Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2193: Chapter 245: Lici! Zongkun! Their Own Happy Lives

…

Looking at his utterly nervous and timid appearance, Wang Licui was even more puzzled: “I don’t even know you, why do you want to invite us to dinner?”

“Replying to, no, to the young lady.” Situ Xuejia said respectfully and politely, “As the saying goes, a chance meeting is a destiny. Why need acquaintance to invite you to a meal? I simply wish to make friends with you, young lady.”

“Great! I like straightforward friends like you.” Wang Licui happily patted him on the shoulder.

As a result, before she even applied any force, Situ Xuejia cried out “ouch” and was sent sprawling to the ground.

Wang Licui hurriedly helped the patron up, showing utmost concern, “Are you alright?”

She hadn’t expected his physique to be so poor. If one slap injured this straightforward friend, she’d feel terribly guilty.

“No worries, just a few broken bones. Young lady, your strength is indeed unparalleled,” Situ Xuejia gasped for breath, sweating all over, yet he still forced a smile.

“A few broken bones? Let me see.” Wang Licui said, managing his bones into place in a flurry, then took out a bottle of ointment from her storage ring and handed it to him, “Here’s some ointment. Apply it later, and I promise you’ll be full of energy in no time. From now on, you’re my friend, Wang Licui’s friend.”

She and Lan Wanyi traveled frequently, often getting injuries, so she was adept at this kind of thing.

“This humble one thanks you, young lady. Wang Licui? What a tasteful name the young lady has.” Situ Xuejia smiled broadly and hurriedly took the chance to settle the bill.

While settling the bill, he eagerly introduced himself: “This humble one’s name is Situ Xuejia, a direct disciple of the Flowing Sword Lineage of Yikang Academic Palace. My family, known as the third-grade Situ Family of Yikang…”

Wang Licui took out a small notebook to jot it down and warmly said, “You don’t need to keep saying ’this humble one’; we’re friends now. You can call me Lici, and I’ll call you Brother Xuejia.”

Situ Xuejia was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, as if injected with adrenaline: “Being friends with Miss Licui is a blessing from my countless lifetimes of cultivation.”

This meal had cost him his years of savings, but being able to make connections with the traveling daughter of the Si Family was worth it!

The Si Family, after all, was a sacred race of the Tianrui Saint Dynasty!

Even being able to establish the slightest connection was something he never dared dream of.

After chatting for a while longer, Situ Xuejia reluctantly parted ways with Wang Licui and others, giving Wang Licui a token from his family before leaving, repeatedly inviting her to visit Xinze Town again.

This was just a small episode. Although Wang Licui was touched by the warmth and hospitality of friends from this different world, she didn’t think much of it, merely considering herself lucky to have met good people.

Little did she realize, this was only the beginning.

As she, Lan Wanyi, and the Big Mouse began their travels in this alternate world, similar situations started occurring in rapid succession.

Unlike her arduous journey to the Immortal Dynasty before, here, everywhere she went, there were people desperately wanting to invite her to meals.

This “desperate” was no exaggeration… it was literal desperation!

Wang Licui witnessed several groups collectively challenging each other just for the opportunity to invite her to a meal and make friends with her.

Having been taught by her first master, Master Yunyang since childhood, Wang Licui naturally understood the importance of having many friends, equating to many pathways in life. Since so many people wanted to befriend her, why resort to fighting?

Naturally, Wang Licui intervened to stop the duels, suggesting a game of rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner, who would then have the priority to invite her to a meal and befriend her.

And while doing all this, Wang Licui was deeply moved in her heart.

This exotic charm was truly different; the people were exceedingly warm and hospitable!

She, Wang Licui, liked this place!

…

Around the same time.

Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty.

Immortal Palace.

The sea of clouds was ethereal, layers of clouds stretching endlessly.

An eleven-level Yuanshui Azure Dragon soared through the clouds, hovering above the plaza in front of the Ascending Immortal Gate.

In the sunlight, each scale on the dragon’s body, which extended dozens of feet long, shimmered with a greenish-blue light, as if carved from gemstones, and its immense form brought forth an overwhelming presence, astonishing from afar.

What was even more surprising was that behind this Yuanshui Azure Dragon, a seemingly low-key and simple flying carriage was being pulled.

The on-duty door guard was dumbfounded.

Which eminent figure has arrived at the Immortal Palace? An eleven-level Azure Dragon pulling a carriage, how grand is that!

The Yuanshui Azure Dragon was extremely fast, descending in front of the Ascending Immortal Gate within mere breaths.

As soon as the flying carriage stabilized, the Yuanshui Azure Dragon transformed into a spirited old man, who said loudly, “The Great Drought of Changning Wang’s Family Head has arrived. I kindly ask the door guard to relay this.”

Family Head?

The door guard’s heart skipped a beat.

He had been previously instructed to report immediately upon the Family Head’s arrival, and he quickly responded and was about to go report.

However, before he could move, a resonant male voice emanated from within the Immortal Palace: “Family Head, it’s good to finally have you here.”

With the end of his sentence.

A space ripple undulated, and the portly True Monarch Yuan Yuan stepped briskly out, appearing directly in front of the Ascending Immortal Gate.

“Shouzhe greets True Monarch.” Wang Shouzhe disembarked from the flying carriage and took the initiative to salute True Monarch Yuan Yuan.
