From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The little snake responded with a smile.

Then···

The bull warrior mixes cement, the little snake repairs the wall, and Parker helps with the painting, effectively becoming Da Yu's personal cement craftsman.

"Are they the cement workers you hired?"

At this moment, Jiang Liu walked out from behind, fiddling with the Panku Box in his hand. When he saw Bull Warrior, Little Snake, and Parker, he raised an eyebrow. His eyelids twitched, especially when he saw that Bull Warrior was still wearing a mask. "America is indeed free and open, but won't the police mistake you for a robber if you're wearing a mask?"

Also, it's currently the height of summer—

Isn't he stuffy wearing a mask? Could it cause heatstroke? Maybe he should take it off...

Upon hearing the mask, the Bull Warrior seemed to have a switch flipped, stopping what he was doing, straightening his back, and proudly declaring, "The Bull Warrior never takes off his mask!"

"I don't understand, but I choose to respect you."

Jiang Liu nodded, continued fiddling with the Panku Treasure Box in his hand, and said to Da Yu, "Remember to buy this cement worker some cold drinks."

"Friends, we're not cement workers, we're just here to help capture the little demon dragon."

The little snake stopped laying bricks, approached the river, and asked with a smile, "Are you Chen Long's nephew?"

"No, I'm just staying here temporarily."

Jiang Liu shook his head, then turned to Da Yu, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Okay, okay."

Da Yu introduced the three men one by one, "The strong one wearing a mask is the Bull Warrior, from Mexico, a wrestler..."

"Bull Warrior is the strongest wrestler in the world!"

Parker added excitedly.

But Da Yu ignored her and pointed at the little snake, saying, "And this is the little snake, a former thief, now a female knight-errant, and also a police assistant and investigative consultant."

"Me! I'm still here!"

Parker blinked, hoping that Dayu would introduce him as well.

"Oh, right, and Parker, the Bull Warrior's tagalong and die-hard fan."

As she finished speaking, Da Yu leaned close to Jiang Liu's ear and deliberately lowered her voice, but just enough for Parker to hear, "It's best not to argue with him about who's better, because kids are always just being unreasonable."

Hey! I can hear you!

Parker blushed, but still shouted, "However, the strongest man in the world is definitely Bull Warrior! That's an indisputable fact! He's the best wrestler in the world! Even Chen Long wouldn't be a match for Bull Warrior!"

"Parker".

The bull warrior squatted down, held up a finger, and waved it in front of Parker, teaching him, "A true warrior must be humble and never belittle others, understand?"

"Understood, Bull Warrior!"

Parker's eyes lit up, and he quietly leaned close to Bull Warrior's ear and whispered, "But I know you're doing this to save face for Jade's sister, right? I understand, Bull Warrior."

"..."

Immediately, the Bull Warrior sighed, realizing that taking care of a child was indeed quite difficult.

The little snake, however, asked calmly, "You seem to know a lot about us? Has Xiaoyu told you about us? Because you're her older sister?"

"No, actually I am Xiaoyu."

Da Yu told the truth.

"What? That's impossible! How did you grow so big all of a sudden?"

The bull warrior stared in disbelief, scratching the mask on his head with one finger. "Could it be that she's entering puberty? That must be it, girls develop earlier than boys at this stage."

Parker complained, "This isn't fair! Why do girls grow faster than boys? I'm almost twelve!"

Snapped!

The little snake sighed, slightly speechless at the bull warrior and his lackey whose minds were filled with nothing but muscle. Pointing at Da Yu with both fingers, it bluntly stated, "Isn't the truth obvious? Da Yu must have used magic to grow this big!"

"Oh, magic." X2

The bull warrior suddenly realized.

Parker pleaded, "Jade, could you use the magic to help me grow too? That way I can become a wrestler as great as Bull Warrior!"

"No, children should just enjoy their childhood."

Da Yu flatly refused, then said to Jiang Liu, "In short, they were some capable people that I and Uncle Long encountered during the process of collecting talismans and sealing the seven great demons."

He is also a member of the Dragon Group.

By the way, I spearheaded the establishment of the Dragon Group, and after I became Sister Jade of the Heavenly Palace, the Dragon Group also became the Dragon Clan.

"The Dragon Group? That's a really nostalgic concept."

Jiang Liu clearly remembered that in the early urban fantasy novels of his previous life, official organizations were always named "Dragon Group"—

How can one not miss it?

"Hello, my name is Jiang Liu. I should be the new friend that Xiaoyu wants to introduce to you."

Jiang Liu shook hands with Bull Warrior and Little Snake, and even squatted down to shake hands with Parker. "However, before we capture the Demon Dragon, could you please do me a favor?"

Bull Warrior raised his head high: "It's my duty!"

Parker chimed in, "I'm sure I can help too!"

The little snake chuckled, "We were summoned by Xiaoyu to help you fight the demon, so don't be shy, just tell me, what's the matter?"

Then--

The bull warrior stirred the cement again, the little snake laid bricks in front of the hole in the wall again, and Parker picked up the trowel and cement knife again and began to apply and paint the wall.

"This is not quite what we imagined."

The little snake, while stacking bricks, glanced back at "Da Yu," who was leaning on Jiang Liu's shoulder and chatting and laughing with him, and its lips twitched slightly—

"Teacher, it seems we're on the same wavelength!" Da Yu chuckled as he looked at the three members of the Dragon Group who were diligently repairing the hole in the wall.

"Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to do some work."

Jiang Liu shrugged and said seriously, "Furthermore, regarding the spell to use the magic of the Panku Box to move the Gates of Hell on the natural innate Bagua acupoints, I already have an idea, but it requires eight units of demonic energy..."

# Chapter 827 Chen Long is a qualified patriarch

In the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

The wall has been repaired.

Xiaoyu appeared at the store entrance right on time—at the end of the 20th century, elementary school dismissal time in America was between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.

"Two little jades!"

Parker, who was playing chess with Bull Warrior, looked at Jade, who was about the same height as him, as she walked into the store, and then at Big Jade, who was meditating behind the counter. He covered his head and exclaimed, "I must be dreaming!"

"Of course not, Parker, both of you are me, except one is from the future."

Xiaoyu explained her relationship with Dayu in just one sentence, and stated that the future had been destroyed by the demon dragon. "The only way to save the future is to seize the present and strip the demon dragon of its demonic energy. That's why I've brought you here!"

"Even though I don't understand much, our goal is that fire-breathing lizardman, and we just need to beat him up, right? This time, I'm going to make him pay!"

The bull warrior stretched his limbs and said fiercely, "That guy has defiled the sacred wrestling arena!"

In this timeline, the Bull Warrior once wrestled with the Demon Dragon in the arena—

With the help of the Bull Charm, the Bull Warrior was initially on par with the Demon Dragon, but his speed and agility were inferior to the Demon Dragon's, resulting in him being toyed with by the Demon Dragon on the field.

As a time traveler, the demon dragon had been honing his martial arts skills for nearly a thousand years. With the blessing of the fire demon energy, he possessed a powerful physique and ultimately defeated the bull warrior who relied on the bull talisman on the arena.

However, the demon dragon didn't immediately remove the mask inlaid with runes. Instead, it forced the bull warrior to take it off himself, threatening Parker's life in the process...

"Relax, Bull Warrior, you will win. As long as we remove the fire demon energy from the Demon Dragon's body, you can have a fair and square duel with that yellow, green, and lewd lizardman."

Xiaoyu also had no liking for the demon dragon.

During the time she was searching for the talisman, the demon dragon used a spell to transform into a boy about her age, thus deceiving and gaining her trust...

If it weren't for the demon's greedy nature causing him to reveal his weakness in the face of a mastery of spells and magic, which his father noticed, she might have remained in the dark her whole life.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open again.

Chen Long returned from the museum, and as soon as he entered, he saw Bull Warrior, Parker, and Little Snake. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What are you doing here? And Little Snake! The female thief!"

“I’ve already reformed, you know? Also, I told you about the time when Shendu possessed Valon and stole the Panku Box, right?”

Little Snake was extremely unimpressed by Chen Long calling him a "flying thief." He took out an identification document from his waist and said, "See this? This time I brought evidence. I'm now a security consultant for the New York Police Department. Even Sheriff Black of the 13th District has been interested in recruiting me... Maybe we'll be colleagues in the future."

“I’m glad you’ve reformed, but we will absolutely not be colleagues! Impossible! I don’t work in District 13! I’m just a temporary consultant.”

Chen Long checked the snake's documents and confirmed they were genuine, not forged. His attitude softened somewhat, but he remained stern with the snake.

reason?

"Please leave, thank you. You'll corrupt Xiaoyu."

"is it?"

The little snake smirked, rested its elbow on Da Yu's shoulder, and chuckled, "But isn't the most direct influence on Xiao Yu from your uncle? Look, the future Xiao Yu has crossed time and space to come to the present."

"Aww~ Ah~"

Chen Long clutched his head, letting out a strange cry, trying to calm himself down, but he was speechless.

After all, what the little snake said was true!

"Uncle Long, you don't have to be so harsh on the little snake."

Jiang Liu stepped out from behind and comforted her, "As the saying goes, 'A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold.' Now that Sister Little Snake has returned to the right path, shouldn't we be happy?"

That's true, but...

Chen Long understood the big principles, but when the little snake tricked Xiao Yu with a fake snake talisman while he was searching for it, it still left a grudge in his heart.

Although they had cooperated once or twice afterward, which changed his attitude towards the snake somewhat, he still didn't want this former "female thief" to have too much contact with Xiaoyu, lest Xiaoyu pick up some of the female thief's old bad habits.

"Did you know? I was actually raised by a thief."
