Chapter 670 I have a dragon vein!
When Long Siyin released Xue Lan, Du Ying was still buzzing on Xue Lan's shoulder. She raised her hand, wanting to take her own immortal sword down...
Then they realized they couldn't pull it off!
"Shameful, get down here!" The woman slapped the hilt of Du Ying's sword, earning a disgruntled clang from her own immortal sword.
The young sect leader interpreted it briefly, and the general meaning was that it wanted to comfort Xue Lan, as it could not lose the person who supplied the sword sheath.
"Alright, alright." Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh at the interaction between the man and the sword, and she gently patted Du Ying.
"I'm fine. I could probably make you another hundred or two hundred scabbards without any problem."
Long Siyin watched Xue Lan hand out cakes, her gaze shifting: "Aren't you afraid of working yourself to death!"
"It's alright!" Xue Lan gave an indifferent smile: "It's just a hundred or so sword sheaths, much kinder than Yan Chengxue."
Long Siyin remembered the extremely long list that Yan Chengxue had once intentionally or unintentionally shown, and nodded in agreement.
"It can't compare to the mutual persecution between the two of you."
After saying this, Long Siyin seized the opportunity and, in a flash, reached out and tore Du Ying off Xue Lan.
Xue Lan clicked her tongue: "So skilled?"
Long Siyin slapped Du Ying a few times, then looked at Xue Lan and said, "You'll get used to it. You'll be tough from all the beatings."
Lord Wolf shrank back: "Shouldn't we be leaving?"
"Look at you." Long Siyin hugged Du Ying in her arms.
"Then let's go!"
Xue Lan, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, transformed into a blur and soared into the sky. Only then did Long Siyin react:
Why are you running? Did I ever hit you?
"Xue Lan, stop right there!"
Of course, Lord Wolf was not going to listen, and he moved swiftly through the void. Long Siyin only managed to catch up with her by pushing her sword escape to its limit, and by then they had already arrived in Qinglin City. It was no longer convenient to fight.
Xue Lan: Plan is in place!
As the sun sets and the evening glow hangs in the sky, dozens of large cargo ships, three or four stories high, are moored at the Qinglinjiang Wharf. Bare-chested porters are busy unloading and loading cargo. All sorts of goods circulate at the wharf, a scene of bustling activity.
Xue Lan couldn't help but sigh and say:
“When I last came here, the dock wasn’t this big. Come to think of it… that was more than a decade ago.”
Long Siyin, who was following behind Xue Lan, did not speak. Her gaze was fixed on a young couple holding a child by the Qinglin River.
The husband jumped down the stone steps by the river first, reaching out to support his wife who was holding their child. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
When they reached the riverbank, they opened the basket they had brought and took out a plate of red pastries and a lifelike little fish lantern.
“This is the fish lantern blessing of Qinglin River!” Long Siyin said with a smile, turning her head slightly to look at Xue Lan: “I heard from the soldiers of Shengyu Army that any child who has released a small fish lantern in Qinglin River will never get lost again.”
"But why a little red fish?"
The person who had just been feeling sentimental coughed awkwardly.
"Red fish... looks better, doesn't it?"
"Xue Lan, there are aquatic creatures!"
Long Siyin called out to Xue Lan, who followed her gaze and saw that the fish lantern that the young couple had released earlier had reached the middle of the river. A woman with white hair and white clothes was standing there. She casually raised her hand, and the human fire energy attached to the small fish lantern flew into the booklet in her hand.
Qu Zhen was a civil official under the Qinglin River Goddess, in charge of the fish lanterns and spirits of all newborn children within the Qinglin River basin, connecting the river's waterways. Today, she was working diligently as usual, and just as she was about to sink into the river, she suddenly heard a woman's voice, tinged with laughter:
"She's a white clam girl."
Qu Zhen slightly moved her wrist to put away the booklet, then looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Two young women were standing on the clouds not far away. One was dressed in silver armor and looked heroic, while the other was dressed in black and had a gentle smile.
The one who spoke just now was the woman in black.
Qu Zhen stepped forward first and bowed with her hands clasped in greeting:
"Qu Zhen greets the two immortal masters."
"I have met Miss Qu."
Xue Lan and Long Siyin returned the greeting. Just as Xue Lan was about to ask if the Goddess of the River was present, she saw white clouds rising from the horizon not far away, and a majestic yet kind voice reached everyone's ears from afar.
"Miss Xue, it's been a long time!"
Before the sound had faded, the person had already arrived; a graceful figure in green appeared before Xue Lan.
Long Siyin quietly observed the River Goddess of Qinglin River. She must have just returned from bringing rain, as she still carried the dampness of the rain. She wore a silver dragon playing with a pearl peony crown, and the hem of her blue brocade robe was embroidered with layers of light-colored waves, constantly changing like living water.
This is a Jiaolong!
As Long Siyin thought this to herself, the person beside her had already stepped forward to meet her:
Xue Lan was pressed for time and had a heavy workload, so she didn't have time to catch up with old friends before getting straight to the point:
"Goddess of the River, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Xue Lan has come here to ask Your Highness for a favor."
Then, he simply dumped the whole thing about Long Siyin wanting to enhance her dragon might onto Li Qing.
They didn't care whether the River Goddess could understand or not.
Long Siyin, watching from behind, was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but tug at the man's sleeve and transmit her voice:
"Isn't that a bit too direct? I don't remember you asking for favors like this before!"
Xue Lan patted her hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This Goddess of the River likes me quite a bit."
After all, he had helped Li Qing overcome his death calamity; it was merely the Dragon's Might.
Then Long Siyin watched helplessly as things raced headlong into an extremely magical direction.
Without hesitation, the Goddess of the River of Qinglin River agreed to Xue Lan's request. Feeling that one dragon might not be enough, she proposed to take Long Siyin to the North Sea, where the Sky Fish Tide Domain is located, to find several other familiar dragon lords to help Long Siyin with her cultivation.
Long Siyin: Is that right?
The Goddess of the River gave detailed instructions, and Xue Lan nodded silently.
In the end, Long Siyin couldn't take it anymore.
She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Xue Lan's arm, transmitting her voice, "This is no longer just an ordinary friend, is it?"
Xue Lan outwardly appeared listless and indifferent, but her voice was lively and smug: "I'm charming! Look at the entire Yuanming Lower Realm, there's no one who doesn't like me!"
Long Siyin twisted the handle slightly.
"Ouch!" Xue Lan winced in pain. "Fine, fine, I'll tell you. Because I have someone... no, wait!"
"Because I possess a dragon vein!"
Xue Lan looked at Long Siyin with her gray eyes, her expression extremely serious: "You should cultivate diligently in the North Sea and strive to break through as soon as possible."
"Maybe one day I'll find a real dragon to teach you?"
Long Siyin didn't have time to listen to her nonsense. The woman thanked Li Qing, then gave Xue Lan a perfunctory reply:
"A real dragon appears in your dreams, go forth!"
Lord Wolf nodded frantically: "Yes, yes!"
Long Siyin's words make perfect sense!
After all, past lives are like a dream!
