Following the Tomag incident, Deer Tree, Linafil, and the other administrators of the Heart of the Divine Island placed greater emphasis on maintaining the security of the Heart City, especially targeting uninvited guests who might be hiding among the crowd with malicious intentions.
They assembled a highly skilled investigation team, and after about a month of covert investigation, they finally obtained detailed information on several potential threats within Heart City. However, just as they were preparing to close in, an unexpected situation occurred.
Lycia and her team members, these seemingly carefree little ones, took action on their own before the adults could even do anything.
Using their unique abilities and keen intuition, they silently identified and tracked malicious strangers, eventually managing to "escort" some of them to Deer Tree and Linafil.
When Lu Shu and Linafei saw a group of little kids excitedly surrounding a few bewildered adults as they walked towards them, their expressions were complicated, feeling both gratified and amused.
The little ones all had a smug look on their faces, as if showing off their achievements, while the adults who were "captured" looked bewildered, clearly having been "captured" by these seemingly innocent children before they even understood what was going on.
"Lycia, what are you doing..." Lu Shu couldn't help but chuckle, but before he could finish speaking, Lycia straightened her chest and raised her head, answering like a little adult, "We're helping to protect our home and prevent the Dragon Festival from being destroyed! We've already noticed that these bad guys are acting strangely."
Linaphile carefully examined the people who had been brought in and was surprised to find that there were several characters among them whom they had not noticed in their previous investigations. She couldn't help but admire the keenness and ability of these little ones.
“You did a fantastic job. It seems we underestimated your abilities and sense of responsibility,” she praised.
This unexpected "arrest" made Deer Tree and Linafil realize that the little ones not only possessed unimaginable wisdom and intuition, but also a heart full of enthusiasm to protect their home.
They decided to formally incorporate Lycia's team into the auxiliary force for security, leveraging their natural advantages to complement the adult forces and jointly maintain peace and order for the upcoming Dragon Festival.
Thus, a special team was added to the defense system of the Heart of the Divine Island—the "Guardians of Childhood Innocence," composed of little radish children led by Lycia. They moved among the crowds, serving as both messengers of laughter and as astute guardians.
......
The day of the Bamboo Dragon Festival is getting closer.
The dragons of the Dragon Sea and various families in the surrounding seas, summoned by the Dragon Festival, quickened their pace, abandoning their usual leisurely voyages and choosing the fastest way—teleportation arrays—to swiftly reach the Dragon Sea.
Although using the teleportation array costs a tiny bit more, I can't worry about that now. You have to understand that the Huanglong Festival is a grand festival that only happens once every thousand years, and the treasures from the events there are worth far more than money.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the winning fleet. One after another, the magnificent dragon boats cut through the sea, reflecting the glow of the morning sun, and looked particularly dazzling.
In the center of the fleet, on the most magnificent flagship, stood a young woman with outstanding temperament. She was Ying Huo's older sister, Ying Xin. Surrounding her were her family members, each with an expression of anticipation and excitement on their faces.
Ying Huo gazed at the gradually becoming clearer Heart of the Divine Island not far away, his heart surging with indescribable excitement.
Heart of the Divine Island, the place Chen Ping mentioned. I never expected to see her again so soon. I wonder if Chen Ping still remembers her?
Hmm, she should still remember me, right? After all, she's been thinking about me constantly these past few days.
Ying Huo's father, Ying Yu, looked at the Heart of the Divine Island with excitement. You must know that the Dragon Festival is the grandest festival of the Dragon Clan, held only once every thousand years.
To be able to participate in person is an unparalleled honor. More importantly, this year's Bamboo Dragon Festival will be held at the Heart of the Divine Island, a name that sounds incredibly impressive.
“We have finally arrived at the Heart of the Divine Island, the venue for the Bamboo Dragon Festival,” Ying Yu, Ying Huo’s father, said softly.
He looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with pride and expectation, "Ying Huo, this is a rare opportunity to learn and experience, and also an important moment for our family to deepen its connection with the Dragon Clan."
"You are currently the strongest among us, and you are also among the younger generation. You will definitely shine in this Bamboo Dragon Festival!"
Ying Huo nodded, secretly resolving not only to enjoy the joy of this festival, but also to take this opportunity to learn about and witness the friendly exchanges between different races, and to bring this honor back to his family and even the entire sea.
At this moment, Ying Xin suddenly leaned over, then whispered into her ear, "Xiao Huo, I remember, Chen Ping, whom you've been nagging about these past few months, isn't he from this Heart of the Divine Island?"
"Hehe, now you're finally going to meet your little boyfriend! How about it? Excited? Happy? Is your heart pounding? Hehe~!"
Ying Huo's face turned red. She rolled her eyes at her sister Ying Xin and said, "Sister! Don't talk nonsense. I'm here to win glory for the family."
Ying Xin teased with a smile, "Oh, really? What are you holding in your hand? Hmm, it looks a tiny bit familiar... It seems like..."
Ying Huo exclaimed, then pounced on Ying Xin, saying fiercely, "Sister! You don't want me to tell Dad and Mom about your affair, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Xin raised an eyebrow and replied, "Oh, Xiao Huo, what secrets do you know about me? I have quite a few secrets, um, I'm not sure if what you know will have any impact on me."
Upon hearing this, Ying Huo instantly thought: ━━( ̄ー ̄*|||━━
Sure enough, when it comes to flirting, it has to be her sister!
Now Ying Huo was at a loss. What could she do? Hmm, she had no choice but to ignore her. Little Ying Huo ran three or four steps to her mother's side. Now let's see if her older sister dares to come closer.
As expected, when Ying Xin saw Xiao Ying Huo run to her mother, she had no choice but to give up her idea of teasing her sister.
The Ying family's ships arrived relatively quickly, so they soon reached the port of the Heart of the Divine Island. It must be said that the port of the Heart of the Divine Island had been expanded by more than a hundred times for this Dragon Festival.
Otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough room for all these ships.
If even more people come, the port will need to be expanded further.
