"Ga...!"
Han Ze's high - pitched laughter echoed in the air, but soon, he made a sound like a duck with its throat blocked.
Due to his emotional outburst, Yan Long punched Han Ze in the face.
"Stop talking nonsense! With us Dragon Gods around, how could Shen Qing die?"
To vent his anger, Qing Long also kicked Han Ze twice on the leg. "Exactly. Do you think we're just vegetarians?"
Bai Long walked up to Shen Qing, placed his hand on her forehead to check her condition.
Shen Qing dodged Bai Long's gaze guiltily, but when she saw Li Xian, she looked at Bai Long pleadingly, hoping he wouldn't tell the truth about her condition.
Shen Qing knew her own physical condition. When sealing the Demon God, she used Luo Ling's ability, all her cultivation, and the dragon bone on her body. Only with the help of the spirits of the dragon clan's ancestors was she able to successfully seal the Demon God.
Without the dragon bone and spiritual root, she was no different from an ordinary mortal...
Moreover, by forcibly dispersing her cultivation, her Dao foundation had been damaged, and it was likely that she could never cultivate again.
But Shen Qing didn't want Li Xian to know about this for now.
If her lifespan was reduced after becoming a mortal, she would eventually die. What would Li Xian do then?
Shen Qing didn't even dare to think about it.
If she were honest with herself, if Li Xian became a mortal and was destined to be separated from her, she wouldn't be able to accept it and would surely go crazy looking for a way to achieve immortality.
Bai Long sighed, with a hint of blame in his eyes.
"Senior Bai Long, how is Shen Qing's body?"
Li Xian saw Bai Long's strange look, and his voice trembled.
If he heard any bad news, Li Xian really couldn't imagine what he would do.
His mind was in a mess, and he simply couldn't think.
"Sigh..."
"She... is really courting death..."
Bai Long shook his head and sighed continuously, with regret and pain on his face.
Hearing this, the veins on Li Xian's neck bulged, and his heart was pounding so fast that even Shen Qing, leaning on Li Xian's chest, felt flustered.
But there was a hint of relief hidden in Bai Long's eyes, and Shen Qing immediately knew that her situation might not be as bad as she thought.
Shen Qing looked at Bai Long helplessly and interrupted his pretense. "Senior Bai Long, stop scaring him. It's not that serious."
As soon as Shen Qing saw Bai Long's reaction, she knew she must be okay.
If there really was something wrong, Bai Long would have already found a way to deal with it.
Bai Long looked at her as if to say "see if you dare do it again" and laughed. "Shen Qing, just soak in Tianchuan and you'll be fine."
Li Xian was stunned. "Just... that's all?"
"That... will be enough?"
Bai Long said unhappily, "What, are you disappointed, boy?"
"No no no! I'm happy!"
Li Xian finally felt relieved. He believed what Bai Long said.
Jin Long walked up to Bai Long, glanced at him, then with a hint of doubt in his eyes, he also placed his hand on Shen Qing's forehead to check.
Finally, he was surprised to find that it was indeed as Bai Long said.
"Strange. Didn't Shen Qing extract her dragon bone? Why does she still have it?"
"I don't know..."
Bai Long tilted his head slightly and looked up at the sky filled with colorful rays of light.
Perhaps... it was the blessing of the Heavenly Dao...
Shen Qing's dragon bone had not been completely extracted. As long as she soaked in Tianchuan, the dragon bone would gradually recover.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Qing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, who could be certain about the mysterious things?
Now there was only the mop - up work left on the battlefield. Seeing Han Ze defeated, the remaining demons fled in all directions.
The souls of the remaining people in the main shrine were extracted by Bai Long and put into the Soul - Locking Tower to be taken back to the upper realm.
Zhan Long was seriously injured and transformed into a tiny dragon, held in Jin Long's arms.
When Li Xian helped Shen Qing appear, the cultivators on the scene all showed grateful expressions and bowed their fists to Shen Qing.
If it weren't for Shen Qing summoning the spirits of the dragon clan, the Demon God would have descended into the world, and no one would have escaped.
Although they had experienced many things, the turmoil had finally subsided. The living could continue to live with the hopes of the dead.
"Shen Qing! Are you okay?"
"Shen Qing, wuwuwu, you scared me to death!"
As soon as Xian Shiyu and Hong Chaoyang saw Shen Qing, they rushed over and threw themselves into her arms. The two of them were like little balls nuzzling in her arms.
But the weak Shen Qing couldn't bear their enthusiasm. She staggered and had no strength in her feet. She almost was knocked down by the two of them.
Li Xian gritted his teeth and supported her from behind. He endured and endured before he didn't throw Xian Shiyu and Hong Chaoyang away.
"Shen Qing!! I finally saw you. You were so cool when you were fighting the Demon God in the sky just now. I was so excited that I even wanted to join the Qingyun Sword Sect and become a sword cultivator!"
Jiang Zhiyun was holding a large bunch of herbs in her arms. Her voice could be heard before she was seen.
Qing Qing followed behind Jiang Zhiyun, carefully protecting her and picking up the herbs that fell from her arms along the way.
Chu Lanqiu was injured and lying on the spirit tiger. She was originally full of worry, but when she saw Shen Qing's complexion was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, she almost thought Shen Qing wouldn't survive.
Shen Qing felt the care and warmth from her friends. The joy of surviving the disaster mixed with emotion made her eyes fill with tears.
"Everyone! You've all worked hard..."
"It's so good to be alive!"
This was a sincere remark from Shen Qing. There was nothing more delightful than finding that the people she cared about were still alive after going through so much.
"Good job, little disciple!"
Ling Zhou also walked over with Yao Yue. He put the jade pendant back into Shen Qing's hand and laughed. "Returning it to its original owner."
Shen Qing looked at Bai Long. Seeing Bai Long nod, she put the jade pendant away.
This was the last thing left by the dragon clan, but in the future, she had to find a proper way to deal with it.
Shen Qing looked at Ling Zhou and Yao Yue's clasped hands playfully and deliberately asked, "Master, when can I call Elder Yao Yue 'Master - mother'? I'm tired of calling her 'Uncle'."
Hearing Shen Qing's teasing, Ling Zhou and Yao Yue glanced at each other and both blushed deeply.
Hong Chaoyang came over, spreading out his hands in front of Ling Zhou. "Uncle Ling Zhou, Uncle Yao Yue watched me grow up. If you want to marry her, you have to bribe me well. I'll put in a good word for you in front of Uncle."
Red Butterfly True Person rushed over and pulled Hong Chaoyang aside. "Stop teasing your uncle. Later, our mother - son duo will have to go and ask for a cup of wedding wine."
"Hahaha, exactly. Later, we'll all go and ask for a cup of wedding wine."
"Congratulations. It seems there will be another great happy event in the Qingyun Sword Sect!"
Everyone congratulated Ling Zhou and Yao Yue one after another.
Shen Qing and Li Xian glanced at each other, and their hands slowly clasped together.
Fingers intertwined, they would be united in heart forever, never leaving nor forsaking each other.
The laughter of the crowd echoed in the sky. Real Person Heng Ling was supported by Pei Xuanjing and walked over, looking at the happy scene in front of him.
His heart ached. The pain came in waves, only because he had just heard Shen Qing call Ling Zhou "Master".
