The words "little dragoness" were perfectly normal, but from his mouth, they somehow carried a hint of ambiguous seduction!
Jin Bao'er looked over in disbelief, unable to fathom that these words could come from Long Li Xing!
She remembered how, when he was still with the Phoenix clan, he had asked others for advice on seduction, his techniques clumsy and awkward. She had thought he would never be like this...
Unexpectedly!
The more she thought about it, the more a sense of shame washed over her, as if she had been teased! This guy was clearly very capable, yet he pretended to be clueless! Hmph!
With this thought, any lingering nervousness and shyness instantly vanished. She stared coldly at the man before her.
"Despicable and shameless!"
Long Li Xing: "???"
He was bewildered. Wasn't she just blushing and nervous a moment ago? Why did she suddenly turn cold? Had he missed something?
The angrier Jin Bao'er became, the more she thought about it, and finally, she turned and left, ignoring the man bound to the wall, his face full of confusion...
A cool breeze blew...
Dispelling the heat within her heart! Jin Bao'er stood under a tree, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, finally calming down completely!
She wasn't naturally a shy person. It was just a momentary impulse. However, that Long Li Xing was truly alluring! She had never realized it before.
As she pondered this, two figures approached in the distance. At first, she paid them no mind. But as she turned, she detected a faint, strange demonic aura. It was subtle... but she was certain!
Having been tricked before, she was exceptionally cautious this time, suppressing all her aura and quietly followed them...
After half a day of tracking, she found that these two cultivators, who resembled female attendants, exhibited no peculiar behavior. Only then did she return to the large tree where she had first spotted them.
Since the demonic influence wasn't from their contact after leaving, it meant they must have been in close proximity to a demon before passing this spot!
Then, she followed the direction from which the two female attendants had come, her steps seemingly casual but her movements very careful. The cobblestone path led all the way into a bamboo forest...
Gazing at the deep bamboo forest before her, she paused. She didn't rush in to investigate. Putting aside everything else, a rash action would inevitably lead to a fight if she were discovered. At her current strength, she was strong among her peers, even capable of challenging opponents two levels higher!
But what if the opponent was three levels higher than her? This was the Upper Realm from ten thousand years ago, a place where powerful cultivators could be called immortals. She didn't believe she had a sure chance of a clean escape.
In a mere three seconds, she thought of many things! Then, she decisively moved away, as if her hesitation had just been an illusion.
Deep within the bamboo forest, a pair of ink-black eyes stared in the direction she had left. The power coalescing in their hands was filled with a ferocious killing intent, which vanished the moment she turned away! However, the murderous intent in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest...
"Dragon race... *gurgle*!"
A hoarse, grating laugh emerged from the formless creature, filled with greed and excitement!
Jin Bao'er returned to her room, and as expected, saw the man who had already broken free from his bonds, rolling around on her bed with an excited expression...
She then stared at him expressionlessly, her gaze peculiar... If he's sick, get him treated! Why hadn't she noticed this before? Could it be... a genetic mutation after tens of thousands of years?
Hearing the sound, Long Li Xing suddenly snapped back to reality, his movements freezing...
It's over, it's over! He had acted on impulse and forgotten to be aware of his surroundings! She wouldn't think he had some strange habit, would she? His persona of being charmingly cold and aloof!
The man on the bed felt a mix of emotions, but his face showed little expression. He simply smiled faintly at Jin Bao'er and calmly put down the quilt.
"I was just tired and wanted to sleep for a while..."
Jin Bao'er nodded upon hearing this, her expression conveying understanding, as if she knew it all!
Long Li Xing: No! You don't understand!!
He was simply curious why the massive ice cone, shaped by Jin Bao'er's spiritual energy, had not yet disappeared after so long. He had only wanted to take a look, but then he suddenly smelled the familiar faint fragrance on the bed and acted impulsively. m..oΓg
Jin Bao'er couldn't be bothered to dwell on the reason for his sudden change in personality. Thinking of the incident just now, she briefly pondered and then told him about it!
After all, she didn't want to see demons controlling the Upper Realm, leading to a war between humans and dragons and the suffering of all living beings! And Long Li Xing, being pushed out as a shield by the Demon God, incurring hatred and then being expelled from the realm, causing him to be unwelcome by all three races, it seemed they should cooperate right now!
After listening to her account, the man on the bed instantly returned to his normal state. His entire aura became imposing! Killing intent leaked out, his gaze cold and serious. His eyes narrowed slightly...
"You suspect the Linlang clan is also colluding with that Demon God?"
After all, there was a precedent. What the demons were plotting should be related to the entire Upper Realm. Simply winning over the Fanyin clan was not enough.
Jin Bao'er nodded, her expression calm and grave.
"There must be something peculiar in the bamboo forest. I could feel the chill from outside. If there are traitors among these immortals, we might be caught off guard!"
On her way back just now, she had casually made a transmission talisman. She believed it would reach the Dragon clan in a couple of days, and the old White Dragon would likely alert the entire Dragon race after hearing it.
However, the most important thing right now was to figure out the demons' ultimate goal and the potential enemies, as well as the situation on the immortals' side. If she were to inform them rashly that demons had infiltrated, it might alert the enemy. Moreover, who could guarantee that the clan leaders of these major clans had not already been swayed by the demons...
Long Li Xing naturally understood this logic quickly, but he still sneered! Leaning casually against the bed, his face was filled with arrogant disdain and contempt.
"So what? I don't care about the war between the three races. Even if a certain clan is annihilated, to me, it would just be the death of some ants!"
What he said was not entirely unreasonable. After all, having comprehended the power of the Great Dao, his lifespan was actually very long! The annihilation of any clan would have no impact on him...
Jin Bao'er pursed her lips slightly and simply gave him a cool glance, saying nothing!
After all, she couldn't force him to help if he didn't want to. Moreover, the man before her was a former Demon God. It was likely that even if all the cultivators in the entire Upper Realm were annihilated, he wouldn't even frown! And he seemed to have some past grievances with the Dragon God Long Zhan...
Thinking this, her gaze gradually grew more serious. Her approach today had likely alerted the other party. If she missed this night, she might lose the chance to uncover the truth!
But if she suddenly approached, and couldn't defeat them, it would be courting death and humiliation! She wouldn't do something with such a low probability of success.
