor was doing this simply because he was worried that Baxia might run into a great calamity if he went to the Heavenly Realm.
So, all I wanted to do was protect the dragon prince.
Lan Hua patted Baxia's little head and said, "Since the Dragon Clan has summoned you, you should go back. There's nothing to do in the lower realm; everything is fine!"
"Alright then, take care!"
Lan Jia nodded with a smile and waved.
After parting ways with the Blood Demon Dragon, Lan Hua took Zi Yue's hand and returned to Xuan Yu.
Outside the Misty Valley, Zi Yue let out a soft "hmm," prompting Lan Hua to turn and ask, "What's wrong?"
Zi Yue pouted, pointed to the Misty Valley, and said, "Look, who's back?"
Lan Hua slightly extended her divine sense and exclaimed in surprise, "It's Brother Big Gray! Why is he back?"
"How would I know? A dog is a dog. Once it's off its leash, it won't come home!" Zi Yue snorted.
Upon entering the Misty Valley, Xiaotian was already waiting for them, accompanied by a beautiful woman in a white dress. It was Wangyue, Xiaotian's old lover.
The moon is beautiful, but it still can't compare to the purple moon.
When Lan Hua last saw her, she was still at the Yuanxiang Realm, but now she has become a Celestial Being.
"Master, Xiao Hua Zi, you're finally back! We've missed you so much!"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "Yes, ever since we left the Pill God Palace, we've been separated so little. I really miss you!"
Zi Yue's expression was indifferent as she calmly said, "Now that you have a wife, you've forgotten about your home. Don't you need to look after this house anymore?"
Wang Yue blushed and said, "Miss Zi Yue, please don't be angry. Xiao Tian did this all because of me. I apologize!"
After speaking, Wangyue bowed to Ziyue.
Zi Yue waved her hand and said, "Never mind, Big Gray also has the right to pursue his own happiness."
Big Grey, from now on, you don't need to follow me anymore. You and Wangyue can live a good life together.
By the way, you shouldn't go to the Heavenly Realm for now. Once the great calamity is over, you can go wherever you want!
Xiaotian exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Master!"
Zi Yue sighed, "Big Grey, we have been master and servant for a hundred years, experiencing many strange and wonderful things. You should take good care of yourself from now on!"
Suddenly, Xiaotian's body flashed with light, transforming into a large yellow dog, and he quickly ran to Ziyue's side.
The dog nuzzled Zi Yue's legs, and Zi Yue's eyes welled up with tears. She squatted down and patted the dog's head.
"Go ahead, be careful. I really don't trust your personality. If you encounter bad people, you absolutely must not defect to the enemy!"
"Come back and visit me when you have time, I'll cook you something delicious!"
Lan Hua was initially moved, but after hearing this, she was speechless.
Isn't this the kind of temperament only huskies have? How could Big Gray, a purebred country dog, possibly betray us?
The big grey dog slowly walked out of the valley, looking back every now and then, until it disappeared with Wangyue.
