Immediately after, a dazzling white light beam descended from the sky. Along with the beam came an immense force of spiritual power pushing down on the medicinal field.

When the beam of light made contact, it quickly spread. In the blink of an eye, it covered every inch of the ground in the medicinal field.

To add onto that, all the warriors standing in the middle of the light beam seemed to be isolated from everyone else. They seemed to have become invisible, nobody could see or hear them anymore.

Everyone couldn’t help but panic. Most of all, this group of people who just experienced the impact of Intoxicated Blood Poison. At this moment, their hearts were filled with fear of the unknown.

Nangong Yu’s response quickly covered Hexi and Qing Long with his void spiritual barrier. Wu Yu waited for everyone else to be enveloped.

However, just as he was about to pull Hexi into his embrace, a green beam quickly shot towards Hexi.

For a moment, Hexi didn’t even process what had happened. She only felt a boom in her head and following that, everything in front of her eyes changed.

After returning back to her soul 1, Hexi found herself in both an unfamiliar yet familiar place.

She said it was familiar because this was the place she had met the Little Golden Dragon and lifted it’s seal.

She said it was unfamiliar because this originally dusky and narrow space had undergone some large changes.

The whole space had become gold and jade in glorious splendor 2. There were countless night pearls hanging from the ceiling, giving off a soft yet bright light.

Originally, there were fuzzy mirrors all around, but now, they all seemed clear.

The mirror showed the scene inside the secret territory, including Nangong Yu and everyone else’s images.

However, currently, the images in the mirror were all frozen, as if time had completely stopped in the secret territory.

There was suspicion in Hexi’s heart. She secretly thought, could it be that because the Little Golden Dragon ate the Divine Dragon Fruit and woke up, bringing her back to his original nest?

At this moment, she heard the Little Golden Dragon’s old and decrepit voice. “Woman, at least one can say you have a good heart. You know that benzang 3 got such an injury in order to save you, so you obtained the Divine Dragon Fruit for benzang. At least benzang’s efforts in Zijin Palace weren’t wasted!”

After that was said, a very small gold dragon sitting on a pink cloud came down in front of Hexi.

It seems that the Little Golden Dragon had completely healed by now, the golden scales on his body were glistening. Along with his body’s originally thumb-sized width got wider.

However, the cotton candy-like pink cloud he was riding on, when matched with his tiny body, didn’t match the fact that he was the noble and mighty golden dragon.

Hexi restrained herself from smiling, “At least your scales resemble a dragon’s now, unlike before when someone could’ve mistaken you as a snake.”

The Little Golden Dragon suddenly became angry at Hexi, pointing at her and cursing incessantly.

Hexi suddenly got rid of her teasing tone, “No matter what, thank you for protecting Dan Dan at Zijin Palace, and thank you for protecting me too.”

The Little Golden Dragon’s scolding stopped and coldly snorted. “This still isn’t good enough!”

Hexi didn’t mind his arrogant character and changed the subject. “As long as you’re good, then it’s good. Why did you suddenly bring me back to this room?”

“What of this matter of me bringing you back?” Having heard what was said, the Little Golden Dragon raised it’s voice, “It’s clearly you who triggered the secret territory’s restriction, starting the transfer of the secret territory’s controlling right.”

1 After returning back to her soul – In this case, Hexi didn’t actually leave her soul, she just returned from la-la land.

2 gold and jade in glorious splendor – a dazzling sight

3 benzang – literally translates as ‘this senior’
