The shuttle in the second dimension

　Facing Subaru's angry shout, Lin Xuan did not answer, but silently looked at Subaru's thighs.

　"Doesn't it hurt?"

　"Ah?" Subaru was confused at first, but the pain that followed made his face change drastically and twisted.

　"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!" Subaru rolled back and forth on the ground, hugging his thighs. However, because of rolling on the ground, he touched other parts of his body that Lin Xuan was taking care of, and his wailing became even more miserable... Looking at Subaru's wailing, Lin Xuan shook his head and sighed.

　"Can't you just hold back? If Emilia sees you like this, it will lower her impression of you."

　Hearing that it would lower Emilia's image, Subaru gritted his teeth and sat up despite the pain.

　"That's not right, right?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled.

　"People's perception of silver-haired half-goblins won't change overnight, so even if you're angry now, it's pointless. I'm just giving you a heads-up. I won't wait until you arrive in the capital and realize you've lost control of your emotions and impulsively done something stupid or said something you shouldn't have."

　"--I know." Subaru also knew that his power alone was too small to change people's views on Emilia.

　"Then, let me remind you of one thing. For an elven magician, an agreement is very important. So, if Emilia makes an agreement with you in the future, don't violate the agreement unless it is necessary, otherwise the consequences will not be what you want to see." After saying that, Lin Xuan stood up, and it looked like he was going to leave.

　"Think carefully about what I just said. I'm leaving first." After saying that, Lin Xuan left, leaving Subaru sitting alone on the lawn, silently staring at the grass swaying in the wind.

　-

　After changing into the formal clothes Rem had given him for the royal election, Lin Xuan opened the door and walked out. Today was the day to leave for the royal capital.

　When Lin Xuan arrived at the gate, he saw that Rem and Ram had already prepared the dragon chariot and the earth dragon.

　"Is it packed?"

　"We will set off after breakfast. If we haven't packed up by now, it will be Ram and Rem's fault." After confirming that everything was correct, Ram got off the dragon carriage and said with a little pride.

　"Ram is really reliable when it comes to important matters." Lin Xuan's words had just fallen when a gust of wind blew past his ears, taking away a few strands of his hair.

　"Ha-ha-no matter what the matter is, Ram is very reliable." After two dry laughs, Lin Xuan quickly changed his words.

　Seeing Lin Xuan quickly changing his words, Rem covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, "Lin Xuan, let's go to the restaurant first. Rem and my sister have already packed up here. It will be time for breakfast soon."

　"Well, I see."

　……

　After breakfast, Lin Xuan and others officially embarked on their journey to the royal capital. Among the maids, Rem went to the royal capital with Lin Xuan and others, while Ram stayed in the mansion.

　Originally, Lin Xuanhe should have been sitting in the dragon cart like Subaru, but because of his own request, he wanted to take this opportunity to improve his riding skills, so he gave up the treatment of sitting in the dragon cart and chose to ride the ground dragon directly.

　Nothing happened along the way. The only time that attracted people's attention was probably when Subaru didn't understand the situation and stretched his hand out of the range of the [Wind Shelter] protection. Then he was blown by the wind and flew out of the car. If there was no leather tied to his hand, he would have flown far away and then fell heavily to the ground. His head made close contact with the ground, and a red and white flower bloomed on the ground.

　Looking at Subaru, who was hanging on the back of the dragon cart like a kite and constantly "floating", Lin Xuan, who was riding on El and following the dragon cart, shook his head with a helpless look on his face.

　"Really? You can't even sit still in a car." As he said that, Lin Xuan slowed down El, ran to Subaru's side, grabbed Subaru's clothes, and after some trouble, stuffed Subaru back into the dragon car.

　Subaru returned to the car with a look of having survived a disaster, and it seemed that he was very scared.

　Finally, after a not-too-hard journey, Lin Xuan and others finally arrived at the royal capital.

End of Chapter 41

　This is a very busy airport with people coming and going.

　Although the location is some distance away from Lin Xuan's residence, this airport is the nearest airport nearby.

　As people got off the plane one by one, the people around to greet them chatted and laughed with each other enthusiastically, and walked towards the airport exit hand in hand. It was very lively.

　But the next moment, the noise in the airport suddenly became much weaker.

　At the airport, almost everyone turned their gaze in one direction, as if attracted by something, and subconsciously shut their mouths (hx).

　There, a girl with a delicate face like a fairy walked forward with strong steps, facing everyone's gaze.

　Next to the girl, there was a young man with a smile on his face walking side by side with her. Although he was not as stunning as the girl, the boy's clean and refreshing face also attracted the attention of most women.

　The young boy and girl were Lin Xuan and Lily who had returned from Sardinia.

　"Everyone in this airport has attracted your attention, Lily," Lin Xuan said to Lily beside him with a smile.

　"No——I think all the women's eyes are on you."

　"No, no, no, I think they saw me after they saw you."

　"Should we speed up our pace? Lin Xuan," Lily suggested, seeming to dislike being stared at like this.

　"Well, I don't really like the feeling of being stared at either." After thinking about it, Lin Xuan found that he really didn't like the feeling of being watched by others, so he agreed with Lily's suggestion.

　As the two of them stepped out of the airport, a black car stopped in front of them. The driver got out of the car, bowed deeply to Lin Xuan, and then opened the door for him.

　"Good - you are well-informed, which is commendable." With a slight smile, Lin Xuan stepped into the car.

　"Seven Heroes Shrine——" After Lily got in the car, Lin Xuan said to the driver, and the driver didn't say anything, but just drove silently.

　·····Requesting flowers·······

　Looking at the stone steps that he hadn't seen for a while and the shrine above it reminded Lin Xuan of the first time he and Yuri met, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

　"Let me take you to see someone, Lily——" With the silver-haired girl, Lin Xuan once again climbed the stone steps with traces of history.

　"After all, we'll be together often in the future——"

　Shichio Shrine

　A young girl was sitting on a small wooden bench in front of the shrine. She was probably about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a very standard shrine maiden costume, and her beautiful long hair was draped behind her. Under the sunlight, it sparkled with beautiful colors and luster.

　The girl is now sitting quietly on a small wooden stool, supporting her little head with her hands, looking into the distance.

　But the next moment, the girl stopped what she was doing and stood up.

　Standing in front of her was a young boy of similar age to her. He was wearing a white casual shirt and dark blue jeans that fit tightly around his long legs. With his clean, handsome face and a smile always on his lips, he gave people the refreshing feeling of a sunny boy.

　The breeze gently blew across their faces, lifting their soft hair.

　"Hello, long time no see——Yuri~~~~" The boy greeted Yuri with a joking tone.

　“Lin Xuan————?” Tilting his head slightly, Yuri looked at the young man named Lin Xuan in front of him with some doubt.

　Looking at the puzzled girl in front of him, Lin Xuan said with a comforting smile, "I'm back——"

　However, things did not develop in the normal direction, so there was no scene of the girl throwing herself into the boy's arms with tears in her eyes. Instead, there was only the girl's face gradually becoming darker.

　"Hey!! There's something wrong with this painting style————" Looking at Yuri's face that was gradually getting darker, Lin Xuan subconsciously took a step back and complained with some guilt.

　Lin Xuan's retreat revealed Lily, who was standing not far behind him, and as a result, Yuri's face became even gloomier.

　"Mr. Lin Xuan - can you explain to me where you have been going recently?" Like the calm before the storm, Yuri's words were full of a suppressed calmness that made Lin Xuan's right eyelid twitch and cold sweat break out.

　"Oh my god, I should have checked the almanac before coming back————" If it was before the time travel, Lin Xuan still thought that the thing was a scam, and only those superstitious people would believe in it. But after really traveling through time, Lin Xuan felt that taking the thing might be of some use. Ah Xi————even the thing of gods exists, so it is not difficult to believe that the almanac can be believed————

　"Well, I suddenly wanted to travel those days, so I asked the official history compilation committee to make some arrangements. I asked them to tell you, didn't you know—haha—"

　"If you were traveling, then why did the news spread that you had killed a god again——and in that place——"

　"Haha——I don't know either, maybe it's a coincidence. You see, before I became a godslayer, I also went traveling, and then I met two disobedient gods, didn't I——" As if he felt that his words were true enough, Lin Xuan brought out his own past examples and said.

　"Then do you know how dangerous that is!!!!" Like a suppressed spring rebounding, Yuri shouted at Lin Xuan

　"You know exactly how much disaster that person would cause if you succeeded. You know exactly how dangerous that person is. Why did you still conduct the experiment?! ! ! ! Could it be that you... wuu ...

　He extended his right index finger and placed it in front of Yuri's alluring red lips, which made Yuri's words come to an abrupt halt. Lin Xuan's expression was a little unnatural.

　“Hey, Yuri, this matter has passed, let’s not talk about it anymore. Besides, how much do you think the gods are attractive to godslayers, especially to godslayers who are desperate for power? This is like asking a hungry beast to let go of the food in front of it. It’s impossible. So, please tolerate my willfulness this time.

Chapter 42 The Game Begins

　Boom——Boom——

　Rumbling sounds rang out one after another from where Lin Xuan and Luo Hao were fighting, and even the ground began to tremble slightly because of the battle between the two.

　"It's so intense~~~~ It makes me feel itchy~~~"

　Standing among Chi You, Lin Xuan glanced at the battle between his other self and Luo Hao, and muttered softly, but he retracted his gaze after just one glance, and focused all his attention on his fellow disciples in front of him - the Three Gods.

　"The battle over there has already started, let's start here too, otherwise, I will feel unbalanced." Lin Xuan said with a slight grin.

　The Great Sage Equaling Heaven didn't answer Lin Xuan immediately, but instead looked him up and down. When the second Lin Xuan appeared, his first thought was that it was a clone. However, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven also had clones, and he knew the difference in strength between his clones and his original self. However, the strength he sensed from the two Lin Xuans was identical. When he used his Fiery Eyes to see what was going on between the two Lin Xuans, he discovered that both were real, which intrigued him greatly.

　"No wonder you dared to speak so arrogantly, declaring war on both me and that God Slayer. Now it seems you do have the wherewithal. However, I'm afraid you never imagined that I, Sun, could draw upon the destructive power of heaven and earth and the stars to enhance my own strength and summon my brothers to aid me in this battle."

　"Well, I know a little bit about you. After all, I can't release you without knowing anything about you." Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Xuan said with a pout.

　"Oh~~~~It seems that you know a lot about me~~~~" The Monkey King raised his eyebrows and smiled. At this time, he had returned to his original size. However, the curse power wrapped around his body was not reduced at all, but made people feel even more terrifying.

　"It's okay." Shaking his head, Lin Xuan chuckled.

　Suddenly, the [Chi You] that wrapped around him shook violently, and the materialized dark red mana seemed to have returned to its original form without any shape. Finally, the entire [Chi You] turned into a huge dark red mana, and finally dissipated with the wind, leaving only Lin Xuan floating in the air.

　Looking at Lin Xuan, who was now covered in a thin layer of dark red mana, the Monkey King grinned slightly and said to his two junior brothers beside him, "Brothers, please don't attack me yet. I'll play with him first."

　"I understand, Big Brother," Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing responded at the same time.

　Looking at the Monkey King standing opposite him, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more. The next moment, two rays of light, one golden and one red, collided fiercely.

　-

　Feeling the two terrifying curse powers suddenly colliding behind him, Lin Xuan had no idea what was happening. It was simply that the other self and the Monkey King had officially started fighting.

　This battle will probably not be easier than the previous one. After all, the destructive power that the Monkey King obtained from the heaven, earth and stars has increased his strength to a higher level.

　However, Lin Xuan didn't have the time to care about the battle between his other self and the Monkey King. Right now, the battle with Luo Hao alone was enough to keep him busy.

　In reality, fighting Luo Hao was an opportunity for Lin Xuan to grow in strength. Although Luo Hao's incredible martial arts had caused Lin Xuan a lot of trouble, it also gave him a new understanding of some of the techniques he hadn't grasped yet, allowing him to use them more skillfully and even make them his own.

　Therefore, Lin Xuan now hardly uses powers such as [Roar of Heaven] and [Eternal Sun], just to be able to have such a duel with Luo Hao and grow his strength.

　Of course, this choice also put him at a disadvantage, and he was suppressed by Luo Hao most of the time. However, Lin Xuan didn't care, and instead enjoyed it. Luo Hao seemed to have noticed Lin Xuan's intention, but she didn't say anything, only speeding up the pace of her attacks.

　Luo Hao's unique skill, the Twelve Flying Phoenix Palms, consists of twelve moves: Phoenix Cub Arrives, Phoenix Eyes Pierce Curtains, Phoenix Claws Rid the Heart, Flying Phoenix Falls, Red Phoenix Facing the Sun, Golden Phoenix Spreads Wings, Continuous Winds, Male Phoenix Thousand Jin, Phoenix Wings Celestial Phenomenon, Phoenix Dragon Yin and Yang, Phoenix Flying Together, and Great Phoenix Without Heaven. Each move, when unleashed, combines both strength and softness, embodying the principle of the mutual restraint of yin and yang.

　At this moment, the Twelve Palms were constantly being used by Luo Hao. Luo Hao was worthy of the title of the Supreme Master of the Martial World. The connection between each move of the Twelve Flying Phoenix Palms was simply seamless, leaving Lin Xuan with no room to maneuver and disrupt Luo Hao's rhythm.

　Moreover, there are two Vajra Warriors behind Luo Hao. The two Vajra Warriors are quietly guarding behind Luo Hao at this time. Luo Hao doesn't seem to want to control them to deal with Lin Xuan. Perhaps it is because controlling them will distract him and make it easy for him to make a mistake.

　Perhaps there were other purposes as well. At the very least, with those two massive Vajra Warriors standing there, Lin Xuan couldn't possibly be completely unprepared for them and fully engaged in a battle with Luo Hao. The unknown was terrifying; after all, who knew when those two Vajra Warriors would strike? If they struck while Luo Hao was vulnerable, it would be too late to defend himself.
