Hand yourself over to the nation, and may the dragon god's offspring bring prosperity to the en

Long Xiaoxiao slept until the sun was high in the sky. When the sun was shining warmly on her body and her scales were burning hot, she slowly woke up and moved to the basement to avoid the sun.

While Long Xiaoxiao was sleeping, Wu Jin had already been transferred to the police station, and the forces that had paid him to take photos had finally been uncovered thanks to Rong Ming's efforts in investigating.

The punishment for Wu Jin was announced shortly afterward. Because of the recent surge in popularity of "Xingxing Xiaoxin", the punishment notice specifically tagged that account.

Upon hearing this news, netizens immediately erupted in uproar.

"What? I thought he was a researcher!"

"Holy crap, turns out it was a candid shot."

"Okay, I admit I was too loud when I spoke to Wu Zhang earlier."

"I agree. At least Wu Zhangzhen wouldn't dare to break the law."

"..."

When Wu Zhang woke up, he was startled to see his name suddenly trending on social media. After clicking in, he discovered that his cousin had been caught doing something stupid, and he had inexplicably become the comparison group for him.

Those netizens who had previously mocked Wu Zhang for being penniless and powerless in the comments section have all disappeared, and the comments section is once again filled with calls for Long Xiaoxiao.

Wu Zhang browsed through the trending topics and finally understood the general cause and course of events, and couldn't help but shake his head in astonishment.

His cousin was incredibly stupid, no wonder his uncle always had Wu Jin on his lips.

However, since the two were brothers, Wu Zhang wouldn't go out of his way to kick someone when they were down. He just had a slight thought in his mind.

Wu Jin made a mistake, and as his cousin, it shouldn't be a problem for me to personally go over and apologize for him, right?

Thinking this, Wu Zhang simply took out his phone and sent a message to Rong Ming.

The two had known each other for many years, and although they weren't close, they could still exchange a few words.

Rong Ming was still dealing with the investigation of foreign forces when he suddenly received a long message from Wu Zhang. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, opened it, and immediately understood.

On the surface, they claimed they were there to apologize on behalf of Wu Jin, but their true intentions were elsewhere.

After thinking about it, Rong Ming took some time to personally ask Long Xiaoxiao, and only after receiving a positive reply did he respond to Wu Zhang's application.

Long Xiaoxiao didn't actually hear who Rongming was talking about; she only knew that someone was coming to visit her, so she casually agreed.

The system, on the other hand, was in a state of great distress over the issue of faith points.

After lifting the curse on Long Xiaoxiao's people last time, their faith points all dropped to zero. Fortunately, these faith points steadily increase every day, though not much, but they are stable.

"Xiaoxiao, we only have five thousand faith points right now." The system sighed.

Long Xiaoxiao has very little public exposure now, and her popularity has decreased accordingly.

However, she still had a lot of merit points left. Merit points could only be used on Long Xiaoxiao herself, and since Long Xiaoxiao was only thinking about the important matters of the Dragon Clan, these merit points were stored in the system.

"What should we do then?" Long Xiaoxiao obediently replied to the system.

Of course, she also hoped to earn enough faith points as soon as possible, but her five-year-old brain couldn't come up with any good ideas.

The system was also stumped for a moment.

Just then, Wu Zhang arrived.

Because of the Wu Jin incident, many more guard posts were added at the entrance of the research institute. The guards, dressed in crisp uniforms, stood at the door, carefully checking Wu Zhang's documents. Only after confirming that everything was correct were they allowed to enter.

Long Xiaoxiao sensed that familiar aura again.

It's a dragon.

Long Xiaoxiao immediately raised her head and looked towards the door. She immediately saw Wu Zhang's figure. Long Xiaoxiao remembered him, so she slightly raised her chin as a greeting.

Wu Zhang immediately became excited and ran quickly with small steps. In no time, he arrived in front of Long Xiaoxiao, his respectful posture making it seem as if he wanted to kowtow to Long Xiaoxiao twice.

"Azure Dragon God!"

Long Xiaoxiao scrutinized Wu Zhang in front of her, but after a long time she couldn't figure out what was wrong. However, that familiar dragon aura still lingered around him, as if she had picked it up from somewhere.

Seeing that the Azure Dragon God was staring at him without saying a word, Wu Zhang felt a strange fear, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Our clan members have disturbed the Azure Dragon God's slumber. It is our Wu family's fault for not teaching him properly. After discussion within the clan, we have decided to offer our family heirloom to the Azure Dragon God."

This was a rare moment of seriousness from Wu Zhang. Although he was usually carefree and irresponsible, he was now polite, mature, and generous when it came to being serious.

Long Xiaoxiao only half understood what she was hearing. She just felt that the dragon aura on Wu Zhang was too strong, so strong that she began to suspect that Wu Zhang was also a dragon.

Just as Long Xiaoxiao was beginning to doubt Wu Zhang, he took out a piece of azure dragon scales that had been placed in an exquisite brocade pouch. This was the azure dragon symbol that their Wu family had worshipped for generations.

Wu Zhang lowered his head slightly, held the scales up in both hands, and handed them to Long Xiaoxiao with a very respectful expression.

Long Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as she stared at the scales on Wu Zhang's hand, unsure of what to do.

The dragon aura on the scales was very strong, and Long Xiaoxiao was certain that these were genuine dragon scales.

The system also sensed something was amiss and asked in confusion, "The world report shows that there are indeed no dragons in this world, and it has never been taken over by mission takers before."

While wondering about the problem, the system also made sure to submit a problem report to the main system.

As for Long Xiaoxiao, after hesitating for a moment, she silently stepped back and shook her head, clearly indicating that she did not want the scale.

Wu Zhang immediately became uneasy. Although he felt that what Wu Jin did had nothing to do with him, Wu Zhang, what if he left a bad impression on the Azure Dragon God?

Thinking this, Wu Zhang opened his mouth and said sincerely, "Azure Dragon God, this is a decision made unanimously within our family. We hope you can accept our apology."

Long Xiaoxiao still shook her head.

Dragons are generally very protective of their scales and rarely throw away fallen scales carelessly. Apart from their closest family members, few dragons will accept scales from other dragons.

Long Xiaoxiao was not interested in this either.

Seeing that Long Xiaoxiao insisted on not taking it, Wu Zhang had no choice but to withdraw his hand disappointedly and put the scales away.

He looked up at Long Xiaoxiao again, his expression returning to normal. He didn't mention the scales again, but asked in a pitiful tone with pleading eyes, "Azure Dragon God, can we take a picture together?"

One second they're playing the role of a refined and cultured adult, the next they revert to their true nature.

Long Xiaoxiao looked somewhat bewildered by Wu Zhang's drastic change in demeanor, but still obediently nodded in agreement.

Wu Zhang left happily after finally getting the group photo. Before he even stepped out of the research institute, he had already posted four or five updates on his WeChat Moments.

"Oh, the weather is so nice today, I'm going to the Xingyin Mountain Azure Dragon Nature Reserve."

"Is there anyone who hasn't seen the Azure Dragon God? I, for one, have seen it with my own eyes and even touched it."

"A photo with the Azure Dragon God. Comment '1' if you want to see it."

"..."
