Cloud and Earthly Affairs 1560

s deity when she has free time."He tossed the box onto the table, Lao Wangye's face contorted in distress: "Your Majesty Emperor, wouldn't bringing the records of the government office to the mortal r...The stone steps and landing outside the side door were still in ruins. I followed the slope down to the lake shore, and on a patch of ground that was slightly intact, I found an altar.

This is where I had the disciples of the Shen family place it. The Nine Heavens Dragon God can't easily manifest its holiness, hiding at the bottom of this lake.

This lake is basically the Shen family's "private lake," with no people around and very peaceful.

I took out superior incense from under the offering table and respectfully paid homage, and soon ripples appeared on the water surface.

A water ripple flew quickly from the indentation in the back mountain toward me.

It wasn't as imposing and awe-inspiring as the first time we met. The dragon hovered slightly above the water, its stern and piercing eyes fixed on me.

“I thought, I would request your help,” I bowed.

Shèn Lóng faintly said, "The hostility is overwhelming, it's time to leave. I've been waiting for you."

"How, how do I go" The passage opened by the mirage dragon... I shouldn't be able to pass through it, right

The mirage glared at me, as if I had asked a stupid question.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The icy wind cuts like a blade, and frost coats the ground.

The wind, carrying fine snowflakes, felt like sand mixed with ice shards, striking my face, making it impossible to tell if it was hot or cold.

I pulled my cloak's hood over my head, tucking my nose and mouth into the folds of the fabric. I shivered, clutching the dragon's horns tightly.

Dragons stride the heavens, piercing clouds and mist in the darkness. I look down at the faint lights below, my teeth chattering with nerves.

"Didn't the Northern Deity Emperor take you for a ride on the wind" The Serpent Dragon probably couldn't stand my cowardly look, and spoke to me in a low voice.

"Usually, he usually casts spells… The moment I walk through the spellcasting pathway, I get nervous. Let alone flying high in the sky like this."

How high is this place from the ground It's like standing on top of a mountain a thousand meters high, overlooking the clouds swirling below.

"Where is your home" asked the Shenlong.

On the road I could still find my way, but in the sky... I, I can't even tell which direction is which.

I squinted, searching for landmark buildings in the vast expanse of light on the ground. In the distance, I spotted the television tower.

"That way, farther north…"

The mirage dragon lowered its head to gaze at the vast and desolate city beneath it, murmuring in a low voice, "This city, the feng shui is not bad."

"Huh Is that so... I've never seen a city like this from above before." I also looked down at the city.

Southern cities, due to their many mountains and hills and crisscrossing waterways, are often not as grid-like and orderly as northern cities.

But after the new era, the South, due to its economic development, has faster urban construction and is also at the forefront of the nation. Therefore, it has more experience in urban planning.

Both roads and landmarks are essentially like veins and arteries. A city also has its own yin and yang, its own orientations of front and back.

My neighborhood is not brightly lit compared to other parts of the city, it's relatively dark. But just a few blocks away, there's a bustling red-light district.

Now, looking up at the sky, two blocks are clearly visible, one bright and bustling, the other dark and quiet.

The lake blends with the quiet streets, their waters reflecting the stillness; the business district stands in contrast, its frenetic opulence balanced by the simple hills of People's Park.

Indeed, those in higher positions pay more attention to the essence left behind by our ancestors.

Maybe some of us can also contribute our ideas and strength behind the scenes as cities are built all over the world

"Hey, what are you thinking about That's your home over there, right" The mirage interrupted my thoughts.

Even in a vast city, the distance felt smaller in the air. The energy above my small apartment building, clear and murky, repelled each other.

"There's a lake here where you can take shelter for a while. I'll be right back—just over there, I see my sister-in-law!" I exclaimed, as at the entrance of the district, I spotted a familiar figure.

Ethan!

Her tall and slender figure, I couldn't mistake it!

The mirage placed me by the lakeshore and transformed itself into a fragrant breeze that entered the water. The lake surface only rippled slightly before returning to its stillness.

"Yan Qin... Yan Qin!" I ran up from the green space in Lakefront Park, standing under a tree and anxiously calling her.

She had several bodyguards with her, and a few people who looked like they worked for the neighborhood office.

Lin Yanqin heard my voice and turned back in confusion. Seeing me standing behind a tree, she cried out, jumped up, and ran towards me, hugging me tightly!

"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao! I... Yun Fan went to chase Da Mao!" Her eyes were red.

"Hey hey hey, who are you! Why aren't you staying home! Why aren't you wearing a mask!" A police officer in uniform ran up to me quickly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qin swiftly retrieved a mask from her coat pocket and placed it on me.

I adjusted my nose bridge, and Yan Qin turned around, her demeanor calm as she said, “This is my family, my younger sister-in-law. She saw that I've been out for so long and came to find me. Is there a problem”

Those few civil servants seemed to know Yan Qin's identity and whispered, "It's good that it's someone we know. You should just go home and wait for the news first. Our leader said they will send someone to deliver your pass later."

"Pass" I tugged on Yan Qin's hand, asking in a low voice, "What are you doing"

“As you saw, things happened suddenly just now. Yun Fan rushed away in his car, and I don’t even know where he went! But if he's using a car, he needs a special pass. I had someone get an intra-city pass and sent the photo to Yun Fan's phone……But I'm worried he might drive out of the city onto the highway. I'm currently waiting for a cross-departmental pass so he can go anywhere.” Yan Qin whispered quickly.

I looked at her, her eyes were a little red, but she was still very calm.

"Yān Qìn, don't worry, I'm going to find my brother! My brother and Dà Máo will be fine!" I said, holding her shoulders.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanqin, the pampered young miss, suddenly felt her nose sour and tears welling up in her eyes.

But she quickly suppressed her emotions, washed her nose, and took off her watch, putting it on my wrist.

"Pry open the lid, there's a screen and a receiver inside. As long as it isn't interference from an extremely strong magnetic field, it can track within a two-kilometer radius. Yun Fan is too far away now, I can't see where he is..." Her voice trembled: "Xiao Qiao, if it were you, you would definitely find him, right"

I nodded. “Definitely, my brother and Da Mao will be fine. You should go back and take care of Er Mao, and keep your family calm. I brought someone to help, they're hiding in the lake and can protect you all.”

Lin Yanqin looked at me, pursed her lips and said: "Good... With you here, I feel a little more at ease... Xiao Qiao, if... if Damao has anything happen, you must bring Yunfan back—"

This is like the Roaring Gate outside the delivery room, deciding whether to keep the big one or the small one.

"Don't overthink it!" I hissed. "Nothing will happen, and even if something does—I'll bring both of them back safe and sound!"

At worst, I'll squander my cultivation and beg a young boy for a single immortal pill.

Lin Yanqin nodded heavily, rubbed her nose, and the emotions of her youngest daughter immediately subsided.

She turned and calmly said to the bodyguard leader, "Give our car to Mu Xia Qiao. Also, within three minutes, get her a pass."

"Yes."

Lin Yanqin's car was like an armored car disguised as a sedan. The door was so heavy~~ I slammed it twice before it closed properly.

Sitting in the driver's seat, I chanted a mantra silently, two gusts of Yin wind slithered in from the slightly open car window.

"Hee hee, little empress, we're here~~~"gon.Yinglong soared above the city gate, his dragon roar shaking the heavens and earth. This god had no worries here, acting unrestrainedly and freely changing the landscape as he pleased.She unfurled...
