The black-clothed girl was naturally the little Black Dragon.
As the Protector, she had a spiritual sense connection with Chen Changsheng that was difficult to sever. Thus, even though she had remained silent, Chen Changsheng could confirm that she was safe. But this connection had been cut off by the Wildfire of the Celestial Tree, making it impossible for Chen Changsheng to determine her exact location. But with Bie Yanghong's directions, finding her was extremely easy.
The Celestial Tree was so tall that even its hollow could hold a house, so the little Black Dragon's body was naturally even more delicate and delicate.
Chen Changsheng's gaze fell on her ankle. When he saw the chain, he couldn't help but recall the scene he had often seen at the bottom of New North Bridge, and his heart sank.
The little Black Dragon looked at him and asked, "Why did you come so late?"
Chen Changsheng was brimming with apologies, but he didn't know how to explain.
The little Black Dragon's gaze passed over his shoulder and fell on the White Crane, and her face instantly turned as cold as ice.
Chen Changsheng did not notice the change in her mood, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't understand the reason.
He walked up to Zhusha and squatted down, beginning to study the chain that imprisoned her.
A rain of swords came from the bottom of the tree.
In an extremely short amount of time, ten-some famed swords, the Stainless Sword included, had descended, but they were unable to sever the chain.
Unlike the chains at the bottom of New North Bridge, this chain was not shrouded in a divine aura to isolate attacks. Instead, it seemed to have fused with the entire cliff. There seemed to be some sort of array hidden within that could divert all attacks that landed on the chains to the cliff itself.
In other words, if he wanted to sever the chain, he needed to destroy the entire cliff.
Destroying this cliff was not something impossible for the current Chen Chang Sheng. The problem was that it could shake the foundation of the Celestial Tree. What would he do if the Wildfire spewed out of the ground? He could ride the White Crane to escape, but could he just watch as the little Black Dragon was swallowed up by the Wildfire?
Since he couldn't, he could only think of another way to break the array.
He thought of the name of this seal and wondered if there was some sort of explanation for it.
The little Black Dragon snapped, "The White Emperor clan has always been White Tigers, and this thing is used to imprison their own clansmen. Isn't it only right that it has this name?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Luo Luo is looking for the key. I'm just worried that it'll take too long … if the Tiger Paw is also an array, I want to write a letter to You Rong. She should be able to think of a way."
Back then, he had asked Xu You Rong for guidance on how to break the seal at the bottom of New North Bridge. Although it had been the Pope who had acted in the end, she truly was formidable in this aspect.
The frosty expression on the little Black Dragon's face completely vanished as she angrily yelled, "Riding another woman's crane to save me! You can even do something like that!"
Chen Chang Sheng was stunned and asked, "What is it?"
The little Black Dragon was even angrier, shouting, "You still want her to save me! She had to save me twice! What kind of brain do you have?! "
Chen Changsheng truly felt that his brain was not very good, because he had no idea why the little Black Dragon was so angry or what it meant.
He and the Black Dragon had lived in the snowy mountains of the northern border for three years, eating, walking, and living together. They were already extremely close, but there were many times when he still did not quite understand her intentions.
Ride another woman's crane? She had to save him twice? What kind of matter was this?
He subconsciously explained, "She's my fiancée, so there's no need to be polite."
The Black Dragon hatefully retorted, "You're my first man, so why have you been so polite to me all these years?"
… …
… …
The highest point of the Celestial Tree was already far above the clouds.
The sunlight shone upon the branches, creating a golden glow. It was a very beautiful sight.
A pair of pure white wings slowly folded. Xu You Rong stood on a branch, her wings lightly swaying in the wind.
She stretched out her hand and plucked a fire berry from the leaves, her bright eyes brimming with curiosity. She carefully took a bite, and after a long while, she nodded in satisfaction.
In the next moment, her expression subtly changed, no longer so satisfied.
It was not because the Qi of the Wildfire contained in this legendary fire berry was too thick, harming her, but because she had heard the conversation carried over by the wind from below.
"Riding my crane to see another woman is one thing, but it's two of them … Mo Yu really didn't lie to me back then. There really is a problem between you and them."
… …
… …
Chen Changsheng came to his senses and knew where the problem lay.
It had been a very long time since they had met at the bottom of New North Bridge. He had long ago known what had happened and what she had always been thinking.
At the time, he had braved the immense danger of Meditative Introspection and ignited the snowy plains formed from star radiance, almost burning them into nothingness.
At that crucial moment, the Black Dragon had cut open her forehead and used the true blood of the Frost Dragon to save him.
And it was the most precious and purest first blood.
According to the rules of the Dragon race, she had chosen Chen Changsheng to be her husband by doing this.
In the following years, especially those three years on the snowy plains of the northern frontier, she had always been thinking about this matter.
She was the one Chen Changsheng should be most grateful to for being able to live to this day, but even though he could have used his life without hesitation to save her, he found it impossible to accept this matter.
Because he already had an engagement, even if that engagement had been annulled midway.
Previously, he had simply not known how to face this situation, so he had subconsciously stopped himself from thinking in that direction.
In truth, this sort of conversation brimming with hatred and apology had taken place many times between him and the Black Dragon.
In the end, it still ended with his silence.
In the end, it was still the Black Dragon who broke this silence.
"You good-for-nothing thing, you don't dare to marry two? Including Luoluo, that's only three. You, the Pope, can't even raise them? Are you that afraid of Xu Yourong? "
She sneered at Chen Changsheng. "Let's not talk about this. Go do what you need to do, but be careful. Don't force Madam Mu into a corner, or else she really will dare to kill you."
Chen Changsheng worriedly asked, "Then what will you do?"
The Black Dragon proudly replied, "No one dares to kill a noble Black Frost Dragon on the shores of the Red River."
Chen Changsheng did not completely believe this. He knew that the Demi-human race truly did have to thank the Black Frost Dragon tribe for their assistance in establishing their country, but ungrateful people were common, and who could guarantee that Madam Mu would not go crazy? But there was truly no point in him staying here.
He thought it over, then said, "Sorry."
The Black Dragon helplessly said, "Chen Changsheng, I am your Protector. Do you really want to hear me say these three words?"
The White Crane flew off once more.
The Black Dragon gazed at the place where the crane had vanished and suddenly gave a soft sigh.
At this moment, there was no hint of arrogance on her face, no sneer of condescension, no ruthlessness. There was only a faint tinge of loneliness.
At this moment, she was just an ordinary black-clothed girl watching her lover depart into the distance.
A voice came from the Celestial Tree.
"Loneliness only needs one person, but loneliness needs two, because it is the yearning that comes after separation."
The little Black Dragon warily gazed over.
And then she saw Xu Yourong.
Xu Yourong calmly said to her, "The problem is that he is my man, so how can you be lonely because of him?"
