CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 36: CHEN LONG’ER’S SURPRISE

July 2nd.

Lin Qianxuan finally finished editing the travel video from the Chao Li Country trip.

Logically, he should have finished editing it a long time ago.

However, he has a procrastination problem.

He had tried to solve this issue before.

Then he found a book online called "How to Quit Procrastinating."

But that book is still sitting in his shopping cart.

Lin Qianxuan thought he could wait a bit before buying it, there’s no rush for now.

Although it’s a lifestyle video, perhaps because it’s somewhat different from his previous gaming videos, once released, Lin Qianxuan still got quite a few views.

However, there were also people urging him to make a new series of videos.

Lin Qianxuan kind of wanted to, but playing those games lately just felt uninteresting.

If he’s not interested, it’s hard to keep going.

He feels he might need to switch tracks.

The only problem is he hasn’t thought of which track to switch to.

On the internal community forum of the Otherworld Bureau, someone mentioned the early preview of the Earth OL version, stating that the number of Transcendents would gradually increase until this knowledge became widespread, and their experiences as pioneers might be utilized.

In other words, at that time, he might create an account for promotion or perhaps become a teacher at a Transcendent school or something.

Lin Qianxuan feels that his abilities should shine in agriculture and water management.

He can effortlessly irrigate a few thousand acres of land, and his fees could be cheaper, even drones would have a hard time competing.

This is not just some horse; this is a dragon horse!

July 5th, Chen Long’Er finally had some time to relax.

Lin Qianxuan immediately dashed to Kyoto.

Flying at full speed, it took him only eighteen minutes and twenty-seven seconds to reach the borders of Kyoto.

He broke his record.

The moment he saw Chen Long’Er, Lin Qianxuan almost didn’t recognize her.

She had completely concealed her anomalies, appearing as a normal human.

At the moment, she was wearing a purple short-sleeve top, ordinary jeans, paired with casual flat shoes, and her high ponytail gave her a girl-next-door vibe.

Overall, she looked very comfortable.

But Lin Qianxuan felt slightly awkward, as if something was missing.

He didn’t say it out loud, pretending he didn’t recognize her, and said, "Long’Er?"

"It’s me," Chen Long’Er smiled.

"You can control it now?"

Lin Qianxuan smiled as he reached out and held her hand.

It was very smooth, but he felt it lacked the power of the Dragon Claw.

"Yes, the mentor taught me how to control the bloodline within me," said Chen Long’Er.

"Mentor?" Lin Qianxuan asked, puzzled.

"Sister Jiang told me to call her that, and sometimes she lets me call her sister," Chen Long’Er explained.

Lin Qianxuan suddenly understood and nodded, "That’s great."

Clinging to a big shot is, of course, good.

Honestly, Lin Qianxuan also considered clinging to Jiang Mengli.

But he was somewhat reluctant to work, feeling a bit conflicted.

After living a lazy life for a while, going back to the hard-working days at a job wasn’t appealing to him.

He felt that even if he were given billions, it wouldn’t be as comfortable as lying at home, relaxed and at ease.

Maybe only when boredom becomes unbearable, or if he’s interested in those things, would he want to work.

Without having to endure a half-dragon appearance, the two of them felt more relaxed while shopping.

Lin Qianxuan occasionally asked Chen Long’Er what she had learned from Jiang Mengli, and Chen Long’Er would tell him.

Jiang Mengli did not restrict Chen Long’Er from telling Lin Qianxuan about these things, and even hoped that Chen Long’Er’s situation might attract Lin Qianxuan into joining the work at the Otherworld Bureau.

"Right now, I’m mainly learning about Spiritual Patterns and using the Visualization method to control my bloodline powers. The mentor hasn’t taught me anything else yet," said Chen Long’Er.

The Spiritual Patterns system is what Xuan Country is currently trying to popularize as a type of Extraordinary Knowledge.

Because it is quite accessible and easier to learn and master.

There are quite a few places to visit in Kyoto, but the costs are quite high and rather ridiculous.

In just one day, Lin Qianxuan spent almost ten thousand.

Chen Long’Er felt a bit distressed, but Lin Qianxuan consoled her by saying, "We are considered a high-income group, no need to be so frugal. Occasional spending is like boosting the country’s economy."

And indeed, that’s the case. Chen Long’Er’s fixed salary at the Otherworld Bureau is over ten thousand a month, not to mention the other allowances and bonuses, some of which cannot even be measured with money. If she takes on missions, that’s a different account, and missions are the main source.

Lin Qianxuan, although a bit unique, is actually on the roll at the Otherworld Bureau.

He receives twenty thousand a month as comfort money to prevent him from causing unnecessary commotion in society due to a lack of funds.

Moreover, if he wants, he can do a mission and directly exchange points for money with major bosses.

Points are very valuable among extra-staff members of the Otherworld Bureau; one point can sell for about six to eight thousand.

Although the Otherworld Bureau strictly prohibits private transactions, it’s more of a verbal warning. In practice, they turn a blind eye, a kind of disclaimer.

If Lin Qianxuan put in a bit more effort, he could easily earn tens of millions in a month.

He might even impact the points market for extra-staff members.

After all, among extra-staff members, there seem to be few at the Profound Rank Tier, let alone his Fifth Heaven level.

As night fell.

Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er went to the cinema to watch a 3D movie.

A remake of the Legend of White Snake.

The special effects during the Flooded Jinshan scene were abundant, seemingly using AI technology, making it look very realistic.

Lin Qianxuan secretly gauged the strength of the White Snake and then frowned slightly.

He felt that, based on this portrayal, he might not be able to handle this White Snake.

What a joke, he’s a dragon, and he can’t handle a snake?

It’s a movie?

Oh, then never mind!

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Long’er had already leaned on Lin Qianxuan’s shoulder.

She seemed a bit distracted.

She was reminded of the scene where Lin Qianxuan manipulated the sea waves to capsize over a dozen ships in Chao Li Country.

Isn’t this another kind of "Flooded Jinshan"?

But if she could, she didn’t want Lin Qianxuan to take risks for her.

That’s also why she chose to join the Otherworld Bureau.

She hopes that one day, she too can "flood Jinshan" for Lin Qianxuan.

Let’s have a moment of silence for the monks of Jinshan Temple.

.....

The movie ended.

Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’er exchanged glances, a bit of tension in the air.

Everyone knew what scene would unfold next.

"Here or home?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"Home," Chen Long’er replied.

She preferred the scent of Lin Qianxuan’s home.

It was better than outside.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t say much, immediately summoning the clouds, taking them into the sky.

Then they headed straight back to Cai County.

This time he brought someone along, but once again set a new record for speed.

By the bed, the two embraced in a kiss.

Just as Lin Qianxuan was planning to take things a step further, Chen Long’er said, "Wait, I have something to show you."

"What is it?"

Lin Qianxuan wondered, seeing the over-the-knee white stockings on her legs.

"Who taught you that?"

Lin Qianxuan raised his eyebrows, a bit worried she might have learned something inappropriate online. But then he thought, with Chen Long’er working in the Otherworld Bureau, it’s unlikely she could pick up anything wrong, perhaps he should be worried that she’s growing too "proper."

"You don’t like it."

Chen Long’er tilted her head, thinking the videos she watched all said this was a killer move.

Lin Qianxuan touched his nose, realizing he couldn’t honestly say he didn’t like it.

"I like it."

"Then I’ll wear it for you next time too."

Hearing this, the dragon girl was overjoyed.

"Hmm, black ones are good too," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Okay...."

Before she could finish her word, the battle was on the brink of breaking out.

Perhaps due to the attack speed bonus, Lin Qianxuan was a bit quicker to shed his defenses this time.

But his strong physique quickly supported him through the second round, the third round, the fourth round.... of the fight!

The dragon girl was driven back to her true form by him, unable to control the dragon-transformed parts of her body, which revealed themselves and made Lin Qianxuan even more interested.

As dawn approached, Lin Qianxuan felt the energy accumulated for so long had finally been released.

At the same time, he was a bit worried if Chen Long’er might get pregnant.

Although he felt he could support a child, he wasn’t sure if he could raise one well.

He mentioned this to Chen Long’er, but she said, "Impossible, my teacher said that my bloodline is still too weak to bear your genes, but I’ll work hard...."

"It’s alright, we have plenty of time, we’re still young, and it’s fine without children disrupting us," Lin Qianxuan said.

To be honest, he didn’t place much importance on having the next generation.

Or rather, this generation of young people doesn’t, many even rejecting it a bit.

Lin Qianxuan could only say he neither rejected nor liked it.

If they have children, they’ll raise them; if not, it’s no big deal.

The two snuggled for a while, then took a bath, and Chen Long’er made breakfast for Lin Qianxuan herself. It was just simple boiled noodles with a couple of side dishes, not complex, but Lin Qianxuan felt the rare sense of home.

In that moment, he really wanted to take a photo and send it to the old dean, letting him know he had a home.

But after hesitating, Lin Qianxuan decided not to.

Given their current situation, it was better to limit the spread of information.

This joy, he would share with the old dean and others when the time is right.

After breakfast, Lin Qianxuan carried Chen Long’er back to the Otherworld Bureau.

He flew quickly, transforming directly into his dragon form and even encountered a plane on the way.

Just as he burst out of the clouds, he vaguely saw several passengers taking photos with their phones.

At that moment, Lin Qianxuan felt a bit uneasy.

And rightly so, because less than two hours after he returned to Cai County after dropping off Chen Long’er at the Otherworld Bureau, he got a call from Zhang Heng.

"Xiao Lin, be a little more careful on your trips lately....."

Zhang Heng didn’t say it harshly, just gently reminding Lin Qianxuan, everyone had it hard, so not to burden the relevant staff too much.

What could Lin Qianxuan say? From then on, he could only wrap himself tightly in clouds.

He went online to check the relevant information, seeing several videos of sightings of the True Dragon from flights.

Only two were of him, the others were all AI-generated composites.

Though they looked real, they carried slight flaws detectable by the naked eye.

As a result, nobody believed it.

Even those who filmed it wondered if it was some optical refraction coincidence.

Suddenly, Lin Qianxuan’s phone vibrated.

He opened it to find that the money he transferred to Chen Long’er had been returned, along with a pouting, angry emoji.

So cute!

Made him want to hug her again!
