I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"If a Divine Dragon Venerable commits evil deeds after gaining power, he will be stripped of his blessing and punished. If a Divine Dragon Venerable is lazy and still unwilling to perform his duties after two years, he will be warned. If he is still lazy half a month after the first warning, he will receive another warning. If he still does not take action after three days, he will also be stripped of his blessing and punished."

"The test of the Five Virtues can begin at any time, so the frequency of the appearance of the Divine Dragon Venerable depends on the mood of the Divine Lord."

"Due to updates and iterations, the current number of Divine Dragon Venerables is only 10,092."

"Ha... I didn't expect so many changes."

Hearing from his elder brother about the various changes over the years, the immortal sighed deeply, his heart filled with emotion.

"Should we go see him? As the abbot of this Shenjun Temple, I still have a few advantages."

The immortal shook his head.

"No... It's enough to know he's alright. I'm not fully awake yet, and I won't be able to stay with him for long if I go see him now. I'd rather wait until I'm fully awake before I go to find him."

She woke up this time because she had overslept and deliberately woke up in the middle of the night to regain that real sense of existence.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go!"

The immortal rose to take his leave and departed Guanyu in the orange-yellow sunset.

"..."

The elder brother, holding a cup of tea, leaned against the door, gazing into the distance, calculating whether the month's accounts showed a profit or a loss.

Actually... he hadn't seen a real dragon in a long time.

"..."

"Grandpa! Dinner's ready!"

The dragon girl kicked open the door, carried in the food, and called out loudly to the man who was reading a book.

"Ah Jin, etiquette."

The man's words immediately made the girl's face turn bitter, and she lifted her skirt and retreated.

"Boom bang bang."

She knocked on the door, her smile stiff, and greeted them softly:

"Grandpa, it's time to eat."

"Hmm. What kind of noodles?"

Bai Zhou put away his book and asked her, as if he hadn't seen the girl's funny face.

"Hey, Grandpa, this is naturally your favorite plain noodles."

"As for me, I just ate a regular big meat noodle soup."

The girl arranged the noodles, rice, and dishes on the wooden plate, then sat down with a smile, waiting for Bai Zhou to take his seat.

"Isn't it supposed to be plain noodles? Why is it noodles with lots of meat?"

Glancing at the generous amount of meat in the noodles, Bai Zhou asked, feigning confusion.

"This is specially made to nourish your body, Grandpa."

The girl's eyebrows curved, and her moon-shaped eyes were full of joy.

"Grandpa, please try this. This is noodles I made myself. Only you in this world can taste it."

"well."

During the day, he picks up noodles with chopsticks.

(￣～￣) Chew!

"Hmm, the dough is kneaded well, it's chewy enough."

"The meat is cut quite thick. If you were to open a shop there, regardless of whether you make a profit, your reputation would definitely be good."

"I'm not going to open a shop, it's too much trouble."

"So what do you want to do?"

The girl turned her head to the side, staring intently at him.

"Of course I'll follow you, Grandpa, to fight for justice and travel the world!"

"Then tell me, what have you been doing all these years we've been together?"

"Hey... I'm too weak to even kill a chicken, so I can only help you out, sir."

The girl stuck out her tongue and buried her head in her noodles before he could speak, preventing him from saying anything.

"Ah……"

The interrupted spellcasting didn't bother Bai Zhou; he simply shook his head and leisurely enjoyed the bowl of noodles in front of him.

"Hey, old man."

After finishing her meal, the girl leaned on the table and called out to Bai Zhou, who was still reading.

"When are you going to teach me how to use magic?"

"Have you mastered martial arts?"

"not yet……"

"Then keep practicing. Remember the principle of not trying to do too much at once."

During the day, without even looking up, he spouted various principles and admonitions to the girl.

"But I also want to fly through the clouds like you, Grandpa!"

The young girl was incredibly envious of her grandfather. He could travel as if he were floating on clouds, never needing to walk – it was so convenient.

Moreover, the old man uses all sorts of powerful magic, unlike her, who gets exhausted and sweaty just from fighting bandits.

"Just want to fly through the clouds?"

He looked up and met her gaze during the day.

"Yeah."

The girl's eyes held even greater hope.

"Then go take the exam. If you pass, you'll have everything."

"Ugh?"

The girl pouted and lay down again.

"No way. That was given to me by you, Grandpa, not something I could control myself."

"Hmm...that's quite ambitious."

"That's right, we're still dragons with your bloodline, Grandpa. We'll fight for our pride, even if it means steaming buns!"

The girl said again:

"The throne is not going to me... although I don't want that wretched position anyway. Besides, studying those psychological warfare strategies is nothing compared to how comfortable and happy I am with you, Grandpa."

"But after all, I've learned a lot from you, Grandpa. If I don't learn a few tricks to take back with me, it's a small matter if I'm laughed at, but it's a big deal if I embarrass you, Grandpa!"

The young woman didn't want to go back home for the New Year and be mocked by her unreliable brothers for wasting another year with the old man.

"That makes some sense."

"But this spell..."

"Grandpa! Please teach me! Just teach me one move!"

The girl used her secret skill that she had practiced since childhood, hugging her old man while acting cute towards him.

“…I’ll teach you, I’ll teach you. Get up, you’re a grown man, why are you still acting like a child?”

Bai Zhou sighed softly, trying to peel the little dragon off himself.

"Don't don't!"

Having received the promise, the girl's smile became incredibly radiant.

"Besides, he's only sixteen this year, he's just a child!"

"……Ugh."

Helpless, Bai Zhou raised his hand and tapped her forehead, whispering:

"Go and make me a pot of tea."

"okay!"

The girl let go of him, jumped up, and ran out quickly.

"This child..."

He bears some resemblance to him back then.

However, he wasn't as unruly as this little guy. He usually addressed him as "Grandpa," acting like a close friend despite their age difference. Only when he was unhappy would he give him a bear hug and then become a well-behaved grandson.

"..."

"Grandpa... I can... be released!"

Seeing the girl's flustered expression, Bai Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still far from it. You can only be considered a beginner when you can use lightning magic without getting angry."

"Hehe, I've only been learning for one day. I'll practice for a few more days and I'll be good at it!"

The girl smoothed her hair and gave Bai Zhou a silly smile.

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly, called out to the girl, and summoned a cloud of white clouds in his hand.

"Alright, silly girl, it's time to go."

"Oh! This is so sudden! Wait for me, old man!"

The girl shouted, then suddenly jumped and clung to Bai Zhou's waist.

"You little rascal, you almost twisted my old back."
