She couldn't hold it in any longer.
She turned around abruptly, her purple eyes, brimming with moisture, fixed intently on Long Jian and Long Sheng.
Where was that person last seen?
Her voice carried a tremor and urgency that she herself was unaware of.
Long Jian and Long Sheng were startled by her sudden reaction and answered instinctively.
"It's...it's in the audience section of the arena."
Long Ying's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot amidst a faint purple halo.
Only a ring of spreading energy ripples remained, proving that she had once been here.
The remaining people looked at each other, completely confused.
The 70,000-year-old Azure Dragon Clan elder looked utterly bewildered.
"What is Saintess Long Ying doing...?"
Long Sheng looked in the direction where Long Ying had disappeared and said thoughtfully.
"The Holy Maiden probably has some urgent business to attend to. She should be back soon. Let's go and pay our respects to the clan chief first."
The others dared not say anything more, and could only suppress their doubts and continue walking towards the main hall.
Within the city-state, there was a vast arena.
Long Ying's figure appeared out of thin air.
Her gaze swept anxiously across the crowd as they left, scrutinizing every face.
She looked around.
Every passing figure made her heart skip a beat.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, he sank heavily to the ground.
This one is not.
The next one isn't either.
The crowds, like receding waves, gradually thinned out.
Her heart sank little by little as the space became empty.
Until the last figure disappeared at the exit.
In the vast arena, only her lonely figure remained, amidst a scene of utter chaos.
The wind howled through the empty stands, as if mocking her delusions.
Long Ying clenched her fists in resentment, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"You missed it..."
Her voice echoed in the empty space, hoarse with a hint of despair.
A calm and gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
It was as if it had traversed a hundred thousand years of time, striking her heart with pinpoint accuracy.
"Are you looking for me?"
Long Ying's body suddenly stiffened.
This voice...
This sound, which I think about day and night, that haunts my dreams, and that echoes repeatedly in countless late nights.
She could hardly believe her ears.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.
She slowly, using all her strength, turned around.
A face so handsome it seemed otherworldly came into view through her blurry, tear-filled eyes.
He still maintained that calm and collected demeanor, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.
A single, scalding tear finally broke free from its confinement and slid down her smooth cheek.
That cold, towering wall, built over 100,000 years, collapsed with a deafening roar at that moment.
She could no longer suppress the volcanic emotions surging within her.
I took a step and ran towards that figure.
She wanted to hug him.
Just like that helpless little girl from 100,000 years ago, she buried herself in that warm and safe embrace.
Just as her arm was about to touch the other person, she suddenly stopped.
She's not that little girl who only knows how to cry anymore.
She is the Holy Maiden of the White Dragon Clan, a senior who has lived for 100,000 years.
Would it be too presumptuous to do this?
Brother Lin Ci, do you hate yourself for being so impulsive?
The outstretched hands froze in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.
Lin Ci looked at the struggle and fear in her eyes and smiled gently.
He stepped forward and opened his arms.
He directly pulled that trembling, delicate body into his arms.
Just like it was 100,000 years ago.
It's like hugging your most beloved younger sister.
Long Ying was so startled by the sudden embrace that she trembled all over.
That familiar yet unfamiliar warm feeling instantly enveloped her.
All restraint and pretense crumbled at this moment.
She hugged Lin Ci tightly, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.
"Brother Lin Ci, you've finally arrived."
Her voice, thick with nasal tone, came from his chest.
"I thought you had forgotten our promise."
Lin Ci gently stroked her smooth, short, white hair tinged with purple, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.
For him, it was just an agreement made yesterday.
But for the girl in his arms, it was a long time of waiting, a full 100,000 years.
The ocean can be transformed into mulberry fields.
She still cared about that promise and waited day and night.
Lin Ci could clearly feel her trembling excitement at that moment.
He chuckled softly, his voice tinged with affection.
"How could I forget? I've come to see you."
Long Ying has a thousand words to say.
But I felt the same warmth of the embrace as when I was a child.
She didn't want to say or do anything at that moment.
I just want to stay quietly in this comforting embrace.
She didn't know if her feelings for Lin Ci were like those for a family member, or something else entirely.
But she knew that she had waited too long for this moment.
Lin Ci looked at the pure white armor worn by the person in his arms and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
In his memory.
Long Ying's super beast weapon should be dark green, or even black, symbolizing the Scorpion King.
How could it be white, a symbol of purity?
However, Lin Ci wasn't foolish enough to ask directly.
He changed the subject and asked softly.
"How have you and your father fared for the past 100,000 years?"
"I heard that you two have developed a virtual universe. Our Yingying is really amazing."
Upon hearing these words of praise and intimacy, Long Ying's cheeks instantly turned hot.
She buried her head even deeper, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Those...those are just some little tricks..."
Lin Ci asked again.
"How did your father reconcile with the Sword Dragon? I see that both of your clans are thriving and prosperous now."

Long Ying's emotions gradually calmed down, and she spoke softly.
"After Father was sent to the underworld by you, Brother Lin Ci, the King of the Underworld treated us with great courtesy when he learned that you were the one who sent him."
"After settling us White Dragons, he asked us about our future plans."
"Father heeded your advice and, knowing that Hades was fighting against the Snow Queen's forces, resolutely joined Hades's ranks."
"Later, my father became a powerful lieutenant of Hades, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Lion King."
Lin Ci nodded upon hearing this, understanding in his heart.
