"stop."
Chu Hanyan shouted urgently, but it was no use, because A Shao couldn't hear her at all. She rushed over but just passed right through A Shao, unable to stop his actions.
Chu Hanyan looked at the little snake with some helplessness. The little snake saw Chu Hanyan's actions and smiled at her. The smile was full of satisfaction, as if to say, "See? I knew you cared about me. As long as you care, I am not afraid of death."
That smile stung Chu Hanyan's eyes, making her feel as if tears were about to fall, but unfortunately she was just a ghost and could not shed tears.
Ah Shao was also stung. That smile felt like a mockery to him, like it was showing off, "Look, I can see her, I can talk to her, I can smile at her, but she won't even see you."
Ah Shao's eyes instantly turned emerald green, and he no longer hesitated for a moment as he thrust the dagger at the little snake.
Seeing this, Chu Hanyan was extremely anxious. She couldn't care about anything else and could only use the little magic power she had left to block A Shao's dagger.
At that very moment, the surge of magical power allowed Ah Shao to finally see Chu Hanyan's appearance. She was not the innocent and carefree Chu Hanyan he remembered, who was occasionally melancholic and lonely. Instead, she was a Chu Hanyan with a stern face and cold, emotionless eyes that looked at him.
Chu Hanyan's gaze sent a chill down A Shao's spine, spreading from his feet to his entire body, as if to freeze him solid.
Because of his distraction, Ah Shao lost control of the dagger, which was knocked aside by Chu Hanyan's magic and deeply embedded in the stone bridge.
Chu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the uninjured snake, then her consciousness began to dissipate uncontrollably, and she knew nothing more after that.
In the eyes of Ah Shao and the little snake, Chu Hanyan turned into a wisp of mist and disappeared into the water.
The little snake just stared blankly, unable to comprehend what was happening, while Ah Shao desperately slashed at the icy river water with his hands, trying to hold onto Chu Hanyan's dissipating soul.
Ah Shao stood guard by the stone bridge for a long time, neither moving nor speaking. Just when the little snake thought he would guard it forever, he suddenly stood up, glanced at the little snake with emotionless eyes, and then turned and left.
Ah Shao's glance sent a chill down the little snake's spine, because he felt that this person was no longer the same as before. Although his appearance had not changed, he seemed to have aged a lot. The little snake wondered if it was just his imagination, but his eyes seemed to be red.
Only after Ashao disappeared did the little snake slowly approach the stone bridge. He admitted that he was selfish. He liked Yan Gui and didn't want anyone to take her away. So he didn't tell Ashao that Yan Gui actually still had a trace of life in her body, which he could sense in the stone bridge.
The little snake placed its hand on the stone bridge, then opened its mouth and spat out a dragon pearl. As the dragon pearl left the little snake, it suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the dragon pearl blood red.
The Dragon Ball quickly merged with the stone bridge, while another Dragon Ball, imbued with Yan Gui's aura, slowly emerged from the bridge.
The little snake held the dragon ball tightly in its arms, as if afraid it would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
There is a kind of dragon in the world called Chilong. It is a dragon but has no horns and is not recognized by the dragon clan. It is often driven out of the dragon clan at birth and becomes a monster that plagues the area. The little snake once thought that being born as a Chilong was the most unfortunate thing, but now he feels that it is the luckiest thing.
