The little princess, trained by the four old dragons, possessed top-tier strength and resilience! If anyone needed to worry, it was others!
Jin Bao'er noticed the pride in his eyes and felt a hint of confusion. But hearing that he was fine and had someone protecting him, she knew immediately who that would be! That so-called brother accompanying Long Huan…
Never mind. As long as the little girl liked him, even if he wasn't strong, she would find a way to make him powerful enough to protect her child!
Just then…
A fiery red, scorching figure streaked across the sky, hurtling towards Jin Bao'er and the other. Its speed was so great that no one could react.
“Wow!! You’re finally back! I thought you’d never come back, that you’d abandoned me! You left with the baby and everyone else, completely ignoring me and Tianshu’s lives, you’re so mean! After I worried so much about you, you woke up, didn't even leave a word, and just ascended! Do you know how scared I was? What if you couldn’t come back? What would I have done?!”
After a torrent of scolding, complaints, and anxious shouts, the stunning girl with fiery red hair, bright features, and a sexy figure looked up at her. Her eyes were slightly red, brimming with suppressed tears! It was a mix of anger, fear, joy, and dependence…
The girl appeared to be sixteen or seventeen, her beautiful features captivating! She was fiery and bold, the kind of beauty who clearly wasn't to be trifled with. At that moment, she glared at Jin Bao'er relentlessly, her hands gripping Jin Bao'er's arms so tightly that her fingertips turned white, testament to the force.
She feared that the woman before her would once again leave without a word, and she wouldn't see her for many years.
Eight years. She had waited eight years for this moment…
Jin Bao'er’s heart trembled. Ignoring the pain in her arm, she reached out and gently stroked the girl’s red hair, a smile on her lips.
“I’m sorry, I made you worry!”
Was Jin Huang angry? Of course, she was. But she could also feel the other’s concern, and she knew without a doubt how terrified they would have been, realizing the dangers they would face after she ascended to the universe in that manner!
Even though her departure was hasty and not her intention…
At Jin Bao'er’s words, the girl’s entire body jolted. The tears she had held back finally fell, and she then threw herself into Jin Bao'er’s arms, whimpering softly, overcome with emotion and joy.
Long Li Xing stood by, his gaze indifferent and his aura icy, silently expressing his displeasure!
Jin Huang was unfazed by the cold, and Jin Bao'er, with her pure ice spiritual root, couldn’t feel it either…
Only the large group of dragons, who had been lively and excited moments before, were to be pitied! A cold wind suddenly swept through, and their sturdy bodies couldn’t help but shiver!
The handsome young man who arrived a step behind Jin Huang, stopping just a short distance away, watched the scene unfold. He breathed a slight sigh of relief…
In the past few years, they had trained day and night, striving to break through their limits and ascend to the universe! To find their heartless master/companion! Thankfully, Jin Bao'er had returned, or he truly didn’t know how long Jin Huang would have endured this.
Over the years, he had also matured considerably, seeing things more clearly than Jin Huang.
As Jin Bao'er looked up, she saw the fair-skinned, handsome young man with a face like a painting! Tianshu, the Beast King of the cultivation world! He was now looking at her with a complex expression.
Their eyes met, and Tianshu offered a gentle smile. Jin Bao'er’s reaction was to smile too; some things were understood without needing to be said.
Seeing this, Long Li Xing’s face darkened further! His cold eyes fixed on the fair-skinned youth, and he subtly unleashed his chilling aura…
Trying to seduce my wife? Thinking I don’t exist??
Tianshu stiffened, his pupils constricting! His heart was instantly filled with vigilance and shock!
As expected of someone who could return after ascending! His aura alone was already so terrifying?? How strong must his pressure and power be?!
He recalled their first direct confrontation, where the other had merely used a shadowy black dragon remnant to utterly crush him!
He thought with awe! Some people… were truly born to stand at the apex of the world! To look down upon all things!
Afterward, Jin Bao'er, along with her companions, bid farewell to the dragons and they all proceeded to the world barrier…
Because the gate of ascension had suddenly disappeared, not only could cultivators in the mortal realm not ascend, but those in the upper realm couldn’t descend either!
No one knew what had happened, but the two worlds were indeed completely separated!
Thus, they traveled to the world barrier at the edge of the upper realm, the same edge where Jin Bao'er had encountered the black cloud.
At the edge of what seemed like an endless desert, an invisible, transparent barrier stood, completely separating the two worlds.
At that time, despite her strength, she couldn’t break the barrier, let alone shake the power of the Great Dao rules! She was helpless against it…
Now, she was imbued with abundant Great Dao power, enough to disregard heavenly might and control the rules of time! Her strength was comparable to that of gods!
With Long Li Xing having surpassed the limits of his dragon bloodline and completely mastered the power of the majestic rules, together they could even destroy the entire upper realm!
She stood on the scorching sand, her gaze fixed on the sky, and as expected, she saw the black cloud she hadn’t seen in a long time… her expression brightened!
This time, she raised her hand gently!
The power of rules flowed through her hands, and with a flick of her finger, it shot towards the sky. In an instant, she controlled the power and pulled down the black cloud…
The black cloud, slumbering peacefully, was suddenly yanked by a colossal, absolute force, its entire form uncontrollably descending! It woke up in a fright!
Then, it was met by a face so familiar it would haunt its dreams.
You again? Can we negotiate? Can you find a different black cloud to torment? Why is it always me? I’m just a useless weakling! The most useless, most worthless of all Heavenly Dao avatars, can’t you find another cloud?
The black cloud felt like crying, but it couldn’t fight, and it couldn’t escape. Every time it encountered this woman, it was captured! The first time it was beaten, the second time it was interrogated, the third time…
Jin Bao'er frowned upon seeing this, finding the black cloud somewhat foolish! Not very intelligent…
“Let me ask you, if a crack were to appear in this world barrier, would it affect the two worlds?”
She didn’t want to rashly break the barrier for her own selfish reasons, only to cause chaos in both worlds, leading to widespread suffering. She would be a sinner.
Upon hearing this, the black cloud sneered. Break the barrier? Who do you think you are? Even Heavenly Dao can’t do it, you’re really something! Heavenly Dao Emperor is awesome…
Its thoughts halted! The black cloud stared at her dumbfoundedly, then slightly swayed and looked at her again, realizing with astonishment… what was this? It couldn’t discern her cultivation level?
This woman had only been gone for a few decades, yet she had become increasingly mysterious and powerful? And this aura… it made it inexplicably nervous!
It felt like being scrutinized by its own superior.
