Sister, send that doll over so I can take care of it. I'll give up on the dragon-bir

Shen Shuan was shocked, Long Yunmei was shocked, Long Yan was shocked, and Wu Bo was shocked.

"The night is dark! Old Ancestor Bai, you..."

Wu Bo's hands trembled, but the black dragon in the picture seemed to have seen something and actually came closer.

"Huh? Eh~"

His gaze locked onto Shen Shuan, and he tilted his head slightly.

But at that moment, the transmission stone in Bai Aoxue's hand finally gave out, ending her "diligent" life.

The screen suddenly went dark.

The five of them breathed a sigh of relief. Old Ancestor Bai was standing there unharmed, so he must be alright.

But on the Xuan Bird Secret Realm side, Ye Anran looked at Bai Aoxue expectantly and said, "Sister, why does that doll on the other side look so familiar to me?"

As she spoke, Ye Anran blinked her big, shy eyes, her long, curled eyelashes framing her face: "Sister, it looks like my baby!"

Bai Aoxue: "..."

Bai Aoxue's jaw muscles bulged on the sides of her face, and she closed her eyes.

You think you can give birth to them? You can give birth if you can, I'm more likely to give birth!

"Sister, say something, sister."

Seeing that Bai Aoxue remained silent, Ye An emerged from the water, her large eyes approaching Bai Aoxue's side.

"Sis, send that doll over so I can take care of it. I'll quit this dragon-bird love affair. Just say the word, sis."

Bai Aoxue, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and slapped Ye Anran on the head with a crisp "Bang!"

"Ouch, it doesn't hurt, hehe, hehehehehe!"

Bai Aoxue was so angry she almost laughed. "Who cares about your dragon-bird romance? The main thing is that the black bird is already dead!"

"So be it, it's dead. But you froze its body for a hundred years, disturbing the birds' peace. That's a great evil, something a dragon wouldn't do!"

Ye Anran listened to Bai Aoxue start again and lowered her eyes unhappily.

  

He slapped his beard twice on the water's surface, then dived back to the bottom of the pool, leaving only gurgling bubbles and muffled sounds.

"Sister, you don't understand, we have eggs..."

Bai Aoxue looked at the lake surface, which had returned to calm, sighed deeply, and rubbed her forehead in worry.

"Ugh."

She and Ye Anran are not biological siblings, but were both adopted and raised by Qian Fengpian, the Dragon King of the Upper Realm.

Ye Anran was born with a love for the Feathered Clan, and five thousand years ago she fell in love with the Mysterious Bird of this Secret Realm.

but……

Bai Aoxue frowned, closed her eyes, sighed inwardly, and walked out of the nest.

"The night is dark, and you rot and stink here, with no one to care, but a dead person is dead after all."

"You've ruined your own future; no dragon can interfere."

"However, this secret realm will soon become a trial realm for disciples from the five continents of East, West, South, North, and Central. Do not cause trouble."

As the cold voice fell, Bai Aoxue's figure vanished in a flash.

The black pool rippled a few times, and the night darkened, raising only a small head, revealing only a pair of large eyes.

"No, sis, what do you know? She's not dead!"

"Besides, you think you can just say we won't cause trouble and then we won't?"

"I am Ye Anran!"

As he spoke, he arrogantly raised his head slightly.

But this posture lasted for less than a second before it quickly dissipated.

Ye looked at the dark cave where he was the only one left, remained silent for two seconds, then lowered his head and returned to the icy pool.

At the bottom of the icy pool, Ye Anran held the ice coffin in his arms. The feathers and thin eggshell of the black bird inside were still clearly visible. He gently swayed his tail and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Moon, you said you were only going to sleep for a while, but now a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. When will you finally wake up?"

Ye Anran gently rested her head on the ice coffin, and slowly closed her eyes as she murmured something.

Loneliness, longing, and a deep-seated, uninteresting solitude.

But if he's not here, how lonely they would be all alone?

……

On Shen Shuan's side.

Seeing the transmission stone suddenly go black, Uncle Wu breathed a sigh of relief, as did Long Yan and Long Yunmei.

Seeing this, Shen Shu'an looked at Xuan Yi, then at the three of them who were relieved, and asked curiously, "Uncle Wu, Aunt Mei, Uncle Yan, what exactly did that demonic dragon do?"

Moreover, Shen Shu'an glanced lightly at Xuan Yi, unable to voice the question in her heart.

That demonic dragon looks just like Xuan Yi's father!

Even though Shen Shu'an tried her best to hide it, Xuan Yi still noticed the unspoken doubt in Shen Shu'an's mind.

He lowered his eyes gently, recalling the black dragon that had been talking incessantly to him in his dream last night.

"Oh, by the way, grandson, Grandma's here to tell you, you have several uncles and aunts."

"But remember this: there are no bad dragons in our family. Even if we're to be demonic dragons, we'll be good demonic dragons!"

Xuan Yi recalled the other person's words in his dream, looked up, and met Shen Shu'an's gaze again.

...Not bad, at least, I know she should be safe during her trip to the secret realm.

"Oh, An'er, that's a long story."

"This night is bleak. He's the ruthless bandit who steals from everyone. The reputation of our dragon race..."

Uncle Wu sat down on the stone bench, recounting the past with a heavy heart, a story of vicissitudes.

Long Yunmei and Long Yan nodded silently. Of all the dragons that have grown up on Dragon Island over the past thousand years, which one hasn't been snatched away by Ye Anran?

Moreover, that guy was often involved in fighting and killing, but before that incident, he couldn't really be considered an evil dragon.

But after that... everything changed.

The dragon race has never committed such an atrocity before, slaughtering an entire clan in one night.

Shen Shuan's gaze swept across Wu Bo, Long Yan, and Long Yunmei's faces in turn.

To my surprise, I saw the same sadness in three very different pairs of eyes.

[Ding, host, triggering the third step of the chain quest: Find the truth behind the "Ye Anran's One-Night Massacre of the Xuan Bird Clan" incident.]

[Task Rewards: Friendship with the Xuan Bird Clan, one Yuan Yuan Talent Advancement Pill, and Heavenly Dao's attention.]

[Punishment for mission failure: None.]

Shen Shuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she barely managed to suppress her surprise and confusion.

But, Duck, are you mistaken? I haven't even had my match yet.

Why are quests ② and ③ already appearing in this secret realm? ┭┮﹏┭┮? ? ?

-

At the same time, in the forging hall.

Wang Tieniu was sweating profusely from the scorching heat of the heavens as he struggled to burn the dragon scales he had caught.

While he was working, he glanced to the side with his big eyes.

"No, Wanqiu, Master will make this magic armor well, so don't worry."

"Weren't they the opponents we were preparing for a friendly match just a few days ago?"

"Good evening, Wanqiu, you go ahead and practice your skills. You can leave everything here to your master!"

As Wang Tieniu finished speaking, Wang Jinmai, who was helping out, also laughed heartily and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Yes, junior sister, please leave this to Master and senior sister. Don't worry!"

However, as soon as the father and daughter finished speaking, Shen Wanqiu silently shook her head while circulating the Heavenly Fire in her hand.

No, it would be fine if it were something entrusted to me by someone else, but these dragon scales are for my sister to make into magic armor.

Does she not know the virtues of her master and senior sister?

Whenever Master and Senior Sister come across good materials, they always secretly slip some into their pockets, using their profound weapon-refining skills to account for normal losses.

But she knew perfectly well that her master and senior sister's weapon-refining process actually consumed almost nothing!

Shen Wanqiu remained silent, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed.

She's in a tough spot, torn between her younger sister and her master/senior sister.

"It's alright. I'm fully prepared for battle against Cai Wanli and Hu Xiaotian."

"Jiao Rulian, who will be fighting An'er, has a pair of menacing swords that I'm really worried about."

Shen Wanqiu said worriedly, "It would be best to finish making this French football as soon as possible. I am An'er's elder sister, and I should do my part!"

As Shen Wanqiu spoke, she unleashed her magic power fiercely towards the Heavenly Fire in her hand, causing the Heavenly Fire to blaze even higher and the surrounding temperature to rise several degrees.

However, Wang Tieniu and Wang Jinmai exchanged a glance, both looking on with longing, "This won't do."

Shen Xiaoyou said he would secretly make a set of French football armor for Wanqiu as a gift, without telling his disciple/junior sister.

Wang Jinmai blinked: "Dad, what should we do?"

Wang Tieniu pouted: "What can we do? Your senior sister's on our guard!"

Wang Jinmai blinked: "So, we'll do it secretly at night?"

Wang Tieniu's eyes lit up, and he secretly gave a thumbs up: "Great idea, Dad thinks it's a good one!"

Wang Jinmai laughed and then turned to Shen Wanqiu to talk about other things.

"Late Autumn, you know the Holy Son of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, don't you?"

"Yes, I know her. Senior sister, what's wrong?" Shen Wanqiu looked up.

"Didn't the Holy Son of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion say he would face off against the Goddess of Lingyin Valley in that friendly match?"

"But I heard that the night the match list was released, that goddess started having a toothache, and now her face is all swollen up. Isn't that incredible?"

"Could it be that holy son? He's dressed all in black and doesn't look like a good person!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqiu paused slightly, suddenly recalling the "Complete Collection of Forbidden Spells" she had seen in Qiao Pingsheng's arms that day.

But soon, Shen Wanqiu shook her head violently. "No way, can you curse a toothache?"

Besides, Fellow Daoist Qiao shouldn't be that kind of person... right?

Shen Wanqiu was suspicious and swallowed hard.
