Qingshan and Tuanzi turned around at the same time, only to see a beautiful young woman wearing soft scale armor sitting on the dragon throne. Qingshan only knew that she was the Queen of the Green Dragon, but Tuanzi exclaimed, "Green Branch——!"
The beautiful young woman was stunned and asked curiously: "You...what did you say?"
Tuanzi heard her say this, frowning and staring at her face more carefully. Finally, he exhaled and sighed, "I... I recognized the wrong person. You are not Luzhi, but you two really look alike!"
The young woman frowned and asked Tuanzi, "Do you know my sister?"
"What--?"
Even Qingshan was surprised. Were Lvzhi and this woman sisters? Yes, Huang Shulang had said that although Lvzhi was a bamboo snake, she had dragon blood and was a great demon. If it weren't for the damage to her demon core, she would have transformed into a dragon and ascended to heaven. So, it wasn't surprising that Lvzhi's sister had cultivated into a dragon.
"You-you are Bi Ye!"
The beautiful young woman could no longer sit still, and she stood up with a jerk. The chains on her ankles made another clattering sound.
"Who are you?"
"I am the spirit of Immortal Lord Xuan Huizi. I have known Lu Zhi since childhood. I heard her mention that she has a sister named Bi Ye—!"
After hearing Tuanzi mention Xuan Huizi, Bi Ye finally understood and couldn't help asking, "Where's my sister? Is she okay? More than four hundred years have passed, she should have become a dragon by now, right?"
When Luzhi was mentioned, Tuanzi's face darkened. He lowered his head and stared at the pile of white clothes at his feet, not knowing how to explain it to Biye.
"Replying to Senior Biye, Senior Luzhi... has passed away..."
Qingshan couldn't bear to see Tuanzi in trouble, so he told him the truth.
"W-what?"
Bi Ye sat back down on the chair in despair. After a while, she pounded the armrests of the dragon chair in anger, shedding two lines of tears.
"That little bastard Luzhi just wouldn't listen to me. He didn't practice properly in the mountains, but insisted on following a cultivator as a spirit pet! I really don't know what kind of magic power that Xuan Huizi has. Everyone is going crazy over him, and he won't let anyone rest in peace even after his death!"
Although Qingshan could understand her feelings of losing her sister, he also felt as if his ancestors were being scolded, so he quickly interrupted her to prevent Qingjiao from saying anything unpleasant.
"Senior Biye, the dead are the greatest. I believe that Ancestor Xuanhuizi would not wish to see the situation we are in today. I once met Senior Luzhi. She... was a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart. If it weren't for her, I would have died five years ago. Good people will be rewarded. I believe that Senior Luzhi will have another fate..."
Bi Ye wiped her tears and sighed, "Alas, after the death of Immortal Lord Xuan Huizi, I also persuaded Lu Zhi to come with me, but I didn't expect that she would stay to fulfill Xuan Huizi's last wish... Alas, you said Lu Zhi was stubborn, which is true, but her temper is even harder. Once she sets her mind to a path, ten oxen can't pull her back. She has to walk the path she chooses. Lu Zhi got what she wanted, so what else can I say as her sister? I only hope that she can be reborn into a good family in her next life..."
Qingshan thought of Lvzhi's old appearance and compared it with the beautiful young woman in front of him, and he sighed in his heart:
If the Green Branch Demon Pill had not been destroyed and her magic power had not declined, she probably would not have been able to maintain her appearance. She really sacrificed too much for Xuan Huizi and Ciyimen!
Qingshan climbed up the platform in the hall and came to the dragon throne. He recited the complicated spell in his mind, and then sent a stream of spiritual power towards the chain. With a "click", the chain around the young woman's ankle broke, and Qingjiao could finally leave the one-foot space.
Animals naturally yearn for freedom, and even after attaining enlightenment, they still cannot completely abandon this instinct. After being freed, the green dragon immediately transformed into a dragon and flew several circles around the spacious hall. After enough movement, the green dragon transformed into a beautiful young woman and landed in front of Qingshan, revealing a sincere smile.
