The tide's attack did not achieve the desired effect, which made Yue Lishan's face even more unsightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
The attack just now not only failed to repel the unknown enemy, but it also seemed to have alerted them.
Nuantang stood awkwardly behind Yue Lishan, her eyes filled with unease.
Just as the two were filled with anxiety, they vaguely saw some large creature swimming in the white mist.
Through the gaps in the mist, a blurry black shadow could be seen moving slowly. The shadow was enormous, like a moving small mountain.
As the shadowy figure moved, a powerful aura of bloodline pressure quietly emerged.
The first person to feel this trace of bloodline pressure emanating from the Primordial Ancestral Dragon was Yue Lishan.
She felt an invisible, primal majesty that instantly tensed her body, her legs began to tremble uncontrollably, her knees gradually bent, and every inch of her skin could feel the heavy pressure brought by this majesty.
After only half a breath, Yue Lishan could no longer support herself, her knees buckled, and she knelt heavily on the ground with a "thud".
His hands gripped the ground tightly, his body trembled violently uncontrollably, his eyes were red from the immense suffocating feeling, and tears welled up in his eyes from the oppressive pressure.
Behind Yue Lishan, Nuantang also felt the terrifying pressure of this bloodline. Her face instantly turned ashen, her lips lost all color, and her body trembled violently.
Just as she was about to kneel down, she heard a soft breathing sound behind her, followed by a pair of strong hands supporting Nuantang's delicate arms.
As soon as Qin Luo appeared, the chilling pressure immediately subsided, and the thick white fog that had previously covered the sky gradually dissipated as the pressure faded.
The culprit behind all this, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, after catching a glimpse of displeasure on Qin Luo's face, quickly and silently returned to Qin Luo's Qi Sea, like a child who had done something wrong.
Nuantang's tense body relaxed the moment the pressure completely disappeared, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
She struggled to lift her head and look at Qin Luo in front of her, her eyes red and brimming with tears.
At this moment, Nuantang's heart was filled with a mixture of regret and remorse. She didn't regret the possibility of losing her life here. After all, from the moment she made up her mind to search for Qin Luo's whereabouts, she had already prepared herself to face all the consequences. In her heart, life and death were far less important than knowing Qin Luo's safety.
What she truly regretted was the deep-seated sorrow she felt when she thought she would never see Qin Luo again.
Not being able to see Brother Qin one last time in the final moments of her life, not being able to firmly remember his face, and not being able to tell him all the longing in her heart became an unspeakable pain in her heart.
Nuantang suppressed the lingering fear in her heart and cautiously asked:
"Brother Qin, are you hurt? You haven't come back for so long, and Nuantang was worried that something might have happened to you, so... that's why I came in to look for you without permission."
As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her fair cheeks.
Looking at Nuantang's face full of worry and fear, Qin Luo's gloom was also dispelled a lot.
Then he reached out and gently wiped away Nuantang's tears, saying softly:
"It's my fault for making you worry. I encountered some unexpected situations inside, which caused a lot of delays."
Hearing Qin Luo's words, Nuantang's worries subsided. She sniffed and looked at Qin Luo with eyes full of undisguised love.
She pursed her lips, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. After hesitating for a long while, she finally said softly:
“Brother Qin, Nuantang knows she may not be able to help you much, but she just can’t stop worrying about you. Even if there’s only the slightest chance, she wants to stay by your side and do whatever she can for you.”
“Nuantang… Nuantang is just an ordinary fox girl. She has no powerful background or extraordinary abilities, but Nuantang doesn’t want to be like this again, only able to worry outside.”
"Brother Qin, in the future... if possible, could you please take Nuantang with you? Nuantang knows her abilities are meager and doesn't aspire to be your help. She only wishes to be by your side as a maid, to offer you a cup of hot tea when you're tired, and to be there to listen to your troubles when you need her. Even just watching you silently would make Nuantang feel at ease. So, please, Brother Qin, take Nuantang with you, okay?"
This was the second time the girl had taken the initiative to reveal her inner thoughts. For the innocent Nuantang, these were words that she would normally find difficult to utter.
She was afraid that her abruptness would cause trouble for Brother Qin, and she was also afraid that her feelings would once again go unrequited.
But the sudden return of what she had just recovered from, having teetered on the brink of life and death, broke through the defenses Nuantang had been using to suppress her emotions, causing all her longing and yearning to pour out at once.
At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes held a hint of shyness and nervousness. Her lowered eyes occasionally stole glances at Qin Luo, observing his reaction.
Seeing that Qin Luo did not respond immediately, Nuantang's heart clenched, as if someone had forcibly ripped out half of her heart.
“Brother Qin…” Nuantang called softly, her voice trembling noticeably, the last syllable rising in pitch, as if asking a question, or perhaps pleading.
She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
