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

He then unleashed his longsword, striking straight at Qianyang. The sword's light pierced the air, its momentum like a rainbow, each move deadly.

Long Chuqing showed him no mercy, and Qianyang fought back fiercely but did not attack.

How could he be her enemy? He didn't want to hurt her, but as she said, he also had his own stance and couldn't just do nothing.

Since the Empress sent him here, how can he explain himself if he does nothing?

As the two clashed, Long Chuqing suddenly paused in his sword-wielding motion.

Caught off guard, Qianyang reacted too late to stop her attack. What was originally a defensive move turned into a dangerous situation because of her pause. The spear thrust towards her and pierced straight into her left shoulder.

When Long Chuqing came to her senses, it was too late to defend herself. She hurriedly gripped the gun handle, dissipating some of her strength so that it wouldn't pierce her entire shoulder.

Qianyang stared at her blankly, at a loss for what to do. He had never intended to hurt her.

Long Chuqing frowned, sheathed his sword, drew his spear from his shoulder, and retreated. He then struck Qian Yang with a palm strike imbued with spiritual energy, but Qian Yang blocked it with his spear, creating distance between them.

What just happened? Why did my mind suddenly go blank? After a buzzing sound, I lost contact for a moment. Long Chuqing clutched his injured shoulder, recalling what had just happened.

Even if it's a full moon today, it's still early, how could this be?

Just as she was reminiscing, a series of clear bell sounds rang out, echoing in the night.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Long Chu clutched her head in anguish. The ringtone struck her very soul, causing her excruciating headache and leaving her feeling utterly disoriented.

“It’s the Soul-Capturing Bell…” She opened her eyes wide and panicked for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

Unexpectedly, Yin Xiao even brought the Soul-Suppressing Bell. He actually knew about her affairs. It must have been the Heavenly Empress who told him to bring the Soul-Suppressing Bell. He really thought of everything.

Long Chuqing suppressed her discomfort. No, she had to find a way. She couldn't let things continue like this, or she would be in his hands tonight.

She immediately sat down on the ground, smeared the blood from her shoulder with two fingers, and applied it to the dragon's head on her forehead, then cast a spell to gather spiritual power.

The light converged, forming a soft, pale golden radiance, clear yet hazy like mist, enveloping the body and gradually flowing into the space between the eyebrows, creating a barrier that reduced the interference of the bell's sound.

"Qingqing, are you alright? Let me help you." The phoenix hairpin on her head transformed into golden rays of light, which wrapped around Long Chuqing's head and then slowly flowed into Long Dian's body, helping her to calm her mind.

She must first calm herself down and then find a way to escape. The situation is unfavorable to her now, and she cannot stay any longer.

The sound of the Soul-Capturing Bell has no effect on ordinary people, but it causes unbearable pain to those who are missing their soul or spirit.

Long Chuqing is missing one soul, one spirit, and one thread (heavenly soul, vital energy, and emotional thread). Because she once took the Soul-Suppressing Grass, she will not experience any discomfort except when she loses her spiritual power on the night of the full moon.

Now, affected by the full moon and the Soul-Capturing Bell, they can't hold on for long. Before they completely lose their spiritual power, they must shake them off and escape this place.

Yin Xiao shook the Soul-Capturing Bell, and heavenly soldiers continued to attack Long Chuqing. The Phoenix Feather Sword transformed into human form, protecting her and fighting against the heavenly soldiers.

Qianyang turned to look at Yin Xiao, who was shaking the Soul-Capturing Bell, and then looked at Long Chuqing, her face full of confusion.

Why is this happening? The Soul-Capturing Bell is affecting Chu Qing; how is this possible?

Isn't the Soul-Capturing Bell only effective on those who lack a soul? When did Chu Qing lose her soul? Since Yin Xiao knows, then the Empress also knows, which is why she sent Yin Xiao with the Soul-Capturing Bell. At this moment, Qian Yang was filled with questions.

What happened to her back then is shrouded in mystery, and he is determined to find out. At this moment, Qianyang is overwhelmed with suspicion, complex emotions, and inner turmoil.

Since there are doubts, he cannot just stand by and do nothing.

He turned and attacked Yin Xiao, seizing the Soul-Capturing Bell before he could react.

"Are you crazy? Are you trying to help her?" Yin Xiao dodged to the side, but before he could stop him from snatching the item, he said fiercely.

Qianyang held the Soul-Capturing Bell in her hand, pondered for a moment, and looked at him firmly: "I won't stop you from continuing to capture her, but I won't allow you to use the Soul-Capturing Bell again."

"Fine! I'll definitely report you when we get back," Yin Xiao said angrily, glancing at Qian Yang before turning and attacking Long Chuqing, who was fighting with the heavenly soldiers.

Without the interference of the Soul-Capturing Bell, she felt much more relaxed, but the sound of the bell earlier still gave her a headache and made her dizzy. In addition, the injury to her shoulder and blood loss still affected her movements.

Yin Xiao attacked again, unleashing a sword aura imbued with powerful spiritual energy that struck the surrounding heavenly soldiers. Unable to withstand the powerful sword aura, they were all wounded and fell to the ground.

After unleashing his sword energy, Long Chuqing turned around and parried Yin Xiao's spear thrust, and the two resumed their fierce battle.

The heavenly soldiers rejoined the melee, and Long Chuqing was surrounded by flashing swords and shadows. After several rounds of fighting, she was also injured in several places.

As the sword and spear clashed, Yin Xiao twirled his silver spear, and Long Chuqing fought back with all her might. At this moment, Yin Xiao gripped the silver spear with her left hand to counterattack, while her right hand gathered spiritual power to attack Long Chuqing. In a panic, Long Chuqing retaliated with her left palm, but due to insufficient strength, she was immediately knocked away and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His left hand was also injured as a result, and if it weren't for the spiritual energy he gathered to protect it, his left hand would probably have been lost.

Yin Xiao stood there with a wicked smile, "Hmph... Surrender obediently and you'll avoid physical pain."

Long Chuqing struggled to his feet with his sword, half-kneeling. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at the night sky, and saw the moon rising. No wonder he was so weak.

Seeing the heavenly soldiers rushing towards her, she knew it was not safe to stay there any longer. She turned around, transformed into dragon energy, and flew into the forest.

"Chase after her! We can't let her get away!" Yin Xiao gave the order.

"yes".……"

The heavenly soldiers and Yin Xiao transformed into several streaks of white light and chased after them into the forest.

The official road, which had just been filled with the clash of swords, instantly returned to tranquility. Qianyang gazed in the direction where the group had disappeared, pondered for a moment, and then chased after them.

Due to excessive blood loss, coupled with the discomfort caused by the yin energy of the moon, Long Chuqing's flight was not fast.

Yin Xiao quickly caught up and fired a shot from mid-air. The shot, imbued with spiritual power, struck the dragon's back heavily. After a mournful dragon roar, Long Chuqing fell onto the grass and reverted to human form.

The blow was quite severe; Long Chuqing lay on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, coughing repeatedly...

"Qingqing, are you alright? Let me help you stop the bleeding," Feifeng said.

"I'm sorry, Qing, I couldn't protect you," Feng Yu said.

"I am fine."

"Do you think you can escape? Stop your futile resistance. As long as you come with me to see the Empress, I can make your suffering less." Yin Xiao then flew down, holding a long spear, and looked at Long Chuqing lying on the ground with disdain.

She forced herself to stand up. "Pah, you're just a despicable person who only knows how to use underhanded tricks."

"Stubborn fool, die!" The silver spear aimed straight at Long Chuqing's heart.

She swung her sword to deflect the attack, then turned and slashed at Yin Xiao's abdomen, leaving a long gash. Fortunately, Yin Xiao dodged in time, and the wound was not deep.

This angered Yin Xiao, who had lost his patience and roared at the arriving heavenly soldiers, "Set up the formation!"

The heavenly soldiers all leaped up and retreated in all directions, forming a formation around Long Chuqing while chanting incantations.

Yin Xiao covered his wound and said coldly, "Even without the Soul-Capturing Bell, there's still the Soul-Capturing Curse. There are plenty of ways to deal with you."

As the heavenly soldier continued chanting incantations, the Soul-Seizing Curse gnawed at her soul like millions of ants. Long Chuqing knelt on the ground, clutching her head in agony, feeling as if her soul was about to explode, be torn apart, and dissipate.

Fei Feng was helpless. She was weak, and they would be affected as well. After a while, she had no strength left to resist and collapsed to the ground, weak.

Just as Yin Xiao was about to step forward to arrest him, a white light suddenly appeared, carrying Long Chuqing out of the formation.

After getting away from the range of the Soul-Capturing Curse, Long Chuqing slowly woke up. "You're awake. Are you feeling better?" Qianyang carried her and quickly fled.

Seeing that it was Qianyang who saved her from escape, she felt complicated: "Cough cough... You shouldn't have intervened. How will you explain this when you get back? Put me down quickly, and leave before Yin Xiao finds out that you saved me."

"When I get back, I will report to the Empress that you did not collude with the Demon Realm and ask her to reinvestigate."

After listening, Long Chu grabbed his collar and said urgently, "No, you mustn't get involved in this. When you get back, don't ask anything or say anything."

"You shouldn't get involved; it could be dangerous."

“But if we don’t find out the truth, there will be endless pursuers. Since you are innocent, I can’t watch you wander outside and live a life on the run.” Qianyang looked at Long Chuqing, who was covered in wounds in his arms, and said with heartache and determination.

"Cough cough... Don't worry, they won't find me so easily. I've been living quite comfortably these past few years, and no one in the human world can bully me."

Qianyang frowned and said worriedly, "But I'm not at ease." He knew her; she only reported good news and never bad.

She used to be so innocent and carefree, but now she worries about his situation and has to face hardship alone. Qianyang felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
