Chapter 3, desiring to sing again as dreams awaken
When Dan's black pupils focused, and when they opened again, they still carried that same lazy smile
Dan Li felt that he was lying flat on the ground, struggling to get up, but he tripped over the hem of his own clothes and fell back down again
Click, clack ... ...
It is truly... already beyond salvation
She tilted her face upward to look, and in the blurred light and shadow, only the cold and stern lines of her jaw were visible—before she could react, it was already rapidly approaching
She shuddered, barely managing to stand up, and spat out another mouthful of fresh blood
In that moment, the two words shouted by Su Mufang echoed in her heart
As Su Mu mentioned, her fate is closely tied to the Shi royal family. Today marks the time of national ruin and familial destruction, reaching the lowest ebb of fortune. It is inherently perilous, and to forcefully engage in a battle of magic with others, having sustained until now, is already a matter of running out of both light and oil.
What catches the eye at first is not the appearance, but rather the pair of bright, shining eyes.
She shifted her body and, with some effort, picked up the paper figure from the ground
Dry fingers imbued with heat, the tactile sensation of the skin can even perceive the thin and coarse calluses, suggesting a person accustomed to warfare
Her voice carried a smile, exuding a sense of languor mixed with frivolity, and as her eyes twirled around, the signs of sleepiness were nowhere to be seen
He leaned down, casually yet assertively lifting her chin with the pad of his finger
Dragon Qi
The winding blood flowed remarkably red, but when it fell to the ground, it surprisingly turned colorless
This shining gaze resembles that of a person who has encountered the most exquisite delicacy, filled with longing and desire.
He stood against the light, his features obscured, yet one could only sense an invisible pressure bearing down upon him
She looked at him without flinching, as if she had not been intimidated at all by his notorious brutality, and surprisingly, a faint smile appeared on her face
She could no longer bear her own weight, so she simply let go and allowed herself to fall onto the couch
In the blinding light, it seemed as if a tall figure was blocking the entire line of sight within Dan Li's pupils
Since it is the dragon's energy, the identity of the person before me is almost self-evident
It has turned out so miserable; it would be better to let Su Mu take care of me instead
She laughed heartily, her laughter still echoing, as she covered her lips. Blood dripped from her sleeve.
The person stepped closer, their toes almost touching Dan Li's body
... ...
Her black eyes narrowed into a line as she rolled on the ground, straining to get back on her feet
As one continues to spit, it becomes a habit
You are even more foolish than mahjong... It can still occasionally steal my dishes, while you have never succeeded even once
Dan Li's eyes instantly brightened at this astonishing discovery
The hole in the window allowed the light of the snow from the courtyard to seep in, casting a faint glow that was both dim and bright. The person's hand, imbued with an undeniable force, made Dan Li feel as though there was nowhere to escape.
Only the dragon energy, which governs all things in heaven and earth and is naturally formed by the supreme power of the Nine Five, can cause such a heavy blow to the esteemed Su Mu, the leader, when he is caught off guard
Dan Li wished to evade, yet remained utterly still, allowing the other party to gently caress her delicate skin
Dragon Qi
Whose footsteps are those
With a thud, she fell from the bed, her entire body collapsing onto the floor, and once again, a mouthful of blood was spat out
He growled softly, uttering these two words, his face contorted with rage, while blood and bright yellow energy surged around him even more violently
She exerted all her strength to sit up; although her calves felt weak, she managed to kneel and sit on the ground, gaining a sense of safety.
Dragon Qi
Enduring the excruciating pain and dizziness throughout her body, she examined the paper figure closely, and indeed, the characters "Su Mu" were inscribed on it
So close
Emperor Zhao Yuan of the Qin dynasty raised the face of the woman on the ground with a natural and forceful demeanor
Before she could react, a white shadow flashed by, and with a "meow," it leaped down, landing heavily between her chest and abdomen
In the next moment, the palace gate was pushed open
The sound of footsteps arises again
Can you help me up
It is not unwillingness, but inability—at the moment of skin touching, she only felt a deafening sound in her ears, as if countless golden lights were flashing before her eyes, intertwining chaotically into a soaring five-clawed yellow dragon shape!
He blinked, almost thinking he had seen it wrong
Upon waking again, my vision was blurred and somewhat dazzling. As I slowly opened my eyes, I was almost brought to tears by the poor quality of the candle smoke in this hall.
A silent scream filled with resentment surged within her heart, and with a tilt of her head, she completely fainted.
The bright glow of the palace lantern illuminates the dim inner hall
As she thought this, she wanted to laugh out loud, but the intense pain in her chest made her grimace.
The moment this thought arose, all drowsiness and warmth were instantly extinguished by ice and snow
... ...
This is the vital essence condensed from the practitioner's heart's blood; once expelled, it will render all medicinal stones ineffective
It is the crystal lotus hairpin on the head
A faint sound, barely perceptible, echoed from outside the hall
Ah!
In these eyes, there is not the fear, despair, or hatred he is accustomed to seeing, but rather... a longing desire!
In the powerless softness, warmth permeates to the very marrow, making one wish to fall asleep and return, never to awaken again
Step by step, act recklessly, as if wielding the power of life and death
"Even the paper for your own destiny has been used, Su Mu, you have truly suffered a great loss this time..."
The thick quilt is very soft and warm, well worth the afternoon of sunlight it was exposed to a few days ago.
In the flickering candlelight, there stands a person before her, looking down at her from a position of authority
The eerie blue glow suddenly vanished, and a small paper figure fell from the sky. After a flash of blue light, it was already half charred.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously, and only then did she slowly begin to see the scene before her.
In the dim light, that person with a pair of deep, dark eyes fixed their gaze upon her. The moment their eyes met, Dan Li felt a discomfort, as if her entire being was restrained, unable to move even the slightest bit
Her voice carried the unique softness and sweetness of a Jiangnan woman, entering his ears like a playful cat's tail teasingly brushing against them, bringing a sense of tingling and delight
Her face pressed against the ground, the footsteps grew clearer and closer.
Have I really ascended to heaven?
She hugged her head, slightly rubbing against the comforter. Unintentionally, her hand was pricked painfully by some sharp object.
Mahjong ... ... Are you really going to lose weight
Upon closer inspection, the woman still had a sparkle in her eyes, as if she were experiencing an indescribable excitement.
After a quarter of an hour, Danli finally felt that he could move a little.
He is the chief culprit of today's upheaval in the Tang state, Emperor Zhao Yuan, Qin Yu
Su Mu could no longer hold on, and after letting out a painful cry, he summoned all his remaining strength, instantly vanishing into the void.
In this world, the only thing that can instill fear in practitioners is the intangible dragon energy that the true son of heaven possesses by birth
The inner hall was suddenly plunged into a deathly silence
Crimson blood, continuously sticky on the clothes, on the hands, on the couch, still transforms into colorless.
As she was lost in such chaotic thoughts, her surroundings gradually became dimmer—she no longer felt cold, and it seemed as if her entire being was about to float up into the sky
The unhurried footsteps are the distinct sound of military boots striking the ground
Dan Li felt her entire body tense and tremble, unable to articulate or explain, as if instinctively sensing danger
