616: Show affection

She could feel that because she had activated her Dragoness form, the Dragon Qi was stimulating the toxins, which were now becoming uncontrollable.

Fighting, she probably couldn't continue fighting, but looking at the equally exhausted Chen Xuan, her heart was filled with guilt and unwillingness. "Chen Xuan, Auntie has implicated you..." she said weakly, her voice barely audible.

Chen Xuan gripped his longsword tightly, blocking in front of Long Qingwan, and said, panting, "Auntie, don't say such things! We will definitely make it through!"

"Don't...don't call me Auntie anymore? I already..." Long Qingwan shivered again.

"Alright, Auntie, you go rest aside first, I'll cover your retreat!" Chen Xuan said, then advanced with his sword.

Long Qingwan looked at Chen Xuan, who was desperately fending off the Demonic Beast, her heart full of shame.

She felt like a burden at this moment, unable to help, and even putting Chen Xuan in danger.

As soon as this thought of her being useless appeared, the toxins in her body found an opportunity and invaded wildly again.

Long Qingwan's vision went black, and she almost fainted directly. She struggled to hold on with her remaining consciousness, but her body trembled uncontrollably, her legs went soft, and she could barely stand steady.

"Auntie Qingwan!" Chen Xuan, catching a glimpse of Long Qingwan's abnormality from the corner of his eye, was frantic. He dodged the Demonic Beast's attack with a side step and quickly moved closer to her.

Just then, the Demonic Dragon Beast seized the brief gap that appeared between the two of them and suddenly spewed out a large sheet of Dragon Flame, completely sealing off their retreat. The scorching Dragon Flame, carrying rolling heat waves, rushed towards them, and the air was filled with a burning smell.

Long Qingwan struggled to raise her head, but found that she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand to block.

The toxins had already eroded most of her Meridians, and her Immortal Power was rapidly dissipating. She watched Chen Xuan repeatedly fall into danger to protect her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Chen Xuan, don't mind me..." Long Qingwan's voice was faint and her breath was weak. "I'm the one who harmed you; you find a way to leave yourself."

How could Chen Xuan listen to her? While swinging his longsword to block the flames, he shouted, "Auntie, don't say silly things! We came in together, and we will definitely go out together!"

However, the Dragon Flame was getting closer and closer, and the roar of the Demonic Dragon Beast grew even more deafening.

Chen Xuan deliberately pretended that his physical strength was rapidly depleting.

Facing such a powerful enemy, he gradually felt powerless. But as long as he thought of the weak Long Qingwan behind him, he gritted his teeth and stubbornly held on, refusing to fall.

This scene of him forcing himself to stand firm for her was deeply etched into Long Qingwan's mind.

"Chen Xuan..."

"Ding, Long Qingwan's favorability +30!"

"Auntie, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will ensure your safety, rest assured!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he directly embraced Long Qingwan tightly, their bodies pressing closely together.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Feeling Chen Xuan's strong heartbeat, Long Qingwan's gaze gradually became dazed.

After all, she was currently poisoned by a strange toxin, and Chen Xuan's masculine aura was like a truly potent poison to her.

"Ding, Long Qingwan's favorability +10!"

Demonic Dragon Beast: "..."

The next moment, Long Qingwan forcibly roused herself, and the power within her surged again, and this time, it was even stronger than before.

Her Dragon Qi would indeed stimulate the poison, but this poison only affected her consciousness and would not worsen her physical functions. So, at this moment, Long Qingwan still had combat power before completely losing consciousness.

She didn't have time to think carefully and, relying on instinct, released this power towards the Demonic Dragon Beast. In an instant, a dazzling light shot out from Long Qingwan's palm, directly striking the Demonic Dragon Beast.

The Demonic Dragon Beast seemed to sense the threat of this power, and its previously frantic attack rhythm paused briefly.

Chen Xuan noticed this change, immediately gripped his longsword, and in response to the power released by Long Qingwan, launched another attack towards the Demonic Dragon Beast. Under their combined efforts, the Demonic Dragon Beast gradually fell into a disadvantage, and wounds began to appear on its body.

"Chen Xuan, make a quick decision; the effect of this move on it will disappear quickly!"

"Good!"

During the battle, Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan exchanged glances, and in that instant, the worry and concern in each other's eyes were fully revealed.

Long Qingwan looked at the dust and blood on Chen Xuan's face, her heart filled with tenderness. She gently wiped it for him, and Chen Xuan, in turn, held her hand, looking at the Dragon scales on her arm, and gently squeezed them, silently conveying strength and comfort.

"Ding, Long Qingwan's favorability +10!"

Demonic Dragon Beast: "..."

As the battle continued, the Demonic Dragon Beast completely broke free from Long Qingwan's restraint. It seemed to have been provoked by the two of them, and its attacks became even more frenzied, as if it wanted to end the battle quickly!

But Long Qingwan no longer cared at this moment; she was completely unable to think. She only knew that her reliance on Chen Xuan was growing stronger.

Every time danger arrived, Chen Xuan always unhesitatingly stood in front of her, which truly touched her.

And Chen Xuan, with the support of Long Qingwan's power, fought even more bravely, almost killing the Demonic Dragon Beast several times!

Their cooperation became more and more tacit, as if they had a telepathic connection.

Demonic Dragon Beast: "..."

When the Demonic Dragon Beast finally let out an unwilling roar and was killed by the two of them, collapsing to the ground, Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan were both exhausted.

They supported each other and slowly sat on the ground. Long Qingwan leaned against Chen Xuan's shoulder, feeling his warm body temperature, her heart filled with sweetness and peace of mind.

"Chen Xuan, thank you." Long Qingwan said softly, her voice carrying a hint of shyness.

Chen Xuan turned his head and looked at Long Qingwan, his eyes full of tenderness: "Auntie, we promised to go out together. No matter what we encounter in the future, I will never let you get hurt again."

"Ding, Long Qingwan's favorability +10!"

Long Qingwan nodded slightly, her cheeks flushed. She suddenly realized that her feelings for Chen Xuan had already transformed into a more complex, profound emotion.

And Chen Xuan, looking at Long Qingwan's shy appearance, also felt ripples in his heart. He knew that this delicious Dragoness feast was about to enter his stomach.

Just as Chen Xuan reached out to embrace Long Qingwan, and Long Qingwan, due to the toxins in her body, unconsciously reached out and placed her hand on Chen Xuan's chest, a low and deafening Dragon roar came from afar.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, becoming distorted. Their expressions instantly changed drastically, and they looked directly in the direction of the sound.

They saw an even larger Dragon-shaped creature slowly emerging from the darkness. Its entire body emitted a ghostly blue light, and its scales shimmered with a cold gleam, each one as large as a shield.

Its eyes were like two burning ghostly fires, filled with endless majesty and pressure.

Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan exchanged glances, each seeing determination in the other's eyes.

They struggled to stand up again, despite their fatigue. Chen Xuan gripped his longsword, while Long Qingwan gathered the remaining power within her body.
