I Don't Care About Any Three Million People, I Only Want You [Internship Mission Finale!]

Xiao Ran struggled to move forward in the folded, wrinkled alleyway.

An unknown, fishy smell and an incredibly sticky, viscous substance twisted, wriggled, and squeezed Xiao Ran's body.

Xiao Ran's Resonance Power is most afraid of this kind of clingy person.

He was almost strangled by the strange National Teacher before.

Now I'm entangled with this woman, who I don't know if she's human or dragon.

Xiao Ran could break open the spatial barrier, but the viscous space quickly returned to its original state, requiring a great deal of effort to break it open again.

Xiao Ran tried his best to perceive the spatial structure, traversing the distorted space in a relatively smooth manner.

Finally!

He saw his Master!

In a fuzzy cave formed by the folding and twisting of space, Lingzhou Yue lay on her side on the stone tablet.

The tight-fitting blue protective robe had been dissolved into mere remnants by the slime, yet his entire body was illuminated by the white light emanating from the inscription.

One by one, complex characters were imprinted on her smooth, jade-like body.

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Ran saw a touch of divinity in his Master.

Compared to those young palace maid who are practically living in luxury, Xiao Ran was nowhere near as impressive! Xiao Ran quickly cleaned the clothes off his Master and draped her with his own spare clothes.

Only then did he prepare to wake her, lest they be embarrassed to meet naked.

He rested his palm on his forehead, with a slight tremor.

"Master, wake up!"

Lingzhou Yue woke up groggily and saw Xiao Ran's face. Then she looked at herself wearing Xiao Ran's clothes and felt both angry and warm inside.

"If you had arrived any later, your master would have been melted by the Great Darkness and entered the Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Xiao Ran explained, "It wasn't Da Ming. We and Da Ming were swallowed by a giant dragon. If I'm not mistaken, we're already in the abyss."

"A dragon?"

Lingzhou Yue and suddenly realized.

"You mean that woman?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

"Yes, that night, when the young palace maid was drinking with me, she put ambergris in the wine. It seems to be from the same source as the slime here, and has a similar taste. This dragon should be the real Black Zither and the young palace maid."

"A female dragon? That woman is disgusting!"

Lingzhou Yue straightened her clothes, put on Xiao Ran and wide blue robe, and her dashing temperament instantly returned.

No, she turned to stare at Xiao Ran.

"Oh, so you actually drank ambergris, you're disgusting... Don't touch me again."

No, I can touch you without drinking ambergris? Is this "touching" you're talking about legitimate?

Xiao Ran shook his head.

"I can still withstand the effects of the ambergris."

Lingzhou Yue suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to drink, but she had already finished her drink. So she leaned on Xiao Ran's shoulder and said weakly.

"I never imagined that I, your teacher, who came to protect you, would become a burden to you. You're something else..."

Xiao Ran only said:

"Without my Master, I wouldn't be able to find the stone tablet."

Lingzhou Yue said:

"We almost forgot about the stone tablet, we're rich!"

Xiao Ran carefully examined the stone tablet, setting aside the awe-inspiring sense of enlightenment it evoked.

It was discovered that this stone tablet was responding to the chanting of millions of people in Flamefree City, Resonance and connecting with millions of souls.

This hastened the downfall of the Great Underworld...

Xiao Ran could no longer even sense the will of the Great Underworld.

If the Great Nether continues to decline and allows the dragon to merge with the Netherworld body, Flamefree City will be in danger.

Although, for the dragon, once the Great Netherworld's soul is melted, Flamefree City will have no further use, it might keep its promise and spare the lives of the people of Flamefree City.

But Xiao Ran could not place his hopes on the enemy's mercy and trustworthiness.

This woman is incredibly cunning; she might very well use the lives of three million people to blackmail Xiao Ran for the sake of the stone tablet.

Xiao Ran bent down, placed his hand on the surface of the inscription, and sensed the souls of the millions of people in Flamefree City.

Steadfast devotion.

Pure and immaculate.

Embrace the universe.

There's nothing wrong with Everlasting Spring Art itself.

The problem is that he absorbed the first level of the Everlasting Spring Art from the Wraith Fog, which Resonance with and connected with the soul of the Great Netherworld through the stone tablet. The connection was further strengthened by the inscription on the tablet, which severely corrupted the Great Netherworld's will.

Xiao Ran's idea was to temporarily awaken Da Ming, use the Resonance Power to stimulate Da Ming's will and stomach, restore his senses and make him vomit out of Flamefree City, so that Da Ming could fight the giant dragon.

This is risky.

He might not be able to handle it on his own.

Even a million practitioners of the Everlasting Spring Art in Flamefree City might not be able to withstand it; a delicate balance needs to be struck, and there might be some casualties.

Xiao Ran had no other choice.

Master had already withered, carrying an empty wine jug, leaning limply against him.

His own Spiritual Power was also being constantly depleted.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Ran took out the Blood Burst Pill that his Martial Aunt Yinyue, had given him.

As if sensing danger, Lingzhou Yue sprang up with a start and forcefully took away Xiao Ran's Blood Burst Pill.

"Don't eat this! I'll unleash the Tidal Power to pierce the dragon's body!"

The Tidal Power can even pierce through a dragon's body? Is Master that strong?! Xiao Ran shook his head and sighed.

"Master's power needs to be reserved to save the three million people of Flamefree City."

"You idiot! "Lingzhou Yue angrily raised her foot and kicked Xiao Ran in the butt.

As a result, her kick was weak and powerless, and Xiao Ran turned around, grabbed her thigh, and lifted her onto his back.

She was already exhausted and could no longer resist. She clung to Xiao Ran's back, even letting go of the Blood Burst Pill she had been clutching, which fell to the ground. She could only mumble weakly, "..."

"Fool, I don't care about three million subjects, I just want you..."

Why does the atmosphere feel a bit like a life-or-death separation?

Xiao Ran was somewhat moved. He coughed twice, then turned around and, taking advantage of his master's predicament, patted his Master's head and comforted him, "I won't die."

Lingzhou Yue never imagined that one day a man would touch her head. She was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but she didn't have the strength. So she simply enjoyed it and found it somewhat comfortable.

"Dare to touch your teacher's head? Get ready to kneel on a washboard when you get back..."

Why should you kneel on a washboard?

Xiao Ran smiled and picked up the Blood Burst Pill that his Master had dropped on the ground.

"Let's go back and talk about it first."

With Life-Saving Blood Pack as a backup, Xiao Ran was fearless.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed the Blood Burst Pill! The Blood Burst Pill melted instantly upon entering the stomach and boiled upon entering the blood, its medicinal power rushing straight to the Dantian and seeping into the Pill Wall.

A colossal wave instantly surged within the Qi Sea, as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated.

Bang! A mushroom cloud rose up and shot straight towards the Pill Wall.

If it weren't for the protective barrier of the Flood Dragon Pill, the Pill Wall would have been shattered.

Xiao Ran's eyes froze for a moment.

His eyes were bloodshot, like bulging veins.

Lingzhou Yue was in a daze, feeling that Xiao Ran's whole body was burning hot, as if she were lying on lava, and had a feeling that she was about to be splattered with lava at any moment.

Taking advantage of the effects of the medicine, Xiao Ran pressed his hot, steaming palms onto the surface of the monument.

Driven by a surge of Spiritual Power, the souls Resonance, forcibly connecting the Great Underworld with millions of practitioners of the Everlasting Spring Art.

Suppressing the chilling chant, he transmitted a thought to Da Ming—

"Wake up! You're about to be devoured by a dragon! These mortals are poisonous, spit them out..."

After he finished speaking, his palm trembled.

"Shock!"

A vast and surging wave of soul energy, passing through the stone tablet, spread out instantly like lightning, reaching the souls of the Great Underworld and the millions of city dwellers.

This tremor.

All soul connections were severed!

Flamefree City.

Suddenly, a million practitioners of the Everlasting Spring Art experienced a buzzing in their minds and their vision went white.

Their bodies were like electronic puppets that had lost power, or like a cornfield swept by a storm, all collapsing to the ground in unison.

A moment later.

A mournful cry, seemingly traversing infinite time and space, resounded throughout the underworld.

Under the dual stimulation of Xiao Ran's soul and stomach, Da Ming suddenly regained consciousness.

Instinctively compressing the space in his stomach, he coughed violently and vomited out Flamefree City!

Flamefree City was spat out of the Great Underworld's mouth.

Because it was enveloped by the twisted outer wall of the underworld, which was extremely slippery in space, it flew directly out of the dragon's mouth.

Because it was located in a stable, independent stomach space, Flamefree City was relatively stable, except that the Wraith Fog was gradually dissipating...

Xiao Ran, carrying Lingzhou Yue on his back in the Wraith Barrier Space, experienced another dizzying sensation.

This caused his Master to turn around and into his arms from behind.

Thanks to the sturdiness and flexibility of the Flood Dragon Pill, Xiao Ran not only did not die, but also maintained extremely strong Spiritual Power.

Divine senses pierced through the Wraith Barrier, passing through the pitch-black abyss filled with blood mist...

He saw a gigantic dragon body disappear into the blood mist in the distance.

The jet-black dragon scales shimmered with eerie patterns.

The dragon was vast and mighty, stretching for thousands of miles.

However, Xiao Ran measured its width, he found that the dragon's body was still much smaller than the width of Flamefree City.

He guessed that after the dragon devoured the Great Netherworld of Flamefree City, it was stuck in the neck by the enormous city space and couldn't swallow it for a while.

Now, with Flamefree City expelled, the giant dragon swallowed Da Ming into its stomach, and no matter how much it struggled and remained conscious, it quickly dissolved into nothingness.

It is clear that the dragon was under great pressure when it tried to swallow the Great Netherworld!

This may be why the dragon, knowing that the stone tablet was in Xiao Ran's hands, did not cause him any Xiao Ran trouble.

The soul aspect was slightly interrupted due to the broken link to the inscription, but the Great Underworld's physical body was completely under his control.

It can be said that the dragon has already achieved 80% success!

The dragon's body sped away, its tail flicked, and it swiftly disappeared into the vast blood mist, stirring up towering waves of fog.

Flamefree City hangs in the abyss, drifting with the waves of mist.

It was surrounded by a thin layer of spatial walls, which was the stomach acid and mucus of the Great Underworld, and it couldn't last long in the abyss.

Fortunately, a wave of mist whipped out by the dragon's tail enveloped Flamefree City, slightly slowing down the dissipation of the Wraith Fog and the melting of the spatial barrier.

"Is this woman trying to repay a favor to me?" Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Now.

The spatial barrier relaxed, and Xiao Ran and his Master floated in mid-air.

The outer wall is constantly being eroded by the darkness in the abyss. Even if the dragon mist delays it for a moment, it will dissipate completely within a quarter of an hour.

At that time, it will be hell for Flamefree City.

Xiao Ran hurriedly woke up his Master.

"Master, it's your turn!"

Lingzhou Yue woke up groggily and saw that she was surrounded by dark blood mist. She realized that she was in the abyss, which inexplicably reminded her of many past battles.

What do you want me to do?

Xiao Ran already had a complete plan.

"We are now in the abyss. I will help you locate the position of the Imperial City in the human world. You can Tidal Power to forcibly pull Flamefree City back to the human world."

Lingzhou Yue glanced at him with a wistful look.

"I will die."

"So it didn't work after all..."

Xiao Ran sighed, then lay down, suspended in mid-air, needing a moment to rest.

Lingzhou Yue wasn't really in a problem, but she deliberately tested Xiao Ran, saying, "If it were just about pulling the two of us back, it would be easy; or you could easily bring along a few people you want in the city, but the entire city has three million people, and this is the Abyss. I can only Spirit Severing for my Cultivation Level..."

Xiao Ran rose from his cross-legged position. He would not impose his own moral standards on his Master, and simply said:

"Whether it's helping Master conceal the truth or enduring the world's scorn, I will stand by Master no matter what."

What a disaster! Lingzhou Yue shook her head, tilted her head back and chugged the wine, only to find that the wine was all gone.

Amidst a sky full of stars and a blood mist, he sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, eyes closed, his long hair flowing freely.

A flash of sword light appeared in his eyes, piercing through the boundless darkness...

Xiao Ran felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows and looked up.

The abyss has split open.

In the mortal realm, near the Imperial City.

The heavy rain has stopped.

In the night sky, five enormous torches were lit again, illuminating the darkness.

The Dao Alliance Headquarters also detected the Spiritual Power fluctuations and spatial anomalies caused by the giant dragon. The high-ranking officials of the Wraith Punishment Bureau rushed to the Blazing Fire Kingdom via the teleportation array in East Floating City.

The giant pit in the Imperial City.

The hundreds of people who were knocked back by the sword energy surrounded the cave where the dragon had disappeared.

There was only one giant crater here, filled with black mist.

Ouyang Cheng carried Li Wuxie out.

Turning around to look at the vanished Flamefree City and its three million inhabitants, he felt utterly powerless, overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.

Huangfu Qun stood there blankly at the bottom of the pit, recalling the past events and unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Zongzhi Mountain had been silent for many years, and the hope of his resurgence that he had finally seen was shattered before his eyes...

Sudden!

The abyss gate at the bottom of the pit was suddenly broken open.

The solid ground seemed to have been pushed up by a vast, boundless tide.

Huangfu Qun was stunned for a moment, and then he appeared on the main street of Flamefree City.

A light mist hung in the air, and the streets were filled with people collapsed on the ground...

Flamefree City! Everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked up at the night sky where the Clear Mist had dissipated.

Holding Lingzhou Yue in his arms, Xiao Ran rode a bamboo raft and flew swiftly towards Zongzhi Mountain.

The flickering firelight captured the broad silhouette...
