An Shu used the tip of his tail to pull out the pointed spears in his flesh bluntly. Thanks to the cultivation he and Su Ning had been practicing, the wound closed in the blink of an eye. But Ren Loo didn't seem okay with it. (Mess with the love of these people's lives to see what happens to you, lol).

She jumped onto An Shu's back, wielding her sword. Her eyes had a dangerous, provocative gleam.
"Well, well, look who decided to show up!"
"WHO decided to show up nothing! You set that trap for us to run around in circles while you attacked here!" Xun Dui retorted wielding his sword as well.

Ren Loo did not look away for even a moment. "Let's see, will I at least be able to have a decent fight? This was all sooooo boring."
Xun Dui gritted his teeth. "We'll see if it's going to be that boring!" The cultivator raised his sword and lunged at Ren Loo. The swords clashed with force and Xun Dui thought that the bones in her arms would be crushed.

He jumped sideways trying to strike her from the side, but the dragon's movements were quick and she turned elegantly, dodging the blow. Xun Dui was dumbfounded. How could it be so fast!? Ren Loo charged at him and almost hit him in a lethal spot. At the last moment she remembered that she wasn't supposed to kill anyone. But these humans were so easy to break! She gritted her teeth.

She also managed to regain her composure. An Shu was no longer bleeding, yet her heart ached like she once did in the past. When she saw her husband's soul being consumed without her being able to do anything to save him. She remembered that before she lost consciousness, Ren Huie pulled her close and whispered in a low voice: "I love you so much, I want you to move on..."

Ren Loo never felt anything for anyone again. She maintained that happy and jovial air but her interest in others diminished drastically. No one was ever like that person. Now she understood that there could be no one like him. And she spent so much time looking for it in others! It was even outrageous!
An Shu was nothing like Ren Huie. Her snake was shy, silent and kept everything to herself.

Ren Huie was playful, outgoing and when he didn't like something, he wouldn't swallow the fish bone. How could she imagine that her heart would beat again for someone completely opposite! However, everything was clear to her now. Both An Shu and Ren Huie respected her, were kind and kind. An Shu had even been on good terms with Ren Shuo since when Su Ning had become a child.

With his feelings in order, Ren Loo attacked Xun Dui again, trying to end this fight quickly. The cultivator was aggressive and slippery, he even managed to escape freezing! On one occasion, An Shu almost froze him, casting an ice matrix at his feet. The cultivator quickly jumped up, before the ice caught him.

"This fight is just for two!" He exclaimed. An Shu in snake form stared at him with his glowing red eyes.
"How does that compare to attacking behind our backs?"
"Dragons and yao do not deserve a respectful fight, you are repulsive and treacherous by nature!"
An Shu was so angered by this that even the air around him seemed to freeze the moisture into tiny snowflakes.

With his tail he swept the cultivator by surprise, imprinting him against the wall.
"MADAM REN DOESN'T NEED TO HEAR SO MUCH STUPIDITY!" He barked.
Madam Ren "..........."
Xun Dui used his sword to stab the tail, as a result An Shu pulled it hard and the cultivator holding the sword was dragged away with it. With a pull he made another tear in his skin.

However, he did not go unpunished, before he could react, Ren Loo threw an imposing punch to his chest that was able to make him spit out blood and knocked him out at once. Huang Jia rushed to tie him up quickly before the cultivator came to his senses and Ren Loo decided to beat him to death.
An Shu looked at the wound that began to slowly heal.

This time Xun Dui used a spell on the blow that delayed his recovery, although soon the wound began to slowly close. Then his head was turned by two hands that pulled him to face him.
"Have you lost your mind??? Look at how much blood you've lost!"
An Shu was so close to that pair of golden eyes staring at him, that he shivered in embarrassment and turned red like a cherry.

"I... I'm sorry, I really lost my mind when he said dragons were repulsive and treacherous. That definition would never apply to you."
Oh! So was that it? Ren Loo couldn't help but feel a hint of pleasure upon hearing this.
"Even if you heal quickly, I don't want you to expose yourself like that again! Do you understand me? You're too important to get hurt like that!"

An Shu nodded foolishly. Ren Loo was holding her cheeks so hard that they stayed there even more red and she only released him after warning him a dozen more times. The snake returned to its human form. The last wound on the tail has become a scar running from calf to heel. It hurt a little when walking, so Ren Loo asked him to take the form of a small snake.

He obeyed bluntly and she picked him up. To tell the truth, the dragon really wanted to carry him like that. He looked so cute little like that and with such big, clear eyes! They looked like two rubies. This form also consumed less energy and An Shu could recover faster. Despite rapid regeneration, he lost a lot of blood.

"And now?" Huang Jia asked.
"We will sweep the entire area and then inside the palace. Civilians must not be disturbed. We will only capture the cultivators and then we will meet with the doctor and the emperor."
The phoenix left with her group and Ren Loo gathered those with An Shu to follow her. The snake coiled itself, well-behaved, around her wrist. The dragon showed a slight smile of satisfaction.
"Let's end this quickly and once and for all!"
