When Long Chen and the Dragon Blood warriors walked out of Lingxiao Academy, everyone watched them leave. Whether disciples from the main academy or the first branch, they all felt a bit uneasy.
They knew that the Dragonblood Legion's target this time was directly aimed at the Great Wilderness. The Great Wilderness was filled with countless secrets and endless dangers. There were unknowns and hope, concealing the greatest secrets of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
They wanted to go too, but they knew they weren't qualified. Even those who had awakened the Destiny Roulette wouldn't dare say they wanted to go with the Dragonblood warriors.
Because they knew that only those of their level qualified to enter the Great Wilderness, and if they went, it would only drag others down.
Long Ziwei and the others watched the Dragon Blood Legion leave. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I must cultivate diligently. Even if I can't catch up with them, I can't be left behind, not even a shadow of them." The
disciples present were filled with admiration for Long Chen, but also with deep unwillingness. They had the chance to meet such a peerless powerhouse, but they weren't qualified to follow him.
Before they met Long Chen, they were arrogant prodigies, labeled as geniuses. Only after meeting Long Chen did they understand what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well.
From Long Chen, they saw a broader world and gained the clearest understanding of geniuses. They wanted to follow Long Chen and experience a broader world, but unfortunately, they didn't have the qualifications.
Behind the academy, inside the Alchemy Institute, Yu Qingxuan stood tall and graceful, her eyes brimming with tears. She watched Long Chen and the others walk away, her voice choked with emotion:
"I know you want to protect me, but I want to protect you too. The one I love most, wait for me. I want to reclaim the power that belongs to me."
Yu Qingxuan turned to look at the statue. Her eyes shimmered with a sacred light. At the same time, the exquisite Blood Magnolia in the statue's hand quietly bloomed. As the divine light flowed, Yu Qingxuan's figure vanished in an instant—she actually entered the orchid.
...
"Rumble rumble... The
flying boat roared out, watching the academy shrink in size. Everyone was extremely excited. They knew that what they were about to see was a whole new world—one full of dangers and filled with countless treasures.
This time, besides the full members of the Dragonblood Legion, there were three more people: Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, and Luo Ning. Luo Bing and Luo Ning were especially excited because they knew Long Chen was taking them to search for the Purple Blood clan.
After being apart from their clan for so long, they were constantly worried about them. But since they were well-behaved and sensible, they never dared show it in front of Long Chen, fearing it might affect his mood.
Now, Long Chen had brought them out, and the two were so excited they were almost screaming.
"Guo Ran, your flying boat is an antique. Now our Dragon Blood Legion has a status and status. Can we get a cooler flying boat in the future?" Inside the flying boat, Gu Yang said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"There's nothing we can do. We're so busy every day that our feet hit the back of our head, and now we're even more busy designing our new armor and weapons. We wish we could split them into two pieces each day for use. Who has time to worry about these flying boats? Boss Gu Yang, just put up with this for a bit!" Guo Ran said helplessly.
This flying vessel was an immortal artifact-level vessel, no longer suitable for the Dragonblood Legion's status. But as he said, he was truly busy right now, barely able to catch his breath.
"It's fine for me to be upset, but the key is that the boss is so wise and mighty. Letting him ride on such a flying boat really doesn't seem quite appropriate!" Guyang said.
"I know too, but there's nothing I can do!" Guo Ran shrugged and said.
"Actually, there is a way!"
At this moment, Mu Qingyun suddenly interjected.
"Wow, Qingyun beauty, what do you have to do about it?" When Guo Ran and the others heard Mu Qingyun say there was a way, their eyes lit up.
"No matter how the flying boat is broken, as long as we can find someone to pull it, that's enough!" Mu Qingyun covered his mouth and laughed.
"Smack!"
Guo Ran slapped his thigh, "That's right, we're catching a powerful beast to pull the cart—isn't that pretty cool?" Preferably a Human Emperor-level beast, haha, Qingyun beauty, you're really smart. "
But where can I find a Human Emperor-level demon beast?" Li Qi couldn't help but say.
"Let's just have luck. Don't worry, as long as the boss is here, the journey will definitely not be peaceful." Guo Ran pointed in front of the flying boat and gave a sinister smile.
At the very front of the flying vessel was a separate quiet chamber, offering the best view. Inside the chamber were only Bai Shishi and Long Chen.
"What are you laughing at?"
Ever since boarding the flying boat, Bai Shishi had been watching Long Chen with a smile in her eyes. Long Chen had been stared at so much that he couldn't help but laugh.
"Being alone with you makes me so happy." Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen, her fair cheeks full of satisfaction and warmth, her eyes as clear as water, her autumn eyes shimmering with affection, evoking a sense of pity.
Looking at Bai Shishi's expression, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Once upon a time, this academy's favored daughter, looking down on all the prodigies, now felt so content.
Long Chen couldn't help but open his arms and pulled Bai Shishi tightly into his embrace. Bai Shishi's delicate body trembled, feeling Long Chen's strong arms and warm chest, listening to his heartbeat. At that moment, she choked up. At that moment, she felt Long Chen belonged only to her.
"Sorry, am I being a bit too selfish? I'm not jealous of Sister Qingxuan, but I can't help it—I like being alone with you." Bai Shishi choked up, tears already soaking Long Chen's collar.
Hearing Bai Shishi's words, Long Chen's heart ached even more: "I should say I'm the one who apologizes. If reincarnation exists, I hope that every time I meet only one of you, I will devote all my love to you alone." Long
Chen recalled many confidantes, each deeply devoted to him. Even if he were shattered, it would be hard to repay their kindness. No matter how unmatched his skills were, he couldn't resist this gentle affection.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Bai Shishi smiled, laughing happily, because in Long Chen's words, it proved that in Long Chen's heart, she held the same status as Yu Qingxuan and the others. Just that alone was enough for her to be completely satisfied.
"Roar!"
Just as Long Chen and Bai Shishi were in a sweet and affectionate relationship, a thunderous roar shook heaven and earth, and a massive creature blocked the flying boat.
It was a rhinoceros with a pair of golden horns, its entire body covered in golden scales. Its body was like a towering mountain, towering from heaven to earth. When the flying boat entered its territory, it roared, opened its huge mouth, and sprayed a ball of golden flames toward the flying boat.
Long Chen was furious when he heard the voice, but before he could act, Bai Shishi had already charged out immediately.
