The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 951 Dragon King Legend

The night was cool, and the autumn wind swept in, rustling the leaves outside.

The room was filled with the mingled scents of roses and orchids.

Ever since Long Fei and Lin Yingying got married, Wang Xiaoya had intentionally distanced herself from him.

When the two embraced each other again, their emotions were stirred up, each more passionate than the other.

The next morning when she woke up, Wang Xiaoya felt ache all over her bones.

She stealthily opened one eye, saw Long Fei sleeping soundly, and then crept out of bed cautiously.

In the bathroom, she slapped her cheeks while looking in the mirror, muttering, "The worst has already happened. Just accept reality!"

By the time Long Fei woke up, Wang Xiaoya had already prepared breakfast.

Toasted bread with milk, fried eggs—simple, but Wang Xiaoya made it look exquisite.

She even fried the eggs into heart shapes and arranged them in the plate, making them especially appetizing.

"Are we going to Guanzhong today?"

Wang Xiaoya spread tomato sauce on Long Fei’s bread, tucked the fried egg inside, and added some small greens.

Her cheeks were rosy, a stark contrast from yesterday’s demeanor, looking every bit the domesticated housewife.

Long Fei took a bite and smiled, "Yes, the sooner we go, the less danger your mother will face."

Wang Xiaoya voiced her concern, "Do you think she might be in mortal danger?"

Long Fei shook his head, "No way, your mother has a cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm and is above the laws of this world. She’s probably trapped by something, but she shouldn’t be in danger."

Wang Xiaoya nodded, slightly relieved.

She reminded Long Fei, "You haven’t met my mother. She has a very strong personality and probably won’t agree to our marriage. Becoming someone’s wife isn’t traditionally done by a Mystic Yin Sect’s Saintess."

"So, do you want to marry me?"

Long Fei smiled as he asked her.

"Nonsense!"

Wang Xiaoya pouted, staring at him, "Let me tell you, you’ve taken advantage of me, and you can’t escape me in this lifetime. Even if I have to be the other woman, I will cling to you, and you can’t shake me off."

Long Fei laughed loudly, "Alright, as long as you stand firm. Even if your mother has a heart of iron, as long as I’m sincere, I can definitely move her."

"Well, it’s up to you then!"

Wang Xiaoya intuitively felt that this wouldn’t be easy, but she didn’t want to worry about it anymore.

After eating, Long Fei booked three plane tickets online.

Wang Xiaoya glanced at it and curiously asked, "Why three? Is Yingying going too?"

Long Fei shook his head and explained, "Not Yingying. I have a friend whose father went missing in Guanzhong years ago. Since we’re heading there, we could help her look for her father as well."

Wang Xiaoya took a bite of her apple and furrowed her brow, "A girl, right?"

Long Fei turned around and smiled, "How did you know?"

Wang Xiaoya scoffed, "Do I need to guess? You’re quite popular now, many girls admire you."

Long Fei pinched her cheek and said, "Alright, you’re smart. Although there are many girls, my heart is fully occupied by you and Yingying. You think I got a good deal?"

"You’re always playing cute after gaining the advantage, be content!"

Wang Xiaoya pushed away his hand and giggled as she sat down on the couch.

Long Fei contacted Liuu Ruyan, planning to pick her up from school and then head to Guanzhong together.

To his surprise, when she answered the phone, she told Long Fei that she was already in Guanzhong.

Long Fei was startled and asked her to send him the address.

He finally understood why Liuu Ruyan insisted on cultivation—it was because she wanted to find her father.

That girl had only just opened her governor and conception vessels and didn’t cultivate any techniques—a real worry for everyone.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaoya raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened?"

Long Fei cancelled an air ticket and closed his computer, saying, "That girl went to Guanzhong by herself. We need to get over there quickly, before she gets into more trouble."

Seeing his anxious expression, Wang Xiaoya stopped joking around.

She went to the cloakroom and changed into a sports T-shirt and shorts, donned a baseball cap, and shouldered a military-green outdoor backpack, looking like she was gearing up for camping.

The two of them went to the airport and managed to catch the midday flight.

Guanzhong wasn’t far from Binhai City and was located in North Yangtze. A flip over the Taihang Mountains from the sky and you’d arrive.

In that world, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya had only ever been to Guanzhong once.

But the vastness of that place was truly jaw-dropping.

Back in this world, all mountains seemed like small mounds by comparison.

Guanzhong, touted as the ancient capital of sixteen dynasties.

It was said that if you randomly dug a spade in the ground there, you could uncover an ancient tomb.

This place was a major hotspot for trading in cultural relics, having long since formed a complete underground market.

Every day, a large number of relic dealers came from various places—Liuu Ruyan’s father was one of them.

Following the address given by Liuu Ruyan, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya arrived at the place and retrieved an Audi Q5 from the storage ring, then drove over to her location.

She had told Long Fei that her father had disappeared while following a person from Guanzhong into the Yellow River to excavate something.

To be precise, this river was called the Jing River, considered a "grandson" of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River has a main tributary called the Wei River, and the Wei River in turn has a major tributary called the Jing River.

The well-known concept of "the clear distinction between Jing and Wei" refers to the confluence of Jing River and Wei River.

Liuu Ruyan was headed to a place called Dragon-Headed Town, located north of Xijing City.

Due to severe soil erosion, the area was full of ravines carved by flooding water.

This area preserved a complete Northwestern cultural outlook; as autumn arrived, though Binhai City remained lush green, the trees here had already shed their leaves, presenting a stark desolate view from afar.

The people’s skin was generally dry. The young dressed fashionably, while older people still wrapped white towels around their heads.

As they passed a hill, they saw an old shepherd throwing his whip around while belting out a folk song, "On that small ridge opposite, who is that? It’s my famous younger sister; as you stand on your ridge and I am in the valley below, if you see a brother you like, let him know..."

Wang Xiaoya observed this scene with curiosity. Having grown up in Binhai City, she had never seen such sights.

In that world, she had seen the landscapes of Guanzhong which were thriving with forests.

Apart from towns inhabited by people, the area was covered with dense forests.

But here, the mountains were bare, devoid of any trace of vitality.

The road to the town was rough, with several sections being just dirt tracks.

Wang Xiaoya rolled up the car window and asked Long Fei curiously, "Why is this town called Dragon-Headed Town? Is it because it looks like a dragon’s head?"

"You know, if you asked Baidu more often, you’d know everything," Long Fei replied, having just read about it on his phone on the way.

Wang Xiaoya was comfortable, spending the journey sleeping and daydreaming.

She looked at Long Fei and chuckled, "That’s why I have you. Tell me about it."

Long Fei explained, "Dragon-Headed Town isn’t named because it looks like a dragon’s head, but rather it’s related to a Tang Dynasty legend. This legend is mentioned in ’Journey to the West,’ which you should have read. It says that there was once a Dragon King in the Jing River who, due to a conflict with a fortune teller, secretly altered the rainfall amounts, thereby violating divine laws. He was about to be executed by the Jade Emperor when he went to the fortune teller for help. The fortune teller advised him to seek help from Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, predicting that the Prime Minister Wei Zheng, a subordinate of Li Shimin, would oversee the Dragon King’s execution. After much turmoil, the unfortunate Dragon King was still executed. His head fell from the sky and landed on what is now known as Dragon-Headed Town, thereby lending the place its fame."
