It wasn’t until she met “Young Master Long” that Zixing was sure that what Lang Yong and Lang Wu said was true.
Young Master Long looked like a little human girl, but she exuded the dragon’s spiritual qi at the same time. Her dragon blood wasn’t tainted but had a pure dragon spiritual qi in it.
As the Greedy Wolf Clan Young Master, Zixing’s perception was much sharper than Lang Yong’s and Lang Wu’s. She didn’t quite believe Lang Yong’s argument that “Young Master Long” might be the True Dragon of Divine Land’s illegitimate child.
Compared to this speculation, Zixing had other things occupying her mind. In the ancient heritage of Greedy Wolf Clan, there was a record of Divine Land’s True Dragon. It was the result of a talent in the Greedy Wolf Clan who drew his sword to the True Dragon of Divine Land in the long history. Hence, the Greedy Wolf Clan had more knowledge about True Dragon of Divine Land than other demon beast clans through that incident.
The title ‘True Dragon of Divine Land’ didn’t directly refer to the dragon race. Hence, its difference from the ancient dragon clan should be acknowledged. To be more precise, True Dragon of Divine Land was the dragon vein at Divine Land.
A dragon vein that could suppress the fortune spanned thousands of years beneath the Divine Land. True Dragon of Divine Land was born from this dragon vein. They were selected as the carrier to roam the mortal’s world and be the guardian of the Divine Land.
Is this “Young Master Long” the next generation’s True Dragon?
If this is the case, is Master Long facing any problem now? ‘Young Master Long’ claims to be the successor of Master Long. From the spiritual qi’s point of view, I’m afraid she is much more robust than Mo Xiaofei.
When Zixing assessed Young Master Long, Young Master Long naturally did the same to Young Master Zixing from the Greedy Wolf Clan.
Long Xiruo had been through grand occasions. Even if all the great demon beast kings in the world came to her, she would still be unfazed. Hence, she wasn’t intimidated by the Greedy Wolf Clan Young Master at all.
It was just that Long Xiruo felt like her secret was seen through under the girl’s gaze. Long Xiruo said calmly, “So, you are the Greedy Wolf Clan’s Young Master Zixing.”
Zixing nodded. Before she figured out the Young Master Long’s identity, she planned to maintain as much respect as possible for the Divine Land’s good faith. “Lang Yong once said that Young Master Long is Master Long’s successor.”
“Successor?” Long Xiruo replied.
Long Xiruo had been thinking about explaining her existence before she found a way to retrieve her appearance. She gave a strict order to Mo Xiaofei not to reveal it. The only other person who knew it was Gui Qianyi. Old Tortoise understood the seriousness of the matter, so naturally, he wouldn’t speak about it.
During these times, she either appeared as Gui Qianyi’s disciple or as a “suspected descendant of Xuan Yuan Royal Family.” Although she managed to buy time with this, it would pose her problem if she had to face more demon beasts and even the country leader in the end.
Worse still, she didn’t know why she couldn’t recover despite the fact that a long time had passed.
The Divine Land’s True Dragon was in desperation. What could she do? Would she head back to the store and scold the profiteers (the club) again? What if they turn her into a baby girl?
“It turns out to be the True Dragon Saintess.” Zixing put on a stern face and greeted respectfully, “Greedy Wolf Zixing greets Your Majesty Dragon Saintess!”
If the True Dragon’s successor were a male, that would be the Dragon’s Son; if the successor were a female, she would be Saintess. This was a tradition passed down since ancient times.
“Let’s cut into the chase.” Long Xiruo didn’t bother to care about her current identity. It would be fine as long as she could bluff it. “I heard from your underlings that your group came out of the plateau and are heading to Mount Tai. An unknown person attacked you on the way to the altar with the Greedy Wolf Clan’s secret treasure snatched away. Then you were injured with your whereabouts unknown.”
“That was a shame.” Zixing sighed while admitting her defeat, “I underestimated the enemy and came into this situation. Sorry for the poor performance, Dragon Saintess.”
Long Xiruo shook her head, “Young Master Zixing inherits the Yin Greedy Wolf’s power and is also the priest for Greedy Wolf Clan. Your strength is on an equal level to the greater demon beast king. Although you are young, you’re accompanied by the Greedy Wolf Clan’s warriors. Yet, the opponent gets to leave in peace. The opponent should be formidable. Do you know the origin of the opponent?”
“I only know it’s a woman with white hair.” Zixing frowned and said, “She uses a weird blade. But it’s not like the magic tools the Divine Land’s cultivators crafted. This mysterious woman has an oriental face. Judging from her bone structure, she is young, most likely not over 30 years old.”
Long Xiruo lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said abruptly, “Do you remember the opponent’s face?”
Zixing nodded, then took a glance at the office desk. She said directly, “Dragon Saintess, can I borrow a paper and pen?”
“Go ahead.” Long Xiruo nodded. She recalled Lang Yong’s ability as a soul painter. Young Master Zixing should be, too, right?
Zixing pulled out a piece of A4 paper, took a pencil, and began to draw a detailed outline. Looking at Zixing’s professional craft, Long Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief.
En! She seems to be proficient.
Young Master Zixing had elegant mannerisms. Such a young girl was unique among the Greedy Wolf Clan, which was known to be a warmonger clan. Those brave and ruthless warriors did a great job in nurturing an excellent young master.
“I think you have a trace of Buddhahood in you. Have you ever cultivated Buddhism?” Long Xiruo suddenly asked.
Zixing said slowly, “I studied Buddhism for some time with the Buddhist of the previous generation at the Holy Palace Lhasa in the plateau.”
Long Xiruo nodded and said nonchalantly, “Yin Greedy Wolf is the inheritance dedicated to Young Master Zixing. If every Young Master Zixing can’t meet the contemporary Greedy Wolf Star, the Yin Greedy Wolf’s vicious qi will eventually swallow the person. It will not end well. It seems that after countless years of lessons, the Greedy Wolf Clan turns smarter. Your clan seems to realize that learning Buddhism cleanses Yin Greedy Wolf’s vicious qi from the inside. Hmph, it seems that the results are not bad.”
Long Xiruo did not feel vicious qi from Yin Greedy Wolf in Zixing, and the Yin Greedy Wolf’s power was quite pure. Also, Yin Greedy Wolf was dormant now, most likely due to the previous injury. That was enough to impress Long Xiruo.
“Dragon Saintess praises me too much,” said Zixing calmly. She then stopped drawing and sent the A4 paper in front of Long Xiruo.
Long Xiruo took a look, and her expression became a little weird.
There’s messy hair and thick lips. The nose seems to be upright, but the eyes are too big. Is this an alien or an Asian young lady?
Fuck! This girl is one hell of a soul painter!
“Has Dragon Saintess ever met this person?” Zixing looked solemnly. After all, it was related to the whereabouts of the clan’s secret treasure.
Long Xiruo folded the A4 paper and slowly said, “I have no impression of her, but I will help you pay attention to this person. As long as she is still in Divine Land, she won’t escape.”
Of course, Zixing would not think that the Dragon Sage was exaggerating. If Dragon Saint releases the news that she was looking for someone in the name of Divine Land Master Long, there would naturally be countless demon beasts willing to investigate it to earn the True Dragon’s favor. Even the official organization in this country would mobilize the local forces to find the person.
“Zixing thanks Dragon Saintess in advance.” Zixing bowed, “If we can find the secret treasure in the future, Zixing will pay a visit again. Thank you, Dragon Saintess.”
Dragon Saintess’s status wasn’t as prominent as the True Dragon of Divine Land. Hence, having the Greedy Wolf Clan’s gratitude was the utmost respect from Zixing.
“Let’s wait till you return.” Long Xiruo waved her hand, “Now you and your subordinates are injured. Please stay in the hospital for treatment during this period. I will prepare some medicine for you.”
“Thank you, Dragon Saintess.” Zixing nodded. She planned to recuperate too. Divine Land Master Long’s hospital was naturally a safer place. Who dared to offend this place?
“Nothing, just go and rest.” Long Xiruo shook her head, “You must have a lot to catch up with your subordinates.”
Zixing suddenly asked, “Dragon Saintess, Zixing wants to show Master Long something face to face. I wonder if she…”
“She won’t be back for a short time.” Long Xiruo casually said, “She has gone overseas to collect medicine. If you have anything else, you can tell me. If it is imperative, I can contact her with a secret technique.
Zixing thought about it and then talked about the bizarre encounter in the movie theater and everything that happened in the Yan Wuyue World.
Long Xiruo listened to the story intently. When she heard about the world fragment, her breathing became a little faster. It became difficult for her to keep calm.
She did not interrupt Zixing’s narrative, but listened attentively.
…
Lanling Mansion was not a hotel but a high-end lounge selling red wine.
After the taxi stopped, Wang Yuechuan paid and walked into the Lanling Mansion with his head down. Following the instructions of the person arranged to him, Wang Yuechuan soon arrived in one of the private booths in the Lanling Mansion.
He knocked on the door with his body tense to prepare for anything that could happen.
“Come in. The door is not locked.”
It was a slightly hoarse, low-pitched man’s voice.
Wang Yuechuan pushed the door directly in. On the sofa in the center of the wine-tasting booth, he saw a man with an average face that tended to be easily ignored in the crowd. He was swirling the goblet in his hand.
Wang Yuechuan frowned. This man looked like he was in his thirties. Although he seemed rather ordinary, his demeanor was not simple. Wang Yuechuan whispered the secret code.
The man quickly replied and smiled slightly, “The man said that you happened to encounter a little trouble. I thought I would have to wait here for at least one day. I didn’t expect you to come here soon. That’s unexpected.”
“It was just an accident.” Wang Yuechuan shook his head, then said sternly, “How do I address you?”
“Take a seat first.” The man pointed to a single sofa next to him and began to pour red wine into an empty glass. “The consumption here can be reimbursed. If we don’t drink, it will be a waste.”
“I don’t drink during missions.” Wang Yuechuan sat but refused the other party’s invitation.
“If I said, this is also related to the mission?” The man smiled lightly again, “If I remember correctly, you should cooperate with me unconditionally from the moment you saw me.”
Wang Yuechuan stared at the other party but couldn’t see any clue in the other party’s eyes. Without speaking a word, he picked up the glass directly and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
“I like the heroic spirit.” The man smiled, “Let me introduce myself. My name is 18.”
“18?” Wang Yuechuan was taken aback. Getting such a name made him feel like he was being fooled.
18 shrugged and said, “Is it weird? Name is just a way to call someone. 18 is my nickname.”
Nickname… Using a number as the nickname. Hence, no name shall be disclosed?
Wang Yuechuan came into realization in his heart. Typically speaking, if one had a number as a nickname, the origin was worth pondering. The person could have originated from a secret department – a particular profession.
“Wang Yuechuan.” Wang Yuechuan said his name out directly. With that, the introduction concluded.
18 cheered with Wang Yuechuan and said happily, “It’s nice to meet you, Wang Yuechuan. I toast our upcoming cooperation.”
Wang Yuechuan frowned but took another sip. It was a small sip this time.
The red wine was intense. Although Wang Yuechan had excellent alcohol tolerance, he would never let too much alcohol in his body to prevent his judgment from being affected. Even if the ramification merely had the body slightly warm, he would not allow it.
“What exactly is the mission?” Wang Yuechuan asked directly.
18 put down the wine glass while fiddling with his fingers. He asked lightly, “Don’t worry about it. You will know later. But before I start, I want to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer me seriously.”
Is this a test? The mission is getting more and more mysterious. Wang Yuechuan became more puzzled.
“Ask ahead.” Wang Yuechuan said forthrightly.
“First question.” 18 stared into Wang Yuechuan’s eyes, “If I let you give up your identity as a policeman and live in the dark forever without seeing the light, would you be willing?”
Wang Yuechuan frowned. This question seems to hint…
He suddenly raised his head and stared at 18, “Is my mission to be undercover?”
Wang Yuechuan had performed many missions during his career. He had dealt with a group of drug dealers alone. He also guarded many VIPs and experienced several life and death incidents. But speaking of undercover, it was the first time.
“You need to answer me first.” 18 emphasized.
“I obey the official arrangement.” Wang Yuechuan took a deep breath and responded slowly.
“Second question.” 18 did not intend to stop and asked again, “When the organization behind you abandons you, when this country abandons you with no one acknowledging you, and even intends to kill you, what will you do?”
“What is my mission?” Wang Yuechuan’s voice sank.
18’s first question baffled Wang Yuechuan already. The second question made Wang Yuechuan realize the seriousness of the matter.
“You still need to answer my question first.” 18 leaned back and said, “Of course, you can choose not to answer, but I will treat it as your initiative to give up. I will let that person find another person for me again. Actually, I don’t need an underperforming one.
Wang Yuechuan’s pupils dilated, but he forced himself to calm down. He stared at 18, “Even if the organization abandons me, the country abandons me and even kills me, I will complete the mission.”
“Awesome.” 18 showed a pleasant smile. He suddenly stood up, then walked to the window of the room. He beckoned to Wang Yuechuan, motioning him to come.
Wang Yuechuan walked to the window and looked out the window.
At this time, 18 joked, “Did you see the traffic policeman downstairs giving a ticket?”
Wang Yuechuan nodded.
18 sneered at this moment, “Go and kill him.”
“What!?” Wang Yuechuan exclaimed.
18 said indifferently at this time, “The third and final question. Will you kill the traffic police? At the same time, this is also the beginning of your mission.”
Wang Yuechuan’s brain went blank at the moment, and his face turned gloomy.
