Since Long Qingxuan found the "family" she was looking for, it was certainly followed by troubles. This planet might be low-key enough to escape the enemy's radar for countless years, but she didn't think it would last forever. If she wanted to protect them, she needed to transfer them away.
The safest place was definitely the Land of Beyond Heaven. The problem was, how should she explain to the people here?
Long Qingxuan pondered for a long time but couldn't devise a solution except to forcibly bring them away. She also couldn't tell them why their ancestor got exiled from the clan. And she didn't know how they would react to this.
Who would have thought that the Dragon Princess, who was always domineering, was now in a dilemma for such a simple problem?
Perhaps it was because she wanted recognition from the "family" deep down in her heart to make her become like this…
"Here we go." At this moment, Grandpa Yi came over with a tray full of delicacies. He placed the plates on the table and said to Long Qingxuan. "Let's eat."
Long Qingxuan turned to look at the simple dishes on the table and calmly sat down opposite Grandpa Yi.
Grandpa Yi gave her a pair of chopsticks and placed a rice bowl in front of her. "Be careful. It's quite hot."
Long Qingxuan's heart, which was cold as ice, felt a touch of warmth when she heard this. It was the long-lost warmth she got from her family. She didn't say anything and started eating.
Grandpa Yi smiled and started his.
The meal went by in silence, accompanied by the raining sound. The scene looked harmonious until a horse-galloping sound interrupted everything.
Grandpa Yi's expression froze, and he abruptly stood up. "Not good. The bandits are here."
Grandpa Yi hurriedly put on the bamboo hat and said to Long Qingxuan. "Stay here, and don't let them see you."
He was afraid that Long Qingxuan's beauty would attract a disaster to herself.
With that, he quickly left with the knife inside his sleeve. From his appearance, this clearly wasn't the first time he encountered this situation.
Long Qingxuan put the chopsticks down, and her entire body emitted icy killing intent.
At this moment, roughly fifty bandits came to the village by horses. Their hands were full of weapons, and their bodies exuded a profound aura. Evidently, they were practitioners.
Although this planet was barren, it was without the heaven and earth aura. As long as they had a profound art, anyone had a chance to become a practitioner.
"Come out and obediently bring all of your food to me." A fierce man, who seemed to be the leader, said loudly. His voice echoed throughout the village, making everyone inside the houses tremble.
The villagers hurriedly came out with a few bags of hard-earned grains and meat, gathering in front of the bandits.
The bandits unceremoniously took everything away. They didn't forget to scan the crowd, looking for a beauty to enjoy the night. To their disappointment, most of the women here were either too old or too young.
Suddenly, a skinny bandit caught a glimpse of a ten-year-old girl with fair features. His eyes lit up, and he pointed at her. "You, come here."
The little girl trembled in fright and tightly hugged her mother, who was also shaking.
Grandpa Yi saw this. He quickly blocked the view and said. "Please let her go."
The skinny man frowned in dissatisfaction and pushed Grandpa Yi away, making the latter stagger to the side. He strode toward the little girl and shouted. "Either hand her over or die here."
The other bandits didn't say anything and watched the scene playfully. They didn't have a special hobby like the skinny man, but it didn't mean they would stop him.
Suddenly, Er Gu left his mother's embrace and came to block the skinny bandit's path. "You bad guy! I will fight with you!"
As he spoke, he punched out with everything he had.
The skinny bandit sneered and swung the machete in his hand toward Er Gu's head. He wanted to chop this little bastard in half for daringly blocking him.
"No!" Grandpa Yi and the other villagers shouted in horror. Everything was too fast, and there was nothing they could do. Despair, helpless, anger. Everything appeared in their hearts as they watched the machete break through the wind toward Er Gu's head.
Ding!
All of a sudden, Long Qingxuan appeared in front of Er Gu and grabbed the machete with her slender hand. Her appearance immediately stunned everyone.
The skinny bandit returned to his senses and laughed wildly when he saw Long Qingxuan's face. "Hahaha! What a great beauty!"
His laughter woke everyone from the stupor.
Grandpa Yi seized this chance and rushed toward the skinny bandit with the knife. "Run away, girl!"
The skinny man sneered and tried to move his hand. However, he discovered that he couldn't move an inch. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Long Qingxuan. "You…"
At first, he thought that Long Qingxuan was, at most, a Spirit Profound Realm's practitioner. To stop his attack, which was without profound energy, was already reached her limit. But now, he realized it wasn't the case!
Puff!
Grandpa Yi's knife sank into the skinny bandit's chest, piercing his heart. Everyone, including Grandpa Yi himself, was stunned by the scene.
Thud!
"Ugh…" The skinny bandit's eyes widened in disbelief as he lost his life.
The bandit leader returned to his sense and looked at Long Qingxuan coldly. "Who are you?"
He couldn't see Long Qingxuan's realm clearly, but with his people here, he didn't think she could deal with them alone.
This couldn't be blamed on him for thinking like this because the profound knowledge of this desolate star was shallow. One had to know that the strongest person here was only in the Heaven Profound Realm. Hence, the bandit leader didn't think Long Qingxuan was a great expert.
Er Gu was stunned and looked at Long Qingxuan's back blankly. "So powerful."
Long Qingxuan turned to look at him and said softly. "You're very brave."
Seeing this scene, the bandit leader frowned even deeper. He waved his hand and said. "Take her down!"
All the bandits behind him immediately rushed toward Long Qingxuan.
Before they could move further, they suddenly froze on the place as if something had pinned them and their horses to the ground.
Long Qingxuan slowly turned to the bandits. "Tell me. How do you all want to die?"
