"Sheng Ning, in a way, I'm half your master, right? Can you call me master one last time?"
The Azure Dragon couldn't even blink.
He frowned and insisted on looking at the person in front of him with his golden eyes. Perhaps in order to make the person in front of him happy, he even joked with Sheng Ning.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning quickly replied, "Master! You are also my master. You taught me how to be a sword cultivator, so you are my master!"
"Very well, very well. With this, I have a dragon as my successor and you as my disciple. I am content with this life."
"It's just a pity I didn't get to see Tianzhu Xiu with my own eyes..."
The weak voice grew softer and softer until it finally disappeared completely.
There was a moment of silence in the space, and the next instant, different screams rang out.
"Father—"
"Master!"
"Brother Qinglong!!!"
The Azure Dragon closed its eyes so quickly that Sheng Ning and the others hadn't even had time to react before they saw the enormous Azure Dragon transform into golden light and slowly vanish before their eyes.
Sheng Ning stared wide-eyed at the scene.
She was also holding two bottles of Rejuvenating Pills in her hand.
Just as Qinglong closed his eyes, she still wanted to feed him the Spirit-Replenishing Pill...
"Father, my father, Mother, my dear father is gone... Waaah..."
The black iron chain, now free of its bindings, fell to the ground with a loud crash.
Sheng Ning stared blankly at the scene before her.
Feeling the little worm rush into her arms and cry bitterly, she unconsciously raised her hand and gently patted its body.
This was the first time since Sheng Ning came into this world that she had witnessed someone she knew leaving right in front of her.
She used to be very carefree and believed that everyone must die eventually.
But when she actually saw Qinglong die before her eyes, her mind went completely blank.
At that moment, she couldn't even utter a single word.
Bai Ze cried even harder than the pig-ear worm.
He is a divine beast. Since he came to have consciousness, he has lived with the Azure Dragon and the others on Tianling Mountain.
He knew best what Qinglong had looked like.
Now that his friend has died before his eyes, he cried until his soft fur was soaked, and he still hadn't cried enough.
Xuanwu, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but shed tears as well.
"Mother, Father is gone. From now on, your good son will protect you and all living beings."
The childish voice rang in my ears again.
Pigworm's voice was still choked with emotion, and he was still crying.
Hearing its resolute promise to protect her, Sheng Ning forced a smile and finally lowered her head to meet its golden eyes.
In that one glance, tears welled up in her eyes, even though she hadn't shed a tear just a moment before.
Smiling, Sheng Ning gently stroked its head and whispered, "Then I'll trouble you, my little darling."
As soon as she finished speaking, the worm pounced into her arms again.
This time it didn't wail loudly. Sheng Ning could only feel its body trembling slightly, and its clothes were soaked with its tears.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go. We're here on a mission this time."
Throughout the entire process, Qinglong had only one thought in his mind.
That is to save all living beings.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have exhausted his divine power to create that dragon egg, pouring his life's blood into it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his immediate death to exhaust his spiritual energy and run out into the vast world to search for his 'old friend' and savior when he realized he was about to die.
Now that Qinglong is dead, Sheng Ning blinked her tear-reddened eyes and squeezed the little pig in her arms.
"Son, can you sense where the exit is?"
As soon as Sheng Ning finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his hand and tap his head.
She had not yet recovered from the grief of Qinglong's passing.
Even the Azure Dragon couldn't find the exit back then, so how could the little pig worm, being so small, possibly know?
Thinking of this, she looked up at the world around her.
There were walls on all sides, and apart from an underground river beneath their feet, there was nothing else.
It's hard to imagine how the Azure Dragon could stay here for thousands or tens of thousands of years, enduring loneliness and torment.
Then I thought of the scene when I first met Qingyou during the monster frenzy.
She raised her head, suppressing the tears that were about to fall again, and said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, everyone, please make way. I'll try to open this door."
After she finished speaking, she summoned a rocket launcher and an enhanced laser cannon from her consciousness space.
Xuanwu had been sleeping in Sheng Ning's spiritual space until Sheng Ning advanced in his cultivation level, at which point he finally woke up.
Seeing Sheng Ning pull out such a colossal object from his spiritual space, Xuanwu's eyes showed surprise.
"Little girl, what is this?"
Bai Ze hiccuped as he wiped the kitten's already soaked face with his paw. "Old turtle, run away, or you'll get hurt later."
Xuanwu saw that he was still being stubborn even though he was crying like this, but he still listened to him and took a few steps back.
After confirming the direction of the underground river, Sheng Ning aimed the enhanced laser cannon and rocket launcher at one of the walls.
Although I don't know if my senior brothers are on the other side of the wall, being trapped here indefinitely isn't a solution...
The moment the blinding laser was emitted, a violent booming sound followed.
It's unclear what this wall is made of.
Sheng Ning spent several hundred high-grade spirit stones, but only managed to create a small hole in the wall.
"This wall is way too hard!"
Ignoring her inner grief, Sheng Ning turned around to make sure Bai Ze and Xuanwu were in a safe area before picking up the remote control for the rocket launcher.
The rocket launcher has a long range, and Sheng Ning was worried that the rockets would bounce off the wall, so he deliberately aimed the muzzle at a corner of the wall.
The moment the rocket was launched, another booming sound echoed throughout the surrounding space, followed by endless clouds of dust.
Xuanwu stared wide-eyed at the hole that Sheng Ning had blasted open.
After a long pause, he finally stammered, "Sheng Ning, she actually has so many treasures on her?"
Bai Ze raised his head upon hearing this, "Of course, Sheng Ning is amazing."
His proud tone made it seem as if he was praising himself, not Sheng Ning.
Sheng Ning hadn't expected that his enhanced laser cannon couldn't break through the wall, while the rocket launcher could.
She recalled the laser cannon, which was, after all, a powerful artifact, but...
He glanced back at the rocket launcher placed in the corner.
Could it be that laser cannons are no longer purely physical attacks?
She kept this topic in mind.
Once the world is at peace, she will definitely study this carefully.
Once the dust had completely settled, Sheng Ning put away the rocket launcher, then hugged the pig-like insect and reached out his hand to Bai Ze and Xuanwu, saying, "Let's go find our senior brothers."
