Chapter 1438: Chapter 65: Even Artificial Flowers Are Flowers
Even though she already understood the current situation… It was clear to the Godly Land True Dragon that there was another more important matter — this was the outskirts of the city, very outskirts indeed.
To avoid drawing attention, she chose this desolate location to enter the city, but now being forced to land here, Long Xiruo felt terribly frustrated… You can’t even call for a car in this broken place!
Walking back was not impossible, but really walking back… How would she face people in the future!
“Sister Long, there’s no signal here!” The lady with butterfly wings took out her phone and shook it, “I can’t call a car.”
This little butterfly monster probably didn’t care about maintaining face at all… The Godly Land True Dragon who felt life was tiring sighed quietly and walked over to the Golden Dragon who had stopped foaming at the mouth, casually stepping on Fafnir’s arm, “Don’t play dead, get up or I’ll draw a pint of blood from you!”
It opened its eyes resentfully, trembling as it climbed up like a flickering candle in the wind — just then, a light source seemed to shine from afar.
Next came the sound of an engine.
Not far ahead, an off-road vehicle was slowly approaching… The light from the headlights shone in front of them, Long Xiruo instinctively raised her hand to block the blinding light while seeing someone getting out of the car.
As soon as the person stepped off the car… or when the off-road vehicle approached, an uncomfortable feeling stirred in Long Xiruo’s heart — even without seeing the face, she already knew who it was.
The Princess of Xuanyuan Royal Family: Su Zijun.
“You brat, why are you here?” The Godly Land True Dragon exclaimed in surprise.
“Old granny, looks like you haven’t fallen to your death, huh?” Su Zijun shook her head regretfully.
“Wow! Sister Zijun!” The little butterfly monster was extremely happy, like a long-lost reunion — though they hadn’t been apart for long.
“Oh? Isn’t this the little butterfly? Tsk tsk, seems like you’ve gained some weight recently, not bad, not bad, keep feeding…” The Princess of Xuanyuan Royal Family smiled slightly, with faintly visible sharp teeth at the corners of her mouth.
Then like natural adversaries, the Royal Princess and the Godly Land True Dragon glared at each other… After a while, Long Xiruo frowned, “Weren’t you back at Xuanyuan Palace? Why did you come out?”
“Got bored and came out.” Su Zijun shrugged then laughed with her hand over her mouth, “Besides, if I didn’t come out, how could I see you, Granny Long, looking so pathetic?”
“So you came to pick a fight, didn’t you?” Long Xiruo sneered as she walked forward… while moving, she started rolling up her sleeves.
Unfazed, Su Zijun twisted her neck, causing her joints to crackle, “We’re all pretty much the same here, do you think I’m afraid of you?”
“It’s my fault for not disciplining you properly.” The Godly Land True Dragon now looked sorrowful, then suddenly her face turned ferocious, “So, now it’s time to teach you some manners on meeting your elders.”
“Logically, I am the Princess of Xuanyuan Family, and you are the Godly Land True Dragon… Since when can the Godly Land True Dragon discipline the heir of Xuanyuan Royal Family?” Su Zijun remained defiant.
In an instant, they collided together, hands gripping the other’s hands, foreheads touching as they began to wrestle.
“If it was a diligent heir, naturally not, but if it’s a little brat running away from home all the time, surely for the stability of China, I can’t just stand by and watch!”
“You say it so nicely, but aren’t you just lounging at home like a couch potato every day? How did you suddenly become so irritable, like you were dumped by a man? You’ve been single for two thousand years, you should reflect on yourself! There are still some places reserved in the Ice Pool reflection chamber at Xuanyuan Palace, should I arrange for you?”
The Godly Land True Dragon seemed suddenly ignited, veins throbbed on her forehead as she grimly smiled, “My family hospital also has two beds, how about bundling them together for a luxurious package: Sun Essence SPA, Core Fire scraping therapy, plus a Bipolar Magnetic Fire Cup, how does that sound?”
“Oh dear, truly angry, did I hit the nail on the head?”
At this moment, neither of them could really overpower the other — since they were both restricted at the same level, relying solely on physical strength, it would be impossible to determine superiority for the time being.
“Sister Long, Sister Zijun, don’t fight!” The little butterfly monster anxiously ran between the two, “Aren’t you family?”
“Who’s family with this brat!” / “Who’s family with this old hag!”
Luo Pianqian instantly held her head, nearly squatting defensively… just then someone else slowly got off the car — the Fiery Cloud Evil God.
“Dragon Consultant, still as spirited as ever… But can you give me some face and ease up with this Royal Princess for a moment?” Fiery Cloud Evil God spoke slowly.
This was someone whom Long Xiruo was quite surprised to see at this moment; she frowned, exchanged a glare with Su Zijun before snorting lightly and separated.
“Why are you here too, you old fool?”
“Let’s get in the car first,” Fiery Cloud Evil God looked at the surrounding environment, “This isn’t the place to talk, hm… Who might that lady over there be?”
Feeling abandoned to the side, always thinking of escaping but couldn’t, now the Golden Dragon looked towards Fiery Cloud Evil God — who appeared somewhat worn with gray temples.
“There’s actually such an outstanding male in the world… I’m gonna die!”
Fafnir took a deep breath, instinctively posing in an impeccable stance — unfortunately, the whole body was too dry now, from face to feet, just skin and bones, truly unattractive.
“A new handyman at the hospital, ignore her, just bring her along,” Long Xiruo replied casually, “Come, tell me the real business.”
…
The off-road vehicle later drove again, and in less than ten minutes, it arrived in front of a rather crude house — although crude, the house was surrounded by a large fenced area.
In front of the house stood a simplistic wooden sign: Peace Grand Hotel.
“This was land bought with some manipulation by a toad demon; in a few days, he set up a hotel here,” Fiery Cloud Evil God’s expression turned strange as he spoke… He shook his head, “I’m currently staying here for a few days.”
Long Xiruo nodded, as soon as the toad demon was mentioned she knew who was being talked about… swiftly realizing the old Jiang Family’s toad demon’s purpose in securing this place… Peace Grand Hotel? More like Peace Grand Black Shop, a place for collecting protection fees.
“This place needs proper management, can’t just mess around.” Long Xiruo casually commented.
Fiery Cloud Evil God nodded, “I’ll ensure the Management Bureau follows up properly on this, rest assured, Dragon Consultant.”
Only then did they enter the crude [Peace Grand Hotel], quickly greeted by a few employees — naturally, these employees were the little toad demons from the old Jiang Family.
Knowing exactly who had walked in, they dared not neglect… Later, the old Jiang Family’s toad demon also came out, but was sent away by Long Xiruo’s few words.
Only then did they truly sit down.
On the way, Long Xiruo had already learned why Su Zijun and the Fiery Cloud Evil God appeared here at the same time—they actually met by chance.
The Fiery Cloud Evil God rushed over upon receiving the news that the city was sealed overnight—it was a major issue concerning an entire city, so the Management Bureau was uneasy just sending out agents. As the Fiery Cloud Evil God was free, he took a trip himself.
As for Su Zijun… without her having to say it, the true dragon of China could guess the real motive hiding behind her grandiose reasoning—just waiting eagerly to see her in a mess falling from the sky after being sealed!
“Dragon Consultant, what do you think about this matter?” The Fiery Cloud Evil God got straight to the point.
But Long Xiruo was even more direct, “Whether the city is sealed or not, your Management Bureau doesn’t need to bother. If you’re here for tourism, feel free to stroll for a few days; if it’s on business, go back and take a long holiday.”
This was somewhat unexpected for the Fiery Cloud Evil God, and he couldn’t help but frown slightly, “Dragon Consultant, the level of sealing in this city is extraordinary, definitely not something ordinary Taoist magic or demonic arts can create. Therefore, in this situation…”
The true dragon of China directly waved and interrupted, “As I said, you don’t have to care about anything in this city… didn’t you understand? Or do I need to personally visit the capital to greet your headquarters?”
“There’s already an office for the Dragon Consultant at the headquarters,” the Fiery Cloud Evil God said with a bitter smile. “How could it be just a visit? We always welcome your guidance… But since the Dragon Consultant has already spoken, I will certainly do my best to explain to headquarters.”
“If the action can be as pleasant as the talk, I have no objections,” the true dragon of China responded indifferently.
“Then… I won’t disturb your rest any longer.” The Fiery Cloud Evil God wasn’t one for entanglements, directly standing up, “Since the Dragon Consultant came from afar, surely you’re tired.”
He left just like that, without a hint of hesitation—but whether he would truly ignore the city’s transcendent sealing issue… people’s minds, even the true dragon of China couldn’t control, right?
…
Suddenly, the atmosphere here became quiet… The lady with butterfly wings worriedly glanced back and forth between Sister Long and Sister Zijun, fearing they might suddenly start fighting.
Unexpectedly, Long Xiruo suddenly spoke, “Meeting up with the Old Fool like that, no issues? After all, the Old Fool is the heir to the Tiger Soul Knife.”
Su Zijun twisted a strand of hair with her finger, looking lazily out the window, “Probably because of the sealing… everyone’s behaving. Besides, this is just the old feud between Xuanyuan and Chi You… who says descendants must be enemies?”
Long Xiruo didn’t reply, and they fell back into silence.
“What will you do next?” Long Xiruo suddenly asked.
Su Zijun thought for a moment, “Earlier this year, I wiped out many branches of that nuisance club in the West, next I’m planning to target their headquarters.”
Long Xiruo unemotionally replied, “Michael Club recently attacked the headquarters of the Magician’s Association, stirring up conflict between the two. I don’t oppose you messing with Michael Club, but if you encounter people from the Magician’s Association, try not to clash.”
Su Zijun dismissed it, “You think I’m afraid of those who rely on external forces?”
Long Xiruo gave her a glance… A glance that appeared to carry some subtle severity, making Su Zijun somewhat uncomfortable, yet she instinctively held back.
“Inside China, I won’t interfere… but outside, even though you are part of the Murderous God Sword, you can’t unleash most of your power.” The true dragon of China said slowly, “Besides, even those who rely on external forces can reach the pinnacle. The principles of the Taoism’s three thousand paths, you should understand.”
Su Zijun shrugged, “If something really happens to me, isn’t that great… in this China, a hanging threat is gone, peace at last.”
Long Xiruo moved her lips, seemed as if she wanted to say something, but eventually just turned her face aside.
At that moment, Su Zijun yawned, “Anyway, you’ve come back, if there’s nothing else, I’ll wander to the West. Staying in this ghastly place is uncomfortable, unable to use a shred of power. So let’s leave it at that, Granny… later.”
“…Be careful.” Long Xiruo softly said.
“You be careful,” Su Zijun chuckled lightly and directly opened the window—intending to leave from there.
“Sister Zijun! You’re leaving already?” Luo Pianqian called out rather reluctantly.
Su Zijun looked back, with a faint smile, “Remember to eat well and sleep well, hopefully, next time I see you, you’ll have gained a bit more weight.”
Luo Pianqian: “??”
Sister Long always complains she eats too much, while her sister tells her to eat well and gain weight… This she couldn’t understand.
Su Zijun left through the window this way… Perhaps she just wanted to meet Long Xiruo face-to-face, and that was why she lingered—Luo Pianqian suddenly had this thought.
“Ah… I’m hungry.” Suddenly, the true dragon of China stretched lazily, “Pianqian, go ask the Toad from Elder Jiang’s Family to prepare some food!”
“Okay!”
…
…
Dressed in a large prisoner uniform, with the assistance of several detention center officers, the tall but withered figure of 24 was finally pushed into the holding room—still handcuffed.
“Foreigner, assaulting an officer, huh? Just behave yourself in here. No funny business!”
Watching the officers who issued the warning leave, 24 gripped the iron bars in front, frowning deeply… utterly speechless.
He sighed slightly, shook his head, and began to survey the room.
“Oh? A newcomer? Your skin looks pretty good, even if you’re a bit thin.”
From the shadows stepped out a figure—an incredibly muscular man wearing a tank top, quite tall as well.
Watching 24, as he spoke his chest muscles even bounced.
Oh, and finally, the muscular man smiled, revealing pristine white teeth.
