Chapter 221: The Return Journey
Every time the Apache Attack Helicopter was activated, it would emit a tremendous roar. It was no surprise; as one of the most heavily armed helicopters, it was impossible for it to make no sound at all. Therefore, as the Apache took to the skies, Ye Huan couldn't help but worry whether Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower would try to stop them. However, as it turned out, Ye Huan's concerns were unfounded.
Below the Apache, despite having received a slap from Black Shadow Flower, Bai Yulin remained lost in memories of the Plant Queen. Meanwhile, Black Shadow Flower's heart was entirely focused on Bai Yulin. Occasionally, she would glance at the wound on his face, which had been cleaned by someone else, wanting to say something but ultimately holding her tongue.
After a long silence, Bai Yulin finally broke the oppressive quiet with a voice that sounded slightly hoarse. "A dragon falling in love with a plant is truly a joke. I think I was wrong..."
"Bai Yulin, you are not wrong; I am the one at fault..."
Feeling similarly reflective, Black Shadow Flower's leafy armor vanished completely, revealing her true self. She even bent down to pick up the two long swords that Bai Yulin had dropped earlier and handed them back to him, saying softly, "Bai Yulin, if you hate me for killing the Plant Queen, then you can kill me instead. That way, I might feel better..."
"Hate you? What do I have to hate you for? The moment you pinned me down on that bed, I knew your feelings... But still, you shouldn't have killed the Plant Queen!"
His face twisted with hatred; it was clear that Bai Yulin was not truly hating Black Shadow Flower but rather himself. He despised himself for falling in love with the Plant Queen; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought such calamity upon her. Ironically, it was Black Shadow Flower—who loved him—who had killed her.
To Bai Yulin's surprise, after hearing his words, Black Shadow Flower slowly pulled out a green gem from her bosom. It was about the size of a fist and completely translucent. She held it out before him and posed a question: "I only have around a thousand years of cultivation while the Plant Queen had over two thousand years. Do you really think I could have killed her?"
"You mean she’s not dead?"
Bai Yulin stood up in shock, nearly moved to tears. But when he saw the green gem in her hand, he realized that it was impossible for the Plant Queen to be alive because this green gem was a Beast Inner Pill—the inner core of the Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen!
Seeing the expression on Bai Yulin's face clearly, Black Shadow Flower elegantly sat beside him. Her gaze fixated on the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill as if she were talking to herself or recounting a story to Bai Yulin. She murmured, "The Plant Queen is dead; she died of old age. For magical beasts, her lifespan of over two thousand years seems to have reached their limit. Just before she died, I happened to find her. She gave me this gem and after hearing about our story—yours and mine—she had only one request: to bring this gem to you..."
Carefully taking the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill from Black Shadow Flower's hands, Bai Yulin seemed to understand everything now. Yes, he loved the Plant Queen; however, he could not deceive his own heart. He also loved Black Shadow Flower. As she had told Ye Huan before, dragons are inherently lustful; sometimes a dragon's thoughts are often manipulated by their instincts and nature—a truth that could never be avoided. Now that the Plant Queen was dead and death is irreversible, why shouldn't he cherish those who were still present?
Throwing aside the inner core of the Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen, Bai Yulin tightly embraced Black Shadow Flower. This embrace might have been one of overwhelming joy; tears streamed down Black Shadow Flower's cheeks as she felt his warmth. As for what Bai Yulin had previously said about asking Ye Huan to kill Black Shadow Flower—that had undoubtedly been said in anger.
"Wait, Ye Huan?"
The image of Ye Huan suddenly flashed through Bai Yulin's mind. He felt he should thank Ye Huan; if it weren't for Ye Huan, he might never have understood the importance of cherishing those around him. He couldn't help but look around.
Noticing Bai Yulin's strange behavior, Black Shadow Flower looked up in surprise and asked, "Yulin, what's wrong?"
"Where is Ye Huan?"
After searching for Ye Huan without success, and realizing that all the chaotic weapons summoned earlier by Ye Huan had vanished, Bai Yulin inevitably turned to Black Shadow Flower for answers. He learned that Ye Huan had already left.
Ye Huan was gone. As a Holy Dragon, Bai Yulin wasn't one to make promises lightly, but he understood the principle of repaying kindness. Remembering that Ye Huan had mentioned his father was still bedridden and urgently needed the blood of a Holy Dragon for treatment, Bai Yulin fell into a long silence. Finally, he made a decision and said to Black Shadow Flower, "Black Shadow Flower, pack your things. We need to leave here..."
"Leave here? Where are we going?"
Looking at Bai Yulin with confusion, Black Shadow Flower, a Tenth-Level Beast who had been hidden away for a millennium, couldn't comprehend his decision. To her, the outside world was filled with danger; everyone wanted to obtain the inner core of Tenth-Level Beasts.
"We're going to find Ye Huan. Have you forgotten? Ye Huan mentioned that there seems to be a Barrier between Eastern State and Jiuzhou. With our strength, who would dare come after us outside? Besides, if it weren't for Ye Huan's reminder this time, I might still be blissfully unaware of my fortune!"
Bai Yulin embraced Black Shadow Flower tightly. A powerful majesty radiated from him, followed by a touch of tenderness that made Black Shadow Flower nod repeatedly. She didn't even notice what Bai Yulin had said, perfectly embodying the saying that women in love can be foolish—Mother Dragon was no different.
After gathering some useful items from the Northern Liang Mountain Range, just as they were about to take off into the sky, Bai Yulin suddenly remembered something and turned his gaze back to Black Shadow Flower. With two streams of nosebleed flowing down his face, he said, "Yohua, before we leave, could you please put on your top?"
...
After flying for over ten minutes and finally leaving the Northern Liang Mountain Range, Ye Huan felt fortunate that there were no obstacles in the sky above the Northern Liang Mountain Range to hinder the Apache Attack Helicopter. Otherwise, not only would they have struggled to leave with those two Tenth-Level Beasts, but it would have been a miracle if they avoided total disaster.
Upon returning to the entrance of the Northern Liang Mountain Range and landing the Apache Attack Helicopter again, Ye Huan excitedly pulled out a piece of fabric stained with the blood of Holy Dragon Bai Yulin from his waist and exclaimed to Ye Luo, "Ye Butler, don't you think we got Holy Dragon's blood too easily this time?"
Looking at Ye Huan with curiosity, Ye Luo had a lingering question he had yet to ask: Why was Ye Huan so certain that Bai Yulin was indeed the Tenth Level Magical Beast Sacred Dragon? What if he was just a fraud?
Ye Huan directed his question towards the Ye Huan, this time he was fully confident that the blood on the fabric would definitely belong to the Holy Dragon. After leaving the Northern Liang Mountain Range, his Divine Sense had returned to normal, allowing him to sense that the blood on the fabric carried a distinct divine aura. If Bai Yulin was not the Holy Dragon, how could he possibly possess blood with such an aura?
With a smile, Ye Huan explained to Ye Luo, and then summoned a military Hummer to quickly return to Tianyue City. Once they healed Ye Tian, with both Ye Luo and Ye Tian being Ninth Level Warriors, along with Ye Huan's presence, rebuilding the Ye Family would be an easy task.
Having made up his mind, after Ye Luo got into the car, Ye Huan excitedly pressed the Throttle, and the military Hummer roared towards Tianyue City in Huaxia.
A day and night passed. When Ye Huan returned to Tianyue City, it was deep into the night. The entire Tian Yue was shrouded in darkness. Upon arriving at the gates of the Dragon Hall Headquarters, Ye Huan peeked inside but saw no one. He couldn't help but wonder where all the members of the Dragon Hall had gone; there wasn't even a guard present. If someone were to enter the Dragon Hall Headquarters, wouldn't it be easy for them to seal off the exit of the Dragon Hall?
Exchanging a glance with Ye Luo, feeling that something might be wrong, Ye Huan drove the military Hummer through the gates of the Dragon Hall. Once inside, he quickly stowed away the vehicle and pulled out two Remington M870 shotguns, tossing one to Ye Luo. Gripping his shotgun tightly, Ye Huan felt as if he and Ye Luo were acting like thieves upon returning home.
They made their way through the courtyard and into the Main Hall. Standing at the back side of the hall, still not having seen anyone, Ye Huan quietly asked Ye Luo, “Ye Butler, do you feel that something is off?”
“I think I heard something,” replied Ye Luo seriously. Despite being older, he still seemed a bit embarrassed, which did not escape Ye Huan's notice.
Calming himself to listen carefully, after two seconds, a series of ecstatic and desperate shouts reached Ye Huan's ears: “Ah… ah… ah ah ah… ah… ah… take it easy… no… harder… ah… Yulin… harder…”
“...”
After hearing that voice clearly, Ye Huan finally understood why there had been a slight flush on Ye Luo's face earlier. It turned out that those were clearly sounds of a woman moaning in bed! However, aside from what was being shouted, Ye Huan found that he recognized that voice. He muttered to himself, “Wait a minute, why does this voice sound familiar? Yulin… Bai Yulin?!”
