"Since I've already promised the Divine King, I naturally have to keep my promise," Luo Chen said decisively. "Besides, even if I don't deal with them, they won't let me go. I don't want to surrender and continue to be their pawn." Under the moonlight, a hint of determination appeared on his otherwise ordinary face, like a sword unsheathed, revealing an unstoppable aura.
Ouyang Qian looked at Luo Chen, and a wave of inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She noticed that this once shy young man had gradually grown into a responsible and decisive man after enduring numerous trials. The steadfastness and decisiveness in his eyes filled her with confidence for the future.
"I am the root, you are the variable," Ouyang Qian suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Things only happen thrice. Although the Snake Demon has reshuffled the board three times, beyond this, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to drag you back into the game. Rest assured, as long as we work together, we can rescue the Dragon Girl and eliminate the demons."
Hearing Ouyang Qian's words, a glint flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. He understood that Ouyang Qian already had a new plan. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling the power surging within him, filled with anticipation and fighting spirit. He knew that the road ahead was long and arduous, but as long as they advanced hand in hand, nothing could stop their progress.
"Alright!" Luo Chen nodded firmly. "We can definitely succeed!" His voice carried an unshakeable determination and confidence. Ouyang Qian also smiled, knowing that Luo Chen was ready to face the challenges of the future. They exchanged a smile, as if reaching a tacit understanding. Standing side by side, gazing up at the stars, their hearts were full of hope and anticipation for the future. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would move forward together until they achieved ultimate victory.
In the following days, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian began their intense preparations. By day, they cultivated their Cultivation Technique and studied magical arts, while at night, they gathered to discuss plans and scrutinize details. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of action arrived.
This morning, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian got up early to make their final preparations. They checked their equipment and spells repeatedly to ensure nothing was overlooked. As the sun slowly rose, they stood at the edge of the cliff, ready to embark on their adventure.
"Are you ready?" Ouyang Qian looked at Luo Chen and asked. Luo Chen nodded, "Ready!" His eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation. Ouyang Qian also smiled, "Then let's set off!" With that, she leapt off the cliff and flew towards the distance. Luo Chen followed closely, leaping after her, and the two drew a beautiful arc in the sky before disappearing into the horizon. Waiting for them were unknown challenges and endless adventures, but they were already prepared to face it all!
Luo Chen nodded gently, his gaze following the night sky into the distance, and softly said, "Yanli, let's go back upstairs." His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue, but more than that, it was full of concern for Ouyang Qian.
But Ouyang Qian shook her head, her eyes glistening with determination, "You go back first, I have to wait until dawn. You don't have to stay with me; if you don't go to White Fox Academy tomorrow, you might be expelled." Her words revealed her care for Luo Chen, while also showing her own perseverance and determination.
Luo Chen was startled for a moment, then understood Ouyang Qian's intention. Late at night was when the Snake Demons roamed, and the two Nalan demons had always been eyeing Ouyang Qian. She could only stay in Longquan Square, using the terrain and buildings there to ensure her safety. A warmth filled his heart, proud of Ouyang Qian's attentiveness and courage.
He looked at the sky once more. There was only about an hour until dawn; time was running out. So, he nodded and said, "Alright." His voice was full of understanding and trust for Ouyang Qian.
Luo Chen turned and left, his figure gradually fading into the night until he disappeared at the end of Longquan Square. Ouyang Qian withdrew her gaze, a wave of indescribable emotions surging in her heart. She sat idly back on the well railing, raising her head to look at the bright moon in the sky, her mind filled with chaotic thoughts.
When she decided to stay below Longquan, she appeared relaxed and casually made the decision to stay. But only she knew how difficult that decision was. In the past, the cold and ruthless Ouyang Qian would never have been so soft-hearted. But now, as time spent with Luo Chen melted the ice in her heart, it was replaced by an indescribable attachment.
"We will eventually part ways; why can't I just let go?" Ouyang Qian muttered to herself, a hint of distress and helplessness on her face. She understood that she couldn't stay by Luo Chen's side forever, yet she couldn't let go of this deep bond.
