Yun Ao appeared, with flames of anger burning in his eyes. A powerful aura instantly spread in the air, making people around him feel a sense of oppression unconsciously.
Qingyao raised her head with difficulty, and her eyes, which were once bright and lively but now full of pain and fatigue, looked at the familiar figure in front of her.
For a moment, memories of the past flooded back like a tide, a mixture of grievance, sadness, and nostalgia. But soon, she silently lowered her head and continued to lick her wound. Perhaps the pain was too intense, leaving her no time to think about anything else; perhaps it was the stubbornness in her heart after being abandoned that made her unwilling to easily show her vulnerability in front of him.
Yun Ao looked at the injured Qingyao in front of him, his heart filled with self-blame and heartache. Those emotions that he had deliberately buried deep in his heart surged up again at this moment like surging waves.
During the quiet healing period, Yun Ao carefully treated Qingyao's wounds. His former confidence and pride had disappeared, replaced by eyes full of concern and tenderness.
However, Qingyao always looked indifferent, ignoring his concern and responding with only a few brief words. Her cold attitude was like an invisible barrier that kept him out.
Yun Ao felt bitter, but he didn't give up. He put aside the dignity and pride of the dragon clan and silently endured Qing Yao's indifference, like a loyal servant, letting her do whatever she wanted.
As the days passed, his persistence and dedication gradually melted the ice in Qingyao's heart. The love they once had was rekindled like a spark. The two regained the sweetness of the past, secretly got married under the moonlight, and made lifelong promises to each other.
However, this happiness did not last long. When the news of their secret marriage reached the ears of both families, their peaceful life was instantly broken.
The opposition from the two tribes was like a surging wave, forcing them to live a life of hiding from place to place. But even so, Yun Ao never complained. He only wanted to protect Qingyao and taught her the skills he mastered without reservation, even at the cost of his own spiritual power, just to help her grow.
Under Yun Ao's careful teaching and spiritual nourishment, Qingyao quickly grew from a three-tailed fox to an eight-tailed fox, his strength increased greatly, and he gradually became a presence that could not be underestimated in the fox clan.
But at the critical moment when Qingyao was about to break through and become a nine-tailed fox, Yun Ao disappeared without a trace again.
Qingyao searched frantically, using her powerful spiritual power to search everywhere. The fox and dragon tribes also joined the search for various reasons. However, Yun Ao seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
Time passed slowly, and tens of thousands of years passed in a flash. Qingyao gradually despaired in her long search. Her once passionate heart finally cooled down after countless disappointments. She resolutely cut off her love and devoted all her energy to the development of the fox clan, becoming an awe-inspiring patriarch of the fox clan. The past love also became a dusty memory in her heart, buried deep under the long river of time.
Now in this lower human world, she actually saw her former lover, including her former race, all frozen here. Qingyao unconsciously took two steps back.
