Most importantly, this deity of the Great Thousand Worlds is closely related to her in some ways. Putting aside everything else, at least when she speaks, Lu Shan will agree to even the most unreasonable requests.
Thus, it means that the Dragon Clan now has a powerful deity backing them up, and she can now be considered a demigod. In the vast world today, only the Dragon Clan can boast such a luxurious scale.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing that Jiang Jinyu's smile had relaxed considerably, Lu Shan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he came in, Zhou Mu had repeatedly told him to take good care of Jiang Jinyu. Even if Zhou Mu himself didn't realize it, he, as an outsider, saw it clearly.
Zhou Mu truly regarded Jiang Jinyu as his own sister. After all, their friendship, which had lasted since childhood, had not changed in the slightest over time.
...
A crisis is unfolding in the world.
Inside the nine-story pavilion, Zhou Dandan sat upright, and opposite her was Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked at Zhou Dandan, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then put it down. Then, he looked up at Zhou Dandan and his eyes began to change little by little.
"How should I address you? Should I call you Your Highness, or Miss Zhou Dandan?"
Zhou Dandan smiled gently and said, "Whether it's Your Highness or Miss Zhou Dandan, it's just a title. Why take it so seriously?"
“The princess knows perfectly well that I’m not being serious.” Wang Xu’s expression was unusually solemn. He then exhaled a slight breath and asked, “Has something major happened in the Great Zhou?”
"No," Zhou Dandan said, then gently shook her head. "Actually, I can't really explain it. I just ended up here for no reason, but it's good to be able to see my brother again."
When Zhou Mu was mentioned, Zhou Dandan's eyes showed a rare tenderness.
Seeing this, Wang Xu fell silent, a rare occurrence. He didn't speak, but simply looked at Zhou Dandan quietly, as if the person he had watched grow up suddenly felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"Aren't you... Princess?"
He asked this somewhat inexplicable question.
Zhou Dandan smiled, got up and walked to the window. As usual, she jumped up and sat on the windowsill, swinging her legs. The smile on her face made her look like an elf descended to earth, full of spirit and indescribably beautiful.
"For so many years, I've been thinking that if my brother had been more open to advice and honest counsel in his later years, would the vast empire have collapsed so easily?"
His expression changed as he said this.
Perhaps these sincere words touched Wang Xu, for he slowly stood up. Already somewhat aged, he now needed a cane to walk.
That speed was even faster than a tortoise.
He walked slowly, and no one urged him on, so he took his time. By the time he arrived, it had taken him quite a while. When he stood by the window, Zhou Dandan had already closed his eyes. Perhaps out of subconscious murmuring, he said, "Brother... don't leave Dandan... Dandan is very obedient and well-behaved."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xu's eyes instantly reddened. He then sighed deeply and said with some emotion, "This child has suffered a lot. It's truly pitiful for her... She's just a little girl, yet this world has shown her no kindness whatsoever..."
...
Inside the courtyard, Zhou Mu lay on a recliner, listening to the servants' reports. He closed his eyes slightly, gazing at the azure sky through the gaps in his eye sockets.
"What did you say? Where did Dandan go?"
Upon hearing the name Zhou Dandan, Zhou Mu immediately sat up and stared wide-eyed at the servant.
Ye Mujiu was startled, but the latter's actions seemed to rouse her. She stopped pretending to sleep, propped her head up with her small hand, and slowly looked at Zhou Mu.
At this moment, Zhou Mu was extremely shocked.
The servant was startled, but quickly recovered and whispered, "Miss Dandan went to the front lines volunteering. It's said that she's a heroine..."
The servant, completely oblivious to Zhou Mu's worsening mood, continued in that smug and hopeful tone.
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Mu slammed his fist on the table in anger and shouted, "Who let her go? Who gave her permission to go? Did they get my permission?"
The barrage of questions left the servant bewildered. Even if he were stupid, he would realize something was wrong. How could he withstand the pressure from the saint? He immediately knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I didn't know... I didn't know."
Zhou Mu knew that making things difficult for a servant over such a small matter would only be taking his anger out on someone else. So he frowned, waved his hand, and signaled the servant to leave. The servant immediately felt as if he had been granted a pardon and left as fast as he could.
Seeing this, Ye Mujiu comforted him, "Nothing will happen. Dandan is just a playful person. It was just a momentary whim. And now that the two venerable masters, Longling and Longkui, are stationed at the front line, those extraterrestrial demons won't dare to act recklessly."
That's the logic, but as the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Zhou Mu couldn't calm down no matter what. He paced back and forth, and finally, with a grim face, he walked into the courtyard and shouted loudly at the center of the courtyard: "Jing Mu!"
He was practically gritting his teeth.
He was so angry that he forgot to use polite language.
"He has no manners at all, calling me Uncle Jing without any respect for elders."
Suddenly, a muttered complaint rang out, followed by a figure slowly walking out.
It was Jing Mu.
However, Jing Mu's appearance caused Zhou Mu's anger to reach its peak. He stepped forward, disregarding all etiquette, and grabbed Jing Mu by the collar, angrily saying, "Jing Mu, did you agree to let Dandan go?"
Ye Mujiu had never seen Zhou Mu so angry before, and she was quite shocked. Before she could react, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhou Mu, Uncle Jing is your elder..."
"What elder is he..." Zhou Mu roared, his eyes already red, then looked at Jing Mu, "If my sister dares to suffer any harm, don't blame me for being impolite."
Jing Mu said calmly, "This is Dandan's own wish. She asked me to pass on a message to you. She said she was very happy to see you again."
"again……"
Upon hearing this word, Zhou Mu's face turned pale, as if he had thought of something, leaving him completely bloodless.
He took several deep breaths, as if a drowning man had grabbed onto a piece of duckweed.
"What does Dandan mean by this? Could it be that she is also...?"
