Zhongli naturally didn't want to see the young man leave again after such a long separation (actually they had only been separated for a few days).

After all, Shen Qianluo was able to go to Inazuma alone yesterday, and to Xumi alone today, so tomorrow, maybe he will go to Fontaine and Nata alone...

He will always be left behind, or protected.

After being officially confirmed as the young master of Sky Island, the boy no longer deliberately concealed many things, but he would not take the initiative to confide them either.

For example, the story of Shen Qianqiao, the story of Shen Qianqiao and Kaedehara Manye, and his own past and plans.

On the contrary, subtle changes have occurred in many other aspects.

"You once told me that if we try our best, we may be able to break through the layers of rock and abyss." Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the majestic and layered landforms, Shen Qianluo just looked on and was able to see the tragic traces left by the battle between Zhongli and Ruota.

He couldn't help but feel distressed.

Since he left, Longlong has gone through many hardships, suffered many injuries, and witnessed many farewells...

So he rubbed Longlong, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Actually, I can do it too. I'm stronger than Longlong. From now on, I will protect Longlong."

Zhongli looked down at him, but~, closed his eyes.

He couldn't help but take a step back, the other person's arm was around his waist, and Shen Qianluo greeted him.

The two of you come and go.

After a long while, Zhongli raised his hand and stroked the corner of the boy's mouth, his breath fluctuating slightly: "In the past years of war, you and I agreed that I would protect you. Although I have stepped down from the throne, don't forget that the power and the agreement are still there."

"I know that A-li values ​​contracts." Shen Qianluo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then do you know what power the great young master has?"

While Zhongli was thinking for a moment, he raised the corner of his mouth and answered his own question, "--Give or take away the power of God."

"So, A-Li, you can't make me unhappy. If the young master is not in a good mood..." He opened one eye and said in a half-threatening, half-teasing tone, "I will give Longlong many, many strange powers."

Zhongli smiled silently: "The prerequisite for granting human power to others is that you yourself are able to master such abilities."

Shen Qianluo also lowered his eyes and chuckled, and he became visibly proud: "Swords, spears, sticks, swords, eighteen kinds of martial arts, eighteen kinds of weapons, main attack, secondary attack, support, control and even treatment, I am proficient in everything. Ah Li should have heard of my name on Sky Island."

Zhongli's eyes followed the boy's swaying aho-hair as he walked around. He raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke in an extremely doting tone, "The most terrifying martial arts database in the sky, the most prestigious senior instructor among the three thousand gods?"

Then he saw Shen Qianluo turned around with a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "He is the most powerful god in the sky - a god who is more despicable than the law of nature."

“Qianluo…” Xiao, who had come all the way to see Shen Qianluo off, met Li Luo’s affectionate (?) gaze for a second, “…Sorry, both of you continue.”

After a lot of arguing, Shen Qianluo left home and embarked on the journey to Xumi.

His own Longlong was always staring at him eagerly, but even before he left, even though he had talked a lot of nonsense about Xiao, saying, "During my absence, I still have enough to eat and wear. If I don't have Mora, I must remember to ask the Emperor for it. He is the one who is in charge of the family. He can support Longlong, so just put it on his account." Shen Qianluo still...

He was never asked if he wanted to travel with him.

In an instant, I recalled that group of Venti, Tartaglia, Maple Leaf, Nibelungen, Orobas, and even Xiao who was staring at the boy's back in a daze...

Zhongli's aura became subtle.

How could there be so many people or gods who covet Shen Qianluo without anyone noticing?

What made Long Fafa even more infuriating was that this was only the list he knew about.

He didn't want to be protected by the boy forever, didn't want to see him drifting away and facing crises alone, and didn't want to watch him excitedly run to Xumi and cause new and old friends to become emotionally attached...

Zhongli sighed very lightly.

He did not return the Longlong pillow to Shen Qianluo, even though the boy had asked him about the whereabouts of the pillow. Perhaps his purpose was to...

·

Setting foot on the land of Xumi again, Shen Qianluo felt quite relaxed.

Walking through the long mine tunnel and among the dense forests, the air is filled with the freshness of vegetation. Grass leaves and mushrooms sway in the wind, streams gurgle, and the scenery is full of greenery.

Even though it was incompatible with the fire element of his origin, the young master did not dislike the grass element. He was very adept at practicing the grass element, and when he was in the deep forest, he felt that even his meridians and soul were stretched out.

He threw a piece of flaming candy into his mouth, enjoying the fiery sweetness, and headed towards a certain place with a clear goal.

The only pity is that there is no soft dragon pillow in my arms...

There were hurried footsteps coming from deep in the mine behind me.

After a moment of shock, the young man turned around and said, "Xiao? What…"

The next second after his hesitant gazes met with the young immortal's, Shen Qianluo noticed something and his gaze suddenly moved slightly downwards, landing on a cute dragon lying softly in the other's arms. His eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"As expected, Longlong is a hypocrite. But after a moment, he couldn't bear it anymore and returned the pillow to me?"

"This is... actually..." Xiao's body was extremely stiff, and he felt very uncomfortable holding the dragon. He seemed to be hesitant to say something, until he saw with his own eyes that the young man happily took the dragon into his arms and rubbed it happily, "Be careful..."

He continued to hesitate to speak, his weak voice almost buried in the affectionate words between Shen Qianluo and Longlong.

The young man then noticed Xiao's abnormality: "Why are you and I still so reserved? Just ask Brother Luo."

Xiao was silent. He looked at Longlong, who was hiding in the boy's arms with only his dragon horns exposed, and then looked at the boy's gentle eyes. He looked away, his cheeks flushed, and he said for a long time: "...Nothing."

Shen Qianluo:?

What kind of reaction is this?

"Did A-Li tell you something? Or does the bird itself have something to say to me?" Holding Longlong tightly, Shen Qianluo curiously moved closer step by step. He stared at Xiao, and for one second he froze, for two seconds he stepped back, and for three seconds he was at a loss, his hair stood on end, his earlobes turned red, and he dodged in panic. He was amazed for a moment.

"This is the latest model of pillow that the Emperor has improved. He asked me to tell you that the improved pillow will be different from the previous one... If you see it in the future, don't be too surprised."

"An improved pillow?" He lowered his head upon hearing that. Shen Qianluo then lifted Longlong from his arms and looked at him curiously.

Still with the soft dragon body, small dragon horns, and fluffy tail, when the whole thing was lifted in the air, it looked much longer like a chinchilla. Even its tail was hanging in the air, it looked at him with its small eyes, tilted its head and raised the melon seeds, acting cute and harmless.

——It’s actually a moving smart pillow!!

"What a cute Longlong!" Seeing this, his waist and legs no longer felt sore, and Shen Qianluo, whose heart was touched by the cute Longlong, was filled with joy. He directly took possession of Longlong, hugged him in his arms, and pinched his extremely realistic dragon claws.

The pads were soft and warm, and the sharp claws expanded and contracted as he squeezed them. Longlong hung obediently in his arms, his tail dangling in the air, and allowed himself to be ravaged without any resistance.

He also rubbed the boy's chin, as if expressing his affection.

Shen Qianluo was almost melted by this kind of Longlong.

"...Qian...Long...actually he is..." With an expression that he couldn't bear to look at directly on his face, and looking almost uneasy, Xiao, after wanting to say something but stopping himself countless times, finally held his forehead and sighed deeply, as if he wanted to run away.

Shen Qianluo finally realized the abnormality of the situation. He raised his head from the soft dragon and blinked: "A-Li only asked you to come to me? Why did he disappear? I won't blame him for hiding the pillow for improvement..."

Xiao was rarely at a loss for words: "The Emperor... the Emperor improved the pillow overnight... he is already tired, so he will go back to rest first."

He saw the young man's doubts fade away, and then he snorted in dissatisfaction: "Why didn't he look so tired just now? I guess he doesn't even want to see me, and even sent you to run errands... Humph, since he has no sincerity, I will just favor Longlong."

As he spoke, the bird saw Shen Qianluo happily holding Longlong in his arms again, muttering bad things about Zhongli to him. He also saw Longlong happily hanging on Shen Qianluo, with his soft dragon tail quietly wrapped around the boy's waist, purring obediently.

"Qianluo, are you short of... a bird?"

"What? Bird?"

“…Nothing.” Xiao finally looked away, and whispered to himself, “Lord Emperor, what you did…well, there must be some deep meaning…”
