A faint cry rang out, but all three heard it.

Then a phantom image emerged, a golden dragon gleaming with golden light, exuding domineering aura, its claws possessing immense power and incredibly lifelike.

Li Changfeng's mind was completely blank, a complete mess.

Fantasy is unreal.

A dragon has appeared? Is this a movie plot device?

Does it have to be this fake?

Even if it's just a phantom, it's enough to break down fixed ways of thinking and perceptions.

"Master, this..." the little nun stammered, "Am I dreaming? Am I in a dream?"

"No," Master Jing'an said definitively, her eyes burning as she stared intently. "It is real."

"Perhaps one person was hallucinating, but the three of us were watching closely. Could all three pairs of eyes be wrong?"

"What's going on?"

"You ask me, but I don't know either. My master is just a mortal, not a god, and he doesn't know everything in the world."

"Benefactor Li, do you know?"

Li Changfeng shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

Youlong opened his eyes, his terrifying and majestic presence captivating the soul. He looked down at the three of them, as if an emperor were looking down upon all living beings.

"It won't attack us, will it? Should we leave?" The little nun asked timidly and fearfully.

“Mr. Li, please close the box,” said Abbess Jing’an.

The best way is to close the box, stop the phantom, and interrupt it.

Li Changfeng realized what was happening and was about to close the book.

The golden dragon opened its mouth wide, roared again, and charged towards Li Changfeng.

Holy crap!

Li Changfeng swore and unconsciously cursed.

Master Li is a man who has weathered many storms and witnessed all sorts of grand occasions, and he can always maintain a clear judgment.

However, at that moment, he was a step too slow.

The box wasn't closed, and the golden dragon was already in front of them.

The next second.

Everything is gone.

And then that was it...

They came and went in a hurry.

For some unknown reason, the golden dragon phantom disappeared.

We don't know where they went, we don't know how they disappeared. We're all confused, like confused fruit on a confused tree, and you and I are all confused under that tree.

It just disappeared all at once.

The imperial seal returned to its original state, becoming a beautiful piece of jade, devoid of luster, and the sky returned to darkness.

Everything that just happened felt like a dream.

Like a fleeting moment, an illusion, unreal.

Li Changfeng was simple-minded, slow-witted, and dull.

"Master, pinch me." Li Changfeng offered his arm.

“No need, Benefactor Li.”

"Just pinch it, hurry up."

“Benefactor Li, I can tell you that I saw it too.”

"Hey, why are you so stubborn? Go ahead and pinch me."

"Little nun, come here." Li Changfeng was a different person. The older he got, the more stubborn he became. He would argue and complain about things that could be resolved in a second.

It's something that can be done with a simple touch, what are you babbling about?

Seeing that Li Changfeng was treating her master badly, the little nun opened her mouth and bit Li Changfeng's arm.

"Ouch!" Li Changfeng cried out in pain.

"Damn, are you a dog?"

"Hmph, wasn't that what you asked for?" the little nun snorted coldly, sniffing.

"I told you to pinch, not to bite."

“A more realistic bite will make your mind clearer,” the young nun reasoned.

“Yihui, stop being so rude,” Abbess Jing’an admonished. “Tonight, without the help of Benefactor Li, my master and I would have perished here.”

"Your master taught you that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude."

"Not to mention the debt of saving my life."

"How could you speak so harshly to Benefactor Li?"

"Master..." The little nun lowered her head, looking aggrieved.

"Master, please don't blame me. I'm a tough guy, it's nothing." Li Changfeng tried to smooth things over. "Did you two see how that golden dragon disappeared?"

"I saw it." Abbess Jing'an nodded.

"How did it disappear?"

Master Jing'an pointed.

Li Changfeng looked in that direction and his gaze fell on the Tianyuan Sword in his hand.

"Tell me more about it."

"The golden dragon phantom seems to have burrowed into your sword."

"Master, please don't joke around. Can you be serious?" Li Changfeng scratched his head.

“I’m not lying to you, Benefactor Li. The golden dragon phantom didn’t just disappear with a touch; it vanished little by little from head to toe. To the naked eye, it looked like it had disappeared inside.” Abbess Jing’an said earnestly.

"Of course, it could also be an illusion."

"After all, what just happened was unbelievable and inexplicable."

Li Changfeng picked up the Tianyuan Sword and examined it, but in the dark, he couldn't observe it inch by inch.

I simply put it away.

"Master, you are a Buddhist and believe in Buddha and Bodhisattva. You often hear some legends. Can you answer some of my questions?"

"Or could you give a general, approximate answer?"

Master Jing'an smiled wryly, "Benefactor Li has put this humble nun in a difficult position. I believe in the gods and Buddhas, but that doesn't mean they can understand."

You overestimate me.

"Alright," Li Changfeng said helplessly.

“Benefactor Li, it seems someone else is here.” Abbess Jing’an looked up in one direction.

“The Heavenly Soldiers.” Li Changfeng hit the nail on the head.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, I heard my fourth senior sister's voice.

"Junior Brother."

"Senior sister, I'm here." Li Changfeng raised his hand and waved.

Fourth Senior Sister led a group of people over, looked around, and strode up to Li Changfeng. "I made a mistake earlier, I'm sorry."

"Where's the stuff? Give it to me."

"Senior sister, don't be so apologetic to me. You're being too polite." Li Changfeng placed the box in his fourth senior sister's hands.

He never thought of dominating or possessing.

I came here purely to help.

You can't take things that don't belong to you.

No matter how good something is, you can't let it give rise to evil thoughts.

Even if you take it, can you keep it?

The higher-ups are taking this so seriously, they're crazy.

Li Changfeng wasn't so stupid as to do something like embezzling public funds.

They died without even knowing how they died.

"Senior sister, are you really that confident that I'll get it?"

"That's right, is there anything my junior brother can't handle?" Fourth Senior Sister affirmed without the slightest doubt.

"It's inside the box."

Fourth Senior Sister opened it and glanced at it, then checked, "Hmm? Why is there blood on it?"

“Hey!” Li Changfeng stretched out his arm.

"Junior brother, are you injured?"

"Minor injury, not worth mentioning," Li Changfeng said casually.

"Come on, let's go back and I'll bandage you up."

"It's not that delicate, it'll all scab over by the time we get back," Li Changfeng said with a smile.

He wasn't one of those pampered young men or women who would make a fuss over a minor scratch as if it were a life-threatening event.

It hurts more than when my father died.

Fourth Senior Sister smiled slightly, looked at the other two, and said solemnly, "Master Jing'an, Little Master, thank you for your help tonight. I will report to my superiors and make sure to mention you two."
