“丽丽，起床啦。”许尘一早起来买完早餐，在王丽的房门口大喊，随后掏出手机给王丽打电话，王丽在里边回应了一句，算是正式起来了，和王丽在一起这将近一年，许尘也见识过了王丽的磨蹭出门准备工作，他上网冲浪时刷到过很多视频，大部分说的是等女朋友出门前自己至少可以开两到三局农药，许尘听到了王丽的回应，索性回房拿出手机网上冲浪，还顺便开了一局游戏，他打农药完全是个小菜鸡，只能在黄金段位当混子，不过许尘也不在乎，这么新奇的娱乐方式，总不能把它当成事业来干，和丽丽确定关系之后，许尘的事业已经变成了和王丽一起得道长生。出乎意料的是，许尘开的这局对面存在一个失去了一家户口本的炸鱼人，许尘本来躺在沙发上无所谓的操作着手机，遇见强敌，渐渐坐起了身子，脸色一时间变得有些慎重，半小时后，己方的水晶还是爆炸了，他退出游戏，见王丽在门口看着自己，许尘拿起油条和豆浆递给王丽，“丽丽，昨晚又熬夜了？”许尘关心的问道，王丽摇了摇头，看了一眼许尘，俏脸上带着一丝红晕，心想我为什么失眠你还不知道吗？两人三下五除二吃完了早餐，离开了酒店。
等到了紫禁城门口，许尘扫眼望去，人还挺多，看着紫禁城的红墙，他心里想起了自己刚来时的想法，“这就是龙子住的宫城吗？果然辉煌气派。”等两人拉着手走到大门前，许尘看见旁边一个小建筑，听旁人说里边似乎是在卖讲解器，许尘拉着王丽的手走过去，一人配了一个讲解器，走进了城门。王丽兴奋的边跳边走，不一会儿，两人就走到了太和殿前边的广场，此时这里游人如织，家长带着小孩，情侣牵着彼此的手，大家似乎都戴上了遮阳帽，许尘灵力覆于双眼，仔细地看向了不远处矗立的巨大宫殿，它好像一个将军一般接受着周围宫殿的拜见，观察了一会儿之后，许尘见到太和殿上方有一丝丝紫气正在连接着天空，好像在与天地共鸣。“龙气？幸亏来这里之前在宗内看了许多有关龙的古籍，不然还真的认不出来，这丝龙气虽然极其微弱，但还是存在的，看来寻龙一事，和这些古代帝王脱不开关系。”古时龙统御人界，相比凡人来说，龙其实就是天，太和殿如今存留着一丝紫色的龙气，那些居住在此的古代帝王们，说不定就是龙在尘世的代言。许尘收回目光，他打定主意游览完这座宫城之后，深夜飞到太和殿上方，看看是否能观察出紫气的去向，“尘尘，你发什么呆呢？来，咱们合影。”王丽举起自拍杆，和许尘一起与太和殿一起拍照，两人在紫禁城里走来走去，期间还买了快餐吃完继续游览。
A day passed, and it was already afternoon. The two left the palace and rested by the roadside. Wang Li kept rubbing her legs and said to Xu Chen in a spoiled tone, "Chenchen, I can't walk anymore. Let's take a taxi back to the hotel." Xu Chen carried Wang Li on his back. "Okay, let's wait for the taxi here." Back at the hotel, Wang Li was so tired that she didn't even want to speak. She was soaked in sweat. Xu Chen took her to her room. "Lili, get some sleep, take a shower, and we'll go shopping tonight." Wang Li nodded and went into the room.
Xu Chen turned around, his expression unfriendly as he looked out the hotel window. Several plainclothes men, clearly well-trained, were constantly observing him from outside. Xu Chen avoided their gaze to prevent alerting them. He walked out of the hotel and strolled leisurely through an alley, soon disappearing on the other side. Seeing this, the men quickly hurried forward, trying to catch up. At this moment, Xu Chen emerged from the courtyard of a house in the alley and asked them, feigning confusion, "Gentlemen, you've been following me all day. Is there something you need?" The men exchanged glances, unsure how to answer. The leader then looked at Xu Chen and said with a smile, "Young man, what are you saying?" "We're just tourists here." Xu Chen yawned, then said, "Did Tang Tiancheng send you?" Seeing that the men remained silent, Xu Chen waved his hand, "You can go back now. I'll visit Tang Tiancheng tonight." The men in plainclothes didn't linger and quickly left. Xu Chen scanned the room with his divine sense and found that the man he had spoken to was on the phone. He guessed that Tang Tiancheng would probably be waiting for him to come over tonight. "I should have kept my mouth shut yesterday; it caused me a little trouble." Xu Chen smiled helplessly, then left the alley. He strolled around for a bit, bought some food to tide him over, and planned to go shopping with Wang Li after they finished eating.
"Chenchen, where are we going tonight?" In Xu Chen's room, Wang Li asked while eating a hamburger. Xu Chen replied, "To the Water Cube, to see the Bird's Nest, let's take the subway." Wang Li quickly finished her hamburger and pulled Xu Chen out of the hotel. Xingcheng City also has a subway, even if it's not as well-developed as Beijing's, the two of them knew how to take the subway and transfer. On the subway, Xu Chen saw several students wearing purple short-sleeved shirts with "Qinghua Affiliated High School" written on the back. Wang Li tugged at Xu Chen's sleeve, "Chenchen, do you think I can get into Peking University?" Wang Li glanced at the words "Qinghua Affiliated High School" and thought of her target university, Peking University. Xu Chen gently comforted her, "You have to have confidence in yourself, and even more so in your teacher, Xu Chen. Believe in yourself!" Upon hearing this, Wang Li turned her head away from the students and kept an eye on the arrival time. After getting off the subway, the two rode shared bicycles straight to the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest. In the plaza, tourists were taking photos with the two buildings in small groups. Xu Chen and Wang Li strolled around, taking pictures as they went, completing their photo-taking plan. However, what started as holding hands eventually turned into Xu Chen carrying Wang Li on his back. On the way back to the subway station, just as the two were enjoying their time together, a voice rang out nearby, "Another pair of country bumpkins begging for food here." "Honey, let's go, don't argue with her, there are more and more people." Xu Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw what sounded like a local middle-aged woman speaking rudely to a young couple. Judging from their conversation, they had been arguing for a while. Wang Li also got off Xu Chen's back, and the two watched the commotion from the sidelines. The young couple couldn't win the argument. The man pulled his wife, intending to leave, but the woman became increasingly audacious, loudly mocking, "You should stay in your small hometown. Beijing is not a place you can afford to visit." The man was furious, but remembering his wife was there, he suppressed his urge to retaliate and stormed off. Seeing this, the woman felt triumphant and turned to leave. In high spirits, she didn't care about the whispers and pointing fingers. Xu Chen looked away and noticed Wang Li's downcast expression. He asked softly, "Lili, what's wrong?" Wang Li's face was pale. She gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Home is best, isn't it, Chenchen?" Xu Chen nodded, and the two walked into the subway station together.
