Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 14: Danger Encounters, Opportunity Arises
"Xixi!"

The two were clearly standing together, yet the snake's tail swept only towards Bai Xi—who would have thought?

The two were separated by that sweep.

Long Haochen tried to pull Bai Xi away, but was stopped by the last venom of the Bloodwing Serpent.

After Long Haochen finished dealing with the venom, he witnessed a scene that caused him unbearable pain.

The dying bloodwing serpent coiled around Bai Xi's exhausted body, and flames instantly licked at Bai Xi's body. The bloodwing serpent then plunged headfirst into the lake not far away, carrying Bai Xi with it.

"No, Xixi, little sister!"

"Chenchen, I'll be alright. I'll watch you ascend the throne of the Gods."

In the end, Long Haochen could only hear Bai Xi's voice, but he couldn't see her.

The lake water did not extinguish the flames, and the Bloodwing Serpent died amidst its painful hiss.

Bai Xi disappeared the moment she entered the water.

Long Haochen was left sitting on the ground, heartbroken and weeping bitterly with his head down.

at the same time.

Outside the remote town of Odin, Bai Yue was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

"Xixi!"

Even though she didn't dream about anything, Bai Yue felt a sudden pang of heart palpitation, cold sweat poured out, her breathing became erratic, and she had a bad premonition.

"Yue, what did you dream about?"

A gentle male voice rang out, and a strong arm pulled Bai Yue into a hug. Bai Yue did not struggle; instead, she hugged him back.

"I didn't dream anything, I just suddenly felt panicked, it seems like something happened to Chenchen and Xixi."

Bai Yue's voice was full of helplessness and worry.

"I just sent them to do two very simple tasks, they'll be back safely. You're just worrying too much, you can't let them go."

The man held Bai Yue even tighter, offering her support and comfort.

"really?"

Bai Yue was still somewhat unsure; that feeling of panic was terrifying.

Seeing that she was still extremely worried, the man had no choice but to give in.

"How about this, I'll send someone to find them and secretly escort them back."

With his arrangement, Bai Yue finally calmed down a bit and wasn't so worried anymore.

"Aren't you going to do it yourself?"

"No, I'm not going. It's not easy for me to spend time with you, and I can't bear to waste it. Once they come back, I won't be able to see you openly anymore."

As he spoke, the man kissed Bai Yue, and they became entangled for a while.

If Long Haochen and Bai Xi were here, they would be shocked and furious.

Because this man was none other than Long Haochen's highly respected teacher.

Bai Xi always felt that Xingyu wasn't a good person, and that he looked at her strangely.

Bai Yue, who was sleeping peacefully again, had no idea that Long Xingyu had not arranged for anyone to find Long Haochen and Bai Xi, but had only made a casual remark.

Because Long Xingyu didn't care about the siblings and didn't think they would encounter any danger.

And on this night when they slept peacefully.

Bai Xi's fate was unknown, and Long Haochen was consumed by despair and self-blame. He dived into the lake countless times to search, but only found the corpse of the Bloodwing Serpent at the bottom of the lake, without finding a trace of Bai Xi.

The lake wasn't large, and in one night, Long Haochen searched almost every part of the lakebed. He searched very carefully, but found nothing.

"Xixi..."

At this moment, Long Haochen sat by the lake, his head in his hands, calling Bai Xi's name repeatedly in a low voice. There were still water stains on his body, perhaps because he had been soaking in the lake too many times. His face was extremely pale, almost transparent.

Just as Long Haochen was in utter despair, wishing he could disappear into the lake, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a slightly cool hand touched his wrist.

He suddenly turned his head to look into the lake, and saw a small, white hand reaching out of the water, groping as if trying to grab a lifeline on the shore.

"younger sister!"

At a glance, Long Haochen recognized the hand, grabbed it tightly, and pulled the person out of the water. The joy of finding what he had lost filled his heart.

"How did you manage to get yourself into such a mess!"

When she saw Long Haochen, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief and joked with him.

Bai Xi was unaware of how terrible her own appearance was; instead, she started talking about Long Haochen.

She looked like she was recovering from a serious illness; although she was not in pain, her energy had not yet been restored.

"You're alive! You're alive..."

Long Haochen didn't say anything else, he just hugged his sister tightly, still feeling uneasy, which was evident in his voice.

"I searched the lake for so long, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Where did you come from? Where did you come from...? I thought I was going to lose you forever..."

"You've been looking for me all night? You idiot, didn't I tell you I'd be fine?"

Bai Xi felt both angry and touched, and revealed some things to Long Haochen.

"I'm a person with an aura, and I'm sure I'll turn misfortune into good fortune. Don't be fooled by the danger I've encountered this time; I've also encountered a great opportunity. Can you guess what it is?"

Bai Xi only mentioned what she had received, wanting to reassure and make Long Haochen happy.

But she never mentioned that she almost died trying to get that thing.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the second seal was broken.

Only then were they able to obtain the treasure and return safely.

Are you trying to distract me?

Long Haochen, unusually, didn't fall for this act and pointed to Bai Xi's clothes, which had several tears.

"These marks must have been from a sharp blade."

"Although you received a great opportunity, you must have also suffered serious injuries. It is likely that the opportunity healed your wounds, but the marks on your clothes were not concealed."

How could the observant Long Haochen not notice the subtle changes in Bai Xi?

"I was trying to distract you, but you still saw it."

Since everything had been discovered, Bai Xi no longer saw any point in trying to hide it.

He just smiled and said, "Although I suffered a few minor injuries, they are nothing compared to what I gained."

The wounds had long since healed, but only the tattered clothes and Bai Xi herself knew that those so-called minor injuries were actually a full one hundred and twenty deep wounds that exposed the bone.

Many opportunities come with danger; one can either rise to great heights or lose their life.

The greater the danger, the greater the reward.

"Guess what I got? It's pretty good."

Bai Xi shook the heartbroken Long Haochen, insisting that he guess in order to distract him.

"There are so many treasures in the world, how could I possibly guess them all? But since you've asked me to guess, then we must have seen that thing before, and you've even mentioned wanting to possess it."

Long Haochen understood Bai Xi very well. After a quick mental search, he immediately knew what the treasure Bai Xi was referring to was.

"Spirit Furnace?"

"You didn't get a spirit furnace, did you?"
