The farce that was unfolding in Beast City was unknown to Shushu, who had already left via the teleportation array.

All she knew was that, with a wave of dizziness, the light flickered and then dimmed, and when her vision returned, they were already standing in another room.

Unlike the unguarded teleportation array in Beast City, this place was surrounded by many guards dressed in the same uniform.

Upon seeing them, one of the leaders stepped forward and asked, "You're from Beast City, what brings you to the Southern Continent?" His tone remained calm.

At this moment, Long Yi, who was acting as the spokesperson, stepped forward and uttered two concise and powerful words: "Visiting friends."

The voice also carried a hint of intimidation, making it exceptionally intimidating.

The pressure was felt by the guard, who immediately stopped hesitating and stepped back to make way.

Seeing that he was sensible, Long Yi was pleased and relaxed his grip a bit, generously tossing over a few mid-grade spirit stones.

Upon receiving the spirit stones, the guards became even more respectful, their faces beaming with eager smiles, truly embodying the adage "money is everything."

Long Yi pursed his lips, somewhat speechless, but didn't dwell on it too much. He quickly stepped out of the teleportation array and headed towards the door, with the others following closely behind.

The group filed out and quickly left the courtyard where the teleportation array was located.

Several golden beast-drawn carriages were waiting outside. Both the carriages themselves and the celestial horses pulling them were covered in a layer of golden armor.

Beside the beast-drawn carriage stood a row of handsome men and beautiful women dressed in glittering gold, exuding the aura of the dragon race. Clearly, they were all dragons of the dragon race.

The leader of them was a beautiful woman whose appearance was somewhat similar to Long Yi's, and whose entire body, including her hair, was golden.

Upon seeing Long Yi, the woman immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

As she approached, Shushu felt as if a ball of gold had come to life and was walking around, dazzlingly bright. He had to coat his eyes with spiritual power to avoid being blinded by the golden light.

Then, she silently watched the ball of gold—no, it should be this golden dragon-man—first calling out "Second Elder" to Long Ji, then calling out "Ancestor" to Long Chu and Long Bing respectively, and finally calling out "Big Brother" to Long Yi before turning her gaze to Shushu and the others.

"I presume you are fellow Daoists from the Rat Clan and the Flowing Moon Sect? Greetings, my name is Long Yin, and I am the Dragon Clan's manager in the Southern Continent. I will now arrange your itinerary. Please feel free to offer any suggestions you may have."

This was the first time that Shushu had ever seen a dragon with such a calm and polite attitude, so he couldn't help but look over curiously, only to find that the other party was also looking at him with curiosity.

When she looked over, the other person playfully winked at her.

"This is an interesting dragon," Shushu thought, and unconsciously blinked as well.

The next moment, she was unexpectedly pulled into a golden, fragrant, and soft embrace.

Before she could react, she was quickly pulled back, and her senior brother stood in front of her, his tone unusually cold: "Dragon and rat should not touch each other. I hope Fellow Daoist Longyin will take note."

Are dragons and rats not supposed to be intimate?

Not only the parties involved, Shushu and Longyin, but also the other dragons and rats around them, as well as Xu Ruoyun and Tutu, were all stunned by his words. They looked at each other in bewilderment, and the space fell into an eerie silence.

After a long pause, Xu Ruoyun finally spoke, somewhat uncertainly, "Is there such a saying?"

Rabbit, playing the straight man, said, "I don't think so."

Then, the two of them received Lu Li's death stare, and even the surrounding air suddenly turned cold, as if a refrigerator had suddenly appeared.

Seeing Lu Li radiating cold air, Xu Ruoyun and Tutu immediately obeyed.

Xu Ruoyun: "I might be mistaken, but that sentence definitely exists."

Rabbit: "Yes, yes, human language is too profound. I haven't learned much. I must have missed some things."

Now, Lu Li was satisfied. He withdrew the cold aura around him and returned to his usual gentle demeanor.

The others looked speechless. Finally, Long Yi stepped forward and chuckled, "Yeah, sis, you better watch out."

He quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, don't just stand there. Come on, let's get on the beast-drawn carriage and go back to the inn. Ancestor, Senior Shu, please." Long Yi gestured for them to join in.

So everyone got into the carriages. Shu Chi and several elders of the Dragon Clan gathered together and went to the lead beast-drawn carriage.

With millet and wheat in one hand and sweet potato in the other, Shuli quickly got into the car and successfully occupied the seats on either side of Shushu. Lu Li, who followed closely behind, could only sit opposite Shushu.

Xu Ruoyun and Tutu exchanged a glance and silently went to the third beast carriage, with Long Yi and Long Yin following behind.

The fourth and fifth beast-drawn carriages carried several other dragons that accompanied them.

Soon, a row of golden beast-drawn carriages set off, their hooves clattering as they headed towards Ganquan City.

Yes, it is Ganquan City.

Unlike Beast City, the teleportation array in the Southern Continent is not located within the city walls, but rather in the back mountains twenty miles away from the main city of Ganquan City.

Because they both belong to Ganquan City, flying boats are prohibited within the city.

Although one could fly directly through the air, the dragons had promised to take care of the entire trip and didn't want Shushu to feel embarrassed, so they arranged for him to travel in a beast-drawn carriage.

It's fortunate that Shushu didn't know the real reason behind this, otherwise she would definitely have said: "There's no need for that."

That's right, there's absolutely no need for that. Who would have thought that the dragon's carriage is not only golden on the outside, but also inside – golden seats, golden tea table, golden curtains.

In short, sitting in the beast-drawn carriage, apart from the few people there, everything in sight was golden, making it almost impossible for Shushu to look directly at the color gold.

It's also because the Dragon Yi and the others I've encountered recently have been behaving too normally, to the point that I've forgotten that dragons love golden things, especially gold.

Thinking about what Longyin had just said, that it seemed like she had arranged the rest of the journey, Shushu had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after the carriage had traveled for half an hour and entered the main city of Ganquan, arriving at a courtyard, Shushu's premonition came true.

Hearing Longyin coming down from behind, she smiled and introduced to Shushu, "This is everyone's inn for today," and then pushed open the door to warmly invite Shushu in.

Looking at the courtyard in front of me, where the trees, the weeds in the corners, and the floor were all golden.

The only thought in Shushu's mind was: Longyin and Lingjun must be particularly compatible.

After all, they are both extreme lovers of gold, how could they not get along!
