The dragon man stood up and sighed, signaling the people behind him to retreat back into the town to continue their defense.

"That's true. If you guys were with that guy, the human race here would probably be extinct by now, right?"

Are you all alright?

Yan Quan nodded in reply and stepped forward to put away the longsword stuck in the ground.

He looked at Su Yao and asked, "This rich woman still lacks this kind of experience. Her position and her clothes were too easy to be noticed."

Su Yao nodded in response to Yan Quan, but when she noticed Chu Ruoxue watching her with a mocking expression, her face turned cold again.

Do you know how to get out of here?

Luo Shiyu stepped forward and asked, her hand still resting on the knife.

Actually, she was just a second away from drawing her sword and slashing at the fox woman.

"How did you know? If you had known, I would have left already..."

The fox woman shrugged and said that she had also stumbled into this place by accident a few years ago. She was a noblewoman among the fox clan outside, so why would she want to waste her time here protecting those foolish humans?

"There was no way before, but now that Princess Cai Le is here, things are different."

Night had fallen, so the princess and her fellow cultivators moved into the town where we could continue our discussion.

The dragon-man spoke meaningfully, leading the group to the town.

Upon entering the town, many humans greeted the dragon man and fox woman respectfully.

"The humans here... are they the descendants of those who first strayed into this place?"

Yan Quan crossed his arms and asked.

"Yes."

The dragon-clan man nodded in response to Yan Quan.

"How strange, you also protect the weaker human race?"

"Everyone makes different choices, what's so strange about that?"

"Long Hu, is your princess really reliable? Can she find a way out?"

The fox-woman snorted and stepped in front of the crowd.

If we're talking about princesses with extraordinary abilities, she's only ever seen her own family's nine-tailed celestial fox princess, whose talent is beyond compare.

"Well, you can go out with them then, I won't leave."

"Your Highness, I have found the meaning of my life here. I will not return to Mo Hai. I'm sorry I can no longer contribute to the Dragon Clan."

Seeing a mother and daughter emerge from not far away, Long Hu replied earnestly, and then knelt down in front of Long Cai Le.

Yan Quan looked at the little girl with dragon horns not far away, chuckled, and understood what this guy meant.

Long Caile usually doesn't care about these things at all and has no idea how to handle this situation. After looking around, she quickly and carefully hid next to Yan Quan.

"Hmm... This princess, this princess, forgives you."

Anyway, the dragon race won't miss one more person, so just focus on your own business.

Once Long Caile was by Yan Quan's side, she felt much more at ease and quickly nodded in reply.

Isn't it great to be able to find something you love to do?

What's there to feel guilty about?

"Alright, then I will take everyone to the location of the spatial vortex tomorrow."

Long Hu nodded and then arranged accommodations for everyone to rest.

Yan Quan was assigned to a small room, which only included a small bed, but he was quite satisfied.

"Given the situation, they probably won't come back, right?"

While Yan Quan was thinking, he tightly closed the door and windows, lay down on the bed, and planned to get a good night's rest.

Anyway, there are Dragon Alliance troops patrolling the area, so there's not much to worry about...

He collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Yan Quan opened the door, feeling refreshed and unaware of the warped lock, and went straight to the town's lobby.

When he arrived, he found that the women were already awake and enjoying the breakfast that Long Hu had prepared for them.

"Hmm... Yan Quan, you're awake."

Long Caile was eating heartily as always, but when she saw Yan Quan arrive, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Um."

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Yan Quan sat down, Su Yao, who was sitting next to him, made a displeased sound.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you plan to do now?"

"What else can we do? Didn't we say we were going to that space vortex?"

Yan Quan ate his food and replied vaguely.

Chu Ruoxue, who was standing to the side, took a handkerchief and kept wiping Luo Shiyu's mouth before he could do so.

"cut."

Seeing Chu Ruoxue's smug look, Luo Shiyu gritted her teeth and shoved the cutlery in her hand into the table.

"Isn't this a bit too... weird?"

Yu Yiyi looked at all of this with great confusion and asked her question.

Last night, she went to find Yan Quan, only to discover that the lock on his door had been deformed into an unsightly state for some reason.

"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to want to go straight back."

Su Yao glanced at the food and said that she found it too strange, so she didn't touch it at all.

"Of course I want to go back, I'm just doing something else along the way."

Yan Quan replied simply, and before Su Yao could speak, he stuffed a piece of bread-like food that he had already taken a bite of into her mouth.
