Xia Geng woke up early in the morning and opened the window. The sun was just right outside, and the majestic snow-capped mountain was like a giant embracing Baishi City.
Xia Geng turned his head and glanced at the woman in pink pajamas on the bed. His eyes were filled with warmth and love. She was his woman and the mother of his son. Unexpectedly reuniting with Meimei in the lower realm was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to Xia Geng, allowing him to finally have a complete family.
At the age of seven, Xia Di had gradually familiarized himself with family life. Although he was still a little shy when he called his mother, his relationship with Mei Mei grew closer as time passed. The family often went on outdoor hikes and often enjoyed candlelit dinners in the backyard.
"Ah, you're already up. Was I too restless when I was sleeping and woke you up?" Meimei rubbed her eyes.
Xia Geng sat by the bed and gently stroked Meimei's long hair. The more he looked at his wife, the more satisfied he was with her. She was already a mother, but Meimei would still kick off her blanket like a little girl or talk in her sleep that no one could understand, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. His life with her was filled with unexpected joy.
"No, I've made arrangements with everyone to go out and train. I'll be back in about three days. As for the city, you don't have to worry. I'll leave Mingzhu and Yanyan here. They hate cultivating. After all, they're dragons. Even if they're just little girls, they're born to stand at the peak of all beings.
"But we're different. Heaven's Wings is strong not just because of their talent but also because of their hard work. Now that most of the family is on the frontlines, we can't slack off in the slightest as reinforcements," Xia Geng said.
Meimei blinked. "I thought you were going to look for Xia Fan. There's news from Hidden Demon City that Xia Fan has gone missing, but you're not worried at all. You're so carefree."
Xia Geng chuckled. "Why would we look for Xia Fan? He's Xia Fei's son, so there's no way he'll die so easily. Besides, Hidden Demon City wouldn't dare let anything happen to Xia Fan, or else Heaven's Wings won't let them off. Hidden Demon City should be even more anxious than we are. If Xia Fan loses even a hair, I'll immediately lead my brothers to flatten Hidden Demon City."
"Pfft ~"
Mei Mei couldn't help but laugh. "I'm relieved to see that my husband is so domineering. By the way, which tribe are you going to this time?"
Xia Geng shrugged his shoulders. "It's just a casual stroll, practicing a medium-sized confrontation, as well as the cooperation between brothers. The surrounding tribes that could threaten White Stone City have long been wiped out by us. Days without enemies are really lonely like snow. If I had known earlier, I would have left some enemies behind. That would have saved us from being so bored."
"You're a bad person."
Mei Mei threw herself into Xia Geng's arms, hugging his muscular chest.
Enemies must die, especially enemies who dared to threaten his woman. There was no reason for them to stay in this world.
So the first thing Xia Geng did when he came to White Stone City was to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the surrounding area. How far had he gone? Now, the children of White Stone City could come and go as they pleased in the Great Lake District, and their families wouldn't worry about them spending the night there. Tian Yi used his speed to kill the Great Lake District until it became a river of blood. There wasn't even a crocodile left in the river, and not a single carnivore could be found within five thousand miles. Mei Mei believed that if Xia Geng was given a bit more time, even the mosquitoes and leeches in the forest would be wiped out.
Tian Yi was such a group of fellows, and wherever they went, not even a blade of grass would grow.
Not only was White Stone City now safe and stable, but the surrounding cities also didn't close their doors at night. Originally, this place was close to the boundary, and it was the most chaotic border area in the Lower Worlds. But since Tian Yi's arrival, it had become a paradise.
Mei Mei said that White Stone City lacked arable land, and they couldn't sustain themselves in food. So, overnight, Tian Yi turned the forest into fertile farmland, and planted rice and fruit trees.
Mei Mei said that White Stone City and the surrounding cities were separated by the wilderness, and there were no roads. Transportation was difficult, and the economy couldn't develop. So, overnight, the mountains were split open, and roads wide enough for twenty people to walk abreast connected the surrounding cities.
.....
Two days later.
"We did it, we finally did it! Your sense of smell is amazing. You actually brought us to the legendary Holy Spring City! "Nicai was overjoyed, and she pulled on Xia Fan's arm, her eyebrows dancing.
Xia Fan nodded. The feeling of sunlight on his body was really pleasant, even though it wasn't real sunlight, but many glowing crystals inlaid on top of his head. The light emitted by the crystals didn't have the effect of ultraviolet rays, so the residents of the city looked very pale.
There was an old saying that one's fair complexion covered up three ugly things, but the residents of Holy Spring City looked ugly. Their nostrils were upturned, and their teeth were as white as their skin, sharper and longer than a human's, as if the teeth of a wolf had been transplanted into the mouth of a human.
Their cheeks were generally sunken, giving people a feeling of cunning. Their eyes had evolved into black, and they could observe far away in an environment without light. Their ears were round like a bear's ears, and they could twitch flexibly, like some kind of directional radar device.
"Damn, these are the allies of Hidden Demon City? Why do I feel that these guys don't look like good people? Look at Flame King Stanley, even a Demon King has a dignified appearance, but these people are like the vampires in the movies. If their sharp teeth bite on our necks, they can bite through our arteries. Maybe there are even blood sucking tubes in those sharp teeth, "Fo You muttered.
Xia Fan frowned. The people of Holy Spring City described them as strange, but it seemed like they were praising them. If someone in Hidden Demon City looked like this, he would probably be bullied by his friends from a young age. When he grew up, he wouldn't be able to find a wife, and would be despised by others everywhere. He wouldn't even be able to make friends, right?
Normally, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but as a human, who could escape the curse of appearance?
Reality had always been so cruel. If you had a kind heart, but your appearance was like that of a strange man in a bell tower, then sorry, you would really scare a little girl to tears. What was the use of having a kind heart? Girls wouldn't understand you at all. When they saw your face, they would first classify you as a vicious person.
Humans were superficial creatures. Since ancient times, they had always judged people by their appearance. They said that a kind heart was more important than appearance, but in fact, many kind-hearted lads had been rejected by girls, and the reason for the rejection was always so far-fetched. "I think you're a very good person, but we're not suitable for each other."
What's not suitable? You just don't have the handsomeness of a little fresh meat, so it's impossible for you to be a husband. Why don't you try to understand the self-cultivation of a spare tire?
Sigh ~
At this time, Sedrolai let out a long sigh in Xia Fan's mind.
"You humans, you went through so much to find Holy Spring City, but when you saw the appearance of the Glimmering Clan, you immediately hesitated.
"In the natural world, there has never been another species like you humans, trying to distinguish a person from a person by their appearance. I can't help but admire the wisdom of the Creator. He set you humans as one of the most powerful species in the natural world, but he also gave you many flaws."
"If you didn't have a life-long friendship with Fo You, would you believe that a wretched fatty like him would be a man of affection and righteousness? And Nicai, many men in Hidden Demon City are willing to die for her, but they can't see how cowardly Nicai is. Once she thinks that someone is the authority, she will blindly obey. Along the way, Nicai has never raised any objections, because she thinks that you are the authority, and it is impolite to challenge your authority.
"What a brainwashed silly girl. The reason why she was so excited when she saw Holy Spring City is because she has always had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell you her doubts. She just blindly obeyed your orders. We dragons will never like a woman with no character like her. The women we like must be independent."
Xia Fan frowned. "Okay, okay, now is not the time to introduce you dragons' view of love, right? What is the background of the Glimmer Clan living in Holy Spring City? "
"Speaking of which, they also have the blood of the dragon race in them. They can be regarded as an intelligent life between human and demi-dragon. There are many intelligent life like this in the mezzanine zone. I haven't had much contact with the Glimmer Clan, so I don't know much about them, but I heard that they have a good reputation."
"It's a pity that ugliness is the original sin of the Glimmer Clan. No one is willing to be partners with them, so they live quite lonely lives."
"Hidden Demon City just wants to use the Glimmer Clan. If they really treat them well, why don't they invite the Glimmer Clan to live in the city? There is plenty of space on the continent, and any piece of land is enough for the Glimmer Clan to farm."
"Those guys in the Demon Subduing Army intend to use the Glimmer Clan as a tool. They will use them when they need them, and when they don't, they will throw them underground. Out of sight, out of mind."
"You seem to have a lot of resentment towards the Demon Subduing Army," Xia Fan asked.
"That's normal. We are proud dragons. We look down on any other race except ourselves."
"You arrogant old demon dragon."
