Long Xun had said he would be fast before taking off, but no one expected him to be that fast.
In less than half an hour, Gu Nu, Chen Ziqi, and Yin Chen had just finished discussing the topics of "universal gravitation" and "Golden Roc King" and were about to switch to another topic when they were startled by a sudden commotion. They quickly looked down and saw panicked people, some picking up weapons, some kneeling down in worship, and some even fainting from fright... The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were in complete chaos.
However, soon, Wei Ziyun and other guards rushed over and stopped the chaos. The panicked guards and imperial guards had a backbone and finally regained some of their competence and courage. Although they were still trembling, at least everyone remembered their position, lined up in formation, and took their weapons and aimed at Long Xun.
The Gu Woman and Chen Ziqi sat confidently on Long Xun's paws. The Gu Woman exclaimed in amazement, "This is the imperial palace! It looks magnificent, much more beautiful than any tourist attraction!"
Chen Ziqi nodded slightly and said calmly, "After all, no one lives in that building at the tourist attraction, and besides... it's been too long."
The real palace was filled with people, and these many people served the emperor, who was in the highest position, and his women.
However, having stayed in this world for a long time, even if Chen Ziqi wasn't paying attention, he would occasionally overhear things happening in this world. For example, the emperor ascended the throne about five years ago, and due to his busy schedule with state affairs, he didn't have time to build a harem, so now the emperor was the only one in the palace.
Of course, I don't know if there are any bed warmers.
For example, this emperor is actually only twenty-one or twenty-two years old... no wonder he looks so young.
The palace was vast, so vast that even a dragon of Long Xun's current enormous size could land comfortably on the plaza. Then, Long Xun lowered its dragon head and said calmly to the people sitting on its front paws, "Yin Chen, you've arrived."
Is this a move to get rid of him?
Yin Chen remained calm and composed, smiling broadly, still holding onto his dragon leg: "I must thank you, Ah Xun. But I wonder what Ah Xun's plans are next?"
There are significant differences between Long Xun's dragon form and his human form. Apart from the different appearance (mud), the biggest difference in personality is that he is more impatient and decisive in his dragon form.
Moreover, during their journey, Long Xun overheard the conversations between Yin Chen and the Gu woman Chen Ziqi, which dispelled his last remaining suspicion that Emperor Yin Chen and the superhuman Yin Chen were the same person.
This emperor was too cunning. His smiling and benevolent demeanor concealed all his thoughts. He subtly probed Chen Ziqi and the Gu woman without revealing his own information, almost causing them to expose their identities as transmigrators. Long Xun remembered that the superhuman Yin Chen had never been so thoughtful.
Although the child wasn't as enthusiastic towards others as he was towards him, he was still very cheerful and innocent.
Even if a person changes, it shouldn't be that their IQ changes so drastically in an instant, right?
If this Yin Chen is not the same Yin Chen, then to Long Xun, the emperor is merely a stranger he met once and rescued on a whim.
It wasn't that friend who... had some kind of feeling for Long Xun that he didn't understand.
Hearing that Yin Chen intended to cause trouble, Long Xun's eyes, as big as houses, narrowed slightly. With a flick of the toe that Yin Chen was sitting on, Yin Chen was sent flying like a pinball, staggering a few steps as he landed on the ground.
The people, whose attention was originally focused on the silver dragon, were all stunned when they saw the dragon suddenly throw a person out.
Isn't that the Emperor?! Isn't that the Emperor who told everyone he was going on a secret trip but got lost as soon as he left the city?!
Where did Your Majesty summon such a mythical beast?!
They actually rode back on a dragon's claw! That's absolutely incredible! No one before them has ever done that!
What does this tell us?
The emperor was a wise ruler! A truly wise ruler! Otherwise, why would the dragon have sent the lost emperor back?
Yin Chen didn't notice the look of awe mixed with fervent admiration and excitement in his subordinates' eyes, which was even more fanatical than that of a die-hard fan seeing their idol. After regaining his balance, he hadn't even turned around when he heard a huge "BOOM!" sound.
—That was the sound of Long Xun turning slightly and his claws hitting the ground.
Amid the tremors, Yin Chen adjusted his expression, making sure he still appeared approachable and good-natured before turning around and calling out, "A-Xun, you escorted me back to the palace, so I should thank you! Why don't you stay for a cup of tea?"
Long Xun didn't speak, but just looked at him indifferently. His dragon face was unreadable, but Yin Chen could still sense the dragon's impatience.
Without hesitation, Yin Chen smiled and said, "Miss Gu, Miss Chen, the imperial chef's food is delicious! Would you like to have a simple meal before you leave?"
The expressions of everyone who heard this shifted to some extent... Why does Your Majesty sound like one of those kidnappers who prey on young girls?
Bah! The Emperor is not like that at all! Anyone who dares to think that way is courting death!
People who were frightened by their own thoughts shuddered and hurriedly tried to brainwash themselves by chanting in their minds things like "Long live the Emperor, the Emperor is the greatest, we cannot say anything bad about the Emperor."
The Gu woman subconsciously looked up... well, all she could see was a dragon's body with scales the size of a bathtub. Chen Ziqi, on the other hand, pondered. She wasn't thinking about the food, but rather about how the emperor had tricked them into coming here.
If we don't keep an eye on things, won't the emperor go back on his word? After all, it was an agreement made with only a few people present. Even if we use the principle that a ruler's word is law, the emperor can still break his promise.
—And I always felt that given this emperor's shamelessness, he would definitely not hesitate to renege on his promises.
