Ji Dong's words of longing for the Flaming Bar had spoken his mind, but they were heard by Chen Sixuan as well. Everyone thought that Chen Sixuan would go berserk in the next moment, including Ji Dong.
However, Chen Sixuan used Ji Dong's hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said two simple words to him — squat down.
Ji Dong did not go against Chen Sixuan's wishes and slowly squatted down in front of her.
As Ji Dong squatted down, Chen Sixuan used her left hand to hold onto Ji Dong's right hand, which had wiped away her tears, and her right hand to hold onto Ji Dong's left hand. When he squatted down in front of her, Chen Sixuan pulled Ji Dong's arms around her waist and naturally moved closer to him. She hugged his head gently and let his face stick to her smooth abdomen.
All the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples who were waiting to watch the intense scene couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment, especially Yao Qianshu, Fury, Du Ming, and the other men. Their jaws almost fell off.
How could this work? Expressing his deep love for another woman could also get a hug from his current girlfriend. How did this trick work? In the eyes of everyone, Chen Sixuan was already Ji Dong's actual girlfriend.
Even Ji Dong was stunned and allowed Chen Sixuan to hug him like this. Her abdomen was smooth and soft, and the warm feeling and faint fragrance from it made Ji Dong a little dazed. However, Chen Sixuan's voice rang in his ears.
"Ji Dong, I know that you love the Flaming Bar deeply. I've also accompanied you to pay respects to her twice. I completely understand the pain in your heart. Cry if you want to. Don't worry about me. Why would I blame you for such a thing? I know that you belong to the Flaming Bar and everything about you belongs to the Flaming Bar. I've never thought of snatching you away from her, and I can't. I love you very much, just like how you love her. If your feelings for her change because of me, perhaps I won't love you as much as I do now. I don't have any extravagant hopes, and you don't have to feel any psychological pressure because of me. She's gone, and I just want to take care of you on her behalf. If it's possible, please treat me as her replacement, okay? "
A light breeze blew, and the lush plants in the surroundings rustled. The faint fragrance of plants surrounded the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples. At this moment, there was only the rustling of the plants at the entrance of the cave.
Apart from Ji Dong, who was being hugged by Chen Sixuan, the way the other Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples, including Yun Tianji, looked at Chen Sixuan changed.
A girl loved a man so much that she was willing to be a replacement. Was there any need to say anything else? Even Lan Baoer, who had always been reluctant to get close to Chen Sixuan because of Ji Dong, now looked at her with respect. She knew that what Chen Sixuan had done was something that she could never do. Chen Sixuan had really given up everything for Ji Dong, just like how Ji Dong loved the Flaming Bar at all costs. Lan Baoer now understood why she did not get any response when Hyōhime expressed her love for the Flaming Bar. Although Chen Sixuan could not affect Ji Dong's love for the Flaming Bar, she was much closer to him than Lan Baoer. It was because Lan Baoer was not as desperate as Chen Sixuan!
If there was anyone present who understood why Chen Sixuan would do this, it would probably be Ah Jin. Only she knew Chen Sixuan's true identity, and she had always kept this secret, even if she didn't tell her father. These days, she had recovered her memories, and when her father awakened the Dragon Clan's bloodline, she had also gradually merged everything she had experienced after her resurrection with her previous memories. She had long since confirmed her feelings for Ji Dong. Just as Chen Sixuan had said, it was precisely because of Ji Dong's deep love for Raging Flames that she fell in love with him. In Ah Jin's heart, Ji Dong's weight was even heavier than her father's. No matter what, her father was a man of universal love. He had so many women, but Ji Dong had only had one Raging Flame from beginning to end. She had long since set the right position in her heart. Even if it wasn't for the fact that Raging Flame had saved her life, she would never do anything to destroy them. They had already suffered too much. Ah Jin only hoped that they would be able to get married soon, and she would only secretly bless them.
Turning around, Ajin was the first to walk towards the Cave Worm. Fury had also woken up. He waved at the crowd and led the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples back into the cave, leaving Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan alone here for a while longer.
Releasing his hand from Chen Sixuan's waist, Ji Dong grabbed her hands and slowly stood up. He stared at Chen Sixuan's teary eyes and said, "Sixuan, I didn't expect you to know me so well. But the more you know, the more I don't want you to suffer. Ever since I met you, I remember everything you've done for me deeply. But no matter what, I still can't accept your feelings. How can you become a substitute? That's too unfair to you."
"I'm willing to be a substitute!" Chen Sixuan threw herself into Ji Dong's arms without a care for anything else.
Just now, when she saw Ji Dong's painful expression in front of Fury and listened to his affectionate confession, she only felt that her heart was about to break. She even regretted that she didn't have a better relationship with him when they were still in the Flaming Bar. But it was too late to say anything now. She was already Chen Sixuan, not the Flaming Bar. Looking at Ji Dong's painful expression, her heart really hurt. Now, she didn't want to force him at all. She just hoped that he could be a little happier. Even if she couldn't be with him in the end, as long as he could be happy, she would be satisfied.
Being hugged by Chen Sixuan, Ji Dong didn't struggle. He really couldn't bear to do it. Even if he had a heart of stone, he would still be melted by Chen Sixuan's feelings. However, just like what he said to Fury previously, he would never betray the Flaming Bar. No matter how good Chen Sixuan was, she was still Chen Sixuan, not his Flaming Bar.
Just like that, Ji Dong let Chen Sixuan hug him. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes again as he missed his Flaming Bar.
Three days later, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples finished resting. Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan seemed to have calmed down. Finally, it was time for them to leave the Dragon Valley. There was another important reason why they chose to leave on this day, and that was because Maotai and Wuliangye had woken up from their slumber and returned to Ji Dong's side.
With the help of the blood of the Earth Dragon's ancestor, the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's body length had already exceeded 20 meters. Putting aside the improvement in their mana, the terrifying increase in their physical strength had already greatly increased their combat power.
Ji Dong went to see the Dragon Emperor and the Earth Dragon's ancestor. Ah Jin even stayed with the Earth Dragon's ancestor for the entire night. It was unclear what the father and daughter talked about, but when Ah Jin returned the next day, his eyes were a little red and swollen.
Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan stood on the dragon heads of Maotai and Wuliangye respectively. The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon was the first to fly up from the bottom of the Dragon Valley, followed by Fury's Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon, Ah Jin, and the rest of the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples.
Even Tianji had his own magical beast partner, which was extremely rare in the Tianji lineage. The one who chose Tianji was a 10th-tier Diamond Dragon, and it was also the only 10th-tier magical beast among the group. Moreover, this was not arranged by the Dragon Emperor, but the result of them getting to know each other over the past few days. Only Tianji himself knew what had happened.
11 people and 10 powerful magical beasts soared into the sky at the same time. Even in the Dragon Valley, this was considered a majestic sight. When everyone finally flew above the Dragon Valley under the support of their mounts, the giant dragons in the Dragon Valley appeared one after another, and the majestic scene of thousands of dragons dancing together appeared in front of them again.
Deafening dragon roars intertwined in the sky and resounded throughout the entire Three Harmony Mountain Range. The Dragon Emperor hovered above the Dragon Valley with the four Dragon Kings, facing Ji Dong and the rest.
"Dragon Emperor, we have to go. I don't know when we'll meet again." Ji Dong no longer addressed the Dragon Emperor as senior.
The Dragon Emperor was currently in his human form. He looked at Ji Dong and waved his hand, saying, "If that's the case, then hurry up and leave. Don't be so long-winded."
"Yes." Ji Dong nodded and said, "Dragon Emperor, although you're the father of Maotai, Wuliangye, and Si Dong, I don't see you as a senior in my heart."
"Hmm?" The Dragon Emperor looked at Ji Dong in confusion.
Ji Dong smiled and said, "I see you as a friend. Alright, goodbye, my friend. Let's go."
The Saint Evolution Fire Dragon looked at his parents reluctantly, then suddenly sped up and flew into the distance like a bolt of lightning. Ji Dong's voice could be heard from afar, "Dragon Emperor, I can't remember how many times you've tortured me, but I'll definitely spar with you again after I've broken through to the ninth crown."
The Dragon Emperor's dimmed eyes lit up as a smile appeared on his face, "Brat, I'll be waiting for you."
Although the Heavenly Stem Saints flew into the distance with the help of their mounts, their eyes were still fixed in the direction of the Dragon Valley. They had stayed here for almost a year and were deeply attached to everything in the Dragon Valley. Here, all of them had mounts as companions. They had gotten to know many dragons here and had become friends with the dragon race. Now that they really had to leave, everyone's hearts were filled with reluctance.
Everyone only retracted their gazes when the Dragon Valley could no longer be seen, but they were still in low spirits.
At this moment, a layer of golden-red light shone from Ji Dong's body and attracted the attention of the Heavenly Stem Saints. Rays of golden-red light accurately landed on the foreheads of the Heavenly Stem Saints. In an instant, their perception increased exponentially and everything around them seemed to become transparent. This long-lost feeling made everyone's hearts tremble.
A large amount of information was transmitted into their minds through the golden light. The direction of the wind blowing in the sky, the strength of the wind, the concentration of the various elements in the air, and the real-time changes were all presented in great detail. Everything within a three thousand meter radius was also presented. What shocked them the most was that Ji Dong's immense Soul Energy, which was as vast as the sea, seemed to have engulfed every single one of them.
"It's been almost a year since we left the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce. During this year, each of us has put in a lot of effort, and each of us has made great progress. Let's tell each other what level our cultivation has reached!" Ji Dong's deep voice rang out in the ears of all of the Heavenly Stem Holy Worshippers as if it had some kind of magical power. Initially, everyone had been a little disappointed by the fact that they had to leave the Dragon Valley, but as his voice gradually became more and more impassioned, they became more and more excited.
"I, Ji Dong, am a Heavenly Stem Double Fire Saint. My mana is at level-82. My mount is a Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon, rank-9."
Ji Dong almost shouted out his level. Being in the sky, they did not need to hold back at all. His shout seemed to be shouting out all the unhappiness and depression in his heart.
According to their strength and status, Ajin or Fury should be the next to speak. However, neither of them said anything. Instead, they turned their gazes to Chen Sixuan. This was out of respect for Chen Sixuan. Three days ago, Chen Sixuan hugged Ji Dong and said those words, which had won everyone over. In everyone's hearts, she was already on the same side as Ji Dong.
Chen Sixuan didn't decline. She smiled and nodded to her companions. "Chen Sixuan, Heavenly Stem Yimu Holy Disciple. Magic power. Magic power. Magic power. Level 79. Magical beast companion.
At this time, Si Dong was in Chen Sixuan's arms. It gently wriggled a bit. Only Ji Dong knew how strong this so-called Si Dong was. When he faced Lin Qing and Lin Yilei, if it wasn't for Si Dong, he would have been killed. Moreover, Si Dong usually did not say anything, but in fact, it could talk. At this time, when Chen Sixuan mentioned it, it gently wriggled in Chen Sixuan's arms to show its existence. Chen Sixuan gently stroked it, and the smile on her pretty face became wider.
After Chen Sixuan announced her level, Ajin and Fury looked at each other. Ajin made a gesture of invitation. Fury nodded and said, "Fury, Heavenly Stem Thunder Saint. Mana, level 85. Mount, Purple Thunder Sky Dragon."
"Ajin, Heavenly Stem Xin Jin Saint. Mana, level 89. Mount, none."
"Yao Qianshu, Heavenly Stem First Wood Saint. Mana, level 81. Mount, Azure Dragon, rank 9."
"Lang Tian Yi, Heavenly Stem Fifth Earth Saint. Mana, level 81. Mount, Diamond Dragon, rank 9."
"Miao Miao, Heavenly Stem Sixth Earth Saint. Mana, level 81. Mount, Silver Winged Sea Green, rank 9."
