There were a lot of things that Bíng Huo had never seen before, like people sitting inside a floating box. The box then dropped people off to a designed bus stop.

The citizens here all looked like humans, but they had dragon parts on their body. Some had horns. Others had skin with scales or a tail behind their back.

"This...." Bíng Huo was speechless. Her eyes couldn’t move from the sight of the market in front of her and the strange things in the sky.

"Welcome to the Long Kingdom, the proud kingdom of the dragon race!" Xi Xue patted his chest as he looked at the sight with a gleeful smile.

He looked as if he was one of the dragons even though he wasn’t.

"How is it? Shocked? Isn’t this place wonderful?" Xi Xue asked as he coiled his arm around Bíng Huo’s waist.

The girl only saw the biggest market in the kingdom for now, and she hadn’t even seen the citizens’ house complex or other fun places like the school, the mall, etc.

Mall? Yep, there was even a concept of a shopping mall here!

"I...I didn’t expect the dragon kingdom to be like this..." Bíng Huo couldn’t close her jaw as she looked at the surroundings. All this time, for all her life, she had never seen such a weird market!

"Well, actually, only the dragon kingdom has things like this. If you go to the other kingdoms, it will be similar to those you saw in the lower realm." Xi Xue rubbed his nose as he slowly pulled Bíng Huo to the air.

Right now, they needed to take the box-like vehicle to go to the palace.

Why not fly? Of course, to maintain the sky traffic. It’s funny how cultivators and dragons didn’t fly like they’re supposed to be and instead, rode a vehicle.

"Let’s save your amazement for later. Right now, we need to go to the palace." Xi Xue lifted Bíng Huo and dashed to the bus stop along with his friends.

The group took the largest box and was instantly transported to the palace, the building at the centre of the kingdom, the core of the circle-shaped domain.

"That’s...the royal palace?" Bíng Huo looked down at the sight of a foreign castle. It wasn’t like the traditional ancient Chinese building, but more like the westerners.

But...

All around the world, there’s no such thing! The design looked out of the world; it’s like something foreign.

"Are you surprised? It’s a western castle. We take the technology from the other world that invaded us a long time ago." Xi Xue looked down at the castle from the transparent box he was riding.

The castle looked like the princess castle in Disneyland.

Of course, it would look weird and unacceptable for the others, but the citizens of the kingdom had long been used to it.

They managed to absorb the western culture brought by the monsters and invaders of another world after the great war several hundred years ago!

In fact, not only monsters were brought here through the dimension hole. Even ordinary citizens and other creatures came here as well. Now that the hole was closed, there’s no foreign life in the realm, but their artefact and knowledge stayed behind.

"This...I don’t know what to say. The dragon race is truly wonderful..." Bíng Huo lost words to describe the dragon race’s rapid growth.

Because the main dimension hole opened inside the dragon’s territory, they should be the one taking the most damage back then. But they managed to recover and even absorbed the knowledge and power of another world!

"But if the dragons are this strong...won’t the balance of the seven mythological beast races get disturbed?" Bíng Huo couldn’t help but ask as they descended down from the box.

The box then slowly left their group to carry more passengers.

"Hm, it’s okay. There’s a pact between the seven races that they won’t wage war for eternity. The mythological beasts are now living in harmony." Xi Xue waved his hand as they stopped in front of the enormous golden gate of the palace.

"We are here. This is the royal palace and the place where the dragon royalties reside." Xi Xue gulped as he explained this. The young man had left the kingdom for a few months. Thus, he didn’t know if he’s still welcomed here. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ．𝚌ｏ𝚖

"Em, guys, can you help me with this?" Xi Xue immediately turned around to the sacred beasts behind him. Just looking at the tightly closed gate, he didn’t think he would be allowed to go in.

The gate was no ordinary gate, after all. It didn’t need any guard to open the gate. The gate would automatically open for the visitors acknowledged by the palace’s administrator.

"Huhu, you think you are no longer quality to enter, hm?" Mian Xiang giggled as she ridiculed Xi Xue.

Indeed, Xi Xue left the kingdom without an official agreement from the emperor. In short, he decided things on his own and...

Ran away.

"Ugh, big sis Mian, please help me, ah..." Xi Xue pleased as he glanced at Bíng Huo. He instantly felt the urge to tore down the gate.

I can’t let Bíng Huo see my shady side! What if I’m not allowed to enter the palace anymore after I run away??

"Hmm, don’t worry. You are still an essential member of the palace, so– " Mian Xiang hadn’t finished her words when suddenly, five royal guards flew above their head.

"There, black hair, red eyes. The traitor! His Majesty ordered us to capture him!"

....traitor??
