Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 49 almost cost me my life?

Lowering the flag doesn't seem as spectacular as raising it.

But the effect was definitely not bad, after all, the honor guard is highly trained, and Chang'an Avenue was temporarily closed for the flag-lowering ceremony.

In the open space of the temporarily closed road, the clattering of leather shoes on the ground, combined with the uniform movements, was indeed a pleasing sight.

It's fair to say that the wait wasn't in vain.

Around 7:30, after watching the flag-lowering ceremony and taking many photos in the square, the group of people, familiar with the place, arrived at the copper pot restaurant on Qianmen Street.

It was already quite late, so there wasn't time to look for another restaurant for dinner.

Waiting for the place.

Then, Qi Yueyao, who had changed her hairstyle to a single ponytail that evening, stood in front of Chen Baiyu as she entered the store.

"No talking about Jesus tonight."

As she spoke, she placed her hands earnestly in front of her chest and made an X.

It seems that Qi Yueyao, this little girl, has been diligently studying online to keep up with Chen Baiyu's train of thought, although the direction she's drawn up has been somewhat off.

"Okay, how about I tell you a story? Which one would you like to hear: The Book of Heruka, The Dream of the Copper Tower, The Legend of the Sea Tiger, or The Romance of the Third Reich?"

Chen Baiyu glanced at her mother and aunt who were chatting with the landlady, and decided to continue teasing the girl next to her who seemed a bit naive.

Speaking of which, my mother mentioned today at Prince Gong's Mansion that this little girl has a heart problem. He didn't actually intend to continue telling those hellish jokes to amuse her.

"Forehead……"

"The Legend of Haihu?"

Qi Yueyao was stunned.

Although something felt off, I still subconsciously tilted my head and randomly picked one.

"Oh, that's good."

"The story takes place during the Song Dynasty, where 108 celestial and terrestrial spirits descend to earth, each possessing an incredibly powerful magnetic field..."

Chen Baiyu began to speak tirelessly.

the other side.

During their conversation with the enthusiastic proprietress, my aunt and mother quickly decided what they would eat for dinner that evening.

Having learned from their experience a few days ago, the two of them felt like they were practically seasoned foodies in Beijing, judging by the dishes they ordered.

After a while.

"Baiyu, dinner's ready!"

My mother's voice came from the other end of the dining table; the water in the copper pot had already boiled.

Steam rose from the pot.

A table was laden with lamb rolls, tripe, and green vegetables, their aroma wafting through the steam.

Chen Baiyu was currently recounting half of the story of "Lin Chong being stripped of his magnetic field power by his superior Gao Qiu using the secret techniques of the Huangji Hall, breaking through in grief and anger at the Mountain God Temple, and piercing the sky with a spear."

Qi Yueyao's eyes lit up as she listened, and when she was interrupted, she tugged at his sleeve reluctantly: "Brother, what happened next? Did Lin Chong recover to the state of Magnetic Field Rotation, 500,000 Strength, and Full Explosion?"

"of course."

Lin Chong roared in grief and anger: "Gao Qiu! Lu Qian! This wicked emperor! I will use my grief and my anger to completely knock your teeth out!"

"Immediately, the Imperial Power Lock around his neck shattered! Endless thunderous power erupted from his body, triggering a thunderstorm in the heavens! The entire mountain god temple was completely torn apart and pulverized by the violent magnetic force!"

"But to know what happens next..."

"We'll have to wait and see what happens next."

After Chen Baiyu finished speaking, he smiled and ruffled her hair.

With a cheeky grin and a mischievous expression, he walked to the table, leaving Qi Yueyao, who was excited but hadn't heard the rest of the story, standing there dumbfounded. After Chen Baiyu sat down, his mother gave him a helpless glare for his fondness for teasing children, but didn't scold him.

He simply asked with concern, "You must be exhausted after all these trips today?"

"Fortunately."

As Chen Baiyu spoke, she picked up a slice of mutton roll from the pot with her chopsticks.

"I think the acrobatics at the Bird's Nest are really good," Mom said. "Especially Xiaobai, those few moves you did were even more agile than the performers. I still think about it and I'm amazed!"

Chen Baiyu smiled but didn't reply. Having evolved into a big eater, he just kept picking at the food.

"The flag-lowering ceremony was quite spectacular."

"So many people waited quietly just to see those few minutes. Although it felt a bit unfair, the atmosphere was instantly different."

"My aunt sighed."

Mom nodded in agreement: "We're going to the Forbidden City tomorrow, so we'll have to get up early. Xiaobai, have you booked your tickets for the Forbidden City yet?"

“It’s arranged,” Chen Baiyu said, taking a sip of plum juice. “We’ll set off at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, entering through the Shenwu Gate, just in time for it to open.”

The words are not finished yet.

His cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

The ringing of the bell was not noticeable at the lively dinner table.

He took out his phone and saw the words "Aunt Zhang" flashing on the screen.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Chen Baiyu quickly pressed the answer button, her tone unconsciously tense: "Hello, Aunt Zhang?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was choked with sobs and faint barking of a dog: "Little Baiyu... I'm so sorry, Auntie didn't watch Baijin properly..."

Chen Baiyu's heart sank, and her hand gripping the chopsticks tightened involuntarily: "Aunt Zhang, please tell me slowly, what happened to Baijin?"

“Just now… I was walking it in the community garden.” Aunt Zhang’s voice choked with emotion. “We ran into that hoodlum from Building 1. He also had a big wolfhound with him, and it wasn’t on a leash. I was talking to Old Li’s wife at the time, and I was holding Platinum on the leash, so I wasn’t paying much attention… Suddenly, the wolfhound pounced on us and bit Platinum’s hind leg…”

“That thug was just standing there watching, not even shouting. It took my wife and me a long time to scare the big wolfhound away. During that time, the thug even kicked Bai Jin, and then he just laughed nonchalantly, saying something like, ‘So what if it bit us? We’ll just pay some money.’... What kind of talk is that!”

Hear this.

Chen Baiyu's expression darkened noticeably.

"How is Platinum doing now?"

Chen Baiyu tried her best to keep her voice steady.

"After I called the police, I rushed her to the pet hospital at the entrance of the community," Aunt Zhang said. "The doctor said the injury was not minor; the flesh was torn apart, and she needed more than a dozen stitches. Fortunately, no internal organs were damaged, and the bone injuries can heal. She should be able to survive, but she needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days, and she will definitely have a scar on her leg in the future."

"Bai Yu, I'm so sorry, it was Auntie's oversight..."

Chen Baiyu closed his eyes, and the image of Baijin wagging its tail and rubbing against his palm floated into his mind. His heart felt like it was blocked by something, and he felt a dull pain.

He remembered that hoodlum.

He idles away his days, and his wolfhound looks fierce, so people in the neighborhood avoid him.

He had encountered this dog before when he was walking Platinum. The wolfhound looked like it was about to pounce, but he managed to back away with Platinum and yell at it to stop.

At the time, that thug was saying, "Hey, what are you afraid of? It won't bite you," and he didn't try to stop his dog at all.

"It's not your fault, Aunt Zhang."

"Don't blame yourself. I'll pay your medical expenses first. Please take good care of Bai Jin first, and we'll talk about it when I get back."

As she spoke, Chen Baiyu took a deep breath to suppress her surging emotions.
