On the day of leaving, Lin Dai looked at the four-legged spirit beast in front of her that could be called a horse, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, after experiencing so many worlds, she had learned to ride a horse, so riding a spirit beast should be similar.

"Old man, it turns out that you are also a polar manager. Thank you so much for lending me this spirit beast."

"It's okay. We have a guardian spirit beast in each area. On weekdays, everyone will use it to help with things. You can rest assured to ride it to Youlan City. It knows the way and will come back by itself when it gets there."

"That's great!" Lin Dai was originally worried that she would get lost, but now she doesn't have to worry anymore.

"Then I'll be leaving first. See you later."

After saying this, he jumped lightly onto the back of the spirit beast, waved to the old man and his family with a smile, and set off on his journey.

After leaving Wuyou Village, looking at the speed of the spirit beast, Lin Dai couldn't help but wonder if it was really possible to make the round trip in one day?

Just as she was wondering, the spirit beast under her butt suddenly stopped. Lin Dai touched its head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, the spirit beast roared, then spread its legs and ran madly. Lin Dai was so scared that she quickly grabbed the rope, and soon arrived at Youlan City while bumping and screaming all the way.

Lin Dai sat on the spirit beast's back in shock. She stroked her chest and slowly slid down from the beast's back. Her legs were trembling with pain. She wanted to sit on the ground to rest, but her butt was also sore. She had to sit on the ground sideways, appearing in a strange posture in the eyes of passers-by.

Lin Dai looked at the excited spirit beast in front of her with a bitter face, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I said, can't you slow down? I'm almost dying from the shaking. I almost vomited."

Unexpectedly, it roared a few times, turned around and ran back quickly, leaving Lin Dai sitting there alone.

Lin Dai murmured helplessly, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. I really am not in a hurry! There's no need to hurry. I really miss the last time I followed the peddler and walked slowly through the streets and alleys, enjoying the scenery along the way."

After a while, Lin Dai rubbed her butt, slowly stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked slowly towards the city gate.

The Youlan City has changed a lot nowadays. Walking on the street, Lin Dai looked at the surrounding environment curiously. It seemed to her that the development of this place had regressed, and it should be moving from luxury to simplicity.

Especially when she entered the Lange Inn again, although the inn had been expanded a lot and was still luxurious and exquisite, Lin Dai still felt that it had regressed compared to before. After all, the lighting tools in the room had become candles, there were fewer floral arrangements, and only the furniture in the superior rooms was the same as before. The furniture in the rooms that were added later was all made of wood.

Lin Dai couldn't help but sigh: "Everywhere is moving forward, it seems that only Youlan City is regressing. This is because the starting point was too high."

Because it was still early, Lin Dai wanted to go out and have a good look around Youlan City, which she hadn't had time to do the last time. When she left the room and prepared to go downstairs, she met two strange people, a man and a woman. Their clothes and figures were completely different from those here. They were walking upstairs.

Lin Dai stared at them curiously. When the two passed by her, they also glanced at her, and then walked into a room while talking. It was strange that Lin Dai could not hear what they were saying so closely.

Lin Dai stood there frowning. The way the two men looked at her just now made her very uncomfortable. They seemed to be looking down on her.

Could there be such a person in Youlan City?

Lin Dai came downstairs and pretended to ask the boss casually about the identities of the two people just now, but the boss said that the information of the guests could not be disclosed.

Lin Dai still found an excuse to continue asking: "Boss, I mainly saw that they were dressed very strangely, completely different from ours, and they looked quite good, so I asked out of curiosity."

The boss looked upstairs and nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, but I actually don't know who they are. They were brought here by a young girl. Because the girl had the city lord's jade token, we didn't ask any questions and just gave them two of the best rooms."

"Could it be that the girl holding the jade token is the city lord's daughter?"

"That's not the case. I know almost everyone in the City Lord's Mansion. I'm pretty sure that girl is not from the City Lord's Mansion, but she is very beautiful."

After hearing what the boss said, Lin Dai also looked upstairs. Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with these two people. But she didn't think much about it and continued to go shopping. Unfortunately, she didn't have much money, so she didn't buy anything. After a round of shopping, she returned to the inn.

The next day, before Lin Dai left the house, she heard a cheerful voice coming from outside the door: "Sister Rui, I'm here!"

Lin Dai quietly approached the door, wanting to check what was going on. After a while, another voice sounded: "Sister Xiaokui, you are here. Thank you for taking us around Youlan City today."

"Okay, leave it to me, let's go."

After they went downstairs, Lin Dai hurriedly opened the door and came to the stairs to look at the people below, her heart pounding with excitement. She didn't expect to hear the little girl's name a thousand years later. She didn't know if it was a coincidence, because Xiao Kui was now an adult, and whether there was any connection between the two.

And who are the other two people? What is their relationship with the little girl? From what they said, it was obvious that they were not from Youlan City, let alone from the village below.

After thinking it over again and again, Lin Dai decided to follow and see.

So Lin Dai carefully followed the three people, trying to keep a proper distance to avoid being discovered. Unexpectedly, this little girl Xiaokui was so energetic that she took the two of them running around everywhere.

Lin Dai followed behind in fear, afraid of being discovered by accident, and she found that the woman named Xiaokui looked too similar to the bumpy back of the little girl who bumped into her before, so perhaps they were the same person.

After a day of shopping, the three of them only had lunch at a big restaurant to fill their stomachs and rest for a while. The rest of the time they were shopping and didn't feel tired. Poor Lin Dai could only sit on a step outside and eat a bun to rest.

Finally it was evening, Xiao Kui said goodbye to the two and parted ways. They agreed to leave Youlan City tomorrow and go somewhere else to play.

Lin Dai decided to continue following Xiao Kui, wanting to see where she would go and perhaps find out her identity. She left the other two alone in the inn for the time being.

Following Xiaokui all the way, I found that the direction she was heading was actually behind the location of Youlan City. The farther away from Youlan City, the better the scenery around it was, and slowly snow appeared on the ground.

This made Lin Dai more and more curious.

As they walked, Xiaokui, who was jumping in front of them, suddenly turned into a child. Lin Dai stopped in surprise. It turned out that she was really the little girl before. She was still the same after so many years, so her identity was definitely not simple.

Lin Dai's expression gradually became solemn and a little happy at this moment. This should be considered as finding a clue.

Lin Dai continued to follow carefully.

At this time, in the secret realm of the polar region, a boundless world of ice and snow was covered in silver. The towering snow-capped mountains rose into the clouds, and the peaks were covered with white snow, shining with a holy and mysterious light. At the foot of the mountain, snowflakes fell lightly to the ground, like countless elves dancing in the air, adding a bit of agility and romance to this world of ice and snow.

On the top of a snowy mountain, a little boy in light blue clothes was practicing quietly, not feeling the cold at all. Suddenly, a white light flew out from the snowy mountain, landed steadily beside him, and a figure slowly emerged.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Kui is being lazy and running out to play again."

The visitor was none other than the spirit of the Bodhi tree, the little boy's grandfather.

The little boy heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes. He quickly stood up and said, "Grandpa, isn't Xiaokui in the cave? I've been practicing, so I don't know."

Grandpa's face was full of helplessness. He looked at Xiaoye and said earnestly: "Xiaoye, Xiaokui is too lively and active. If he doesn't practice seriously, what if he encounters danger in the future? Although you have a lot of spiritual power, it is still useless if you don't practice well."

Xiao Ye immediately said seriously: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will practice well and protect my sister well."

"Oh, forget it. Grandpa won't say anything. Go and bring your sister back. You just learned how to transform into an adult, but you're already running around. You're not familiar with it yet. If you accidentally reveal your true form, it will be dangerous for you to be eaten by a spirit beast."

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, we are the masters here, they dare not."

Grandpa stroked his beard and warned him: "Xiao Ye, although we are the masters here, you don't have the strength to make them all submit to you, so there are still many dangers in this secret place."

"Grandpa, I'll go find my sister now."

As he spoke, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the top of the mountain.

Outside the secret realm, Lin Dai was walking with the little girl, when suddenly she watched her disappear.
