"By the way, how are you guys going to get out?" Shen Qing asked casually. She had thought these four had already made a plan, but the scene fell silent again.
Flame Dragon: "Can we leave this place?"
Azure Dragon: "I have no idea!"
Golden Dragon: "White Dragon, say something!"
White Dragon: "I think we can..."
Shen Qing: ...
...
Yu Xuzi and Li Xian were surrounding Shen Qing, trying to wake her up. Li Xian's eyes were full of unpredictable emotions, and his face was gloomy, which even made Yu Xuzi feel creepy.
Seeing his disciple so impatient, Yu Xuzi comforted him, "Shen Qing is on her own territory. Are you still afraid that something will happen to her?"
Li Xian bit his back teeth impatiently. Although he stopped pacing around, he sat down cross - legged rather roughly. "Master, disciple doesn't mean to distrust you, but Shen Qing still hasn't woken up. I won't be at ease until she wakes up."
Yu Xuzi nodded understandingly. "Young couples should be like this."
It was just a joking remark, but it only added to Li Xian's melancholy.
Ever since Li Xian saw Shen Qing's miserable death in her previous life in his coma and the scene where Shen Qing was injured right in front of him while he was helpless, he had always felt insecure.
He shouldn't have been like this. He always thought he was cold - hearted and more suitable for cultivating the path of heartlessness.
But this thought came to an abrupt end when he met Shen Qing.
He was inexplicably attracted to Shen Qing. Although Yu Xuzi said that feelings couldn't be explained clearly, he was once afraid of such emotions.
He was used to being alone. Suddenly, there was someone to accompany him. After tasting the sweetness of love, how could he be willing to go back to the way he was before?
So, he was so afraid that something would happen to Shen Qing.
It was precisely because he cared so much that he was so cautious.
"Um...?"
Li Xian was in a chaotic state of mind when he heard a soft groan.
He looked down and found that Shen Qing's eyes had regained their luster. She was sitting up slowly, touching her head. The wound on her neck split open again, which made Li Xian's eyes darken.
Seeing Shen Qing looking confused, Li Xian quickly reached out and helped her up.
At the same time, the four dragons suddenly appeared beside Shen Qing.
Before Li Xian could be happy, he was on guard and ready to defend.
The four dragons and two people stared at each other.
Finally, Shen Qing stood up, introduced them to each other, and explained the intentions of the four dragons, so that everyone got to know each other.
Yu Xuzi pulled Li Xian to salute the four dragons, but White Dragon quickly helped Yu Xuzi and Li Xian up.
White Dragon said, "You are Shen Qing's master and also our savior. It's actually us who should salute you."
Yu Xuzi quickly explained, "Anyway, you are the Dragon Gods, the gods from the upper realm. We are just small fries from the lower realm. How dare we claim to be your saviors?"
Before White Dragon could answer, Flame Dragon said, "Hey, don't be so polite. Back then, we were just guided by the Heavenly Dao to ascend to godhood. We were only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. In terms of cultivation and knowledge, we are not as good as you..."
"Flame Dragon! Shut up!!"
Azure Dragon rushed forward suddenly and covered Flame Dragon's mouth tightly.
They had already lost all their dignity being trapped here. This brainless Flame Dragon even revealed their details. Where could they put their faces?!
After all, they were the Dragon Gods!
Yu Xuzi's mouth twitched twice. He stopped being polite, straightened up, and openly observed the Dragon Gods whom he would never have had the chance to contact before.
Shen Qing saw Yu Xuzi's mouth twitch and turned her eyes away with satisfaction.
And Golden Dragon and White Dragon's toes hidden in their boots were curling up in embarrassment.
Li Xian supported Shen Qing. Seeing that Shen Qing's face was rosy and there was nothing wrong with her except the wound on her neck, his heart slowly settled down, but his hand still held Shen Qing tightly.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Shen Qing said, "Well, let's set off then. We're going to the Merman Palace."
"Okay."
Everyone responded and then slowly walked out of the temple.
Before leaving, the four dragons took a deep look at the stone statues representing themselves and then left reluctantly.
There was a depression in the chest of the stone statue. That was originally the place to place the dragon heart. Now it was empty, just like their lost cultivation.
Shen Qing left the temple first, planning to look for Wu Wang and Chen Xi. But as soon as she got out, she heard the sound of water and laughter.
"You kid, do you know that this is my territory in the water? You still want to race with me!!"
"You little merman have such a big mouth. I'm a dragon! The king of all beasts. How could I be afraid of you, a little merman! Come on!!"
The voices of Wu Wang and Chen Xi came, followed by a huge sound of water. Shen Qing and Li Xian looked at each other and walked towards the stream with a headache.
Before they went in, Shen Qing had placed the two swords on the grass.
Unexpectedly, they had now revealed their true forms and were playing in the stream.
The two were shuttling through the water, having a great time. The pleasant laughter made Shen Qing unconsciously feel as if she and Li Xian were parents, looking at two naughty children playing with water with a headache.
Wu Wang had sharp eyes. He immediately saw Shen Qing walking towards him and stopped wagging his tail.
"Shen Qing!"
Wu Wang leaped out of the water. His wet dragon head kept rubbing against Shen Qing's arms. "Shen Qing? You've been gone for so long. I thought you didn't want me anymore..."
Wu Wang kept acting coquettishly, but before he could finish, he felt his head being pushed away by a pair of hands.
Wu Wang gritted his teeth and looked up, only to meet Li Xian's gloomy eyes. He was so scared that he immediately let go of the claws holding Shen Qing.
Shen Qing tapped Wu Wang's head. "You guys seem to be having a great time playing here."
At this time, Chen Xi finally noticed the appearance of Li Xian and Shen Qing. He leaped out of the water again. His shiny tail became even more dazzling after being soaked in water.
"Wu Wang, are you afraid of losing, so you ran to Shen Qing? I'm telling you, I won!"
Li Xian looked at Chen Xi in surprise. He bent down to observe Chen Xi's tail and asked, "The wound on your tail..."
At the Five - Element Dao Sect, Chen Xi's tail was scratched by a monster in order to cover their escape. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible and it just wouldn't heal, which even caused cracks on Chen Xi's sword body.
But now his tail was completely intact, as if he had never been injured.
Chen Xi wagged his tail proudly and said, "Wu Wang pushed me into this small stream. I was seriously injured at first, but as I soaked in it, I found that my wound was healed by the water in this stream."
Wu Wang raised his head and said, "This is the treasure of our Dragon Abyss. As long as a person who still has a breath left gets close to it, any wound will heal."
Only then did Shen Qing realize that since this water could cultivate spiritual plants, it could naturally heal wounds. How could she not have thought of soaking the two swords in the stream?
