Jiang Nuo appeared just then, standing in the middle of its enormous head, raising his butcher knife high, his eyes cold and his expression bloodthirsty.
"Roar--!"
As the butcher's knife slashed down, the demon roared in agony, and blackish-red blood gushed out like a volcanic spring.
Before it could retaliate, Jiang Nuo unleashed several more slashes, the blades incredibly sharp and imbued with spiritual mist that was absolutely lethal to demons.
Si Yan and Qi Cang exerted their power simultaneously, their boundless spiritual energy and magical power mingling together, forming a giant net reaching to the heavens.
When the demons were no match for them, they finally heard the dragon's roar.
Echoing across the endless sky, it was incredibly penetrating, like the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth, instilling fear and awe in the listener.
A golden dragon's phantom pierced through the clouds, finally bringing life to the town's gloomy atmosphere.
With the demon dead, the suppression of the Dragon Vein ceases to exist.
Jiang Nuo and the other three landed safely. Qi Cang looked down and touched his heart in surprise, "Why wasn't there any rejection?"
He had originally thought that the Dragon Vein would repel all dark magic.
Qi Lin chuckled softly, "Perhaps... because you are a good demon."
They stood there for a long time, but the golden dragon phantom showed no sign of leaving. It simply hovered in the clouds, as if waiting for someone to follow.
Si Yan was guided once again and silently followed.
At the same time, he also remembered the purpose of his participation in the mission.
The golden dragon guided him back to the Dark River region, to the prison where the townspeople were held in the Demon Game, which was now empty.
"What's going on here?" Jiang Nuo wondered, watching Si Yan enter the cage. "Could the exact location of the Dragon Vein be here?"
"Anger..." Qi Lin suddenly said, "I can feel the anger of humans here."
Their guesses were correct. Si Yan opened the mechanism, and the golden dragon phantom circled him twice before disappearing inside.
Jiang Nuo grabbed Si Yan's arm and gently advised him, "There's no need."
"No, Nuonuo."
Si Yan hugged him back, kissed his ear, and spoke in a deep, tender voice.
I want to love you without any worries.
He used a spell to open the entrance to the spiritual source.
A few souls were sent out, and under the protection of the Dragon Vein's phantom, they remained alive even after the so-called game was constantly "reset".
They're still alive!
Qi Lin was both surprised and delighted. "It's the Dragon Vein protecting the townspeople... But why has Si Yan disappeared?"
Jiang Nuo watched in a daze as the protected soul returned to the town, about to awaken, and suddenly understood why Number One was so determined to repair the Dragon Vein.
Hearing Qi Lin's voice, Jiang Nuo pursed her lips, took a few steps forward to stand guard beside him, and, facing Qi Lin and Qi Cang's questions, simply replied, " Si Yan... wants to return something to me."
Qi Lin and Qi Cang looked at each other, not understanding what they were saying.
But judging from the undisguised worry in Jiang Nuo's expression, it was clear that there was likely danger.
The golden dragon phantom did not resist Si Yan entering the spiritual source; in fact, it even showed a hint of intimacy.
Whatever the reason, Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat cross-legged in this void, attempting to separate the Love Soul belonging to Jiang Nuo from his body.
This process will inevitably be very slow and painful.
Jiang Nuo, who was outside, could vaguely sense that the man's expression was not good.
Qi Lin and Qi Cang sat next to Jiang Nuo, feeling that his face was getting paler and paler, and they became even more puzzled.
Outside the live broadcast, Si Mingde and the Grand Elder were also very nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.
Everyone was on tenterhooks.
Qi Lin lost count of how much time had passed, but he felt that Jiang Nuo was about to faint at any moment. Just as he was about to reach out to help her, Jiang Nuo disappeared.
His hand hovered in mid-air, his eyes wide open.
Where are they?
Qi Cang shook his head.
Qi Lin's face was tense. "Is there still danger?"
Staying here really makes you feel like you're on edge.
Qi Cang reached out and pulled him into her arms, patting him gently. "No, it won't happen."
Inside the Dragon Vein Spirit Source, Si Yan and Jiang Nuo, who had been summoned there, fell into a coma almost simultaneously.
The purest aura suppressed the saturated Spiritual Power within Si Yan's body, Love Soul gradually separated successfully, returning to Jiang Nuo's body.
The two awoke at the same time and returned to the outside of the Spirit Source.
"Oh, you're finally back!"
Qi Lin finally felt relieved and stood up from Qi Cang's embrace. "What... happened to you?"
Why are you acting like we're complete strangers?
Qi Lin muttered to himself.
Si Yan touched her heart and only lowered her hand after confirming that she felt no discomfort.
His gaze was indifferent, as if nothing could stir his emotions.
Jiang Nuo looked at Si Yan; it seemed that the return of Love Soul had no effect on him.
The two stared at each other for a long time. Jiang Nuo narrowed her eyes slightly. "What kind of look is that? Don't you recognize me?"
Hearing his voice, Si Yan's somewhat dazed consciousness gradually returned, only to hear Jiang Nuo's awkward voice the next second.
"If you don't know me, that's fine."
Jiang Nuo turned and left.
Startled Si Yan gasped for breath and quickly took a few steps to grab his hand. " Nuonuo, what are you saying? I'm not a..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Nuo pounced on him, Si Yan, after a couple of seconds of reaction, grinned from ear to ear and hugged her tightly.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Nuo asked him.
"No, Grandpa's method works very well."
Si Yan pressed her forehead against his and whispered, "Even without your Love Soul, I still love you."
Jiang Nuo hummed softly, cupped Si Yan's face and gave him a quick kiss, her eyes full of laughter.
Confused, Qi Lin and Qi Cang exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.
The four returned to the small town.
Everything has returned to its original state.
The scenery here is beautiful, with no church or bell tower, and no fountain in the square, just a simple yet lovely viewing platform.
The townspeople, whose souls had been resurrected, seemed to remember what had happened before, and walked back and forth in the streets, puzzled.
The town has regained its former vitality.
After the golden light faded, it really felt like I had returned from the game.
In a daze, Si Yan seemed to glimpse another world that Jiang Nuo had once visited, but she also understood that it would only be more dangerous in that world.
[Yay!! I thought the townspeople weren't coming back!! God Nuo is awesome! Everyone is awesome!]
Ahhhhh, it's goodbye again!! God Nuo and Si Jiaojiao, please keep up the good work!
[The movie will be released soon! Don't forget to check out our Si Jiaojiao and God Nuo's double movie!]

On the way back, Jiang Nuo nestled in Si Yan's arms to rest and asked 0732.
[Can you tell me why now?]
0732 hesitated for a moment.
[The game's dungeon world is overrun with monsters and has been corrupted by Dark Power, creating gaps and vulnerabilities in the world.]
[Rest assured, the task master has already begun repairs. The source of the Dark Power, An Yin, and its remaining monsters have been completely eliminated.]
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow in surprise, then closed her eyes and pretended to sleep without asking any more questions.
Si Yan held his lover in his arms, feeling that Nuonuo's Love Soul had become even more clingy to him since its return.
like.
He smiled, hugged the person, and kissed them.
