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

Rong Ming and the others hesitated for a short while before deciding to return to City A to find Wu Zhang.

Wu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Rong Ming and the others shared his thoughts.

It seems there's nothing wrong with his brain.

Just as Wu Zhang was staring blankly at his phone, his father, Wu Chengye, knocked on the door and came in.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Wu Zhang looked up in confusion.

"The Lin family is going to hold a banquet in a few days. You can go and take a look in my place."

"The Lin family?" Wu Zhang asked, uninterested. "Which Lin family?"

“Haven’t you been getting along quite well with Yuan Wang’s daughter lately? The Lin family is Yuan Wang’s mother’s family,” Wu Chengye explained.

Wu Zhang's eyes lit up immediately, and he tentatively asked, "Will Yuan Wang go?"

Wu Chengye looked at Wu Zhang with a strange expression, hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Maybe? Why are you so concerned about her? Do you have feelings for her?"

Wu Zhang waved his hand, offered a few casual explanations, and then pushed Wu Chengye out of the room.

**

Even on the day of the banquet, Long Xiaoxiao still couldn't retract her dragon horns, so she was still wearing that huge hat, which looked quite comical.

When Yuan Wang turned his head, the first thing he saw was that hat, and then Long Xiaoxiao, who was covered by the brim of the hat. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let's go." Yuan Wang bent down and took Long Xiaoxiao's hand.

The two got into the car, and before leaving, Long Xiaoxiao leaned out the window to look at the scenery outside, only to make eye contact with the boy across the street.

The boy stared at Long Xiaoxiao's hat for a long time, his eyes filled with confusion.

Long Xiaoxiao waved happily to the boy, but the car sped away and they soon disappeared from each other's sight.

The banquet was held in the heart of City A, a bustling and vibrant area.

It was dusk when Long Xiaoxiao got out of the car and saw the sky ablaze with sunset colors, reflecting off the neon lights on the side. She immediately opened her mouth wide and exclaimed in amazement, "How beautiful!"

Sunsets are common in the magical world, but such psychedelic, shimmering neon lights are rare.

Once inside the banquet, Yuan Wang's maternal grandparents, the Lin family, immediately noticed his arrival.

Since their daughter passed away from illness, the Lin couple had had very little contact with Yuan Wang, and they did not leave their daughter's shares to Yuan Wang.

Even so, upon seeing Yuan Wang enter, she could still gracefully step forward and say politely, "Long time no see! You've lost so much weight! We've all missed you terribly."

Yuan Wang's smile was a little stiff, but he still nodded and exchanged pleasantries as politely as possible for a while.

“This child…” Grandma glanced at Long Xiaoxiao as she spoke, her tone hesitant.

“She has no blood relation to me. I was kidnapped to Myanmar, and she rescued me.” Yuan Wang said casually.

However, the Lin couple looked slightly embarrassed. They knew that Yuan Wang had been abducted, but they had not taken the initiative to rescue him.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go inside." The Lin couple stiffly changed the subject.

Yuan Wang then took Long Xiaoxiao's hand and walked inside.

Long Xiaoxiao's hat stood out in the arena, attracting curious glances from many people.

Yuan Wang is a well-known figure in the business district of City A. As soon as he entered, many people came up to talk to him and discuss cooperation matters.

Long Xiaoxiao looked around curiously and saw many familiar faces, most of whom she had seen at the birthday banquet before.

A woman in the crowd, who looked about five-tenths like Yuan Wang, stared at Long Xiaoxiao for a while, then let out a cryptic laugh and turned to say something to her sister.

Just as Yuan Wanggang finished a conversation with a president, the woman stepped forward.

She is Yuan Wang's cousin, Yuan Yue, who is also Wu Shaoyang's current girlfriend.

When Yuan Wang and Wu Shaoyang broke up, Wu Shaoyang and Yuan Yue got together openly just a week later, making Yuan Wang the undisputed victim in the elite circles of City A.

Yuan Wang turned his head and saw Yuan Yue, who looked hostile, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Long Xiaoxiao also sensed something was wrong. She raised her head and stared at Yuan Yue. When Yuan Yue walked up to her, she asked, "Hello, what do you want with Sister Yuan Wang?"

Pre-emptive strike.

Yuan Yue found herself unable to utter the lines she had prepared. She coughed lightly, ignored Long Xiaoxiao, and addressed Yuan Wang: "Long time no see, little sister."

Ignored, Long Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything. She just obediently held Yuan Wang's hand and looked up at Yuan Yue warily.

Knowing his cousin's character, Yuan Wang impatiently replied with a casual, "Mm."

Yuan Yue had expected Yuan Wang's indifferent attitude. She glanced down at Long Xiaoxiao and chuckled softly.

"Is this the child you brought back from Myanmar?" she asked.

Seeing that Yuan Yue had actually turned her attention to Long Xiaoxiao, Yuan Wang became restless. He looked up at Yuan Yue with a very obvious frown: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yuan Yue staring at her, Long Xiaoxiao looked back in confusion. When her dark eyes met Yuan Yue's, Yuan Yue suddenly stiffened.

How strange, why do I suddenly feel like kneeling down after just one glance into this child's eyes?

Yuan Yue suppressed her impulse, shifted her gaze from Long Xiaoxiao, and turned to Yuan Wang, saying in a light tone, "I've heard there are a lot of pickpockets in Myanmar, and even children are not exempt."

This was clearly a sarcastic remark directed at Long Xiaoxiao, and Yuan Wang couldn't stand it: "If you're so free, go help the cleaning staff mop the floor."

She really didn't want to argue with such a brainless person.

Yuan Yue was not attacked by Yuan Wang's words, but continued to talk to herself: "Hmm... there are also many male prostitutes over there. By the way, you should be careful not to catch any dirty diseases."

Yuan Yue spoke loudly, and everyone around could hear her clearly. For a moment, the way they looked at Long Xiaoxiao seemed to change.

"Myanmar is indeed in chaos..."

"Yes, I remember there is a children's industry."

"Oh no, I hope I don't actually get infected."

"..."

Long Xiaoxiao was in the spotlight, but she seemed a little confused and helpless. She couldn't understand Yuan Yue's words, but she keenly sensed the ill intentions behind them.

The system inside the space was furious: "Is she sick in the head?"

Seeing that the system was angry, Long Xiaoxiao comforted it, saying, "Uncle, it's okay."

Seeing this, Yuan Wang's face darkened even more.

Yuan Yue felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao's defeat.

Just as Yuan Wang was about to retort, Wu Zhang's figure suddenly emerged from the crowd.

“Wu Shaoyang has been going to nightclubs again recently, Yuan Yue. I think you should be the one who needs to be careful, right?” Wu Zhang said with a smile. “The chances of Wu Shaoyang getting infected with sexually transmitted diseases and then passing them on to you are much higher than our Xiao Xiao’s.”

"The dirtiest things Xiaoxiao will ever encounter in her life are probably you and Wu Shaoyang," Wu Zhang added slowly.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Wu Zhang then slowly walked over and stood beside Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao.
