I'll do it!
Yu Xian hardened his heart and decided to go back and secretly release the Space Bubbles.
His memory was excellent; he remembered the route from the large pit to the Extreme Dragon's restricted area clearly.
This wasn't related to the Vampire; it was because his memory had been good since he was a child. Even without studying diligently, his grades usually remained above average.
He first returned to the previous large pit, and then flew towards the Extreme Dragon's restricted area.
Of course, this time he definitely didn't dare to enter the Extreme Dragon's restricted area. He planned to place a few bubbles on the periphery and then control them to slowly move towards the Extreme Dragon.
Half an hour later, Yu Xian returned to the edge of the restricted area.
It was really on the very edge.
From his position, he couldn't even see the lake where the Extreme Dragon resided, only layer upon layer of mountains. He estimated he'd have to go in a few thousand more meters to see that lake.
But this was enough; he truly didn't dare to get any closer.
"Begin!"
Yu Xian stretched out his hand, and tiny bubbles quickly condensed in his palm. Then, he manipulated these bubbles to rapidly move towards the Extreme Dragon's location.
Moving along the ground!
At first, he could still see the bubbles, but later he couldn't see them at all. He could only condense the seeds of the Red spider lily and put them into one of the bubbles.
After the Red spider lily bloomed, the petals scattered forward, and relying on his limited perception, he manipulated the Space Bubbles to move at an extremely slow speed.
He was very careful throughout the entire process, afraid of startling the Extreme Dragon in the water.
Fortunately, there were no mishaps in the end. The bubbles finally moved to a position very close to the lake water. When the petals of the Red spider lily touched the water, he immediately controlled all the petals of the Red spider lily to dissipate.
For the last stretch, he was completely controlling them blindly.
According to his calculations, the bubbles should have entered the water, and only then did he stop interfering with these bubbles.
Next, he rode a Space Bubble and flew to a high altitude, and then dropped a large number of tiny bubbles in the air. This was easier to control, and finally, all the bubbles stopped above the lake.
In the future, if he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, those who could fly would be teleported into the lake, and those who couldn't fly would be teleported into the air.
This way, even if the enemy could fly, they would have to face the Extreme Dragon as soon as they were teleported over. The probability is high that they wouldn't be able to escape even with wings. As for those who couldn't fly, it would be even more interesting. The enemy would fall from the air into the water. Such a large commotion should be enough to startle the Extreme Dragon.
Yu Xian was already starting to look forward to the scene when those enemies were teleported over and faced the Extreme Dragon in the future.
Hopefully, the enemies won't be too desperate!
He thought for a moment, and immediately created many more bubbles, placing them around the entire edge of the restricted area. Some were placed on the ground, blending with the dust and light, while others were placed in the air, accompanying the clouds.
After completing all the preparations, he turned and left.
...
...
Sleepless night.
Without any scares or dangers, Yu Xian flew another third of the journey.
During this time, he passed through Green City, Fruit City, and Cui City, and placed Space Bubbles in each of them.
In the future, if he wanted to go to these cities, he could arrive with just a thought, making travel back and forth very convenient.
It was a little past six in the morning.
He teleported back home, took a shower, and changed into his school uniform. Nora was already skipping and hopping to the door.
"Good morning!"
Yu Xian teleported to the front door, opened it, and said with a smile.
Nora seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today and replied with a smile, "Mhm, good morning."
The two of them walked to school together. Nora smiled happily from time to time, causing Yu Xian to keep looking at her. Nora didn't keep him in suspense and said with a smile, "My dad transferred Luo Qi away. The new guardian is a very easy-to-get-along-with big sister. She just took office last night, and we talked all night."
"Then congratulations, you'll have a lot more freedom now," Yu Xian said with a smile.
He wasn't actually surprised that Marcus would transfer Luo Qi away. After all, Luo Qi's behavior when he came to see him that night was already very strange. It was impossible for Marcus not to be suspicious of Luo Qi.
For example, would Luo Qi have improper thoughts about his daughter...
Yu Xian secretly scorned Luo Qi. Looking at the happy Nora, he felt a bit amused. When he flew to Ice City tonight, Nora would definitely be even happier tomorrow.
"Oh right, my mom heard that Luo Qi was transferred away, so she booked a flight for tonight. I'll be able to see my mom tomorrow. This time, there won't be any annoying people getting in the way," Nora continued happily.
Yu Xian's smile froze for a moment, then he gave a dry laugh and said, "You said... your mom is coming?"
"Mhm, the flight is tonight. She should arrive tomorrow," Nora nodded, her eyes full of anticipation, and her whole being exuded a joyful aura.
Yu Xian could only force a smile and say, "Then congratulations. Tomorrow is Saturday, so you can spend some good time with your mom."
This was a bit awkward now.
He had wanted to give Nora a surprise tomorrow, but now Nora's mom would arrive in Silver City first.
According to his original plan, he would prepare the Space Bubbles in Ice City tonight, then go find Nora tomorrow, and then use the Space Bubbles to teleport Nora to Ice City, and then they would go see Nora's mom together.
That scene, just thinking about it felt wonderful.
Who knew that plans couldn't keep up with changes? Because Luo Qi was transferred away, it triggered a chain reaction, and the whole plan went down the drain.
"What's wrong?" Nora saw that Yu Xian was a bit disappointed and asked.
Yu Xian forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I was just a bit tired last night. I'll be fine after I get to school and sleep for a bit."
The two of them arrived at school together. After entering the classroom, Nora happily shared her joy with Chen Ling. The two girls huddled together, whispering secrets.
Yu Xian didn't eavesdrop. He propped his face with one hand, thinking about whether he still needed to go to Ice City.
Although he couldn't give Nora a surprise, he was a bit hit, a bit disappointed and lost.
But after these two nights of travel, he had already fallen in love with the feeling of adventuring in the wilderness, of being unrestrained.
Once upon a time, roaming the world with a sword was just a dream. Now that the dream has become reality, what reason does he have to refuse?
After a frog in a well has seen how vast the sky is, who is willing to return to the bottom of the well and continue to look at the sky that is only as large as the well opening?
Furthermore, if he didn't go out and explore, he wouldn't have met the Dragon King Golden Toad, wouldn't have witnessed the power of the Extreme Dragon, and wouldn't have understood how wonderful and magnificent this world is.
"Indeed... Ice City, I'm going!"
Yu Xian took a deep breath, and he already had the answer in his heart.
Not just Ice City, but also Buddha City, Stone City, Lion City, Dragon City, Xiang City...
He would go to many, many, many more places in the future, see different customs and practices, taste the food in different cities, and meet more interesting people and things.
Moreover, since he wasn't in a hurry to go to Ice City now, he could completely stay in other cities for a longer period of time.
For example, on the way to Ice City, he would happen to pass through Yan Jing (Yanjing / Beijing). He could also visit Jin Sheng, and he could go to the headquarters to broaden his horizons, and incidentally hand over Zhong Wuliang's body to the Bat.
Without having to rush to give Nora a surprise, his time suddenly became more ample.
Yu Xian found that the result was actually not bad; at least he was more free.
