My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 400: You… Have You Met Me?
 

The words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, filled with fawning and flattery, sank like a stone in the sea, not causing the slightest ripple in Long Qingyan’s heart.

All her attention had long been captivated by the black-haired young man standing amidst the ruins, holding the little mermaid protectively in his arms.

Those familiar brows and eyes, those deep-set eyes, that posture that remained upright even under such oppressive force…

How similar he was to the human man she had just caught a fleeting glimpse of in the fragments of time!

Though his demeanor was younger, his strength far from as unfathomable as in those fragments.

Yet, the sense of familiarity from the depths of her soul made her absolutely certain—

It was him!

And Gu Xing, at this moment, had also focused all his attention on this suddenly appearing, incomprehensibly powerful dragon race woman.

Those dragon horns, that dragon tail, all heralded her pure dragon lineage.

This was precisely the target he had been desperately searching for!

However, as his peripheral vision caught sight of the trembling, even sycophantic Deep Sea Demon Whale King under the dragon’s might, his heart sank instantly.

From the words this fierce beast had spoken earlier and its current humble stance, it was not difficult to deduce that it knew this dragon woman, possibly even as her subordinate.

If so, wouldn’t their intrusion mean walking into a trap, standing against this terrifying dragon?

Trouble…”

Gu Xing’s throat involuntarily gulped, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Meanwhile, Long Qingyan slowly recovered from her initial shock.

Gazing at this face just inches away, a thousand words were stuck in her throat.

She really wanted to immediately ask Gu Xing:

“What is the relationship between us? Why are you all over my memories? Why did you appear in that battlefield?”

But when she clearly saw the undisguised bewilderment, unfamiliarity, and wary vigilance in Gu Xing’s eyes…

All the questions that rushed to her lips were swallowed back down forcibly.

His gaze was clearly that of looking at a total stranger…existence.

He didn’t recognize her.

This realization, like a basin of icy water, extinguished the hope that had just ignited in her heart.

A wave of indescribable disappointment and dejection surged within her, and Long Qingyan let out a barely audible sigh, with a hint of helplessness:

“Sigh… perhaps this is destiny.”

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, seeing Long Qingyan’s complete lack of response, thought she was unwilling to take action herself, so it spoke again:

“Please calm down, ma’am! It’s all because of these reckless humans causing disturbance here, disrupting your important matters!”

“Such insignificant beings, no need for you to dirty your hands, I will handle them for you!”

Before the voice even faded away, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed into a dark blue beastly figure, rushing towards Gu Xing and the others!

It intended to atone for its mistakes, using the blood of these humans to quell the master’s anger!

However, just as its body charged halfway, it seemed to hit an invisible, insurmountable wall, suddenly freezing in midair!

An irresistible, terrifying force bound it tightly!

Long Qingyan slowly turned her head, her cold golden dragon eyes resting on the Demon Whale King, her voice calm yet carrying a chilling intent that froze the soul:

“Since when did my matters become your decision to make?”

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning!

It only now fearfully realized it had completely misunderstood!

This mysterious master seemed…

not to want to harm that human!

Realizing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hurriedly pleaded for mercy:

“I’m sorry, ma’am, I shouldn’t have made decisions on my own.”

“Please, ma’am, spare me!”

Yet…

Long Qingyan had already lost her patience.

The prior anger needed an outlet, and she couldn’t possibly strike at Gu Xing.

So it had to be vented on this little tadpole.

She shook her head slightly, then lightly waved her hand.

In the next moment.

The body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King began to shatter abruptly under this force, disappearing.

Its eyes filled with terror, but it couldn’t utter a single word.

All it could do was watch its body gradually vanish.

A fierce beast overlord ruling the seas, with strength reaching Totem Tier Five, was thus obliterated in both spirit and form, as if it never existed.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xing’s vigilance intensified.

A Totem Tier Five fierce beast had no ability to resist in the hands of this dragon.

This also meant that Liu Li and Vera would fare no better in the hands of this dragon.

If only this dragon were to strike at the two guardian beasts, they, too, would end up the same as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The two guardian beasts also found their bodies turning rigid.

They were most aware of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s strength.

Yet, in the hands of this suddenly appearing woman, it was easily obliterated.

Liu Li’s low voice sounded:

“Master, later Vera and I will step forward to hold off this woman, you take Sally and quickly leave!”

Within the ruins of the Time Spirit Race, Sally could achieve extreme speed through time acceleration.

Therefore, as long as the two could hold off this woman for a moment.

Perhaps their master could successfully escape!

Yet…

Long Qingyan seemed to see through the two guardian beasts’ thoughts.

She merely waved her hand gently.

Liu Li, Vera, even Sally and the Snow Woman, all felt their bodies suddenly become unresponsive.

No matter what action they tried to take, there was no response.

Upon seeing this, the guardian beasts yelled instantly:

“Master, run!”

And Long Qingyan, hearing these voices, found them annoying.

She waved her hand again.

The guardian beasts could no longer even make a sound.

Once all the disturbances vanished, she refocused her gaze on Gu Xing.

Gu Xing also realized by now, this dragon seemed to have no intention of harming him.

In that case, it meant there was room for discussion.

As he was about to speak…

He suddenly realized that Long Qingyan already appeared before him.

The movement speed that left no trace utterly amazed Gu Xing again.

Long Qingyan carefully scrutinized Gu Xing’s face.

A moment later.

She nodded again.

No mistake.

In terms of appearance and the aura he emitted, it was identical.

Then, looking at Gu Xing, who seemed extremely tense, she slowly spoke:

“What’s your name?”

Hearing this question, Gu Xing was stunned.

But he instinctively responded:

“Gu Xing!”

Upon hearing the name, Long Qingyan nodded, silently memorizing it.

“Do you know me?”

Hearing this question, Gu Xing was taken aback.

Know?

He looked at Long Qingyan again, completely unfamiliar.

This was indeed their first meeting.

He shook his head.

Receiving this expected yet still disheartening answer, Long Qingyan’s eyes glimmered with a momentary, indiscernible dimness.

But she didn’t question further; she merely stood quietly before Gu Xing, in silence.

She didn’t know what to ask anymore.

This eerie silence added pressure on Gu Xing.

He took a deep breath, looking at the close-by Long Qingyan, voluntarily breaking the silence:

“Have you… seen me before?”
