The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

She could feel that because she had activated her dragon girl form, the dragon energy had aggravated the poison, and now it was becoming uncontrollable.

The fight was probably over, but looking at Chen Xuan, who was equally exhausted, she was filled with guilt and resentment. "Chen Xuan, it's all my fault for dragging you down..." she said weakly, her voice barely audible.

Chen Xuan gripped his longsword tightly, standing in front of Long Qingwan, panting heavily as he said, "Auntie, don't say such things. We'll definitely get through this!"

"Don't...don't call me aunt anymore? I've already..." Long Qingwan shuddered again.

“Okay, Auntie, you go and rest for now, I'll cover your retreat!” Chen Xuan said, then stepped forward with his sword.

Long Qingwan looked at Chen Xuan, who was fighting hard against the monster, and felt ashamed.

She felt like a burden at that moment, unable to help and even putting Chen Xuan in danger.

The moment she thought about how useless she was, the toxins in her body seemed to find an opportunity and began to invade her body again.

Long Qingwan's vision went black, and she almost fainted. She struggled to stay awake with her remaining consciousness, but her body trembled uncontrollably, her legs went weak, and she could barely stand.

"Aunt Qingwan!" Chen Xuan noticed Long Qingwan's unusual behavior out of the corner of his eye and was extremely anxious. He dodged the monster's attack and quickly approached her.

Just then, the dragon beast seized the brief opening between the two and suddenly unleashed a torrent of dragon flames, completely sealing off their escape route. The scorching dragon flames, accompanied by rolling heat waves, rushed towards them, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Long Qingwan forced herself to lift her head, only to find that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand to defend herself.

The poison had already eroded most of her meridians, and her immortal power was rapidly dissipating. She watched as Chen Xuan repeatedly put himself in danger to protect her, tears welling in her eyes.

"Chen Xuan, don't worry about me..." Long Qingwan's voice was weak and her breath was barely coming out. "It's my fault that you're in this situation. You should find a way to leave on your own."

Chen Xuan wouldn't listen to her. While brandishing his longsword to fend off the flames, he shouted, "Auntie, don't talk nonsense! We came in together, so we'll definitely get out together!"

However, the dragon flames drew ever closer, and the roar of the dragon beast grew increasingly deafening.

Chen Xuan deliberately pretended that his physical strength was being rapidly depleted.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, he gradually felt powerless. But whenever he thought of the weakened Long Qingwan behind him, he gritted his teeth and forced himself not to collapse.

The image of her forcing herself to stand firm for her own sake was deeply etched into Long Qingwan's mind.

"Chen Xuan..."

"Ding! Long Qingwan's favorability +30!"

"Auntie, don't worry. I'll risk my life to make sure you're safe and sound. You can rest assured!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he hugged Long Qingwan tightly, their bodies pressed together.

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Feeling Chen Xuan's strong heartbeat, Long Qingwan's gaze gradually became infatuated.

After all, she was currently suffering from a rare poison, and the masculine aura emanating from Chen Xuan was a potent poison to her.

"Ding! Long Qingwan's favorability +10!"

Demon Dragon Beast: "..."

The next moment, Long Qingwan forced herself to cheer up, and the power within her surged again, this time even stronger than before.

Her dragon energy can activate poison, but this poison only affects her consciousness and does not impair her physical functions. Therefore, before Long Qingwan completely loses consciousness, she still has the ability to fight.

Without a second thought, she instinctively unleashed her power towards the demonic dragon beast. In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot from Long Qingwan's palm, hurtling straight at the demonic dragon beast.

The Demon Dragon Beast seemed to sense the threat of this power, and its frenzied attack rhythm paused briefly.

Chen Xuan noticed this change and immediately gripped his longsword, echoing the power released by Long Qingwan, launching another attack on the demonic dragon beast. With their combined strength, the demonic dragon beast gradually lost ground, and wounds began to appear on its body.

"Xuan'er, let's finish this quickly. My move will soon lose its effect on it!"

"it is good!"

During a lull in the battle, Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing their worry and concern.

Looking at the dust and bloodstains on Chen Xuan's face, Long Qingwan felt a pang of heartache. She gently wiped them away, and Chen Xuan took her hand in return, looking at the dragon scales on her arm, and gently squeezed them, silently conveying strength and comfort.

"Ding! Long Qingwan's favorability +10!"

Demon Dragon Beast: "..."

As the battle continued, the Demon Dragon Beast completely broke free from Long Qingwan's control. Seemingly provoked by the two of them, its attacks became increasingly frenzied, as if it wanted to end the battle quickly!

But Long Qingwan didn't care at this moment. She had no mind to think. All she knew was that her dependence on Chen Xuan was growing stronger.

Every time danger came, Chen Xuan would always shield her without hesitation, which truly moved her.

With Long Qingwan's support, Chen Xuan fought even more fiercely, and almost killed the Demon Dragon Beast several times!

The two worked together more and more seamlessly, as if they were telepathically connected.

Demon Dragon Beast: "..."

When the demonic dragon finally let out a defiant roar and was killed by the two of them, collapsing to the ground with a thud, Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan were both exhausted.

They supported each other and slowly sat down on the ground. Long Qingwan leaned on Chen Xuan's shoulder, feeling his warm body temperature, her heart filled with sweetness and peace.

"Chen Xuan, thank you," Long Qingwan said softly, her voice tinged with shyness.

Chen Xuan turned his head and looked at Long Qingwan, his eyes full of tenderness: "Auntie, we promised to go out together. No matter what happens in the future, I will never let you get hurt again."

"Ding! Long Qingwan's favorability +10!"

Long Qingwan nodded slightly, her cheeks flushed. She suddenly realized that her feelings for Chen Xuan had transformed into a more complex and profound emotion.

Looking at Long Qingwan's shy appearance, Chen Xuan's heart was stirred. He knew that this delicious dragon girl feast was about to enter his stomach.

Just as Chen Xuan reached out to hug Long Qingwan, and Long Qingwan unconsciously placed her hand on Chen Xuan's chest due to the toxins in her body, a deep and deafening dragon roar came from afar.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred and distorted by an invisible force. The two men's expressions changed drastically, and they stared straight in the direction from which the sound came.

A much larger dragon-like creature slowly emerged from the darkness, its body radiating a ghostly blue light, its scales shimmering with a cold, icy gleam, each scale the size of a shield.

Its eyes were like two burning eerie flames, filled with endless majesty and a sense of oppression.

Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute look in each other's eyes.

Despite their exhaustion, they stood up again. Chen Xuan gripped his longsword tightly, while Long Qingwan gathered the remaining power within her.
