"How could there be so many" Hao Ren was astonished as he looked up at the sky. Even during Zhao Yanzi's birthday banquet last time, when water element dragon cultivators from all over gathered together, it wasn't this crowded!

A rough estimate showed that there were at least four or five hundred cultivators circling near the Nine Dragons Palace in the sky.

"It will only get more crowded. Get used to it." Su Han said calmly. "You should go buy your breakfast."

Anyway, if the sky fell down, there would be experts like Su Han to support it; and the Nine Dragons Palace wasn't solely for the East Sea, so such scenes happened every few decades or so and didn't warrant excessive alarm.

Morning walk with a "lion." Not everyone could enjoy this kind of leisure. Xiao Bai's true form was majestic and imposing, and taking out such a "big dog" was incredibly eye-catching.

Other Labradors, big white bears, golden retrievers, or spotted dogs on the road would all stay far away from the "white."

Xiao Bai walked with its head held high and steady steps, trying to act out a domineering presence that commanded respect from others. However, it had gotten so used to acting cute平時裝可愛都習慣了。

The girls going to class in the morning were all drawn over by the sight of Xiao Bai, looking like it was covered with snowy silk. They couldn't help but be amazed and envious.

They weren't afraid of this larger-than-life version of Xiao Bai at all; they even gave it sausage and bread, contributing their own breakfast to feed Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai stretched its long tongue out without rejecting anything tasty that came its way. As for the girls who were stroking and hugging it, well, it would just have to put up with them for a while.

Hao Ren didn't expect that no matter how big or small Xiao Bai became, it could still make girls like it so much that he even felt a bit envious of the guy.

Filled and satisfied, Xiao Bai wagged its large tail and followed Hao Ren to a nearby small restaurant.

He bought three servings of meat-and-vegetable dishes and packed them to take away. After some thought, he decided that they should also have something for lunch and bought two more packs of frozen dumplings.

As Xiao Bai was led out of the small shop, Hao Ren was about to head back to Su Han's apartment when suddenly a flash of white light appeared before him, revealing an adult man in Taoist robes who bowed slightly at Hao Ren. "Are you a disciple of the Mount Tianshan Sect"

Hao Ren looked at him in surprise as Xiao Bai stared with its big eyes and stood beside Hao Ren.

Seeing that Hao Ren didn't respond, he continued to ask, "You are from the Yuan generation My dear friend Lu Gao Yang is a close friend of your master. Shall I escort you back"

Hao Ren looked at him in even greater surprise and shook his head repeatedly.

"Could it be that you're not a disciple of the Mount Tianshan Sect" This man was also puzzled, stepping back a few steps while muttering to himself. "Strange, strange, clearly with one of the Five Elements Spirit Roots and accompanied by a Snow Lion, could I have mistaken him"

He didn't hesitate any longer; he stared at Hao Ren for a few seconds before another flash of white light appeared and vanished.

Hao Ren looked questioningly at Xiao Bai beside him while Xiao Bai gave him an even more puzzled look.

Snow Lion, Mount Tianshan Sect… Suddenly, Hao Ren felt like he understood something.

Could it be that not all cultivators are Dragon Clan members

The Nine Dragons Palace fell from the Fifth Layer of Heaven to the First Layer. And according to Zhao Hongyu's account, there were former cultivation sects gathered on the Fifth Layer!

The Nine-Dragon Palace is hidden within the Five Heavens, which means that cultivation sects above the Five Heavens have coveted it for a long time!

Holding three bowls of pure rice and two packs of frozen dumplings, Hao Ren hurried back to Su Han's apartment.

Zhuanyu had already gotten up, but her face still showed signs of fatigue. When Xiao Bai saw Zhuanyu, it immediately shrank into its miniature form and pounced into Zhuanyu’s arms.

It chirped in a cute voice, acting like a spoilt child as its fluffy head even rubbed against Zhuanyu's chest.

Hao Ren picked up a candy on the table and smashed it onto Xiao Bai’s head before it finally stopped being so clingy.凹曰站姐曬）小說齊傘

"The two bowls of rice are for breakfast, while the two packs of dumplings are for lunch," Hao Ren said.

Su Han glared at him; although she still couldn’t learn how to fry eggs, boiling dumplings and instant noodles were on par. She knew how to do that!

And her fake angry expression actually revealed a rarely seen elegance.

"Su Han, wasn't it just the dragon clan this time who acted recklessly when we intruded into the Nine-Dragon Palace" Hao Ren continued asking her.

"The Nine-Dragon Palace is an ancient temple and was never privately owned by the Four Seas Dragon Palaces. It's just that with the Four Seas Dragon Palaces having extensive influence, they control the normal methods to open it; thus no one else dares to speak up. As for those cultivation sects, they’re merely here to grab a share of the pie," Su Han said as she ate her piping hot rice.

Zhuanyu blinked her eyes but had no idea what Su Han and Hao Ren were talking about.

However, Hao Ren was wary. That Heavenly Mountain Sect, which cultivated the seven-colored snowlotus, might be the only ones who knew how to cultivate the ten-thousand-year-old snowlotus that Lu Family’s sisters mentioned.

"But below the Five Heavens, cultivation sects dare not act recklessly; they wouldn’t even dare land on the ground. Otherwise, it would be a violation of rules, and if they were killed for it, they’d have to accept their fate," Su Han continued, probably just trying to reassure Hao Ren.

Hao Ren nodded and thought to himself that it was no wonder the middle-aged cultivator had come and gone so hurriedly. If he had stayed on the ground for too long, he would likely have encountered danger.

The Fifth Heaven served as a boundary: human cultivators' territories and their sects were above the Fifth Heaven, while dragon cultivators ruled over the land and sea with their territory below it. However, this division was not strictly enforced; those with sufficient strength could break through these boundaries. Zhao Kuo's case was an example—no one could stop him from flying into the Seventh Heaven as long as he did not violate the rules of the Heavenly Realm, but entering the Eighth Heaven might trigger the incalculable heavenly tribulation.

Only the fewest members of the Golden Dragon lineage possessed the privilege to reach the Eighth Heaven. Even then, it was because in recent centuries, they had a senior who successfully passed through the heavenly tribulation and transformed into a celestial dragon!

Hao Ren finished a bowl of jujube soup and stood up, bidding farewell to Su Han.

Zhao Yanzi shuffled beside the dining table until she finally stood up and followed Su Han out to see Hao Ren off. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes avoided meeting Hao Ren's gaze.

So what if it was just a kiss! Hao Ren thought about her previous bold words in contrast with her current behavior, finding himself unable not to chuckle.

"Rest at Su Han’s place for a day. If your parents don't come back these few days, you can stay here," Hao Ren said as he looked at her and gave instructions.

Su Han glanced sideways at Hao Ren with her eyes, thinking to herself that it was no wonder he had always been so capable—she hadn’t even agreed yet, but he had already made arrangements for her. However, she did indeed care about Zhao Yanzi, and since her parents were not home and she was sick, she couldn't really hinder her staying here.

"If you're free in the evening, I'll come see you again," Hao Ren said to Zhao Yanzi as he saw her standing by the door with her head lowered, shaking slightly.

"Who needs you to look at me" Zhao Yanzi suddenly lifted her head and showed off her sharp little canine teeth.

"Little White, what do you want now" Hao Ren noticed Xiao Zai circling around Zhao Yanzi's feet and bent down to tug on its ear, sending it into the dimensional space.

Without looking back, Hao Ren walked towards the elevator.
