Beneath the abyss.
After letting out a long roar, the little white dragon lay prostrate on the ground, motionless.
However, Shen Yunhao, who had cultivation experience, could clearly sense that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around Bailong suddenly became several times more concentrated the moment the blood halberd was pulled out!
It seems she was right; as long as the Blood Halberd is removed, she won't die so quickly.
As for what will happen next, Shen Yunhao has no idea.
"Eeya! Eeya!"
The little white dragon didn't react much, but the little clam spirit was overjoyed. After making two silly noises, it puffed out its round body and started circling around Shen Yunhao, looking extremely excited.
"You little rascal, are you that happy...?"
Seeing this adorable little thing, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but chuckle. In a moment of quickness, he picked up the silly little thing and held it up.
"Eeya!"
The little clam spirit felt very close to Shen Yunhao at this moment, hugging his arm and not moving, looking like a good baby.
Shen Yunhao then noticed that the little white dragon had opened its eyes again, and a gentle light flashed in the depths of its purple eyes as it looked at Shen Yunhao holding the child.
"Senior... how are you?"
"He's mostly recovered, but he still needs time to heal and recover..." Bai Long said, "However, there's still one thing I don't understand."
"Please speak freely, senior!"
Shen Yunhao thought she was going to ask about the principle of leverage, but the little white dragon seemed completely unconcerned about it. She simply asked, "Most mortals are afraid when they first see a dragon, but you not only didn't run away, you were also willing to help me out of trouble. Aren't you afraid that I'll attack you again after I recover from my injuries?"
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback by this, but shook his head.
"I'm still a little scared."
"Then why did you still dare to help me?"
There are two reasons.
Shen Yunhao didn't hide anything and said truthfully, "First, there is no other way out of this place. I definitely have no chance of getting out on my own. Only by helping you, senior, can we have a chance to survive..."
"Secondly... I don't think the senior would be ungrateful and attack me."
The Seventh Princess blinked and pressed, "Why is that? We've only just met, how can you be so certain?"
"First of all, I am just a mortal with no cultivation. Senior has no reason to attack me."
"Secondly, I happened to see a white dragon flying over Lin Yuan City earlier, which must have been you, senior! This means that you haven't been here for very long."
At this moment, Shen Yunhao patted the little clam spirit's head again and put him down on the ground.
"And this little thing is so familiar with this place, it must have been here a long time ago, and only recently met you, senior... Just now, you allowed him to leave the spirit herb to me, which is enough to show that you are a kind-hearted person. In that case, I am even more convinced that you would not do anything ungrateful to me..."
He ultimately didn't mention that hint of intimacy, because such a mysterious thing, if spoken of, would only arouse suspicion.
The white dragon's huge eyes stared at Shen Yunhao, and Shen Yunhao, without fear, met its gaze calmly.
After a moment, the little white dragon chuckled: "You just said you trusted me, but then you kept reminding me of your ingratitude. It's clear you're still afraid of me, isn't it?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao's expression froze.
Oh dear, the moral blackmail has been seen through.
"But don't worry, little one, as long as you don't have any wicked intentions, I definitely won't make things difficult for you, and I'll even help you get out... Although we are of different races, dragons never repay kindness with enmity!"
"I am relieved that you say so, senior!"
Shen Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Bai Long looked over again and sized up Shen Yunhao.
"..."
Shen Yunhao, on the contrary, felt somewhat uncomfortable under that gaze.
"Come closer, come closer..."
"ah?"
Shen Yunhao was taken aback upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything and slowly walked to the vicinity of the dragon's head.
Unlike its previous severely injured state, the little white dragon was now enveloped in spiritual energy, its scales were extremely lustrous, and its pale purple mane moved gracefully even without wind.
This made Shen Yunhao feel that the little white dragon in front of him was becoming more and more delicate and beautiful.
Moreover, the closer one gets to the dragon's head, the stronger and more obvious that sense of intimacy becomes. The initial nervousness is suddenly soothed, and one can't help but have the urge to touch the exquisite dragon horns on the top of the white dragon's head.
At this moment, Bai Long suddenly spoke up: "You said your name is Shen Yunhao, how old are you this year?"
"He has only recently come of age..."
"Oh? It's so small..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but twitch his face.
What do you mean by "so small"? You can't just say that!
I'm young, but you should express yourself more accurately.
"But in my memory, a bone age of eighteen... well, that should still be considered a child..."
That's a problem with your impression.
If this were the 21st century, eighteen would indeed be an age of naivety and confusion, but here... I'm an old man with a wife, okay!
"Maybe... I'm just precocious."
Shen Yunhao raised the corners of his lips, feeling that he had unknowingly put on airs again.
There was one thing he hadn't considered: for a dragon, eighteen years old was practically the age of birth...
"I know you want to leave, but... I'm still recovering from my serious injuries and really can't send you away. Why don't you stay here a little longer and talk to me?"
