Covering the Sky: I am the White Tiger Immortal Elixir

Chapter 118 Wait until my heartbeat slows down

This drop of demon emperor's dragon blood contained no scriptures, no secret techniques, only a vast and powerful will to reverse fate.

Yan Ruyu sat cross-legged beneath the dragon's blood, her black hair flying in the wind. With the help of the Azure Emperor's Heart, she slowly drew the drop of dragon's blood into herself.

The moment the dragon blood entered her body, a scene of swaying blue lotuses appeared behind Yan Ruyu.

This blue lotus, which was originally pure and ethereal, is now stained with a faint silver glow by the dragon's blood.

On the lotus petals, a silver phantom of a real dragon roamed, its head held high, as if it were about to break through the heavens.

Yan Ruyu's bones cracked all over, and behind her, a phantom of a blue lotus gradually transformed into a snow-white petal.

Like a blanket of silver frost, or like the condensation of moonlight.

That snowy white was so dazzling that it created a third color amidst the crimson glow and the blue lotus.

After a long while, Yan Ruyu's breathing calmed down, and the snow-covered blue lotus behind her closed up and disappeared into the space between her brows.

Bai Qi looked at her: "How are you feeling?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Breaking the shackles of our ancestors' bloodline is not something that can be done overnight."

She said that this drop of dragon blood gave her a key to open the door, but she still had to walk the path behind it step by step.

At least until she achieves immortality through the third stage of the Immortal Path or becomes a saint, Yan Ruyu will be able to completely break free from the shackles of her bloodline.

Emperor Bingshen pondered: "If Bai Qi, after you attain enlightenment, you can bind the Dao within yourself and not affect the enlightenment of future generations, then she can truly transform."

"However, it is not an elixir of immortality, but a demigod's medicine, but it has ultimately broken the shackles of the Azure Emperor's bloodline."

"If Yan Xuan could know this from beyond the grave, he would be very pleased," the Emperor Weapon Deity sighed.

Yan Xuan, the progenitor of the Yan clan, was a being born from the blood of the Azure Emperor and the founder of the Yan Ruyu lineage.

Yan Ruyu looked at Bai Qi, her eyes bright, like the lush grass of Jiangnan in early spring, or the vibrant flowers and fluttering birds of summer, possessing all that could be called beautiful in the world: "Now that you're here, has the matter with the Wang family been resolved?"

Emperor Bingshen wisely withdrew his divine sense and left the Dragon Cave with the Azure Emperor's heart.

Only two people remained in the Dragon Cave, where the sound of dripping water could be heard; it was very quiet.

Bai Qi plopped down next to Yan Ruyu.

"The legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor was given to Nangong Zheng, and that old crane only agreed to join the Heavenly Court."

"The matter of Kitahara is settled. The remaining major cities are not a threat and can be taken over gradually."

"After that, I'll probably go to the Arctic, dig out some Arctic celestial light, and then try to get involved in a celestial tribulation in the starry sky."

"Oh, Wushi Zhong said that there is the palace of the Great Emperor Wushi in Lizhou, which contains Chaos Stones that can be used to overcome the Chaos Calamity."

""

Bai Qi rambled on and on, much of his talk consisting of meaningless drivel, but Yan Ruyu enjoyed listening to him.

A graceful and beautiful young woman, with a delicate and refined appearance. At the age of nineteen, she shines like the moon in the east.

Her skin was naturally smooth and supple, her cheeks radiant with a delicate glow. Her jade-like eyes shone brightly, like lotus blossoms reflected in clear water.

She was graceful and elegant, dressed in simple clothes, her figure swaying in the breeze. Her light skirts fluttered in the wind, and her delicate steps created wisps of smoke.

Her eyes sparkled with life, her lowered brows were equally beautiful. A tender whisper escaped her lips, a smile preceding her words.

The beginning of love often starts with just a glance, and from then on, the feelings are deeply ingrained and the seeds of affection are sown.

From wanting to look at it more, to wanting to look at it many times a day, to wanting to look at it alone many times.

From then on, it was a life of both depravity and joy.

Yan Ruyu still doesn't understand the unspeakable joys and sorrows of mutual support and the mutual tolerance that comes with it.

She watched Bai Qi speak quietly, occasionally responding with a word.

But when she suddenly recalls some embarrassing things, it's as if the flowers and plants have feelings, her heartbeat ripples on the spring water, and her cheeks turn red.

Even though she had so much to say, all Yan Ruyu blurted out was, "I'll go with you."

"Whether it's the North Pole or the starry sky, I'll follow you."

Even Yan Ruyu herself felt that saying this was a bit bold.

But she didn't lower her head or flinch; she just stared straight at Bai Qi, her eyes filled with moonlight.

Even a million-year-old little medicine spirit has a much thicker skin than a young girl.

Bai Qi extended his hand: "Okay, I'll take you to the Arctic to see the aurora borealis first."

Yan Ruyu did not hesitate and placed her hand on it.

Bai Qi gripped her hand tightly and pulled her to her feet: "Leave now?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "I'll leave later."

Bai Qi did not loosen his grip.

Yan Ruyu did not pull it back.

The water dripping from the dragon cave made a sound like an echoing heartbeat: "What are you waiting for?"

Yan Ruyu mustered her courage, and then Bai Qi felt a warm, moist petal fall on his face.

"Wait for this."

"Let my heart beat slower too."

Outside the Dragon Cave, a large group of cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness had gathered, peering into the cave with eager eyes.

The Chaos Green Lotus blocked the cave entrance with the Devouring Demon Jar, and no matter who came, it was no use; they simply wouldn't let anyone in.

No one knows how much time had passed, but when Bai Qi walked out holding Yan Ruyu's hand, the crowd instantly erupted in excitement.

"I knew something was definitely wrong with Dongzun and Princess Yan!"

"That's obvious. I saw it when Dongzun rescued Princess Yan at the Xuan Yuan Sect!"

"Come on, Dong Zun was shouting for battle, but you've made it sound like you're shouting for love. You should see a pharmacist to check your ears."

The cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness chattered amongst themselves, their mouths darting back and forth between Bai Qi and Yan Ruyu, their eyes constantly scanning each other.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo sidled up to Hua Yunfei and urged him to find a suitable tune to play.

Bai Qi was very natural, and Yan Ruyu was also poised and generous. Their fingers were intertwined, and they did not show any awkwardness despite the gazes of others.

"The Eastern Lord said," Yan Ruyu laughed, "that those major cities in the Northern Plains belong to whoever conquers them; the Tiger Heart Society won't take an inch."

"In the upcoming purge, Tiger Heart Society will not compete with you for profits; its primary focus will be on honing the skills of Zhou Tian Xing Shu and the Four Heavenly Kings."

The cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness's eyes instantly reddened: "Princess Yan, are you serious?"

"The Eastern Venerable's words are as good as gold; when have he ever broken his promise to you all?" Yan Ruyu retorted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd.

The cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness roared and transformed into streaks of divine light, scattering in all directions many times faster than when they arrived.

Some people even started calling out to their friends in mid-air, their telepathic communication rising and falling, creating a lively atmosphere like a bustling market.

"Old Li, stop fighting those people over the Golden Family's land, come and take down Snow City!"

"What? You're asking what else the Eastern Lord wants? What could the Eastern Lord possibly want? Just hurry up and get on with it!"

"This time we'll follow the Heavenly King of Calamity among the Four Heavenly Kings. With two protectors from the Tai Shi Eight Desolations, we can just push forward!"

'

Ye Fan, the Heavenly Prince, Ji Shaoyue, and others also led their respective armies toward the other major cities of the Northern Plains.

Bai Qi spread his golden crow wings, embraced Yan Ruyu's waist, and flew towards the North Pole.

The Chaos Green Lotus followed slowly behind the two.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you," Yan Ruyu said frankly, "I used to only dare to look from afar, and last time I only dared to peek."

"This time we can finally do it openly and honestly."

Now that we're closer, I've noticed you're not quite the same as before.

"What's different?"

"I used to think of it as a mountain, cold and unapproachable."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "I only just realized that there are flowers and grass, and flowing streams in the mountains too."

Are you praising me or insulting me?

"I praise you." Yan Ruyu's gaze was like peach blossoms falling on spring water.

"Praise you as a vibrant spring mountain, not a barren wasteland where not a blade of grass grows."

"If those who died at my hands heard you say that, they'd probably crawl out of their coffins and curse you."

"Let them curse, I'll say mine." Yan Ruyu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and reached out to put her arm around Bai Qi's neck, her whole being resembling a crescent moon reflected on a lake.
