Chapter 189 Just don't admit it!
"It's okay, Uncle," Long Xiaoxiao replied to the system after a moment's thought, her tone calm. "I won't be found out, I just won't admit it!"
Now it was the system's turn to be stunned. It pondered Long Xiaoxiao's words and found that they actually made some sense.
They always transformed very discreetly, so Rongming and the others would never be able to obtain concrete evidence to prove that Long Xiaoxiao in human form was the Azure Dragon God. Therefore, no matter how much Rongming and the others doubted, as long as Long Xiaoxiao remained calm and did not admit it, they would never dare to be certain of their conjecture.
Thinking this, the system breathed a sigh of relief.
His biggest worry was that if these humans discovered that Long Xiaoxiao was actually a five-year-old child, they would have wicked thoughts.
But seeing how majestic and immovable Xiao Xiao in her dragon form, the system felt a little relieved.
At this point, Rongming did indeed have some very strange and unbelievable speculations.
Could this little girl be related to the Azure Dragon God?
The Azure Dragon Goddess has stated that she is a female deity.
Could he be a descendant of the Azure Dragon God?
Or perhaps... it could be the Azure Dragon God?
Rongming's mind wandered, his thoughts drifting further and further away.
While they were still speculating, Yuan Wang, who had returned home, had a serious expression. Just then, You Ruyu came out and saw Yuan Wang being brought back. She also looked surprised.
"What happened?" You Ruyu quickened her pace and walked up to Yuan Wang, speaking softly.
They recognized the car that had just come in; it belonged to government officials.
Yuan Wang looked around, shook his head, and led You Ruyu into his house.
Even so, Yuan Wang was still uneasy, as if he were afraid of being bugged, and asked softly, "Where do Xiaoxiao's parents live again?"
"Huh?" You Ruyu was stunned.
How could they possibly recognize Long Xiaoxiao's parents?
However, when she met Yuan Wang's gaze, You Ruyu immediately understood and shook her head innocently, saying, "I don't know. Didn't they just leave Xiaoxiao here and not care about her?"
“Yes.” Yuan Wang nodded, his eyes showing a hint of agreement. Then he continued slowly, “Xiao Xiao’s parents were the same. I had just registered Xiao Xiao’s household registration a few days ago when I sent her home. Do you remember? I was almost scared to death when I woke up that day and couldn’t find Xiao Xiao.”
You Ruyu knew that Long Xiaoxiao's identity was probably on the verge of collapse, so she echoed Yuan Wang's words to cover it up: "That's right, I remember Xiaoxiao also said that her parents weren't very nice to her?"
“Mm.” Yuan Wang nodded.
The two then spoke a few more words in a vague and ambiguous manner in order to confuse the issue.
In fact, the officers who were worried did want to install a bug on Yuan Wang, but after hesitating for a while, they did not do so. Instead, they had someone investigate the people around Yuan Wang, and the investigation led them to You Ruyu.
They recognized You Ruyu. Before Long Xiaoxiao spoke out about the cross-river bridge incident, they had all gone through You Ruyu's information. Now that they saw that she was also related to Long Xiaoxiao, they found it even more suspicious.
Regardless, they all hoped to find Long Xiaoxiao.
They relayed this message to Yuan Wang, only to receive a helpless shrug from him: "The way you're talking... it's like I can just find Xiao Xiao whenever I want. I don't even know where her parents are right now."
Seeing that Yuan Wang remained calm and composed, no one knew whether she was lying or not, and they decided not to pursue the matter further.
While Yuan Wang was still nervously covering for Long Xiaoxiao, Long Xiaoxiao was enjoying herself immensely, basking in the sun and smelling the flowers in the garden, chatting casually with the system.
"Uncle, how long do you think it will take before I can go back?" Long Xiaoxiao asked with longing.
Ultimately, she was just a guest here, with no sense of belonging. Children always need to return to their parents to truly find their home.
She misses her parents.
The system glanced at its faith points. It was getting closer and closer to its goal, but the closer it got, the slower the increase became. Moreover, the system felt uneasy, as if things weren't going to go so smoothly.
He didn't tell Long Xiaoxiao about this idea. He could see that Long Xiaoxiao missed her family, so he just comforted her, "It will be soon. You'll be able to go back soon. When you can't take your merit points with you, I'll help you exchange them all for items to take back with you."
Little Xiao nodded obediently, and after a few seconds of silence, suddenly asked, "Uncle, you've helped me so much, what reward will you give me?"
The system found the question somewhat amusing, and it quipped, "What, are you going to reward me?"
Long Xiaoxiao wasn't joking. She said seriously, "Uncle, if you like these points, you can take them! You've helped me so much, I can't give you anything in return."
These words deeply moved the system, and its previously cold heart seemed to tremble, causing the host to heat up.
"It's alright, do you think I'd be short of your points?" The system said nonchalantly, but after glancing at its own personal points balance, it silently added in its mind: I really am short.
However, he wouldn't show weakness in front of Long Xiaoxiao. He said proudly, "I've led countless hosts. Every time I complete a mission, headquarters rewards me with a lot of points. Don't worry about me."
Seeing that the system's tone didn't seem fake, Long Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved and didn't mention the points again.
Because the time-space fugitives haven't been causing trouble lately, Long Xiaoxiao and the system are somewhat relaxed. They don't expect to be able to arrest these fugitives for headquarters with their own strength. The system's idea is to let headquarters take the opportunity to enter the world to eliminate and arrest them when they are about to leave after completing their mission.
As for the legendary reinforcement sent by headquarters, he had long been forgotten by the system.
With billions of people in the world, asking him and Long Xiaoxiao to search the entire globe for one person? That's simply a pipe dream!
After thinking it over, the system decided it would be better to let the so-called reinforcements find a way to go to them. Long Xiaoxiao is so big, it would definitely be more convenient for them than to let Long Xiaoxiao go to him.
With that in mind, the system felt justified in giving up and slacking off along with Long Xiaoxiao.
In fact, in some unknown corner, the reinforcements who had been sent there looked at the vast desert around them, their lips twitching, wishing they could roar to the sky and rush back to headquarters to give their boss three hard slaps.
I knew it was random teleportation, but who knew it would be this random! Where did all this come from?! Where's his old colleague, System 0027? Where's his old colleague's child host? Where did they all go?!
