Chapter 1329 Extra 9: The Devil and the Dragon (End)
"Why are you here?"
"Didn't I tell you to come to me if you have any problems?"
"..."
Mingtong fell into silence. The moment she looked at Zhulong, she was in a trance for a moment, as if she saw something.
At that moment, Mingtong felt blessed.
So Lord Zhulong is the "existence" that she saw in her "prophecy", and that is closely connected to her?
but……
From what she saw, the other party's ending didn't seem very good.
No, not just bad.
Even……
Mingtong's heart sank, and she couldn't help but grab Zhulong's hand, with a ripple of Taoism in her eyes: "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Zhulong did not deny it.
He knew about his "destiny" much earlier than Mingtong. An old man had predicted it a long time ago, so he also knew what this "destiny" meant.
Zhulong was very disdainful, because in his opinion, this was a funny and ridiculous joke?
Would he sacrifice everything for someone who had nothing to do with him?
Zhulong’s reaction to this was: ignore it.
He decided to sleep soundly, waiting until his fate was over, and when his "destiny" fell in the war in Guixu, wouldn't it be fine if he woke up later?
This sleep...
I have slept through many changes in the world.
Slept through the fall and disappearance of the old ones.
Unexpectedly, Qian Kunyan would leave the star sea by accident and meet her at the crossroads of fate.
Qian Kun Yan and he are of the same origin. Strictly speaking, Qian Kun Yan can be considered a part of him, so he knows everything it has done to her, including willingly becoming the flame under her feet to support her on her way forward.
Later, Qian Kunyan brought her to his side...
He just looked at her quietly. He had to admit that she was very beautiful. Even if he was a dragon, he would be addicted to her eyes. Even the arc of her raised eyebrows seemed like a sparkling sea of stars.
In the end, it was not only her appearance that attracted him, but also everything about her.
He did fall for her little by little, step by step.
At that moment, he seemed to understand what it meant to be pulled by fate and to be bound by inescapable constraints.
Mingtong's heart sank, and her voice was bitter: "You...you clearly saw it, so why did you come?"
Zhulong gathered her into his arms, raised his eyebrows and looked at the boundless and deep void. The Guixu rift had shrunk somewhat because of the sacrifice of the seven holy demons, but it still had the potential to swallow the sky.
He only learned about the sacrifices of Chi You, Zu Long, Zu Feng and others after he woke up, but everything had already been settled and there was nothing he could do.
And now...
That's it.
Zhulong completely wrapped Mingtong with his phantom, preparing to send her out of the battlefield.
"Let's go."
Mingtong grabbed his wrist with her backhand, but because of the great force and his indestructible skin, her nails turned outward and blood was dripping.
She still held him tightly, her voice rising slightly and sounding a little anxious.
"Senior, you don't need to do this! I don't have any feelings for you..."
Yes.
In the "future" that Mingtong had just seen, this powerful being sacrificed himself to Guixu for her, just like Chiyou did back then, temporarily preventing the tragedy of the Heavenly Demon Realm...
She could pretend she knew nothing and accept everything.
But for some reason, when she met his calm and deep eyes, Mingtong knew that she had no way of deceiving him.
Zhulong smiled and asked, "Really?"
Mingtong: “…”
The Candle Dragon flicked its tail, its massive body roaring out from the abyss like a resurrected skyline, gradually closing the torn void. Its surging, heaven-defying, world-shaking power far exceeded Mingtong's imagination...
Qiankun.
yin and yang.
polarity.
reincarnation.
No wonder Zhulong's natal fire is called Qiankunyan...
"If there is no friendship, wouldn't that be just fine?"
Zhulong said softly, and his body filled the Guixu crack bit by bit. The tsunami-like dragon blood pushed all the chaotic and turbid air into the crack with an extremely domineering and fierce situation, blocking all possibilities of overflow.
He slowly turned sideways, turned his back to her and smiled back: "Since there is no friendship, you should be more calm and composed when taking advantage of it."
"I……"
"Your ancestor Chi You was not as indecisive as you."
Zhulong's eyes were always locked on her, so he naturally did not miss the momentary surprise and panic on her face. He couldn't help but chuckle, looking back and pouring all his strength into the Guixu crack.
When he heard the "prophecy" in the past, he scoffed at it. He was Zhulong, and his pride would not allow him to bow down or surrender to anyone...
And now...
He still hasn't.
He just made the same choice as the other old guys. Let him be like them, annihilated in the rolling torrent...
That's right, he sacrificed himself for the universe and all living beings.
Not for her.
……
Zhulong's consciousness floated in the chaos and nothingness until an extremely powerful force forcibly pulled him back, and something like algae and vines tightly wrapped around him.
He could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat...
Heartbeat?
Hasn't he already been sacrificed?
Zhulong opened his eyes and suddenly found himself becoming very, very small, a tiny ball nestled in a warm place.
He looked up in a daze, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with worry and joy.
"you're awake?!"
Whose eyes are these if not Mingtong?!
Zhulong looked at his little paws, then at Mingtong's face, and said in surprise for a while: "What's wrong with you and me?"
Mingtong smiled brightly, picked it up and held it together with her usual posture, saying, "At the moment of your body sacrifice, we have reached a life contract..."
Zhulong was completely confused: "Life contract?"
"Yes, I used my blood, the two heart-protecting scales you left behind, and Qiankun Yan to rebuild your body. Although your current strength is only a fraction of what it once was, are you willing to live and die with me?"
Zhulong stood there in a daze. Qiankunyan was actually a part of his original power, but it was not so easy to refine.
This might take ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even longer...
He carefully examined her appearance and found that compared to her former youth and immaturity, she seemed to have matured a lot, but her cultivation had collapsed and regressed from the Saint level...
In other words, she gave half of her life to herself who should have "fallen".
She didn't know whether she loved him or not, but her soul was faster than her consciousness and made the decision first.
Zhulong's throat felt like it was blocked by a foreign object. After a long moment, he asked, "So, how long have I been asleep?"
Mingtong chuckled softly, "Well, I haven't paid attention to the details, but the rulers of the Demon Realm have changed several times. Seven ancient demon gods inherited the power of the seven holy demons and roamed the world, but were suppressed and fell. Fission also occurred in the Demon Realm...
Now it's no longer the Demon Realm, it's divided into two areas: the land and the Demon Sea. Well... the Demon Realm has also become the Infinite Land because of the sacrifices you and other dragons have made... Everything has changed... Fortunately, you haven't changed."
Zhulong: “…”
Zhulong knew too well how pampered she was.
But in order to wake him up, she persisted for so long...
Mingtong stared at Zhulong deeply for a long time, sighed softly, closed her eyes, put her eyebrows against his forehead, and murmured.
"I'm not sure when I fell in love with you..."
"But, I want to spend my whole life slowly searching for the answer..."
"Will you stay with me forever and ever?"
"Bright candle."
Zhulong's body trembled slightly: "Mingzhu?"
Mingtong was silent for a moment, then she held his hand and kissed him between the eyebrows. She watched the scales on his body quickly turn pink, and then she whispered.
"Yes, Mingzhu, the Primordial Candle Dragon has already sacrificed himself for the greater good of mankind. The only one left behind is my life contractor, Mingzhu...
This is the candle that I want to spend my whole life to understand and protect. It is the candle that belongs only to me. Is that okay?
Bright candle..."
Facing her affectionate and sparkling gaze, Zhulong, oh, should it be Mingzhu, Mingzhu knew that this might be a deception or sweet talk, but he couldn't help but indulge in it.
Those old guys' "deduction" was really right. He was afraid that he would really... do anything for her.
tsk...
This abominable little succubus was the very embodiment of his weakness, yet he still accepted it with relish.
That’s all.
As long as it doesn't say it, who would know that Mingzhu is the ancient Zhulong?
Anyway, as long as you don’t admit it, it’s not shameful!
Uh-huh.
Not shameful~~
