Seeing Mo Lan'an in such a sorry state, Shen Liuliu's heart tightened.
She suddenly understood.
The so-called three-month deadline is not because of the mortal realm, but because of the celestial realm.
In the mortal realm, three months is but a few hours in the celestial realm.
What were you doing in the Immortal Realm?
Shen Liuliu pressed for an answer.
She stepped forward, wanting to transfer her magic into Mo Lan'an's body, but he refused.
Instead of answering, Mo Lan'an asked a question with bright eyes: "Xiao Liu, your engagement with Jing Cong has been dissolved."
How could that be?
Shen Liuliu couldn't believe it.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to accept the marriage, but rather that it was an alliance between the two clans, and the Heavenly Emperor was not one to easily change his mind.
That's why she couldn't believe it.
"Really. So from now on, you can be free to be yourself. You don't have to tell yourself anymore that you can't like other people. Even if you don't like me, it's okay. But from now on, you can like whoever you want to like."
Mo Lan'an had a bloodstain at the corner of her eye, but the gentleness in her eyes neutralized the fierceness, making her appear incredibly gentle.
Shen Liuliu was startled.
He actually knew?
Knowing from a young age that he was destined to marry into the Celestial Clan, Long Xiaoliu suppressed his emotions from childhood.
She doesn't dare to easily fall in love with someone.
If I am even slightly tempted, I will restrain myself.
Because she is a dragon princess, she enjoys the glory that comes with this identity, and therefore must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
This is something that no one can escape.
Gradually, Long Xiaoliu became someone who extremely restrained her feelings; she wouldn't allow herself to fall in love with anyone else.
If you can't fall in love with the person you're married to through an arranged marriage, then you might as well never try to love them for the rest of your life.
She disguised herself very well.
Even her father and mother thought that she was born without the ability to love and didn't know how to like people.
But what they didn't know was that she was actually doing this out of restraint.
“An’an, you…”
Shen Liuliu felt a tightness in her chest and a bit uncomfortable, but there was also a faint sense of excitement.
At that moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or not.
"Liu Liu, actually I have my own selfish motives too. I did this because I wanted you to like me. You don't need to be touched."
Mo Lan'an didn't want to see Shen Liuliu feel guilty.
He was even less willing to let gratitude dominate the young girl's feelings for him.
“…Okay, I think we can give it a try.”
Shen Liuliu smiled broadly.
She no longer needs to restrain herself.
Then she could rest assured and give it a try.
Mo Lan'an smiled slightly and said, "Once I turn back and annul our arranged marriage, you will be truly free."
"Our arranged marriage... perhaps we should wait and see? After all, I'm only nine years old, and I have a long way to go."
Shen Liuliu giggled.
She was willing to give each other a wonderful opportunity.
"real?"
"Um."
"Xiao Liu, shall I head back now?"
"Go."
Shen Liuliu could tell that Mo Lan'an didn't want her to see his wounds, so she didn't force him.
Because she knew that the Celestial Lord Jinglan was never one to act recklessly.
If he is seriously injured and needs help, he will let me know.
only……
“An An”.
Shen Liuliu suddenly called out to Mo Lan'an.
Mo Lan'an turned around and looked at her tenderly.
No matter when, Mo Lan'an's gaze towards Shen Liuliu was always gentle and tender.
"Lower your head."
Shen Liuliu said.
Although Mo Lan'an didn't understand why, she still did as instructed.
Suddenly, their foreheads touched.
Mo Lan'an felt a warmth on his forehead and between his eyebrows, as if something had entered his body.
Then, he was shocked and quickly looked up, touching his brow: "Liu Liu, you!"
Deep within the space between the eyebrows, there is a rotating dragon ball.
Its smooth, radiant finish almost instantly repaired one-tenth or one-twelfth of the pain in his body.
"Are you crazy?"
The Dragon Balls are the foundation of the Dragon race.
All magic is contained within the Dragon Balls, and as long as the Dragon Balls exist, the dragon race will never perish.
But once the Dragon Ball leaves his body, he's just an ordinary person.
“I’m not crazy. An’an, I know that Lord Jinglan doesn’t need anyone’s help and is a man of his word. But right now, you are Mo Lan’an. If the Dragon Pearl leaves my body, I will lose my magic. But with you here, I won’t get hurt. The Dragon Pearl will help you heal, making the process much easier. You can return it to me later.”
Shen Liuliu said nonchalantly.
It seems that what was given away was not a Dragon Ball, but just a simple little trinket.
"You...you know, with the Dragon Ball, my cultivation level will increase by leaps and bounds. If I don't return it to you, your lifespan will be the same as that of an ordinary mortal..."
Mo Lan'an asked.
Shen Liuliu nodded: "I know, but you are Mo Lan'an, you wouldn't do that. Do you think it would be easy for you to help me break off the engagement? Okay, stop being so sentimental, go back and heal your wounds."
Although she couldn't tell whether Mo Lan'an was putting on a brave face, breaking off an engagement was no easy task.
Mo Lan'an reached out and held the other's head, forehead to forehead, the boy's voice firm and resolute: "Liu Liu, I will never let you down."
After Mo Lan'an left, Shen Liuliu called out to the void, "Father and Mother, come out."
Soon, two figures emerged from the darkness.
With a wave of his hand, a barrier appeared.
The Dragon King asked curiously, "Didn't you give the Dragon Pearl to Mo Lan'an? How could you have sensed our presence?"
"Just a guess."
Shen Liuliu plopped down and started peeling and eating oranges.
It's that simple.
The engagement has been dissolved. How could Father and Mother not know about such a big thing as this?
Now that I know, how could I not come to see her and tell her?
At the very least, they want to know what's going on between her and Mo Lan'an, right?
"My daughter, you are so smart."
The Dragon King gave a thumbs up.
The Dragon Queen said directly, "After Lord Jinglan ascended to the Immortal Realm, he reached an agreement with Lord Jingcong. As long as Lord Jinglan's cultivation level greatly declines and he can never reach the Lord realm again, Lord Jingcong is willing to go and tell the Heavenly Emperor to dissolve the engagement with you."
"A significant decline in cultivation? To prevent someone from ever reaching the Divine Lord realm isn't just a matter of declining cultivation, is it? Mo Lan'an is already at the Divine Lord realm; to want his cultivation to drop further..."
"That's right, Lord Jinglan subdued the Five Poisonous Beasts all by himself. The Heavenly Lord once said that whoever could subdue them would be granted a wish."
The Dragon Queen explained.
The Five Poisonous Beasts are very powerful, but a Divine Lord's cultivation level is enough to subdue them. However, the place where the First Heavenly Lord sealed them in ancient times has changed after tens of thousands of years, and now only allows those with a cultivation level below Divine Lord to enter.
If someone with a cultivation level above that of a Divine Lord forcibly enters, their cultivation level will be forcibly stripped down to below that of a Divine Lord by the laws of heaven and earth.
Shen Liuliu murmured, "No wonder."
Given the promise made by the Heavenly Emperor years ago, and with the encouragement and persuasion of the Heavenly Emperor's most beloved son, the Divine Lord Jingcong, it's no wonder that the Heavenly Emperor agreed.
