Right Here Waiting

Chapter 15

After kicking Xufeng away, I didn't even have time to catch my breath when a dazzling starlight pierced into the Xiwu Palace. Dragon roars resounded, and the withered leaves of the Xiwu Palace fluttered down.

The Little White Dragon carried his sword, and his wide sleeves fluttered in the wind. He abandoned the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals and chased after me. I quietly glanced in the direction where Xufeng had retreated. The brick wall with dragons and phoenixes carved on it was high in the sky, leaving no trace behind.

"Da Long, you're here."

The Fox Fairy wiped the dirty blood off her face, feeling a little guilty. "Why did you mobilize so many people today? I was so scared that I almost showed my tail. It's not easy for the Three Celestial Generals to guard the Heavenly Gate. Don't trouble yourself."

The Little White Dragon was smart. With a sniff, he knew that the flaming Phoenix had been here. However, she was already far away, and it was useless to pursue the matter. Moreover, the situation in the courtyard didn't allow for any delay. He put away his sword and bowed to the Fox Fairy.

"Uncle, you were frightened. It was Run Yu's fault. Now, the Chiling God is seriously injured and needs treatment. I will go to the Residence of Marriage and Fate to apologize."

Then, she walked over, picked me up from the ground, and left with me in her arms.

"Sure, sure. You go ahead."

The Fox Fairy smiled and waved her hand. She sent us out of the palace gate with a smile and let out a sigh of relief.

I nestled in the Little White Dragon's arms and felt comforted. The dragon I chose was pleasing to the eye. He was much more gentle and elegant than the Phoenix.

Actually, I wasn't willing to talk to Xufeng just now. Other than feeling unwell, it was also because I was angry. Now that I was with the Little White Dragon, I was surrounded by cool water vapor. My body and mind felt comfortable.

"You knew that it was the fox who leaked the news and let Xufeng go, but you still want to apologize another day. This Celestial Ruler was wronged."

"Uncle, even if you are in the wrong, you shouldn't have lectured your nephew. He usually hangs out with Fairy Xian 'e, so he doesn't often see bloody things like swords, spears, swords, and halberds. It's inevitable that he would be frightened. It's indeed my fault."

"The smelly fox asked for it. What does it have to do with you? It's our duty to guard the peace of the Celestial realm. He's just a minor deity in charge of marriage. It's fine if he oversteps his boundaries, but he keeps siding with the Devil Realm. It's time to teach him a lesson!"

Just now, Fox Fairy's nose and eyes were filled with his precious Fengwa, as if Run Yu was not his nephew. It seemed that the long-haired and the long-scaled were separated by a layer. In the future, the Heavenly Palace should recruit more immortals who grew up in the water to accompany them.

The Little White Dragon watched me talk and laugh as if I wasn't seriously injured. However, his face was getting paler and paler, almost as pale as the flowers in the midnight sky.

He knew Xufeng's character well. Even if he kidnapped someone in a hurry, there was no reason for him to be so ruthless. However, when it came to Jin Mi, it was inevitable that he would lose his sense of propriety. Since ancient times, water and fire have always been incompatible. Injuries caused by the clash of the five elements were extremely troublesome.

"Bear with it for a while. I'll use the Teleportation Technique to bring you back to the Xuanji Palace."

"Okay."

I grabbed the front of his clothes and closed my eyes to bear with it. In just a breath's time, we were back to the spacious bed in the Xuanji Palace.

It was actually the Little White Dragon's bed.

"Why are we here?"

I leaned against the glass jade pillow and panted heavily. I smiled in what I thought was an evil way. "Last time, you didn't have the strength to stop me from sleeping in your bed. This time, you're more self-aware?"

"Chiling God, you must be joking. This bed is carved from a piece of thousand-year-old Dragon Soul Wood. It's suitable for you."

He pulled off the blanket and covered me properly. His slender fingers touched my wrist to check my pulse. "Just now, I saw you vomit blood in the clouds. Did Xufeng hurt you?"

"That's right.

When I recover, I'll definitely go to the Demon Realm to seek justice. "I pulled my wrist back." It's not a serious injury. There's no need to worry. "

I didn't want the Little White Dragon to know that I was weak. Since I promised to save Jin Mi, I only needed an outcome. As for the process, I didn't need anyone to know.

"There's something wrong with your complexion. Don't move!"

His starry eyes were filled with emotions. He pressed down on my hand that I was about to hide behind my back. His fingertips touched an inch of my body. However, the moment he touched it, his pupils shrank.

"How did you save Mi 'er?!"

"Of course I used my method."

I didn't know why he was angry. It wasn't his blood that was used.

"Your method was to use your blood to save her?"

He tightened his grip and left three green and white fingerprints on my wrist. "Her vital energy is damaged, and her spiritual soul is unstable. Xu Feng has the Cleansing Glass Flame, which is the ultimate Yang energy in the world. How could she withstand it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he helped me up. He circulated a gentle water element spiritual energy in his palm and slowly pushed it into my main acupuncture point on my back.

"Are you worried about me?"

I felt a cooling sensation on my back. The heat in my body gradually dissipated. His angry appearance was very interesting. "That day when you brought the picture book to kneel, I supported you. Just now in Xiwu Palace, I received a bow from Xufeng. Saving Jin Mi was a favor from the Demon Lord. You can relax."

"So in the High God's heart, Run Yu is such a despicable person."

I had my back to the Little White Dragon so I couldn't see his expression. I could only hear the deep helplessness in his voice.

"Mi 'er is indeed the love of my life. But if her resurrection requires the High God's blood, then Run Yu is willing to find another way!"

"What blood? It's not that dangerous." I grabbed his hand that was pushing the spiritual energy.

"Do you feel guilty?"

"Extremely guilty!"

"Then how about you repay me a little?"

"High God, please speak!"

"If you're weak, transferring spiritual energy is like raising a pot of boiling water. I've read in an ancient book that spiritual cultivation is very beneficial for restoring vitality. Little White Dragon, if you have the time, how about …?"

Clang!

The crisp sound of a copper basin falling to the ground came from behind the screen at the door. The Little White Dragon's eyes flashed. He grabbed the air with one hand and Wuqu Xingjun, who was about to escape, flew in with a howl. He fell to the ground like a pancake.

"Why is it you again?"

Could it be that this little leopard grew up eating guts every day?

"Your, Your Majesty!

Chiling, High God!

Little … Little Immortal didn't … Little Immortal really didn't mean to eavesdrop!

It was High Immortal Fufeng … "

"I was the one who got impatient and kicked him in!"

Clear laughter came from afar and an old friend's face came into view. "Chiling, I didn't think that after not seeing you for a thousand years, you'd actually do something like forcing a good girl into prostitution!"

"Damned bird, what nonsense are you talking about? I was clearly discussing with the Little White Dragon, where's the word 'forcing'!"

The veins on my forehead throbbed and the blood that I'd just suppressed began to boil again. The Little White Dragon was very close. He put a hand on my waist and sent me another stream of spiritual energy.

Fufeng, this bastard, had a big mouth and never lost to words. He wanted to argue with me but the Little White Dragon cut him off.

"High Immortal Fufeng, this time I've troubled you on your bumpy journey from the Northern Underworld. I've already prepared a banquet at the Hall of Purging Dust, please move.

Wuqu, why haven't you led the High Immortal there? "

Wuqu Xingjun received the Little White Dragon's icy glare and shivered. He hurriedly bowed to Fufeng. "High Immortal, please don't make things difficult for this Immortal!

Please move! "

Fufeng shrugged and shook his navy blue robe. He turned around and stepped out of the door.

"His Majesty the Celestial Ruler, I've been sightseeing all this time and don't feel tired at all. It's better if you give me a position as soon as possible!"

After being tormented by Fufeng, the energy I'd just mustered was completely exhausted. I no longer had the mood to tease the Little White Dragon. I closed my eyes and lazily asked, "The Kun Peng race has been in seclusion in the Northern Underworld for a long time. Why did you invite this unreliable ancestor out? Did you give him a position in the Celestial Empire?"

"Ever since the Yao bloodline took control of the bird race, the Kun Peng race collectively rebelled. The six realms' powers are chaotic. Apart from the Northern Underworld's Pure Land, there's no one else as reliable as Fufeng. He's your old acquaintance and also happens to owe my mother a favor. He's the most suitable person to protect you for a hundred years of peace."

"What?!"

If I let this half-bird half-fish half-half-fish half-god protect me, I'm afraid it won't be a hundred years of peace, but a hundred years later he'll be so angry that he'll die!

"How do you know that I'm his old acquaintance?"

"It's recorded in the unofficial history."

"Your unofficial history keeps pace with the times. I've only known him for three thousand years, how can it be recorded?"

"The unofficial history I read is carefully compiled and recorded every year."

Who are you trying to fool!

Since when did the Little White Dragon have the ability to lie with his eyes wide open!

"I don't need his protection. Besides, a hundred years is just a snap of the fingers. It's not that useful."

"Xufeng already knows that you want to take Mi 'er's life. He won't let this matter rest. Since he went to the Demon Realm, he's been doing things much more casually than before. You have to be careful."

"The Northern Underworld is a long journey. I just revealed Jin Mi's information yesterday. How did he arrive today?"

For the first time, I experienced the Little White Dragon's deep thoughts when he sat on the throne. "You've been preparing for this since the day you found out about my identity, haven't you?

You've already predicted that Fox Fairy would pass Jin Mi's information to Xufeng. "

I thought about it carefully. Although the three Heavenly Generals were wearing battle robes today, I didn't see any of them carrying weapons. Was it just a show for Fox Fairy and Xufeng?!

He wanted to use Jin Mi's life as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the Demon Lord.

"Jin Mi's resurrection is in sight. You don't want her to be the Empress anymore?"

The Little White Dragon's hand on my waist trembled. His voice was deep.

"You said that fate is determined by the heavens. Since there's no fate, it's better to use her and Xufeng's life together in exchange for the peace of the Six Realms."

I slowly curled my lips. The Little White Dragon saw through everything. I didn't need to remind him.
