Chapter 126 You need to understand me a little.
Shen Qingyao hung her head listlessly, her whole body drooping like a frostbitten eggplant. Her heart was tightly enveloped by a thick, boundless despair, almost suffocating her.
Perhaps this time they really are going to die here. They will all be wiped out, their lives lost in this terrible and eerie place.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyao felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, causing her so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
Especially since she hadn't even had a chance to say a word to her master, to tell him that she was in danger.
Moreover, the eldest sister is here too. If Master knew that his two most beloved disciples had unfortunately perished here, how heartbreaking that would be!
At this moment, Shen Qingyao was like a flower that had lost the nourishment of the sun, her head drooping and her whole body exuding a listless aura.
Seeing her like this, Long Jiaojiao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Then, in a childish voice, Long Jiaojiao said, "Mommy, don't be sad, I'll come and save them!"
Before the words were finished, its small body trembled slightly, and its thick, powerful dragon tail swung out, swiftly pulling Si Jingnian and the others in front of Shen Qingyao.
The moment Long Jiaojiao made his move, the eerie chill that had been frantically attacking everyone seemed to be greatly frightened, instantly dissipating and turning into countless wisps of yin energy that fled in all directions, like headless flies unable to find their target.
Shen Qingyao suddenly raised her head, staring at the dragon in front of her with a look of astonishment, her eyes filled with unbelievable surprise and speechlessness.
She never imagined that Long Jiaojiao would actually be moved by her sorrow and would rescue Si Jingnian and the others without hesitation.
Si Jingnian and the others were suddenly swept to this place by a powerful force. They had no time to react and were all stunned, their faces full of confusion, completely unaware of what had happened.
"Jiaojiao, thank you!"
Shen Qingyao's lips trembled slightly, and her voice sounded a little hoarse, as if she had just been crying.
At this moment, her beautiful face was a mixture of surprise and joy, as striking as a dazzling firework in the night sky.
Standing to the side, Long Jiaojiao looked at Shen Qingyao, who was so emotional, and suddenly became a little shy.
It shyly reached out and scratched its head. A faint blush had crept onto its pink face, making it as beautiful and charming as a peach blossom in early spring.
"Oh dear, what can I do? You're my mother, and I can't bear to see you sad and upset!"
As she spoke, Long Jiaojiao blushed and turned away, her small figure appearing exceptionally cute and shy.
However, at that moment, Shen Qingyao had no time to pay attention to the shy Long Jiaojiao.
Her gaze quickly shifted to Si Jingnian, who was not far away, and she keenly sensed that something seemed off about him.
At this moment, Si Jingnian was clenching his teeth so tightly that they seemed to be embedded in his gums.
The veins on his forehead bulged high from the excessive force, resembling winding earthworms, a sight that was terrifying.
Large drops of sweat, as big as beans, kept sliding down his cheeks, dripping onto the ground and forming small puddles.
His once fair face was now completely bloodless, displaying a sickly pallor, and even the area around his eyes had a faint dark blue tinge. He looked extremely haggard and weak.
"Junior Sister, it seems that Young Marshal Si has been invaded by powerful Yin energy."
Ruan Hongshuang, panting heavily, hurriedly went to Shen Qingyao's side and said.
Her face was full of fatigue from the fierce battle, and her once rosy cheeks had lost their luster.
"I know!"
Shen Qingyao frowned, staring intently at Si Jingnian with a heavy gaze.
His face was as pale as paper, and he exuded a chilling aura, clearly corrupted by the powerful Yin energy.
However, faced with this situation, Shen Qingyao was extremely anxious but helpless.
Because her soul was already unstable, and she had just experienced a terrifying and fierce battle.
At this moment, she felt as if her body had been drained of all strength, her whole body was limp and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
It could even be said that at this moment, she was in dire straits herself. If it weren't for Long Jiaojiao's help earlier, she would probably have already become that terrifying female ghost's puppet.
Ruan Hongshuang, standing to the side, looked at Shen Qingyao with concern and said softly:
"Junior Sister, your soul is currently in turmoil, and Young Marshal Si has been invaded by Yin energy. The situation is truly dire..."
She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, but Shen Qingyao already understood what her unfinished words meant—they were very likely to all perish here!
Shen Qingyao took a deep breath, mustered her spirits, and looked at Ruan Hongshuang expectantly, asking:
"Senior Sister, if you're the only one left, what are the chances of escaping alive from here?"
A faint glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes; after all, in such a desperate situation, even the slightest chance of survival was better than nothing.
Ruan Hongshuang was well aware of the deeper meaning behind Shen Qingyao's words. She slowly shook her head, a solemn expression on her face, her delicate brows furrowed, and her eyes filled with deep helplessness and sorrow.
"Junior sister, I am now exhausted. I cannot get out on my own."
Upon hearing Ruan Hongshuang's words, Shen Qingyao's eyes were filled with disappointment.
It seems they are truly going to lose their lives here this time!
Because Shen Qingyao and her group were rescued by Long Jiaojiao, Miss Wang was furious upon seeing this.
The yin energy emanating from her body was like a wild horse, rampaging and flying everywhere, but because she was wary of Long Jiaojiao beside her, she ultimately dared not get too close to Shen Qingyao and the others.
All that could be heard from afar was Miss Wang's furious roar:
"Dragon, how dare you help these humans who have trespassed into this place?"
As the words were spoken, the dense yin energy became increasingly restless, drifting aimlessly in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Long Jiaojiao's childish voice rang out:
"Sister Wang, please don't be angry with me! I couldn't bear to see my mother so sad and upset, so I decided to help her. I hope you can understand how I feel!"
Having said that, Long Jiaojiao's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, she reappeared like a ghost in front of Miss Wang in the attic.
And so, the two, one large and one small, one ghost and one dragon, stood face to face, as if they were whispering about some important matters.
Meanwhile, Ruan Hongshuang kept staring at Shen Qingyao, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Several times, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she swallowed those words back down.
After repeating this several times, Shen Qingyao finally noticed Ruan Hongshuang's unusual behavior and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Senior Sister, just say what you want to say. We're all probably going to lose our lives here now, what can't we say?"
