The next day.
Only when the first ray of sunlight shone on Shen Yunhao's face did he slowly open his tightly closed eyes.
Only then did he realize that it was already noon, and the sunlight shone through the hundred-meter-deep cliff to the bottom.
I had a very pleasant chat with Sister Li'er last night, and we talked quite late, which caused me to sleep until now.
Just as I was about to get up and stretch, I felt a patch of white dragon scales in front of me.
Only then did he notice that Zhu Li's slender dragon body had coiled up at some point, surrounding Shen Yunhao in the middle.
Shen Yunhao smiled slightly, naturally guessing that Sister Li'er's actions were intended to protect him from the cold night wind.
He turned his head to look towards the dragon's head.
Zhulilong's eyes were closed, and his breathing was even; he did not appear to be awake.
Shen Yunhao remained motionless so as not to disturb the sleeping Li'er.
However, looking at her sleeping soundly, Shen Yunhao sighed inwardly once again.
In his mind, he rarely judged other races by their beauty or ugliness, let alone dragons, which are creatures that only exist in legends and are inherently abstract and indescribable.
But now, looking at the little white dragon, it truly fulfilled all his fantasies about such a fantastical creature; it was incredibly beautiful…
Sure enough, after being single for a long time, even a dragon seems handsome...
Shen Yunhao looked around and found that Bai Long was still covered in wounds and bloodstains, looking miserable yesterday.
In just one night, the wounds on his body had healed by more than half, and new fine scales could be vaguely seen growing.
"As expected of the dragon race, their regenerative abilities are truly far beyond what humans can match!"
As Xiaobailong's injuries improved, Shen Yunhao's mood also improved.
"Huh? By the way, where's that little guy?"
Zhuli used her dragon body to completely surround Shen Yunhao, leaving only a small open space in the middle.
But at this moment, the little clam spirit was nowhere to be seen in the circle.
Shen Yunhao stood up and looked outside, but saw no one. However, he couldn't leave Zhu Li's encirclement at the moment, so he could only shake his head and say, "What have you been doing so early in the morning..."
Perhaps the movements were too loud and disturbed the sleeping person.
The white dragon snorted, moved its head, slowly opened its eyes, and released a faint purple halo.
"Hmm... Yun Hao, why are you awake so early... Hmm..."
Shen Yunhao blinked, and suddenly felt like laughing.
So, even dragons have morning grumpiness?
"Mmm...mmm..."
As expected, Zhu Li groaned in a daze for a while before slowly extending her body and releasing Shen Yunhao in the middle.
But when he moved, Shen Yunhao could clearly feel the entire bottom of the cave trembling slightly.
After all, it was a behemoth over twenty meters long.
I don't know how I managed to sneakily wrap myself up last night.
"Ah—um..."
The girl yawned, her tone still languid: "It's been so long since I've had such a peaceful sleep since I was being hunted down..."
That's true. Before the Blood Soul Halberd was pulled out, her life force was almost constantly draining away, and she was enduring immense pain. She had no chance to rest.
"Sister Li'er, how are you feeling?"
"Much better! Without that damned Blood Spear, I'll recover quickly..."
"That's good..." Shen Yunhao nodded.
Zhu Li suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Ahem... those minor injuries will heal quickly, but it will take a long time to recover one's cultivation level..."
Shen Yunhao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to go back. I doubt any of my family members will be worried about me. They might not even notice if I disappear."
Little White Dragon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, I almost let it slip...
Like Shen Yunhao, she gradually grew to like the atmosphere here and suddenly didn't want to face the troubles of her family anymore...
...
Shen Yunhao's belief that no one would worry about him was clearly a mistake.
The most anxious family right now is neither the Shen family nor the Ning family.
On the contrary, it was the constables in the city.
If yesterday was just a minor skirmish, starting today, basically all the constables in the city have been mobilized.
Zhou Lin, the chief constable of Lin Yuan City, who was forced to accept the military order yesterday, has been investigating all night and has appeared at the north gate of Lin Yuan City with his men.
Actually, it wasn't difficult to find out where Shen Yunhao went.
After questioning and investigation last night, he has identified a carriage that left the city the day before yesterday as the suspect.
But all the clues disappeared after leaving the city...
They had no idea where the carriage was going.
Fortunately, there are no roads leading to other cities to the north of Lin Yuan City, only a range of rolling hills and mountains.
If you go another forty or fifty miles north, you will reach Tianyuan, which is a dead end.
Just as Zhou Lin was about to organize a search party for this area, two figures stood in an open space in the city lord's mansion.
One of the white-haired old men was none other than "Third Master," whom even Zhao Qingyuan had to treat with utmost respect.
At this moment, however, he was extremely respectful to an elderly man in a green robe beside him: "Uncle-Master Wu, please, sir, you must help me this time! That mortal brat cannot be allowed to get into trouble here..."
The old man in the green robe hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Zhao Sanyuan, are you sure that little child is the one Ning Yuyao wants to protect?"
"It's absolutely true! I beg you, Uncle-Master, to use your divine powers; I must find out where that mortal has gone!"
The old man in the green robe stopped talking and casually waved his hand, producing a compass out of thin air.
He uttered the incantation, and the compass floated directly in mid-air, emitting a golden luster.
