"If we can't defend against it, why should we defend against it?" The purple-haired girl asked.
"If we don't defend against it, this enchantment would have broken long ago." The old woman said with a smile. When she smiled, the wrinkles on her face that were like old tree bark stretched out, giving people a kind and benevolent feeling.
"Why don't you let more people defend?" The purple-haired girl said, "You should inform the nine countries of the divine continent and let them send the most powerful cultivators of the Human Race to defend … In that case, this enchantment can be defended. The Demon Race will do their best, and we humans will also do our best. "
"If we do as you say, I will inform the masters of the nine countries of the divine continent, and they will all come, and the enchantment will be defended … But, what happens after that?"
"After that? Isn't it fine if it's defended? Why do we need after that? "
The old woman had a smile on her face, and there was wisdom in her turbid pupils that could see through the world.
She looked at the purple-haired girl lovingly and said, "If we can't defend it, perhaps it will be better. At that time, the Human Race will unite against a common enemy, and everyone will do their best … Because they know that if they don't work hard, I'm afraid that the entire divine continent will be invaded by those demons, and all the Human Race will become food for those demons."
"But the current situation is that the enchantment has not been breached by those demons, and it doesn't seem to be breached for the time being. No one even knows when it will be breached … Whether it's the imperial family of the nine countries or the powerhouses of the Human Race, they each have their own interests, their own lives, and they don't have enough time to fight for power and profit, and flatter each other. Who would be willing to spend their best years at the bottom of Nu River like you and me?"
"But, this concerns the survival of the Human Race …"
"Everyone understands the general principle. The imperial family of the nine countries don't understand? The powerhouses of the human race don't understand? " The old woman shook her head gently and sighed. "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Dragon Race had just helped the Human Race defeat the Abyss and banished them into Nu River again, and then the Human Race and Dragon Race worked together to seal it … At that time, the battle had just stopped, and the Human Race cultivators suffered heavy casualties."
"At that time, the Human Race was hurt and scared. Therefore, in the following years, the human race had a pact between the nine nations. Every year, the nine nations would send experts to guard the Yin Yang Gate … In the beginning, the nine nations would take turns to guard it. Each nation would guard it for a year, and then there would be a cycle of nine years. "
"A few hundred years, or maybe a few thousand years later, the Nine Nations' Royal Clans discovered that the Yin Yang Gate had been guarded for years and years, but it was as stable as a rock. There were almost no signs of it being breached … As the war continued, new Nine Nations or even more Nine Nations' Royal Clans appeared, and the Nine Nations' Convention gradually lost its binding force. Occasionally, human experts would come to take a look, but they would quickly return to their respective territories … "
"At the bottom of Nu River, there's no daylight all year round. The environment isn't good either. There's no fame, no benefits … Who would be willing to stay here all year round?"
Lu Qiji looked at the old woman, asking in a low voice: "How can you do it?"
"Why can I do it …" The old woman chuckled, but her eyes fell into a state of deep thought. "When I first came in, I asked myself the same question. I kept asking myself … How long can you last? Will you run away at the last minute? But, I don't know how many years have passed since I came in — — I've most likely forgotten the time outside — — "
"Now, I've forgotten what the answer I got was. I just thought, since I've been here for so many years, then I should hold on a little longer — — hold on a little longer. "
The old woman looked sideways at the purple-haired girl, saying aloud: "At my age, I can still guard here — — but you're young, and you look like a flower — — it's the best age for a woman, what are you doing here?"
The purple-haired girl pondered for a moment, before she said in a cold voice: "The mortal world is too irritable, people's hearts are too complicated, I might as well hide here for a while. It would be great if I could be of some help. "
"But, after all, you have the temperament of a young man. I've seen you fall into a state of contemplation several times when you were meditating, what are you thinking about?"
"— —"
"Thinking about your little lover?"
The purple-haired girl shot a fierce glare at the old woman. "I don't have a lover."
"Hahaha — — little girl, you don't mean it."
The ice on the purple-haired girl's face gradually melted. "A person like me — — would not fall in love with someone, right?"
"How could that be?" The old woman lovingly stroked the purple-haired girl's head and softly said: "Although you're the mother of all races — — but, you're still independent in this life. You're at the best age for a girl. Which girl doesn't yearn for love? Which boy isn't passionate? You have a human heart, a human nature. If you like an outstanding young man, there will be countless beautiful young men who like you — — isn't this a matter of course? "
"But — —" The purple-haired girl sighed softly, as if there was something troubling her that made it difficult for her to make a decision.
"What's wrong?" The old woman asked with concern. "Although I've been at the bottom of Nujiang for many years, I've lived for so long, after all, I've seen many people and encountered many things — — if there's anything you can't solve, you can tell me. Perhaps, I can give you some advice."
"He's a dragon." The purple-haired girl said.
"What?" The old woman's expression was slightly shocked. She asked aloud: "What did you say? He's a dragon? There are still dragons in the divine continent? "
"Yes." The purple-haired girl nodded seriously and said with a firm face: "He's a dragon. The genuine Dragon Race … "
"… …"
"You can't solve it either." The purple-haired girl said aloud again. Under the divine continent, no one could solve this problem.
"Heaven's will is playing tricks on people." The old woman pondered for a long time, obviously shocked by this news. "It really is heaven's will playing tricks on people. If there are dragons in the divine continent, then the dragon clan will know the truth behind the dragon slaying war — — they will definitely seek revenge. "
"He knows." The purple-haired girl said in a deep voice: "Because he is the Dragon King who luckily survived that dragon slaying war — — No, it should be said that he left a tear in the body of a young man of the human clan."
"So, you like that young man?" The old woman's eyes lit up as she asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know." The purple-haired girl thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "I don't know what it feels like to like — — the Phoenix clan has never liked anyone."
"Liking is …" The old woman thought seriously and said: "No matter what he says, you are willing to listen carefully. No matter what he does, you will laugh knowingly. "
"… …"
"If you like that young man of the dragon clan, and that young man of the dragon clan also likes you, perhaps it's also a blessing for the divine continent …"
"I lied to him." The purple-haired girl said with a pained expression. "This is also the reason why I don't want to go out and would rather hide here to guard the Yin Yang World …"
