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

In this way, it is not only nutritionally balanced, but also tastes just as good as bird's nest.

Bird's nest?

Would anyone actually eat that stuff first thing in the morning?

The girl didn't quite understand.

However, since Mr. Bai recommended these, I'll make a note of them and order takeout later.

On her rare day off, she wanted to stay in bed a little longer and chat with Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai is so shrewd!

[Bai, being quite old, was rather experienced in the art of cooking, so breakfast was naturally no problem for him. (Image: Dragon Scissors Hand)]

"Haha, Mr. Bai is so funny."

This set of emojis is newly released and features a cute version of the dragon from people's imaginations. Because of its adorable and fun art style, it has become popular all over the country in just a few days.

Girls naturally have their own set of these emojis.

But it depends on who uses it.

If those clueless colleagues dared to say that to her, she would throw a grenade at them and make them furious.

And right now, the person using this emoji is none other than the God himself.

The deity chatted with her using his adorable divine expressions...

My divine lord, hehehe, my divine lord.

The girl wiped her mouth, then put on a serious expression.

That's enough playing around, she has something important to ask.

But how should I put it?

The girl began to think carefully.

She couldn't just directly ask Bai Zhou if he could give her special treatment and add an extra exam, could she...?

In that case, not only would the God-King think of her, but she herself would also despise herself.

Well……

Mr. Bai, do you know what the requirements are for the Dragon Lord's examination?

"No, no..."

Wouldn't that be too blunt?

The girl rubbed her face, preparing to edit the message again.

"Ugh!"

She stared blankly at the "sent" message in the chat history.

"When did you run over it?!"

The girl hurriedly tried to withdraw the message, but it was too late.

The other party's message has been sent.

"What...is it?"

The girl nervously went to see it.

[Is Miss Jingzhe interested in becoming a Divine Dragon?]

"This……"

The girl rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things.

What does the deity mean...? Does she have a chance?

Before the girl could figure it out, a new message arrived.

[The maiden Jingzhe traveled a hundred miles to rid the people of a scourge; this is true benevolence.]

[The young woman genuinely cared for Bai, a complete stranger, even at great personal risk, rather than implicate him; this is true righteousness.]

The young woman kept her promise to Mr. Bai; this is the letter.

[The girl Jingzhe has already shown Bai the three virtues of benevolence, righteousness, and trustworthiness, so she is naturally qualified to take the test.]

However, I don't know if you are willing to become the Divine Dragon Venerable, and since both of us have been preoccupied with unresolved matters recently, I have refrained from bothering you.

So I'm eligible to take the exam now!

Upon seeing the news about Bai Zhou, the girl realized just how virtuous she was.

"Mr. Bai, can I really become the Dragon God?"

[Of course. Young lady, you are of pure heart and virtuous conduct. As merely a Divine Dragon Venerable, I believe that with your abilities and character, passing the test will be a simple matter.]

Mr. Bai, you flatter me. My abilities are nowhere near as great as you describe.

The girl was initially pleased upon seeing the first half of the sentence, but after reading the entire message, the growing fire in her heart was suddenly extinguished.

This doesn't sound like something Mr. Bai would normally say.

After a moment's thought, the girl realized what was going on.

Her assessment has already begun!

Looking back on the last few things that happened before the Lunar New Year at the age of 89 (Part 1)

"Ah Xi, what are you doing?"

While typing, the sudden heavy weight on his neck brought Bai Zhou back to reality from his chat.

"It's that little girl I met last time. She wants to become the Dragon God, but she has many questions, so she came to me for help."

As he spoke to her during the day, he tilted his head slightly to the right and pressed his cheek against Xi's soft hand.

"The Divine Dragon Venerable..."

Xi nodded slightly, then abandoned her interest in continuing the investigation.

There were so many little ones rushing towards them like moths to a flame; there was no way to stop them.

She wouldn't worry about their little schemes.

Because she believed that her son, Ah Xi, would not do anything that would ruin someone's life.

“Ah Xi.”

Xi called out to him, then asked softly, "Have you received any news about the gathering?"

"received."

Bai Zhou exited the chat with the Qilin Girl, opened another friend's chat window, and then showed the chat history to Xi.

"That unreliable guy actually did something reliable for once."

Xi glanced at the chat between her unreliable older brother and A-Xi, and then reached out a finger to scroll up the record.

"...Does this guy chat with you, Ah Xi, every day?"

Looking at those meaningless messages like "Are you there? Have you eaten?", "Good morning", and "Good night", Xi admired her son Axi's patience.

If the other person dares to bother her like this every day, she'll definitely have to give them a piece of her mind.

"That guy wasn't just spouting this useless stuff, was he?"

"Hmm... Sir, please don't be angry. We still have a lot of important matters to attend to."

Bai Zhou flipped through the documents again and found the "Performance Table of the Great Yan Divine Dragon Venerable in the Past Five Years" and the "Promotion Table of the Great Yan Divine Dragon Venerable in the Cycle" to plead for his brother.

"Don't speak up for him. These are his job duties. If he can't even do these things well, then he is truly lazy and deserves to be beaten."

Xi scrolled through the chat history again, and only after confirming that the unreliable guy hadn't tried to fool Stupid Xi with any fallacies did she feel relieved enough to return the phone to Bai Zhou.

"Sir, do you know what happened to those... brothers and sisters?"

Instead of mentioning his brother, Bai Zhou steered the conversation to the person who caused the gathering to be postponed.

"It's probably because... the Great Yan has changed so much over the years that they don't recognize the way anymore."

Xi thought for a moment and then shared her guess.

This is a problem that is very likely to occur in people who are long-lived and often stay at home.

Not to mention that the Great Yan is changing rapidly these days; cities and villages that were once in our memories may become completely unfamiliar in a year or two. It would be strange if those old folks didn't get lost without a guide and a map after leaving their old homes.

"Don't worry about them. As long as they're not completely out of their minds, they'll find a populated area and ask around to find out what to do."

More than caring about those silly guys, Xi was concerned about the "family trip" plan that had been set before daybreak.

"Hmm, that's quite a coincidence, sir."

Opening the memo during the day, I saw that the notes marked "family trip on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year" and "gathering on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year" were only one day apart.

“Perfect, we can go have some fun for a couple of days first, and then go to the party.”

"The little ones can play by themselves now. They always seem a bit reserved when we're around."

"Ah."

Seeing that Bai Zhou had made a decision, Xi nodded slightly to indicate that she had no objections.

Bai Zhou's decision suited her perfectly. Without those little guys vying for her attention, Ben A Xi was all she had left... oh, and there was also Nian.

That's enough, at most we can split the time in half with that guy.

"Ah Xi, drink less alcohol this time."

Although she knew that her Ah Xi wouldn't get drunk even if she drank a whole lake of wine, the atmosphere and emotions could still make people feel tipsy. And those bad guys loved to tease people who were half-drunk. She had to protect Ah Xi and not let those bad guys harm her.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, sir."

He always appreciated the care from the evening, no matter how small, it would bring him joy for a long time.

"Well, let's not talk about the party for now. Sir, is there anything you'd like to buy for the New Year?"

Bai Zhou glanced at the calendar; with the year drawing to a close, it was time for them to start preparing and buying New Year's goods.
