Chapter 26: Chapter 24 This is the Instinct Code from Deep in the Genes!

The corpses on the ground signify the conclusion of the matter.

Lin Qianxuan knew from the game that many complex issues followed.

For example, the matter here in Chao Li Country would be exposed, causing quite a stir.

Even if he didn’t take the initiative to call the Xuan Country embassy, soon, Nie Yidong, representing the transcendent organization of Xuan Country, would arrive in Chao Li Country by special plane to escort him back to Xuan Country.

His movements were too conspicuous to hide, as clear as seen by satellites in the sky.

Moreover, due to a huge internal mishap, Chao Li Country would be inspected, initiating a cleansing from top to bottom.

Of course, those things didn’t have much to do with Lin Qianxuan.

He just knew that all the trouble was over now.

Lin Qianxuan exhaled a breath of stale air, held Chen Long’Er’s hand, and said, “Let’s go, no one will stop us from going home anymore.”

“Mm.” Chen Long’Er nodded.

At the broken glass of the building, Lin Qianxuan’s thoughts moved, condensing the water vapor into mist around him and Chen Long’Er, lifting them naturally into the air.

Soon, they were above the city.

It was nearing three in the morning; most of the city was dark.

Only a few places were still lit.

Yet many buildings looked quite charming under the moonlight.

When they arrived, they couldn’t calm down to appreciate the scenery.

Now, they could take a good look.

Lin Qianxuan deliberately controlled the speed of the cloud mist, allowing them to progress slowly.

The day’s experience felt richer than those of his previous twenty-five years.

From an ordinary person, he became able to command the elements and experienced such battles.

And the most absurd thing is, all this was just for a love incidentally.

Lin Qianxuan turned his head, and Chen Long’Er seemed aware, looking at him.

“Worth it.” Lin Qianxuan said.

Even if it was just for her, it was worth it.

“What?” Chen Long’Er asked curiously.

Lin Qianxuan smiled, moved his head closer, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, face to face, feeling each other’s breath and temperature.

Chen Long’Er did not dodge, just slightly closed her eyes.

The cloud mist they were riding suddenly became dense, covering everything around, blocking the outside world from seeing any scene within.

About the word love, Lin Qianxuan didn’t quite understand.

He actually felt this word was a bit false.

Between different genders, it often starts with physical attraction, then if there’s a bit of contract spirit, they become committed to each other.

Without the spirit of the contract, they put on pants and deny the association.

Respecting the contract, having a sense of responsibility, Lin Qianxuan called this love.

Clearly, that’s the kind of person he was.

Therefore, he could say those three words without hesitation.

“Long’Er, I love you.” Lin Qianxuan said.

Then he effortlessly broke through the defenses.

Dragon Heart’s blessing was comprehensive.

The same thin Dragon Scale wasn’t impenetrable.

At least now, he could easily penetrate, capturing the core effortlessly; Lin Qianxuan thought his past self, though exceptionally talented, wouldn’t achieve this.

Chen Long’Er groaned, clutching Lin Qianxuan’s back desperately, yet her sharp claws didn’t leave scratches on his tough back.

Lin Qianxuan had never dated anyone nor experienced these things, only seen similar occurrences in certain “educational” works.

Instinctively, he was both curious and longing but didn’t give it much importance.

Until this moment, he finally understood why many heroes ultimately succumbed to beauty.

No, this wasn’t lust.

This was instinctive code from the depths of genes.

This was a foreshadowing written at the inception of the first life underwater.

This was the primal drive inside the body of vertebrate animals.

This was Earth’s curve.

This was eternal energy.

This was love driven by life’s core!

Indeed, love exists, and now he was convinced the word had its unique meaning.

The battle lasted almost two hours in the air before it ended.

However, it wasn’t because Lin Qianxuan couldn’t control the cloud mist; that was an instinct of his bloodline, consuming little.

Lin Qianxuan himself didn’t even feel a lack of energy.

The Dragon Bloodline seemingly reinforced that aspect, along with Dragon Heart’s boost, enhancing his spirit even further.

The one struggling was Chen Long’Er.

Her bloodline development wasn’t as high as Lin Qianxuan’s, and despite her extraordinary body, she felt a bit exhausted.

Lin Qianxuan summoned water to cleanse their bodies, then they dressed again.

At dawn, Lin Qianxuan first went to Dragon Head River Park to retrieve the phone he had hidden before he jumped, then returned to the residence on Purple Flower Street with Chen Long’Er.

Though the hotel facilities were better, Chen Long’Er seemed to prefer this place.

This place had more of a lived-in feel, and it was where they spent most of their time.

Lin Qianxuan bought breakfast, purchasing meals for twenty people in one go.

He was truly hungry now.

Chen Long’Er wasn’t much better off.

The two ate quickly.

After gaining the Dragon Bloodline, Lin Qianxuan noticed his appetite became immense, and his digestion was astonishing.

The food that entered his stomach was quickly digested and transformed into energy to modify himself.

He clearly felt his muscles and bones starting to grow again.

Out of twenty portions of food, Lin Qianxuan ate twelve, barely feeling half full.

Chen Long’Er ate eight portions and was completely full.

This situation was not what Lin Qianxuan had expected.

He thought he would become a food abyss, requiring a cow’s worth of food daily to maintain his powerful body.

But it turns out his food intake only increased significantly, not to an exaggerated extent.

In fact, the reason he still felt hungry after eating so much was due to his intense activities earlier.

No, not referring to the battles with those battleships, as that fight didn’t consume much.

Primarily, it was the fight with Chen Long’Er that seemed to drain some energy, perhaps due to the expulsion of Essence?

“Isn’t that violating the law of energy conservation?” Lin Qianxuan wondered aloud.

His Spiritual Attribute wasn’t weak now, so he closed his eyes slightly to perceive himself carefully.

Lin Qianxuan then realized that although part of his energy was derived from food, another portion was absorbed directly from the air.

To be more precise, energy was obtained from the moisture in the air and naturally transformed within his body to sustain his activities.

Did dragons really grow by drinking water alone, without eating anything?

Is this how those legendary dragons could hibernate for hundreds or thousands of years, sustaining themselves through this method?

Lin Qianxuan drank a few sips of water and found that it satisfied him more than eating a meal.

Just one glass of water felt more effective than four or five portions of food.

This was partly because the food itself contained water.

Is this what the Dragon Bloodline entails? Enduring, fighting, outputting, a tank warrior, a remote mage, as quick as an assassin in reaction and speed and capable of large-scale attacks, with strong control power, yet low consumption, the mechanics are simply maxed out.

Is this like playing a game, Earth OL’s designer? How would it not be overpowered?

Turns out I’m the one playing?

Then it’s no problem!

Lin Qianxuan glanced at Chen Long’Er, noticing she also had some ability to absorb energy from moisture.

However, her ability wasn’t as developed yet, unable to survive solely on water like a True Dragon, she still needed to eat.

Currently, she was more of an intermediary between human and dragon.

Whereas, Lin Qianxuan had already transformed into a young dragon.

Yes, a young dragon!

Lin Qianxuan could distinctly sense a large untapped potential deep within his bloodline.

Counting it this way, he was indeed still a young dragon.

His bloodline continuously remodeled and strengthened him every moment.

He had no idea how powerful he would become once fully matured.

Even now it was terrifying; by then, would he really be able to stir up oceans?

After the meal, Lin Qianxuan sent a message to Flash People Studio, deciding he would still act alone today.

Afterwards, he suggested taking Chen Long’Er for a shopping stroll.

Chen Long’Er gladly agreed.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t make her wear any disguising cloak, instead taking her through the streets in her half-dragon form, and he also transformed into a half-dragon form.

Whenever someone was curious, he casually said it was cosplaying.

Many people along the way complimented their amazing makeup skills.

By the way, Lin Qianxuan had practically mastered the Chao Li Country language now.

It wasn’t hard to learn; watching a teaching video at sixteen-times speed was enough.

Even he was impressed by his memory and learning abilities.

Honestly, if he wanted to do scientific research, he’d probably be good at that, too.

But instead of utilizing his outstanding wisdom, he preferred using his legendary strength.

When Master Xuanzang journeyed west for scriptures, explaining Great Vehicle Buddhism wasn’t easily understood. Yet when he displayed his martial arts, the believers understood what compassion truly meant.

Many things on the street seemed novel to Chen Long’Er, yet when Lin Qianxuan tried to buy them for her, she mostly refused, only accepting small items he assured her were inexpensive.

She understood the difficulty of earning money and didn’t want Lin Qianxuan to squander it.

She even secretly calculated how many meals each purchased item could translate into when Lin Qianxuan was shopping.

Seeing this issue, Lin Qianxuan decisively reported lower prices for the items.

But Chen Long’Er wasn’t weak in observing expressions and perceiving emotions, immediately realizing Lin Qianxuan was deceiving her.

“This outfit is quite expensive, isn’t it?” Chen Long’Er pointed at her clothes.

“It’s okay, I have some capability, and in Chao Li Country, money from Xuan Country is valuable; it’s not as expensive as you think,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Long’Er silently nodded.

She didn’t reject Lin Qianxuan’s goodwill, fearing it would upset him.

Yet when Lin Qianxuan intended to buy her two more clothes, she held his hand and said, “Let’s leave it at that, that’s enough, we can talk about it later.”

“Alright,” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

He also felt that the clothes here were slightly behind in fashion.

With his first girlfriend, Lin Qianxuan always wanted to do everything within his power.

Meanwhile, Chen Long’Er thought about their future together, believing money should be saved.

This was a case of a mutual pursuit from both sides.

The two didn’t manage to shop for an entire day; in fact, after only half a day, the local authority of Xugu City had located them.

The person was a chubby middle-aged man in a formal suit.

His car parked by the roadside, and with his bodyguards accompanying him, approached Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er, who were sipping drinks by the street.

Lin Qianxuan had seen him in the game and knew he was Li Zhijian, the mayor of Xugu City.

Li Zhijian bowed his head, bent his waist, and with a big smile, spoke in awkward Mystic Text, “Hello, Mr. Lin, let me introduce myself. I’m the mayor of Xugu City in Chao Li Country. So pleased you could visit Chao Li Country to explore…..”
