"Ahem..." Bai Ling stopped her forward steps, looking at Ao Yuan hesitantly, afraid that if he got angry, he would just wave his hand and destroy her.
"Alright, let's go!" Ao Yuan shook his head impatiently.
"Let's go for a stroll!"
Bai Ling quickly agreed, "Oh, okay."
She took two steps and made them into one, catching up to Ao Yuan and following him obediently like a little shadow.
In front of others, she could be unrestrained, but in front of Ao Yuan, Bai Ling dared not show any disrespect.
However, her peripheral vision couldn't help but sweep over Ao Yuan.
The current Ao Yuan was completely different from the Ao Yuan she had seen before.
The biggest change was the aura emanating from Ao Yuan.
It had transformed from immense pressure to something akin to an ordinary person.
"Could it be... the Dragon God's strength has improved again?" Bai Ling tilted her head, unable to help but wonder.
The thought made Bai Ling find it incredible.
How much time had passed?
Ao Yuan's strength had improved again?
And his strength was already comparable to a deity.
Then how strong must he be now?
Perhaps even deities couldn't compare?
"As expected of the number one powerhouse of Blue Star."
"What are you thinking about?"
Ao Yuan had walked halfway and realized Bai Ling wasn't following, so he turned back and asked.
"Ah... Oh, I'm coming right now!" Bai Ling snapped back to attention and followed his pace.
"Let's go, let's walk around," Ao Yuan casually walked along the roadside.
Bai Ling, however, followed him timidly, like a little maid.
At this moment.
As Ao Yuan moved, the surrounding empty landscape rapidly changed.
In just a few seconds, Ao Yuan and Bai Ling had moved from an open area to a crowded city.
"So many people?" Looking at the figures around them, Bai Ling felt an involuntary sense of panic.
Humans feared demonic beasts, and similarly, demonic beasts feared humans.
Ao Yuan looked at the moving figures around him and felt a sense of familiarity. "It's alright, let's just wander around."
With that, he led Bai Ling to stroll around.
"Dragon... Dragon God, why are they all looking at us?" Suddenly, Bai Ling shrank behind Ao Yuan, her beautiful eyes nervously scanning the people around them.
"Probably because you're too beautiful," Ao Yuan looked at Bai Ling, feeling a slight emotion.
Bai Ling truly lived up to her fox clan heritage; after transforming, she possessed a naturally beautiful appearance.
"Bea... beautiful?" Bai Ling tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then a charming smile appeared on her face.
Soon, looking at the bustling surroundings and the lively calls of the street vendors, the initially reserved Bai Ling was quickly captivated.
"Dragon... Dragon God, I..." Bai Ling turned to look at the street vendors, swallowed nervously, and stammered.
"What? Want to eat?" Ao Yuan smiled.
Hearing this, Bai Ling nodded like a pecking chicken, her desire evident.
"If you want to eat, go buy some. I'm here, nothing will happen."
Upon receiving Ao Yuan's approval, Bai Ling rejoiced and hopped towards the surrounding street vendors.
"Wait..." Ao Yuan suddenly stopped Bai Ling. In her confused gaze, he conjured several red banknotes out of thin air and handed them to her, saying, "Later, if you want anything, give these to them."
"Oh, okay." Bai Ling was suspicious but nodded slightly to show she understood.
Not long after.
Bai Ling returned, her face flushed with excitement, carrying large bags and small packages.
At this moment.
Her mouth was oily, as if she had eaten something exceptionally delicious.
"Dragon God, this... this food is truly delicious."
Bai Ling picked up a bag of fried skewers, took several large bites, her cherry-like mouth bulging, and asked, "Do you want some?"
Looking at Bai Ling, Ao Yuan waved his hand in disdain. "No need."
Ao Yuan had eaten these things to his heart's content in his previous life. Only someone like Bai Ling, who had never tasted them, would find them so delicious.
"If you don't want any, then it's all mine!" Bai Ling smiled and quickly pulled her hand back.
"Let's go, let's continue exploring!" Ao Yuan walked forward.
Bai Ling shook her head, finished the fried skewers in her mouth, and then swallowed a large gulp. "I'm not going anymore."
"Are you sure?"
Ao Yuan said, "There's even more delicious food inside."
"Ah..."
Bai Ling looked up, blinked her eyes, and then moved her feet. "Well, since there's more, then let's walk a bit more."
Ao Yuan chuckled, surprised to find that Bai Ling was actually a foodie.
As they reached the depths of the alley and inhaled the aroma wafting through the air, Bai Ling acted as if she had arrived in heaven, devouring the delicacies in her hands greedily.
Then, she darted between the street vendors like a rabbit.
Ao Yuan did not follow suit but stood quietly by the side, savoring the long-lost sense of mundane life.
For some reason, the atmosphere here made him feel very comfortable.
"Hm?"
Just then, Ao Yuan looked into the distance, his eyes suddenly narrowing.
Because at this moment, he sensed a terrifying aura of danger approaching from afar.
This aura was not directed at him, but it was heading straight this way.
"Let's go see!"
Ao Yuan frowned. Although the aura wasn't aimed at him, this was Daxia.
Whether it was due to his past life or his current self, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
At this moment, Bai Ling, who was lingering amongst the various vendors, had not noticed that Ao Yuan had disappeared.
However, the red banknotes Ao Yuan had given her were decreasing one by one.
...
Meanwhile.
Ao Yuan's figure flickered, and he quickly arrived at the coast, which was the border of Daxia. 138 Reading Network.
He could sense that the dangerous aura was emanating from afar and rolling towards this place.
Upon arriving, Ao Yuan saw hundreds of fully armed Daxia soldiers standing guard with ramrod-straight postures.
"Huh!"
After scanning the soldiers, Ao Yuan's gaze paused.
He recognized a familiar figure among these Daxia soldiers.
Xie Churan!
If he remembered correctly, that was her name.
"Wasn't she from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Bureau? Why is she here?"
As Ao Yuan looked at them, Xie Churan seemed to sense something and also looked over.
"Who!"
A sharp cry rang out, and Xie Churan's face became stern.
At this moment.
At the Daxia border, Ao Yuan and hundreds of Daxia soldiers' gazes met in mid-air.
"Who goes there!"
"This is the Daxia border, this is not a place you can come to!"
Upon seeing Ao Yuan, more than a hundred Daxia soldiers immediately tensed up.
But when they realized Ao Yuan was just an ordinary person, their hearts relaxed.
"Hey, this is not a place you can come to."
"Hurry up and go back!"
A Daxia soldier kindly reminded him. To their surprise, Xie Churan's face darkened, and a surge of spiritual energy emanated from her, directed straight at Ao Yuan.
It seemed as if she was ready to fight if words failed.
