The barrier around Minghu Lake cracked, but thanks to the efforts of everyone in Phoenix Valley, it was repaired, and Qiongqi fell into slumber once more.
The Valley Master and a group of elders held an emergency private meeting with solemn expressions, while the disciples in the valley were responsible for settling the distinguished guests.
Qin Wan lingered at Minghu Lake for a while, using her divine sense to briefly investigate Qiongqi's situation before quietly returning to her residence.
However, what she never expected was...
Long Ze woke up at some point and was having a pleasant conversation with Qin Chao.
"Thank you, Miss Qin, for saving my life," Long Ze said to Qin Chao.
Qin Wan: "..."
"system."
【exist. 】
"Are you still of any use?" Qin Wan asked quietly.
[Host, you speak.]
"Qin Dynasty".
[Scanning...]
[Scan complete. Qin Chao is blessed by Heaven and possesses the protagonist's halo; in a sense, she is the protagonist of this world.]
"Check me again," Qin Wan said.
[Host, you have the villain's aura.]
"Oh..." Qin Wan gave a perfunctory reply.
"You advanced?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, the immortal power repaired some of the damage caused by my time travel, and I also regained some of my memories," the system replied obediently.
"No wonder..."
"Wait, scan Longze again," Qin Wan suddenly said.
"...Unable to scan." The system's puzzled voice sounded.
[That shouldn't be the case. Host, your soul strength is at the level of a supreme Immortal Emperor in this realm; I can even scan it.]
Why is this Dragon Lake...?
Qin Wan stared at Long Ze, momentarily lost in thought.
"Perhaps it's because you haven't fully recovered your memories and cultivation level yet," Qin Wan explained.
[Perhaps... that's true. Host, your current body is just that of an ordinary human immortal.]
The ranks of immortals in the Shangqing Realm are: Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Immortal Emperor, and finally, the Supreme Being of the Six Realms, the Main God Ling Jue.
“Long Ze is the future Demon Lord, and Heaven may have other plans for him.”
"Your cultivation and memories haven't fully recovered yet, which is probably why you can't scan him," Qin Wan explained softly.
Upon hearing this, the system was skeptical, but still felt that something was amiss.
Is it really just because it hasn't recovered its cultivation and memories?
Or is it...?
Probably not.
There is nothing in this world that it cannot scan, except for the creator god Ling Jue.
But as the host just said, this Long Ze is the future Demon Lord, and could never be a God Lord.
Thinking it over, the system stopped pondering and focused on continuing its cultivation, striving to restore its cultivation and memories in the shortest possible time and transform back into human form.
After the system went silent, Qin Wan stared blankly at Long Ze, lost in thought.
At this moment, Qin Chao noticed her presence and quickly waved to her.
"I'm back."
"Come here, let me introduce you. This is a new friend I just met. His name is Long Ze."
"The prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan."
Qin Chao nodded slightly to Qin Wan, appearing gentle and polite, yet maintaining a distance.
However, this sense of detachment was lacking when dealing with the Qin Dynasty.
Is this... a genuine claim that the Qin Dynasty is his savior?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly felt a sense of displeasure.
There are some people she can let go of.
There are some people, even if it's just a suspicion, she will never let them have their way.
"You're finally awake." Qin Wan looked at Long Ze with surprise and delight.
Upon hearing her words, Qin Chao and Long Ze's expressions both changed; one frowned in confusion, while the other's face darkened and looked grim.
"Qin Wan?" Qin Chao called out Qin Wan's name, squinting at her with a clear warning in his eyes.
"Sister, weren't you worried about why he hadn't woken up for so long?"
“Now that he’s finally awake, you can rest assured, sister,” Qin Wan continued.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chao's expression improved slightly.
"You have no idea, you've been unconscious for several days, and my sister has been watching over you every day, feeding you a whole bunch of magic pills."
"By the way, are your injuries alright?"
As she spoke, Qin Wan looked at Long Ze's chest with concern.
Upon hearing this, Long Ze stared at Qin Wan with his deep black eyes for a long while, then said, "I'm fine."
Qin Chao did not know when Qin Wan saved Long Ze.
They have been in Phoenix Valley for more than three months.
During this time, she was busy cultivating and familiarizing herself with the environment of Phoenix Valley and the status of the people around her.
Each day, she would only check whether her cultivation level had increased, in order to determine whether Qin Wan was diligently cultivating every day.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wan quietly saved another person, who turned out to be a prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan.
So what if I'm not favored?
As a prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan, he must possess a wealth of rare and precious treasures.
Not to mention, dragons are treasures from head to toe.
If she becomes Long Ze's savior, then Long Ze will inevitably have to pay some price to repay her for saving his life.
Thinking of what Qin Wan had just said about feeding Long Ze countless elixirs, Qin Chao was momentarily puzzled, but he still acquiesced.
Regardless of where the elixir Qin Wan fed Long Ze came from.
Let's claim the title of savior first!
"Thank you, Miss Qin, for saving my life." Long Ze looked at Qin Chao meaningfully and expressed his gratitude once again.
Qin Chao feigned indifference, saying, "It was just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
After saying that, Qin Chao gave Qin Wan a meaningful look.
Seeing this, Qin Wan immediately spoke up tactfully, "You are a prince of the Dragon Clan, you must have many treasures, right?"
"My sister saved your life and fed you so many elixirs. Don't you want to repay her?"
Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Qin Chao immediately feigned anger and glared at her.
"Qin Wan, how dare you be rude!"
As he spoke, Qin Chao looked at Long Ze and hypocritically explained, "Qin Wan has been neglected in her upbringing since childhood and has offended the Dragon Prince due to her ignorance. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Watching the two sisters sing in unison, Long Ze pursed his thin lips and silently removed the mustard seed space from his index finger.
"All my things are in there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Ze erased the contract between himself and the Mustard Seed Space and stuffed it into Qin Chao's hand.
He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Chao, saying, "I have important matters to attend to and must take my leave first."
The tall figure stopped abruptly at the doorway. "I will repay your life-saving grace with all my might in the future."
After saying that, Long Ze disappeared from the sight of the Qin sisters, Qin Wan and Qin Chao.
As soon as Long Ze left, Qin Chao immediately recognized the Mustard Seed Space as his own and probed into it with his divine sense.
After a careful review, she opened her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
"As expected of a prince of the Dragon Clan."
Even if he is not favored, his wealth is still quite substantial.
Qin Chao gripped the ring tightly, glancing sideways at Qin Wan.
"If you dare to hide it from me again when you save someone, I'll make you pay!"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Chao casually swung his hand and delivered a powerful blow to Qin Wan...
"Bang!"
"boom!"
Dust billowed up, and Qin Wan's courtyard was instantly razed to the ground...
Qin Chao watched with satisfaction as Qin Wan's figure was swallowed up, a fleeting glint of coldness and murderous intent flashing across his eyes.
If she weren't still useful, she would have killed Qin Wan for secretly saving people without her knowledge!
He rescued someone without telling her.
What if the dragon prince offends someone they can't afford to offend, and their rescue of Long Ze is discovered? Wouldn't she be implicated by Qin Wan for no reason?
