"Dai Dai! You're finally out!"
"Dai Dai!"
Amidst numerous exclamations, an officer-like non-commissioned officer strode forward.
He first greeted Ao Yuan, but upon seeing that Ao Yuan was only accompanied by Dai Xiao Mei behind him.
His expression darkened. They were aware of the dangers of the small world.
Now, with only Ao Yuan and Dai Xiao Mei emerging, the outcome inside was self-evident!
Yet, he still asked, somewhat unwillingly, "Your Majesty, the Guardian Divine Beast, where are the others?"
"Did they all perish?"
"It's fine," Ao Yuan shook his head faintly.
Dai Xiao Mei then chimed in with a giggle, "We came out first."
"They are still inside handling matters, and they should be out soon."
"Phew~"
As Ao Yuan and Dai Xiao Mei spoke, the NCO visibly relaxed.
If the others had all died.
It would have been enough to prove how dangerous this small world was.
And for Da Xia to possess such a small world would cause widespread panic.
Fortunately, it was all unfounded.
"Wait here."
"We're going back."
After a brief chat with Ao Yuan, he immediately disconnected.
Then.
Ao Yuan took Dai Xiao Mei directly to Mount Taibai.
After entering the small world once and successfully seeing the heavenly treasures within.
Ao Yuan was eager to know if Mo Zi and Ao Guang had managed to open up the small world at Mount Taibai in the past few days.
And what treasures they had obtained.
After all.
He had instructed them to explore that small world when they had time before he left.
Ao Yuan and Dai Xiao Mei moved with great speed.
Under the gaze of many onlookers, the figures of one person and one beast quickly disappeared from sight.
...
Approximately thirty minutes later.
Ao Yuan and Dai Xiao Mei had already returned to Mount Taibai.
"Hmm?"
Upon arriving at Mount Taibai, Ao Yuan immediately sensed something was amiss.
Within his perception, he couldn't detect the auras of Mo Zi and Ao Guang.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Ao Yuan murmured, descending from the sky with Dai Xiao Mei.
"Moo~"
"Roar~"
"Hiss~"
As soon as they landed, numerous animals below prostrated themselves before Ao Yuan.
These beasts had all heard Ao Yuan expounding the Dao before.
Looking at them, Ao Yuan nodded gently.
Good. During his absence.
Their strength had all improved to some extent.
It seemed they hadn't slacked off these past few days.
"Excellent."
"Where are Ao Guang and the others?"
"Roar~ They went into the small world."
"Hiss~ Yes, they are still in the small world and haven't come out yet."
"Awoo~ Lord Ao and the others entered yesterday!"
...
After listening to them one by one, Ao Yuan nodded.
They entered yesterday.
So they shouldn't be out today yet.
Since that was the case, Ao Yuan didn't intend to disturb them.
After all, not only did Dai Xiao Mei need to gain experience, but Mo Zi did as well.
Of course, the most crucial point was that Ao Yuan had been inside.
Knowing that the monsters of that caliber posed no fatal threat to Mo Zi and Ao Guang.
However, he was unaware.
At this very moment, within the small world, there were not only Ao Guang, Mo Zi, and a group of newly strengthened animals.
There were also gene warriors from the United States of America!
And at this moment, thinking that Dai Xiao Mei and Ao Guang were leveling up and fighting monsters in the small world, he didn't think much of it.
After instructing the others to cultivate diligently, he turned back into the Dragon Palace.
He waved Dai Xiao Mei aside and sat on the main seat, impatiently beginning his lottery draws.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 Beast Cores.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 Dragon Blood Pill.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Dragon race innate divine ability, Eye of Insight.]
[Description: Allows you to probe the effects of heavenly treasures!]
...
After drawing ten times in a row, Ao Yuan felt a little dejected.
Apart from gaining the Eye of Insight, Ao Yuan really didn't want to look at anything else.
All of it was stuff he simply didn't need.
"Forget it, I won't draw anymore!"
Ao Yuan finally shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "System, display attribute panel."
[Host: Ao Yuan]
[Race: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon]
[Realm: Spirit Sea Realm Second Heaven]
[Physique: 26 (Strength of Ten Thousand Jin)]
[Body Length: 2.7 meters]
[Talents: Devour, Dragon Might, Dragon Flame, Cloud and Rain Control, Ten Thousand Zhang Body, Gale, Lightning Summoning, Dragon God Claw, Weak Water]
[Dragon Envoys: Dai Xiao Mei, Mo Zi]
[Evolution Points: 17000]
[Items: Eye of Insight, 9 Dragon Blood Pills, 1 shapeshifting pill with 30 minutes duration, 5 Beast Cores]
"Huh?"
Glancing at the attribute panel, Ao Yuan's eyes immediately noticed the changes in physique and body length.
If he remembered correctly, his previous body length and physique were not this much.
"No wonder I felt my strength had increased, so it really has."
Ao Yuan said, yet he was somewhat puzzled.
He hadn't leveled up.
[Ding, the host can also improve their realm and strength through self-cultivation, just like ordinary people.]
Receiving the explanation, Ao Yuan suddenly understood, and then lay back on the dragon bed, preparing to sleep.
Cultivation?
That would never happen in this lifetime.
When Ao Yuan woke up, it was already dark.
"Dai Xiao Mei?"
Wandering out, Ao Yuan immediately spotted Dai Xiao Mei in the Dragon Palace hall.
She was currently livestreaming, with a pile of food as high as a small mountain beside her.
"Grumble~"
Looking at the food before him, Ao Yuan's stomach rumbled appropriately.
"Dai Dai!"
"You're awake!"
Upon seeing Ao Yuan, a flicker of joy crossed Dai Xiao Mei's face.
"Where did all this food come from?"
Ao Yuan asked, looking at the food beside him.
"Oh."
Dai Xiao Mei paused for a moment, then smiled, "This food was sent by Bai Feng."
"Hmm~"
Hearing this, Ao Yuan nodded with great satisfaction.
Waking up to food was such a blissful thing!
Although the system said he could receive guidance on cultivation through spiritual energy.
And absorbing spiritual energy alone was enough to stave off hunger.
But Ao Yuan felt that this path was clearly not suitable for him.
Rather than painstakingly cultivating and waiting for realm improvement, how could it be as satisfying as the system?
"Dai Dai, are you hungry?"
Just then, Dai Xiao Mei asked.
Ao Yuan didn't reply, but lay to the side, opening his dragon maw, his intention evident.
"Hahaha."
Dai Xiao Mei chuckled heartily, then said, "Come, Dai Dai, I'll feed you!"
"I've learned quite a few culinary skills recently!"
Ao Yuan raised an eyebrow at this.
At this moment, dots of scorching flames emerged from Dai Xiao Mei's hand.
She effortlessly began to lightly roast the nearby food.
Simultaneously!
She immediately took out various seasonings from the side.
After a series of actions.
Hey!
It had to be said.
It did smell rather appetizing.
"Dai Dai, try it?"
As Dai Xiao Mei said this, Ao Yuan unconsciously opened his mouth.
Gulp~
