Chapter Six, Visitors from the East Sea

Its front paws moved as swiftly as a phantom, tapping away at the keyboard in a flurry, completely disregarding the pile of work emails accumulating in the lower left corner of the desk, while the dog's eyes were inscribed with the two large characters '周' and '拯'.

Your Highness, the doppelgänger of His Highness is waiting for you over there. His Highness's doppelgänger is unable to meet with outsiders. Would you consider moving over...

Uncle Fu's broad fingers pressed the play button

Zhou Zheng felt dazzled and did not have time to take any action throughout the entire process

Unfortunately, the number of clicks was only in the hundreds, and there were merely a few comments, which led Zhou Zheng to later switch to other avenues for making money

Zhou Zheng had done similar things when he was in school and had also considered releasing similar videos to earn some remuneration

A hoarse yet gentle voice sounded from the left side

Zhou Zheng grew up in an orphanage. In his youth, he often got into fights without understanding the consequences, and he is all too familiar with this kind of gaze

Our Dragon Palace has not yet risen to power, and the internal conflicts are exceedingly perilous; this place is no longer safe

Many silhouettes appeared around.

"In your opinion, is she approaching Zhou Zheng truly out of gratitude?" asked Uncle Fu

I just knew ... ...

Zhou Zheng turned his head to glance at Ao Ying beside him, only to find that she was pretending not to have heard anything; she was gazing out at the cityscape through the car window, giving him a beautiful view of the back of her head.

The wolf's mouth curled into a grin under the moonlight

The sound of the brakes lingered in the open space for quite a while

"Well, " Zhou Zheng's body was sprawled against the back of the seat, "First, cough, you come down first."

The surrounding mist is thicker

Maintain control over the scale

Xiao Yue was momentarily taken aback, but quickly regained composure and hurriedly said: "Uncle Fu, please rest assured, I will spare no effort in nurturing... nurturing your esteemed nephew!"

Let her go; a little dragon cannot stir up much of a storm. Since Zhou Zheng has decided to cultivate himself, his interactions with Ao Ying will indeed bring many benefits.

As the situation unfolded before him, Zhou Zheng did not falter; instead, he revealed a hint of a smile and calmly asked:

Ao Ying furrowed her brows and pursed her lips, softly saying: "Fourth Aunt, my text message should have made it clear. You could have just come to deliver some elixirs to me. Why go through such a fuss?"

As Xiao Yue's figure just appeared in his spacious and luxurious office, he barely steadied himself before leaping forward with all four limbs to the computer.

The leader possesses high moral integrity, and everything is decided by subordinates on their own accord, granting a slight privilege to the leader's family and friends

I am fine with anything, I will be waiting for you tomorrow, and you can bring Ao Ying along with you

There is one more thing you should be aware of

It seems that you were simply playing on your phone just now

That being said, Zhou Zheng still secretly opened the chat application on his phone, found Xiaoyue's avatar, and switched to the voice message input mode.

Uncle Fu slightly turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yue with the corner of his eye

Master, this does not seem to be the way to Xingguang

Does this imply... that we should jump out of the car

Just now, Xiaoyue reminded himself that the people of the Dragon Palace might cause trouble for him, a mere mortal, because of Ao Ying's act of gratitude

When she looked up at Zhou Zheng, there was a hint of apology in her eyes

Ah, this, I shall obey your command

The driver forced a smile at the corners of his mouth and said in a rough voice, "I apologize, Your Highness the Third."

The guardian spirit of this city cannot truly believe that he is in a romantic relationship with Ao Ying

Moreover, the impression that Ao Ying gives me is quite different from those dragon clans who live in luxury and are oblivious to others. Whether it is doing laundry and cooking, or singing and dancing, Ao Ying seems to be exceptionally skilled at all of these.

The old turtle immortal revealed a bitter smile and bowed his head to Aoying in greeting

You only need to inform the manager of the Dragon Palace that the Dragon Maiden is present, and there is no need to concern yourself with anything else

A synchronized sound emerged as this group of strong men simultaneously knelt on one knee

He felt that the other party was indeed making a fuss over nothing; there was no need for transformation when dealing with a young man like himself, who had yet to cultivate any real skills and only possessed a slight charm.

At Ao Ying's home, we will send a message next, stating that Ao Ying is safe here in Longchen City, and we will try to avoid mentioning your presence

As soon as the words left his mouth, the fishbone decoration on the driver's wrist emitted a deep blue glow, instantly enveloping the taxi's doors and roof in a layer of aquamarine radiance

I will treat you to a dog meat hot pot, and I will bring the pot

The old turtle sage began to invoke the divine power of "Bitter Words and Heartfelt Advice"

Chirp

Each time she called him "husband," it was so natural, clearly indicating that she had made a lot of preparations

But Xiao Yue thought of something and quietly asked: "What should be done about Ao Yingying from the Dragon Palace?"

Then let me congratulate you, Xiao Yue, for discovering an unexpected celestial seedling

Ao Ying's expression froze for a moment, and she immediately realized something, giving a slight nod.

At this moment, the fingers, as white as jade, lifted that delicate hand, resembling a little person walking, traversing mountains and rivers, making its way towards Zhou Zheng's hand.

Its eyes narrowed slightly, and layers of neck wrinkles appeared, followed by the neck wrinkles splitting open into blood-red openings, resembling fish gills

The background music of the video suddenly became grandiose

Zhou Zheng avoided these trivial topics: "Thank you for your concern, instructor. I will come over tomorrow. When will you be available, instructor?"

What is the efficiency of a celestial being in handling affairs

What does everyone want to do

It is all the heavenly court now

Who allowed you to come here

He calmly got out of the car, watching Ao Ying fuming with anger.

The hostility of the fish essence

They are dressed in suits, wearing sunglasses, and have Bluetooth earphones in their ears

Zhou Zheng has already realized something, and his expression can be considered calm, though he let out a slight sigh in his heart

However, there is no need to worry, as we are in charge here; the rules at sea are different from those on land

Your Highness

Ao Ying turned her head to look at Zhou Zheng and said softly, "I will go talk to my elder sister and will be back shortly"

... ...

Xiao Yue was very clear about this—Uncle Fu had instructed him to make sure to arrange everything properly for Brother Zhou

Clearly, they are the elite guards of the Dragon Palace, yet they have created an atmosphere reminiscent of the Dragon Palace Group's reception department

Tomorrow ... um, well, when you have time, come to 28 Xingfu Street for an interview, preferably in the next few days

Zhou Zheng's lips twitched slightly

Uncle Fu pushed up his glasses and cheerfully gave instructions

If you are fond of this mortal young man, it would be permissible to take him back with you; your request will certainly be granted by His Highness the Crown Prince

If I am not mistaken, their people may come looking for you later, as some might feel envious of your good fortune and such

Zhou Zheng stood quietly beside.

The subordinate heard through the divine ability of the listening ear that she said this while chatting with Zhou Zheng last night

"This is the guardian of my home, so you need not worry."

Go

Friend

Xiao Yue ran to the door, and two dog paws quickly formed seals. Several flames appeared around it, and with the flickering flames, its figure instantly vanished, leaving no trace behind.

On that slowly moving yellow taxi

He can only feel fortunate that Ao Ying did not call him husband

Once again, there is the sound of gurgling.

After Xiaoyue left for a long time, the silent Uncle Fu slowly let out a sigh

Alright, alright

Ao Ying raised her head to look at the seat in front of her, a faint golden light shimmering in her eyes, and then her expression changed.

Zhou Zheng maintained a relatively calm expression, pressed the button to record audio, and said to those around him:

As the howling moon ended the call, a few dark lines slowly appeared on Zhou Zheng's forehead

In this way, it solidifies her purpose of coming here for training, under our protection, to prevent those sea spirits from claiming that she was bewitched by you

As the mist receded, the silhouettes revealed their features— a group of strong men ranging from 1.9 to 2 meters in height

Ao Ying immediately rushed over, grabbing Zhou Zheng and slamming him against the side of the car door, her jade-like white hand striking the car door beside Zhou Zheng

Is that so

However, the matters concerning you here have likely already reached the ears of the eighteen demon kings

Your Highness, it is indeed your lack of caution

I take my leave, Your Excellency!

Zhou Zheng felt somewhat perplexed

Accompanied by the sound of fabric being torn, he seemed to inflate like a balloon, growing from 1.9 meters to 2 meters tall, with muscles bulging all over his body, and a gray fin protruding from his back

Ah, this!

In principle, we, the guardians of a happy life, will not interfere in your relationship with Ao Ying. However, Zhou Zheng, you need to learn to control the boundaries... You understand what I mean, right? If a situation arises that cannot be resolved, it will be difficult for everyone.

With a sense of satisfaction that says, 'Just wait, I will show you'

The reflection of the taxi driver in the rearview mirror reveals a face with sharp features and a somewhat indifferent expression, and the Bluetooth headset he is wearing appears to be of high quality

I have boarded!

Xiao Yue hurriedly lowered his dog's head, suddenly feeling an immense pressure

Is this the demeanor of an immortal

On the contrary

Video Title: "I Had a Dream Last Night While Having a Fever"

Go ahead, have a good conversation

The video suddenly turned black, followed by some golden light effects, zooming out to a long shot that obscured the surface features

Not far ahead, there is actually a thick mass of fog

Xiao Yue's heart is now in turmoil

The suited man driving the car said softly: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister wishes to speak with you"

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe there may be some misunderstanding; I am a friend of your Third Highness.

This matter is indeed ... ...

The gaze carried a hint of ferocity

Ao Ying lowered her head to take a glance, and could not help but feel her cheeks flush with embarrassment. She stammered, unsure of what to say, and turned back to her original position.

After providing a detailed account of the conversation with Zhou Zheng, Uncle Fu fell into a prolonged silence

Fortunately, it had a moment of inspiration earlier and recorded the conversation with Zhou Zheng using magic; otherwise, it would truly be difficult to explain now

This video was produced by Zhou Zheng.

Along with this, there is also the imposing figure of this strong man

No matter how many strong men come, he will definitely not be able to handle them

These strong men began to move their necks and limbs, their joints cracking and popping all over, and their gazes were often unfriendly

This has nothing to do with him; just now, the old turtle sage cast a rather kind glance over, which reassured Zhou Zheng quite a bit

Still the female version of Turtle Prime Minister

Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to respond, Xiao Yue earnestly advised him again

You all! Hmph!

The burly man in a suit, who was the driver, pushed open the car door and stepped out

Xiao Yue replied earnestly

Zhou Zheng suddenly thought of something

The taxi drove smoothly through the thick fog, made several turns, and entered a quiet parking lot

Uncle Fu slowly got up and walked to the window, gazing through the curtains in the direction of the Zhou Zheng family's location

Ao Ying's left hand rested beside him

Uncle Fu suddenly burst into silent laughter

Zhou Zheng, your matter has been preliminarily decided after the research conducted by me and other instructors at the base

He is still just a mortal

The video content features accelerated gameplay, showcasing a pixelated character running back and forth, while a grand hall is methodically and swiftly taking shape, from its foundation to the supporting stone pillars, and finally to the intricate roof.

The old woman’s cane touched the ground, and beside her, a burly man in a suit stepped forward, throwing a snow marten that had already lost its life onto the ground

He decided to take some action

It does not use the honorific "you" at all

She quietly reached out and grabbed Zhou Zheng's arm, winked at him, and then looked towards the car door beside him

Zhou Zheng's phone vibrated several times, and he discovered it was a voice message from Xiao Yue, which instantly lifted his spirits

Just a small backup plan

Ao Ying's small face turned pale with anger, but she merely clenched her fists and quickly calmed down

Ao Ying's delicate face was filled with seriousness

The current situation does not exceed Zhou Zheng's limits of imagination

Ao Ying shouted angrily

Furthermore, regarding the matter of Zhou Zheng being supported by the old man behind him, it is something only you and I should know. If you were to leave, the wind...

The driver violently turned the steering wheel, causing the taxi to scrape against one side of the wall corner, and abruptly swung into the small alley on the left front

Uncle Fu's large ship has finally set sail

Uncle Fu took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his white coat and casually opened a video that he had treasured for many years

Uncle Fu, however, fell into deep thought, as a gentle breeze stirred the curtains, causing his expression to fluctuate between light and shadow

The burly man who had been driving stepped forward, a slight cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth

Is it his illusion? The canine instructor seems to care for him greatly, having considered everything for him.

You should treat Zhou Zheng as an ordinary mortal, and for my sake, give him an opportunity for cultivation, without any special treatment, and do not need to think about him in your daily life

I humbly dare to advise you to return to the sea for your cultivation

He looked up at Ao Ying and chose to answer the call with the receiver

That is a game video

See you tomorrow, Wang

Ao Ying's delicate face was filled with disappointment, and she remained silent with her lips pressed together

However, what caught Zhou Zheng off guard was that Ao Ying had just left with the old lady, the turtle prime minister, and the surrounding strong men stepped forward in unison, encircling him completely

Zhou Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and then he felt the hostile gazes surrounding him.

Ao Ying was directly blocked and sat her petite body on Zhou Zheng's thigh, turning her head to glare at the driver

The mist that enveloped the surroundings began to dissipate, revealing more open space centered around the taxi

Hurry up

Ao Ying, with a tense expression, pushed open the car door and rushed out.

The tale of the Dragon Maiden repaying her kindness? Ha, this is indeed a fable that those innocent little fairies yearn for.

The mist spread out in all directions, and an elderly woman with white hair, leaning on a cane, slowly walked out. The large silver turtle shell on her back was quite striking

Wow! Minister Turtle!

The majestic palace hovers in mid-air, adorned with a vertical plaque that reads:

Lingxiao Palace

After the snow marten escaped from Longchen, it spread rumors that it had obtained top-secret information about the Dragon Palace, seeking to elevate its status and align itself with the eighteen demon kings. Fortunately, our people discovered this in time and secretly eliminated her

Stop the vehicle

Xiao Yue's deliberately aged voice once again floated out from the earpiece

Wang

Zhou Zheng suddenly raised his head to look at the rearview mirror, just in time to see the driver's gaze reflected through the lens.

Avoid suspicion

Since she has appeared on our territory, it is customary to register her, and we might as well provide her with a copy of the "Modern Living Guide for Spiritual Beings," along with some special training subsidies for benevolent spiritual entities

Seeing Ao Ying remain silent, the old turtle sage spoke again

Having just walked halfway, Zhou Zheng raised his hand to clear his throat, and that little fellow immediately turned around and returned to its original position, obediently lying down.

The aquamarine halo slowly swirled, and the taxi only experienced a slight bump a few times

The driver glanced at Zhou Zheng, and even the sunglasses could not conceal that sharp gaze

Shark muscle monster

Xiao Yue carefully chose her words, expressing herself with great restraint

"Yes, yes," the little gray dog kept shivering, "I will absolutely keep my mouth shut!"

Your Highness, it is not that this old servant is unwilling to assist you, but rather... did you not let a ferret go the other day?

He did not bully Ao Ying, and his actions were upright and proper, so there is no need for him to feel guilty

Xiao Yue advised

"Our World" is a highly flexible sandbox game, where players enjoy engaging in various constructions. Some players, who have invested significant time, create grand structures to recreate iconic scenes or real-life settings.

Zhou Zheng : ... ...
