After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Long Wanyan sighed inwardly. The best thing would be to retrieve the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit tomorrow; she was prepared to get injured.

As long as she quickly kills the half-demon at the Core Formation stage at the beginning, the remaining dragon with its injured tail will be nothing to fear.

The chances are slim; those two bastards are watching her closely, not giving her a chance to make a move. She needs to... create her own opportunity.

While Long Wanyan was slightly lost in thought, planning how to harvest the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit the next day.

Xiao Yu stared into Long Wanyan's eyes, his gaze resolute: "Don't worry, with me on your side, we can definitely do it. It's just a few dragons guarding a Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit. My natal flying sword is specifically designed to counter it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the flying sword floating in front of Long Wanyan trembled, and a white light like a cold tide surged from its surface.

Sensing the captivating aura emanating from the flying sword, Long Wanyan was taken aback. Her bright, beautiful eyes widened slightly, revealing a rare hint of surprise.

Dear readers:

As the title suggests, after many bumps and stumbles, this book has finally reached the point of being available for purchase.

The author, who has failed miserably, is incredibly excited. First and foremost, I want to thank Ziran for her help and all the readers for their support. Thank you! Thank you so much!!!

To be honest, I never expected this book to do so well (for me, it's like I got incredibly lucky).

This is something the author has never experienced before, and while excited, I also felt a sense of pressure.

After all, I know my own book best. I feel that I am somewhat unworthy of the title, and even under a lot of pressure. I don't think my book is good enough to be overshadowed by a bunch of big names. It may have only risen to the top because of the buff of being a male protagonist novel.

I am a novice writer, and I know that there are some shortcomings in the beginning of this book, and my writing style is immature. I will work hard to improve in the later stages, learn techniques, and do my best to give everyone a good reading experience and live up to your expectations.

At the same time, this book has an outline, and the author will not abandon it or suddenly run away, so please rest assured.

After all, I came here with the goal of finishing a book, and giving up halfway would not be a good thing.

Next, regarding the plot, I originally planned to finish writing the plot of the first volume before it was released, which would be after the end of the Secret Realm.

Unfortunately, perhaps because I write too slowly, and with a lot of things to do as finals approach, I can only update once a week, so I didn't get to write more. I'm really sorry.

The next volume will be about returning to Jumo Island. At that time, it will be more about daily life, taking a short break from the main storyline, and writing about Xiao Yu and Bai Yan's interesting experiences on the island. Of course, there will definitely be plot developments later, such as the female protagonists who are away coming to find him, Xiao Yu's understanding and reflection on his own position, and then going to the demon race.

This book features a harem, but it won't exceed a large number, definitely in the single digits, not double digits.

Then, the author is socially awkward and not good at speaking, so sometimes the replies in the comments section may not be very enthusiastic, and I apologize again for that.

Finally, I would like to thank all the readers and Ziran again. Thank you very much.

This book will be available for purchase at midnight tonight, with a major update. At that time, the storyline involving Long Wanyan will be completed.

Please subscribe and add to your favorites.

Thanks for the support!

Chapter 50, Princess Carry

That night.

Long Wanyan carried Xiao Yu out of the cave. The bright moonlight rushed towards them, shining on them and transforming into a pure spiritual energy that healed Xiao Yu's injuries.

The plan was simple. The biggest reason why Long Wanyan couldn't do anything to those two black dragons was simply that they were in a favorable position, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Whenever danger arises, it shrinks back and sinks into the deep pool, making it impossible for Long Wanyan to hit it every time she tries, leaving her with a feeling of powerlessness, like hitting cotton.

Sometimes, they even used their geographical advantage to turn the tables on Long Wanyan, making her suffer terribly.

If it weren't for this obstructive deep pool, in a one-on-one fight, Long Wanyan would probably be able to take off the head of the Golden Core Realm dragon in less than three moves.

Are you kidding me? The top spot on the list of "Former Generation" and "New Generation"?

The Rising Stars List, as explained in the previous Immortal Cultivation Miscellany, has very simple criteria for inclusion: talented young people under the age of thirty, below the Nascent Soul Realm, regardless of gender, are eligible to be listed.

There are thirty spots on the list, and only those with exceptional talent and ability can advance.

Long Wanyan had previously topped the list of rising stars, her skill with the Falling Cloud Spear making her famous throughout the world. However, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, her name disappeared from the list.

Meanwhile, Long Wanyan also ranked seventh on the Fairy Beauty Ranking. To some extent, the competition for rankings on the Fairy Beauty Ranking is far more intense than that on the Rising Star Ranking. Being able to squeeze into the top ten is enough to prove that Long Wanyan is exceptionally beautiful.

It's worth mentioning that the selection criteria for the Fairy Beauty Ranking are young women under 300 years old who are still unmarried and have cultivated Taoism. Some old monsters who have lived for countless years should not even think about pretending to be young to make it onto the list.

Both lists are from the "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivation," which, although not officially published by various sects or orthodox schools, are widely circulated among the people and have accurate positioning, often being read as after-dinner entertainment.

However, the "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivation" has not been updated for some time now, supposedly because its author is ranking the top ten people in the world across the Five Continents.

Ten people. The thirty spots on the Rising Stars List were already so coveted that young talents from all over the world were scrambling to get on the list, so the prestige of ten people goes without saying.

Of course, these matters are currently irrelevant to Xiao Yu. As far as he knows, the "Ten People Under Heaven" sounds impressive, but in the middle stage, the demon spies who cross the barrier specifically target and assassinate the "Ten People Under Heaven," using any means necessary.

That's not a good title at all!

The howling night wind carried the faint fragrance emanating from Long Wanyan. Under the moonlight, her shadow swayed back and forth, causing Xiao Yu to squint.

He... felt a little nauseous.

"Senior... do we really have to rush like this? I feel like my stomach can't take it."

As Xiao Yu's voice fell, Long Wanyan, who was walking on the wind by making hand seals, stopped in her tracks.

A dozen meters above the ground, Xiao Yu was carried on Long Wanyan's shoulder as if he were a corpse being carried.

Xiao Yu's body has not fully recovered. He can move, but only crawl. His limbs are weak, and it will take him a few more days to stand up and walk.

If you were to climb from the cave to the deep pool, it would take forever. By then, the Fengqiu Secret Realm would be over, and you wouldn't even have a chance to fight the dragon.

So they had no choice but to let Long Wanyan take him there. Xiao Yu's mobility issues didn't affect the rest of the plan much; the main problem was his natal flying sword.

Her smooth, fragrant shoulders pressed against Xiao Yu's stomach, bobbing up and down with Long Wanyan's movements. Xiao Yu's already not fully recovered stomach churned violently, and he almost vomited.

Fortunately, Long Wanyan has been feeding him Bigu Pills recently. They can fill his stomach, but they don't taste good or do any harm to his body. They just fill him up.

This is the reason why Xiao Yu had no choice but to protest.

Most importantly... as the night wind blew, Long Wanyan's long, smooth black hair swayed backward, with many ends wrapping around his face. Along the way, Xiao Yu had lost count of how many strands of Long Wanyan's hair he had swallowed.

If this continues, after we defeat the dragon and return, we won't need to feed him any fasting pills anymore; he'll be full just from eating hair.

"That's it..."

Upon hearing this, Long Wanyan thought for a moment. She didn't want too much physical contact with Xiao Yu. It wasn't that she disliked him, but Xiao Yu, whose entire body was filled with the essence of Yin, was very tempting to her, who was extremely Yang (referring to the kind of Yin-Yang balance and complementary spiritual power).

After thinking for a moment, Long Wanyan came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties: avoiding too much physical contact with Xiao Yu while also preventing Xiao Yu from suffering from carrying her on his shoulders.

In the hazy night, the figure on his shoulder tumbled and rolled, and after a spin, Xiao Yu was caught in Long Wanyan's arms, looking completely bewildered.

It's not the kind where there's a lot of physical contact, but rather a princess carry where the arms go through the neck and legs.

"How does this feel? Are you feeling less uncomfortable now?"

After doing all this, Long Wanyan looked down at Xiao Yu in her arms and asked.

From this angle, the little one in my arms does look rather petite and adorable.

Xiao Yu nodded subconsciously.

Without further ado, Long Wanyan led Xiao Yu on their way to the deep pool in the distance.

A cool night breeze whistled past, making a whooshing sound in my ears.

After realizing his current situation, Xiao Yu came to his senses, his face filled with shock.

In his lifetime, he... was actually carried in a princess carry by a woman.

By a woman...

Although the woman in front of him was much stronger than him, he had seen many princess carries before, and it was always the stronger one who carried the weaker one in her arms.

But... the genders are reversed, aren't they?

For a proud man, this is an immense humiliation.

Xiao Yu felt lost, but when he looked up at the pair of soft, swaying, and trembling "moons" in the sky...

He got it.

Actually, being carried in a woman's arms like a princess is the greatest romance for a man.

I must say, the moon tonight... is really round.

Under the crescent moon, all was quiet, clearly indicating that the night was deep and the moonlight was at its brightest.

The plan to subdue the dragons was simple: they thrived in that bottomless abyss, freely toying with Long Wanyan, who was at the Nascent Soul stage.

If we just seal off that deep pool, we can prevent them from leaping out of the water and never being able to return.

Xiao Yu's natal flying sword has such an effect, Mirror Flower Snow Moon. It can not only borrow the moonlight in the sky to make it its own, but also has a deep understanding of the way of ice and snow. Although it can't freeze thousands of miles, it can create ice out of thin air, let alone freeze a deep pool.

Long Wanyan had carefully investigated the deep pool where the dragon dwelled and found it to be no unique secret realm, but merely an ordinary deep pool with a slightly higher concentration of spiritual energy.

A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there; water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons that inhabit it.

Although it was just a dragon that had not yet transformed into a dragon, it would naturally cause subtle changes to the surrounding environment after staying in the deep pool for a long time.

Therefore, Long Wanyan was determined to succeed in this battle against the dragon.

However, the premise is... that the Nascent Soul Realm dragon mentioned by the system won't suddenly appear.

Chapter 51, Actually, besides sword cultivators and martial artists, I am also...

On the way to the deep pool, to prevent Long Wanyan from being caught off guard, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and kindly reminded her:

"Senior, look... the deep pool you mentioned can hold two dragons, could there be a Nascent Soul stage dragon hidden inside?"

"A Nascent Soul Realm dragon?" Long Wanyan's voice rose slightly, her long black hair flowing backward, revealing her delicate ears and her snow-white, soft profile as smooth as porcelain.
