Xiaodie picked up a broom and started sweeping the yard.

Xuanqing followed behind the little dumpling and ran out of the Dragon Tiger Temple in a flash. The little dumpling threw the spirit fruit she had eaten most of to the gatekeeper, Golden Horn, and cleared her throat. "This protector is going to patrol the mountain. You'd better keep a close eye on the Dragon Tiger Temple!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Respectfully seeing off the Great Protector!"

Golden Horn stood up and wagged its tail. Seeing the little dumpling walk away, it immediately crawled into the wooden house to sleep.

Two figures moved through the mountains and forests, and the little dumpling arrived at Baitou Peak, which was not far from Luoxia Peak.

"Old Eagle, I've come to see you."

A golden eagle perched atop the mountain.

The little dumpling tossed a spirit fruit to the golden eagle.

"Thank you, Great Protector!"

"Hey buddy."

The little dumpling was brothers with all the great demons in the mountains. She pointed at Xuanqing and said, "His name is Xuanqing. He is my new little brother. Please take us for a tour of the mountains."

"Come on up!"

The golden eagle lowered its body.

Little Dumpling and Xuanqing sat on the back of the golden eagle.

The golden eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky. The little dumpling pointed to the distance and said, "That's the City God Temple. I often help the City God catch ghosts. That's Mirror Lake Village, and that's Mirror Lake Academy."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing grinned and said, "I've been to Mirror Lake with my elder brother, and it's bigger than this Mirror Lake."

"I've been to Shenyan Lake with the boss."

"We've also been to Shenyan Lake."

"Have you ever been to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"No."

"Hehe, I've been there. I've had drinks with the Empress. We're best friends."

"Little dumpling sister, you're amazing!"

"I am the Great Protector!"

The little dumpling told Xuanqing about her exaggerated deeds, which Xuanqing listened to with admiration.

The golden eagle led them on a long circuit around the Purple Cloud Mountains, finally landing near Mirror Lake. The little dumpling took light steps to a farmhouse near the academy.

The little dumpling walked into the courtyard and said with a sweet smile, "Grandpa, I've come to see you. Here's a spirit fruit for you."

Old Gao's health is much better than before. Since coming to the Ziyun Mountains, he often farms with Chen Xingzhou, and Xiao Tuanzi often comes to visit him. He is very happy every day.

“Grandpa, He is Xuanqing. He came to Ziyun Mountain Range with the eldest brother.”

"What a sturdy kid."

"hey-hey."

Xuanqing scratched his head.

"You mean Master Qin is back?"

"Yeah, I knew our leader would come back. He's invincible. Ziyue and the others are just worrying for nothing!"

"It's good that you're back."

Old Gao was also happy.

The little dumpling waved his hand, "Grandpa, we're going to play now, we'll come see you again when we have time."

Old Gao watched the little dumpling and Xuanqing run off into the distance, a smile in his eyes. "Youth is truly wonderful!"

The little girl arrived at the local temple near Jinghu Village. She picked up the fruit in the bowl and said, "Grandpa Earth God, this fruit will spoil if we don't eat it soon. You're such a waste."

"Haha, little aunt, this was specially saved for you." A kind old man appeared outside the Earth God Temple. After years of incense offerings, the Earth God of Mirror Lake has become more and more powerful, and his appearance has also changed drastically.

The little dumpling distributed the fruit offered by the villagers to Xuanqing. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Grandpa Earth, his name is Xuanqing. He's my new little brother, a dragon."

The Earth God of Mirror Lake could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Xuan Qing, and he respectfully said, "Greetings, Little Dragon King!"

"Grandpa Earth".

Xuanqing immediately bowed in return.

"Also, my boss is back."

"That's wonderful!"

The Earth God of Mirror Lake said excitedly.

The little dumpling grinned and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find Sister Linglong, she's a dragon too!"

Jinghu Academy.

On the training ground, the shouts of battle were deafening as Wu the Killer taught the boys how to fight.

When Wu Shashen was teaching, he had a serious expression. "Your punches must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. You also need to show your momentum. You have to win over your opponent with your momentum. Shout it out loud!"

call out!

A fruit flew over.

Without looking to the side, Wu Shashen reached out and caught the spiritual fruit thrown by the little dumpling, saying loudly, "Thanks!"

"Coach Wu is so handsome!"

The boys' eyes were filled with admiration.

"Shut up and start practicing!"

Wu Shashen looked serious as he ate fruit and urged the boys to continue practicing martial arts.

The little dumpling grinned and said, "That's Wu the Killer. He's incredibly brave and fearless."

Linglong, dressed in a white dress, walked towards us. The little dumpling grinned sweetly, "Sister Linglong, He is Xuanqing, a dragon like you, who came back with my boss."

"I know."

Linglong smiled and nodded. She possessed the water transport of the Luo River and knew many things. "Why didn't Mr. Qin come?"

"The eldest brother is still resting in the Taoist temple."

"Mr. Qin, you've worked hard."

The little dumpling raised an eyebrow. "Sister Linglong, if you're busy, I can teach you a couple of lessons."

Linglong couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Last time I went to the Water God Temple to worship, I asked you to keep an eye on them for me. But you took them to go fishing. When I came back, they even went fishing during class time."

"mine."

"I won't take them fishing anymore."

"You spend most of your class time telling stories. You can lead them on the field trip next time."

"Alright!"

Linglong gently patted Xuanqing's head, her eyes softening. "The dragon bloodline within you is far stronger than mine. You must work hard to restore the glory of our dragon race."

"Sister Linglong, I understand."

Xuan Qing nodded heavily.

Linglong and Xuanqing were both happy to see that there were still members of their own kind alive, and felt a sense of closeness to each other.

Xuanqing handed Linglong a dragon bloodstone, her little face beaming with a sweet smile, "Sister Linglong, this is for you."
