I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 615: Yan Hongxia Returns

After spending a wonderful weekend in the present, Lu Zheng traveled back to the past, took Liu Qingyan out for lunch, and originally planned to pick up Lin Wan after work for dinner, but upon crossing over, found out she was on a business trip.

Well, the prepared wolf meat hot pot will have to wait for next time. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

In the following days, Lu Zheng fell into another cycle of idleness, where he could only rest and cultivate, finding himself quite bored.

The large wolf leg, aside from the dozens of pounds Lu Zheng cut off to take back to the present and store in the fridge, was all preserved as dried meat in ancient times, cut into pieces to improve meals, and it tasted remarkably good.

Then, time flew by quickly, and soon it was April, the season for spring outings and flower viewing.

What can one do on typical spring days like these? Naturally, Lu Zheng entered into diligent labor.

Flower viewing by day, flower viewing by night.

...

One day during the break, Du Yueyao returned to Yizhou Prefecture to visit her parents, while Lu Zheng took his family for an outing to Peach Blossom Plain.

As Lu Zheng was at Peach Blossom Plain, accompanied by two beautiful women on either side and two little girls following behind, happily enjoying the flower viewing and frolicking, two beams of light suddenly descended from the sky.

As the light dissipated, two figures appeared.

The first figure wore a neat and trim red dress, not tall but charming and delicate, yet possessing an extraordinary career or presence, with a fierce aura of sword Qi.

The other was dressed in a white embroidered dress with water patterns, a form-fitting light blue fish-scale armor, tall and majestically spirited.

"Yan Hongxia?"

"Little Sister Hongxia?"

The first figure, of course, was Yan Hongxia.

Lu Zheng had only mentioned Yan Hongxia during a recent telling of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and unexpectedly, she appeared so quickly before them, even more surprisingly flying over!

Lu Zheng's pupils shrank, and Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were thoroughly shocked.

"Sister Shen! Qingyan! Qingquan! And Brother Lu!" Yan Hongxia smiled brightly, showing obvious joy at seeing familiar friends.

"I'm back!"

"It's good to have you back." Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying hurried forward to grab Yan Hongxia, not concerned about her cultivation, but instead looking relaxed.

"The year before last, Lu Lang returned, saying he ran into you delivering a letter to the East Sea, promising to return soon to reunite with us. We waited left and right, expecting you back within a year, but you never came, we worried to death." Liu Qingyan expressed her concern with her eyes full of worry.

Shen Ying also looked happy, "Now that you're back, you won't be in a hurry to leave soon, will you? Stay a few more days, Lu Lang recently hunted a Thousand-Year-old Great Demon, wolf meat hot pot is delicious."

Yan Hongxia smiled awkwardly and repeatedly nodded, "Some unexpected events occurred; I accidentally stayed by the East Sea for over two years, it wasn't intentional, but I did gain some fortune."

"Right, right, let me introduce you, this is... "

Yan Hongxia turned around, just as she was about to introduce the woman who came with her, she saw the woman having a big-eye-small-eye staring contest with Ao Qian.

"Ao Qian!?"

"Sister Ao Qi!?"

"What are you doing here!?" Ao Qi exclaimed with shock and skepticism.

"What are you doing here!?" Ao Qian's tone was shock mixed with panic.

Ao Qian, "..."

Ao Qi, "..."

Yan Hongxia blinked, looking bewildered, "Do you know each other?"

Ao Qi glared at Ao Qian again, then turned to Lu Zheng and the others, cupped her hands and said, "Cyan Dragon Aoqi, greetings to fellow Daoists."

One of the Four Great Dragon Races, from the Cyan Dragon Race!

Judging by her interactions with Ao Qian, could she be yet another Dragon Race Princess?

"Lu Zheng of White Cloud Temple, greetings to fellow Daoist!"

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying also stepped forward to greet her, then Shen Ying said, "It's almost noon, why not return to Taohua Village for lunch and talk while we eat?"

Yan Hongxia nodded repeatedly, "Certainly!"

...

Taohua Village.

After sending Xiaocui to prepare the meal, Shen Ying ushered Yan Hongxia and Ao Qi into the front hall. After Tao Zhen served tea, they began recounting their experiences.

Consequently, Lu Zheng and the others learned about Yan Hongxia's uneventful experiences over the past two years.

Yes, uneventful, quite uneventful.

The year before last, before New Year's, as Yan Hongxia was traveling and upholding justice, she rescued a girl, who after hearing tales of Yan Hongxia's travels, requested her to deliver a letter while she headed towards the east.

So Yan Hongxia agreed and headed towards the East Sea, encountering Lu Zheng along the way, which led to the Ghost Manor's Treasure Mirror incident.

After parting ways with Lu Zheng, she hurried on her journey to reach the girl's hometown—Wanghai Dao—and delivered the girl's letter to her family.

After dealing with that matter, Yan Hongxia considered that since she'd come all the way to Wanghai Dao on the easternmost coast, why not go out to sea for a look, so she rented a boat and set sail.

Then, she encountered dense fog on the sea, accidentally hit a trap laid by a Black Flood Dragon for Ao Qi, ensnaring Ao Qi's dragon power with the Dragon Imprisonment Array, planning to kill her for refining dragon blood to purify her lineage.

Thereupon, Yan Hongxia broke the Dragon Imprisonment Array, released Ao Qi, and together they slew the Black Flood Dragon, extracting its tendons and peeling its skin.

Afterward, Ao Qi took Yan Hongxia to the Cyan Dragon Race.

Ao Qi is a Commandery Princess of the Cyan Dragon Race; although her father isn't the clan leader, he's a Dragon Race elder who highly values Ao Qi, his daughter born in old age, and to express gratitude, gifted Yan Hongxia with a very precious item.

An Ancient Sword Immortal's Sword Pill!

Consequently, for the following year and eleven months, Yan Hongxia spent in closed-door training.

She fused the Ancient Sword Immortal's Sword Pill with her own, and infused the overflowing Sword Qi into her body, enhancing her cultivation.

Two years passed, Yan Hongxia completely merged the two Sword Pills, and after leaving seclusion, she discovered she had nearly eight hundred years of Dao practice.

Overnight fortune!

For a while thereafter, accompanied by Ao Qi, she toured the East Sea, then decided to return to the mainland.

During this time, Ao Qi and Yan Hongxia developed a strong friendship and Ao Qi, never having explored the mainland before, grew curious from hearing Yan Hongxia's tales, so after gaining her father's permission, she returned with Yan Hongxia.

"So that's how it is..."

Then Lu Zheng also shared how he rescued the little princess Ao Qian last year.

Thus, Ao Qian's identity as a Jade Dragon Race little princess was revealed.

Liu Qingquan: (⊙o⊙)

Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden: (ง˙o˙)ว

...

"So, the Demon Dragon has been dealt with by Ao Jin Clan Leader?" Ao Qi asked.

"Supposedly so," Lu Zheng replied.

"Then why haven't you returned?" Ao Qi turned her gaze towards Ao Qian, then to Lu Zheng.

Ao Qian stood her ground defiantly, "Who knows if the Demon Dragon is truly dealt with? What if there's something lurking in hiding? I think I should stay outside for a few more years, wait until it's completely safe before I return home."

Ao Qi blinked and raised her eyebrows, "Did you tell your father this?"

Ao Qian shrunk her neck; of course she hadn't.

Then, Ao Qian ran over to Ao Qi, pitifully grabbed her arm and pleaded as she swayed, "Sister Ao Qi, please don't tell my dad I'm here, okay? I beg you!"
