One generation, one promise

  "Uh, what did I just say?"

  Ruan Qincheng looked at the demon man pressing down on her, his face with a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile, and blinked her innocent eyes to ask.

  "Let me bite you!"

  Lan Mingxuan's lips curled up, his slender fingers gently stroking her lip edges. Such delicate and tempting lips made him unable to help himself!

  "Can I be lazy?"

  Ruan Qinchun's mouth twitched slightly as she saw him getting closer and closer, her small face flushing red with excitement.

  "No way!"

  Lan Mingxuan shook his head, a pair of bright eyes tightly locked onto her blushing face. Looking at her shy and embarrassed appearance, the tip of his heart couldn't help but ripple with waves.

  This little fox is most lovely when it's shy!

  In his eyes, Ya Tou was like a lovely little fox, sometimes baring her teeth and claws, sometimes quiet and nimble, making him love her dearly!

  "Girl, people value honesty and trustworthiness!"

  Lan Mingxuan gently brushed against her nose tip, and as she was about to protest, he directly sealed it with a kiss.

  Her breath was taken away in an instant, completely filled with the pure fragrance of sandalwood that he spat out. Her chest suddenly felt hot and burning, as if time had suddenly stood still!

  "Hmm—"

  Entwined tongues, icy softness, lingering and rolling.

  His lips were icy cool, without any extra warmth, feeling like snow falling on her lips, yet able to set her body ablaze like fire.

  Just as she felt herself suffocating, he finally released her lips.

  His fingers lightly sketched the outline of her red lips, bringing on waves of electricity. His low, husky voice echoed softly in her ear.

  "From now on, no one but me is allowed to touch this!"

  Ruan Qincheng listened to his almost overbearing words, and unexpectedly didn't feel angry in her heart, but instead felt a hint of sweetness.

  "Don't you think you're being too overbearing?"

  "If there's one thing that can't be replaced, it's my love for you! One life, one promise, only you. If love doesn't leave, feelings won't abandon."

  The moonlight is wandering, the night wind is like a song, intertwined and lingering.

  Lan Mingxuan's eyes fixed on her, his lips moved slightly, and his magnetic voice fell slowly. It was as if a stone had suddenly fallen into her heart lake, stirring up layer upon layer of ripples that were hard to calm down.

  Ruan Qincheng felt her mind go blank, all her thinking ability was stripped away in an instant. She stared at the beautiful water-like eyes, gazing fixedly at Lan Mingxuan, her trembling eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, lightly quivering.

  Although Lan Mingxuan's whole body was shrouded in a dark aura, it felt like warm sunshine to her, making her feel exceptionally at ease and warm.

  "One promise for a lifetime, only you alone. Love will never leave, feelings will never abandon."

  Ruan Qinchendan murmured his words, the corners of her lips slightly raised. What she wanted was someone who could hold hands with her until old age, go through thick and thin together, and cherish each other!

  "Girl, don't doubt my love for you. I'm telling you, in this lifetime, the only one I want is you. If you won't marry me, then I'll marry you! If that's not possible, then you can marry me!"

  Lan Mingxuan gently lifted her fallen black hair, filled with pity and indulgence. The moonlight was clear, I promise you a lifetime of happiness.

  "Alright, I'll let you know when I'm ready to marry you! You can start preparing your dowry for now!"

  Ruan Qincheng's absolutely beautiful face floated up a cute smile, stretched out her hand and gently patted Lan Mingxuan's shoulder, her tone was full of laughter.

  "Oh? What does she think I should prepare as dowry to marry into their family?"

  Lan Mingxuan suppressed the smile at the corner of his lips, innocently blinking those mesmerizing eyes that shone with a dazzling light.

  "I want nothing but these five continents and seven seas; so, dare you still refuse to marry me?"

  In Ruan Qinchun's eyes, a strong and unyielding spirit emerged. She had long understood that in this world, one is either trampled underfoot, enslaved by others, or stands atop the pinnacle, treading on corpses.

  Since she was born in a chaotic world, she must carve out her own sky!

  Who says women can't rule the world?

  She is about to use her slender hands to paint mountains and rivers. Three thousand blue silks, smiling and pulling the vast ocean.

  "Girl! You dare ask for it, I'll dare give it!"

  Lan Mingxuan's eyes sparkled with a radiant glow, his majestic and unparalleled voice filled with conviction. His broad palm tightly wrapped around her delicate wrist.

  He wants a woman who can stand with him at the pinnacle of life!

  "Alright, remember what you said!"

  Ruan Qincheng's hand rose with a small blue gourd-shaped jade pendant and placed it in the palm of his hand.

  In an instant, a burst of light radiated from the small gourd pendant, illuminating the entire bedroom.

  Lan Mingxuan gazed at the jade pendant in his hand, and a sweet sense of happiness welled up in his heart. This was something Ya Tou had given him!

  "Girl, I'll take this as a token of your affection then! Hehe!"

  Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew up, and a black figure appeared in the room. Through the thick veil, it could be seen that it was a woman. Her figure was slender and explosive, wearing a black tight-fitting jumpsuit, with a head of fiery red long hair, like flames burning in the wind.

  "Your Majesty, it's almost dawn. Blood Princess has come to remind you, don't miss the timing of the ceremony."

  "The Emperor knows, you go back first!"

  Lan Mingxuan's face was tinged with a hint of coldness, apparently he and Ya Tou's sweetness had been interrupted by someone, and he felt a few points of displeasure in his heart.

  "Yes, Your Majesty!"

  In the emerald green pupils of the Blood Princess, a mad jealousy flashed. The Demon Emperor actually left the Prison Realm at such an important juncture, if not for the festival starting soon, everyone would still be unable to find the Demon Emperor, how could she discover that the Demon Emperor had done something so irrational for a mere mortal.

  "Girl, I'm leaving, see you at the Academy of Heaven Concealing!"

  Lan Mingxuan reluctantly held her hand and left a gentle kiss on it.

  "Hmm! I'll be waiting for you at the Academy of Celestial Arts!"

  Ruan Qincheng nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face. Today's farewell was for tomorrow's reunion. No matter how far apart they were, they would eventually meet again.

  "Hey, kiddo, can I have this fragment?"

  Lan Mingxuan bent down, picked up the fragments of the Che Shenling, and grasped them in his hand. His complexion improved instantly. Feeling the power contained within, he confirmed that these were indeed fragments of the Che Shenling.

  "Is this broken thing helpful to you?"

  Ruan Qincheng saw his slightly pale face and suddenly regained some of his spirit, with a faint hint of joy flashing across his eyes.

  She felt he was seriously injured at first sight, but he didn't want her to worry, so she pretended not to know anything.

  Now, seeing this small piece of unknown origin, it has such a miraculous effect, her heart is happier than anyone else's. She didn't care about the value of this fragment, she only knew that to her, it was more important than anything else.

  Yes, he is the most beautiful scenery in her life.

  Silver moon lotus lake, under the pear blossom tree, a glance, he accompanied by the wind with the fragrance of incense, quietly took root in her heart.

  There is a kind of encounter called destined to be together.

  There is a kind of love called eternal devotion until death.

  "Ah, great help!"

  Lan Mingxuan's lips curled up in a somewhat helpless smile, the first time he heard that the coveted Strategem of the Gods was called a broken thing, probably only because Ya Tou didn't care about this sacred object at all. If Yun Qianye knew that Ya Tou had taken away the Strategem of the Gods, she would definitely vomit blood to death!

  "Then I'll give you away! After all, you're already mine! Giving you away won't be a loss!"

  Ruan Qinchun gently wrapped her arms around the poor, bedraggled lotus spirit that had crawled back from outside, a faint smile flickering across the bottom of her eyes.

  "Ah-ya indeed is as cunning as a fox!"

  Lan Mingxuan patted her head and said a sentence that was both praise and criticism.

  "Each other!"

  Ruan Qincheng nodded and then reached out to pull back Xue Jinglian, who was about to pounce on Lan Mingxuan to avenge her grievances. The two little things didn't know where they were thrown, both looking pitiful.

  The originally furious Xue Jing Luan saw that the person holding him was his dear mother, and quickly changed back to his adorable and invincible appearance, and went to beg for pampering.

  "Girl, you're really too modest!"

  Lan Mingxuan sighed and said, the smile at the corner of his lips grew more intense.

  "Really? I think so too! Humility has always been my greatest virtue, aren't you leaving? Are you planning to stay and sleep with me?"

  Ruan Qincheng leaned against the soft pillow, her slender jade hands gently pinching Lan Mingxuan's chin, a standard teasing pose.

  "You know all about it! Girl, you really understand me too well!"

  Lan Mingxuan leaned down, directly ignoring the two innocent little beasts, his palm supporting Ruan Qindeng's occipital bone, a fiery kiss, like a stormy rain, fell.

  "Hmm..."

  Ruan Qincheng felt that the taste between her lips was all his, and looking at his intoxicated appearance, she directly kicked him with a very impolite kick. This guy is simply making progress by taking advantage of every inch!

  "Hmm——"

  A heavy object fell to the ground with a loud thud, accompanied by clear laughter and the phoenix's clear cry, gradually fading away.

  Ruan Qincheng watched as Lan Mingxuan's figure disappeared from view, a faint smile flickering across the bottom of her eyes.

  Mingxuan, I'll wait for your return!

  Don't disappoint me!

  Get well soon!

  A sleepless night, the moonlight at the sky's end gradually faded away, and the dawn's morning light slowly opened up the dark colors of the night.

  The sky is still blue, and the morning dew is still elegant.

  In the warm dawn, her gaze fell on a bunch of white jasmine flowers on the desk, and her heart suddenly softened.

  A thousand mountains dance with snow, the moon sways with a gentle face.

  The pure white color, as if the most serene beauty in the world, is infused with infinite vitality by the spring light. The small and delicate flower buds, like jade crystal clear, like ice transparent, unfold layer by layer, revealing a gentle and pure appearance.

  She held a large bunch of jasmine flowers in her hands, smelling the faint and clear fragrance of jasmine in the air, as if she had smelled the taste of happiness.

  She glanced out the window at the sky, got up and changed her clothes, washed up, and walked out of the bedroom with a bouquet of jasmine flowers. Her warm gaze fell on Blue Junxiao, who was leaning against the door resting, the faint morning light casting a gentle glow on his clear face, outlining his sharp features.

  "Jun Sheng, let's go!"

  "Uh-huh! But why didn't your brother come out with you? Was he kicked out after being eaten clean?"

  Lan Jun Song rubbed his eyes and when he could see clearly that there was only Ruan Qindeng, he tilted his little head and asked.

  "That's right, he was kicked flying!"

  Ruan Qindeng nodded heavily and said, with a slight curve of his lips, which was stained with a beautiful temptation in the sunlight.

  "Wow! Sister, you're my idol! Finally someone dared to kick brother!"

  Lan Jun's amber eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly.

  "Then worship away! I permit it!"

  Ruan Qincheng couldn't help but glance at him with a hint of amusement, her tone laced with playful teasing. These two brothers were indeed not normal!

  If Lan Jun Song heard her idea, he would definitely add a sentence, actually you've never been normal!

  Late spring cherry blossoms fly, wearing a road of wind and dust, stepping towards a fragrant and lush season. The spring breeze blows green the two banks of the emerald water. Beautiful cherry flowers half unfold like red silk, ethereal as smoke, scattered and spread all over the ground.

  Soft sunlight filters through the clouds, casting a warm glow over mountains and rivers, dyeing everything in shades of purple and red.

  Two fine horses galloped through the morning light on the fallen flower path, leaving behind a flurry of petals kicked up by their hooves.

  "Drive—"

  "Tap tap tap——"

  The crisp sound of horseshoes, like the footsteps of years, deeply and shallowly disappearing in the singing of wind, flowers, and orioles.

  Swipe

  A figure caught up with the two divine steeds at an incredible speed, a speed that was as swift as lightning and made one involuntarily gasp in amazement at the person's incredible strength.

  "Alas!"

  Ruan Qincheng and Lan Junshang grasped the reins, turning their heads to look at the figure rushing towards them.

  Young Master of the Fire Tribe! Huo Shen Yue!

  What is he doing here? Is he looking for trouble again?

  Lan Jun's eyes flashed with a cold intent, his cyan sleeve brushing against the dark blood soul feathers at his waist, flashing with a bloodthirsty red light. This guy actually dares to come again!

  "Hey, Huǒshén Yuè, you've eaten your fill and have nothing better to do, why are you chasing us two?"

  Ruan Qincheng glared at Huo Shiyue with a bad temper and said rudely.

  "I'm going with you!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè's ash-blue fringe covered his face, while his deep, wise purple eyes stared straight at Ruǎn Qín Chén.

  "Huh, are you crazy?! You wouldn't be one of those with a fondness for men's love, and have taken a liking to my good looks? Or perhaps it's Xiao Cong that you've set your sights on?"

  Ruan Qincheng stared at him in shock, then pointed to Meng's adorable little blue boy, Blue Junsheng. It was really hard to believe that the legendary ruthless overlord had such a hobby!

  "Bodyguard, half a year!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè listened to her words that were as sharp as a knife, his thin and beautiful orange-red lips moved slightly, and his cold voice echoed without any emotion.

  "Ah——I forgot there was this too! Sorry about that!"

  Ruan Qincheng was taken aback, and then remembered the agreement they made before their fight yesterday. If he lost, he would be her bodyguard for half a year. She didn't expect him to actually keep his promise. At that time, she just said it casually and didn't even remember it in her heart.

  "But we only have two horses, how will you follow?"

  "Good heavens! Come out!"

  The lonely voice of Huo Shen Yue, the ancient well's sound echoes. A golden dragon pattern is branded on his face, and suddenly a golden light flashes.

  A dragon's roar, clear and loud, echoes across the sky. A majestic golden-winged heavenly dragon pokes its head out of the clouds. The mighty dragon's aura spreads far and wide.

  Ruan Qincheng and Lan Junsheng's divine steeds suddenly went soft in the knees, unable to stand upright, and began trembling simultaneously.

  However, strangely enough, Lian E and Xue Jing Luan were not affected by the dragon's might at all, and continued to sleep soundly.

  Two people jumped off the horse's back, looked up at the golden-winged dragon diving down from the sky, and couldn't help but raise their evaluation of Huǒ Shén Yuè's strength by another level.

  In the Lost Continent, there are indeed many spiritual beasts that can be contracted, but not everyone can contract those powerful spiritual beasts. Only people with strong soul power can contract powerful spiritual beasts as their companions.

  Unexpectedly, Huo Shen Yue actually contracted a Golden Winged Heavenly Dragon!

  If the Golden Winged Heaven Dragon had appeared during yesterday's battle, Ruan Qinzhu would have definitely had no chance of winning. However, even if the Golden Winged Heaven Dragon hadn't appeared, she still felt that her victory was not justified.

  But since he has come to offer himself as a free bodyguard, I might as well accept.

  "Let's go!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè coolly sat on the back of the Golden Winged Dragon, its wide cloak fluttering high.

  Ruan Qincheng silently glanced at the two divine horses that had been scared stiff, and gave Huo Shen Yue a cold look. This guy must be doing it on purpose!

  Huǒ Shén Yuè saw her small, pitiful face and suddenly felt a lot better about the inexplicable loss of heart he had suffered yesterday. Just as he was thinking of telling Yào Tiān to put away the Dragon's Might, he saw something that left him staring in amazement.

  "Xiao Lianrong bao, kuai dian qi lai!"

  Translation: "Little lotus bun, hurry up and get up!"

  Ruan Qincheng pinched out the snoring Lian Hua, her fingers gently touching its lovely pink nose, and a gentle voice like a clear spring slowly sounded.

  "Squeak——"

  The lotus root was not full and retreated into her sleeve, wanting to continue sleeping. However, she pulled it out again and continued to poke its soft nose.

  "Little lotus bun, your master is being bullied and you're still sleeping?"

  As soon as Ruan Qincheng's words fell, Lian Hua suddenly jumped up. A pair of icy purple eyes shone brightly like the sun in the sky, full of energy.

  How dare you bully the mistress of Lian Hua!

  How can this be!

  Even the master can't bear to bully his beloved pet, whoever dares to bully it will have trouble with him!

  "Squeak!"

  Lotus turned her small body the size of a palm, and in front of her eyes appeared a huge dragon head. Seeing the trembling divine horse beside her, she immediately became angry.

  The next moment, a silver-white light band appeared around Lian's body, wrapping her small body in the center like a cocoon. A pair of large silver wings unfolded, crossing each other, like an angel's wings, beautiful to the point of being breathtaking.

  A powerful and unparalleled aura of coercion emanated from the lotus seal on its forehead.

  The originally arrogant Yao Tian, felt the oppressive aura in the air, and his body trembled uncontrollably. In his large dragon eyes, a disbelieving expression emerged. This noble bloodline's pressure, could it be?

  Two divine steeds were even more frightened and fell to the ground, unable to maintain their stance.

  Huǒ Shén Yuè felt Yào Tiān's intense trembling, and a thick color of shock floated up from the bottom of his eyes. What is this little thing after all? The bloodline is even more noble than Yào Tiān's dragon tribe branch bloodline? It's really unthinkable!

  "Hiss——"

  Feeling the oppressive air, Snow Mirror lazily poked out its head, disdainfully glanced at Lotus, and continued to shrink back in for a big sleep. It thought something big had arrived? Unexpectedly it was just this annoying old mouse, sleeping is more important!

  Lotus glared at Xue Jing with a cold gaze, this soft and weak insect, actually dared to occupy the mistress's place, just looking at her was unbearable!

  Xue Jing Rong, who had originally wanted to shrink back and sleep, saw its provocative gaze and immediately got angry!

  He shifted his small, agile body, emitting a powerful aura that rivaled the Lotus Demon's. The two small beasts engaged in an intense stare-down, putting immense pressure on the Golden Winged Heavenly Dragon.

  A lotus seed's oppression was already almost unbearable, and now another bloodline's oppression that was in no way weaker was added on top. Its entire body began to tremble violently, and it directly knelt down onto the ground. Huo Shen Yue jumped off Long Zhen's back, looking at Yao Tian's terrified appearance, his heart became disordered like the wind.

  Never has there been someone who could surprise him so much!

  The little guy in front of me, who looks like he's only sixteen or seventeen years old, did it!

  And more than once!

  "Let's go, Xiaosheng!"

  Ruan Qincheng patted the small head of Xuejing Luan, letting it withdraw its intimidating aura. Sitting on the wings of Lian Hua, she waved her hand at Lan Junxiao.

  As long as Yao Tian is nearby, if riding a horse again, it would be difficult to move forward even an inch. Its dragon power, even if restrained, will still affect the speed of the divine steed's advance.

  So I can only trouble Lian Mei!

  "Alright!"

  Lan Junxiao also sat on the large wings of Lian Huan, a faint smile floating at the corner of his lips. To dare to compare with Lian Huan's small thing in terms of pressure, that would be truly a case of carrying a stick into a forest of halberds!

  Two divine steeds walked into a nearby forest, and later on, someone from the Loft of Falling Mortals would naturally come to take them away.

  The lotus demon patted its huge wings and flew high into the air.

  Huǒ Shén Yuè calmed down Yào Tiān's emotions, waiting until Lián Hù withdrew its oppressive aura before flying high up. From a distance, it gazed at Lián Hù with deep trepidation. It was well-known that higher-level Líng Huàn beasts were intelligent, and if they advanced to the level of Shén beasts, they could even transform into human form.

  Just now it sensed another bloodline pressure which was very familiar, as if it were from the same clan!

  But that bloodline is much purer and nobler than his!

  Unfortunately, I didn't get a glimpse of the phantom beast's appearance just now, otherwise I would have been able to identify what it was.

  "Huh?"

  A silver and a gold light flashed by in mid-air, instantly arriving at a distance of a thousand miles.

  The sky gradually darkened, and after flying for a day, they shortened the journey time that originally needed ten days by more than half.

  Before me lies a desolate expanse, with yellow sand stretching out in all directions. It appears to be the edge of a desert. Yu Jin City is situated on an oasis in the burial sands wasteland. The orange-red sunset falls from the edge of the sky.

  The scenery of "the vast desert smoke is straight, the long river sunset is round" appears in front of your eyes.

  "Sister, the next city is Lord Liao's Yu Jin City! There are about five days of journey left! It seems like there's a small town ahead, let's take a break there!"

  Lan Junsheng took a look at the sky, and after rushing for a whole day with the wind and dust, his sister should be tired too. Before entering the Burial Sand Desert, they must first prepare some water and food.

  "Alright! Little lotus bun, let's go down!"

  Ruan Qincheng also felt heartache for Lian Hui's long flight, gently stroking its wings and saying slowly.

  "Hmm..."

  The lotus demon flapped its wings and landed on the ground covered with yellow sand. It didn't fold its wings until Ruan Qincheng and Lan Junxiao jumped down. After shaking off the sand from its fur, it cleaned itself up before lying back on Ruan Qincheng's shoulder.

  Yao Tianhua transformed into a mimic, crawling on Huo Shen Yue's shoulder.

  A group of people walked towards a small town in the distance, outside which stood a stone monument with severe weathering, on which were faintly engraved the three words "Danyang Town".

  "Danyang Town, this name doesn't sound bad!"

  Ruan Qinchun distinguished the words above and said slowly.

  "Let's go in and see if there is anywhere we can settle down!"

  Lan Junsheng felt an unusual atmosphere, permeating the air, his face slightly solemn.

  As I walked into the town of Danyang, this small town was eerily quiet, with a very oppressive feeling that hit my heart. It seemed like a vast and empty town, without a single soul in sight.
