I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

She stood there, panting heavily, her face deathly pale.

The girl's mother rushed over and hugged her daughter.

Just as she was about to thank Jin Shiqi, she suddenly heard a loud bang.

She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the dump truck had crashed into a roadside shop, tilting a utility pole and embedding most of its front end into the shop.

Everyone was stunned.

Several children playing in front of the shop were so frightened that they burst into tears.

They were only four or five years old. Fortunately, they weren't caught in the act, but the situation was enough to leave them at a loss.

Dust billowed from the shops, and dump trucks tilted, with bits of yellow soil falling off them.

With a creaking sound, it tilted more and more.

A little boy was still under the car, crying helplessly.

The yellow dust fell on his head, but the child seemed to be terrified and remained motionless.

Feeling that the car could tip over at any moment and the little boy could be run over, Jin Shiqi and Liu Ying rushed over one after the other.

Both of them were very fast, even faster than athletes in the 100-meter race, but no one paid attention to that.

Because she was already in the middle of the road and was physically stronger, Jin Shiqi was the first to run to the front of the car.

She grabbed the little boy and pulled him to safety.

After releasing the child, she patted his chubby chest and let out a soft breath.

Liu Ying, who was halfway through the run, also stopped.

The smile had just appeared on her face when she suddenly heard a strange noise.

Looking up, she saw the telephone pole, which had been knocked down halfway, falling to the other side.

She noticed that Kim Si-ki had also seen this scene.

To her astonishment, as the utility pole collapsed, the high-voltage power lines hanging from it, still crackling with electricity, fell straight down.

Under the high-voltage line, it was Jin Shiqi.

At that moment, she was thirty or forty meters away from Jin Shiqi and could only shout, "Run! High-voltage line!"

Jin Shiqi heard her voice and looked over in confusion.

The high-voltage line was less than half a meter away from her head!

Liu Ying turned pale with anxiety and shouted, "Run!"

Jin Shiqi belatedly realized something was wrong, looked up, and saw the high-voltage power line that was already very close at hand.

The bright electric light almost touched her face.

Boom!

The tilted dump truck finally crashed to the ground with a loud bang, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust.

Under the reflection of the loess soil, Jin Shiqi's figure became blurred.

Having saved two people, she now felt a profound sense of powerlessness as she faced the high-voltage power line, which resembled a venomous snake.

She had nowhere to hide, and her mind went completely blank.

Just as the high-voltage line was about to touch her, Jin Shiqi suddenly felt a tightening around her waist.

Her vision seemed to flicker slightly, and the bright arc of electricity and the choking yellow dust vanished completely.

For a moment, she was in a daze, and could only stare wide-eyed at the person who had suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

That familiar face, skin so tender it seemed you could squeeze water out of it, and eyes that could almost see into her soul.

She felt like she was hallucinating.

Zhang Yu, however, felt as if he had saved the world.

He's been single for so many years, and he's only ever liked two girls.

The first was a woman who treated him like a dog, a woman who didn't discriminate between yellow, white, black, or vegetarian. The second one finally made some progress, but almost had an accident.

That high-voltage line is at least 10kV; the chances of survival if struck by it are very low.

Fortunately, he arrived in time; otherwise, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

Holding the soft woman in his arms, he felt a deep sense of relief.

Looking into her innocent eyes, his heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and his mood instantly returned to calm.

He suddenly felt an impulse, his heart started racing, and he instinctively lowered his head.

Jin Shiqi felt her heart beating faster, and she felt that the dream in front of her was really real.

As the face drew ever closer, she shyly closed her eyes.

"They kissed! They kissed!" Liu Ying stared at the scene from afar, her face beaming with excitement, as if she had just witnessed some juicy gossip.

She was almost scared to death just now.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a blur flashed by, and she immediately discovered that Jin Shiqi had escaped danger and was being held in Zhang Yu's arms.

Everyone at the research institute was curious about the progress of their relationship, and she was no exception.

It was rare to see the two of them in such an ambiguous situation, and her eyes almost lit up.

But soon, her excitement faded, leaving her with a sour feeling.

"In public, don't you know how to be mindful? Aren't you afraid of setting a bad example for children?" She looked away.

Bai Lin also silently withdrew his divine sense.

He was talking to Guan Mi when he suddenly sensed something and extended his divine sense to this place, where he saw Zhang Yu "rescuing the beauty".

This also made him realize that the dark aura in Zhang Yu's forehead earlier was probably related to this.

He realized that he, as a Dragon Guard, had clearly fallen in love.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved.

……

Chapter 178 Chongyang Palace

A light rain began to fall, and a misty fog enveloped the entire mountain path.

The temperature dropped several degrees, and pedestrians on the street were all wearing thick coats.

Guan Mi rode his bicycle, navigating the rugged mountain road, and successfully turned onto the main road.

The mountain road was muddy, but the wheels of her bicycle were spotless, looking as good as new.

She hummed a little tune, letting the rain soak her body and wet her hair, but her expression was very content.

Bai Lin has been back for a week now, and she has been staying on the mountain these days.

Although this "old man," whose age is unknown (hundreds or thousands of years), always treats him like an elder, the atmosphere between them becomes more harmonious after he discovers the other's little secret.

She felt she preferred humans to a dragon.

If this dragon is actually a human, that would be amazing!

If Bai Long hadn't said he was going into seclusion to cultivate today, and if her mother hadn't kept nagging her to come home, she wouldn't have wanted to go down the mountain.

A moment later, the bicycle turned into a newly built residential area.

This area is adjacent to Shenlong National Academy, and its residents are mainly the academy's faculty and staff.

Guan Mi parked his bicycle in the bike shed, shook his head, and his originally wet hair instantly dried.

She locked her car and walked towards a small building in the center.

Her parents have now been transferred to Shenlong Kingdom Academy.

As the executive vice president, Guan's father was initially a bit overwhelmed, but although he has become more familiar with the work, he is still extremely busy every day.

Guan's mother had much more free time, so even though it was during working hours, she left the college early when she learned that her daughter was coming back and prepared a large table of dishes.

As soon as Guan Mi opened the door, he smelled the rich aroma of food.

Seeing the steaming hot food already laid out on the table, her eyes lit up. She kicked off her shoes, put on slippers, and quickly walked to the table. She picked up a sweet and sour meatball with one hand and stuffed it into her mouth, exclaiming in surprise, "Mom, your cooking skills have improved! The food is so delicious now!"

Guan's mother, wearing an apron, was still busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, he peeked outside and chuckled, "When has your mother's cooking ever been bad?"

"Could it be a ready-made meal kit?" Guan Mi walked towards the kitchen.

“Why would I need that kind of stuff!” Mrs. Guan glanced at her daughter and said proudly, “I learned it from the head chef in the cafeteria. He used to be the head chef at a five-star hotel!”

"Is my dad coming back?" Guan Mi changed the subject.

“Dean Guan is a very busy person these days,” Guan’s mother said, her tone suddenly filled with complaint. “I called him twice this morning but he didn’t answer.”

She chattered on for a few more minutes, then skillfully ladled the last dish from the pot onto a plate. Looking at Guan Mi, she said, "You live so close by, you might as well come home for dinner every day. I can cook for you then."

"The cafeteria has free food, so don't tire my mom out." Guan Mi shook his head vigorously.

Although Guan's mother's cooking skills have improved somewhat, they are still limited and can hardly compare to the level of state banquet chefs on Yatou Mountain.

"Mom's cooking" is something you can enjoy occasionally.

Guan's mother's brow twitched slightly, a hint of helplessness in her voice: "You think my cooking isn't good enough?"

"How could that be!" Guan Mi said seriously. "Then it's settled today, I'll take care of all the food on that table, and I promise not a single bite will be left!"

Knowing her daughter's appetite, Guan's mother understood that she wasn't making it up, but sighed, "You live so close by, yet you don't even know to come home more often..."

Just as Guan Mi was about to speak, his mother suddenly changed the subject, revealing her true intentions: "Why don't you let me go and keep you company?"

Guan Mi immediately understood her mother's thoughts and chuckled, "I can't make that decision myself; you'll have to ask..."

She wanted to ask Liu Chongyu, but worried that the cunning fox would push the problem onto her, so she said, "Ask Director Zhao; he's the one who makes these decisions."

Of course, Guan's mother knew who Director Zhao, whom her daughter was talking about, was.

She put down the plate and said, "Surely your Mr. Bai can make that decision?"

As if thinking of something, Guan Mi's eyes became unfocused. Looking out the window, he said, "According to the rules, it should be Director Zhao. It wouldn't be right to bypass him, would it?"

Bypass Director Zhao?

Suddenly, Guan's mother remembered something important.

It seems that Mr. Bai's status is above that of Director Zhao!

But is this possible?

She secretly shook her head, guessing that the other party must have a special identity, and that the country's high-ranking officials gave him face.

“There’s no need to go to such trouble,” Mrs. Guan said, handing chopsticks to her daughter. “You’re so familiar with Mr. Bai, why don’t you invite him over for a meal sometime?”

Before her daughter could object, she continued, "Your dad often mentions him too."

"My dad mentioned him?" Guan Mi asked in surprise.

Although her father is already the executive vice president of Shenlong National Academy, according to the level of confidentiality, he should not have come into contact with Mr. Bai yet.

“Yes,” said Guan’s mother, “that Mr. Bai has such a special identity, the establishment of the Divine Dragon Kingdom Academy must be related to him, right?”

Guan Mi nodded.

This is hardly a secret; in fact, many people who have heard the name "Mr. Bai" can make the connection.

“Some people say he’s a deity,” Guan’s mother thought of a colleague’s mysterious words during a chat and found it amusing. She asked her daughter, “When do you think we should invite this deity over for a meal? How about tomorrow?”

"Do you think immortals need to eat?" Guan Mi asked rhetorically.

Guan's mother stopped probing and asked directly, "When are you going to invite him over for a visit?"

"It's inconvenient." Guan Mi refused without hesitation.

How could Bailong be suitable to come to our house in his current state?

Perhaps we can invite him when he surpasses the Dragon Transformation Realm.

She heard her master say in a dream that cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect could regain their human form after crossing the Dragon Transformation Realm.
