Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 962: How about half a bird and half a bird?

"I seem... to have slept for a very long time..."

The qilin opened its pair of jade-blue eyes, looking around. "Where is this? Could it be... the next cycle of reincarnation already?"

"Senior Qilin." Chen Huaian took a step forward, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with a trace of emotion. "It's been a long time."

"You are..." The qilin's pupils contracted as it looked at Chen Huaian. "You're that kid Huaian! You... have you also entered the next cycle? Did we... ultimately fail..."

A flicker of regret appeared in its eyes, but it did not blame Chen Huaian.

From its perspective, the fact that it could now appear in a physical form could only mean Chen Huaian had failed.

The Celestial God Clan had already begun the next cycle, endless and perpetual, and Chen Huaian had likely been reincarnated as well.

When it was still just a Divine Soul earlier, it had only instinctively reacted to Poseidon's Divine Spark and was unaware of everything happening outside.

"There is no next cycle yet." Chen Huaian said with a bitter smile. "This Venerable One sometimes wishes it could all just end, but things rarely go as one wishes. This Venerable One is still on the path of resisting the Celestial God Clan."

He pointed to the silently coiled Azure Dragon beside them.

The qilin took a deep breath, as if savoring the air of this world. Its gaze shifted from Chen Huaian to the Azure Dragon, its eyes widening. It took a long moment before it finally reacted. "I can really be resurrected?! Hahaha!"

It laughed wildly, slapping the neck of the Azure Dragon beside it. "Old Dragon, do you see? We've been resurrected by Little An! Hoo hoo hoo!"

No one who can live wants to die.

If not for the mission they carried, needing to pass their power to the Dragon Soul inheritor, these Sacred Beasts would surely be more life-loving than the next.

Their sacrifices were all for the greater good. Now that they could live again, how could they not be overjoyed?

The Azure Dragon's left and right eyes seemed to cross. "Aba aba..."

The qilin was stunned. "Old Dragon, what's wrong with you? Have you gone stupid?"

Seeing the Azure Dragon's idiotic appearance, Chen Huaian's heart also skipped a beat.

He probed with his Divine Soul and found the Azure Dragon's Divine Soul was complete.

It wasn't in a state of missing some of the three ethereal souls and seven corporeal souls, so it shouldn't be displaying this kind of foolish behavior.

At that moment, the sounds of the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix arguing noisily reached his ears again.

Understanding dawned on him. Noticing the panic deep within the Azure Dragon's eyes, he suddenly realized.

—Senior Azure Dragon is pretending to be dumb...

"You stupid little third wheel, can't hold back now that you see the Azure Dragon resurrected, can you?"

"You're the third wheel! The Azure Dragon and I are true love! It's because of your fiery temper that the Azure Dragon couldn't stand you!"

...

Tsk tsk~

Chen Huaian pinched the bridge of his nose.

Given the current level of bickering between the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix, if the Azure Dragon didn't pretend to be dumb for a while, they might really come to blows.

"No matter how much you say, the Azure Dragon will ultimately be with Little An, not with Qingran." The Phoenix's voice suddenly softened, taking on a sarcastic tone. "Why am I even arguing with a third wheel like you? As if you could ever squeeze your way in later, tsk~ How pitiful~"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Vermilion Bird fell silent.

But a terrifying pressure gradually began to spread, pressing down on everyone like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

A moment later, the flame mark between Li Qingran's eyebrows pulsed, and the Vermilion Bird's sinister voice came through:

"Fine! If that's the case, then let's split the Azure Dragon in half. We'll each take one half."

Chen Huaian & Li Qingran & Azure Dragon: "..."

"Ahem, stop arguing." The Azure Dragon stopped pretending to be dumb, its voice deep and muffled. "Now, Huaian kid still has to fight the Celestial God Clan. The great enemy remains unsolved, yet you two are here squabbling over such trivial matters. What kind of behavior is this? Where is your sense of the bigger picture? Where are your convictions and sense of responsibility?

Before the Celestial God Clan is destroyed, no matter where we are, we are all on a path to death. Only by defeating the Celestial God Clan will your current arguments have any meaning!"

The Azure Dragon's words were forceful and weighty, carrying the unyielding majesty of the leader of the Sacred Beasts.

"Tsk." Inside Chen Huaian's dantian, the Phoenix snorted coldly.

The flame mark between Li Qingran's eyebrows twitched, and the Vermilion Bird also let out a displeased, derisive snort.

Two scorching auras, powerful enough to burn the heavens and boil the seas, suddenly receded, returning to silence.

With a great enemy before them, they naturally understood what was more important.

Seeing the two mother birds finally settle down, the Azure Dragon let out a sigh of relief.

On that majestic dragon face, a rare, human-like trace of awkwardness appeared.

"Heh, sorry for letting you see such a joke, Huaian kid."

Chen Huaian shook his head slightly, a smile on his lips, giving the Azure Dragon a thumbs-up. "It's fine. Senior, you are truly genuine."

To have won over two proud Sacred Beasts like the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix simultaneously, and to have them fighting over him...

One could only say, the Azure Dragon has great skill!

The pleasantries stopped there.

The Azure Dragon composed its expression. Its massive body shifted slightly as it said seriously, "As the saying goes, one does not visit the Three Precious Halls without a reason. You, kid, went to the trouble of expending two such precious Dao principle fragments to awaken me and the qilin and reshape our physical bodies. There must be some thorny matter."

"Speak. What do you need us to do for you?"

Chen Huaian's expression also turned solemn.

He didn't waste words, succinctly explaining the plight of Eve, Poseidon, and their daughter Xindra to the two Sacred Beasts.

After listening.

The Azure Dragon and the qilin turned their heads in unison.

Two sharp gazes swept past Chen Huaian, glancing at Poseidon and Eve not far away.

After a brief look, they shifted their gaze away, finally settling on the quietly lurking pink sea monster.

Being stared at by the two Sacred Beasts, Poseidon and Eve tensed up. Despite being Chief Gods of the Canglan Realm, they felt pressure at this moment.

Vitality and Auspicious Signs are the natural bane of all evil spirits and malignant thoughts in the world.

With just their gaze, the qilin and the Azure Dragon had already seen through the tormented soul imprisoned beneath the layers of black mist cages.

"What a vicious method." The qilin snorted a puff of white air from its nostrils, auspicious light swirling, dispersing the surrounding chill.

"Using the malignant thoughts of this world to imprison the mind of a young child... it's even more detestable than the evil cults and heretics on Earth!"

"You're right. That Golden Dragon King truly deserves death." The Azure Dragon's whiskers swayed, its tone carrying a touch of compassion. "This girl is also a pitiful child."

It withdrew its gaze, looking at Chen Huaian.

The majestic dragon might and the qilin's auspicious aura began to intertwine and rise above the sea surface.

"In that case, we must act without delay."

The Azure Dragon's voice rumbled like deep thunder. "This kind of filthy thing, leave it to me and the qilin. We will begin the rescue immediately!"

Chen Huaian nodded.

He took half a step back, his sleeves fluttering.

He clasped his fists together and gave a solemn, respectful bow towards the two Sacred Beasts.

"Then I must trouble you two Seniors..."

"To lend This Venerable One your strength!"
