Chapter 124: Meeting the Baby Dragon Again
No matter how Bai Haochen pleaded, Bai Nianxuan and Bai Yue remained unmoved. When Bai Haochen set off for the Moon Demon Clan to find Yue Ye, Bai Nianxuan and Bai Yue departed as well. As for the others, they found shelter in a natural stone cave within a mountain valley.
Bai Nianxuan scooped Bai Yue up in a bridal carry. If they had to rely on Bai Yue’s speed to travel, it would likely take them half a month to reach the Demon Capital. To arrive at the Heart City as quickly as possible, Bai Nianxuan held Bai Yue and moved with great haste.
From the audience’s perspective, with only three prize spots available, the odds of winning were slim regardless of how high the reward was. By adopting this new method, there were ten prize spots in total, and the rewards remained quite generous, which significantly improved the chances of winning.
Deep within the Taya Dragon territory, Shen Sisi gazed at the stars, thinking of her younger brother, Lin Feng. Beside her lay a massive black dragon, which suddenly shook its head and spoke.
"Rest assured, I will persevere," Lan Susu nodded. She had not yet tasted the benefits of acting as an agent and did not understand Li Yaxi's choice.
The Azure Dragon Sword whipped up a violent gale as it slashed toward Zhong Yao. Ding Li’s swordsmanship, learned from Li Xin, favored agility and precision. However, as he shifted his technique, he adopted broad, sweeping blade maneuvers. Although he was technically using swordplay, the style of the time focused heavily on hacking and slashing, so the change did not appear abrupt.
She intended to rely on her own gradual cultivation to ascend. As for the so-called Dao Fruit and the Divine Dragon, she would simply let them be driven by her will.
Upon seeing this, Li Jun could not help but gasp, his face contorted with mounting terror. He could clearly sense the horrifying strength of this Ye Kai; it was a feeling of dread he had only ever experienced in the presence of his own family’s eldest brother, Li Yufeng.
Hang Yu had guessed correctly. Although Shen Miaofu had not come to greet him, she had been hoping he would approach her on his own. If Hang Yu had left without saying a word, she surely would have been heartbroken; fortunately, he had been a bit smarter this time.
Liu Huanxi struggled twice, but seeing she could not break free, she buried her face in Wang Hao’s shoulder and began to sob bitterly.
Li Weigong had reached low Earth orbit twenty minutes ahead of Hao Zhi and the others. Because he was piloting a Blood Moon "Fly" fighter, he encountered no resistance and arrived near the last remaining Starship without incident.
Peace had returned to Loufan City. Chen Gong was busy posting notices to reassure the public and extinguishing the fires at the magistrate’s office and the general’s residence. After Ding Li entered the city, someone led him to the former residence of the County Registrar to rest.
After she fainted last night, Helian Wei had brought her back, and when she awoke, she found herself in this state for no apparent reason.
Meixiang trembled at these words and fell silent, only continuing to sob in grievance. Zhilan mused that this remark might have reminded Meixiang of how Mingyue had ordered her to use the poison. Poor Meixiang—she had followed the wrong master, living every day in fear and terror.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light erupted from the Profound Ice Cold-Iron Sword. With a shrill, mournful cry, the sword spirit whistled as it leaped from Gu Yu’s pocket.
Although Dong Mingguang was already dead, the Emperor forbade word of it from leaking out, so he had to remain "alive."
Gazing at the massive body of the Snow Wolf King amidst the collapsed ice barrier, everyone still felt a chill run down their spines. Even though its ice barrier had been shattered by Gu Yu, the aura radiating from the beast remained immensely powerful, inspiring awe and dread.
"Get back! If there is any news, come and tell me again." Ren Lao dismissed the underling, stood up, and began pacing the room with a somber expression.
Returning from the disaster zone, the entire recruit camp entered a period of intense pressure. There was less than half a month left until the final recruit assessment! Zhong Guolong and Liu Qiang discussed the situation and organized a special squad meeting.
"Captain, to be honest, I’ve grown accustomed to life here. Once I arrived in the south, I really didn't adapt well," Zhong Guolong replied with a smile.
