Chapter 138 The elusive one
Upon hearing Princess Hengyang's words, Shen Qingyao instantly realized that the princess had already seen through what had happened between her and Si Jingnian.
For some reason, an indescribable emotion quietly welled up from the bottom of my heart, and gradually, it turned into a faint, secret pleasure.
Hmph, trying to compete with Shen Qingyao for a man? Even if the other party is a princess, so what? She will never tolerate or indulge her in the slightest!
Especially since she was just a princess who had passed away thousands of years ago and had long been eliminated by the times, she didn't need to give her any face at all.
So, Shen Qingyao straightened her back, a slight upturn of her lips, and responded with a hint of provocation:
“Princess Hengyang, why are you so agitated? Si Jingnian and I are husband and wife. It is perfectly normal for husband and wife to consummate their marriage, isn’t it? So please don’t get angry and lose your composure, otherwise it might damage your noble dignity as a princess.”
As she said this, Shen Qingyao's face was full of smugness, looking exactly like a petty person who had achieved their goal.
Si Jingnian, standing to the side, took in all of this, his gaze towards Shen Qingyao filled with endless doting and a touch of helplessness.
He thought to himself: His wife is truly adorable. It's just a pity that the time is not right yet. Otherwise, he would love to hold her tightly in his arms and be very affectionate with her right now.
Princess Hengyang stared intently at Si Jingnian, noticing that his gaze never left Shen Qingyao for a moment, his infatuated expression making him seem like a worthless lecher.
In an instant, Princess Hengyang's anger erupted like a volcano, and even the Yin energy she had painstakingly cultivated to suppress could no longer be controlled, slowly leaking out of her body in wisps and strands.
"You two are courting death!"
With a furious shout, an extremely dense yin energy began to seep from Princess Hengyang's face. This yin energy quickly gathered together, like a black veil completely covering her originally beautiful and charming face, giving people only a sinister and terrifying aura.
However, at that moment, another voice, both childlike and firm, suddenly rang out:
"As long as I'm here, I absolutely won't let you hurt a single hair on my mother's head! But as for other unrelated people, hehehe... well, they have nothing to do with me!"
Just then, a childish shout suddenly broke the silence.
Immediately afterwards, a petite, charming, and adorable figure slowly appeared not far from Princess Hengyang.
That figure was like a dazzling pearl, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Long Jiaojiao's delicate face was tense, her expression unusually serious as she stared straight at Princess Hengyang, showing no intention of backing down.
Her bright, star-like eyes shone with a resolute light, as if declaring her stance to Princess Hengyang.
At the same time, Princess Hengyang's gaze also shifted to Long Jiaojiao.
In an instant, her eyes flashed with endless coldness and murderous intent, as if she wanted to completely devour the small figure in front of her.
"Dragon, do you know what you are doing? How dare you openly protect a lowly human! Don't forget, you are my guardian beast, and you should be loyal to me and obey my every word! Yet now, you dare to betray me, a crime that is unforgivable!"
Princess Hengyang glared angrily and shouted sternly. Her extreme rage caused the aura emanating from her to intensify, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.
Faced with Princess Hengyang's questioning and rebuke, Long Jiaojiao was not afraid at all.
She blinked her big, watery eyes, pouted her little mouth, and looked defiant.
There were even faint glimmers of tears in her eyes, making her look both aggrieved and resentful.
"Hmph! I didn't stay here willingly to become your guardian beast! You forcibly captured me and imprisoned me here. How can you expect my loyalty after such an act? I'm clearly fighting back for my freedom!"
Long Jiaojiao retorted righteously, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying an undeniable firmness.
Shen Qingyao stared intently at Long Jiaojiao, and in her beautiful and lively eyes, there was a faint glimmer of tears, as if they were about to spill over at any moment.
At the same time, Long Jiaojiao's resentful and unwilling words struck Shen Qingyao's heart like a heavy hammer, making her feel a pang of tenderness.
Before this, Shen Qingyao had always mistakenly believed that Long Jiaojiao was born in this mysterious and ancient tomb. However, upon learning the truth, she was shocked.
It turns out that this seemingly powerful and free dragon was actually captured by evil people and forced to be imprisoned here.
It is truly unimaginable that in this dark and isolated environment, Long Jiaojiao spent over a thousand years alone.
Every minute and every second was an endless torment and agony for her.
Moreover, as far as Shen Qingyao knew, Long Jiaojiao was playful and active by nature, and was full of endless curiosity and longing for the outside world.
But fate is cruel, trapping this lively dragon in this small, dark world for a thousand years.
If they hadn't stumbled into this place by accident, perhaps Long Jiaojiao would have never had a chance to escape and would have been trapped in that painful pit forever.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyao's gaze towards Long Jiaojiao softened and became filled with pity.
Seemingly sensing Shen Qingyao's burning gaze, Long Jiaojiao turned her head slightly and met her concerned eyes without flinching.
In that instant, their eyes met, and it was as if time itself had frozen.
Long Jiaojiao keenly sensed the deep tenderness and affection Shen Qingyao felt for her deep in her eyes. At that moment, she felt a sudden warmth in her heart, and a strange, warm feeling flowed gently through her long-cold heart like a babbling brook.
"Mother!"
Long Jiaojiao couldn't help but call out softly, her voice clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley.
In that instant, Shen Qingyao suddenly felt as if a small mountain had been placed on her chest, a heavy weight suddenly pressing down on her.
She looked closely and saw that a round, chubby little creature had appeared in her arms at some point, clinging tightly to her neck like a koala and refusing to let go.
Long Jiaojiao's chubby little hands were wrapped tightly around Shen Qingyao's neck like iron clamps.
Her rosy and adorable face was flushed red, like a ripe apple, and she was also beaming with a sweet and charming smile.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyao subconsciously reached out her hands and carefully supported Long Jiaojiao's round, plump, and soft little bottom, afraid that she might accidentally drop the little guy.
