Beneath that already strong physique, it was as if an ancient thunder dragon coiled within, suppressing all things in all directions.

She didn't care about the ghostly aura on the gaunt man, and the contents of the urn in the man's hand were trembling under the suppression of the thunderous aura on the stone dragon, not daring to come out.

Shui Yanling was wary of Shi Long and his companion, while the two of them were also wary of her.

The woman was the first to notice Shui Yanling's difference as soon as they entered. She sensed a peculiar aura emanating from Shui Yanling, as if she shared the same origin as Shui Yanling, yet Shui Yanling possessed a strong human presence. This puzzled her greatly. She explained that her own condition was due to the seal on her forehead, while Shui Yanling seemed completely unsealed, radiating an overwhelming human energy. If she hadn't sensed a connection between Shui Yanling and herself, she might have mistaken her for an ordinary woman.

Because he was in sync with the woman's thoughts, Shi Long noticed something strange the moment she noticed the anomaly. Ordinary ghosts would tremble even if he didn't make a move, just by standing there, just like the things in that urn. But this woman didn't react at all. You should know that the power of thunder is extremely strong and yang, and it is the nemesis of those demons and monsters.

Since he couldn't sense any malice from Shui Yanling, Shi Long didn't make any rash moves. More importantly, Mei Li seemed somewhat afraid of him, as if it were a natural oppression of a superior over a subordinate. However, she herself didn't know it, but he, who was in tune with her, knew it much better. After all, he knew Mei Li's strength inside and out, so he didn't want to cause any trouble. He really was just doing odd jobs this time, and he wasn't lying to me about that.

At that moment, I had no idea that Shi Long, one of the four temporary workers of the Xuan Sect, was someone even the crazy people in the United Front Department dared not provoke, and the tasks he completed were the most difficult tasks in the Xuan Sect.

Moreover, temporary workers are different from those who have joined the Xuan Sect. They are not bound by the rules of the Xuan Sect or secular society. Even the high-ranking officials who agreed to establish the temporary worker system sometimes doubted whether they had made the wrong decision.

I was unaware of the mutual probing between Shui Yanling and Shi Long, and continued to chat with Shi Long with a smile.

Time flies, and it was already afternoon. The train was still speeding along the tracks.

"Boxed lunches, boxed lunches, fifteen yuan a serving!" the food cart outside called out. The greasy man who had been sitting on the upper bunk picking his toes immediately jumped off the bed upon hearing the voice, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and rushed out. Although the food on the train was more expensive than usual and the taste was just average, if it took too long to cook, he couldn't stand not eating anything. Although there were snacks, they were just things to pass the time.

"Yanling, are you hungry? I'll go buy some takeout," I said, turning to Yanling. After all, quite a while had passed since we ate breakfast in the early morning. I had eaten a full breakfast, but Yanling had barely eaten anything and had been watching me eat.

Yanling thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I am indeed hungry."

As Yanling spoke, she touched her stomach. I smiled and then turned to ask Shilong if he wanted to come along. Shilong just shook his head and said that they had already eaten before getting on the bus, and only asked me to help bring two bottles of water.

I nodded, told Shui Yanling to wait for me, and then went out.

The dining car was parked in the middle of our carriage. As soon as I stepped out of my compartment, I saw that disgusting, greasy man squeezing through the crowd. When I saw him, he was slapping another man's face and pulling him back so that he could squeeze to the front.

I felt a chill run down my spine. I had actually seen him grab his crotch and his foot with that hand. The man must have been feeling incredibly uncomfortable right now.

Seeing the greasy men's lively behavior, I instantly lost the desire to squeeze in with them. There was only one carriage, and even if they were sold out, I could buy some in the carriages ahead. But I didn't know why they were so excited.

I stood quietly at the back and watched them squeeze through, planning to wait until they were all done before I went over.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room became awkward again. After I left the room, Shui Yanling's aura changed drastically. Her eyes turned cold, and she no longer had the weak and delicate appearance she had in front of me.

Shi Long's aura was constantly shifting, his gaze fixed on Shui Yanling, while the gaunt man lay on the upper bunk, trembling and clutching the urn.

Meanwhile, the woman named Meili was also calmly observing Shui Yanling, and was somewhat surprised, because Shui Yanling's aura changed in an instant and seemed to suppress Shi Long's aura.

Lightning crackled across the stone dragon's body, but he tightly suppressed the raging energy, because if it were fully released, the entire carriage would likely be reduced to rubble in an instant.

After a while, Shi Long withdrew his breath, waved his hand and said, "We have not offended you. How about we each give way?" Shui Yanling's eyes flashed, and she slowly put away the coldness in her eyes. She smiled and said, "That's for the best. As long as you are not at a disadvantage, I will not be your enemy."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Do Not Act Rashly

“But!” Shui Yanling paused, and suddenly an aura much stronger than before was released in an instant. The air in the entire private room seemed to freeze. Mei Li was like a frightened bird, and subconsciously took a fighting stance. Just as she was about to make a move, she saw Shi Long wave his hand with a serious expression, signaling her not to act rashly.

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on him should be prepared to die here."
