People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zi Yan nodded slightly and did not refuse. After all, in this ancient ruins, she was the only one who had the blood of the ancient Taixu dragon, and only she could develop the power of this dragon and phoenix origin fruit to the maximum extent.

Besides, she and Xiao Ling have a deep friendship, so there is no need to calculate too much.

What belongs to Xiao Ling belongs to her, Zi Yan, and what belongs to her, Zi Yan, naturally belongs to Xiao Ling.

When she truly becomes the Dragon Emperor of Ancient Dragon Island in the future, then Xiao Ling will be the son-in-law of the entire Ancient Dragon Island. At that time, Ancient Dragon Island will naturally obey Xiao Ling's orders.

The two of them will prosper together and suffer together.

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in front of her could greatly speed up her process of becoming the new Dragon Phoenix of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Looking at the dazzling Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, Zi Yan could already imagine the glorious scene when she would completely refine it, her bloodline would transform into that of the Supreme Dragon Emperor, her cultivation would be greatly improved, and she would become the new Taixu Ancient Dragon Emperor.

Thinking of this, Zi Yan felt happier and happier, and even her steps became lighter involuntarily.

Looking at Zi Yan's figure flying towards the stone platform, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle, and while laughing, he gently shook his head.

While chuckling, Xiao Ling inadvertently glanced at the void not far from his side, but this glance was very brief, as if it was just a casual act.

But soon, Xiao Ling retracted his gaze and looked in Zi Yan's direction again, his eyes firmly fixed on Zi Yan's figure.

However, the space that Xiao Ling's gaze swept through actually showed some extremely weak fluctuations that were barely noticeable.

As soon as the fluctuation appeared, it disappeared in a flash before anyone could notice it carefully. Then, the space quickly returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened. It was just an ordinary piece of void.

Zi Yan walked briskly towards the stone platform. She bit her finger without hesitation, letting the blood flow out, and then smeared the blood all over her hands.

After doing all this, she carefully reached out her hand and touched the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

The moment her little hand touched the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, the fruit suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling and strong light, which was so bright that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.

Then, unexpectedly, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit turned into a golden and purple liquid, slowly flowing in Zi Yan's small hands, and then as if it had its own consciousness, quietly penetrated into her body along her skin.

When the golden and purple liquid completely disappeared, a pattern suddenly appeared on the palm of Zi Yan's hand. Looking closely, it looked exactly like the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"The energy contained in this thing is too terrifying. I can only seal it in my body temporarily. When the time comes, I will have to ask the elders of the clan to help me deal with it..."

Zi Yan slowly withdrew her gaze from the back of her hand, then she looked in the direction of Xiao Ling again and spoke softly.

"Xiao Ling, this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is extremely important to our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I must rush back to the Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible to avoid any risks. From now on, it seems that I can't continue to stay with you. In fact, I don't really want to go back to Ancient Dragon Island so early, but the current situation does not allow me to continue to be willful."

"You are indeed right. It seems that you have grown a lot during your time on Ancient Dragon Island and have become a responsible person." Looking at Zi Yan who was walking towards him, Xiao Ling smiled softly, reached out and rubbed Zi Yan's little head, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he turned his gaze to the void that he had inadvertently noticed before, still with a smile on his face, and chuckled, "However, if you must take this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit back personally, perhaps it is not your turn to worry about it personally, don't you think so, senior from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan?"

As Xiao Ling finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, then with a doubtful look, she looked in the direction of Xiao Ling's gaze, and finally, her eyes fell on the empty space that looked extremely ordinary.

As if it couldn't bear the two people's direct gazes, or it noticed the change in the atmosphere, there was finally movement in that void, and ripples slowly spread out from that void.

“Haha, I didn’t expect that my hiding was discovered by a young man like you. Tsk tsk, it’s really not easy. The declining Xiao clan finally has a successor.”

As an old but powerful voice echoed from the void, a tall figure slowly walked out from the ripples in the void.

The man looked a little tired, and the traces of time had left some marks on his face. He was obviously quite old, but even so, he exuded an extremely powerful aura from head to toe. That aura spread out in all directions like a substance. At a glance, one could tell that he was no ordinary person, but a strong man with a profound background and an extraordinary past.

He was wearing a luxurious purple-gold robe. The robe was of excellent texture, as if it was carefully woven from the finest silk. It glowed with a soft and luxurious luster under the dim light.

On the brocade robe, there was a carefully embroidered purple dragon. The purple dragon had a nimble figure and lifelike dragon scales. It was circling and dancing, as if it would break through the robe and soar into the sky in the next moment. The dragon echoed his majestic and domineering aura, making the visitor look even more majestic.

When she saw the person's appearance clearly, Zi Yan's pupils widened slightly, her face full of disbelief, and her voice was full of surprise: "Zhu... Old man Zhuli, it's you! How come you are here?"

"Hehe, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." Zhu Li stood still, bowed slightly to Zi Yan, and then faced Zi Yan's look of disbelief, and explained with a smile,

"I just saw Her Highness Princess leave Ancient Dragon Island and was really worried about Her Highness's safety, so I followed her all the way, thinking about taking care of your safety. After all, you are the only royal bloodline in Ancient Dragon Island now, you must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will be blamed even if I die a thousand times."

Zi Yan frowned and muttered softly: "Old Zhu Li, you followed me all the way. Now when I think about it, I feel uncomfortable. I am not a child anymore. Why do I need you to watch me all the time?"

As she spoke, she snorted in dissatisfaction, but the sound was just loud enough for Zhu Li and Xiao Ling who were standing nearby to hear.

Even though she complained, Zi Yan knew in her heart that Zhu Li did this out of concern for her and fear that she might encounter danger outside. After all, she carried many expectations of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and was the only royal bloodline on Ancient Dragon Island.

So, after mumbling these few words, Zi Yan didn't say anything else. She just stood there with her lips slightly pouted, looking cute and a little tsundere.

Xiao Ling watched Zi Yan's expression and couldn't help but chuckle. He walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Well, Zi Yan, Senior Zhu Li is just concerned about you. Having such a Half-Saint Senior protecting you is a treatment that others can't even imagine."

Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ling, then looked at Zhu Li who was smiling, curled her lips and said:
"Well, that's fine, but old man Zhuli, you are not allowed to follow me secretly anymore. If you follow me next time, at least tell me in advance, otherwise I will never return to Ancient Dragon Island."

Seeing this, Zhu Li nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Your Highness, I have made a note of it. I will definitely inform you first next time."

After the three of them chatted for a while, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. However, after chatting for a few more sentences, the three of them also tacitly brought the topic back to the main topic.

"This Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is the first time I have seen it, Princess. Now that we can obtain this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, it is truly a great opportunity for our Ancient Dragon Clan. It is the foundation for our Ancient Dragon Clan's revival."

Zhu Li's eyes were filled with passion as he stared at Zi Yan intently. The fanatical look in his eyes was difficult to conceal, and his words were filled with excitement and anticipation.

"This matter is indeed of great importance. Princess, please take this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit back to the Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible. After returning, I will discuss this matter carefully with the First Elder and the Second Elder, and find the most appropriate time for you to take this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. In this way, your bloodline power will surely be able to reach a higher level, and the revival of our Ancient Dragon Clan will be just around the corner."

As Zhu Li spoke, he slightly clenched his fists, as if he had already seen the ancient dragon clan moving towards glory with the help of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. His entire mood was immersed in the vision of the future.

In fact, it is impossible to say that Zhu Li had never thought of snatching the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit directly from the beginning to the end, and then taking it for himself.

After all, the power contained in the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is too tempting. Once taken, one's own strength will definitely have a qualitative leap. Anyone facing such a treasure would probably find it difficult to remain calm.

However, such greed was only fleeting in Zhu Li's mind. He was fully aware of his responsibilities, had deep loyalty to the Dragon King, and had great expectations for the future development of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

With such a mentality, the distracting thoughts and greed hidden in the heart will naturally disappear like the morning mist illuminated by the sun.

After hearing what Zhu Li said, Zi Yan nodded in agreement. She knew very well that this matter was of great importance. No matter how playful she was in her daily life, she could not be careless in such an important matter. She was just about to nod in agreement.

But at this moment, Xiao Ling suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and a somewhat inappropriate voice came out: "Elder Zhuli, the matter of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is indeed of great importance, but now that you have appeared here, you can take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and Zi Yan can continue to stay with me."

After these words were spoken, Zhu Li and Zi Yan were both stunned. Zhu Li even frowned slightly. The admiration in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ling gradually faded, and was replaced by a look of doubt. There was even a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if he was examining the intention behind Xiao Ling's words.

Although Zi Yan was a little confused about what Xiao Ling said at first, after the initial confusion, she did not say anything to refute, but just looked at Xiao Ling quietly. She knew that Xiao Ling must have his own ideas when he said this, so she waited for him to continue, wanting to hear what exactly led him to make such a suggestion.

"My dear friend Xiao Ling, I understand that you and Her Royal Highness the Princess have a deep bond. Her Royal Highness the Princess was able to return to the Ancient Dragon Clan smoothly, thanks to your great help. In this regard, the Ancient Dragon Clan really owes you a big favor."

"But you must also understand that the matter of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is of utmost importance and concerns the future of our Ancient Dragon Clan. As a member of the royal family, Your Highness Princess shoulders a great responsibility and must follow me back to Ancient Dragon Island to discuss matters related to the use of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit with the First Elder and the Second Elder."

"So, I hope you can understand my difficulties and don't interfere. This matter concerns the interests of our tribe. I hope you can not let your personal feelings affect the important matters of our Ancient Dragon Clan."

Zhu Li looked at Xiao Ling. Although his tone was still polite, there was a sense of unquestionability in his words. There was also a firmness in his eyes. It was obvious that he would not give in easily on this matter.

"I'm sorry, Elder Zhuli, there is actually another hidden story behind this matter. I'm sorry I can't tell you directly."

Facing Zhu Li's oppressive gaze, Xiao Ling just smiled lightly, his tone still very calm and easygoing, as if he did not feel the pressure contained in that gaze, and then he said slowly,
"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit can be given to you to take back to the Ancient Dragon Clan for safekeeping. You can also discuss the follow-up matters with other Ancient Dragon Clan elders. However, I have to keep Zi Yan with me. I have to take her to a very important place later. In my opinion, the importance of this matter is even more important than letting Zi Yan take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit as soon as possible."

As the two finished their words, the scene suddenly fell into silence again. The environment, which was originally breezy, now became eerily quiet.

A faint, oppressive aura inexplicably emanated from the two of them. The aura spread silently, enveloping the space, as if even the air around them had solidified. (End of this chapter)
