"This matter can be discussed later."
Seeing the gazes of everyone fixed on him, Elder Long remained silent for a moment before saying, "Although Daidai has been quite friendly towards our Great Xia.
But if we were to propose it rashly, it's hard to guarantee he wouldn't develop any resistance.
And if that were to give other countries an opportunity, it wouldn't be good."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Indeed, when Ao Yuan's popularity exploded across Great Xia, foreign media had also published targeted reports about him.
If Great Xia were to say something inappropriate to Ao Yuan, who knew what the outside world might do.
*Ring ring.*
Just as Elder Long finished speaking, an untimely knock echoed through the door.
"Please come in," Elder Long said sternly.
The door was quietly opened, and a man in his forties entered with a grave expression.
As soon as the people in the conference room saw him, their hearts tensed.
For the newcomer was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Great Xia.
He usually handled Great Xia's relations with other countries abroad and rarely returned.
"Elder Long."
As everyone was thinking, he walked up to Elder Long and said, "The United States, along with three other countries, are currently pressuring our Great Xia, demanding to meet Daidai."
"Reject it!" Elder Long replied without a hint of hesitation. "Is Daidai someone they can just meet whenever they please?"
"If they were to cause any harm to Daidai, who would bear the consequences?"
"Yes, Elder Long!"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs was silent for a moment, then nodded, indicating his understanding.
"Alright, let's adjourn this meeting for now."
After the Minister of Foreign Affairs left, Elder Long stood up after a moment of silence and said, "Upon returning, pay special attention to the situation across Great Xia. We must absolutely prevent any beast riots from occurring!"
"Even if they do, they must be stopped immediately!"
"Yes!"
In the conference room, everyone stood up, their bodies stiffening, and responded in unison.
At the same time.
On the other side.
Ao Yuan, Dai Xiaomei, and Mozi had returned to Dai Xiaomei's home.
The two humans and one beast turned off the live stream and were leisurely lounging on the large bed.
Ao Yuan swore that he was actually unwilling to lie with Dai Xiaomei and Mozi.
But perhaps Dai Xiaomei felt a little guilty about calling Ao Yuan "Daidai," so as soon as the stream ended, she pulled Ao Yuan to lie down with her.
She also called her good friend Mozi over.
This made Ao Yuan feel quite put upon, but he still forgave Dai Xiaomei for calling him Daidai.
There was no other way.
After all, Dai Xiaomei was a maid he had found himself.
No matter what, he couldn't blame anyone else.
That's right, it was because he had found her as a maid himself that Ao Yuan forgave her.
...
"Daidai, you're trending again!"
Mozi, who was casually scrolling through her phone while lying on the bed, suddenly paused and said.
"What, let me see." Dai Xiaomei exclaimed from beside her.
Mozi then handed her phone to Dai Xiaomei.
On the phone screen, a highly popular post was displayed.
It already had hundreds of thousands of likes.
Dai Xiaomei clicked on it and saw that it was the scene from her live stream where Ao Yuan was summoning the wind and rain.
Upon clicking to read the comments below, she found a series of exclamations and expressions of shock.
"Daidai, look quickly, you're trending again!"
Ao Yuan glanced at it but said nothing.
Instead, he proudly tilted his head up.
His demeanor seemed to suggest, "Isn't it normal for me to be popular?"
In reality, it wasn't that Ao Yuan didn't want to speak. It was after he was 'reluctantly' pulled up by Dai Xiaomei.
At first, Ao Yuan was quite excited.
But to his surprise, as soon as Dai Xiaomei started, she began bombarding him with questions.
She asked about everything.
Topics like what it felt like to be a dragon, why he could eat so much, and so on.
This left Ao Yuan feeling speechless and regretting why he had 'reluctantly' forgiven Dai Xiaomei earlier.
If he hadn't forgiven her, none of this would have happened.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for establishing the image of a Great Xia totem, Dragon Palace unlock progress increased by 1%.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, Dragon Palace unlock progress has reached one hundred percent, please arrange the Dragon Palace as soon as possible.]
[Upon successful placement, the system will provide the host with a grand gift package.]
Hearing the voices in his mind, Ao Yuan froze.
He clearly hadn't expected to obtain the Dragon Palace he had longed for.
"Daidai, what was the situation with that giant python in Mount Taibai earlier?"
At this moment, seeing Ao Yuan's silence, Dai Xiaomei changed the subject.
That giant python in Mount Taibai had truly terrified her.
Ao Yuan slowly regained his senses and casually glanced up at her.
"Oh, Daidai, just tell us about it." Seeing that Ao Yuan wasn't answering, Dai Xiaomei quickly grabbed Ao Yuan's claw and shook it.
Ao Yuan remained unresponsive, showing no intention of paying attention to Dai Xiaomei.
Instead, he was contemplating in his mind where it would be best to place his Dragon Palace.
This would be his future residence, and Ao Yuan didn't want to settle it so easily.
It required careful consideration.
"Then... Daidai, did you see your parents underwater in the Heavenly Lake of Mount Taibai?" Seeing Ao Yuan's continued silence, Dai Xiaomei changed the topic again.
Suddenly, Ao Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.
This wasn't because Dai Xiaomei mentioned his parents.
After all, he himself had never seen his dragon parents.
What caused him to pause slightly was Dai Xiaomei's mention of the Heavenly Lake of Mount Taibai.
Yes, that's right.
Ao Yuan was thinking of placing his Dragon Palace in the Heavenly Lake of Mount Taibai.
From then on, the Heavenly Lake of Mount Taibai would become his permanent residence.
Ao Yuan had this idea because Dai Xiaomei was found near the Heavenly Lake of Mount Taibai.
Also, upon arriving at the Heavenly Lake, he did indeed feel an extremely comfortable sensation.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Lake was quite vast, especially as the source of several rivers, making it convenient to travel anywhere.
With this thought in mind, Ao Yuan no longer hesitated and decided to establish the Dragon Palace above the Heavenly Lake.
"Do you want to see the Heavenly Lake?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Ao Yuan's question, Dai Xiaomei's eyes lit up and she immediately replied without a hint of hesitation.
Although she had just returned from the Heavenly Lake and was still quite scared.
But now that she knew the giant python had been taken in by Ao Yuan, she wasn't as afraid anymore.
After all, in a sense, Dai Xiaomei and the giant python were in comparable positions.
One was a maid, the other a subordinate. In terms of intimacy, Dai Xiaomei felt that she was even closer to Ao Yuan.
Seeing Dai Xiaomei agree, Ao Yuan turned his questioning gaze towards Mozi.
He didn't speak, but Mozi clearly understood the meaning in his eyes.
She nodded lightly, indicating that her thoughts were the same as Dai Xiaomei's.
"Roar~"
Seeing that both of them had agreed, Ao Yuan no longer hesitated.
He let out a roar and broke through the window.
"Roar!"
"Let's go!"
Ao Yuan, flying in mid-air, called out to Dai Xiaomei and Mozi.
"I knew Daidai was the best. Daidai, come a little closer, I can't climb on."
Ao Yuan glared fiercely at Dai Xiaomei.
What did she mean?
She wanted to ride him??
He was a dragon, how could anyone just ride him if they pleased??
