The man approached slowly, taking small, frivolous steps and occasionally letting out a nauseating laugh.
His expression grew increasingly impatient, and the greed and desire in his eyes sent chills down Long Nanzhi's spine.
Long Nanzhi knew very well that every second that passed was squeezing her hope of survival. She didn't have much time left, and if the other party lost patience, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fear spread through her heart like a venomous snake, but she forced herself to suppress it, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying to calm herself down and think of a solution.
At this moment, Long Nanzhi was unaware that the nine-tailed fox that had kicked her down to the mortal realm was now hidden above the thick clouds, quietly watching everything unfold.
Above the clouds, spiritual energy swirled and immortal aura lingered. The nine-tailed fox was surrounded by a faint spiritual light, its nine tails appearing and disappearing behind it.
Each one seemed to contain the mysterious power of heaven and earth, and as it swayed gently, it brought forth wisps of auspicious energy.
This arrangement was made with profound considerations. Firstly, it was to allow Long Nanzhi to experience tribulations in this life, temper her mind, and learn and grow through adversity.
This is the path of trials that every member of the dragon race must go through. Only through hardship can they shed their immaturity and become strong.
Secondly, it also provides an extra layer of protection for Qin Qianluo.
After all, the man beside Qin Qianluo is reckless and impulsive, often acting without considering the consequences, and is always prone to getting into trouble when faced with complex and ever-changing situations.
It was hard for the Nine-Tailed Fox to be completely at ease; the more help she received, the more secure she would feel.
The nine-tailed fox transformed into a woman dressed in a plain white robe, with a graceful figure and extraordinary temperament, exuding elegance in every gesture.
She gently stroked her chin with her delicate hand, her eyes filled with contemplation as she looked down at the disheveled and pitiful Long Nanzhi, falling into deep thought.
I originally thought that dragons were exceptionally gifted and naturally intelligent, but this Long Nanzhi in front of me seems to be a bit slow-witted.
Faced with such a desperate situation, I couldn't think of any effective way to deal with it.
This performance seemed even worse than that of the reckless fellow beside Qin Qianluo, which truly surprised and worried the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The nine-tailed fox sighed helplessly, its gentle aura spreading through the clouds, seemingly carrying a faint trace of melancholy.
Her gaze then turned to the direction where Qin Qianluo was, her deep eyes seemingly able to penetrate endless space and accurately capture Qin Qianluo's whereabouts.
Standing above the clouds, she calculated with her fingers, silently estimating the distance between the two and the time required, repeatedly considering and weighing the pros and cons, not letting go of any detail.
After confirming that Long Nanzhi could hold out until Qin Qianluo arrived, the Nine-Tailed Fox stretched out its body, preparing to leave this world.
The oppressive force of the Heavenly Dao here is beyond imagination, eroding her power every single second.
There seemed to be an invisible resistance in the air, and even someone as powerful as her should not linger.
Otherwise, they will face unpredictable crises, and may even be detected by the Heavenly Dao, leading to more serious consequences.
Now that it was known that Long Nanzhi would not be in any danger in the end, and that Qin Qianluo would be able to reunite with her smoothly, the Nine-Tailed Fox was no longer worried.
Her figure gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist. Before leaving, she did not forget to take one last deep look at Long Nanzhi below.
His eyes held a hint of expectation and entrustment, which then vanished completely.
Long Nanzhi was left alone in that dangerous palace, waiting for the turning point of her fate and the arrival of Qin Qianluo.
On the vast, boundless, and turbulent sea, the warship led by Qin Qianluo was like an ancient beast breaking free from its restraints, forging ahead with overwhelming momentum.
Thanks to the advanced drive system far ahead of its time in Qin Qianluo's mysterious space, the warship's power surged and roared.
Driven by sophisticated machinery, the massive oars spun rapidly in a regular and powerful rhythm, each stroke stirring up layers of white spray.
Like strings of sparkling pearls scattered by the sea god, or like undulating white silk, shimmering in the sunlight.
With Feng Qingyun guiding the warship, it skillfully avoided the sharp, hidden reefs lurking underwater.
Those reefs are like menacing fangs hidden in the darkness, and a moment's carelessness can cause serious damage to a ship.
It also cleverly bypassed the huge whirlpool, which was like the gaping maw of a sea monster; once you were trapped, it was difficult to escape.
It can even cleverly take advantage of the ever-changing ocean currents, going with the flow and saving a lot of power and time, as if the warship is being gently lifted forward by the sea god.
In just half a month, the warship carrying its mission and expectations arrived safely at the border of Japan.
This astonishing speed is worlds apart from the ordinary ships that Tianxuan used to sail.
