Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 461 Don’t Worry, I’m Here

She cleared her mind and put away her thoughts. When she was forced to step back, she accidentally knocked over a shell.

The shell seemed to recognize her and flew between them, flashing a faint light.

Luo Chi saw the rejection and fear in her eyes and naturally couldn't force her, so he drew some symbols with his hands in his sleeves to send her away.

But she saw through this subtle movement, so she grabbed his left hand that was casting the spell and shook her head. If she left, he would be the one to die.

She couldn't be so selfish. Since there was a way to break the impasse, she was willing to give it a try. Compared to the fact that he would die, this sacrifice was nothing.

Besides, Luo Yan and the others were already dead, so how could she leave him in this cold and lonely ancient burial ground?

Luo Chi's expression froze and he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a cold object was stuffed into his mouth.

When he was about to activate his magic, she grabbed his wrist tightly. As he struggled, he saw her facial features approaching.

His pupils suddenly dilated and he didn't know how to react. His body was very stiff. It was not until Mu Huayan kissed his cold lips that he closed his eyes awkwardly.

But her ears were as red as the sunset glow in the sky, and her body began to heat up involuntarily. He wrapped the little pearl with dragon energy and put it into her mouth.

So it wouldn't burn her body. After doing this, both parties let go of each other immediately out of embarrassment.

The people around them thought they were a shy couple who had just been together for a short time, so they didn't pursue the matter any further.

"Come on!"

He took her hand and fled to another place, and they just missed Cang Li perfectly. When they arrived at the beach, neither of them mentioned what happened just now.

The two asked around but did not find any information about the whereabouts of the Taichu Tianpan, so they had no choice but to set out to look for Jiang Zilin and Fengdie.

"Wait, look at that."

She looked in the direction Luo Chi pointed and found that it was Cang Li who was talking to the dragons here. Luo Chi was curious why he was here instead of going to the Black Abyss Realm with Chu Mingchuan and the others.

Is he planning something by coming here specially? Luo Chi suggested that she go find the whereabouts of Jiang Zilin and others first, and he wanted to stay and find out what Cang Li was up to.

As he spoke, Luo Chi let go of her hand, completely forgetting that she couldn't move around here on her own. When Mu Huayan was a few steps away from him, she began to feel suffocated by the dragon's energy.

"Could it be that Luo Chi's forgetful brain has been affected by that fish?"

She groaned and tried to stand up but failed. Luo Chi seemed to have heard her voice and turned around and said apologetically: "I almost forgot, are you okay?"

He asked her if she was okay but didn't reach out to help her up. She said angrily, "What are you still standing there for?"

But when she looked closely, she found a hint of fierceness on his face. She was slightly startled and began to feel afraid of him.

The next moment he bent down with a smile on his face and held her up with his hands, "Don't move."

She subconsciously grasped his collar tightly and dared not move. After a moment, a trace of dragon energy moved around the two of them, and her own breath and appearance disappeared in an instant.

When they got closer, they heard Cang Li also asking about the whereabouts of the Taichu Tianpan, and the dragons here seemed to be deliberately hiding the matter of this magic weapon.

"This magic weapon has been split into several pieces, but we don't know exactly how many pieces it is."

"Someone just came to inquire about the whereabouts of the Taichu Tianpan. One of the fragments is on the bottom of the sea."

"But it's not that easy to get it. Not to mention that many powerful people want to get the fragments, and if you want to get it, you must pass the competition among my clan."

"You've come at the right time. The competition will begin at noon tomorrow. Whether you can get it depends on your luck."

Cang Li thanked the old man and turned to leave without noticing that Mu Huayan and the others were eavesdropping not far away.

Well, they couldn't explain clearly when they were asked, but when Cang Li asked them, they told the truth. I don't know what kind of medicine Cang Li gave them to make them so obedient.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to remember that he had missed something and he ran while shouting, "There's one more thing. First of all, you need a companion. You can't participate in the competition alone."

Luo Chi put her down and led her towards the old man, asking, "May I ask this old man, where will the competition be held, and what are the steps and requirements?"

The old man looked at their kind eyes and began to tell them the whole story. Strangely, Mu Huayan could understand all their conversations.

She sensed that the little pearl in her stomach seemed to have been absorbed by her. Was it because of it? She found it strange that it didn't take her life.

She could actually digest it, but she had no time to care about it at the moment. The connection with the swallowtail butterfly was still there, which meant that she was fine. So she raised her right hand and felt that the entangled silk thread had not disappeared.

The old man's words brought her back to her senses. Her face changed drastically and she was shocked. The competition required...

But are the fragments of the Taichu Tianpan really here? After thanking the old man, Luo Chi took her away from the place while she was in deep thought.

On the day of the competition, many people appeared in pairs on the island. There were many tall trees growing here. It was spring and the sun was very warm.

The various flowers and plants growing around swayed gracefully, and the breeze brought a few wisps of flower fragrance. Mu Huayan was not a real dragon.

She told him her thoughts, roughly meaning that she didn't want to participate in the competition, and he could find a dragon girl to participate.

He agreed, but when the two went to find the old man, they were rejected. The old man meant that they had already been bound by Little Pearl.

The candidate cannot be changed because Xiao Zhenzhu cannot repeat the process of binding him to other dragon girls. Mu Huayan was so shocked that she covered her mouth and took a step back.

"What, then, if I..."

The old man shook his head as if he knew what she was going to say, "No, the pearl must have been absorbed by the girl."

"And the aura of that pearl is also connected to him, which means that the two of you have long been bound by an invisible line."

"When we go to the battlefield to compete later, the power of space will automatically check whether the two of you are in the same group. The rules of the competition are set in this way to prevent people from changing partners in the middle of the competition."

"But you two must remember that if one of you loses, it means you are both out of the game."

"By the way, I think you and I are destined to be together, so I will reluctantly give you two magic weapons."

The old man stroked his beard with a smile, and then carved some incomprehensible runes in the air. After a moment, a small vortex appeared in the air.

He took out two magic weapons that looked like dragon scales, one red and one blue, and handed them to them. "This is the golden fire jade that I have treasured for a long time. Its specific function depends on whether you can understand it."

After saying this, he left with a loud laugh, leaving the two of them to examine the magic weapon in their hands. Luo Chi looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.

He was mesmerized for a moment, the wind blowing her hair and dress. In his eyes, even if all the dragon girls at the scene were added together, they were not half as beautiful as her.

She was startled when she noticed his fiery gaze and broke away from his hand, keeping a certain distance from him. "I, I feel much better. Maybe it's because of the pearl."

He hummed and walked over to her, bowed slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked her head, "Try to follow me closely. You can't use your spiritual power yet, and I'm worried that something might go wrong."

Was this a wrong feeling? She always felt that he regarded her as a sister who needed to be protected. This would save her from worrying.

"Miss Mu? What's wrong with you? You don't look well."

Hearing this, she seemed to be greatly stimulated and slapped his hand away. A trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

"Oh, I-I'm fine. I'm just not used to not being able to use my spiritual power."

In fact, what she wanted to say was that she was very uneasy about not being able to use her spiritual power, and she might die here at any time, but she didn't dare to say it for fear of irritating him.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

When she heard this, she suddenly looked up at him and nodded with a complicated expression.
