Let’s go back a few hours before Xi Xue was detained.

  The higher realm.

  "Wow……so this is the higher realm……" Bíng Huo gasped in shock the moment she stepped foot in the higher realm’s territory.

  The wide, vast realm filled with clouds and holy-like attributes, the higher realm looked like deity’s palace or maybe heaven.

  "Are you alright, though, Huo Huo? I heard that humans couldn’t step foot in the higher realm……" Xi Xue inspected Huo Huo with worried eyes. The man tried to detect any abnormalities in his wife’s body.

  "Uh……aside from feeling a bit heavy and suppressed, I’m fine. I think this feeling is because of the mythological beasts aura lingering around……" Bíng Huo patted Xi Xue’s cheek to calm the man.

  Indeed, she was a human, but now she’s a half-vampire. She could enter the higher realm, unlike ordinary humans. There were restrictions here so that humans without permission couldn’t enter the higher realm.

  "I see, so you’re fine. I’m glad!" Xi Xue sighed and patted his chest in relief. The guy then hugged Bíng Huo affectionately while guiding the girl to walk down the path to the kingdoms.

  The man forgot about his friends who were staring at his back with twitching lips.

  "We are going to the Long kingdom, the kingdom of the dragon race, yes?" Bíng Huo carefully asked as she used qinggong to move faster.

  The road so far looked smooth just like a silky cloud path.

  "Yes. You see those intersections? There are seven paths leading to different kingdoms." Xi Xue pointed at the colourful path in front of their eyes.

  Above the path, one could see an illusionary beast’s image, representing the race of the road’s owner.

  Each path had a different colour, and the path to the dragon race’s territory had golden as its colour.

  "Wow……these paths must be new, right? I read the history of the higher realm, and it’s said that these roads are here not too long ago." Bíng Huo’s eyes sparkled as they headed to the golden road surrounded by white clouds.

  The scene truly looked like heaven.

  "Yes, you know a lot about the higher realm, don’t you? These paths are made because of the dragon emperor’s suggestion. It’s so that the visitors won’t accidentally enter the wrong territory."

  Xi Xue started to boast about the emperor of the Dragon race, Long Ye Sí.

  "The roads are also made to make it easier for visitors to visit each race’s territory. The trade between the races is also held using these paths."

  Xi Xue kept explaining as they passed the dragon gate. The gate was made with a golden sculpture of a Chinese dragon coiling around the arc.

  Strangely, there’s no guard or whatsoever to check the visitors. This scene greatly confused Bíng Huo.

  "Why aren’t there any guards? I thought the dragon race is meticulous and very disciplined about their defence?" The girl kept running ahead, following the golden path.

  "Hm, there’s no need for guards to check the visitors’ identity. Once you pass the gate, the gate already automatically scan your body and send the information to the main guard tower."

  Xi Xue pointed at the towering stone tower not far from their place. No one knew the location of the tower, as one could only see the top hidden among the white clouds.

  Such majestic black tower with golden runic around it would be very eye-catching, yet no one knew the exact position.

  "That’s so cool." Bíng Huo couldn’t help but gasp in admiration. She didn’t think that the dragon race’s technology was already so advanced.

  A gate that can scan the visitors and gain their information? Doesn’t that mean the gate also measure the visitors’ strength and gauge their race or something?

  "Even humans don’t have this kind of technology. The dragons are really mighty……" Bíng Huo continued to praise the dragon’s might, not knowing that such a change happened thanks to the current young emperor.

  Of course, Long Ye Sí got all the knowledge from his mother, someone who came from another world.

  Even though his mother, Li Shi Ying, didn’t tell all things about her world, she still gave out a lot of knowledge heritages.

  "The dragon race is becoming more prosperous, thanks to the current emperor and his sister. You know, the two children I watch growing up!" Xi Xue didn’t waste his chance to boast, even when they already entered the golden barrier.

  Behind the barrier, laid the kingdom of the dragons.

  Bíng Huo didn’t have time to listen to Xi Xue’s ramblings as her view changed into that of a bustling market. Youngster, old people, children, men and women from all ages walked around the neatly organised market.

  "Selling herbs from the middle realm!"

  "Buy this beast’s meat, special from the forbidden forest!"

  "Come, come, check out these precious gems!"

  "Vegetables, fresh vegetables~ "

  "Cultivation pills are ready, only 5 batches, grab it fast!"

  The market was noisy. From the entrance to the endless end, Bíng Huo could only see a straight black stone path with stores and stalls on its left and right side.

  The citizens walked around the black path, packing the road with their numerous numbers. Not only the ground, but the sky was also bustling with people.

  There were floating stalls here and there, people riding small wyvern, there was even odd-looking transportation sending off people.

  It was a super weird view, different from the one in the lower realm. Usually, people would see the sight of cultivators riding their sword, fan, or anything mystical, but here……

  The place looked strangely unholy, not mystical, but it’s still magical.
