Ling Xiao's hands tightly grasped her wrists like iron pliers, showing an undeniable strength, so firm that Liu Yue quickly gave up her struggle.
She stared at him blankly, the stubbornness in her eyes gradually turned into deep love, and sighed: "I believe in you, but I have to wait for you for a long time, and I have to suffer for you for a long time..."
Ling Xiao laughed and said: "Is there any road to cultivation that is not bitter? Aren't we at the ascetic monks meeting now? Besides, as long as I am on the way to see you, I will be happy no matter how hard it is." His tone became softer and fonder. He ruffled her silky hair.
There was infinite sweetness in her heart, and she leaned obediently in his arms. Suddenly she thought of something, broke away, and said sternly: "How did you know that I was in the Dragon Clan, and the night watchman told you?"
When she left, she didn't want Ling Xiao to know that she was in the Dragon Clan because she was afraid that Ling Xiao would be in danger, but the latter still found out about it.
Damn night watchman...
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "It's not what they said, it was my own guess. Forget it, let's talk about this later. We finally see each other again, here..."
He brushed the sleeves of his robe, and suddenly there were several fragrant rice balls in his hands. The hot steam hit his face, and the thick but not greasy aroma instantly filled the entire cave.
When Guyin and others smelled this rich aroma, they couldn't help but look at it curiously.
June was also very happy. He hurriedly grabbed the rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate so quickly that he almost choked.
Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Slow down."
"I woo woo..."
June's cheeks were bulging, she kept talking incomprehensible words, she was quite cute and charming.
Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head. He really had nothing to do with this foodie, so he had to bypass her and look at the other two human monks in the field.
"In the Dragon Star Dynasty, Ling Xiao, what do you call your two fellow Taoists?"
The two people were envious of Ling Xiaoyan's good fortune. When they heard this, they woke up and hurriedly cupped their hands and said: "It's easy to talk, I'll..."
The names were announced to each other.
One of these two people is called Huzhang Zhenren, from the Huntian League; the other is named Xu Ge, from the Killing Moon Immortal Sect. This is a force far away from the Dragon Star Dynasty and the Huntian League. Ling Xiao has only heard of it once. .
As for Gu Yin's companion, his name is Li Hentian. He has a very domineering reputation and a pretty good personality. Both he and Gu Yin come from Daoyue City of the Demon Clan.
Daoyue City is the holy land of the demon clan. It is home to the most powerful demon clan in the Yunhuang Continent. The dragon clan is one of them, and its status is extremely noble.
Gu Yin and the other two were relieved to see that Liu Yue was no longer messing around.
If Liu Qiu really signs a soul contract with Ling Xiao, the Dragon Clan will definitely be furious, and then they, the two "witness demons", will probably be left with nothing to eat!
As a result, the second demon suddenly felt a fondness for Ling Xiao, who actively refused.
Although this man stole June's heart, at least he was sensible...
wrong!
No, no!
It's ridiculous enough that a dragon falls in love with a human. Why am I still putting in a good word for this human?
Before they could figure it out, Ling Xiao had already asked everyone about the route they had taken, planned a new direction, and asked everyone to re-sign the team contract.
There is strength in numbers, and everyone has no objection.
Ling Xiao finally knew why he and Gu Yin hadn't encountered witch ghosts for so long. It turned out that his routes and those of Liu Yue and others overlapped, and the witch ghosts were all eliminated by June first.
During the next journey, everyone was disappointed while moving forward.
Ling Xiao kept bringing out delicious food like a magic trick, and Liu Yue also refused to accept anyone who came. She ate everything Ling Xiao gave her with gusto.
The more Gu Yin and Li Hentian watched, the more horrified they became.
Each plate of those foods was filled with extremely pure spiritual energy, to the point where even the Golden Core cultivators were coveting it. I wonder where Ling Xiao got it from?
While June was eating, she was also exchanging information with Ling Xiao about the past few years.
After she came to Inazuki City, she was really uncomfortable at first, and her eccentric personality caused a lot of chaos.
But because she carries the inheritance of the Holy Emperor, and is probably the direct bloodline of the Holy Emperor, the Dragon Clan is extremely respectful to her. Apart from not being allowed to leave Daoyue City, they will do whatever she wants to do.
Therefore, she lived quite freely in Daoyue City. She had an independent residence and no one dared to disturb her when she was free. Only Qinglong brought some rare fire-type spiritual objects to her from time to time.
Of course, in addition to taking care of the bloodline of the Holy Emperor, Qinglong also had selfish motives for doing this.
"He hopes that I can pass the test of the Ascetic Monk Conference and get the chance to help him ascend to the immortal world. If not, I will find him some magic medicine to extend his life..." June said coldly.
Qinglong has been trapped in the early stage of becoming a god for thousands of years. Even though the dragon clan has a long lifespan, it has reached the twilight of its life. This struggle for change is precisely for the last ditch effort to compete for the immortal path.
"Then do you want to help him?" Ling Xiao asked with a frown.
"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time..." June was also struggling and confused.
On the one hand, she hated Qinglong for beating up the mandarin ducks and preventing her from falling in love with Ling Xiao; on the other hand, the old dragon really treated her as a blood descendant and taught her without any secrets.
"There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so you don't have to worry too much."
Ling Xiao could only comfort her like this.
This is not the case for him.
Of course he wished Qinglong would die immediately, but if this would make June sad and things became a little complicated, he could only ignore it for the time being.
"Are you really... the blood of the Holy Emperor?"
He changed the topic and couldn't help but ask again.
The Holy Emperor has been famous for five thousand years. He enjoys supreme prestige in both the human race and the demon race. If June is really the direct bloodline of the Holy Emperor and carries the inheritance of the Holy Emperor, then as Shen Qianhe said, looking at today's world, in terms of status, I am afraid no one is more noble than June.
Mentioning this, June showed a complicated expression.
"I don't know... Well, I went to see Ning Shuang's tomb, and my innate spiritual fire did react at that time. Qinglong said that my innate spiritual fire is called 'Red Hell Flame', which was controlled by the Holy Emperor back then. The divine flame was later given to the eldest son Ning Shuang. After Ning Shuang died, the red hell flame fell into a deep sleep and sealed itself in Ning Shuang's bloodline until I inherited it."
Ling Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Divine flame, red hell flame?
No wonder June’s innate spiritual fire is not only terrifying and domineering, it can also swallow other fire treasures to strengthen itself!
"So now the Red Hell Flame has released its seal?"
"without."
June shook her head.
"Qinglong said that only when I become stronger will it wake up again!"
"What he said may not be accurate."
"Maybe, but he...he is Ning Shuang's uncle."
"ah?"
Ling Xiao was stunned.
So, the dragon woman Ning Shuang fell in love with was Qinglong's...sister? No wonder this old dragon is so interested in June, he turns out to be a relative?
But that's wrong. Isn't the Dragon Clan's headquarters in Daoyue City? If June is a descendant of Ning Shuang, why was she born on Beiming Island?
