Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

As night fell on the official road, several sharp arrows pierced the silent night sky.

Dressed in dark blue men's clothing, Long Chuqing rode a fast horse. She gripped the reins tightly, turned around, raised her right hand and raised the long whip, sweeping it out and knocking down several arrows flying towards her.

The horse galloped swiftly, arrows raining down from behind. In no time, she managed to deflect several more waves of arrows. This attack was so fierce that it caught her completely off guard.

"Whoa..." The horse came to a sudden stop, its front hooves leaping high, the sound of its hooves echoing loudly.

The horse paced restlessly in place, clearly frightened. Long Chuqing held the reins firmly on the horse's back, and the attack immediately ceased.

The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind, and the quiet atmosphere around them also gave a sense of impending danger.

Ahead stood a man holding a silver spear, his hands behind his back. He wore a white robe with gold trim, the lapels and cuffs embroidered with exquisite patterns. A jade-inlaid ribbon was tied around his waist, and his hair was tied up high in an elegant white jade crown. He was tall and handsome, yet dignified.

"So it's General Qianyang! It's been a long time, perhaps several hundred years! How have you been?"

Long Chuqing sat on horseback, looking at his former friend with mixed feelings. This time, he had not come to see her, but to capture her.

When Long Chuqing had her accident, the Demon Realm was invading. He was sent to fight against the Demon Realm, and when he returned, she had already disappeared without a trace.

He made inquiries from various sources, but they all said they knew nothing about it and didn't know where she had gone. Later, rumors circulated that she had colluded with the demon realm and had defected after being discovered, leading to various accusations and insults.

He didn't believe it and mobilized all his connections to search for her, but to no avail.

Centuries have passed, and many things have faded, been forgotten, and no one mentions them anymore.

"Reporting to the Empress, we have discovered traces of Long Chuqing in a dynasty called Southern Jin."

"Pass on my order: Qianyang and Yinxiao are to go and capture her."

“Yes…” The heavenly soldier immediately accepted the order and withdrew.

When he received the mission, he was shocked and flustered, but he knew that if he didn't go, someone else would be sent. He also wanted to see her.

"Chu Qing, where have you been all these years? How have you been? I've searched the entire Three Realms, but I can't find you anywhere."

Upon seeing her again after many years, Qianyang was extremely excited. He had many questions he wanted to answer. Although no one in the Heavenly Realm mentioned her anymore, or even remembered her, he had never forgotten her.

"Back then, the gods in Tiandu were all saying that you colluded with the demon realm and then defected. I didn't believe it. Tell me it's not true, right?" So many years have passed, and he desperately wants an answer.

“No…” Long Chuqing replied coldly, her tone firm and unwavering.

Qianyang immediately let go of the doubts and worries that had been weighing on her heart for many years, and smiled knowingly, "I knew you wouldn't."

“Come back with me, and I will explain things to the Heavenly Emperor and Empress together,” he thought that any misunderstanding could be resolved. He was being too naive.

Back then, when he heard others slandering her, he tried to reason with them, but his words were no match for a thousand malicious insults.

Long Chuqing sat high on his horse, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He said lightly, "Go back! Explain! But we can't go back. What happened back then can't be explained?"

Because no one would believe it. Under the high authority of the Empress Dowager, who would believe a mere goddess? Under such power, there might not even be a chance to explain, just like back then.

"Do you know that the master you serve is hypocritical, shameless, and treacherous...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a cold light flashed, and more than a dozen heavenly soldiers dressed in black armor leaped up from all sides, wielding swords and slashing at the horse's back. Several sword energies imbued with magical power were aimed directly at Long Chuqing.

She coiled her spiritual energy around her long whip, bent back, and used the whip to deflect the approaching sword energy. Then she dismounted, gave her horse a light spur, and the horse, in pain, galloped forward and disappeared into the night.

The heavenly soldiers attacked again. Long Chuqing, wielding a long whip, swiftly launched an attack, and a fierce battle unfolded on the official road under the night sky.

The long whip imbued with spiritual power slashed across the sword, producing a piercing metallic clang. She leaped into the air, lashing out with the whip, striking a celestial soldier. His armor instantly shattered, leaving a bloody gash on his body.

She casually lashed out at another heavenly soldier, the whip coiling around his body like a serpent. Long Chuqing tightened her grip on the whip, and then heard a scream.

She tightened the whip and flung the heavenly soldier away, sending him hurtling into the other heavenly soldiers.

The whip danced like a phantom in the night sky. The heavenly soldiers were no match for Long Chuqing. The whip nimbly lashed at them, and in a moment they all fell to the ground, unable to move.

A sharp spear thrust towards Long Chuqing. She quickly retreated, dodged, and used the whip in her hand to block the spear.

She turned and stood up, finally seeing the man with the gun clearly.

“Yin Xiao,” Long Chuqing stared at the person in front of him.

He was dressed in golden armor, his hair tied high in a golden crown, the standard attire of a Heavenly Court general. He had a domineering appearance and an imposing presence. Yin Xiao was the Left General of the Heavenly Capital, wielding heavy troops and showing no mercy, directly obeying the Heavenly Emperor and Empress.

“Dragon Girl, I am not Qianyang, and we have no past relationship. The Empress's order is to capture you and bring you back. If you resist, then… kill…”

Yin Xiao pointed his spear at Long Chuqing and said coldly. At the same time, another group of heavenly soldiers appeared behind him, even more than before.

Long Chuqing looked up at the night sky, frowned, and looked serious.

It's a full moon night, and she's already starting to feel unwell. She has to shake them off and leave this place before the moon is fully up.

Long Chuqing looked at Yin Xiao and said coldly, "Then let's see if you have the ability."

As they spoke, the whip that Long Chuqing was holding transformed into a phoenix feather sword. The hilt was adorned with exquisite phoenix patterns, the blade gleamed with a cold light, and its body was enveloped in flame-like sword energy that slowly turned pale gold.

With the shifting sword energy, the man's clothing transformed into women's clothing, and the unremarkable male face became a cold and beautiful woman.

She wore a cream-colored silk robe, her sleeves fluttering lightly. The collar, front opening, and cuffs were embroidered with exquisite dark patterns in gold thread. A matching belt cinched her waist, and her hair was half-tied up with a light gauze ribbon. There were no extra decorations on her head except for a single phoenix hairpin, yet she possessed an ethereal beauty.

She was extremely beautiful, with an elegant demeanor, skin as smooth as jade, eyebrows and eyes like paintings, and red lips and white teeth. As the red dragon-shaped floral ornament appeared between her eyebrows, her true form was revealed.

With swords drawn, Long Chuqing and Yin Xiao clashed head-on. The two moved swiftly, their swords and spears clashing in mid-air, sparks flying.

The Phoenix Feather Sword was enveloped in pale golden spiritual energy, while Yin Xiao's Silver Whisper Cloud Spear was enveloped in pale blue spiritual energy. The two forces were particularly evident under the night sky, fiercely confronting each other.

Yin Xiao's spear came flying, and Long Chuqing blocked it with her sword. Both of them were very strong. The sword and spear collided, making a piercing sound, accompanied by a powerful aura of spiritual energy. Then, both of them were knocked back and took a few steps back.

Yin Xiao was shocked by her powerful spiritual energy. He knew that when she left the Heavenly Realm, she was just a lowly goddess with weak spiritual energy. He never expected that she would grow so quickly in just a few hundred years.

He had thought the arrest would be a piece of cake, but now it seems it will take some effort.

The two stared at each other, their auras imposing. Both were focused on their opponent's movements, trying to find an opening. The other heavenly soldiers could not get close, for fear of being caught in the sword energy.

It must be said that Yin Xiao is a very strong opponent, but now is not a good time to compete; we must finish this quickly.

She took two steps back, placed her sword in front of her, crossed her hands to form a hand seal, circulated her spiritual power, and with a light flick of her fingertips, the Phoenix Feather Sword hovered in the air, transforming into countless swords. With a wave of her hand, all the swords flew towards Yin Xiao and the heavenly soldiers.

The clanging and clashing of weapons mingled with cries of agony, echoing through the night sky. Most of the heavenly soldiers were wounded and fell to the ground, and Yin Xiao was also grazed in several places by the sword energy.

Yin Xiao was annoyed. He hadn't expected her to be so capable. He had really underestimated her and hadn't taken her seriously at all before.

While they were busy parrying the sword, Long Chuqing swung his sword at Yin Xiao again. Yin Xiao was caught off guard, and just as he was about to be stabbed, "clang!" Qian Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, came in with his spear and blocked the sword.

"You've made your move? So you're ultimately going to be my enemy?" Long Chuqing took a step back and said coldly.

“Chu Qing…” Qian Yang looked at her with mixed feelings.

"Needless to say, you have your stance, and I have my life. We are destined to stand on opposite sides in the future."

"I don't want to be your enemy, but if we fight, I won't hold back, and you don't need to show any mercy either."

Long Chuqing pointed his sword at Qianyang and spoke indifferently.

The night breeze lifted the hem of her dress, her sleeves fluttering, like a dream. She stood there, like a proud plum blossom in the cold, breathtakingly beautiful.
