The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 69

Noticing her thoughts, the system was somewhat at a loss for words, "Did you really think that you could only increase affection through appearances?"

Luo Qingci countered, "Otherwise?"

"She learned to project her spiritual sense to detect the opponent's spiritual fluctuations during the battle with the golden dragon. It seems she has picked up what you taught her."

Luo Qingci's eyes brightened with joy, but this wasn't the time to be happy. Ruan Li was severely injured and needed immediate attention.

As she sent her spiritual power into Ruan Li's body, Ruan Li's condition began to improve a little.

She was still soft and curled up in Luo Qingci's arms, but her head was raised a bit, occasionally glancing at her, only to quickly hide her gaze again.

Seeing this, Luo Qingci couldn't help but reach out and touch her chin, lifting her head to face her. "Why are you peeking at me sneakily?"

Ruan Li's eyes first showed a blank expression and then evident shyness. Although she was a small dragon, her expressions were not as vivid as a human's, but Luo Qingci could clearly see the emotions in those eyes and found her extremely adorable.

Seeing her look away, Luo Qingci couldn't contain her smile. "Shy now? You were just looking at me, why are you hiding now?"

Ruan Li's shyness deepened. She was glad her dragon form couldn't blush, which helped cover it up a bit. But she didn't know how to respond. She wanted to look at Chi Qing, but when she realized it, she felt unavoidably shy and couldn't control it.

Seeing that she was genuinely embarrassed, Luo Qingci didn't want to tease her anymore, especially since she was injured. She decided not to make things worse.

"How do you feel? Is it better?" She carefully examined Ruan Li's injuries and used a cleansing spell. Then she asked, "Do you have any medicine for wounds? You have so many injuries; I'll apply some medicine for you."

Ruan Li, still in pain, knew she had many wounds. She thought for a moment and then a small bell appeared on her left front claw.

Luo Qingci was momentarily stunned, staring at the bell, which was the Chiyang Bell.

Her memory seemed to be instantly transported back to when they were still in that cave; this was something she had given to Ruan Li before parting.

Ruan Li took out some wound medicine and elixirs, which her master had given her before entering the secret realm. Thinking of Luo Qingci, Ruan Li paused for a moment but then handed the elixirs to Chi Qing.

"You're injured too. This is a seventh-grade essence-replenishing pill from my master, and also some Liquid Condensation Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills. Take some of these." She took out everything she thought would be helpful, which made Luo Qingci feel both soft and heartache.

Looking at the Chiyang Bell, she couldn't help but touch it. "You're still keeping it. I haven't seen you wear it. I thought you lost it."

Ruan Li lowered her head, her tone a bit muffled. "I was going to throw it away. But thinking that you were the one who gave it to me before you planned to discard me, I got angry."

"Why didn't you throw it away?" Luo Qingci asked softly.

Ruan Li's eyes showed dejection and grievance. "I couldn't bear to part with it. It's the only thing you left for me. But I didn't want to see it, so I put it away. Now that you're back, it's nice to wear it. It's quite useful; I don't have any decent storage spiritual tools."
