Chapter 140 No martial ethics

Looking at Long Jiaojiao's serious expression, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She then forced herself to remain calm, suppressing her speechless frustration, and slowly began to speak:

"Thank you so much for your kindness, but please don't! To be honest, I don't need a mother right now."

Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's unwavering rejection, Long Jiaojiao's previously expectant face instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, turning utterly dejected.

She pouted and mumbled pitifully:

"Alright then... In that case, if you ever change your mind, or suddenly feel like you need a mother, you must remember to consider me! But until then... let me call you mother for now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao's lips twitched uncontrollably a few times, leaving her both amused and exasperated.

Does this dragon even understand what "mother" means? How can its identity be changed so easily?

However, before Shen Qingyao could explain these things to Long Jiaojiao, suddenly, an extremely sinister aura filled with intense killing intent surged towards Shen Qingyao like a raging tide with overwhelming force.

Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, Shen Qingyao reacted extremely quickly, almost without any hesitation, and dodged the fatal blow in a flash.

After successfully dodging, she suddenly turned her head to look at Princess Hengyang, who was staring at her fiercely as if she wanted to devour her alive. Her beautiful eyes immediately revealed a look of vigilance.

Meanwhile, Long Jiaojiao was clearly not expected that Princess Hengyang would launch an attack without warning, and that she would abruptly interrupt her conversation with Shen Qingyao. For a moment, she was so angry that her little face was so dark that it looked like it was about to drip water.

"Sister Wang, this is so unethical! Didn't you see that I was having a wonderful chat with my dearest mother? How could you suddenly attack me like this?"

Long Jiaojiao angrily put her chubby little hands on her hips. Her round body and this appearance not only lacked any intimidating power, but also made her look extremely cute and adorable.

However, neither Shen Qingyao and her group nor Princess Hengyang dared to underestimate the seemingly innocent little child in front of them—Long Jiaojiao.

Despite her current appearance as a delicate and beautiful little baby, she is actually a dragon, and her strength should not be underestimated.

Even in the face of Long Jiaojiao's stern warning, Princess Hengyang showed no intention of backing down; on the contrary, her killing intent grew even stronger.

Now, she not only attempts to kill Shen Qingyao and others, but she also refuses to let go of Long Jiaojiao, whom she once regarded as her beloved pet.

After all, for Princess Hengyang, since this little guy had already betrayed her, there was no need to keep him alive any longer.

Without further ado, Princess Hengyang launched another fierce attack.

In an instant, endless, eerie cold air surged out, like countless ferocious and terrifying hands, rushing towards Shen Qingyao and Long Jiaojiao.

Si Jingnian, Ruan Hongshuang, and the middle-aged man were also not spared, as a lot of yin energy rushed towards them.

In the blink of an eye, Ruan Hongshuang's eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, she swiftly drew her unique weapon from her bosom—a gleaming, incredibly sharp short sword—and gripped it tightly in her hand for defense.

Meanwhile, Si Jingnian secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Shen Qingyao had given him that mysterious jade pendant. With the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the pendant, he was able to barely withstand the impact of this wave of Yin energy.

Looking at Shen Qingyao's side, she also dared not let her guard down. Her figure moved as nimbly as a ghost, dodging left and right at an astonishing speed, skillfully avoiding the fierce attacks of the Yin energy.

After all, facing such a fierce attack of Yin energy, one could easily suffer serious injury if not careful.

Princess Hengyang, a female ghost with a thousand years of cultivation, exudes a far more powerful and terrifying yin energy than ordinary vengeful ghosts.

Shen Qingyao had a clear understanding of her own strength and knew that a direct confrontation was not the best strategy, so she did not choose to confront Princess Hengyang directly.

However, when that surging yin energy swept towards Long Jiaojiao, something unexpected happened.

Just as the yin energy was about to touch Long Jiaojiao's body, at the very moment it was only inches away from it, the yin energy seemed to be pulled by an invisible, enormous suction force, and in the blink of an eye, it all disappeared without a trace.

Upon closer inspection, everyone was shocked to discover that the dragon had opened its mouth and absorbed all the yin energy into its belly.

Upon witnessing this unbelievable scene, Shen Qingyao's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise on her face.

Ruan Hongshuang couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!" in surprise, clearly astonished by the news.

Seeing that Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang both reacted this way, Si Jingnian immediately realized that Long Jiaojiao's ability to absorb yin energy was no ordinary thing. So he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the little baby Long Jiaojiao who looked to be only a little over a year old.

Even Princess Hengyang couldn't help but give Long Jiaojiao a deep look, her eyes filled with even more murderous intent.

She never expected that Long Jiaojiao could even devour her Yin energy without any effect.

In contrast, among everyone present, only the middle-aged man was unfortunately injured in Princess Hengyang's attack.

His face was as pale as paper, and a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

It seemed he had used up all his magical treasures, and he didn't have the same abilities as Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang, so he couldn't resist the invasion of Yin energy. In the end, he was struck by Yin energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The middle-aged man's face was as pale as paper, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth. However, his right hand gripped the bead that emitted a mysterious light as tightly as an iron clamp. Even as his body fell heavily to the ground due to his severe injuries, he showed no intention of letting go.

At that moment, he seemed to regard this bead as the last straw in his life.

On the other side, after Princess Hengyang saw that Shen Qingyao and the others were safe and sound, a strong killing intent surged in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

However, when she thought of Long Jiaojiao's ability to devour her Yin energy, she suppressed her impulse and did not rashly launch another attack.
