Chapter 997 Return to the City
Xie Shiyuan and the other two also said, "The Ninth Level Trial is over, and we have to go back first. We will go to Buli City to find you when we have time."
Shen Fuzhou also said goodbye: "I have to go back first, the old man must be worried to death, I have to go back in person to report that I am safe."
Luo Li teased, "Aren't you going to the Mu family?"
The corners of Shen Fuzhou's lips twitched, and he clasped his hands together and said devoutly: "After this journey, I feel that I have seen through the world."
Xie Shiyuan and the others burst into laughter, and Luo Li also laughed, "Okay, no more jokes, see you next time."
"Okay," the four of them waved their hands and said with curved eyes, "See you next time."
After a few people left, only Luo Li and Mu Wuzhi were left there.
Mu Wuzhi looked at Luo Li and said, "Ali, do you want to go back to Qingfeng Valley with me?"
Hearing this, Luo Li thought about it and refused first: "I won't go for now, cousin. I have to go back to the city first, but I will visit in person after a while."
Mu Wuzhi didn't force it. She knew this trip wouldn't be easy, so she just smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in Qingfeng Valley."
She looked at Luo Li with sparkling eyes. She naturally felt it in the Netherworld. It was the power left by Luo Li that protected her, otherwise she would probably not be able to walk out alive.
Luo Li nodded, "Second cousin, please give my regards to Grandpa and the others for me."
Mu Wuzhi responded with a "OK" and left immediately, returning to Qingfeng Valley first.
Luo Li looked around and found that she was in the territory of the Phoenix Clan in the northern continent.
It’s a little far from Buli, but at her current speed, she can get back to Buli City in half a day at most.
Half a day later——
Without leaving the city gate, a group of people stood at the door, looking into the distance from time to time.
As the sun sets, a figure finally appears on the distant skyline.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all stood on tiptoe to look.
The slender figure came closer and closer, with her clothes fluttering, and Luo Li had already landed in front of the city gate.
"Welcome back, young master!" The people of Buli City, led by Luo Yunqi and Shi Heng, shouted in unison, their voices loud and clear, their faces filled with unconcealable joy.
Luo Li chuckled, "I'm back."
Luo Yunqi took a step forward, his eyes slightly red, "Xiao Li, I just hope you can come back safely."
Luo Li nodded, her eyes swept over the crowd, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure behind the crowd - Mo Buqi, dressed in white, was leaning against the city wall, looking at her with his arms folded, a faint smile on his lips.
She was startled for a moment, then her brows relaxed and she walked towards him, "Why are you here?"
Mo Buqi stood up straight, his voice clear and sweet, "I heard you were coming back today, so I came to greet you."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "You are well-informed."
He chuckled, "After all, it's a big deal that won't leave the city."
The group walked towards the city, and the setting sun stretched their shadows very long.
Luo Qinghuai glanced at her sideways, "This Ninth Level Trial is extremely dangerous. We can't always see you through the light curtain. Are you safe?"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm fine, not hurt at all."
"That's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As the night deepens, the lights throughout the city light up, illuminating the entire city with warmth and brightness.
After a short gathering at the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Li returned to her residence alone late at night.
She slipped into the Tower of Gods and saw Bai Ze, Xiao Liu and the others pointing at the monster egg.
Luo Li curled her lips and walked over, "Did you see anything?"
Bai Ze turned around when he heard the voice, his silver hair glowing faintly in the candlelight.
He frowned and said, "I can only confirm that it is the egg of a dragon monster."
The little fur ball poked the eggshell with its claws, then suddenly retracted its hand with an "ow!": "It's so hot!"
Luo Li's eyes narrowed, and she leaned over and placed her palm on the eggshell.
In an instant, interwoven red-gold patterns lit up from her fingertips and moved across the surface of the eggshell like a living thing.
"Crack--" A slight cracking sound was heard, and a crack meandered down from the top of the eggshell.
"Back off!" Bai Ze suddenly pulled Xiao Liu and the others back.
Almost at the same time, dazzling golden light burst out, illuminating the entire Tower of Gods like a sea of blood.
Luo Li squinted in the bright light and saw a claw covered with red scales tearing open a crack.
As the eggshell exploded, the arm-high monster cub shook off the slime all over its body, and its wet wings spread out with a "whoosh" -
It turned out to be a golden dragon.
"Roar!" The young dragon roared towards the sky, and the sound waves made the ancient books on the bookshelf fall to the ground.
When he lowered his head, his lava-like vertical pupils happened to meet Luo Li's eyes.
The air suddenly froze.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Chaos Golden Dragon..."
The young dragon flapped its wings and rubbed against Luo Li's neck, showing a sense of attachment.
Luo Li pinched his wings and placed them steadily on the table, "Forget it, just keep an eye on him."
"knew!"
Luo Li looked at the little golden dragon again, "Stay here and don't make trouble."
The Chaos Golden Dragon blinked its red eyes, as if it understood, and nodded obediently.
Luo Li was satisfied and turned to leave the Tower of Gods.
Two days later, after finishing some remaining minor matters, Luo Li said goodbye to her uncle and prepared to go to Qingfeng Valley.
Three days later, Qingfeng Valley.
Luo Li stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at the misty mountains in front of her, took a deep breath, and walked in.
Mu Wuzhi had been waiting at the valley entrance. Seeing her arrival, she happily stepped forward and said, "Cousin A'li!"
Luo Li smiled and called out "Second cousin", then her eyes fell on the elders behind her.
Mu Zhengnian was leaning on a cane, looking at her lovingly. He was the master of Qingfeng Valley - her grandfather Mu Zhengnian.
"Grandpa." Luo Li stepped forward and called out with a smile.
Mu Zhengnian quickly supported her, his voice trembling, "Good girl, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Luo Li felt warm in her heart and was about to speak when she suddenly noticed a sharp gaze falling on her.
She turned her head and saw a stern-faced middle-aged man standing not far away, looking at her with complicated eyes.
Mu Wuzhi introduced in a low voice: "That's my uncle, Mu Chenzhou."
Luo Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she took a step forward, raising her hand to salute, "Uncle, I'm Luo Li."
Mu Chenzhou was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, "Now that you're back, you should rest well in the valley for a few days."
Although his tone was calm, the concern in his eyes was hard to hide.
Luo Li understood and smiled slightly, "I understand, uncle."
Beside Mu Chenzhou, a gentle and handsome man smiled and said, "My name is Mu Qingxuan, and I'm your third uncle."
Luo Li smiled and said, "Hello, Third Uncle."
Behind her, Mu Lin and Mu Chao quietly waved and greeted her.
Mu Zhengnian said, "Your third uncle Mu Chi and your eldest cousin are not in the valley. They will not be back for two days."
That night, Qingfeng Valley held a banquet to welcome Luo Li.
During the meal, Mu Qingxuan asked about the details of the Ninth Level Trial. Luo Li gave a brief account, concealing the dangers involved.
