Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Seeing this, Wei Ying no longer refused and could only sit cross-legged to regulate his breathing, mobilizing the spiritual energy within the dragon-patterned bracelet on his wrist to assist in the absorption of the elixir and accelerate his own recovery. The dragon-patterned bracelet emitted a faint fluorescence, which resonated with the spiritual energy within Wei Ying's body, forming a subtle cycle.

Lan Wangji stood guard beside Wei Ying, his expression focused and serious. He slowly extended a hand and gently placed it on Wei Ying's shoulder, slowly transferring his spiritual power into Wei Ying's body to help him recover faster.

Xue Yang, on the other hand, carefully observed his surroundings, ensuring there were no other threats. His brow furrowed as he thought to himself: This place shouldn't be a long time away. We must quickly find a safe place for our brother to recuperate.

However, his spiritual sense was limited in range and he was unable to find a suitable place, and his senior brother was currently unable to act.

Xue Yang had no choice but to take out the spirit stone and begin to set up the formation. Then, still uneasy, he kept changing the seals in his hands and chanted, "Dragon God's Pardon Order—Seal the barrier, activate!"

As Xue Yang finished his words, a pale golden barrier rapidly expanded around the three of them, sealing off the surrounding space. Within the barrier, the air seemed to freeze, isolating any external interference, leaving only tranquility.

Lan Wangji continued to guard Wei Ying, pouring spiritual energy into him to help him recover faster. Wei Ying's complexion gradually improved, his pale face began to regain color, and his breathing gradually became steady.

After setting up the barrier and formation, Xue Yang did not relax his vigilance. He continued to remain alert to ensure that no threats were missed.

Lan Wangji and Xue Yang spent the entire night in a state of nervous anxiety. It was not until the afternoon of the following day that Wei Ying slowly opened his eyes after regulating his breathing. His complexion had turned from its initial paleness to a rosy hue, and his spiritual energy had also recovered.

Wei Ying took a deep breath, feeling the gradual return of his spiritual energy, and silently felt thankful. He was thankful for the dragon-patterned bracelet his uncle had given him. This Void Technique was incredibly draining, not only draining his spiritual energy but also damaging his meridians. If it weren't for the dragon-patterned bracelet's ability to quickly replenish his spiritual energy, he would have been in grave danger.

He slowly stood up, and Lan Wangji and Xue Yang immediately surrounded him, their eyes full of concern. "Wei Ying, how are you feeling?" Lan Wangji asked anxiously. Xue Yang also echoed, "Yes, Brother, you scared us."

Wei Ying smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He looked around and found that they were in an unfamiliar environment, and he couldn't help but feel a little wary.

He commented humorously, "Lan Zhan, we always seem to be changing places. Every day we are either on the run or being hunted!"

After hearing this, Lan Wangji's eyes showed a sense of loss: he never expected that he would be so powerless. Not only was he unable to protect Wei Ying, but Wei Ying had to protect him instead, and he was even injured as a result.

Wei Ying seemed to see the remorse in Lan Wangji's heart. He patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Lan Zhan, don't be like this. We are all fine. Besides, haven't you been protecting me all the time? Aren't we friends? It's only natural that we support each other."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly, but the disappointment in his eyes had not completely dissipated. He knew that he had to become stronger in order to better protect Wei Ying.

Xue Yang, standing by, truly felt like a superfluous figure, secretly complaining in his heart: "Senior Brother was injured, and it was all Lan Zhan's fault for being so attentive. I obviously contributed too!" But then he thought again, and realized that he really couldn't help much at critical moments, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

He coughed lightly, trying to attract Wei Ying's attention: "Ahem, Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

After hearing this, Wei Ying said with a somewhat playful expression, "Ayang! Even your senior brother doesn't know what to do! We can only take it one step at a time. If we can fight, then fight. If we can't, then retreat. The key is to avoid being at a disadvantage."

Xue Yang: "Alright!" Xue Yang removed the barrier and formation, and the three of them continued their journey to explore the secret realm.

At the same time, Meng Yao and Fen Hua were still searching for Wei Ying and his companions, neither of them realizing that they were carrying missing person discs for tracking.

Suddenly, they heard two familiar voices coming from not far ahead.

"Wen Ruohan, be gentler, it hurts... it hurts... you're too rough!"

"Or, you can do it yourself?" The voices came one after another, continuously, like a radio playing in a loop.

Meng Yao's mouth twitched, and she turned around and walked over there with Fen Hua. When she got closer, she saw that it was Wen Ruohan, Qing Hengjun, and Nie Mingjue.

Qing Hengjun stood guard not far away, while Wen Ruohan, holding a medicine bottle, was applying medicine to Nie Mingjue's back. Nie Mingjue's face showed pain, as if he was dissatisfied with Wen Ruohan's "rough" method.

Meng Yao and Fen Hua exchanged a glance, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes. They hadn't expected to run into Wen Ruohan, Nie Mingjue, and Qing Hengjun here, and they hadn't expected to witness such a scene.

Qing Hengjun also saw Meng Yao and Fen Hua and was slightly surprised, but then smiled: "What a coincidence, Master Meng and Master Fen."

Meng Yao and Fen Hua: "Sect Master Lan."

Qing Hengjun nodded slightly, his eyes moving between Meng Yao and Fen Hua, a bit of inquiry in his eyes. "My two lords, are you with Young Master Wei and the others?"

Meng Yao paused for a moment, then said, "No. Sect Master Lan, you are the first group of cultivators we have met."

When Qing Hengjun heard this, his expression changed slightly: "I see."

Wen Ruohan carefully applied ointment to Nie Mingjue, then stood up and scanned Meng Yao and Fen Hua carefully. "We've met you, unexpectedly. Would you be willing to join us?"

Wen Ruohan hadn't been willing to raise the issue, as the dangers of this secret realm had surpassed their expectations. Not long ago, the three of them had barely managed to defeat a ferocious monster, and now, having more help meant more safety. That's why Wen Ruohan invited Meng Yao and Fen Hua to join their team.

Meng Yao and Fen Hua exchanged a glance, each seeing rejection in the other's eyes. "Sorry, Sect Leader Wen, we're used to being free and don't really like being constrained," Meng Yao politely declined Wen Ruohan's invitation.

Wen Ruohan heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he did not force it: "In that case, you two should take care of yourselves. The secret realm is full of dangers, so I hope you will be more careful."

Meng Yao and Fen Hua nodded slightly, said goodbye to Wen Ruohan and others, and turned to leave.
