"Finally, we've reached the Mystic Root of the Ambrosial Arbor."
"Along the way, it's either assassins, dical officers from the Alchemy Commission, or Preceptors..."
"All trying to persuade Dan Heng to turn back."
"This mission is truly not easy."
Bailu couldn't help but sigh.
The conflicts between different factions were giving her a headache.
She had only co to repair the seal of the Ambrosial Arbor and incidentally check on herself.
How did things get so complicated?
The title of High Elder is truly troubleso...
anwhile, the little boy beside her was thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Fighting! So exhilarating!!"
"Although I don't quite understand what's happening in the plot, Dan Heng's relentless determination to push forward against all odds is just too cool!"
Bailu was taken aback.
Then she nodded.
Indeed.
Sotis overthinking is pointless!
At this mont.
In the ga, she and Dan Heng arrived before the Mystic Root of the Ambrosial Arbor.
"Wow! This is truly magnificent! Is this the Ambrosial Arbor?"
Bailu felt like a child seeing the world for the first ti, exclaiming in awe.
"Yes, forming the seal and using dragon power to restrain the roots from spreading—this is the heavy responsibility entrusted to the High Elder of Luofu."
She sighed, "No one ever told these things. It seems the elders were well aware that I wasn't fit for this position."
"If I'm so unqualified, why did Dan Feng choose back then?"
Dan Heng replied, "That's also the answer I've co to Scalegorge Waterscape to seek."
"The High Elder is the closest existence to The Permanence among the Vidyadhara."
"According to records, the succession of the High Elder requires a secret ritual called the Dragon Transformation Art, as well as a sacred artifact regarded as the Dragon's Heart. Once the succession is complete, the forr High Elder forms a cocoon and is reborn, while the new High Elder manifests the dragon form."
"However, Dan Feng's ritual failed. His power remained within ... yet, for so reason, it also created you."
"I wanted to take the opportunity of repairing the seal of the Ambrosial Arbor to see if it could awaken mories in both of us—"
Bailu's expression grew serious.
She vaguely sensed.
This part might have sothing to do with her origins.
Who would have thought that such an unexpected discovery would be made during Dan Heng's Companion Mission!
At this mont.
Dan Heng began to rebuild the seal.
He suspended a black-and-white orb above his palm.
Softly chanting, "To halt the revival of the Ambrosial Arbor, to suppress the lingering calamity of the Plague."
"By the waters of the Ancient Sea, under the command of the High Elder, we shall subdue the Mystic Root here."
"Strange, this is different from when we removed the seal. Why is there no reaction?"
The perspective zood in.
At the bottom of the screen.
She found herself mimicking Dan Heng's gesture, pointing two fingers forward.
Saying, "To halt the revival of the Ambrosial Arbor, to suppress the lingering calamity of the Plague."
Suddenly.
It seed to trigger so wondrous reaction.
A light shone from the gourd at her waist.
At the sa ti.
A colorful glow erged from ahead.
Their voices rang out in unison.
"By the waters of the Ancient Sea, under the command of the High Elder, we shall subdue the Mystic Root here!"
Seeing this scene!
Bailu's mouth opened wide in astonishnt.
She hadn't expected it herself.
Did she really possess such a talent?
She could actually reseal the Ambrosial Arbor's mystic roots, just like Dan Heng!
It was like those storytelling monts where the protagonist suddenly comprehends so profound technique.
And such a thing had actually happened to her.
The little boy beside her couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! So cool!"
"Dan Heng is cool! And the Dragon Maiden Bailu is cool too!"
"As expected of the future High Elder…"
"In this scene, the two of them look like father and daughter!"
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
Bailu, who had been beaming with joy, imdiately lost her smile upon hearing this.
So what if she was a bit short!
How could she be mistaken for a mother.
At most, they could be considered siblings!
At that mont.
Dan Heng also said in surprise, "You… did it! Without needing anyone else's acknowledgnt, this alone is enough to prove that you are the true High Elder."
"Did you rember anything when you rebuilt the seal?"
She replied, "Hmm… it was like a tide washing over my mind. I felt as if I had beco incredibly huge, and the entire Scalegorge Waterscape was responding to my voice, resonating with ."
"Hehe, this is fun. Dan Heng, teach another thod. Let's see if I can rember sothing else."
"Wait, do you feel that? Soone's approaching!"
As soon as the words fell.
A group of Disciples of Sanctus dicus appeared behind them.
"Stelle, be careful and protect Bailu."
"It's my turn to protect you all. With here, you won't suffer even a scratch!"
It was clear.
After learning the skill to rebuild the seal, I was brimming with confidence.
Just as Bailu was preparing to unleash "Azure Dragon Cleansing the World."
A commotion suddenly erupted outside the mobile ga arcade.
The owner of the arcade brought a woman to stand before the trio.
Bailu looked up.
The woman spoke in a helpless tone, "Lady Bailu, do you know how much effort I've put into finding you?"
Bailu imdiately gave an awkward smile, "Huanxi..."
The arcade owner beside them was so shocked that his jaw nearly hit the floor.
"No way..."
"You really are the Dragon Maiden!?"
"I must have been blind, completely blind..."
"Esteed mber of the Alchemy Commission, please don't take offense. I had no idea she was really Bailu. I thought she was just a kid playing dress-up."
Huanxi smiled gently, "I apologize, but I must take Lady Bailu with now."
"Of course, of course," the owner replied with a forced smile.
His arcade was originally ant for the children of Luofu.
After all, every adult had a phone, so there was no need for them to co here specifically to play.
It wasn't exactly a legitimate business establishnt.
At this mont, all he could do was force a smile.
Bailu stuck out her tongue.
"Sorry..."
She turned to her bewildered companions and said, "There's still over half an hour left... I'll give you the rest of the ga ti. Have fun."
Huanxi took Bailu by the arm.
She said calmly, "Lady Bailu, this ti, it's not just who's co. My colleagues have also arrived."
"They all want to personally escort you [ho]."
Due to the earlier events, Bailu harbored no suspicion toward Huanxi.
She didn't even consider the deeper aning behind those words.
Instead, she laughed and replied, "Sorry, Huanxi, for making you go through so much trouble this ti."
"I promise I won't sneak out for a month... no, a week after we get back!"
As Bailu and Huanxi left the arcade.
The two children slowly recovered from their shock.
The little girl said in disbelief, "So... the Bai sister who's been with us all this ti is actually the Bailu from the ga?"
"That's amazing!"
The little boy, on the other hand, was filled with excitent and admiration.
"I'm not going to support Dan Heng anymore. I'll switch to supporting Sister Bai!"
He glanced at the screen.
The ga's storyline wasn't over yet.
The boy imdiately took over Bailu's position and continued the story.
On the way back.
They encountered several waves of assassins.
The boy excitedly controlled Imbibitor Lunae Dan Heng and dealt with each enemy one by one.
When they arrived at Dragonvista Rain Hall.
Familiar faces were waiting there.
The boy asked, "Is that Huanxi the sa person who just took Sister Bai away?"
"Yeah, in the previous storyline, it was ntioned that Huanxi is Sister Bai's maid."
"Oh, so the ga really mirrors reality."
He stepped forward to speak with Huanxi.
Huanxi: "I never expected those assassins to be so brazen, daring to intrude into the sacred Scalegorge Waterscape and relentlessly pursue you all... Rest assured, miss, I will report to the elders and ensure they are all captured."
"Fortunately, the three of you are blessed by fortune. If anything had happened, I would have failed in my duty."
But Dan Heng suddenly countered, "Assassins? We never ntioned that the danger was from assassins. How did you know, Miss Huanxi?"
"Of course, it's because... we were already attacked at the ferry. I was panicked, fearing these villains might strike again."
Bailu's tone also turned strange: "But according to Huanxi, those assassins were only targeting Mr. Dan Heng... Yet in the ruins, it was they attacked."
Huanxi fell silent.
A aningful smile crept onto her lips.
"Ah, since the three of you have been unhard throughout, it seems I, as your maid, have failed in my duty."
"In my view, the Vidyadhara only need one High Elder. The weak and useless one who usurps the throne should be removed."
"Miss Bailu, our master-servant relationship ends here. Farewell."
[Entering battle]
The little boy and girl were stunned.
They looked at each other.
Each saw shock and panic in the other's eyes!
"This plot ans..."
"The maid by Sister Bai's side—Huanxi is actually an assassin?"
"And she wants to eliminate Sister Bai!?"
"She just... took Sister Bai away..."
Sweat instantly poured down the children's foreheads.
Two seconds later.
They shouted together:
"Bad news! Big trouble!!!!"
"Sister Bai... Bailu has been taken by the assassins!"
"The Dragon Maiden is going to be killed!"
