While Chen Li was having fun with Feng Xian'er and her familiar, the spirit women were in the volcano, and Chen Meiyi seemed to be seriously checking on Gong Lianxin's condition.
However, Feng Bing'er had to envelop Chen Meiyi with her ice qi, mainly because her cultivation was still the lowest among them, and the heat inside the volcano would have a negative impact on her. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Before long, Chen Meiyi had retracted her light qi, and she let out a heavy sigh before informing Gong Lianxin of her diagnosis. "Honestly, your injuries are very heavy and serious, and I can't heal you with the resources in Tianyi Realm, especially since their rank is too low, so we need high-ranking herbs to heal you."
"What kind of herbs do you need to treat her, Guang?" Xiao Kong'er asked her.
"A thousand-year-old Sun Grass, a thousand-year-old Blood Jade Ginseng, a hundred Fire Lotus Flowers, a Vermilion Fruit that is at least a hundred years old, ten high-grade Fire Beast Cores, and a few stalks of young Yin Tree."
Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding. "I have Fire Lotus Flowers, but there are only around twenty. However, a thousand-year-old Sun Grass is very difficult to obtain, and a thousand-year-old Blood Jade Ginseng is even more difficult. As for the other ingredients, we can search for them easily in the Upper Realm or Five Divine Heavens."
They then turned to Xiao Kong'er, which caused her to smile bitterly, especially since she was the only one who could go there freely. "All right then, I will go to the Five Divine Heavens right now to look for the ingredients."
"Big Sis Kong'er, I'll go with you to the Five Divine Heavens, for you can't possibly recognize those two herbs." Xiao Huoli said to her. "However, we will probably be gone for quite a while, especially since those two herbs are very rare, so you guys please convey this matter to Chen Li."
"En, we will inform our master later." Xiao Hei answered as she nodded. "Even so, we still need to keep Lianxin's existence a secret from him, for I'm afraid that her presence will cause bad impacts on him, especially since she is Long Wang's little sister."
"That's true." Chen Meiyi agreed with her sister's words. "All right, you two can go now, for the sooner you go, the sooner you come back."
They nodded in agreement, and Xiao Kong'er immediately took Xiao Huoli away through the void, but the two of them still had to be very alert when they arrived at the Five Divine Heavens, especially since that place was filled with their enemies.
Chen Meiyi then turned to Gong Lianxin. "For now, you can rest completely in this volcano, and we will come back here after they get all the herbs."
"It's fine." Gong Lianxin nodded to her. "I've been in this volcano for a thousand years, so it's not a problem for me to wait for them a little longer."
"Anyway, how did you end up stranded in this realm?" Xiao Hei curiously asked Gong Lianxin.
Gong Lianxin sighed softly before answering her question. "You must still remember when Emperor Long sent most of his subordinates away from that place using his technique, right? Back then, he found us dragons in a dire situation and seriously injured, so he decided to send me and our kin away with them. However, he himself suffered heavy injuries at that time, and he sent all of us to random places. Since then, I have been stranded in this realm, and a thousand years have passed quickly."
"I see." They certainly remembered all the events that happened that day, and Feng Bing'er then asked her. "So how many dragons survived that war?"
"I don't know for sure." Gong Lianxin replied by shaking her head. "Since I was still at my lowest point, I couldn't sense their whereabouts. However, I could still sense some of them, and one of them should be in the Beast Realm now."
"Huh?" Feng Bing'er was really surprised to hear that. "Why have I never felt the presence of a dragon in my realm before? Moreover, which dragon is there now?"
"Haha." Gong Lianxin chuckled and then told her. "Long Shui should be in your realm now, but she can hide her aura and presence perfectly as long as she merges with water, plus she can also use the same formation as me, so not a single beast can sense her, including you. However, she's probably still in deep slumber right now, so you don't need to go looking for her, and she'll definitely show up by herself once her injuries recover."
"Ah." Feng Bing'er clasped her hands together. "Long Shui's ability to hide both is indeed extraordinary, and only my big sister can detect her when she uses it."
"That's true." Gong Lianxin nodded to her. "Feng Xian'er is completely on a different level compared to other phoenixes, and her abilities are far beyond your parents and ancestors."
"En." Feng Bing'er nodded repeatedly, indicating she very much agreed with her. "Even when my big sister emerged from her egg for the first time, the entire universe welcomed her, and every living creature bowed down to her, except for Long Wang."
"Haha." Gong Lianxin laughed at that. "After all, my big brother is the second oldest after Xiao Shijian, so no living creature can make him bow down, including my sister-in-law."
"However, your big brother is really narcissistic, you know." Xiao Hei said as she shook her head. "When Feng Xian'er was first born, he even went straight to her parents to take her as his wife, and they certainly couldn't possibly refuse his request, but they eventually became a couple that made all living creatures jealous."
Gong Lianxin smiled while listening to her words. "Feng Xian'er was indeed born to accompany my big brother, and there is no other woman more worthy than her to be by his side."
"No matter how many women there are by his side, none of us can shake Feng Xian'er's position in his heart, and the current him is also the same as his previous reincarnations." Chen Meiyi replied as she sighed heavily, especially since she herself felt very jealous of her in the past. "Years ago, when my little brother met her for the first time, he immediately asked our parents to marry them when they grew up, and they are now husband and wife again."
"That's my brother for ya." Gong Lianxin exclaimed softly before she turned to Feng Bing'er. "Every time he wanted women, he would definitely get them, but you were the only woman who kept rejecting him, and you even avoided him for thousands of years."
"Humph!" Feng Bing'er snorted at him. "Just let him try hard to win my heart, but his efforts will only be in vain, and I will never accept that lecherous giant lizard as my husband."
"Pft! Hahaha!" Gong Lianxin, Chen Meiyi, and Xiao Hei burst into laughter after they heard that, and they muttered the same thing in their hearts. 'You can still talk like that now, especially since Long Wang/my brother still gives you a chance to decide for yourself, but if he has run out of patience with you, then he definitely won't hesitate about subduing you by using his bloodline superiority, and you won't be able to refuse him anymore.'
Black lines appeared on Feng Bing'er's forehead after seeing them like that, but she didn't comment anything about it and said to Chen Meiyi and Xiao Hei. "Let's go back. Chen Li will definitely look for you guys."
After the two agreed, the three of them immediately left the volcano, leaving Gong Lianxin alone.
Gong Lianxin sighed softly and changed into her fire dragon form, and she continued to rest again, or else her injury would take longer to recover.
Except for Sun Xing'er, who was lazing by the riverside in her fox form when the three arrived at the Southern Forest, everyone else was already sound asleep.
However, they couldn't find Chen Li and Feng Xian'er, so they used their senses to search for them directly.
"Damn it!" Feng Bing'er instantly cursed after her senses reached the cave, especially since Chen Li was engrossed in dual cultivation with Feng Xian'er, and both of their expressions were filled with lustful pleasure, so she immediately withdrew her senses and entered Tianyi Realm directly.
Xiao Hei also withdrew her senses, but she didn't say anything and jumped onto a tall tree because she had to protect those people.
On the other hand, Chen Meiyi immediately rushed to the cave to dual cultivate with Chen Li, especially since she wanted her little brother to become stronger faster, and her current Yin Qi was most beneficial to him compared to his other women.
Meanwhile, Xie Tiezhu was standing in front of a room, and he immediately knocked on the door.
After getting permission, Xie Tiezhu immediately entered the room, and two people looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Why did you come to see us at this hour?"
"Master, I wanted to inform you that Di Chen and Di Jing had returned to this realm earlier, but I only met you two now because you were too busy earlier." Xie Tiezhu respectfully answered the question of the middle-aged man, who was none other than Nalan Jie's father, Nalan Xu.
The two raised their eyebrows after hearing that, and Wu Xie'er then asked him. "Did you see those foreigners?"
