After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Cang Yao carried Lin Chu over the reefs and left that area of ​​the sea.

She immediately forced the true dragon essence blood she had just condensed from her heart, and carefully used her magic to send the essence blood to Lin Chu's lips, feeding it to him.

Lin Chu swallowed the drop of blood, her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes a crack.

"How are you?" Cang Yao's voice trembled. "Are you feeling any better?"

Seeing the anxiety on her face, Lin Chu used the last bit of her energy to recover.

"It seems... it hasn't been absorbed yet." His voice was soft, with a hint of a smile.

"The essence of the true dragon is such a powerful substance, it needs to be given some time by the body."

Hearing Lin Chu's voice, which seemed to have regained some energy, Cang Yao nodded vigorously and flew more steadily.

Lin Chu shifted on his back, finding a more comfortable position, and then began to speak.

He spoke very slowly, pausing between each sentence, as if he was saying whatever came to mind.

He said that little girl loves braised pork hock, and he should remember to make it for her during holidays and festivals.

He said that Yu Qian had followed him for decades, all the way from Shigou County to the capital, and was a reliable person; he could contact him if he needed anything in the future.

It is said that Shen Mingyuan is calm and steady, while Gu Changfeng is meticulous and thoughtful. The two complement each other and are bound to achieve great things in the future.

Also, the locust tree in the yard needs to be pruned every spring, otherwise the branches will grow into a mess and block out the light in the whole yard.

Remember to pull the grass off Mr. Chen's grave regularly. He loved cleanliness and would be unhappy if his grave was messy.

"I don't want to hear this," Cang Yao's voice rang out, as stubborn as a stone.

Lin Chu smiled but didn't reply.

After a while, he asked, "How are your injuries?"

"The new dragon body is recovering quickly," Cang Yao said. "It's almost healed. But you—" She paused, "Don't talk. Save your energy."

She was still very worried.

"Don't worry, I'm protected by good fortune, I'm fine. I want to hear what you have to say," Lin Chu said.

Cang Yao snorted, "Alright then."

She said that once Lin Chu had absorbed the essence and blood and recovered, they would get married.

We need to invite Lin Yue, Ya'er, Shen Mingyuan, Gu Changfeng, Yu Qian, as well as Long Ting's Xiao Xiao, the teacher, and a few familiar friends.

We'll have Xiaoxiao be our bridesmaid; she's been waiting for this day for so long.

After pausing, and noticing the lack of response from the person on her back, she snorted and raised her voice slightly: "Don't you want to marry me?"

"I do, my wife," Lin Chu's voice drifted from behind, soft and tinged with laughter.

Cang Yao's ears turned red, and she muttered, "We're not officially married yet."

Then she started saying, "Oh right, we should have the teacher witness it." Although she didn't say it aloud, she was sure she was very happy.

Cang Yao continued speaking, her voice gradually becoming lighter and more cheerful.

"I can also take you to see the Dragon Court. I don't think you've been there yet. The Coral Palace in the Dragon Court is beautiful; it's bigger than all the houses in our village combined."

"After we get married, I can still carry you on my back like this, with Xiao Xiao in tow, and the three of us can travel together."

"Go see the snow-capped mountains of Qin, go see the rainforests of southern Xinjiang, and go to the far north to see the ice fields."

"I've never been to the Qin Dynasty. I've heard that there's a city wall that stretches for tens of thousands of miles."

As she spoke, Cang Yao began to blush, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"We can have another child. My husband, do you prefer a boy or a girl? Whether it's a boy or a girl, our child will definitely grow up to be very good-looking."

Lin Chu lay on her back, a smile always on her face, as if she had already experienced all of this.

"You haven't seen many boys," Lin Chu's voice came from behind, tinged with a hint of teasing. "If you've seen too many, you won't find me attractive anymore."

"Who said I haven't seen them?" Cang Yao retorted seriously. "Back in Longting, many people came to fawn over me, but I didn't think any of them were as pretty as you, no matter how many boys I met."

Her voice suddenly softened.

You are always the most beautiful.

Lin Chu on her back didn't reply, but Cang Yao could sense that he was smiling.

After flying for a while, Cang Yao suddenly felt that her back was lighter.

She turned her head and glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye. Lin Chu was still lying on her back, her white hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

She muttered to herself, "Why does it feel lighter?"

Lin Chu chuckled.

"Is it possible that your strength has increased? Successfully transforming into a dragon naturally makes you stronger than before, so you feel lighter."

Cang Yao thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she stopped worrying about it.

What she didn't see was that Lin Chu's lower body on her back had become transparent, like a thin mist immersed in twilight, being blown away by the wind.

The sea breeze whistled past my ears.

Lin Chu's voice rang out again.

"My wife."

"Hmm? What's wrong, husband?"

"It's nothing, just talk to me a little longer."

"Okay, what should I say?"

"Say anything." His voice grew softer and softer. "I'm a little sleepy, I want to hear your voice."

Cang Yao thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you secretly run away without Xiao Xiao's knowledge?"

There was no reply.

"Husband? Are you asleep?"

"No, I'm listening." Lin Chu paused for a moment, then continued, her tone slower than before.

"My wife, from now on, you must cultivate diligently."

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Cang Yao frowned.

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

Lin Chu's voice was soft and slow, like she was coaxing a child.

"From now on, don't act too impulsively, and think more about the consequences."

"Don't be too open with everyone. It's good that you're kind-hearted, but you should also keep a degree of caution for yourself."

"Listen to Xiaoxiao's opinions more often. She's younger than you, but she's more mature than you."

Cang Yao muttered, "I don't want to hear this... it just makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lin Chu rubbed the scales on Cang Yao's head and smiled.

"The last sentence."

Cang Yao pursed her lips: "Alright."

"After I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself, and walk the road ahead well."

He paused for a moment.

At this moment, the sea breeze passed through the scales, and the setting sun burned the clouds on the horizon into a crimson red.

Seabirds flew past deep in the clouds, their calls echoing in the distance and emptiness.

"Silly girl, did you hear that?"

Cang Yao's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

The weight on my back disappeared completely.

Only that faded blue shirt remained, fluttering gently in the wind, its hem brushing against her scales like the last tender touch of her fingertips in farewell.

But his weight, his warmth, the heartbeats that came from his chest when he spoke—all of that was gone.

The girl was surrounded by silence.
