Chance Encounters-An Eternal Love of Dreams Fan Fiction

Chapter Thirteen - Together Again

Donghua had been worried about Xiao Bai since he heard that she was dealing with the Pareesi Dragons by herself.  He knew her cultivation was not enough for her to fight all three of them at the same time.   He was so worried in fact, that he had expended a fair amount of his cultivation to get to Qingqiu as fast as he could eschewing the normal modes of transport through the cloud riders.  Therefore, he appeared in the front of the Fox Cavern less than a day after receiving the missive.

"Where's Xiao...Her Highness Bai Feng Jiu?"  Donghua asked without preamble as soon as he phased into the entrance of the Fox Cavern and saw someone.  Migu, who was about to send off missives to the Fox elders as to the current situation, was surprised by the sudden appearance of the White haired deity.  

"She's in the forest by herself with the three dragons..." he blurted out without thinking, intimidated by the intense mien of the God in front of him.  It was only after the Immortal disappeared that he wondered why Donghua Dijun was in Qingqiu.  He had seen the old God once thousands of years ago at a banquet but his aura was such that you would never forget him once you've seen him.  But, how did he know Her Highness?  Why wasn't he looking for General Bai Zhi or Bai Yi Dijun? He suddenly recalled the initial instruction of Her Highness to inform Tai Chen Palace.  Did he and the Princess know each other?  He seems to be familiar with her.  Regardless of the reason why he was there, Migu can only breathe a sigh of relief that help has arrived.

The first thing Donghua saw when he phased into the forest was the two dragons converging towards Xiao Bai.  Xiao Bai had formed some type of shield in front of her to ward of the flames that the dragons were emitting towards her.  Because of the dragons proximity to Xiao Bai, he knew that he could not blast them away just yet as she might also be hit by accident.   As he slowly advanced upon them not wanting to alert them to his presence, he saw one of the dragons pounce and hit her directly from the back.  She fell immediately no longer able to withstand the pain.

Donghua immediately flew to her catching her before she could hit the ground.  At the same time, he blasted his harnessed powers toward the black dragon rendering it unconscious.   She was whimpering now but he couldn't concentrate fully on her as the blue dragon was advancing on them clearly seeing that he could not do a lot with her in his arms.  Fortunately, his Cang'he an extension of himself could be summoned at will to appear wherever he wanted.   When the dragon saw the sword which had split into hundreds surrounding it, he quickly flew out of the way with the swords in pursuit of it.   

Xiao Bai had already fainted.  Frantically, Donghua felt for her pulse feeling a trace of poison in her body.  He started to blast healing powers on her knowing that a dragon's poison was one of the most toxic in the universe, even an immortal would have a hard time detoxifying herself.  He felt for her pulse again as the blood that were seeping out of her now had turned black as ink.  He startled at the sight.  Her body seems to be able to purge the poison.  He suddenly remembered that the blood of the nine tailed fox could cleanse impurities.  Her blood was actually acting as the antidote.  But he knew she could do it only to a certain extent as her cultivation had been heavily depleted.  Quickly, he created a divan and placed her on it putting her under a stasis ward  to allow her body the chance to recover while cleaning out the poison.  In the distance, he could see that the blue dragon had not been able to escape the Cang'he.  It was now effectively trapped within a circle of his sword.  He swept his hand as the multiplied swords plunged themselves onto the dragon's body.  At the same time, he took stock of the surroundings looking for the red dragon.  He only saw the 2 when he entered the forest.   After a few minutes, he espied the red dragon in a marshy pit seemingly unconscious and bound by an enchanted spell.  She was able to trap it?  The red dragon was the more powerful of the three dragons.  Donghua was familiar with Xiao Bai's cultivation and he knew that even with her full strength, she should not have been able to overpower and bind it and even rendered it unconscious.   He quickly sealed a ward around the dragon not wanting to kill it yet before he could investigate exactly how it escaped its ward in the first place.
