Everyone stared at her in surprise. Qingge was also taken aback; she hadn't expected Chengxi to have such a hidden identity.
"You, you're from the Long family?" Qingge asked in surprise.
"Oh, the Long family? Yes, I almost forgot my surname. My surname is Long, and my name is Long Wanqing!" Long Wanqing (Cheng Xi) said with a wry smile.
"You, you are Sister Wanqing!" Qingge stared at her blankly. She remembered visiting the Long family when she was a child and often following behind an older sister to watch her write calligraphy and paint plum blossoms.
"You, you are..." Long Wanqing frowned as she looked at Qingge, seemingly feeling a sense of familiarity...
"I'm a little girl, a short girl! You thought I was a maid who came with the princess, and you called me a short girl because I'm small!" Qingge said with a smile.
"You, you're short?!" Long Wanqing stared blankly at Qingge.
“Yes. Sister Wanqing, you don’t need to worry. I’ve known for a long time that what happened to the Long family back then wasn’t so simple. I’ve secretly sent people to relocate your family’s core members. As long as we find the real culprit, your Long family will still be the richest Long family in the Weilong Kingdom!” Qingge said.
Long Wanqing looked at Qingge with delight, "Really? Really?"
“Okay! Come with me, I will give the Long family an explanation!” Qingge said earnestly.
“Okay!” Long Wanqing didn’t refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the dungeon.
Qingge's expression changed slightly. "It must be Duan Tianqi who sent people. We'd better leave quickly."
After saying that, he bent down and lifted the straw mat. There he saw the white fox lying there motionless, staring at Qingge with eyes full of anger.
Qingge couldn't help but smile, picked up Gu Liyan and said with a grin, "You're so good to me, aren't you, because I've acupunctured you and you're so obedient!"
With a flick of the finger, Gu Liyan's acupoints were released.
Gu Liyan, now free, immediately bristled, pointing at Qingge with her paws and huffing and puffing.
Being pinned underneath, its fur was all ruffled, making it look quite comical!
Qingge giggled, "Alright, stop being so temperamental. You can take us out of here, right? Hurry up, I don't want to stay here for another second."
When Gu Liyan swaggered into the dungeon, Qingge knew that Gu Liyan had the ability to get them out.
Gu Liyan glared at Qingge with annoyance. He never expected that the once gentle and weak "Xiao Bai" would be so powerful in this life! The aura she just exuded was almost as strong as his!
Without wasting any more time, Gu Liyan raised his hand and waved, activating the Chaos Domain to connect with the outside world.
Gu Liyan's eyelids twitched; he was almost completely exhausted and quickly signaled for everyone to leave.
Qingge saw that Gu Liyan's legs were trembling, so she quickly picked him up and said, "Let's go!"
The women entered the Chaos Realm and left the dungeon. At the city gate of the Kingdom of Shuyi, they emerged directly from the Chaos Realm.
"We actually got here!" Lan Ying exclaimed in surprise.
"This is amazing! It's even faster than riding in a horse-drawn carriage!" Huang Xi exclaimed.
Qingge was also overjoyed, never expecting that Gu Liyan possessed such extraordinary abilities!
Looking down, he saw that Gu Liyan in his arms had gone limp and was lying in his arms with his eyes tightly closed, his life hanging in the balance.
"Xiaobai! What's wrong with you?" Qingge shook Gu Liyan's body, but he didn't react at all.
Green Embroidery hurriedly stepped forward, "Let me see."
Upon examining Gu Liyan's body, Lüxiu was surprised to find that his symptoms were exactly the same as Gu Liyan's!
“It, how come it…” Green Embroidery pointed at Gu Liyan with a questioning look on her face, “How come it has the same symptoms as Gu Liyan?!”
Qingge did not continue the topic, but instead said, "You should leave the borders of Shuyi Kingdom first. I need to take it back to Fengchen Restaurant. We will meet again in Weilong Kingdom then."
Without giving anyone a chance to speak, Qingge carried Gu Liyan directly towards the Fengchen Restaurant.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Fengchen Restaurant. Qingge returned to her room, placed Gu Liyan on the bed, and closed the doors and windows.
"Gu Liyan..." Qingge looked at Gu Liyan with a worried expression. That kind of magical ability would definitely harm his body, and Qingge didn't want the long journey to further damage his health, so she came back to let him recuperate here.
Qingqing picked up Gu Liyan and laid him down, gently stroking his fur and smiling as she said, "You must be very tired, right? Get some rest..."
"Well?"
Seemingly hearing Qingqing's voice, Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the softness beneath him. He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find himself crashing into two peaks...
Then she was met with Qingge's blushing and angry expression.
"I... would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose..." Gu Liyan stammered.
"You're awake, why aren't you getting down?" Qingge surprisingly didn't get angry, but instead spoke with a blush on her face.
"Oh, oh." Gu Liyan hurriedly jumped down.
Qingge sat up and looked at Gu Liyan. "Are you... are you alright?"
"Injuries?" Gu Liyan asked in confusion: Could it be that she was referring to the injuries she sustained in the palace last time?
"I'm fine, I'm almost fully recovered," Gu Liyan said with a smile.
"What do you mean you're almost recovered? Do you think we didn't know?" Qingge frowned and said irritably, "You had an incurable disease and hid it from us, what a big liar!"
"Huh?" Gu Liyan was somewhat bewildered. He didn't have an incurable disease at all! It was just that the life-and-death contract within him had caused his breathing to become disordered, and sometimes his pulse would feel like he was on the verge of death...
"After you recover here for a few days, we'll go to the Kingdom of Weilong together!" Qingge said gently. "Then I'll let you see the might of the Kingdom of Weilong!"
