--- Chapter 166 ---
Yu Long brought Hong Guan to the nearest settlement in the area.
To Yu Long's surprise, Shadow Realm's 13th Branch was nearby and the one with the famous beach resort he planned to visit with his companions after this whole fiasco was over.
Since the city is inside a well-protected bay, the aftershock of Yu Long's attack or clash between Hong Guan and Dullahan actually didn't damage the area much.
Still, a chunk of Outer Bay got razzed badly.
As Yu Long landed on the sandy beach, he heard Jasmine's solemn voice.
"That was a bit too much, don't you think?" Jasmine commented from the Sky Poison Pearl's dimension.
"This isn't the first you comment about my excessive usage of power, Jasmine." Yu Long chuckled earnestly.
"I'm serious!" Jasmine wanted to punch him so badly.
Yu Long carried Hong Guan to the resort, "Yes, and so I am."
"That attack was my way to send Dullahan away."
At the very least, Dullahan should witness the current state of his former master and die in peace. That's a suitable end for the headless knight.
Zilong and others also arrived at the beach, approaching Yu Long with a complicated look. Lily and Freya followed shortly after, having a disbelief expression more than anything.
"Big Brother, that trick of yours is so pretty~! Please, teach me!" Su Ling'er ran toward Yu Long with a hopeful expression.
Yu Long patted Su Ling'er and replied, "Well, let's wait until you're a bit older to do such stuff."
"What about fundamental training instead?"
"Okay, pinky promise!" Su Ling'er raised her pinky finger.
"Mm. pinky promise." Yu Long followed after her.
Who would have thought a person who could release such a world-destroying attack would do a silly thing like a pinky promise with a little girl a few moments later?
It's poetic in some way.
Of course, this is due to Yu Long's promise to take care of Su Meiling and Su Ling'er.
Yu Long's gaze was directed to Lily as he asked, "Are you okay?"
At first glance, Lily doesn't look good at the moment. Her maid outfit is tattered and soaked with blood. In truth, Lily's injuries have recovered from her endless vitality. The bloodline of [Yang Dragon] and [Grass Dragon] is that powerful.
In terms of pure regeneration speed, only Yu Long topped Lily's.
"Even if Dullahan was stronger than me, that doesn't mean he could kill me easily." Lily grinned foolishly and raised her skinny right arm, flexing it. "My surviving skill is unmatched."
"Good." Yu Long smiled back at her. "Go wash and take a breather in the presidential suite."
"You can meet me tomorrow morning."
"As for you, go with Lily." He glanced at Freya.
Freya helplessly sighed and followed Lily into the resort. It seemed she had underestimated her master's new companions too much.
Watching Lily and Freya's departing figures, Yu Long rubbed his temple and commented, "Everyone must be tired as well."
"Let's go inside."
"Horaay~!" Su Ling'er gingerly holds Yu Long's hand and drags him into the resort, making the other ladies giggle.
Xia Qingyue whispered something to Cang Yue's ears, which made the Blue Wind Empire's princess ponder. After a while, they nodded and decided not to bother Yu Long tonight.
Even though Yu Long looks so hot after defeating Dullahan, they should give their fellow sisters a chance. And Hong Guan is currently in Yu Long's arms, so they don't want to ruin her moment.
The same goes with Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan. They understood that Hong Guan was in the lead.
The only problem is Su Ling'er.
"Ling'er, you're going to sleep with us tonight, fufu." Cang Yue said while catching Su Ling'er.
"EEEH, but Ling'er wants to sleep with Big Brother Yu Long!" Su Ling'er pouted and complained immediately.
"No, no, Yu Long is tired. You can't bother him tonight." Xia Qingyue added shamelessly. She didn't forget that they tried to drain Yu Long before departing to the Profound Sky Continent.
After that, Yu Long even spent time with Su Meiling.
What a joke. Yu Long is like a damn wild horse and far from tired!
Su Ling'er put on a worried look, "Okay, then..."
"Big Brother Yu Long, you must rest well, okay!"
"Mm." Yu Long patted Su Ling'er again.
After that, everyone left except for Zilong.
Zilong didn't beat around the bush and asked, "What should we do with the cracked space on that ocean?"
"Patch it." Yu Long answered decisively.
"You and Uda will do it."
The corner of Zilong's mouth twitched, "Oh, wow, you really threw your mess at us."
"Oh, really? I wonder who just got the Miracle of Life recently." Yu Long shrugged.
"Fuck, you're playing dirty." Zilong was joking earlier, but Yu Long put him in the corner. "Fine, I got it."
"We will patch the hole right away."
"Uda, stop playing around and follow me." The dragon grumbled at the empty air.
"Chill, bro. It's just a hole in space." A voice responded as an invisible figure chased after Zilong.
Yu Long turned around and confidently walked away as World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon and Space Walker were more than enough to fix the cracked space problem. They are also strong enough to protect the place from unknown variables.
...
Yu Long picked one of the best suites and placed Hong Guan gently on the bed. He waved his hand, and a cleansing light washed over Hong Guan's body, cleaning any impurities away.
He sat on the edge of the bed and commented, "What a stubborn woman you are, Hong Guan."
"But that's what makes me like you even more." He lifted Hong Guan's hand and kissed it.
White light escaped Yu Long's hand and slowly entered Hong Guan's body, increasing her recovery speed. A black-golden pagoda appeared above Yu Long's head, which released a dim aura as he kept treating Hong Guan.
One hour later, Hong Guan gradually opened her eyes.
Her complexion has become healthier than before. But what shocked the most was the fact her green eyes gained a dragon-like slit.
Yu Long gazed and weighed, 'It probably had to do with her fusing Yin Dragon and Gale Dragon's Bloodlines. Those bloodlines are 'essentially' altered True Dragon's Bloodline, so fusing them will yield a surprising effect.'
'As long as Hong Guan gained enough control over her new bloodline, she should be able to deactivate her transformation.'
Hong Guan blinked and looked around, assessing her situation.
"How long have I been sleeping?" She asked.
"One hour." Yu Long answered honestly.
"One hour..."
Hong Guan fell into a deep thought as she suddenly felt Yu Long embracing her. It caught her off guard because Yu Long rarely did something like this.
"What are you..." She was about to ask him.
"I'm glad, I'm glad that you're alive." Yet Yu Long responded with a reassuring voice. "You're doing your best, and I'm proud of you for exceeding that barrier."
"It must be painful."
"It's okay, no one else here..."
After hearing that last line, Hong Guan finally revealed her vulnerable side and cried in Yu Long's arms. To many people, Hong Guan is an aloof and cold woman.
But the truth is.
'She's just a lonely lady whose remaining biological family died tragically.' Yu Long thought while rubbing Hong Guan's back.
Although Hong Guan has wiped the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress from existence, she still has some trauma that prevents her from reaching her full potential. The ones she couldn't forget easily. So, she decided to bury these negative feelings.
After Hong Guan was calm enough, Yu Long rubbed her cheek with deep emotion and asked determinedly, "It's a little late, but are you willing to be my wife, Hong Guan?"
Hong Guan was stunned but eventually smiled in happiness, "Yes."
"I want to be your wife, Yu Long."
That night, two bodies mend into one and drowned by burning passion.
