After hearing Ling Wu Qing's confirmation that Long Yejun had matched up against her and lost, Yuan tightly clenched his fists.
Long Wu Qing paid attention to every little detail and asked, "Are you angry at me for killing him?"
Yuan closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath before responding calmly, "No, I am not."
"Oh?" Long Wu Qing looked genuinely surprised by his answer.
She knew humans were emotional beings who are often led astray by their emotions, causing them to do unreasonable things.
"My, my. You're surprisingly calm. Totally not what I expected."
Yuan raised an eyebrow and responded, "Were you expecting me to lash out at you for doing something I would've done myself if I had been matched with him?"
He had prepared to kill Long Yejun if they fought, after all. It would be unreasonable for him to be angry at Long Wu Qing for doing what she has to do.
Everyone who participated in the Dragon God Festival accepted and agreed to such a risk before they grabbed the token so they couldn't complain about being killed.
"I like you even more now. But that doesn't mean I will go easy on you later," Long Wu Qing said with a smile.
Yuan smiled back and said, "I may not blame you, but I am still going to vent my anger on you, so I apologize in advance."
"I thought you weren't angry?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Not at you, specifically. Just in general," he clarified.
"But you're going to take it out on me?" Long Wu Qing chuckled.
"If anyone could deal with my anger, it'd be you."
"I guess that's fine since it'll make things more entertaining," she nodded with an understanding expression.
After a few more days, Long Meihui defeated her opponent and returned to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary. When she first heard the news of Long Yejun's death, she didn't believe it. However, after she found Long Wu Qing and confirmed Long Yejun's death, Long Meihui broke down in tears.
"Waaaaah! This is why I didn't want to participate! Why would the Dragon God do this—let his own descendants die?!" she cried out loud.
"Stop exaggerating. It's not like he's gone forever." Long Wu Qing shook her head.
"As a matter of fact, this isn't his first time dying," she suddenly revealed.
"I know that, but it could potentially be millions of years before I see him again!"
"What's a few million years to beings like us?" Long Wu Qing sighed.
"That's not the point!" Long Meihui screamed.
"Huh? Who the hell do you think you are raising your voice at?" Long Wu Qing glared at her with narrowed eyes.
"S-sorry…" Long Meihui immediately shrunk her body, looking like a timid rabbit.
"Hmph." Long Wu Qing sneered.
Long Meihui withdrew to Yuan's side and asked him, "Are you okay?"
Yuan couldn't help but admire her carefree nature. It was as if nothing in this world could truly bother her. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
