Chapter 779 Reunion with the Big Tiger (2)
The canyon is a safe zone.
Even when the patrolling soldiers are mentally prepared, they still feel apprehensive when they see the dragon.
The man standing on the cliff edge is from the Beast Planet.
They are distinguished guests.
On the way to the central city, we passed through this place and, for some reason, ended up going up the mountain.
That dragon was said to be his pet.
They only obey his orders.
The Ice Crystal Dragon stopped at the edge of the cliff and gently placed the rabbit-like female and the injured human male on the ground.
Yu Zhizhi raised her hand and gently touched the dragon's claw: "Thank you, Gerald."
So that explains why she was able to summon this demonic dragon—it turns out that Prince Canglan is not far from here.
"Your Highness Canglan~" Yu Zhizhi came to him and called softly.
Cang Lan glanced at her indifferently.
He ignored the little female rabbit in front of him.
Instead, he said to the Ice Crystal Dragon, "Step back, Gerald."
The dragon let out a soft "roar".
Its figure slowly disappeared.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the night sky above the cliff, where the aura of the Ice Crystal Dragon had completely dissipated.
She remembered that His Highness Canglan's talents were [Sword] and [Dragon Taming].
However, at that time, awakening the talent for dragon taming was a secret. Very few people knew of the existence of the Ice Crystal Dragon, Gerald.
In the long time she'd been away from the Ice Palace, Gerald had grown up. Princess Azure now seemed no longer hesitant to bring him into the public eye.
Several soldiers from West Shi Canyon came over and took away the seriously injured young man with superpowers.
One of them bowed to Cang Lan and said, "Your Highness Cang Lan, your lodgings have been prepared. It's in the temple ahead."
After saying that, he looked at Yu Zhizhi again: "Lindu Squad?"
Yu Zhizhi nodded: "Have they come back?"
"Not yet, you're the first one back."
Yu Zhizhi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran towards the cable car: "I still have things to do, Your Highness Canglan, I'll come find you later!"
She only remembered to do the system tasks and forgot about the team's cleanup work!
Luckily, I remembered!
Yu Zhizhi re-entered the area and summoned the elf Aquilia halfway there. After arriving at the cleaning area, she completed all the work in less than an hour!
That's more like it.
Only after finishing all the tasks could Yu Zhizhi finally get a good night's sleep.
She then took the cable car back to the safe area.
Led by the soldiers, they arrived at the temple where they would spend the night.
The temple is located on the mountainside in a safe area of the canyon. The stone steps have been worn smooth by time, with moss growing in the crevices, making them somewhat slippery to walk on.
The old pine tree beside it has gnarled branches and a canopy that blocks out the sky.
The temple gate was ajar, with no plaque or couplets, so it was impossible to tell which deity was enshrined there.
It has now become a place for superhumans from all over the country to settle down.
The soldier led her to the east side of the main hall.
"Miss Yu, your team will be staying here tonight."
There's a small courtyard; once you push open the door, you'll find two guest rooms.
Yu Zhizhi thanked the soldiers.
After the soldiers left.
She pushed open the door and entered one of the rooms. The room was small, and the furnishings were so simple that they were almost bland.
A wooden couch, covered with a faded blue-printed cotton quilt. A square table, on which sits a rough ceramic teapot and two upside-down teacups. Beneath the window is an old rattan chair, its armrests worn smooth and shiny.
A bamboo clothes rack stood in the corner, with a neatly folded gray cotton bath towel draped over it. Yu Zhizhi sat on the edge of the wooden couch, her rabbit ears drooping, her fingers gently tracing the blue floral print on the bedding.
She took out her phone and sent a message in the group to let everyone know she was safe.
Zhizhi: [I've already gone back to the temple, waiting for you all.]
The captain replied instantly.
[Zhizhi, you should rest if you're tired. I might be up late tonight. @JinAn, how are you? Are you alive or dead?]
Lan Jin'an: [。]
He remained as taciturn as ever.
Yu Zhizhi felt a little relieved when she saw their replies in the group chat. However, on the way here, Fu Lindu had already said that the cleanup task was tedious but not difficult.
Superhumans of their caliber rarely encounter fatal danger.
After taking a shower.
Yu Zhizhi lay on the tatami for a while, then turned over and turned over again.
A very faint sound came from next door.
Almost instantly, she realized that the creature living in the next courtyard was a giant tiger! On Earth, her mental energy was abundant, and her senses had become exceptionally sharp!
After a while, low voices came from next door. They were muffled by the earthen wall, as if they were being heard through a wet cotton cloth.
Only a low, steady voice could be vaguely discerned, along with the occasional question with a rising tone at the end of a sentence.
The voice reporting was unfamiliar to Yu Zhizhi.
Yu Zhizhi immediately recognized the occasional "hmm" in response as belonging to Prince Canglan!
To confirm her theory, she decided to go and see for herself.
Yu Zhizhi came to the courtyard.
The temple walls are not high, and the courtyards are very close together.
After observing for a while, she decided to stand on higher ground so that she could clearly see the source of the sound.
Yu Zhizhi stepped on the stones at the base of the wall and clung to the top of the wall with both hands.
After using her mental power, she flipped herself up the wall in an instant. Sitting on the wall, half of her body was covered by the lush foliage, and she looked towards the neighboring courtyard.
The neighbor's yard was much bigger than hers.
Cang Lan sat on a wooden chair under the eaves, her long golden hair cascading down, holding a cup of tea in her hand. She was slightly tilting her head, listening to what the person next to her was saying.
His profile was strikingly handsome in the moonlight, his eyelashes drooping, obscuring his expression.
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit eyes lit up immediately.
It's really him!
Cang Lan held her teacup, her peripheral vision already catching sight of the two white rabbit ears on the wall, gently swaying.
He didn't turn his head, but simply pressed the rim of the cup to his lower lip and took a slow sip.
The little rabbit poked its head out again.
First her forehead, then her eyes, round and bright. She didn't realize she'd been discovered and covered her mouth with her hand, thinking that would keep her hidden, but her rabbit ears stood straight up.
The young guard spotted the eavesdropper almost immediately.
However, he noticed the Crown Prince's gaze. That look clearly warned him not to alert the enemy.
The guards only reported the incident and did not go to find the rabbit-woman who was eavesdropping.
Why did he feel that His Highness Canglan deliberately wanted to listen to his report on the embassy in the courtyard?
A soft rustling sound came from the other side of the wall.
Cang Lan lifted her eyelids slightly, and her golden-brown pupils shone for a moment in the moonlight.
The teacup rested on his lap, and wisps of steam rose, blurring the outline of his profile.
Golden strands of hair fell down the sides of his face, dividing his aloof and arrogant features into two distinct parts of light and shadow.
A faint, ambiguous smile played at the corners of his lips.
I don't know if they were mocking the little rabbit that thought it was well hidden, or if they simply felt that the night was not worthy of its boredom.
The guard's report is over.
Cang Lan slightly raised her hand, signaling him to leave.
The young man bent down and left.
Cang Lan stood up, looked at the rabbit shadow hidden on the wall, and slowly walked over.
See you tomorrow~
