Chapter 1086: Someone Arrives
Translator: 549690339
Xia Ping ‘an flew out of the secret realm. However, there was a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the scenery in the secret realm had completely disappeared. Xia Ping’ an had already appeared in an unfamiliar mountain wilderness. Around him was an endless stretch of mountains and forests. Below his feet was a huge canyon. Strange rocks were everywhere in the canyon, and the river was surging. Waves were everywhere, and fog was rolling. From time to time, the cries of strange birds echoed in the canyon, making the place seem exceptionally quiet. Between the canyon and the mountain ridge, white fog surged and spread to the mountains on both sides along with the wind in the canyon.
This place was located in the northwest of the Heavenly Wolf Region in the Spirit Wilderness Mystic Realm. It was a no man’s land in the Spirit Wilderness Mystic Realm. There was no one in the surrounding 100,000 kilometers. There was not even a place name for the big canyon and the surrounding mountains. Only the clan leader of the Dragon Rearing Family, Dragon Rearing Startled Dragon, knew that the Dragon Rearing Cicada was cultivating here.
In the valley, a black dragon-headed flying boat that was more than two hundred meters long was already parked there. The dragon-headed flying boat had the clan mark of the Dragon Rearing Clan on it.
Seeing Xia Pingan appear from the Mystery Land, the three people on the flying boat quickly flew towards Xia Pingan. Among the three people, one looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. His face was somewhat similar to Xia Pingan’s. He had two mustaches and had a shrewd and mature temperament. The other two, one male and one female, looked like they were in their twenties, about the same age as Xia Pingan. Of course, for the descendants of the ancient gods who had cultivated successfully, their real age was not the same. Some people might have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but they still looked like they were eighteen or nineteen years old. Some people only lived for two or three hundred years, but they looked like old people.
“Dragon Rearing Star greets Childe…” The middle-aged man who flew over bowed to Xia Pingan before speaking to him.
Dragon Rearing Star was one of the four great housekeepers of the Dragon Rearing Family. From the perspective of blood relations, Dragon Rearing Star was the brother of Dragon Rearing Cicada’s father and also the sixth uncle of Dragon Rearing Cicada. However, Dragon Rearing Star’s cultivation base had only just reached the Demigod Realm and was far inferior to Dragon Rearing Cicada’s. Therefore, when Dragon Rearing Star saw Xia Ping ‘an, they took the initiative to greet him and did not dare to show the face of a family elder. This was the rule of the ancient god family. Moreover, Dragon Rearing Cicada had a strange and cold temper and was ruthless when it attacked. Many people from the Dragon Rearing Family were actually a little afraid of Dragon Rearing Cicada. If it wasn’t for Patriarch Dragon Rearing Star sending Dragon Rearing Cicada back to Heavenly Square City, Dragon Rearing Star wouldn’t have come.

He didn’t dare to be negligent, especially when Dragon Rearing Star sensed that Dragon Rearing Cicada’s aura had become even more unfathomable after not seeing it for a few years. Its cultivation seemed to have improved, which made Dragon Rearing Star even more cautious.
“Greetings, cousin…” After Dragon Rearing Star bowed to Xia Pingan, the two young men and women who had flown over with him spoke together. They bowed to Xia Pingan with smiles on their faces. Their attitudes were affectionate and not as formal as those on Dragon Rearing Star.
This young man and woman were the same generation as Dragon Rearing Cicada in the Dragon Rearing Family. The man was called Rearing Dragon Ruofeng, and the woman was called Rearing Dragon Zi. As an illegitimate child, Dragon Rearing Cicada had experienced many hardships at home. Not only did Rearing Dragon Ruofeng and Rearing Dragon Zi not bully and look down on Dragon Rearing Cicada like their peers in other Dragon Rearing Families, but they also protected Dragon Rearing Cicada in every way. It was one of the few warm memories that Dragon Rearing Cicada had when he was young. Therefore, this time, they were also arranged by Dragon Rearing Jinghong to bring Dragon Rearing Cicada back to Heavenly Square City.
Xia Ping ‘an didn’t even look at Dragon Rearing Star. He only glanced at Rearing Dragon Ruofeng and Rearing Dragon Purple. His expression softened slightly, and he grunted in acknowledgment. However, he still spoke in a cold and mocking tone towards Rearing Dragon Ruofeng.” I haven’t seen you for many years, and your cultivation progress is too slow. The last time I saw you, you had just advanced to general level. After so many years, why did you only advance two levels and only reach level 75? Have you spent all these years eating nothing…”
When Dragon Rearing Ruofeng heard Xia Ping ‘an’s words, not only did he not get angry, he even smiled. He even scratched his head and smiled foolishly.” My improvement is already considered fast among my peers, but I can’t compare to you, cousin. On the way back this time, I still have some cultivation questions that I want to ask you!”
” You should figure out the problems below the Supreme God Realm yourself. Don’t waste my time. I’m not your nanny. If your own talent and hard work are not enough to rely on, how can you rely on others? It’s a curse and not a blessing to rely on the guidance of others to improve your cultivation. It’s better to be an ordinary person.”Xia Ping ‘an said coldly,
Dragon Rearing Ruofeng smiled and said nothing more.
Those who were familiar with Dragon Rearing Cicada in Dragon Rearing Clan knew that Dragon Rearing Cicada had this kind of temper. It could look you in the eye and talk to you like this, mocking you with a few words. It could be considered that it thought highly of you. If it was anyone else, Dragon Rearing Cicada wouldn’t even look at them. For example, in front of Dragon Rearing Cicada, Dragon Rearing Star was like an invisible person even though he was the sixth uncle of Dragon Rearing Cicada. If it wasn’t for Dragon Rearing Ruofeng and Dragon Rearing Zi, only he could understand how awkward Dragon Rearing Star would be.
“Over these years, our clan has collected some blueprints of rare mechanical puppets. Sixth uncle has already brought them here. They’re on the airboat. Cousin will definitely like them.”Long Rearing Zi smiled and changed the topic.” If cousin makes anything good, remember to give me one first!”
Dragon Rearing Purple Man had a sweet voice and a gentle temperament. When he smiled, he had two small dimples on his face, which was especially easy to win people’s favor.
Dragon Rearing Cicada’s greatest hobby was mechanical puppets. This hobby was something he had since he was young, and everyone in Dragon Rearing Clan knew about it. However, no one cared about it in the past. Now, Dragon Rearing Cicada’s attainments in mechanical puppets were unfathomable, and Dragon Rearing Clan could only curry favor with him in these areas.
Dragon Rearing Star finally found an opportunity to speak, and a fawning smile appeared on his face.” Cough cough, the flying boat has already prepared a puppet workshop for Young Master. If Young Master needs any special materials, feel free to tell me!”
“Yes!” Xia Pingan nodded and didn’t say anything. He flew toward the flying boat.
The three people from Dragon Rearing Family looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. They hurriedly followed.
When Xia Ping ‘an landed on the flying boat, the neatly dressed guards and servants of the Dragon Rearing family had already stood in two rows on the deck. They all lowered their heads and saluted him in unison.” Welcome aboard, Young Master!””
Xia Ping ‘an walked straight into the flying boat and glanced at Dragon Rearing Star.” Bring me to the puppet workshop!””
“Cousin, let me bring you there!” Rearing Dragon Zi quickly volunteered to lead the way.
“The airboat changed its course and returned to Heavenly Square City! “After arriving on the flying boat, Dragon Rearing Star faced the guards and servants of Dragon Rearing Family, and the imposing aura of a superior immediately gushed out from his body as he gave the order.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, sir!” The people on the airboat immediately got busy and returned to their posts.
In the flying boat, Long Rearing personally brought Xia Ping ‘an to the highest level of the boat. The entire top level of the flying boat, which was tens of thousands of square meters, had been specially arranged and was extremely luxurious. It was only for Xia Ping’ an to live alone while the others lived on the lower level.
Moreover, Xia Pingan’s room was connected to a puppet workshop that was the favorite of mechanical puppeteers. The puppet workshop had a smelting furnace, a multi-armed metal workbench, a caterpillar assembly line, a runic rubbing machine, and all sorts of auxiliary tools and machinery. It looked like a toy factory, but in the eyes of those who knew the industry, these things were all of the highest quality.
On the workshop’s workbench, where the blueprints were placed, there were dozens of egg-shaped crystals of different colors. These egg-shaped crystals were actually the storage of the favorite blueprints of the puppeteers.
“Cousin, how is it? Are you satisfied here?”Rearing Dragon Zi asked.
Xia Ping ‘an glanced at Rearing Dragon Zi, and all sorts of memories of how he had known his cousin for so many years flashed through his mind. He only nodded slightly and asked Rearing Dragon Zi a question in a cold tone,” Does Clansmen Hall still want you to marry the Mo family?”
This question caused the smile on Dragon Rearing’s face to stiffen for a moment, and the expression between his brows darkened slightly. He lowered his gaze and lowered his voice.” The elder of Clansmen Hall told my father about this…”
“Do you still like that Fu guy? I want to hear the truth.”
Rearing Dragon Zi’s expression changed slightly. She looked at Xia Ping ‘an, who was a little aggressive, and bit her lip. In the end, she nodded with some difficulty.
“Alright, I understand…” Xia Ping ‘an’s expression didn’t change. He merely waved his hand lightly, and Rearing Dragon Zi left the room with a heavy heart..
