195: Excited Liu Erlong

“Bang!”

Liu Erlong's charge, filled with urgency and power, struck the seemingly soft light barrier squarely.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a dull thud.

The light barrier was incredibly resilient, like the finest gum, not only instantly absorbing Liu Erlong's immense forward momentum but also generating a gentle yet irresistible rebound force that steadily pushed her back.

Liu Erlong staggered back a few steps before steadying herself, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

She looked up and saw a woman's figure, dressed in a plain dress, slowly emerging and solidifying in the center of the giant Blue Silver Grass.

The woman had a graceful figure and a gentle, pure temperament that seemed otherworldly. Her blue hair flowed like a river of stars, cascading softly behind her, and her clear, lake-like eyes, currently held a hint of surprise and wariness as they quietly watched her.

The Soul Power fluctuations emanating from the woman were not violent, but vast and profound, carrying an incredibly rich life aura, perfectly integrated with this forest and this lake.

“A 100,000-year Spirit Beast transforming?!”

Liu Erlong's pupils constricted, instantly recognizing the other party's identity.

Blue Silver Grass... such a powerful life aura... it was the Blue Silver Emperor.

An alarm blared in her heart, and her Fire Dragon Spirit instantly roared, crimson flames uncontrollably rising from her body, and the surrounding air temperature rapidly increased.

A Titled Douluo-level Bibi Dong was already dangerous enough, plus an unfathomable 100,000-year Spirit Beast Blue Silver Emperor! Had Chrysanthemum Douluo led her here... a trap?!

“Who are you? Intruding here, what is your intention?”

Ah Yin's voice was like a flowing spring, calm yet carrying an inviolable majesty.

Her gaze swept over the now extremely bright golden Soul Power chrysanthemum in Liu Erlong's hand, then looked at the stern-faced Bibi Dong, with a questioning look.

The moment Liu Erlong charged forward to question her, Bibi Dong's body instinctively entered a state of alert, a faint, almost invisible, chilling Soul Power swirling around her fingertips.

But when Ah Yin intervened to block, and the Soul Power chrysanthemum belonging to Yue Guan in Liu Erlong's hand flared brightly, her taut body slowly relaxed.

The cold sharpness in her purple eyes had not receded, but a hint of understanding and scrutiny was added.

She looked at Liu Erlong, gently pushed away by the Blue Silver Domain, and saw the unconcealed urgency and worry burning like a fierce flame on her, especially the deep longing for Mo Yuhan's whereabouts in her crimson eyes, which was almost bursting forth.

Bibi Dong slowly spoke, her voice clear and cold, like jade striking together, distinctly penetrating the crackling of the flames burning on Liu Erlong's body:

“Liu Erlong?”

Her gaze fell on Liu Erlong's dark red combat attire and fiery red hair, “Did Yue Guan send you?”

She recognized herself.

Liu Erlong's heart trembled, the flames slightly receded, but her vigilance remained: “It’s me! Tell me, where is Mo Yuhan? Is he still alive?!”

“He is certainly alive.”

Bibi Dong's answer was without any hesitation, crisp and decisive, as if stating a simple fact. These five words, however, were like a basin of ice water, instantly extinguishing most of the violent flames on Liu Erlong.

Alive... he really is still alive!

A huge, indescribable surge of ecstasy and relief instantly broke through Liu Erlong's tightly strung defenses, leaving her heroic face momentarily blank and bewildered, then immense excitement made her body tremble slightly.

The heavy, almost suffocating boulder that had been pressing on her heart was finally moved away.

“Where is he?!” Liu Erlong urgently pressed, her voice carrying a barely perceptible choke.

“He has temporarily left.”

Bibi Dong's voice remained calm, but in the depths of her purple eyes, a subtle ripple also flickered, “He has his path to walk, his things to do. After restoring my strength and improving my cultivation, he left the Star Dou Great Forest.

I do not know his specific whereabouts.”

Left? Unsure of his whereabouts? The surge of joy that had just arisen was instantly replaced by immense disappointment and new worries.

The excitement on Liu Erlong's face solidified, replaced by deep confusion and a hint of anger at being kept in the dark.

“Left? Where did he go? Why did he leave? Does he know that Qian Xunji's pawns are searching for him across the World?!”

A barrage of questions slammed into Bibi Dong like a cannon.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly; Liu Erlong's almost accusatory tone displeased her somewhat.

The dignity of a Titled Douluo was not to be slighted.

“Miss Liu,” Ah Yin interjected at the opportune moment, her voice gentle, carrying a calming power, like a spring breeze sweeping across a parched field.

“Yu Han's departure naturally has a reason he must leave. He is not escaping, but going to fulfill his path, to face what he must face.”

Her blue eyes looked sincerely at Liu Erlong, “What we can do is trust him, guard everything he left behind, and await his return.”

“Trust? Wait?”

Liu Erlong's crimson eyes looked at Ah Yin, then sharply turned to Bibi Dong, her tone carrying a hint of suppressed excitement and confusion, “You just let him face that madman Qian Xunji alone out there? Do you know how dangerous he is?! He saved my life!

I, Liu Erlong, am not an ungrateful person! I joined Spirit Hall, enduring all that nonsense, precisely to find him, to see him alive or his corpse if he was dead!

Now you tell me he's alive but his whereabouts are unknown? And you want me to just wait here?”

The flames on her body rose again, indicating the intense fluctuations within her.

Her feelings for Mo Yuhan were extremely complex: gratitude for saving her life, admiration for his composure beyond his years, and an indescribable closeness and concern that arose after experiencing life-and-death crises together.

This concern, during the agony of searching for him, had long fermented into something even stronger.

Now, knowing he was alive but missing, how could she wait peacefully?

“I understand your feelings.”

Bibi Dong's voice resonated, carrying a strange penetrative power that instantly quelled Liu Erlong's turbulent emotions.

She took a step forward, her moon-white figure appearing exceptionally noble and powerful against the backdrop of the ink-jade-like lake water.

Her purple eyes stared directly into Liu Erlong's flame-burning eyes, her gaze seemingly capable of piercing through one's heart.

“But impulsiveness and questioning solve nothing. Yu Han's choice to leave alone has his own considerations. What he left behind is not just my power.”
