"It really is luxurious, it brought back so many nice things~"
Inside the Lorraine Tower, Feng Yuan looked around the room with some envy and said, then glanced at the phantom of Agunas and said,
"Come to think of it, there doesn’t seem to be many decorations in the Land of Time Tranquility."
The phantom of Agunas rolled his eyes and said,
"Have you forgotten the circumstances of my era? As for what happened afterward, that’s Lorraine Tower’s business. If it doesn’t like decorations, what does that have to do with me?"
"How about I help you decorate the Land of Time Tranquility?"
"No need. Although I don’t quite understand what you want to do, my intuition tells me it definitely won’t be anything good."
Seeing the sly smile on Feng Yuan’s face, the phantom of Agunas decisively refused.
Lying on the bed, Feng Yuan casually turned on the TV. The Inner Tower might be a special space, but it was not completely isolated from the outside world. Through the windows, one could see the same scenery as from the windows of the Outer Tower. Although wireless signals couldn’t penetrate into the Inner Tower, it could connect to the internet and watch TV through wired transmission.
"Where should I go tomorrow... Shopping in Silver Star District? Or perhaps visit some historical sites?"
Feng Yuan took out the tourist map he bought at the station and mused while looking at it. The Dreaming Dragon Baby floated in front of the map, examining it closely, Xiao Ji curled up comfortably beside Feng Yuan, yawning and coiling into a ball. Pomiti sat wobbling on Big Cat’s head, making Big Cat worry that it might accidentally fall off.
Before going to sleep, Feng Yuan looked at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, which was floating in front of the computer and searching for information, and said,
"You should rest earlier, stop staying up late. Even though you’ve almost accumulated enough energy, if you don’t rest, you will deplete the energy you’ve saved up."
The Dreaming Dragon Baby shook its tail in response and continued to focus on searching for information. Feng Yuan smiled and didn’t bother the Dreaming Dragon Baby anymore, but simply turned off the lights and rested. The lights of Shenhua City at night shone through the window, casting their glow on the focused Dreaming Dragon Baby.
The woman looked surprised as she saw Feng Yuan, yawning while walking out of the door of Lorraine Tower. The Dreaming Dragon Baby seemed a bit resentful next to Feng Yuan. Noticing the resentful little eyes of the Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
"Don’t worry, today you’ll still lead the way. She’s just saying she’ll accompany me for a tour. Besides, If we get lost, having her with us could help us find our destination faster, right?"
The Dreaming Dragon Baby lifted its head in pride, its contemptuous little eyes constantly drifting toward the woman. The woman, noticing the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s look, smiled and said,
"It was agreed that it would act as the local guide to take me around Shenhua City, but then you came, so..."
"I see, no wonder you said you don’t need me to guide you~"
The woman laughed and looked at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, reaching out her hand to pet it, but the Dreaming Dragon Baby agilely dodged away. Feng Yuan glanced at Lan Lan behind the woman and said,
"Aren’t you going to let out your Warrior Ape?"
The woman glanced at Feng Yuan and said irritably,
"Most commercial areas in Shenhua City forbid the release of Spirit Beasts larger than a medium size, even your Scholar Owl would not be allowed out in those areas."
"Is it not okay to make it smaller?"
Feng Yuan asked, somewhat surprised. The woman spread her hands and said,
"If you can ensure it won’t accidentally return to its large size at all times, it’s fine. But if something unexpected happens, the security team will warmly invite you for a chat over tea."
"Xiaowei, there’s no need to explain that to him. Even if he takes that Scholar Owl to the Special Affairs Bureau’s doorstep, no one would catch him, let alone those commercial districts."
At that moment, Yu Shanshan happened to be walking by with Captain Yang. Hearing Xiaowei’s explanation to Feng Yuan, Yu Shanshan said disdainfully. Xiaowei, who had learned at the station entrance that Feng Yuan had some special status, was surprised that Feng Yuan actually had privileges and gave Feng Yuan a curious look, saying,
"I didn’t see it coming..."
"Are you... supposed to report here every day?"
Feng Yuan asked Captain Yang and the others in confusion, seeing that they had just brought documents in yesterday and were back again today. Xiaowei smiled and said,
"Of course. Due to special historical reasons, there’s an agency within Lorraine Tower specifically set up to coordinate with the various departments of Shenhua City. The Special Affairs Bureau has to deliver a routine report here every day."
Captain Yang glanced at Xiaowei and said,
"Li Xiaowei, even though you know about some special matters, please don’t disclose them to others at will, or it could bring you trouble."
Hearing Captain Yang’s warning, Li Xiaowei responded brightly,
"Got it, but he’s not someone who needs to be kept secret, right?"
After all, he had seen Feng Yuan coming out of Yimu Qingling Tower, and it seemed like he even spent the night there. Normally, his clearance should be the same as Captain Yang’s or even higher.
With a complicated look, Captain Yang reluctantly said,
"He... I guess... sort of..."
"If you’re with him for a tour around Shenhua, I’ll feel relieved."
Captain Yang glanced at Li Xiaowei and said, as she looked back at him with some confusion,
"What? Is someone trying to harm him?"
"No, it’s just that I’m worried something odd might happen if he wanders around on his own."
With a sigh, Captain Yang had read all the reports related to Feng Yuan. It was precisely because of this that he understood that if something happened, that guy might not take a normal approach to resolve it, and if Li Xiaowei was with him, she would likely be able to persuade him when he was about to do something rash.
Feng Yuan glared at Captain Yang, dissatisfied, and said,
"Am I that bored? What odd things could I possibly do..."
With a glance at Feng Yuan, Captain Yang calmly said,
"You know it in your heart."
Seeing Captain Yang walk into Yimu Qingling Tower without looking back, Feng Yuan grumbled dissatisfactorily. At this moment, Li Xiaowei, as if remembering something, smiled at Feng Yuan and said,
"Can I live stream? It might catch you on camera, you see... "
Feng Yuan said indifferently. At this point, the Dreaming Dragon Baby was looking at a map with its claws and, with an experienced air, pointed at the nearby bus stop and called out to Feng Yuan. After a glance at the bus station, Feng Yuan calmly said,
"Be careful not to get the directions wrong."
The Dreaming Dragon Baby raised its head proudly and let out a disdainful cry.
"That’s why I’ve already warned you."
Looking at the guilty-looking Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan said with a hint of amusement. As expected, the Dreaming Dragon Baby headed in the wrong direction when transferring to the subway. By the time they finally reached Silver Star Plaza, it was already afternoon. Feng Yuan looked around and said,
"Let’s see where to have lunch, I’m starving."
Li Xiaowei was interacting with her audience at the time, occasionally teasing the guilty and drifting Dreaming Dragon Baby.
The Dreaming Dragon Baby carefully compared the map in its claws and, uncertainly, pointed in a direction a few times. The phantom of Agunas glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,
"How would I know where the restaurant you want to go to is? I’ve never been here before."
The Dreaming Dragon Baby led the way guiltily, its gaze drifting around. Feng Yuan, finding the sight interesting, didn’t say much.
Feeling triumphant about not having led them astray, the Dreaming Dragon Baby cheered happily. Seeing it point to a restaurant with both its claws and tail, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"Got it, this is the place, right?"
Under the night sky, Silver Star Beach twinkled with specks of silver starlight. Xiao Ji huddled in Feng Yuan’s arms, unwilling to come down, while Pomiti and Big Cat hopped around close by. Li Xiaowei turned off the live stream and looked at Feng Yuan,
"Are you going out to have fun again tomorrow?"
"What, won’t following me around affect your business?"
Seeing Feng Yuan look at her with a bit of surprise, Li Xiaowei laughed and said,
"How could it? Thanks to you, I had way more viewers today than usual."
"But does it really have to be sent away?"
Li Xiaowei said in a low voice as she glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby somersaulting in the air. Feng Yuan let out a sigh and said,
"Of course, it does."
"But it seems so attached to you."
