To be honest, the service from the Main God was quite good; they responded as soon as Xu Long asked a question.
But to Xu Long's surprise, Xu Jiao refused his search.
What exactly is going on?
Xu Long couldn't understand why Xu Jiao would reject him.
Although Xu Jiao refused, Haitang did not, and even urged him to hurry up.
As for that Rice Bucket, how could he possibly refuse?
The Haitang tree wasn't far from me, only about a hundred miles away.
Xu Long took a taxi and stopped in front of an elementary school.
With more than half an hour until school let out, Xu Long simply waited at the gate.
"Hey bro, here to pick your kid up from school?"
A guy next to him, probably bored out of his mind, offered Xu Long a cigarette and struck up a conversation.
"I've come to pick up my wife."
Xu Long took the cigarette and lit it. Noticing the other person's expression, he quickly added, "My wife is a teacher here."
Oh, I see!
The older brother nodded, relieved.
Then she started rambling on to Xu Long, praising his daughter in every way imaginable—how well-behaved and adorable she was, how she was number one in her studies, how obedient and sensible she was.
Looking at that smug expression, anyone who didn't know better would think his daughter was a fairy descended from heaven.
Ring ring!
Half an hour passed quickly, and the students finally finished class.
Xu Long stood at the door, his eyes searching among the teachers.
To be honest, the teachers at this elementary school are of very good quality.
Xu Long saw several beautiful girls who scored 80 points, and several male teachers who were also very handsome.
Xu Long didn't know what Haitang looked like now, so he could only wait for her to come to him.
The students filed out, prompting Xu Long to sigh in admiration.
Children these days are well-nourished; the boys are handsome and the girls are beautiful, like golden couples.
His friends were all incredibly ugly, each one more so than the last. And their ugliness was refreshingly unique, each with its own distinctive style.
"Hmm? This little girl is not bad!"
Xu Long's gaze fell upon a little girl with rosy lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and long, black hair that cascaded over her shoulders, swaying from side to side as she ran.
At first glance, you can tell she's a beauty in the making; she'll surely charm countless innocent young men when she grows up.
"Brother, my precious daughter is here, so I'm not talking to you anymore."
Upon seeing the little girl, the older brother's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly went to greet her.
Seeing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Xu Long's face.
A loving father and a filial daughter—what a wonderful family!
However, the next moment, something surprising happened to Xu Long.
The little girl completely ignored the older brother who was coming to greet her and rushed straight towards her.
"My husband!"
The little girl immediately hugged Xu Long's neck tightly, tears streaming down her large, watery eyes.
Big Brother: "???"
Xu Long: "???"
After hesitating for two seconds, Xu Long realized who the girl was, and he started cursing inwardly.
That's absolutely outrageous!
My wife's in elementary school? She'd probably get beaten to death!
Xu Long had Main God would give Haitang a career woman identity, or a martial arts instructor or dance teacher.
But to my utter surprise, it ended up in a primary school.
And not as a teacher, but as a student!
Xu Long felt as heavy-hearted as if he'd been screwed over, while his older brother next to him was truly furious.
My precious daughter, ignoring her kind old father, instead threw herself at a strange man, calling him "husband"?
Did they think an ancient woman had traveled to the modern era to find her husband?
Did they think their soul had possessed them in search of true love?
The older brother slapped Xu Long on the shoulder, trying to pull him away.
Unexpectedly, Xu Long was as solid as an iron tower, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge him an inch.
"Why!"
Xu Long sighed, feeling truly sorry for his older brother.
Using his telekinetic powers, he was guided back to his home by Haitang.
The house is over 100 square meters, and judging from the decoration and furnishings, the family is quite well-off.
Xu Long sat on the sofa, Haitang sat on his lap, and his older brother stood dumbfounded to the side, creating a rather awkward atmosphere.
What to do?
Xu Long, with his arm around Haitang, felt utterly overwhelmed.
Whether or not to take Haitang away, and what to do with Haitang's adoptive parents, left Xu Long in a dilemma.
"How about this?"
Haitang wrapped her arms around Xu Long's neck and then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "My parents died when I was very young, and I've never experienced parental love growing up at the Dragon Guardian Villa. Why don't you let me stay here? Anyway, I've lost all my powers now and can't help you anymore."
Hearing Haitang's words, Xu Long hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
This is probably the best solution. Rather than taking Haitang on adventures in a perilous mission world, it's better to let her experience the life of an ordinary person.
"If you miss me, come visit me more often."
Haitang rubbed her little face against Xu Long's chest, her tone full of reluctance.
"Don't worry, I'll buy a house here in a while."
Xu Long gently ruffled Haitang's dark hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.
With two beautiful wives, one unwilling to see him and the other reduced to a primary school student, Xu Long's mood was truly icy cold.
But this is good too, letting the two of them experience the life of ordinary people and avoid contact with violence and killing.
After cuddling with Haitang for a while, Xu Long immediately went to find Rice Bucket.
This guy was thrown into the Africa savanna, and somehow became the Lion King, hunting with a pride of lionesses every day.
When Xu Long arrived, it was lying on the ground, dozing off.
"Awoo!"
When the Rice Bucket saw Xu Long, it immediately ran over excitedly and stuck out its big tongue, trying to lick Xu Long's face.
"Shut up!"
Xu Long grabbed its tongue and shoved it back into his mouth.
"Let's go. Once we find the War Base, we can go home safely."
Xu Long said something, and then flew into the air with the Rice Bucket in his arms.
According to the information given by the Main God, the War Base crashed on a small island in Southeast Asia.
Although the Red Queen possesses ultra-long-distance communication technology, her physical body is merely a motherboard; all the advanced technological components are located on the War Base.
To retrace the path of Flame Hell Planet, the War Base must be reclaimed.
The satellites in the sky are all controlled by the Red Queen, so there's no need to worry about capturing his flight.
As for shots taken from the ground, it doesn't matter how you shoot them.
The space in the Main World is extremely rigid, making it very difficult to Instant Transmission.
However, it doesn't matter if you're flying; the speed hasn't decreased much.
After flying for more than two hours, Xu Long landed on an Wuming island.
This small island is less than an acre in size; to put it bluntly, it's just a small islet or reef that protrudes above the sea.
Upon arriving near the island, the Red Queen has made contact with the War Base.
There's no need to dive into the sea to search; the War Base will come to you on its own in no time.
