Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"No, no, I'm just embarrassed to say I'm lost, so please be magnanimous and take me out!"

As he said that, Guo Pengzhan ran over and put his arm around Liuli's shoulders.

When Liuli saw Guo Pengzhan running over and hugging her shoulders in a familiar manner, her face turned very red.

When Guo Pengzhan saw Liuli’s rosy face, his eyes didn’t move and he just stared at him.

"You, what are you looking at? It's so annoying!"

"Hahaha." Guo Pengzhan withdrew his hand very embarrassedly.

"I'll take you wherever you want to go."

"Tsk, that's easy for you to say. How can this palace be a place you can go whenever you want?" Guo Pengzhan curled his lips and said with disdain.

"What if I could take you there?"

"Tsk, you're just a palace maid, where can you take me?"

"Why don't we make a bet? If you lose, you take me out of the palace to play."

"No gambling."

"Are you scared?"

Liuli felt very disappointed seeing Guo Pengzhan was so decisive, and then a sly smile appeared on Liuli's face.

"You don't dare! You're lost, how can you have the guts to bet with me~"

"Who wouldn't dare? Let's bet, what do you want to bet on?"

When Liuli saw Guo Pengzhan’s angry look, she smiled with crescent eyes.

"Well, if you lose, you have to take me out of the palace to play."

"So simple?"

Guo Pengzhan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the conditions proposed by Liuli would be so simple.

"As for me, I have been living in this palace since I was born. I can't leave the palace at all, so I have always wanted to go out and take a look."

Guo Pengzhan stared at Liuli in a daze. He saw the girl's yearning for the outside world in her eyes.

"That's right. How can you, a palace maid, leave the palace at will? Don't worry, I will take you outside if possible."

"Palace maid?"

Liuli looked at Guo Pengzhan in surprise. She didn't expect that he would think that she was just a little palace maid. Suddenly, a very interesting idea appeared in her mind.

"Yes, I am a maid in this palace, I don't know many people, and I have to serve the princess. Sometimes I have to be punished if I do something wrong."

"Is it so miserable?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Hmph, that princess is really too much. If I meet her, I will definitely help you vent your anger! By the way, which princess is that? I can recognize her then!"

"She is the current Princess Qiming, the favorite princess of His Majesty."

"Humph, from what you said, it seems that she is a willful princess. If I meet her someday, I will definitely teach her a lesson for you."

"Haha, sure. I'll wait. Come on, I'll take you wherever you want to go."

"Emm, you took me to the Astrology Building. My master seems to be calling me!" "Your master?"

"Yes, I followed my master to open the Apocalypse Empire."

"Wow, not many people from Lingtian Holy Sect can enter the Astrology Building. It seems that your master is very powerful!"

"Of course. Do you know the way to the Astrology Building?"

"Of course I know, and I've been there several times. Come on, I'll take you there."

Having said that, Liuli took Guo Pengzhan's hand and was about to leave.

“So soft and smooth~”

Guo Pengzhan is already grown up, but he has never touched a girl's hand. Now, suddenly a girl holds his hand, and Guo Pengzhan actually starts to have wild thoughts.

"Hey, we're here, what are you thinking about?"

Liuli turned around and saw Guo Pengzhan’s stupid look, and felt very confused.

"Ahem, nothing much. Are we here so soon?"

"What else? Let's go in!"

"No, is it really okay for a palace maid like you to enter the Astrology Tower openly like this?" "It's okay, I told you, I've been here several times, go in."

"male"

The guard guarding the Astrology Tower wanted to pay his respects when he saw Liuli, but Liuli stopped him with her eyes.

"Hey, why is Liuli here?"

Yue Caiguan, who was chatting with Zhang Mengchuang in the Astrology Building, felt Liuli's breath and said in confusion.

As soon as Yue Caiguan finished speaking, Liuli walked in with Guo Pengzhan.

"Father!" Liuli came in and ran to Yue Caiguan, holding his arm and called sweetly.

"Ah! Father, father, father? Didn't you tell me that you were a palace maid?"

"I didn't say that. You were the one who said I was a palace maid right away. So I just followed your instructions and continued to act."

Guo Pengzhan looked at the sky speechlessly when he saw Liuli's cunning expression like a little fox.

"The palace is too tricky. I want to go back to the sect."

"Okay Qiming, stop making trouble and come meet Uncle Zhang."

"Yes, Qiming has met Uncle Zhang."

"Haha, I didn't expect Qiming to be this big now. The last time I saw her was when she was a child."

"Yes, time flies by so fast."

"Okay, now let's get down to business, Pengzhan. This time I'm sending you to the Southern Region to gain some experience, but I have a mission for you."

"Master, please tell me!"

"Tonight, a meteor streaked across the East Region and flew towards the South Region. This time, in addition to going to the South Region for training, you also need to help me investigate the true identity of this meteor."

"Yes! Master, I'll leave now." Guo Pengzhan took out his sword and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

These words almost made Guo Pengzhan fall off his sword.

Several people looked at Liuli with confusion.

Liuli came over aggressively with her hands on her hips, and said, "You liar, you lost, so you have to take me out to play!"

"Qiming, don't mess around!"

"Father, this is what I agreed with him. If I bring him to the Astrology Tower, he will take me out of the palace to play!"

"I..."

Guo Pengzhan looked at Liuli helplessly.

"Qiming, don't mess around. Pengzhan has a mission in the Southern Region this time. Wouldn't it just cause trouble if you go with him?"

"Hmph, I don't care, I'm going to go. You, you already promised me, tell me, do you want to take me with you?"

"I…"

"Qiming, have I been too indulgent towards you? Now go back to your Qiming Palace."

"You nasty father, you bad father, I will never talk to you again."

After saying that, Liuli flew away.

"This kid."

"Well, Your Majesty, I can actually take her with me. Besides, I promised her that I would take her out to play."

"Old Yue, don't you know Liuli's personality? She is naturally curious. After so many years, that incident should be over. Maybe it would be better for Guo Pengzhan to take her out so that the two young people can communicate better."

"Alas, I was also worried that something might happen to her. Her mother got into trouble because I didn't get there in time. I don't want this to happen to Qiming again."

"It's time for you to come to terms with it. Liuli looks so much like his mother. You named her Liuli to commemorate her."

"Yes, I named this child Liuli because I hope that she will be like Liuli and not be polluted by any filth for her whole life. But I kept calling her Qiming. It seems that I was really wrong."

"Then, Guo Pengzhan, I will leave the task of protecting Liuli to you!"

"I will protect her well."

After saying this, Guo Pengzhan flew towards Qiming Palace. This time, with the king's decree, Guo Pengzhan arrived at Qiming Palace without any obstacles. (End of this chapter)
