Beneath the Wei River, a real dragon is hidden!

"He told me to remember his words, that he didn't want to kill me with his own hands."

"Is this a warning to remind me of my promise to be a servant, or has he already discovered something?"

Bai Hehuai crossed his arms, his heart filled with conflict.

Then, he shook his head in confusion.

"Forget it, he must have figured it out. I have no way out now."

She gave a desolate yet resolute smile.

It's a pity no one saw this scene, otherwise everyone would feel sorry for this beautiful girl.

The mountain breeze blew again, and Bai Hehuai snapped out of his daze, wrapped his cloak tighter around himself, and felt the warmth.

"He's not a bad person, but we're destined to be enemies."

She stroked the fur of the cloak and sighed.

He also rubbed his feet, which were sore from the cold.

She noticed that Ying Changqing looked at her feet several times, which puzzled her.

"My feet were red from the cold snow, but they weren't dirty."

After she finished speaking, she twitched her toes slightly.

Her feet were neither too big nor too small, slender, fair, and translucent.

Bai Hehuai thought these feet were very beautiful.

She frowned as she stared at her feet, which were painted with red nail polish.

By this time, the group had already ridden to the top of Longquan Mountain.

It started snowing again, but there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly.

The sunlight shone on the snow, making it sparkle like a fairy tale world.

Snowflakes fell on Bai Hehuai and Nangong Pushe's hair.

Ying Changqing reached out and caught a snowflake. Looking at the beautiful scenery, he said softly, "It must be that a celestial being is drunk and has carelessly crumpled up the white clouds."

Nangong Pushe looked at Ying Changqing with a peculiar gaze.

But she was already used to her prince always being able to utter beautiful verses that would be passed down through the ages, so she wasn't surprised.

Bai Hehuai was in Ying Changqing's arms, very surprised.

"Should it be like a celestial being, drunk and carelessly crumpling up white clouds?"

He read it aloud, savoring the imagery of the poem.

I reached out and caught a snowflake, wanting to say something that matched the sentiment.

But they gave up immediately.

Because no sentence he could come up with could compare to the two sentences Ying Changqing casually uttered.

Although these two lines are short, Bai Hehuai is certain they will be passed down through the ages.

This made Ying Changqing's image in her mind even more mysterious.

Intelligence from the Dark River organization says that Ying Changqing is a treacherous, cunning, and deceitful villain.

But Bai Hehuai felt that the real Ying Changqing was completely different from what the intelligence reports described.

Ying Changqing was exceptionally handsome, and there was not a trace of treachery or cunning about him.

He also showed compassion for others, taking off his cloak to keep Bai Hehuai warm.

He was so talented that even a few lines of poetry could be passed down through the ages.

This made Bai Hehuai look at him with great curiosity.

Ying Changqing was unaware of Bai Hehuai's thoughts.

He didn't admire the scenery and continued riding his horse.

The three quickly arrived at the highest point of Longquan Mountain—Longquan.

Before us lies a vast, clear spring.

This isn't a spring at all; it should be called a lake.

Ying Changqing had seen Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain in his previous life, but this Longquan was more than ten times larger than Tianchi Lake.

Despite its enormous size, the spring appears quite ordinary.

On this mountain peak where snow falls year-round, surrounded by extreme ice, this clear spring is the only exception, which is quite unusual.

Ying Changqing was very curious.

"You stay on horseback and don't move. I'll go down and take a look."

He leaned down and whispered instructions to Bai Hehuai.

Then he looked at Nangong Pushe.

"Nangong, come with me to investigate the secret of this spring and confirm whether it is related to the dragon race."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Bai Hehuai remained silent.

Her whole body stiffened, goosebumps rose, and the warmth of his voice still lingered on her earlobes.

A long time passed, until Ying Changqing and Nangong Pushe walked away.

"oh."

Bai Hehuai finally came to his senses and responded softly.

Ying Changqing and Nangong Pushe stood by the spring, carefully observing the clear water.

"Can you feel the dragon's aura?"

Ying Changqing secretly activated the True Dragon Treasure Technique to check if the legendary dragon pearl was truly in the spring.

Nangong Pushe turned to Prince Shanfeng, who possessed the bloodline of a dragon, and asked, "Let me sense it."

After speaking, Nangong Pushe closed his eyes tightly and carefully checked his blood vessels for any abnormalities.

After a moment, he shook his head and replied, "Sorry, I didn't notice anything unusual."

"This spring is just an ordinary clear spring."

Ying Changqing was not surprised.

Even using the True Dragon Treasure Technique, he could not discern anything special about this spring.

But he felt something was wrong.

The water was still; it should have frozen in the freezing cold, but there was absolutely no sign of it freezing.

This clear spring clearly defies common sense.

Ying Changqing was unwilling to return empty-handed.

He thought for a moment, then squatted down and put his hand into the cold spring water.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul Dragon Soaring technique was activated.

Three five-clawed golden dragons immediately appeared beside Ying Changqing.

After circling once, it plunged into the depths of Longquan, creating a huge splash.

Ying Changqing closed his eyes and used the three five-clawed golden dragons to probe the situation in the water.

As soon as the five-clawed golden dragon ventured deeper, Ying Changqing immediately noticed something amiss.

The water was incredibly clear, without any impurities, not even water plants or fish and shrimp; it was frighteningly clean.

When the five-clawed golden dragon descended to a depth of three or four hundred meters, Ying Changqing discovered that the spring water was like a bottomless pit.

The sunlight couldn't reach this deep place, and the book said the environment was complex, so it was pitch black all around.

However, Ying Changqing's Yin-Yang technique does not rely on light, but on internal energy perception, so he can still barely perceive the surrounding situation.

But he still couldn't find the bottom of the water.

He continued to descend, and when he reached a depth of nearly a thousand meters, his internal energy began to wane.

But he didn't give up and kept trying to dive deeper.

Finally, they dived to a depth of 1,500 meters.

Ying Changqing shuddered violently and immediately pulled his hand out of the spring water, his eyes filled with terror.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which spilled into the Longquan spring.

"Hurry up!"

Without hesitation, Ying Changqing immediately grabbed Nangong Pushe and ran.

"Your Highness, you are injured. What is in the water?"

When Nangong Pu saw Ying Changqing vomiting blood, his face turned very pale. He worriedly wiped the blood from the corner of Ying Changqing's mouth with a handkerchief.

Upon hearing his question, Ying Changqing's pupils constricted sharply.

He immediately recalled the horrific scene he had just witnessed.

When Ying Changqing controlled three five-clawed golden dragons to dive a thousand meters into Longquan, he saw something glowing in the black water.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be a bead, about the size of a fist, completely transparent, and emitting a pinkish light.

He recalled a legend that a real dragon had once died on Longquan Mountain.

The source of this spring is that precious dragon pearl.

Ying Changqing immediately understood that this was not a legend, but a fact!

Now that the Dragon Balls have been discovered, Ying Changqing will never let them go.

I was so excited that I couldn't control myself.

The dragon source of the divine dragon beneath Dragon Island can increase one's internal strength by hundreds of years and greatly extend one's lifespan, making one almost immortal.

Therefore, Ying Changqing controlled three five-clawed golden dragons to rush towards the dragon pearl.

But just as the five-clawed golden dragon was about to touch the dragon ball, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

In the darkness, two huge lights shone, like beacons.

Almost simultaneously, Ying Changqing was horrified to discover that it was not a beacon, but the eye of a dragon!

Immediately afterwards, a huge phantom of a dragon appeared, and Ying Changqing could only see its head.

The other party showed no hostility; their eyes were filled with curiosity when they saw Ying Changqing, and they even appeared quite friendly.

Ying Changqing glanced at her and immediately felt a splitting headache, his soul on the verge of collapse.

He immediately severed the True Dragon Treasure Technique and dragged Nangong Pu She away.

Nangong Pushe pressed for an answer, and the man explained as he ran, "A dragon, a white dragon!"
