Looking at the surging black smoke, Tang Li’s expression turned cold.
Qi Yihan asked her, “Why did the black smoke cross the line?”
Previously, Qi Yihan and Tang Li had checked the information about this world. The Land of Darkness was separated from the Land of Light by a barrier. As long as the four great clans did not run in, this barrier could prevent the black smoke from invading.
“Someone must have touched this barrier.”
“Could it be Qi Lingxuan?” When Situ Jin said that, the four of them looked displeased.
!!
Tang Li snorted and said, “If he really dares to touch the barrier, he will definitely be corroded by the black smoke. When that happens, he will be a zombie.”
As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, she suddenly sensed something and said to the three of them, “Leave this place first. I’ll go find Qi Lingxuan.”
With that, she quickly ran to the side.
However, before long, her body felt light. Then, her body was thrown into the air and she sat on the white tiger.
Qi Yihan, who had transformed into a white tiger, said, “Sit tight. Where is it? Tell me, I’ll take you there.”
Tang Li smiled and told him the direction.
Then, she laid on his back and hugged his fur. “What if you’re in danger?”
“I have the ability of the White Tiger now. Don’t underestimate the patriarch of the clan here.”
Tang Li smiled and nodded.
Qi Yihan ran for nearly half an hour and stopped at a swamp that was corroded by black smoke.
Tang Li jumped down from Qi Yihan’s back and gave him a jade pendant. “This jade pendant has a purifying effect. As long as the black smoke reaches your side, it will automatically be purified.”
“What about you?”
“I still have treasures.”
After saying that, Tang Li held his hand and flew towards the swamp that was corroded by the black smoke.
In the middle of the swamp, a very large dragon was writhing and struggling in the black smoke, roaring in pain.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan did not approach immediately. Instead, they stopped a few meters away from him.
Qi Yihan looked over and asked, “Can he resist this black smoke?”
“He can’t,” Tang Li said. “The black smoke here is different from the black smoke on Earth. But he’s a little better than Qin Mingyue. He didn’t get corroded immediately.”
Qi Yihan nodded and asked, “If he becomes a zombie, can we still bring him back?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
Qi Yihan thought for a while and asked, “Is there a way to keep the black smoke in his body? So that whenever he does something daughter, we can punish him with it. This way, he probably won’t have time to harm people.”
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Qi Yihan, who had become calm when he said this. The corners of her lips curled up as she rubbed her chin and nodded. “Good idea. If not for the fact that he’s the Child of Destiny of our world, I would have made him disappear a long time ago.”
With that, she extended her hand towards Qi Lingxuan and quickly drew with her fingers in midair. A golden light flashed in the rolling black smoke. In the next moment, it flew towards Qi Lingxuan at an extremely fast speed.
After the golden light disappeared into Qi Lingxuan’s body, Tang Li threw another talisman at him. In the next moment, the three of them were outside the black smoke.
The moment Qi Lingxuan was outside the black smoke, he transformed into a human. At the same time, he covered his head and rolled on the ground, wailing and begging Tang Li, “Fourth Aunt, save me. I feel like there’s something in my body devouring me.”
“Humph!”
Tang Li snorted and said coldly, “You asked for it. If you don’t mess with the rules here, this black smoke will not cross the line.”
“Fourth Aunt, I was wrong. As long as you save me, I won’t mess around anymore.”
“No chance.”
“Ah… Mm… Help, Fourth Uncle, help me!”
The muscles on Qi Lingxuan’s face started to twitch. It was obvious that the black smoke was already devouring his consciousness.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at him coldly. After he fainted, Tang Li and Qi Yihan took him away.
The three of them returned to the palace of the White Tiger Clan. Situ Jin and Qin Mingyue looked at Qi Lingxuan, who had a black totem on his face, and guessed what was going on.
“Was that black smoke caused by Qi Lingxuan?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, what’s the point of keeping this person?” After Situ Jin finished speaking, he was about to slap him to death.
Qi Yihan stopped him. “This person can’t die yet.”
Situ Jin frowned.
Tang Li said, “We’ve read the ancient books here before. The Land of Darkness and our place are blocked by a barrier built by the four celestial masters. Now that the field has been destroyed by Qi Lingxuan, we have to immediately gather the four celestial masters to build a new barrier.”
Situ Jin and Qin Mingyue would definitely cooperate immediately.
“What do we need to do? Should we inform the celestial master immediately?”
“When the time comes, the celestial masters of the four great clans each have to cast a spell on their own ancestral altar.”
“Are you sure they know the spell?”
“It’s alright. I’ll send a voice transmission to tell them what to do.”
The two of them were relieved.
They had a special way of contacting each other, so they quickly got in touch with their celestial masters.
Then, it was the celestial master from the Green Dragon Clan.
Tang Li woke Qi Lingxuan up.
Qi Lingxuan was overjoyed to find that he was still conscious.
However, in the next second, he felt that his body could not move. The feeling of being swallowed came again, and his expression changed.
At that moment, Tang Li said to him, “If you want to live, get the celestial master of the Green Dragon Clan to go to the ancestral altar immediately and cast a spell with the other three celestial masters to rebuild the barrier that you destroyed.”
“Will you save me when I do that?” Qi Lingxuan was obviously more concerned about this.
Tang Li looked at him and smiled mockingly. “Yes.”
“Alright.”
With that, he quickly used a special method to contact the celestial master of the Azure Dragon Clan.
Tang Li immediately went to the ancestral altar.
Then, she used voice transmission to tell the other three masters what to do.
The four of them spent almost a day repairing the barrier.
At that moment, Tang Li was so tired that she could not even move her fingers.
Qi Yihan had been guarding under the altar. When he saw that she was about to fall, he rushed up and hugged her. His body was trembling from worry. “Li, are you alright?”
Tang Li forced a smile at him and said, “I’m so tired. I want to sleep.”
With that, she closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in her and Qi Yihan’s new room.
At this moment, the door opened.
Tang Li quickly looked up and saw Qi Yihan walk in.
Seeing that she was awake, Qi Yihan quickly walked to the bed and sat down. He reached out to hold her hand on the blanket and heaved a sigh of relief. “Li, you finally woke up.”
Tang Li looked at him in a daze and asked, “How long have I been sleeping? Why is your beard growing out?”
With that, she reached out her other hand, wanting to touch the beard on his chin.
Qi Yihan lowered his head to let her touch him.
He said, “You slept for three days and three nights.”
“That long?”
“Yeah.”
Qi Yihan let go of her hand and said, “I’ll bring you something to eat first. You haven’t eaten for a few days.”
Hearing that, Tang Li felt like she could eat an entire cow right now.
“Get the kitchen to make more meat for me later. I want to eat meat the most now.”
Hearing that, Qi Yihan smiled. “Alright.”
Qi Yihan quickly brought Tang Li a bowl of porridge with some sugar. Tang Li gulped it down in no time. She said to him with an aggrieved expression, “I’m still hungry.”
Qi Yihan touched her stomach. “Wait, your stomach won’t be able to take so much food at once.”
Tang Li nodded.
Qi Yihan then changed her clothes and carried her to wash up.
While she was washing up, Qi Yihan shaved as well.
Before he could shave, Tang Li touched his chin and said, “Why is your beard so long.”
Qi Yihan held her hand and kissed it. “I was so worried about you that I forgot to shave it.”
A sweet feeling welled up in Tang Li’s heart. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the chin.
After kissing, she touched her lips and said, “Stabbing lips.”
Qi Yihan was amused by her cute actions. He rubbed her head and said, “Something happened to the four great clans these past few days. I’ll tell you after you wash up.”
“Alright.”
After the two of them left the bathroom, Qi Yihan brought Tang Li a plate of digestible desserts.
As Tang Li ate her desserts, Qi Yihan told her what had happened in the past few days.
“After you repaired the barrier, everyone knows that it was Qi Lingxuan who destroyed the barrier. The people of the four clans hate him to the core. Our three clans attacked the Azure Dragon Clan and now Qi Lingxuan is in jail.”
When Tang Li heard this, not only did she not pity him, she even gloated. “Then who is in charge of the Green Dragon Clan now?”
“For the time being, Situ Jin is in charge of it. The celestial masters of the few clans are all unconscious because of repairing the barrier just like you.”
Tang Li nodded. “It takes a lot of energy to repair the barrier.”
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, “When I recover, we’ll leave. When the time comes, we’ll hand these big clans over to the original heads. I’ll think of a way to erase the traces of us being here.”
“Alright.”
The news that Tang Li had woken up quickly reached Situ Jin and Qin Mingyue’s ears. The two of them immediately rushed over.
Tang Li told them about leaving.
Situ Jin definitely agreed. He asked, “Since we’re leaving this place, what do we need to prepare?”
“There’s no need to prepare anything. When the time comes, come to my palace and I’ll take you away.”
“Alright.” After saying that, Situ Jin held Qin Mingyue’s hand and smiled happily. “Mingyue, let’s get married when we get back.”
Qin Mingyue looked at his expectant gaze and lowered her eyes. However, her heart was filled with bitterness.
Tang Li looked at the two of them and said, “Let’s leave tomorrow. We’ll stay here for the night.”
Qin Mingyue looked up at Tang Li with gratitude in her eyes.
Since they were leaving, the two of them stayed in the guest room tonight.
Qin Mingyue cooked a table of dishes for Situ Jin.
Holding a glass of wine, Situ Jin smiled at her. “Why are you suddenly in a mood to cook?”
Qin Mingyue pursed her lips and said, “I just want you to try my cooking.”
Situ Jin nodded and picked up his chopsticks to eat something. He nodded. “Not bad.”
Qin Mingyue smiled happily. She raised the glass in her hand and said to him, “Situ Jin, let me toast you. Thank you for liking me.”
Situ Jin drank with her.
Then, Qin Mingyue poured another glass of wine for the two of them and raised it again. “Situ Jin, I apologize on behalf of my insensible sister.”
Situ Jin suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked with a smile, “Mingyue, why are you taking the initiative to toast me tonight? What’s on your mind?”
Qin Mingyue’s hand trembled and some of the wine in the glass spilled out.
She quickly looked away, but a charming blush appeared on her face. She said, “I don’t have anything on my mind.”
Situ Jin grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. He leaned towards her and stopped when their lips were a few centimeters away. His voice was bewitching. “Really?”
Qin Mingyue rolled her eyes uncomfortably and nodded.
In the next second, her lips were sealed.
After passionately kissing, Situ Jin said vaguely, “But I have something on my mind. Will you give me that?”
“Ummm…”
