I Beg You to Stay

Wuyue Qing moved too fast; Sang Ying and the others didn't even have time to react before she threw the thunderbolt at them.

If Sang Ying hadn't noticed something was wrong with her, quickly throwing two defensive array plates at Jiang Zhuoxue and the Spring-Heralding Bird before delivering a powerful palm strike.

The immense Spiritual Qi directly activated the array plate, forming a defensive formation. The transparent shield enveloped the person and the bird, and then the lightning bolt struck the rocks, producing a deafening sound.

By the time Jiang Zhuoxue tried to turn around and grab Sang Ying, he and the Spring-Heralding Bird had already been swept away by the powerful shockwave. He was powerless against the terrifying force of the collision of Spiritual Qi and could only watch helplessly as Sang Ying's figure disappeared into the dust.

Jiang Zhuoxue tried desperately to break through the barrier in front of him, but how could this wounded young dragon possibly do it?

The already unhealed finger was struck again, leaving a clear fingerprint on the transparent barrier.

He called out Sang Ying's name loudly, but the transparent barrier gave him no chance to make his voice heard. He could only scream desperately and helplessly, hoping to see Sang Ying return safely.

The shockwave propelled them a great distance because Sang Ying's palm strike was so powerful that the barrier shattered immediately upon their landing.

Jiang Zhuoxue didn't dare to delay and immediately struggled to crawl out of the broken array plate.

He fought back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes and ran towards the place shrouded in smoke and dust.

Perhaps due to excessive excitement and panic, Jiang Zhuoxue had completely forgotten his identity Dragon Race, and even his ability to use Technique Method. He simply ran headlong toward Sang Ying.

He was going too fast, and the road wasn't smooth enough.

Jiang Zhuoxue tripped and fell countless times, his legs and hands, now unprotected by his scales, were chafed raw countless times. But the dust that had swallowed Sang Ying remained forever distant from him.

He was panting heavily as he watched the cave gradually quiet down. The smoke and dust that had filled the air had slowly dissipated, revealing the destroyed cave entrance. The various shapes of rubble scattered on the ground had piled up into a small hill, completely destroying the previous scenery.

After falling again, Jiang Zhuoxue looked at the motionless pile of rubble in front of her and felt a sense of despair.

But he still forced himself to get up. Even if that person was dead, he was determined to snatch him back from the underworld!

When he finally managed to get up again, he hadn't taken two steps when a heavy force suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Jiang Zhuoxue's vision blurred for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he found himself flying in mid-air.

"Cry!" The call of the Spring-Heralding Bird rang out overhead. Jiang Zhuoxue looked up and could only see its beautiful pale blue belly feathers.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Zhuoxue's gaze, the Spring-Heralding Bird lowered its head and chirped again at him, Douzi tiny eyes revealing a clear hint of disdain.

It probably thought this Human Race was too foolish, forgetting that he was a cultivator and insisting on running there on foot.

Sensing the disdain, Jiang Zhuoxue didn't say anything more. He no longer cared about such things; as long as Sang Ying was alright, he didn't care about anything else.

The Spring-Heralding Bird were very fast; in the blink of an eye, they were back at the entrance of the cave.

Jiang Zhuoxue quickly told the Spring-Heralding Bird to release her, then lunged at the small pile of stones, frantically moving aside the rubble in an attempt to rescue the person buried underneath.

He still remembered Sang Ying's location when the incident happened. If all went well, he was sure he could find her before Sang Ying suffocated to death.

As Jiang Zhuoxue thought this, she murmured in panic, "Don't die, please don't die. I know I was wrong, I will obey you, I won't seek revenge, and I won't pretend to resist you anymore."

His fingers were quickly worn raw and bleeding, and the precious dragon blood was so easily spilled onto the gravel.

The Spring-Heralding Bird was drawn to the scent of the blood, but for the first time, it unleashed a powerful control over itself, completely unaffected by the dragon blood. Instead, it mimicked Jiang Zhuoxue's actions, carefully using wind blades to shatter the largest rock at the top.

"It's okay if you leave, it's okay if you lock me up here. As long as you come back, I will definitely listen to you from now on and I will never make you angry again..." Jiang Zhuoxue's voice grew softer and softer, and two transparent water droplets fell onto a piece of gravel beneath him.

As a member of the sinful Black Dragon Tribe, Jiang Zhuoxue knew from birth that the world was full of conspiracies, intrigues, and injustices.

Even his own parents would scheme against each other, and wouldn't show him any care just because he was their child. Why would outsiders give him anything for no reason?

Until he met Sang Ying, even though Jiang Zhuoxue still didn't believe that she was kind to him without any ulterior motives, he had reluctantly accepted his desire to treat Sang Ying as family.

But he never imagined that one day Sang Ying would risk her life to save him.

Why save him? He's just someone who's despised and hated by everyone, even his parents. Sang Ying has no reason to do this for her; he should have died in the Upper Realm long ago.

Jiang Zhuoxue closed his eyes, and his movements as he dug through the rubble became even more ferocious.

"Come back, please. If you come back safe and sound, I'll do whatever you say from now on." He said this almost desperately, hoping for a miracle.

Fortunately, miracles do exist in this world after all.

"Is everything you said true?" Sang Ying's voice suddenly reached Jiang Zhuoxue's ears.

Although it had a slightly somber tone, Jiang Zhuoxue recognized it clearly – it was Sang Ying's voice!

At that moment, he felt as if he had been redeemed. All his despair vanished. He looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw the cave blocked by rubble.

"Sang Ying, are you inside?" Jiang Zhuoxue asked with all her anticipation.

Fortunately, the voice inside answered him, "Yes, I'm here. You and the Spring-Heralding Bird should step back a bit."

How could Jiang Zhuoxue dare disobey Sang Ying now? As soon as Sang Ying spoke, he eagerly led the Spring-Heralding Bird away for several miles.

Once she was sure they were far enough away, Sang Ying, trapped inside the cave, began to act. Worried that her movements might cause the entire cave to collapse, she deliberately secured it with a thick layer of ice before taking any action.

That's why she was delayed for a while. She never expected to hear Jiang Zhuoxue's words when she returned to the cave entrance.

Sang Ying knew that Jiang Zhuoxue was an unlucky person, but she sincerely hoped that Jiang Zhuoxue's future would be luckier. It didn't have to be too good, just that she could live a peaceful and stable life.

With a single swing of his longsword, the rocks blocking the cave entrance were instantly shattered.

Amidst a cloud of smoke, Sang Ying emerged unharmed, a stark contrast to Jiang Zhuoxue, who looked utterly miserable and pitiful.
