Chapter 108 Dragon

Si Jingnian answered decisively:

"Ayao, I absolutely cannot leave you alone in this dangerous place! No matter what happens, I will stay by your side."

Although Shen Qingyao knew Si Jingnian's care and love for her, she still couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing his stubborn words. Her face instantly turned somewhat unpleasant, and her expression showed a hint of displeasure.

"Si Jingnian, how could you be so foolish! Do you really want us all to perish here? As long as I can stop this monster, we all still have hope of survival. But if I fail, none of us will leave this place alive!"

Shen Qingyao shouted anxiously.

Before she could finish speaking, several more shrill screams suddenly rang out from ahead, followed by a deafening roar that shattered the silence of the night and sent chills down one's spine.

Si Jingnian's gaze, burning like a flame, was fixed on Shen Qingyao's beautiful face, as if he wanted to imprint her deep into his soul.

After a long while, he finally nodded gently, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.

Then, he slowly raised his hand and carefully placed the cold, heavy pistol into Shen Qingyao's slightly trembling hand.

Seeing that Si Jingnian finally agreed, Shen Qingyao's previously tense face immediately relaxed, revealing a relieved expression, and her complexion also improved a lot.

However, at that moment, Si Jingnian suddenly took a step forward without warning, opened his arms wide, and tightly embraced Shen Qingyao's soft and boneless body.

Without hesitation, he leaned down and gently kissed Shen Qingyao's fair and delicate cheek.

“Ah Yao…” Si Jingnian’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of undisguised sob and sorrow.

"I will wait for you! No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you. Even until the last moment of my life, until death takes my body away, I will never leave you."

After saying these words, Si Jingnian didn't even wait for Shen Qingyao's response before resolutely turning around and quickly disappearing into the distance.

Shen Qingyao was left standing there, clutching the pistol tightly in her hand, watching Si Jingnian's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions, unable to calm down for a long time.

After Si Jingnian's figure had completely disappeared, Shen Qingyao slowly sat down cross-legged on the spot.

She quickly adjusted her breathing rhythm, gently placed her hands together in front of her, and then skillfully formed a complex and mysterious hand seal.

At the same time, she began to mutter incantations that were difficult for others to understand, as if these words possessed some kind of magical power.

Just then, an amazing scene unfolded! A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Shen Qingyao's body, like a rising sun, instantly illuminating the originally pitch-black environment and slightly dispelling the endless darkness.

This sudden change naturally attracted the attention of the spirit hiding in the shadows.

In an instant, the monster's eyes, as big as lanterns and gleaming with scarlet light, reappeared quietly above Shen Qingyao's head.

At this moment, those blood-red eyes were staring intently at Shen Qingyao, who was sitting cross-legged below, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

However, despite the terrifying scene, Shen Qingyao did not show the slightest fear.

Instead, she remained calm and composed, slowly opened her mouth, and uttered a few words in an unusually low and incomprehensible tone.

“￥｀=——.**【&〈·〉】”

Translation: "We did not mean to trespass on your territory. We hope that you will be magnanimous and spare our lives."

Shen Qingyao's tone was extremely earnest, full of sincerity and humility.

When the spirit heard these words from Shen Qingyao, its massive body visibly paused slightly, clearly surprised by what Shen Qingyao had said.

After a brief silence, those enormous, lantern-like blood-red eyes suddenly vanished without warning.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar suddenly came from below the stone bridge, as if some enormous creature had jumped into the water.

Just as Shen Qingyao was filled with suspicion and making her own guesses, those giant eyes that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared in front of her without warning.

And this time, those eyes were so close to her, almost touching her face.

Only now was Shen Qingyao able to see its true form clearly. What appeared before her was a huge dragon exuding a powerful aura.

This dragon was covered in a layer of shiny black scales, each scale shimmering with a mysterious and cold light, like stars in the night sky.

Its thick, powerful limbs steadily supported its massive body, and its sharp claws seemed capable of easily tearing apart anything in its path.

What surprised Shen Qingyao even more was that she could clearly sense that the dragon was in a state of extreme excitement.

The excitement was like that of a child seeing a long-awaited toy, expressed without any pretense.

Just then, a soft, sweet voice suddenly rang in Shen Qingyao's ears.

"who are you?"

The voice sounded innocent and curious, a stark contrast to the enormous, powerful, and dark dragon in front of them.

It's hard for anyone to imagine that the sound produced by such a colossal creature could be as innocent and adorable as that of a naive little child.

Upon hearing this voice, Shen Qingyao was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure and softly said:

"We are just passersby who stumbled upon this place by accident. We have no intention of offending you. Please, sir, be kind enough to let us leave, okay?"

Because of the influence of that soft, sweet voice, even Shen Qingyao herself didn't realize that her tone of voice had unconsciously taken on a gentler, coaxing quality.

No sooner had she finished speaking than that soft, cute little baby voice rang in her ears again.

"Wow, you can actually understand me! I love it! Why don't you stay and keep me company?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao's heart skipped a beat.

It's important to know that the legendary spirits and monsters have always been known for their eccentric and unpredictable temperaments, and no one can predict what they will do next.

What if this dragon really decides to force her to stay here? In an instant, all sorts of worries and anxieties welled up in Shen Qingyao's heart.
