"Huh?" Xia Xiang looked up at the source of the other voice and saw the principal, Qian Laiye, who had quietly appeared beside them.

"Hey Principal, wanna grab some late-night snacks?"

Xia Xiang looked around and saw that the passing vehicles, the pedestrians in the distance, and the neon lights of the shops had all stopped.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the breathing of the four people could be heard, as if the people in front of them had pulled them into another space.

"Gentlemen, when I came out, Elder Pan instructed me not to disrupt the order of spacetime. This Rex cannot be killed," Qian Laiye said with his eyes narrowed and a shrewd businessman's expression, just like always.

Ji An nodded and put away the Demon-Slaying Slash.

Xia Xiang shook her head, looking like a clueless fool, showing him no respect at all.

"Then I wonder if the principal could draw a line? After all, we're demon-slaying warriors who hate evil like poison. Who knows, one day the Demon-Slaying Slash might just fly right onto someone's neck," Xia Xiang said with a touch of arrogance.

Qian Laiye's smile froze, and the surrounding sounds returned to normal.

"Hahaha, Xia Xiang and Ji An, what a coincidence!" Qian Laiye instantly changed into a gold silk bathrobe, carrying a bag of barbecue, and laughed exaggeratedly.

"I just came out to buy a late-night snack, how did I run into you guys?"

Qian Laiye handed another book to Xia Xiang, "Here, this is the book you dropped, right? Take good care of it next time, you can learn a lot from comic books too."

"Oh, thank you, Principal!" Xia Xiang looked at the comic book cover, handed it to Ji An, and shouted to Qian Laiye's retreating figure, "Goodnight, Principal!"

"The Golden Pen Points to the Dragon? So this is a record of prophecies about the past, present, and future. It's not much different from a regular comic book." Ji An read the words on the cover. "What use is it to us if we can't even read it?"

“This is probably the line he drew.” Xia Xiang stuffed the gold pen with the dragon design that Ji An handed back to her directly into the large pocket on the front of her hoodie.

"Rui Li ㄈ——Wu La Ba Ha——Dispel Spell!" Xia Xiang dispelled the coagulation spell on Rex, who was lying on the ground.

"You're using your superpowers and disregarding the order of time and space?!" Ji An said with some concern.

This kid is practically dancing on the edge of danger if I don't keep an eye on him for a day.

Xia Xiang: "Please! I worked so hard to become a demon-slaying warrior!"

"Although I was kidnapped before, I eventually agreed, do you know why? Because being a demon-slaying warrior allows you to exist independently outside the twelve dimensions."

"The Gold Dimension doesn't suppress my abilities at all. As long as it doesn't have a major impact on me, using my abilities won't affect the spacetime order at all, OK?"

Ji An insisted with a stern face, "How will you explain it if others find out?"

Xia Xiang said impatiently, "Then don't let anyone else notice!"

"Pour it down his throat," Xia Xiang said, handing Ji An a stoppered test tube.

"He can't die, it would disrupt the order of time and space," Ji An said expressionlessly, refusing Xia Xiang's attempt to poison him.

"This is the Sleeping Forest. It's easier to deal with him if he's asleep," Xia Xiang explained helplessly.

This was a drug she snatched from the bad guy who sold mango shaved ice; it was even more suitable for the Gold Dimension baby.

Ji An felt that Xia Xiang despised him in her heart, but unfortunately he had no evidence.

Why should he work with a child who is unpredictable, doesn't follow the rules, is moody, and has a childlike mentality?

Xia Xiang: It's good for you to reflect on yourself more often.

"This will do," Xia Xiang said, pointing to the nearest hotel they had found.

"Black Cat Hotel? Are you sure?" Ji An, carrying Rex on his back, looked up at the large sign and the security guards in black suits and sunglasses standing at the entrance, and was somewhat worried about Rex's safety.

"What's the big deal?" Xia Xiang retorted. "We live in a society governed by the rule of law now, there's nothing to worry about."
